"Grandpa, don't flatter yourself. It's like nobody wants to listen to you." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't tolerate him at all and rolled her eyes on the spot.
He turned to leave, but his hand was grabbed in the next second.
There was no one else but Qin Yushen who stopped her.
Lin Xiaoxiao was forced to stop and glanced back at him. "You two talk. I'll wait for you outside."
"You don't need to go out." Qin Yushen not only prevented her from leaving, but also helped her sit down.
Worried that the chair was too hard, he then placed a soft pillow behind her back and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Qin Yushen asked again, "Would you like some water?"
Lin Xiaoxiao smacked her lips. "I won't drink."
Although she was a little thirsty, she didn't want to drink the old man's water at all.
Qin Yushen took out the water bottle he had brought with him when he went out, opened it and handed it to her, saying, "This is from home, have some."
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly curved into crescent moons. "Thank you."
Qin Yu smiled and waited for her to finish drinking before taking the kettle and screwing it on.
This servile, worthless treatment made Qin Jinye's teeth ache, and it also brought Old Master Qin's anger to a breaking point.
"You, you, you..." He pointed at Qin Yushen with trembling fingers, his eyes burning with raging anger.
Qin Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, not taking it seriously.
Old Master Qin felt awkward and annoyed that no one cared about his anger, but he couldn't bear to see his grandson serving as a servant to a woman.
"You're a grown man, doing these kinds of things, aren't you ashamed?" Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "You have no manliness at all."
In response, Qin Yushen quoted Lin Xiaoxiao's wise words: "Life is short, don't worry about it."
Old Master Qin rolled his eyes in anger, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath, his old teeth grinding together as if he were trying his best to control himself from exploding.
"Dad, it's their business, why are you meddling so much?" Qin Jinye said disdainfully.
The old man is such a busybody; he has to interfere in how other couples get along.
They deserve to be angry.
Qin Jinye couldn't find a reason to speak up for him.
"You and your son are both unfilial." Old Master Qin slammed his hand on the edge of the bed.
Qin Jinye smiled and said, "You've known for a long time that I'm unfilial."
He's an illegitimate child who was only recognized in his twenties, what filial piety does he need?
Qin Yu glanced at Qin Jinye and said calmly, "I follow my roots."
Qin Jinye: "......"
He touched his nose, unable to find a point to refute.
Old Master Qin lay back on the bed, rolling his eyes, feeling like he was about to be driven to his death by anger.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled twice, "I suppose all of Grandpa's children and grandchildren abroad are very filial."
None of them were filial enough to take him abroad.
For decades, not a single letter has been sent.
He's so filial.
That's incredibly moving.
"Shut...shut up." Old Master Qin struggled to sit up, panting heavily, and beckoned to Qin Yushen, "Grandson, come here, Grandpa has something to ask you."
This time, Qin Yushen didn't go against him. He stopped where the old man was just out of reach.
Old Master Qin reached out, but it was always just a little short.
After several attempts, the old man withdrew his hand with a somber expression.
He knew in his heart that the child had become distant from him.
Yes, it's all their fault for being so heartless to him before.
It's heartbreaking to see such a small child not having enough to eat or wear.
Qin Jinye pushed a stool over and said, "Sit down."
Qin Yu glanced at him indifferently, pulled up a stool, and sat down.
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye." Old Master Qin looked at Qin Yushen's aloof appearance and sighed.
"Just say what you have to say," Qin Yushen said bluntly, unmoved by his words.
Grandpa Qin choked up for a moment, then realized what he meant and asked in a low voice, "Tell Grandpa, are you about to be promoted to colonel? Have you gained the Chu family's favor?"
Qin Jinye also looked at Qin Yushen, his gaze indifferent, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Qin Yushen replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
This attitude made the father and son sit up straight, and their strange behavior made Lin Xiaoxiao take a second look.
"That's it." Old Master Qin clenched his hands excitedly, saying repeatedly, "Good, good, good, my Qin family has a worthy successor."
"You're only twenty-six years old, yet you already hold the rank of colonel. With the Chu family's connections, your future is immeasurable. You might even become the youngest army commander in Beijing."
"As long as we don't make any mistakes, our family can at least continue its glory for another hundred years."
Grandpa Qin excitedly got out of bed, staggered to the wardrobe, reached out and opened it, taking out a box made of pear wood.
On the way back, he tripped and fell. Qin Jinye reached out to steady him and took the box from him.
The weight he received made him pause for a moment.
Sitting back on the bed, the old man opened the box, which was full of gold bars, weighing about twenty pounds.
Based on current bank gold buyback prices, this box of gold bars is worth fifty to sixty thousand yuan.
If calculated using prices from later generations, it would be at least six million.
Not to mention Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen, even Qin Jinye was stunned for a moment.
These gold bars may only be a small part of Old Master Qin's vast wealth, which explains why Qin Huaiyi and Qin Huaijun are so interested in them.
Grandpa Qin closed the lid, placed the box on the table, and said to Qin Yushen, "These are all for you; they are a small token of my appreciation."
