Chapter 298: Chapter 299: The Moment of Departure
He furrowed his brows, “I know, your health is the most important thing right now. We can talk about the wedding later.”
However, Qin Guozhong had other plans.
“The wedding must be announced tonight!”
His resolute attitude naturally brought joy to Nangong He and Nangong Feifei, but they were concerned about how Qin Sijue would react.
What if being stubborn about it had the opposite effect?
With this in mind, Nangong He looked at Qin Guozhong with some worry, “But regarding Sijue…”
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Since he was able to handle his eldest grandson, he was sure he could handle the younger one too!
After glancing at Nangong He, Qin Guozhong sighed, “Old He, you go ahead to the banquet hall. I want to rest for a bit.”
Nangong He stood up, concerned about his old comrade’s health, “Alright then, rest up. Later, let the doctor give you a thorough check-up. We’re not as young as we used to be and can’t handle any sort of strain.”
Qin Guozhong nodded, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
The reason he sent away the grandfather and grandson was that there were things he did not want to say in front of them to his wife.
After giving him another look, Nangong He finally turned to leave.
Before she left, to maintain an image of the perfect, understanding granddaughter-in-law for the elder of the Qin Family, Nangong Feifei also spoke up, “Grandpa Qin, please take good care of yourself. I will come and see you later.”
Qin Guozhong nodded; he thought Feifei was quite good—obedient, sensible, and gently proper. Why couldn’t she catch the eye of that boy?
As the two figures disappeared at the doorway, the elderly Madame Qin then helped Qin Guozhong to his feet, “Let me help you upstairs to lie down for a while.”
Qin Guozhong well knew that his wife was concerned about him.
Just now, he might have exaggerated a bit. His chest had been tight, the anger caused by that unruly boy seemed to have gotten really stuck, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
As for his heart, there weren’t any problems at the moment, quite healthy indeed!
“I’m fine, I just wanted to scare the boy a bit. Who knew he wouldn’t even bat an eye, completely indifferent to his grandfather’s life and death.”
Thinking back to Qin Sijue’s unmoved demeanor, Qin Guozhong felt very frustrated.
After all, he was his dearly beloved grandfather, wasn’t he?
Upon hearing this, Madame Qin was taken aback, looking at him incredulously, “You were pretending just now?”
Seeing her expression darken, Qin Guozhong realized that his wife was on their grandson’s side, so he had to stick to his earlier stance!
“No… I mean…” At a loss for words, unsure how to defend his actions and afraid of angering his wife even more, Qin Guozhong ultimately resorted to a trick!
Seeing this, the old lady’s complexion changed with fright, “What’s wrong with you!?”
“Help me upstairs to rest.”
“Alright, alright, get upstairs and lie down. Don’t scare me.”
With that, the old couple made their way towards the second floor together.
All the while, Gu Qiangwei, who had been hiding in the corridor, heard their footsteps approaching the stairs and hurriedly retreated to the master bedroom.
Meanwhile, Qin Guozhong and his wife went to the guest room.
Only when the hallway was quiet did Gu Qiangwei carefully push open the door and step out again.
She checked the living room; there was no one in sight, so now was the best time for her to leave!
With that thought, Gu Qiangwei moved as quickly as possible downstairs, aiming to sprint straight to the vestibule.
