Chen Siyuan sighed inwardly; her grandfather hadn't even given her a chance to explain.
"yes."
Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be?
"Grandpa?" Chen Siyuan was speechless. Grandpa was her own grandfather, so why was he so domineering about this matter, not even giving her a chance to explain?
Wen Tonghai stared at Chen Siyuan for a long time, until Chen Siyuan could only lower her head.
This action caused Wen Tonghai a slight pang of pain in his heart.
He took a deep breath, stared intently at Chen Siyuan, and said, "Yuan'er, I want you to divorce Qiao Yuchen immediately!"
Chen Siyuan's expression changed drastically. What did this mean? Did making a fuss mean they would get a divorce?
Chen Siyuan looked at her grandfather. Since her rebirth, she knew how much her grandfather cared for her and how much he had sacrificed for her. It was just too much to ask him to divorce her just because she and Qiao Yuchen had a fight.
"Grandpa?"
"Get a divorce right away, and you don't need to go back today." Wen Tonghai had been in the underworld for so many years that he had developed a keen eye for detail. At this moment, his granddaughter's expression and eyes made his heart skip a beat.
Is it really too late?
Thinking of the news she had just received, she hardened her heart and gritted her teeth. No matter how much she had invested in Qiao Yuchen, she had to take advantage of this incident to completely sever ties with him.
"Why?" Chen Siyuan asked, trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart.
"Just know that Grandpa is doing this for your own good." He would never have the heart to separate them unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Grandpa, you used to think highly of him, why did you suddenly deny it? Is it because Qiao Yuchen is angry with me now?"
"Your grandfather only wanted you to have a good home and live a peaceful life." This was also your deceased mother's last wish.
Otherwise, she wouldn't risk her own life to protect your safety.
“Grandpa, I admit that some things happened when I first came to the capital, but that’s all in the past. Why do you still want me to leave?”
Wen Tonghai took a deep breath and said, "You yourself know that some things have happened, don't you know that these things almost cost you your life several times?"
Chen Siyuan looked at her grandfather. She could tell that his sudden change must have been due to something, but it was definitely not because of a fight with Qiao Yuchen.
"I need to know why?" Chen Siyuan insisted.
She could obediently leave, putting her grandfather at ease, simply because everything he did was for her own good. But her grandfather's current state reminded her of what happened in her past life.
He's planning to risk everything.
I don't understand what could possibly make my grandfather risk everything.
She wanted to know, she wanted to be involved, not to be shielded from danger.
"There's no reason why, it's just that the two of you don't seem to be a good match. The capital is also a place of trouble and controversy, what's so good about being here?"
Chen Siyuan was even more certain of her thoughts: she could obey, but she had to know why.
"Grandpa, the only ones who can make you so cautious are us younger generation. None of my cousins have had any trouble recently, so it's just me left. Do you think that if I have a fight with Qiao Yuchen and take the opportunity to leave, I will listen to you?"
Wen Tonghai looked at his granddaughter, and at that moment, she seemed like a complete stranger to him.
It seems she is no longer a child.
Just like what happened in the South City, my sudden transformation was similar.
It seems that after that, she never saw her granddaughter clearly again.
“Qiao Yuchen and I had a falling out. If something really happens to me, he won’t just ignore it.” As she spoke, she looked at her grandfather. “The reason why my grandfather is in such a hurry to get rid of me is probably related to my mother.”
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Wen Tonghai instantly flew into a rage, standing up abruptly and knocking over his chair in the process, but he didn't care. "I told you to leave, so leave. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Chen Siyuan became even more certain, "It should be related to my mother's death."
Wen Tonghai looked at his granddaughter, his heart sank, and a terrible conjecture suddenly jumped into his mind.
"Tell me, why did you come to the capital?"
"That's exactly what Grandpa thought," Chen Siyuan confessed directly.
"Then why are you marrying Qiao Yuchen...?" He couldn't accept it, and he didn't want to accept it. He couldn't bring himself to say the last words.
“My relationship with Qiao Yuchen started as a collaboration. I used my identity as the young mistress of the General’s Mansion to find out the truth about my mother in person.”
“You…” Wen Tonghai stared at Chen Siyuan, the color draining from his face, turning deathly pale.
Chen Siyuan's tone softened as well, "Grandpa, I know there are some things you haven't let go of, and so have I. If it weren't for someone trying to kill me in Nancheng, I wouldn't have wanted to come to this filthy place."
"What?" Wen Tonghai looked at his granddaughter in front of him. Why? He didn't know.
"Before I cooperated with Qiao Yuchen, the people from the Western Depot came to me and wanted to kill me. Princess Qiya also tried to kill me by using Madam Tao. I was lucky and survived both times."
"You..." Wen Tonghai was too ashamed to speak.
Even in the southern part of the city, far from the capital, things are not peaceful.
Looking at his stubborn granddaughter, he still reluctantly lowered his head.
“People’s luck isn’t always good. I won’t always be safe and sound. That’s why I agreed to Qiao Yuchen’s proposed cooperation. I will help him gain a foothold in the General’s Mansion and prevent him from marrying just any noble lady. In return, I will use my status as the young mistress to successfully infiltrate this circle in the capital and find out the truth of what happened back then.”
Wen Tonghai was startled; his granddaughter had come with this very purpose.
Chen Siyuan was not in a good mood either. Her grandfather must have found out something, or discovered something, which was why he was so eager for her to leave.
This time, even though she knew her grandfather meant well, she wouldn't back down. When there was danger, she wanted to stand in front of them, not behind them, running away from everything.
Qiao Yuchen has recently made some moves, which will make things much easier for them.
Besides, among all the members of the Wen family, only I have the ability to break into that circle, so why not give it my all?
There are many things she hasn't let go of. Now that her grandfather knows something, why doesn't she take the opportunity to do something for herself?
Chen Siyuan looked at her grandfather's pale face, her breathing becoming heavy.
"Grandpa, let's go together, okay?"
"Grandpa, don't push me away."
"Grandpa, tell me, what have you found out?"
The repeated calls of "Grandpa" seemed to resonate deep within Wen Tonghai's heart.
“Grandpa, we are family.” Chen Siyuan said, squatting down in front of Wen Tonghai, tilting her head slightly to look at her grandfather.
Wen Tonghai was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions from his beloved granddaughter.
He took a deep breath and barely managed to regain a sliver of his rationality.
"About your mother..." He took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "Never pursue it again, just forget about it!"
