Duan Jiancheng stayed alone in the private room for a long time.
Time passed slowly, and the old lady had already come downstairs. Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye were already waiting downstairs.
Seeing the old lady come down, the two quickly went to greet her.
Luo Qingyuan: "Grandma, how are you? Are we going home? Where's Grandpa?"
Although Duan Ye didn't say a word, his attentive gaze remained fixed on the old lady.
The old lady wasn't as lively as usual, but she smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I'm home. Your grandfather should still be upstairs."
"By the way, Qingyuan, why don't you go home with Xiaoye tonight? It's not good for a couple to be separated for too long."
Duan Ye paused for a few seconds, then subconsciously looked at Luo Qingyuan, because the old lady's condition was clearly not right.
After considering it for a moment, Luo Qingyuan said, "Grandma, I'd better take you back."
The old lady waved her hand: "Alright, go back now, Grandma doesn't need you here."
After saying that, the old lady turned and left.
Seeing this, Duan Ye quickly said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow night?"
Luo Qingyuan was a little reluctant, but she couldn't stop worrying about her grandmother's condition, so she nodded and said, "Come pick me up from work."
Duan Ye was both amused and exasperated, but he still nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, wife. I promise you'll see me as soon as you get off work tomorrow, okay?"
Luo Qingyuan was finally happy. She smiled, nodded, said goodbye, and turned to chase after the old lady.
Seeing that Duan Jiancheng hadn't come down yet, Duan Ye thought for a moment and quickly went upstairs as well.
Duan Ye pushed open the door to the private room, only to see an old man with a dejected look on his face.
In Duan Ye's mind, Duan Jiancheng had always been a formidable and omnipotent figure. He had never seen his grandfather like this before, and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion: "Grandpa..."
Duan Jiancheng: "Your grandma went back to her hometown, right?"
Duan Ye nodded: "I went back a long time ago."
Duan Jiancheng: "Book me a ticket back to my hometown tomorrow too."
Duan Ye: "But Grandpa, you've just returned. Why don't you stay in Kyoto for a few more days?"
Duan Jiancheng shook his head: "It was the right decision not to settle in Kyoto back then. Grandpa, you should go back."
"As for your marriage with Qingyuan, after the New Year, your grandmother and I will choose an auspicious day and get the wedding done as soon as possible."
"Go ahead and investigate Qingyuan's two uncles. Don't wrong innocent people. But if they are really guilty, you can't consider the Luo family's relationship. Do you understand what Grandpa means?"
Duan Ye nodded: "I understand."
Duan Jiancheng stood up shakily, and for some reason, his legs were shaking quite violently.
Duan Ye was startled and quickly stepped forward to support the man: "Grandpa!"
Duan Jiancheng simply smiled and patted Duan Ye's hand: "Grandpa is getting old, and his health isn't as robust as it used to be."
Duan Ye was quite worried: "Grandpa, let me take you to the hospital for a check-up."
Duan Jiancheng had no such intention: "Why waste the money? Grandpa knows his own body. It's too late today, let's go home."
Duan Ye wanted to say something, but Duan Jiancheng's expression left no room for refusal, so he could only reply, "Yes."
Duan Jiancheng was helped out of the restaurant by Duan Ye.
The two elderly people ate the meal with unusual heaviness.
Duan Jiancheng admitted that Zhang Shufen was right. Let the grudges of the older generation end with the older generation. Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the younger generation should also live for themselves.
Duan Ye drove Duan Jiancheng home. Usually, Duan Jiancheng was very talkative, but this time, he didn't say much at all. Even when Duan Ye joked, Duan Jiancheng was too lazy to respond and just kept his eyes closed to rest.
Duan Ye was completely baffled. What exactly did Grandma Luo say to Grandpa?
Unlike Duan Jiancheng, Luo Qingyuan personally drove her grandmother home, and Zhang Shufen kept her eyes closed the whole way, not paying any attention to Luo Qingyuan.
Luo Qingyuan glanced at the old lady in the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Grandma, is there anything I can help you with?"
Luo Qingyuan thought that the old lady would remain silent this time, but to her surprise, the old lady suddenly opened her eyes and said, "You should hold your wedding as soon as possible. Find a time after the New Year, the sooner the better."
Luo Qingyuan asked, puzzled, "Is it that rushed?"
The old lady said, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to do it as soon as possible."
"We've already gotten our marriage certificate so long ago, it's not right to keep delaying the wedding."
Luo Qingyuan had the same thought in mind, and she was more than happy to have someone bring it up now.
"good."
"Grandma, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
The old lady's heart tightened, but seeing that Luo Qingyuan's expression was normal, she calmed down again.
"No need. Grandma just had a check-up last month. She still has a lot of medicine left. The doctor said she should go for another check-up after she finishes it. Let's talk about it again in a while."
"But..."
The old lady said, "No buts, don't I know my own body?"
"As for you, since you've been accompanying that girl from the Shen family to choose a wedding dress lately, why don't you take a look yourself?"
——
Luo Qingyuan agreed, and the car slowly drove back to the Luo family mansion.
Luo Qingyuan personally helped the old lady and escorted her back to her courtyard.
Just as Aunt Xue was about to go back inside, Luo Qingyuan called her.
"Aunt Xue, come here for a moment."
Aunt Xue quickly went over: "What's wrong, Miss..."
Luo Qingyuan frowned: "How has Grandma been feeling lately?"
The old lady's words made her inexplicably uneasy.
Aunt Xue: "She can eat and sleep well, but she hasn't finished the medicine the doctor prescribed. The old lady doesn't like taking medicine and always finds various ways to avoid it."
