Seeing that the old man's expression was still not very good, Qin Yangjin asked him softly, "Dad, let me help you inside to rest."
He knew what the old man was thinking. His blood pressure had been rising every two years, and they could only watch helplessly as his health deteriorated.
The biggest worry in the old man's heart right now is Yang Cheng. Over the years, he has neither dated a girlfriend nor shown any desire to get married.
He would naturally be anxious, and in his anxiety, he would inevitably act somewhat recklessly!
However, Yang Cheng was stubborn and unyielding, and no matter how they tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.
She has always been unwilling to get married, and even when it comes to finding a partner, she tries to avoid it if possible, and if she can't, she causes trouble!
Otherwise, given his family background and appearance, even though he was a soldier, many girls would still want to marry him…
Actually, he felt that Yang Cheng's last words were his long-held thoughts, but he was forced to say them now!
"No need, bring me my cane."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yangjin immediately went over and picked up the cane that the old man had thrown in his anger, placing it beside him.
The old man stood up shakily with his cane. He had just lost his temper and used up a lot of energy, so his legs were too weak to support him.
Seeing this, Qin Yangjin wanted to step forward to help, but was met with a cold glare from the old man.
He understood immediately and withdrew his hands, which were outstretched in mid-air.
The old man was assertive his whole life, acting decisively and efficiently. Even now, at his age when he is less mobile, he still doesn't like to rely on others.
In his view, if Qin Yangjin and the others helped him, it would be a demonstration of his uselessness, so…
They could only let the old man do it himself; that's how it was with everything—he had to do it himself, and no one could interfere or help him.
Because he helped the old man up last time, he was scolded severely instead. He didn't care about being scolded, but the old man felt frustrated and didn't eat anything afterwards!
Therefore, he learned from his mistake and resolutely decided not to take action unless absolutely necessary!
Old Master Qin turned his head with a not-so-pleasant expression and looked at Ji Muhan, who had been silent the whole time. "Come in with me."
Then he took the lead, using his cane to support himself, and slowly walked towards his room.
Qin Yangjin glanced at Ji Muhan, indicating that he should follow.
Ji Muhan's eyes were calm as she followed the old man silently, step by step.
Ji Muhan walked to the back until he finally stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.
The old man turned his back and looked at the family photo on the wall. In the photo, he looked more than twenty years younger than his current frail self. It was when Qin Yangjin had just gotten married and the family had just taken a family photo.
His smile was gentle back then; although he wasn't in his prime, he was still much better than he is now.
At least he had a son and a daughter, and although there was a troublesome jerk, he truly felt like the happiest person at that time.
That gentle expression, that smile that seemed to hold the whole world in her heart, was something he could never learn...
His back view looked desolate, and a trace of sadness slowly settled around him!
The large room was filled with an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere, like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, making him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
For some reason, in this sentimental and heavy atmosphere, a bright and beautiful face involuntarily flashed into his mind.
“When your mother was still alive, this family photo was her favorite. She always said it was the only photo of me with a smile on my face, and that I should cherish it.”
"She always tells her mother that if she's going to find a marriage partner, she must be someone like me."
"Then, after much deliberation, your grandmother finally chose your father."
Ji Muhan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and pressed his thin lips into an arc.
He watched silently as the sunlight from the window cast a long, faint shadow on the old man, almost invisible.
He stared intently, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Even though he had nothing, one could sense a sense of desolation and sorrow in his profile, which inexplicably tugged at Old Master Qin's heart, causing it to ache!
