Although Chen Jie's burned face was ugly and his silly appearance was not likable, his clear, baby-like eyes made it impossible to dislike his somewhat foolish self.
It will only make those who see him feel heartbroken.
Tears welled up in Old Master Chen's cloudy eyes again, and rolled down his wrinkled face once more.
Chen Jie's under-eye bruises were very severe, but it's easy to imagine that given the extent of his fear, he probably hasn't had a good night's sleep in all these years since that fire.
So, at this moment, because he regarded Xiao Ruanruan as an angel who would protect him, he felt at ease and soon became so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.
Xiao Ruanruan guided him to bed, but even after he fell asleep, he held onto Xiao Ruanruan's hand and refused to let go.
Chen Danqing had no choice but to have someone bring over a comfortable beanbag chair for Xiao Ruanruan so she could sit down on the edge of the bed.
Grandpa Chen also moved a stool over and sat down with her, looking at Xiao Ruanruan with an apologetic expression, "Little girl, I'm so sorry, I've really troubled you today."
"You were so kind to ask for my help before, but Danqing and I refused. I'm so sorry."
Little Ruanruan glanced at Chen Danqing standing behind Grandpa Chen, revealing eight small, white teeth, and smiled warmly, "Grandpa Chen, it's alright."
I lost a bet to Sister Danqing, and a bet's a bet, so I have to accept the loss!
Grandpa Chen looked at Xiao Ruanruan with affection, then at Chen Jie on the bed, his cloudy eyes filled with a kind light.
In fact, he did not discriminate against girls, and Chen Danqing's childhood genius was always his pride.
The reason he went to great lengths to support Chen Danqing's research on time machines was because Chen Danqing's obsession was too deep, and he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
Moreover, he realized that Chen Jie couldn't cure Chen Danqing's mental illness, and he didn't know what direction Chen Danqing would take after he passed away.
Rather than waiting for him to face the unknown future alone in six months, it's better to stay with his granddaughter while he still has a breath left.
After deliberately sending Chen Danqing away, Grandpa Chen said to Xiao Ruanruan, "Xiao Ruanruan, actually, I have researched a lot of information about time machines. Although time machines are theoretically possible, it is almost impossible to succeed in reality."
Moreover, even if her time machine does succeed, I heard from the scientists that all sorts of accidents could happen when using it.
I don't want Danqing to live in the shadow of that past event at such a young age. It's just that Danqing is too smart, so smart that I have no way to stop or change her mind.
So, I'd like to ask you for your help..."
Grandpa Chen hadn't finished speaking, but Xiao Ruanruan already understood what he meant. "Grandpa Chen, don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Sister Danqing."
In fact, she couldn't persuade Chen Danqing either. Once a person's obsession is planted, it's very difficult to change unless there is someone who is extremely important to that person, in which case it's possible to change them.
As for the person who was very important to Chen Danqing, Xiao Ruanruan looked at Chen Jie, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Little Ruanruan was held tightly by the sleeping Chen Jie and couldn't leave. She was completely unaware that the three old rascals were hiding in a corner of the Chen family's courtyard, secretly making a phone call to Gu Chen.
"Gu boy, where are you right now? I'm telling you, you'd better come to the Chen family right now, or your wife will be snatched away by someone else, and don't blame us for not warning you!" After saying that, Grandpa Yan hung up the phone without giving Gu Chen a chance to speak.
Grandpa Peng disapproved of Grandpa Yan's actions. "Old man Yan, what are you doing? Your dear granddaughter is just treating Chen Jie. Why did you call that kid Gu over? Isn't this just making things worse?"
Grandpa Yan said sternly, "Look at that kid surnamed Chen, even in his sleep he's holding onto Xiao Ruanruan's hand and won't let go. Is this how you treat illness? Is this how you treat illness?"
"Then why isn't there a cure like that? When that young Chen was so young, he went through such a big fire, and he was burned like that. He has psychological trauma. Our granddaughter is so cute. He sees our granddaughter as an angel who can save him. What's so strange about that?"
"You..." Grandpa Yan wanted to retort.
Grandpa Huang quickly stepped forward and separated the two of them. "Alright, alright, you two, instead of arguing, you should think about how to cure that kid surnamed Chen."
"I fulfilled that bet for my dear granddaughter!"
Meanwhile, after Grandpa Yan hung up the phone, Gu Chen looked at his phone and smiled. These three old men were getting more and more unreliable.
Who in the Chen family could possibly steal his wife away?
Could it be Chen Danqing?
However, when he thought of Chen Danqing, his face quickly darkened. Besides Chen Danqing, the Chen family also had Chen Danqing's older brother, Chen Jie.
Although Chen Jie's situation is special, but...
Playing dumb or pitiful is a good way to get close to a softie.
Besides, Chen Jie is truly foolish and pitiful!
Gu Chen grabbed his coat and left the office.
After the three grandfathers finished arguing, they quickly and quietly returned to Chen Jie's room and began to perform various examinations on him.
However, because we couldn't alert Chen Jie, there weren't many tests that could be done.
They learned from Old Master Chen that over the years, although Old Master Chen had indeed invited all the famous doctors he could find to come to Chen Jie's home to examine him, Chen Jie was not cooperative, so no diagnosis was made.
