Qin Yu is recovering well; although he is still a little weak, his spirits are much better.
When the major families of Ancheng heard about Qin Yu's hospitalization, they went to the hospital to visit him one after another.
However, for the first few days, Qin Zheng refused to see Qin Yu because Qin Yu was too weak to receive visitors. It wasn't until almost a week later that he began to accept visits from some of the families he was on good terms with.
The relationship between the Qiao family and the Qin family was not good, so although the Qiao family also sent a visiting card, Qin Zheng did not accept it.
To his surprise, the Qiao family kept contacting him for three days, until the day Qin Yu was discharged from the hospital after recovering. Qiao Yihan, the young master of the Qiao family, even came to see him directly.
Qin Yu was discharged from the hospital on a Saturday. Qin Sheng was woken up early in the morning by Gu Yueming to go to the hospital to pick up Qin Yu.
The servants packed his things, so they didn't have to worry about it. After Director Liao checked Qin Yu's body one last time and confirmed that there were no problems and he could be discharged from the hospital, Qin Shi'an and Qin Sheng stepped forward and supported him on either side.
Qin Yu hadn't seen Qin Sheng for the past few days, and when she suddenly saw her now, she was momentarily dazed. It took her a while to come to her senses, and she sighed as she patted Qin Sheng's hand: "Good child, I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Qin Sheng looked at the old man's slightly cloudy eyes, paused, and said calmly, "I'm going back."
"The very next day, at the Qin Family Manor."
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and said, "I was wondering why they hadn't left the house for so long during that time. It turns out they were scared by you."
He patted Qin Sheng's hand again and agreed, "You did the right thing. When dealing with people like your uncle and aunt, you can't reason with them. You have to be tough when necessary. Only when they are really scared will they behave themselves."
"Next time they cause you trouble, just retaliate without hesitation!"
Qin Sheng nodded and replied, "I know."
She still had her usual aloof demeanor, but perhaps because she was so beautiful and deceptive, or perhaps because Qin Yu felt indebted to her, seeing her with her eyes slightly lowered, he felt that this little granddaughter was really well-behaved and sensible.
They're just so lovable.
He couldn't help but pat her hand again, his eyes full of affection.
When Qin Yanshu rushed over, this was the scene she saw, and she found it extremely jarring.
Without much thought, she quickly ran forward, pushed past Qin Sheng, and took Qin Yu's arm, smiling as she said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've been busy studying for my midterms for the past few days and haven't had a proper rest. I accidentally overslept today and almost missed picking you up from the hospital."
She patted her chest as if still shaken, then playfully made a face: "Luckily, I made it in time."
She looked at Qin Yu after speaking, only to find her staring at her with a stern face.
Qin Yanshu was stunned: "Wh...what's wrong...Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that?"
She used to act cute and clingy with her grandfather whenever she did something wrong or got into trouble, and he would always just say a few words to her and then let the matter drop.
She hasn't done anything yet, so why is Grandpa looking at her like that?
In an instant, Qin Yanshu felt a surge of deep grievance.
Qin Sheng knew Qin Yanshu's intentions when she rushed over, so she didn't argue with her and simply stepped aside. Now, seeing Qin Yanshu's tearful and aggrieved expression, Qin Sheng felt quite annoyed.
I've lost count of how many times this has happened.
Not interested in arguing with her, Qin Sheng nodded to Qin Yu and Qin Shi'an and said, "I'll go see if Dad has finished the formalities."
He left immediately after saying that.
With his hands in his pockets and taking long strides, even just his back view exuded a cool and aloof aura.
As Qin Yu watched, the anger that had just risen in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He chuckled to himself.
Suddenly I understood.
What difference does it make whether he apologizes or not? Even if he forces Yan Yan to apologize, it will only be a forced result. With Sheng Sheng's personality, she won't be happy; she'll probably find it annoying.
This also made Yan Yan feel wronged and angry.
Why would he do something that pleases neither side?
Compared to an apology...
Qin Yu thought of something and turned to Qin Shi'an on the other side, saying, "Didn't the Yu family bring me a box of nice pearls when they came to visit me a couple of days ago? Go ask your Aunt Li where she put them and tell her to give them to Sheng Sheng."
Qin Shi paused for a moment, then released his grip on Qin Yu's hand and said, "Okay."
He turned around and left the ward.
Only Qin Yanshu and Qin Yu remained in the room. Qin Yu pulled her to sit down on the sofa on one side.
Qin Yanshu bit her lip: "Grandpa..."
Qin Yu then looked at her: "You don't like Sheng Sheng, do you?"
Qin Yanshu lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Qin Yu didn't care and continued, "Do you feel that Sheng Sheng stole your things and stole everyone's attention from you?"
Qin Yanshu remained silent, but her other hand clenched into a fist.
Qin Yu gave her a deep look and said in a low voice, "Then do you know that those things were never yours to begin with?"
Qin Yanshu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't understand why her grandfather would say such a thing.
Qin Yu continued speaking.
"Do you think the reason your second uncle's family has been visiting you at school every few days these past two years, bringing you this and that, is it really because they care about you and love you?"
No.
"They came to school to see you because they found out that Sheng Sheng is in the same class as you, and they're using seeing you as an excuse to secretly see Sheng Sheng."
"As for those things, on the one hand, there's a reason, and on the other hand," Qin Yu paused, glancing at Qin Yanshu before continuing, "they are compensation."
"Yan Yan, you've always been a smart child. I don't believe you didn't guess anything. So what are you doing now?"
Qin Yanshu's face was beyond ugly; her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Yes, Qin Yu was right; she had guessed it.
She had guessed it the moment she learned that Qin Sheng was actually the daughter of her second uncle and aunt.
A few years earlier, Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming were not close to their family, and she was no exception. It wasn't until she went to high school that they suddenly started coming to the school to see her frequently. Each time they stayed for a short time, said a few words, put down their things, and left.
Qin Yanshu found it strange, but when she received the envious glances from her classmates, she subconsciously dismissed her doubts and accepted the role of the beloved eldest daughter of the Qin family in everyone's eyes.
However, when the truths she had deliberately ignored came to light, she was unwilling to accept them and tried every means to grasp what was never meant to be hers.
The repeated difficulties and targeting only fueled his growing anger with each failure.
Even now, she can no longer control her emotions and behavior.
