“Rascal, I hear you’ve been telling everyone that I’m dying?”
Yi Juncheng’s expression didn’t change. “Grandpa, I just told Uncle and Aunt that you’re old and your legs aren’t working very well. I didn’t say anything else. I can’t say anything about how Uncle and Aunt choose to understand my words.”
Yi Yun was furious. This was indeed something his grandson would do.
When Sheng Yang was on vacation a while ago, Kang Weizhen and Sheng You had talked for a while. The young couple’s relationship was quite stable, but they just wanted to keep their daughter by their sides for a while longer. They didn’t want to marry their daughter off so early, so they wanted to get some information from Yi Juncheng.
After sending Yangyang away, the two of them came to look for Yi Juncheng. Yi Juncheng instantly understood. He stopped crossing his legs and sat obediently, making his long legs look even straighter.
They beat about the bush, so Yi Juncheng went straight to the point. “To be honest, Uncle and Aunt, my grandfather is old and not particularly healthy. His only wish is to see me get married. If he can see his great-grandson born, he’ll feel that it’s a gift from the heavens.”
Yi Juncheng’s words weren’t wrong. In fact, his grandfather was very light on his feet and didn’t need a walking cane at all, but he always prepared a walking cane for himself. When something happened, he could act pitiful. This was what he had seen from his grandfather since he was young.
Every time those relatives said that he was too young to take on important responsibilities and wanted his grandfather to stand up and take charge of the situation, his grandfather would pretend to be sick and miserable. This was also the persona his grandfather had always had in front of everyone.
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You looked at each other. Yes, they only knew that Yi Juncheng’s parents had died. This child had been miserable since he was young. They had forgotten about his grandfather.
It wasn’t easy for the old man either. He had to bid farewell to his son earlier on. Now, he was only left with a grandson. Sigh…
Although Kang Weizhen’s heart softened, her tone didn’t. After all, this concerned her beloved daughter’s life.
She didn’t even have to worry about her second son. It didn’t matter to her if her eldest son and third son got married or not. She only had to plan for Yangyang.
“Ahem, Juncheng, I know you’re a good kid, but Yangyang is still young.”
“I understand.” Yi Juncheng lowered his head. “I’ll talk to Grandpa. Grandpa has always been urging me. In fact, I’ve never said anything. I didn’t even let him know about Yangyang. I was afraid he’d come looking for her.”
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You were stunned. They didn’t expect this child to be so considerate of Yangyang. What else was there to say?
“Um… Juncheng, we understand. You and Yangyang can make the decision on this matter. It’s just that she has to at least graduate from university first, do you understand?”
“Understood.”
After Yi Juncheng hung up, Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you afraid that your grandfather will be angry?”
Yi Juncheng’s lips curved. “First, I’m telling the truth. Second, don’t worry. Not only will my grandfather not be angry, but…”
With that, Yi Juncheng smiled playfully. Sheng Yang didn’t understand, but she had always felt that their family was strange. She wasn’t sure about Yi Juncheng’s grandfather.
Yi Yun was still at the Sheng family’s house. After putting away his phone, his expression changed. He instantly picked up his walking cane and walked slowly toward the living room.
Kang Weizhen hurried over to help him.
“No need, no need…” Yi Yun chuckled, his tone somewhat helpless. “Humans, the older they get, the more useless they become.”
After sitting down, he felt another wave of emotions. “A few years ago, I could walk a dozen steps before having to rest for a while. Now…”
