The old man was no different from before, including his expression and even the wrinkles on his forehead, as if there was no change at all.
It seems like he is still that kind old man.
Cao Ying suddenly felt a surge of sympathy.
Yes, she felt some sympathy for Grandpa, but not much love or respect.
She wanted to stop herself from thinking about some things, but she couldn't.
Sighing in her heart, Cao Ying knew that as she grew up, the people and things around her had changed.
The more you see clearly, the sadder you feel.
Reality is cruel and helpless, but no matter how much you dislike it, you can only accept it silently.
The world will never make any compromises or changes because of individual subjectivity.
Just like Old Master Cao who has been persistent all his life, how could he easily compromise when he is old?
Looking at the old man's familiar face, Cao Ying seemed to be able to feel the stubbornness and strength in his bones, but also felt a lot more unfamiliar.
The old man looked at his most beloved granddaughter and sighed in his heart.
He has been in charge of the Cao family for decades, and his three sons have never been out of his control. He had seen their current situation clearly decades ago.
It seems that everything is going so smoothly and nothing changes.
But he knew that there were actually variables.
Some things will always happen unexpectedly.
For example, his most beloved granddaughter became increasingly strong and stubborn.
He felt that this was very similar to how he was when he was young.
But this is not what he wants to see.
In his plan, Cao Ying should find an ideal man to marry, and this man must be very powerful or have a very powerful background.
He used to have high hopes for Tang Xiaobao, and he even created opportunities for the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, but to his disappointment, Cao Ying never had the courage to take that step.
It's obvious that the two of them have feelings for each other, so why did it not come to fruition?
He was puzzled at first, but later he could only put all the blame on Tang Xiaobao.
In his opinion, Tang Xiaobao was really too fickle.
Since that was the case, he made up his mind. He could not tolerate the family's direction being deviated.
Even though he stayed in the mountains all day, there wasn't much in the world that could be hidden from him, not to mention that many people wouldn't deliberately hide things from him.
If he didn't say anything, it meant tacit approval. He wouldn't be so direct when talking to anyone, always making his position and bottom line clear in subtle ways.
The sons have become accustomed to this, adapted to it, and accepted it.
Only Cao Ying's idea exceeded his expectations.
But she was his granddaughter after all, his most beloved granddaughter. He was very conflicted and distressed, but he was powerless and could do nothing.
Cao Ying and the old man stared at each other for a long time, and finally softened her heart and sighed in her heart: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"Fortunately, Tang Xiaobao's medical skills are indeed amazing. To be honest, I have to thank you and your daughter. Otherwise, I might have passed away." The old man said with a smile.
"Grandpa will surely live a long life." Cao Ying added, "To be honest, Tang Xiaobao has done a great favor to our Cao family."
Old Master Cao was startled for a moment, frowning slightly, then his forehead relaxed again. He smiled and said, "If there's a chance, let him come and see me, an old man. Playing chess and chatting with me would be nice. He's also my health consultant."
Cao Ying was speechless.
This is a bit false.
She was very disappointed.
Is it really like this?
"Have you talked to your second uncle just now?" the old man asked again.
"We chatted for a few minutes." Cao Ying said.
"He loves you the most and sometimes tends to indulge you. You can't just listen to what he says. You should have your own opinions." The old man reminded.
Cao Ying frowned, but nodded.
"I heard you've been resting recently?"
"Yes, I am very tired."
The old man smiled and said, "Your uncle complained to me that there were too many things to do in the company and he was exhausted without your help."
"I will go to the company tomorrow and won't take a break at will in the future." Cao Ying was silent for a moment before speaking seriously.
The old man still smiled and said, "You're a girl, why do you have to work so hard? It would be great if you could find a good husband to marry. You're not a child anymore, so let them and their son take care of the company's affairs. After all, they are men, and they should take on more responsibilities for the family."
Cao Ying frowned and said, "Grandpa, I'm also a member of the Cao family. I should work hard for the family's revitalization. Grandpa, you're not a man who favors boys over girls, right? You once said that women hold up half the sky. I will work hard to hold up the whole sky!"
Old Master Cao was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I just feel sorry for you, it's up to you." "Thank you, Grandpa."
Cao Ying stood up and bowed to the old man.
The old man closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back and rest, I'm a little tired."
Looking at the old man's aged face, Cao Ying's heart softened, and she felt a little apologetic. She said, "Grandpa, how about I give you a leg massage?"
"No need." The old man opened his eyes, looked at Cao Ying and smiled.
Cao Ying felt a slight pain in her heart.
She knew that from today on, she had no way out.
Walking out of the yard, Cao Ying felt a little heavy.
She turned her head and glanced at the old man. It seemed as if she was in a trance. Grandpa had become much older. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the old man, adding a bit of desolation.
Uncle Fu sent her to the gate.
