In that case, wouldn't they both be left with deep regrets?
Mu Yaodong noticed that the old man was in a bad mood, but he didn't show it. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call Uncle Chen and the others."
Old Mrs. Mu, Cui Rong, and Mu Ting were well aware of what Old Master Mu was thinking. They knew, and like Mu Yaodong, they had noticed Old Master Mu's unusual behavior. However, even though the three of them were upset, they remained outwardly normal.
Mu Ting laughed and said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten that Grandpa Chen had brain surgery? The surgeon was Dr. Song. Back then, Dr. Song was still working at the Red Star Machinery Factory Staff Hospital. Grandpa Chen and Grandma He (Old Mrs. Chen) traveled a long way to seek treatment from him!"
In the past two years, you have been visiting Grandpa Chen frequently. Have you noticed that Grandpa Chen has ever had any health problems?
Furthermore, Dr. Song also performed surgeries on Grandpa Lu and the others. To date, which of these gentlemen has experienced a relapse of their old ailment?
Sure enough, Old Master Mu was comforted, as evidenced by his expression gradually returning to normal.
With a long sigh, Grandpa Mu said, "People tend to overthink when they get old. Alright, those of you who need to go back can go back, and those of you who need to do your work can go on your business. I'm going to lie down and take a nap."
Mu Yaodong was very perceptive. When he saw that the old man was moving his body, he quickly went forward to help him lie down on the hospital bed.
"Mom, Yaodong and Xiaoting are with Dad. Shall I go home with you? Let's go to bed early tonight and head to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning to take Dad into the operating room."
Upon hearing Cui Rong's words, Old Mrs. Mu looked towards the hospital bed and saw that Old Mr. Mu had indeed closed his eyes and was preparing to rest. She couldn't help but say, "Old man, you don't want to see me, do you? Fine, you go to sleep, I'm going back!"
As soon as the words left her lips, Old Mrs. Mu, supported by Cui Rong, turned and walked out of the ward.
Mu Yaodong and his son Mu Ting escorted the two to the door of the ward. After thinking for a moment, Mu Yaodong said to Mu Ting, "I'll see your grandma and your mother into the car and then come back."
Mu Ting nodded slightly: "I'll stay with Grandpa in the hospital room."
Both Grandpa Mu and Mu Yaodong have their own cars. Grandma Mu and her daughter-in-law Cui Rong came to the hospital in Grandpa Mu's car. Right now, the driver is sitting in the car waiting for Grandma Mu and her daughter-in-law to come out of the inpatient department.
Hearing familiar footsteps echoing in the ward, Grandpa Mu opened his eyes, turned to Mu Ting, and said, "Now it's just the two of us, grandpa and grandson. Grandpa has a few words to say to you, regardless of whether you want to get married in the future..."
Don't make things difficult for yourselves in matters of the heart... Some people, once missed, are missed forever, especially since you met relatively late in life, it's destined that you and she won't have a future together.
Grandpa's only point in telling you all this is: don't make things difficult for yourself!
Mu Ting understood what Old Master Mu meant. He smiled and said, "No. The moment I learned that she was married, I stopped having any other thoughts about her. In my heart, she is now my colleague, and to put it more deeply, she is also my friend."
"It's good that you understand."
Grandpa Mu's eyes showed satisfaction, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face: "Have you seen Lanlan's two sets of twins?"
Mu Ting shook his head.
"I've seen them a few times at your Grandpa Chen's house. They are really good-looking. Not only have they inherited the best features of their parents, but they are also very smart. Moreover, both the older twins and the younger ones are very sensible."
Upon seeing me and hearing Grandpa Chen's introduction, they surrounded me, calling me "Grandpa Mu" repeatedly. When I left, they all saw me off to the courtyard gate, waving their little hands and saying goodbye.
Grandpa Mu had his own great-grandson, but he was still very envious and jealous of Grandpa Chen.
Not only are there many great-grandchildren, but each one is good-looking, intelligent, and polite.
"Oh, by the way, your Grandpa Chen also has a granddaughter named Chen Yue, who is Lanlan's cousin. This young lady gave birth to three children in a row; her first pregnancy resulted in two sons and a daughter."
She gave birth to two daughters with her second child and a son with her third. However, shortly after becoming pregnant with her third child, she divorced her husband. The young woman was very strong; after giving birth to her third child, she took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Capital Conservatory of Music with high scores. Six months ago, she was still single. "If you..."
Mu Ting interrupted the old man before he could finish speaking, saying, "Grandpa, don't think about such nonsense! I've said before that I just haven't met the right person yet. If I'm lucky enough to meet one, I will definitely not rule out getting married."
“Mingxuan and you are like brothers. I suppose your tastes are not that different. You were attracted to Lanlan, so he probably had the same idea. But she got married three years ago and her child is almost two years old now, right? The reason I’m telling you all this is because I don’t want you to be alone when you reach my age.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Mu sighed again.
“But you clearly have a laissez-faire attitude towards whether or not I get married.”
Mu Ting smiled somewhat helplessly: "So you just said all that, but you're actually hoping I'll get married soon. Grandpa, you're contradicting yourself, don't you know that?"
Grandpa Mu rolled his eyes: "Who am I doing this for?! Fine, if you don't like hearing it, I won't say it anymore!"
At the same time, outside the large courtyard where the Chen family lived.
Zheng Qiuwen stood on the sidewalk about one or two hundred meters from the entrance of the compound, and opposite her stood a tall and slender figure.
“Aside from the time your biological father and you came to Shanghai to visit our family and express our gratitude to your parents for adopting you, you have only sent gifts to our family during holidays in recent years, and you have never come into our home again.”
Wenwen, are you... are you still blaming your older brother?
Zheng Xu, that's right, the person standing in front of Zheng Qiuwen is her adoptive parents' older brother. He came to Beijing on a business trip a couple of days ago and just finished his business this afternoon. He specifically went to the university where Zheng Qiuwen studies, thinking of meeting with Zheng Qiuwen and talking things out to avoid Zheng Qiuwen and her family continuing to have a long-term conflict.
"No."
Zheng Qiuwen shook her head.
"Then why don't you think about going home to visit? Don't you miss your parents, Xiao Can, and... me, your older brother?"
When Zheng Xu spoke about himself, he paused for a long time before speaking.
"I have to take care of my child and go to school, I just can't manage the time..."
Zheng Qiuwen explained.
"You have a nanny to take care of the child, but you don't have time during winter and summer vacations?"
Zheng Xu's expression was clearly complicated. He said, "It's not that I don't accept your feelings, it's that I can't accept them..."
Zheng Qiuwen interrupted him: "That's all in the past. I couldn't distinguish between family affection and romantic love back then. Now that many years have passed, brother, you shouldn't take those things to heart. Otherwise, I'll feel uncomfortable."
"My parents and Xiaocan still don't know. I have to go back first thing tomorrow morning. Will you be coming home for the Spring Festival? My parents and Xiaocan will be very happy to see you during the Spring Festival!"
