Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, You Jiaoyang said gently: "Xu Xingguang, I know that when you come back today, my mother specially made lunch by herself, and the taste is very light, I don't know if it's right or not." ”

In the past, Xu Xingguang did like to eat light and sweet food, but now she prefers spicy and oily food, but she still said politely: "It's hard Aunt You." ”

After receiving Xu Xingguang's thanks, You Jingqiu's expression cleared up a little.

She doesn't usually cook for her children, but today she specially cooked a meal for Xu Xingguang, if her hot face was attached to the other party's cold buttocks, she would naturally not be hot in her heart.

After entering the house, the strange nanny brought Xu Xingguang a cup of warm tea.

Xu Xingguang politely thanked him, took a shallow sip, and heard Xu Zeqing say, "Xingguang, your grandfather is sick and can't get up, do you want to go see him first?" ”

Grandpa's room was on the easternmost side of the first floor, and as soon as Xu Xingguang entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine and an indescribable smell of the elderly. It is the breath of the old man who lies on the bed for a long time after being sick, neglects to wash and turn over, and has bedsores and rotting flesh and blood.

Although the hostess deliberately sprayed perfume, it was difficult to hide it.

Xu Xingguang does not have a deep impression of his grandfather, he has the impression that he is a rigid person all his life, he once served as the principal of Yujiang City No. 1 Middle School, some literati are temperamental, and he is pretentious. But he is such a person who teaches and educates people, but he is a patriarchal person.

"I'll take a look." Xu Xingguang went to the old man's room on the east side accompanied by Xu Zeqing.

Xu Xingguang's grandfather's name is Xu Qingnian, who has just turned 70 years old. Five years ago, Xu Qingnian hurt his brain in the bathroom, and he didn't care about it when it wasn't painful, but what he didn't expect was that he always had the problem of walking backwards after falling, and he was completely paralyzed by a stroke the next year.

Xu Xingguang pushed open the closed door, and a bad smell came to his face, Xu Zeqing, who was standing on the side, subconsciously frowned, obviously a little unable to stand this suffocating smell.

The light in the room was dim, and Xu Qingnian was already asleep, breathing a little heavily. The once sturdy and burly old man, who had been tortured by illness for four years, was now so thin that only a handful of dry bones remained, and his face, which always looked serious and old-fashioned when he was angry, was already covered with age spots.

Xu Xingguang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Who would have thought that the old principal, who once walked majestically and swaggeringly, would live such a miserable life in old age.

"Grandpa." Xu Xingguang called the other party lightly.

The old man's eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened them.

He stared at Xu Xingguang with cloudy eyes for a long time before he recognized who she was. "Starlight girl, are you really awake?" Hearing Xu Zeqing say that his granddaughter had woken up earlier, Xu Qingnian couldn't believe it, but he didn't expect her to really wake up!

Xu Xingguang bowed, "I'm back, grandpa." ”

The old man trembled and stretched out his left hand to her, his fingers slightly bent, and the back of his hand was full of wrinkles.

Xu Xingguang's eyes showed a complicated look, she hesitated, and also held her grandfather's hand tightly.

Although grandpa is patriarchal, he has not treated her harshly in life, and Xu Xingguang has no resentment towards him.

Holding his granddaughter's hand, Xu Qingnian burst into tears and began to cry. "The Xu family has been really troubled over the years, first you suffered, and then your mother. Now that the Xu family has been hit by the Jiang family's kid and fallen to this step, I feel pain in my heart when I look at it. ”

Xu Xingguang looked at this scene in amazement.

The grandfather she remembered never paid attention to crying, and even after her grandmother died, he never cried in front of the children. But now, his tears are falling.

Grandpa is old.

In the end, the old man sighed: "Your grandmother left early, but she is blessed." ”

Xu Xingguang didn't know how to answer, so he simply shut up.

Xu Zeqing really couldn't stand the smell, he patted Xu Xingguang's shoulder and said to her, "You go out first, and then come and talk to your grandfather after dinner." ”

"Hmm."

When Xu Xingguang left the room, she also closed the door intimately, but she didn't leave immediately.

The sound insulation at home is very good, but the strange thing is that Xu Xingguang's hearing is exceptionally strong, she heard Xu Zeqing say to Xu Qingnian in a low voice: "Dad, you can rest assured, Starlight is awake now, and our Xu family will be saved." ”

Xu Qingnian asked him: "How to save it?" ”

Xu Zeqing said: "Among the boys who pursued starlight in the past, there were two children of wealthy nobles, although they were illegitimate children, but they were also taken back to their own families. As long as Xingguang successfully marries into a wealthy family, our Xu family will still be able to stand up. ”

"Bastard thing!" Xu Qingnian was furious, he scooped up something and smashed it at Xu Zeqing, and scolded bitterly: "The books you have read over the years have all been read under the belly!" Do you know what you're talking about, you're selling women for glory by doing this! Your company is just running poorly and going bankrupt, it's not that your family is ruined, and you don't need to sell your daughter! ”

"Even if our Xu family is really ruined, I won't agree with you to do that! Starlight girl is not as scheming as the woman you newly married into the door, if you marry her to a wealthy family, you will push her into the jackal's den, and she will be gnawed to the bone! She's your own daughter, how can you bear it! ”

"Besides, when a man is alive, he should stand up to the sky! Only useless things will use women in exchange for financial power. Xu Zeqing, Xu Zeqing, I'm smart all my life, how did I teach you such a bastard? ”

"Get out! Get out of here! The old man scolded so hard that he kept coughing. He probably wanted to hit Xu Zeqing, a bastard, but his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't move his torso except for his hands, so he could only rely on roaring.

Xu Zeqing was scolded so that his face was blue and white.

He picked up the water cup and put it on the bedside table, and said calmly: "Okay, listen to you, listen to you, you rest." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang walked away lightly. Hearing what he meant, he didn't seem to know that Xu Zeqing agreed with Jiang Heng to pump her blood to save Bai Yueguang, and he didn't know that the reason why the Xu family went bankrupt was not because Xu Zeqing was not mismanaged, but because of Jiang Heng's oppression.

Xu Qingnian's patriarchal thinking is indeed wrong, but he is still a qualified elder. At least, he still has a conscience, although he looks down on his granddaughter as a daughter, he will not calculate his granddaughter and hurt his granddaughter.

Xu Zeqing rubbed his chin, which was smashed by the old man, and then went to the living room.

The meal was already cold, and You Jingqiu and the nanny were hot in the kitchen. Xu Xingguang glanced at the strange brothers and sisters not far from her, and suddenly got up and said, "I'll go back to the room first." "The once familiar home was occupied by strangers, and Xu Xingguang always felt uncomfortable staying here.

The room is her private world, and it will be more comfortable to stay in the room.

Hearing this, Xu Zeqing also followed her upstairs, "I'll take you there." ”

Xu Xingguang subconsciously refused, "No, I remember the road." "She lived in the room for 17 years, how could she not remember the way.

But Xu Zeqing showed a look of embarrassment.

He told Xu Xingguang: "Xingguang, now there are many people in the family, the room is tight, you have been living in the hospital all these years, and it is a waste to have an empty room, so I will vacate it for your sister Mingyue to live in." She's lived in that room for two years, and she has a lot of stuff, and it's a hassle to clean up..."

Xu Xingguang moved Xu Zeqing's meaning.

She doesn't have a room anymore.
