Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that moment, Grandpa Qi was especially happy and affectionate when he saw Shuyan. Zhenbai hadn’t brought his granddaughter-in-law back to the Qi family recently, and Grandpa Qi had been worried that the two children had quarreled.
Seeing Shuyan come over to the Qi residence with a smile and call him “Grandpa” familiarly, the worry and uneasiness in Grandpa Qi’s heart disappeared.
The old man hurriedly waved with an incomparably affectionate expression for Zhenbai’s wife to come over.
Chi Shuyan walked up and called out intimately, “Grandpa!”
As she greeted him, she carefully observed the old man’s face. His complexion looked good and he appeared to be in good spirits; he didn’t look sick nor as weak as Qi Hao had said. Chi Shuyan was still worried, and grabbed the old man’s wrist and injected her spiritual energy into him to check. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, Chi Shuyan was much more relieved, and she relaxed. She stood on the other side and helped the old man into the main hall of the Qi residence.

Although the grandfather and granddaughter-in-law weren’t related by blood, they had a special affinity. After spending some time together, they were closer than an ordinary grandfather and grandchild. At that moment, Grandpa Qi’s kind eyes were fully focused on Shuyan, this granddaughter-in-law, and he had long forgotten about his grandson, Haozi.
The grandfather and granddaughter-in-law made small talk, and were even closer than Qi Hao and his grandfather.
Qi Hao pursed his lips and felt aggrieved.
However, he felt that there was no need to fight with Sister-in-law for his grandfather’s favor. She was so good to him; he wouldn’t dare fight with her.
Qi Hao didn’t plan to say much and took the initiative to support the old man, but the old man chased him away in disgust. “Go, go, go… just let Zhenbai’s wife support me!”
Qi Hao: …
Qi Hao wanted to complain about his grandfather being biased, but he saw that his grandfather’s attention was all on his sister-in-law. His smile was broad and bright. When they sat down in the living room, his grandfather still couldn’t bear to let go of his sister-in-law’s hand. He muttered under his breath and kept asking her why she hadn’t come to the Qi residence to see him recently. He also asked her how she and Zhenbai had been doing recently. He was especially attentive.
Qi Hao felt that his status as the biological grandson would never be able to compare with Sister-in-law’s status in the future.
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to lie to the old man, but she also couldn’t say that she had fallen out with Qi Zhenbai. She could only say that she and Qi Zhenbai had been doing fine recently. She also said that she hadn’t come to the Qi residence recently because she had been busy with her studies.
Grandpa Qi nodded. “Take good care of yourself. Don’t tire yourself out. Call me if you want to eat anything. I’ll get the housekeeper to send it to you.”
Chi Shuyan hurriedly waved her hand in refusal, indicating that it was too troublesome.
Grandpa Qi paid no attention to his granddaughter-in-law’s refusal, and just thought that she felt that it was an inconvenience, so he added, “We’re all family from now on. You can be polite with outsiders, but there’s no need to be polite with family. Zhenbai will probably be busy most of the time, but the two of you should empathize with each other. If Zhenbai really goes overboard, you can complain to me directly, and I’ll back you up!”
After listening to his grandfather, Qi Hao only felt cold in his heart. Why did he feel that his grandfather liked Sister-in-law the most now? His and his cousin’s positions had long been blown away to some cold place. What should he do?
Chi Shuyan was amused and touched by the old man’s words. She placed a pouch of tea leaves on the table and said, “Grandpa, this tea is good for your health. When you’re tired, have a cup!”
Grandpa Qi was overjoyed that his granddaughter-in-law had brought him a gift. As the saying went, it wasn’t the gift that counted, but the thought behind it. Although it didn’t look like some renowned tea brand from the packaging, Grandpa Qi was overjoyed. He made up his mind to drink the tea which Zhenbai’s wife had given him from today onward.
Grandpa Qi finally let go of her hand with a loving smile and nodded. “Okay, I’ll try the tea my granddaughter-in-law brought me later!”
Grandpa Qi had a lot to say to Zhenbai’s wife, but it wasn’t long before Qi Hao became twitchy. Not long after, his phone rang and he picked up the call. After he hung up, he saw that his sister-in-law was still patiently sitting on the couch and talking to his grandfather.
They could probably talk all the way into the evening, but his sister-in-law was in a hurry!
Qi Hao couldn’t help but want to tell his grandfather that his sister-in-law wasn’t free, when the Qi family butler suddenly came in and said that Old Master Zhou, Zhu Bocheng’s grandfather, was here. Grandpa Qi got along well with Old Master Zhou, so he immediately had someone invite him in, and also wanted the latter to get to know Zhenbai’s wife more.
On the other hand, Qi Hao took advantage of this moment to hurriedly make an excuse for his sister-in-law. “Grandpa, Sister-in-law came to see me today on official business. We’re busy. Have a good chat with Old Master Zhou!”
Grandpa Qi didn’t take Qi Hao’s words seriously at all, but Chi Shuyan also looked at the time. Afraid that there wasn’t enough time, she took the initiative to say, “Grandpa, I do have something to do with Haozi. I’ll come to the Qi residence more often to see you in the future!”
Grandpa Qi beamed and waved his hand happily. “Go! Go! But stay for dinner tonight. I haven’t seen you in a while. Zhenbai’s parents miss you too!”
Chi Shuyan wanted to say something, but Grandpa Qi had already gotten up to welcome Old Master Zhou.
Chi Shuyan could only give up and follow Qi Hao upstairs.
Qi Hao hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, go to my room! There’s someone waiting there already!”
