Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Grandpa Can Do Anything for You! Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Grandpa Can Do Anything for You! Farewell ceremonies were quite common, and Pei Jue’s movements were elegant and appropriate, always composed. However, Qingwu always felt that the back of her hand grew a little hot along with it.
“Why are you picking me up?”
“Aren’t you visiting your grandparents? I’ve already prepared the gifts.”
Elder Zuo had indeed invited her to the Zuo Family for dinner the next day, and since the Shen Family parents had argued today and returned home, she planned to go with Shen Shushan then.
Shen Boyi had gone abroad for business, Shen Zhongshuang had a surgery and would return in the evening, Shen Jishi was in court, leaving only Shen Shushan who had just returned home after wrapping up his movie.
“Isn’t the fiancée planning to take me along? Grandfather did invite me as well.”
When did her grandfather invite him?
If her grandmother managed to come home from the lab, it indeed owed much to Pei Jue’s efforts. Moreover, the two families had always been acquainted, so it would indeed be inappropriate not to let him come.
“All right, I’ll wait for you.”
Pei Jue affectionately tapped her perky little nose, “Good girl.”
Pei Clan still had plenty of business to attend to, so after reminding Qingwu of a few things, he left the hospital.
As soon as Pei Jue left, Lin Jingsheng sneaked into the ward, avoiding Major Gou who was patrolling outside.
“Xiao Wu, you must help your father! Your mother was hit by someone and hasn’t woken up. Since you’re Chief Shen’s caregiver, say a few good words for us, let the Shen Family help us out!”
“Our family hasn’t done anything wrong to you. It wasn’t easy raising you. All these years we’ve given you everything you wanted. You can’t just burn bridges like this!”
Qingwu curled her lips in a mocking smile.
“When I was in school, Grandma asked you for money, and you said girls didn’t need to study much. It was Grandma who secretly picked up trash and sent me to school.”
Lin Jingsheng looked a bit awkward!
This was when Qingwu was four or five years old. How did this annoying girl remember it so clearly!
“At that time, our family had no money. Your mother and I scrimped and saved outside, there truly wasn’t any money to send you to school…”
Qingwu smiled.
Back then, Lin Xuecheng was attending a private kindergarten that cost five thousand a month thanks to Lin Jingsheng’s money!
And as for her, she had to rely on Grandma Lin secretly collecting bottles, saving money to send her to school.
Lin Jingsheng wanted to do business, taking away all of Grandma Lin’s savings, not even leaving school money for Qingwu.
“When I was in middle school, it was also Grandma who provided the living and tuition fees. You thought five hundred a month was too much and told me to eat less. You weren’t poor then.”
At that time, Lin Jingsheng had already bought a villa, and the whole family moved to Ning City.
“I wasn’t wrong, Xiao Wu. Girls who have too much money are bound to go astray. Dad did it for your own good, five hundred was enough to fill you up. Back then, Dad only spent three hundred a month on meals!”
“Mr. Lin, at that time, you and your wife were eating bird’s nest that cost three thousand, one bowl a day.”
Lin Jingsheng: “…”
This annoying girl! What was the point of remembering all these trivial things so clearly? Even he couldn’t remember those insignificant matters…
This girl was heartless, remembering worthless things. Why didn’t she ever mention the good things they did for her?
Besides, if they’d truly mistreated Qingwu, could she have grown so tall and beautiful?
“Dad did this for your own sake, worried that if you ate too much, it would stretch your stomach, making it hard for you to slim down and look good when you grew up. Look at how great you look now!”
“Dad raised you for so many years. Even if there was no merit, there was hard work, Xiao Wu. Your grandmother is also from the Lin Family. Her kindness to you was our kindness to you too!”
“You should take some time to speak well of us to Chief Shen, let him support us. It’ll only benefit you once our family prospers!”
The ward door was pushed open, and Elder Shen, with a face of iron, was pushed in by Shen Shushan, who wore a similarly dark expression, wishing he could kill Lin Jingsheng on the spot!
Elder Shen had always thought the Lin Family had raised Qingwu, and no matter what, they were her benefactors. But now, they found out that Qingwu’s past life was even worse than what their investigation revealed.
Who was so poor that the child couldn’t even fill her stomach!
The only daughter of their Shen Family had to rely on an old lady picking up trash to fund her education, how heartbreaking!
“Shen… Chief Shen, I’m Qingwu’s father. I came here to…”
Elder Shen gripped the wheelchair’s armrest tightly, unwilling to make a scene in front of his granddaughter towards this shameless person, and gritted his teeth, “Get out!”
Faced with the murderous Elder Shen, Lin Jingsheng couldn’t utter a word and was carried out of the ward by Major Gou.
Elder Shen had tears in his eyes, and he beckoned Qingwu over.
“Child, come here.”
“Grandpa, I’m fine.”
Elder Shen held Qingwu’s hand, full of heartache and sorrow.
“Xiao Wu, if you want us to deal with their family, just say the word. Grandpa will do anything for you!”
Qingwu shook her head, “There’s no need to dirty our hands for unworthy people, Grandpa. I already have a family now; the past doesn’t matter anymore.”
Elder Shen’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he turned away to wipe them.
He couldn’t speak, only patting his granddaughter’s tender hand heavily.
“Good kid, you’re breaking your grandpa’s heart!”
“From now on, you’re only a part of the Shen Family. Your elder brother said he’d move that old lady’s grave, and the Shen Family will commemorate her. Even if it’s moving her to the Shen Family’s ancestral grave, grandpa agrees!”
If not for Madam Lin’s care, such a great granddaughter might not have been seen by him.
If Madam Lin didn’t mind, the Shen Family’s ancestral grave was the best place for eternal rest!
“No need, Grandpa. Grandma Lin would likely prefer to stay at her own home. I’ve arranged for brother to place her in the ancestral home; we’ve bought the ancestral home too.”
Shen Shushan stepped forward, embraced Qingwu, and gently patted her back.
“Sister, whenever you feel wronged, be sure to tell your brothers. If that person bothers you again, come find me.”
“Got it, third brother.”
Shen Shushan held Qingwu tightly, pressing his face against her shoulder. The damp touch surprised Qingwu slightly.
Was her third brother… crying?
Shen Shushan’s voice was a little shaky.
“We’re sorry for not protecting you better. You clearly have come back, yet such scum managed to disturb you. It won’t happen again!”
What did this have to do with the Shen Family? It was Lin Jingsheng who sneaked in. The Lin Family had always been shameless, and the Shen Family, thinking they were Qingwu’s previous family, hadn’t been harsh.
The Shen Family was reasonable, while the Lin Family was shameless. Guarding against Lin Jingsheng wasn’t easy.
Qingwu patted Shen Shushan’s shoulder, comforting her brother in turn.
“I’m fine. I don’t care about the Lin Family. Don’t worry about me.”
Elder Shen watched the embraced siblings, curled his little finger, and Major Gou bent down, leaning close to his side.
“Arrange a team to protect the young miss constantly, keep those people off her once they approach, and expel them directly. You may take action if necessary, regardless of consequences.”
These words, “regardless of consequences,” showed how truly angry the Elder was!
“Yes! We’ll certainly protect the young miss!”
