Chapter 551 Zhou Sihai Passes Away Entrusting His Orphan
Disappointment flashed across Zhou Sihai's eyes, but he quickly replaced it with an excited expression. He exclaimed, "Wow! It was the right choice to invite you here today, Kong girl! This old man is in for a treat!"
The others at the table exchanged glances but remained silent.
Kong Wange thought for a moment and looked at Zhou Sihai: "Uncle Zhou, shall I take your pulse?"
Zhou Sihai waved his hand: "Don't waste your energy. I know my own body. Let me tell you, no one is allowed to give me a long face today. I don't like seeing that, understand?"
Kong Wange pursed her lips, wanting to say something more, but Qin Feng spoke up: "I believe Old Zhou knows what he's doing. It's rare for us to get together today, so let's not be unhappy and eat first."
Zhou Sihai nodded: "Hey, Xiao Fengfeng really understands me. Come on, let me taste Kong Yatou's cooking and see if it has gotten worse!"
As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of pickled fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment: "Hey, not bad, not bad, sour, spicy and numbing, the fish is fresh and tender, delicious, delicious!"
Seeing how happily the old man was eating, the others looked at each other, relaxed, and started eating as well.
Shen Li was eating Kong Wange's cooking for the first time and was amazed. She praised Kong Wange, saying that the dish should only exist in heaven and that it was a rare treat in the mortal world.
They only quieted down after Qin Feng glared at them.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Sihai put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at the others: "Hey, this old man had a really good meal!"
Seeing his expression, everyone knew he had something to say, and they all put down their chopsticks.
Zhou Sihai sighed and said, "I'm quite content with my life. I've been to all the places I wanted to go when I was young, and I've experienced everything I was meant to experience. I've also made considerable achievements in poisons. Everyone in the underworld has heard of the name Poison Doctor Zhou Sihai. I guess I haven't lived in vain."
“From the moment I chose to become a poison doctor, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. I am already very content to have lived this long, so there is nothing I can’t let go of. The only thing I’m not sure about is my granddaughter.”
Zhou Qiao's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Grandpa, I've grown up now, you don't need to worry about me."
Zhou Sihai chuckled and said, "You've never liked studying medicine since you were little. I know that, and I've never forced you to do anything. I just want you to grow up safe and healthy, find a reliable man, and live a simple and happy life."
"It's a pity I won't live to see that day, and your parents, my heartless son and daughter-in-law, are just too unreliable!"
The old man snorted as he spoke: "After you were born, they didn't care about you at all. They went off to travel and have fun, leaving you to me to take care of. Later, when you grew up, they forced you to study medicine. Ha, they said you should study medicine, but don't I know what they were thinking? To put it bluntly, they just didn't want you to disturb their time together at home, so they forced you to come here with me!"
Kong Wange was surprised to hear this. She thought Zhou Qiao had grown up being pampered by her parents. So, her parents... were actually this kind of people?
Zhou Sihai sighed: "I'm nearing the end of my life. I originally wanted to call them back for one last meeting, but these two are really something else. I can't get through to either of them on the phone. I don't know if they've run off to the South Pole or the North Pole again."
"Ha, they are true love, Qiao'er is an accident. They are such unreliable people. I am extremely worried about entrusting Qiao'er to them."
Zhou Qiao sniffed: "Grandpa, I told you I'm all grown up now, I can really take care of myself."
Zhou Sihai affectionately patted Zhou Qiao's head and said to Kong Wange, "Kong girl, I can see that you are no ordinary person. You are capable. Considering that I helped you identify the poison before, I hope that you can take care of my granddaughter after I am gone."
Kong Wange glanced at Zhou Qiao, who was sobbing softly with her head down, then turned to Zhou Sihai and said solemnly, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I've always treated Qiao'er like my own sister, and I will definitely take good care of her..."
"Let her come with me."
Before Kong Wange could finish speaking, Qin Feng suddenly spoke up.
Not only was Zhou Sihai stunned, but everyone else at the table was also stunned, and Zhou Qiao looked at the man who had just spoken in disbelief.
She must have misheard.
He wants me to... go with him?!
Shen Li reacted the fastest, quickly tugging at Qin Feng's sleeve and lowering her voice: "Brother Feng, do you know what you're saying?"
Qin Feng ignored Shen Li and instead looked at Kong Wange and said, "I have heard about Miss Kong's current situation recently. You are now walking on thin ice in the Wen family. I'm afraid you are too busy taking care of yourself to have the energy to take care of others."
After saying that, he turned to Zhou Sihai and said, "Old Zhou, you know about the development of the Shadow Gate in recent years. We have been friends for so many years, and I am grateful to you for curing my poison before. I have no way to repay you, so it is only right for me to take care of your granddaughter."
“If Zhou Qiao comes with me, firstly, she can learn some martial arts to improve her health, and secondly, with the Shadow Sect’s reputation, absolutely no one will dare to cause her trouble.”
After saying this, Zhou Qiao looked terrified and said, "Grandpa, I'll stay here and not go anywhere. I know everyone at the Imperial Academy, no one will bully me!"
After listening to Zhou Qiao's words, Zhou Sihai sighed: "Qiao'er, after Grandpa leaves, there will definitely be a new person to take over Baicaotang, and the courtyard may not agree to let you continue to stay here."
Qin Feng replied, "That's right, Miss Zhou Qiao, don't worry, the people of the Shadow Sect all obey my commands, no one will bully you."
Zhou Qiao secretly grumbled to herself: "It's precisely because I obey your orders that I'm afraid! If I really enter the Shadow Gate, then I'll be left with no one to turn to for help."
She immediately grabbed Zhou Sihai's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa, I don't want to go."
Zhou Sihai, however, remained thoughtful and was not swayed by Zhou Qiao's coquettish advances. After a while, he made a decision: "In that case, I'll trouble Xiao Fengfeng. We've been friends for over ten years, and I trust your character. I'll leave Qiao'er in your care from now on. I hope you can help this old man find a good home for my granddaughter!"
"Don't worry," Qin Feng said with a smile, "I will definitely help Miss Zhou Qiao find a suitable husband. As long as my Shadow Sect has food to eat, she won't go hungry."
Hearing the two decide where she was going in just a few words, Zhou Qiao became anxious and turned to Kong Wange for help: "Sister Wange, please say a word for me!"
Kong Wange has a lot of things to do, such as her clinic, her child, and investigating murder. She can help out a little, but she can't take care of Zhou Qiao like Qin Feng does. Although she doesn't talk to Qin Feng much, she inexplicably feels that this man is not a bad person.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Qiao's plea for help, she said with a sheepish look, "Qiao'er, I think Master Qin's suggestion is not impossible. In this way, your grandfather can rest assured."
