Qin Yuehe and Zhou Lianjie, carrying large and small bags of gifts, walked into the ward with beaming smiles.
They didn't look like they were visiting a patient; they looked more like they had some great news to announce.
"Professor Xu, we heard you were hospitalized, so—"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Jingyan stepped forward and said politely but firmly, "Uncle, Aunt, my grandfather just woke up and is a little confused. He doesn't recognize people and is afraid of being disturbed. We appreciate your kindness, but please go back now."
Qin Yuehe and Zhou Lianjie looked very embarrassed.
Old Xu drank a few sips of hot water, glanced at the couple impatiently, and then turned his back to them.
Qin Yuehe and Zhou Lianjie could only laugh awkwardly a few times, put down their things, and leave the ward.
As soon as the two left, Old Man Xu threw a tantrum: "Throw away everything they brought! Feed it to the dogs! I can't stand the sight of it!"

Feifei quickly ran over and threw the gifts the two had brought into the trash can.
Shen Jingyan discovered that Old Man Xu was not entirely confused. Although his memory was disordered, he could still recognize Qin Yuehe and Zhou Lianjie, and he was also aware of what the couple had done.
Zhou Lianjie and Qin Yuehe came here to tell the Xu family the "good news" that Zhou Zhengqing and Xu Yatong had registered their marriage. However, they did not achieve their goal and were unwilling to leave. So they sat down on the bench outside the ward.
About half an hour later, Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin rushed to the hospital after getting off work.
When they saw Zhou Lianjie and his wife sitting at the door of the ward, they were first surprised, but then they realized it was not surprising.
They've always been willing to stand up for Hsu Ya-Tung, and their visit to the hospital this time might be to apologize on her behalf.
To everyone's surprise, just as Qiao Suxin and Xu Honglin reached the door of the ward, Qin Yuehe stood up and said happily:
"Our in-laws have arrived!"
This shout stunned both Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin.
Xu Honglin forced a smile and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to address me like this now?"

Qin Yuehe's smile grew even brighter: "Perfect, perfect! Zhengqing and Tongtong got their marriage certificate today, so aren't we in-laws now?"
"What did you say?" Xu Honglin asked in surprise.
"The two kids got their marriage certificate!" Qin Yuehe said. "They had a little argument before, but it was nothing. What young couple doesn't quarrel? My Zhengqing apologized to Tongtong, and Tongtong forgave him. The two kids put their heads together and got their certificate!"
Qin Yuehe became more and more excited as she spoke, while Xu Honglin's face grew increasingly gloomy.
“It’s not right for you to keep such a big thing from us. That’s why we wanted to take this opportunity of visiting Professor Xu to tell your family the good news!”
Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin showed no smiles.
"Don't you know how my dad ended up in the hospital?"
Xu Honglin's shoulders trembled slightly with anger. "He was angry because of Tongtong, and he missed a step on the stairs and fell like this! My dad heard what you just said, and who knows what will happen to him!"
Zhou Lianjie didn't take it seriously: "Teacher Xu, you can't say that. It's a happy occasion for the two children to get their marriage certificate. How can you, as their father, have such an attitude?"
What is a joyous occasion for the Zhou family is a disaster for the Xu family!

Qiao Suxin pressed down on Xu Honglin's trembling shoulders and said to Zhou Lianjie, "We understand what you mean, but my father's condition is unstable right now, and he especially cannot be stimulated. Please go back. As for Tongtong... we'll talk about it later."
Qiao Suxin's words were reasonable and her tone was gentle.
Qin Yuehe thought to herself, "She really is a stepmother. She pretends to be virtuous and loving on the surface, but when things really come to a critical point, she just abandons all responsibility."
She really wanted to ask, if Qiao Suxin's biological daughter were in this situation, would you have the same attitude?
But she didn't say anything. The two families had just gotten married, and it wouldn't look good to break off relations.
"Hehe, we understand, it's just that Tongtong has been wronged. Don't worry, she's now a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and we will definitely not mistreat her."
After Zhou Lianjie and Qin Yuehe left, Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin stood at the door of the ward for a long time with their brows furrowed.
Only after the couple had adjusted their facial expressions to a more relaxed state did they push open the door and enter the ward.
The two thought it would take Old Xu a long time to recognize them, but when Old Xu saw them, he asked with a stern face:
"What were you whispering about with those two people at the door just now?"

Qiao Suxin and Xu Honglin were stunned for a long time.
"It's nothing, Dad, we just chatted for a bit."
Old Xu snorted: "Don't lie to me, I heard you talking about Tongtong!"
Qiao Suxin and Xu Honglin looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before the couple could answer, Old Man Xu suddenly changed his expression and looked at Xu Honglin reproachfully: "Honglin, you're in the throes of high school, what brings you to the hospital? And who's that girl with you? You're so young and you already have a girlfriend?"
Xu Honglin: "..."
Qiao Suxin: "..."
Old Xu's memory is messed up again.
This relieved the couple who were struggling with their decision.
There's no need to come up with a reason to lie to Old Man Xu anymore.
