100. Chapter 100

One more

Ruan Wan knew that Shen Ziyu was "sick", which was the next day. It is said that the situation is quite strict, and he was directly sent to the hospital overnight. She was very surprised when she found out, and later heard that he was "fighting again", and she was speechless and a little weak-although she didn't fight people, but Shen Ziyu's reason was ...... Well, it must have something to do with her.

On the phone, Qiao Xinyuan also asked Ruan Wan, "Do you know who Brother Ziyu is fighting with?", which the latter naturally didn't know. No one thinks that this matter has anything to do with Ruan Wan, after all, she doesn't look like a master who can fight and defeat Shen Ershao.

After hanging up Qiao's wishful call, Ruan Wan received a call from her grandmother.

When Ruan Wan "condemned" her for leaving herself alone to play happily, her grandmother replied eloquently, "You are a little unconscionable outside, poor my old man is alone at home, what's wrong with coming out to play and relaxing?", which made Ruan Wan speechless. Well, she just said it casually, and it turned out to be "little conscienceless" again!

However, my grandmother was happy, and she was really happy.

Originally, curing a disease is a matter of "enduring hardship", and relaxing your mind can also be a good way to relieve your mood. Not to mention, her grandmother is running between her hometown and the place of treatment alone, and she is also worried that it is too miserable to live in the place of treatment for a long time, and it is really good to be able to "travel around" like now. Not to mention that there is also an uncle and grandfather to take care of, cough, although this old man has always had a clumsy taste in buying her clothes and shoes, he is still very reliable in other aspects. Not to mention, since the boss grandmother teamed up, the clothes that her uncle and grandfather gave her during the New Year's holidays can be described as "great"!

"The dresses worn by the ethnic minority girls here are quite chic, I bought you a few and mailed them in a few days. Grandma said on the phone, "There are also silver jewelry, there is an old gold and silver shop with good craftsmanship, and I have also given you a few small hairpins and hairpins, and you can wear them to play with when the time comes." โ€

Ruan Wan was happy and broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she couldn't help reminding: "Grandma, you spend money...... You still have to know by heart. "Grandma is good at everything, but this hand is too loose. If you don't care about it a little, it's just a lot of spilling it out, it's all a bad problem left over from being a young lady! Criticism! You must be criticized! But every time she says this, she will be despised by her for being "stingy", which is really worrying.

"Look at your stinginess. โ€

Ruan Wan: "......" ==, look at it and be despised again.

"Besides, even if I really spend all the money, you dare not support me?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ That must not dare. Ruan Wan wiped her sweat, even if she smashed the pot and sold iron, she still had to support this old man.

"That's it. My grandmother said proudly, "That's what I call 'the family has surplus food, and I don't panic'." โ€

Ruan Wan sweated even more: "So I'm the 'surplus grain'?"

"yes. Grandma replied in a tone that was justified.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"What? Am I not right?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ You're right, very right. โ€

Ruan Wan is also helpless, I haven't seen her for a while, how can I feel that my grandmother's tsundere symptoms are getting stricter and stricter. However, as the old saying goes, if the old man is happy, she will cooperate even if she is in tears!

"It's starting to get a little cold over there. โ€

"Well, yes. Compared with her grandmother, who is now warming the south, Ruan Wan is indeed "a dog living in the north wind"!

"Now that the weather has changed, you have to ...... too"

Ruan Wan smoothly connected: "I will pay attention to my body." โ€

"I'm starting to buy clothes for this season. โ€

Ruan Wan: "......" == Can you still chat happily!

"Buy something thicker. Grandma's laughter rang out, "Don't turn yourself into a snot dragon for the sake of demeanor and temperature." โ€

Ruan Wan wanted to make an angry expression, but she couldn't help laughing.

"Grandma, you too, it's time to go for a follow-up appointment in another week, don't forget to add clothes. โ€

"Don't worry, you can't forget. How's it going?"

"I'm fine, it's just ......" Ruan Wan paused, and still told her grandmother about Old Man Qiao's admission to the hospital, she wasn't sure if she was delusional, but she always felt ...... Grandma and Old Man Qiao seem to know each other, not because of their mother, but because of something else earlier.

As for the reason for Old Man Qiao's hospitalization, Ruan Wan had heard about it from Qiao's wish before.

To put it simply, William made a big deal this time, as if he had fallen into a huge scam. According to his own account, he accidentally believed a group of scammers who claimed to come to the mainland to invest, and under their rhetoric, William pulled the banner of Old Man Qiao and successfully attracted many people to join the gang, and they were ready to do a big job. Then, the other party donated money and ran away, and he was also dumbfounded. Coincidentally, before he could react, the matter leaked, and those who were deceived naturally came to the door one by one to get their money back, and threatened to send William to prison.

Of course, this is only one side of William's words.

At the end of the day, the leak of the scam after that was an accident, that is, it was unexpected.

So whether he was really "deceived" or was himself "one of the crooks" is open to debate. After all, he himself is a "crooked nut", and it is ...... to say that he himself was deceived by a group of "crooked nuts from the same country Most people really don't believe it.

But two things are for sure -

One, he was planted this time, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to;

Second, Qiao Shuqi believed him, quite a letter.

She also has reason to believe.

First, they have been "very affectionate" over the years, and William can be said to be responsive to her needs, and she is simply pampered in the palm of her hand, she naturally will not believe that he will leave her donation and run away;

Second, when William first met her, he said that he was a "rich businessman" at best, and an ordinary businessman if he didn't say it well. To put it mildly, as long as Old Man Qiao is still there and the Qiao family does not fall, William's business will get better and better day by day, not to mention that he has not encountered any economic crisis now, there is really no reason to run away with money!

From an objective point of view, Qiao Shuqi's analysis is actually still tenable.

It's just that Old Man Qiao can't see the problem from the same angle as her.

William's crime this time is really not a trivial matter, not to mention that he also borrowed the name of Old Man Qiao in the process of committing the crime, and made the latter a mess. If it weren't for the prestige, it is estimated that someone would come to the door to ask for debts.

Old Man Qiao's face darkened when he knew about this, but at this point in him, he obviously couldn't make a final judgment because of a momentary emotion. Not to mention, this matter is indeed very tricky. It is said that "old and immortal are called thieves", and the old man Qiao keenly discovered that there was a "pusher" behind this matter, at this time, no matter what he did, it was wrong, and it was the best way to respond to all changes without change.

As long as he doesn't move, the worst outcome of this matter will be William's imprisonment at best, and then again, this kid should indeed go in and teach a long lesson, lest his courage become fatter day by day, and if he doesn't relent, he will simply go to heaven. Besides, he didn't let him really stay in prison for the rest of his life, and when some people don't focus on this matter, there is still room for maneuver.

But he can calm down, but Qiao Shuqi can't.

As a wife, she could not have watched William go to prison, and as a daughter, she could not understand her father's inaction.

So she decided to do it herself!

But I don't know what to do, so let's put it this way, she was raised by her parents when she was young, and after she got married, she was raised by her husband, and the whole person is almost in a state of semi-waste.

After thinking about it, she came up with a very "real" way - to help William pay back the money.

She must have no money herself, she usually swipes William's card, and now William herself is difficult to protect, so she is naturally scratched off. What should I do when I don't have any money? Find my father! But where can Old Man Qiao get so much money, to put it mildly, even if he has a little money in his hand that is not very good, he will definitely not be able to fill that big hole. And it's obviously impossible for Old Man Qiao to really do such a thing, it's just a brain pump!

When Qiao Shuqi's plea was unsuccessful, resentment secretly arose in his heart.

Old Man Qiao knew this, but he was helpless, after all, he not only had such a daughter, but also his sons, grandchildren, and daughters. But he didn't expect that Qiao Shuqi was so bold that he really hit him with the idea.

"I heard that she stole something from Grandpa Joe's study safe. Ruan Wan said to her grandmother, "I don't know what it is, and it's not easy to ask." โ€

"One thing?" asked Grandma rhetorically, "One is enough to pay off the debt?"

"I don't know. Ruan Wan shook her head, "Maybe there is something else hidden in it." Anyway, Grandpa Qiao was so angry that he hasn't woken up yet. โ€

"Hmph, that's what happens to that old thing who doesn't discipline his children well. Grandma complained, and then said with some interest, "But I'm not qualified to say anything about him." โ€

When Ruan Wan heard that her grandmother was lost, she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Grandma, of course you are qualified, you still have me!

"Yo, you're really good at putting gold on your face. "Grandma was happy.

"Hey, hey. โ€

After that, the grandfather and grandson chatted a few more words, and Ruan Wan reluctantly hung up the phone. Although the calls are frequent, whenever she hangs up, she can still feel a strong sense of nostalgia. After only three or four months of leaving, she had already begun to miss the old house with osmanthus trees, the river with leaves and fallen flowers all year round, and the long and lively street...... and, those old people who will affectionately call her "Xiaowan".

Two more

Ruan Wan told her grandmother about the Qiao family, but she just said it casually, anyway, her grandmother was strict-mouthed, and even if she knew, she would never talk nonsense. Moreover, in the final analysis, this matter has little to do with their grandparents. What she didn't expect was that her mysterious and powerful boss, Grandma, actually knew a little bit about โ–กโ–ก. Before hanging up the phone, tell her that she may receive a package these days, let her take it to Old Man Qiao after receiving it.

So grandma is really hateful, knowing that she is curious to die, but she refuses to show a little bit of her mouth!

Poor Ruan Wan was so heart-scratching in her heart that she was so helpless that she was about to faint in the toilet!

To say that grandma's speed is really fast, soon, Ruan Wan really received an urgent courier. In addition to those clothes, jewelry, specialty snacks, there is also a small metal box inside, which seems to be silver in texture, because it no longer looks bright because of the years, but it has more texture.

Ruan Wan didn't open the box to look, because she was a noble, great, heroic and tenacious person...... It's strange! Actually, it's because the box has a lock! It's a small jade lock that looks very fragile, and she doesn't dare to toss it hard, for fear that it will be shattered to the ground. After looking at the light a few times, she finally gave up helplessly, so let's pester her grandmother to inquire after the holiday!

She put it in a drawer and looked at something else.

Grandma really deserves to be a grandmother, and the things sent are for four people.

Ruan Wan took them and distributed them around, and sure enough, everyone has a share and will never be disappointed. How else to say that grandma is a big devil, but I usually listen to her say a few words when chatting, and the things sent are actually very suitable, whether it is size or style.

Qian Qianmei put on a dress with ethnic customs sent by her grandmother, stood in front of the mirror and turned around a few times, and said happily: "I like this skirt!"

Xia Pujia happily put a pair of cloth tigers on the bookcase and set them up.

Mo Bei picked up the small silver scimitar pendant, and his expression was quite satisfied.

Gift-giving is about giving a favor, and grandma knows this well. Therefore, Ruan Wan couldn't help but be even more curious, what was in that box? Maybe God couldn't bear to let her entangle for too long-soon, she learned the news, Old Man Qiao woke up.

As a junior, she naturally wanted to visit after learning the news.

It happened that there was no class that afternoon, so Ruan Wan went to the hospital and bought a fruit basket before entering the hospital. It's not expensive, but it's suitable. Originally, she was still a poor student who had not yet entered the society, and she really dragged a bunch of supplements to slap her swollen face and become fat.

When she arrived, she happened to see Qiao Jingwei coming out of the ward and whispering something to the guard standing at the door.

"Uncle Joe. Ruan Wan paused and shouted.

"Hmm. Qiao Jingwei bowed slightly to Ruan Wan, "Come and see the old man?"

"Yes. โ€

"Let's go inside. Qiao Jingwei paused and added, "The old man is not in a good mood now, you should pay attention." โ€

"......" Ruan Wan glanced at Qiao Jingwei with some surprise, surprised by his "reminder", but she didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that she knew.

When she walked into the ward, she found that Su Fanghua and Qiao Yi were inside.

Old Man Qiao sat on the hospital bed, hanging water with one hand, and waving the other: "Go away, go away! I won't eat these, let's go!"

What made Ruan Wan breathe a sigh of relief was that Old Man Qiao's voice sounded full of energy, without the common feeling of weakness that elderly patients often have, and it seemed that there was really no big problem with his body. It is...... I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that this old man's gray hair is a little more, and there is a little frustration between his eyebrows and eyes.

Qiao Yi, who was standing by the hospital bed with a bowl, coaxed with a wry smile on his face: "Just eat a little, Mother Wu has been staying up for a long time." โ€

"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!" Old Man Qiao turned his head and said to Su Fanghua, "Fanghua, clean up these things for me, I feel bad when I smell them!"

Su Fanghua also persuaded: "Dad, just eat a little." โ€

"No one listens to what I say, right?" Old Man Qiao glared, slapped the edge of the bed with his hand that did not hang water, and said angrily, "If you do this again, you will all get out of here!"

Qiao Yi: "......"

Su Fanghua: "......"

The two glanced at each other, also helpless.

In the end, Su Fanghua still packed up the tonic soup sent and prepared to take it out.

"Little girl is here?" Old Man Qiao's gaze fell on Ruan Wan.

He especially likes to use the title "little girl" to call Ruan Wan, who is also used to it.

"Well, come and see you. Ruan Wan stepped forward with a smile, put the fruit basket in her hand on the ground that was full of various fruit basket supplements on the side, and said, "You always look good." โ€

"Listen. Old Man Qiao turned his head and glared at Qiao Yi, "The little girl can see that I have a good complexion, you don't have to drink those messy things, why can't you see it!"

Ruan Wan: "......" This is pulling hatred for her!

Qiao Yi: "...... "Grandpa, can you still be reasonable?"

Both of them are also helpless.

Su Fanghua wanted to say a few words to Ruan Wan, but "the heavy responsibility is on her body", so she had to go out first.

Ruan Wan turned her head sideways and asked Qiao Yi in a low voice, "What about your wish?"

"She still has classes in the afternoon, and I just kicked her away. โ€

When Ruan Wan heard this, she unconsciously bent the corners of her mouth, the word "rush" was really used.

"Xiao Yi. Old Man Qiao leaned on the bed, and began to call his grandson when he had nothing to do, "Go and bring me the little girl's fruit basket." โ€

Qiao Yi: "...... Oh. โ€

"I'll do it. Ruan Wan wanted to take it while she spoke, but was stopped by Old Man Qiao.

Qiao Yi easily lifted the fruit basket in front of Old Man Qiao, who picked and chose for a moment, took out an apple and stuffed it for his grandson: "Go, help me peel it." โ€

Qiao Yi's gaze silently fell on the plate of apples that had been cut on the bedside table beside him.

"Cut!"

Qiao Yi was helpless, but the old man was unreasonable, what could he do?

Ruan Wan also wiped her sweat secretly, she couldn't see that Old Man Qiao was unhappy and had nowhere to vent, so she could only toss and toss her grandson to "play". Speaking of which, Qiao Yi is also unlucky, Qiao Jingwei is so old that it is not easy to toss, Su Fanghua is daughter-in-law can't toss, Qiao Xinyi is young and the old man's heart treasure naturally can't be tossed, so Comrade Qiao Yi had to be generous to the thunder.

Ruan Wan really plucked a tear of sympathy for him.

Qiao Yi: Little girl, can you not be so obvious when you are gloating?

Ruan Wan: =w= Anyway, the old man won't toss me, so you can enjoy it yourself!

Old Man Qiao disliked his grandson's poor skill in peeling apples, and chatted with Ruan Wan at the same time, which was roughly his recent life. After asking a few words, the old man asked, "Is your grandmother okay lately?"

"Grandma was very nice. At the mention of this, the corners of Ruan Wan's mouth naturally overflowed with a smile, "I also went to the south to play once recently." That's right!" she opened

Ruan Wan keenly noticed that almost the moment she took out this thing, Old Man Qiao's gaze was condensed. Immediately, this old man, who had always hidden his thoughts deeply, his eyes fluctuated a little, his chapped lips trembled slightly, and his face actually showed a clearly visible excitement and ...... Mourning.

This is......

Ruan Wan was stunned, and Old Man Qiao had already raised his still able hand tremblingly and took the thing in her hand.

The embroidered cloth is uncovered.

The metal case is revealed.

Old Man Qiao gently flicked the small jade lock with his old calloused fingers, and he actually fell into deep thought for a while.

Qiao Yi, who noticed this scene, looked at Ruan Wan suspiciously, and asked with his eyes, "What did you bring here?" It's clearly not one, but it feels like some kind of exchange.

Ruan Wan shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know about it.

Immediately, the two saw that Old Man Qiao withdrew his hand and stroked it to his neck.

Qiao Yi's eyes condensed slightly, and he suddenly remembered the bag that his grandfather had worn around his neck all the year round. Sure enough, in the next second, Old Man Qiao pulled it out, and then poured it into the palm of his hand.

What landed on his palm was a small key, also made of jade.

Things have come to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this key will definitely be able to open the jade lock. In other words, the lock of the box has an inseparable relationship with Old Man Qiao.

So what's going on?

The villains in their hearts began to scratch the wall and roll.

Right now......

Old Man Qiao raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "You all go out first." And say to the others, I don't call, don't come in. โ€

Qiao Yi: "......"

Ruan Wan: "......"

At this moment, the hearts of the two are in tune - not like this!!

But no matter how much they don't want to go out, they can't leave it with a dead face. So, the two rubbed out of the ward "reluctantly".

After leaving the ward, the first thing the two of them did was to raise their heads and sigh, which caused the guards to look at them curiously.

Qiao Yi endured and endured, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask Ruan Wan: "If you ask Grandma Su, will she say it?"

"Not sure. Ruan Wan asked rhetorically, "If you ask Grandpa Qiao, will he say it?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Up in the air. โ€

The two looked at each other for a moment, smiled wryly, and then sighed again.

"Alas!"

Baby's heart is bitter!QAQ

There are so many secrets of the old man!
