Chapter 848: Chapter 847: Grandson Chapter 848: Chapter 847: Grandson “What, what, what… what did you say?” Zuo Han almost choked on his own saliva.
A few of his old comrades who came with him were also surprised and gathered around, bombarding him with questions.
“Old Zuo, you have a grandson?”
“I must say you’ve kept this very well-hidden! To think you have a grandson and none of us comrades knew anything about it!”
“You have your own grandson, so why does it bother you every time you see mine unable to walk?”
Zuo Han wiped the sweat that had burst forth frantically, a face full of injustice, “Don’t talk nonsense, Xin Yao’s wife doesn’t even exist, how could he possibly have a son?” He was almost dying of worry, seeing Xin Yao mingling with that prodigal son of the Huo Family.
He greatly feared that one day his son would lose hope and settle for a life with Huo Kewei, what then?
Besides, his son’s looks were considered top-notch even in the entire Imperial City, and countless girls secretly admired him. But over the years, he hadn’t seen him getting close to any girl.
Frankly speaking, Zuo Han was really worried his son might start liking men, which he heard was quite popular abroad now.
“Uncle, why would I lie to you? It’s true.” Huo Beijiang then leaned in and whispered an explanation.
Zuo Han listened, his eyes growing wider and wider, until finally he exclaimed both shocked and delighted, “Is it really true? That’s wonderful…” He had only just finished speaking when he remembered what Huo Beijiang had mentioned, that one of the beaten kids was his own grandson, and his face immediately darkened.
Zuo Han gave Wei Fangyi a chilling glare and scolded unhappily, “Let me tell you, Fang Yi, you’d better control that troublesome wife of yours in the future. Otherwise, I won’t let it go easily.”
Oh… The thought that the little boy beaten by Tang Qian was his own grandson pained him deeply.
Wei Fangyi forced a smile, “Yes, I will.”
“Hmph! We’re leaving now, and when Wei Qin wakes up, remember to call and let us know.” After saying this, Zuo Han turned and left, and the few old comrades who had come with him also bid farewell to Wei Fangyi and followed Zuo Han out.
They had mainly been keeping vigil here over the past couple of days, but they also had many matters to handle and couldn’t keep watching endlessly.
Moreover, Wei Qin’s condition… was not looking good at all.
Wei Fangyi glanced at Huo Beijiang, knowing well the young man was vengeful but had not expected him to seek revenge so swiftly. He stood up and spoke politely to the people in the corridor, suggesting they go home and wait for news instead of staying continuously at the hospital.
Despite his inner pain, he could not simply collapse.
He still had to wait for Wei Qin to wake up, he still needed to properly make amends.
“Dongxin, you should take Wei An home too! There’s no need to keep staying at the hospital. Wei An still has school, and you have many things to take care of yourself.” Wei Fangyi knew better than anyone that even if Wei Qin was gone, the world would still keep turning.
People would still do what they had to do. In the end, the only one truly suffering would be just him, an old father.
“Uncle, let me stay!” Dongxin wouldn’t miss an opportunity to prove herself.
“There’s no need, keeping so many people here is useless.” It was more like staying to watch a joke.
Wei Fangyi’s brows furrowed deeply, the more he looked at his niece, the more uneasy he felt. Being an experienced observer of people and seldom mistaken in judging human nature, he had had little contact with his niece due to his busy work schedule in the past; these recent days had significantly altered his feelings of dissatisfaction towards her.
