Chapter 32: Grandpa's Heart
Entering the villa, Ye Chen still didn't hear any movement, nor did he see any lights in the house, and Ye Chen's heart was even more panicked.
A delay of one second will make the sick grandfather more dangerous, Ye Chen immediately rushed to the room where his grandfather lived with the help of the faint night light.
Concerned about his grandfather's safety, Ye Chen's potential exploded, and the weakness in his body had been alleviated by half.
For so many years, Mrs. Xia and Mr. Xia have lived in separate rooms, and Ye Chen knows which one his grandfather lives in.
When he came to the door of his grandfather's room, Ye Chen asked about the pungent smell of wine and the sound of snoring like thunder.
Ye Chen was slightly startled and knocked on the door.
There was no response in the room, and the snoring continued.
Grandpa is sick? Why is the snoring so smooth?
What's going on?
After knocking on the door twice, but there was still no movement, Ye Chen couldn't wait, so he kicked the door open suddenly, breaking the locked door, and then pushed the door in.
Entering the room, Ye Chen immediately turned on the light in the room.
As soon as the lights are on, the scene inside the house is clearly visible.
Old Man Xia was lying on his bed, sleeping selflessly, the roaring snoring, he was so intoxicated that it was estimated that even if he stabbed him twice, it would be impossible to wake up from his sleep.
The room was filled with the smell of liquor, which was quite pungent.
Grandpa is drunk, why does grandma say that grandpa is sick?
Isn't it okay?
Ye Chen walked forward, stretched out his hand and plucked the old man's pulse, except for being drunk, his body was very healthy and unharmed.
What's going on?
Just as Ye Chen was confused, the lights suddenly lit up in the corridor and hall outside the door, and hurried footsteps sounded, and Old Lady Xia rushed in with a frightened face.
"Ye Chen, you're here."
After rushing into the house, Mrs. Xia suddenly became friendly and greeted.
Ye Chen was not as calm as Old Lady Xia, and asked with a displeased face: "Grandma, grandpa is just drunk, why do you say that he is very ill, what is the purpose of tricking me to come over at night?" ”
"Ye Chen, that's right, I lied to you, but I also lied to you according to your grandfather's instructions, you can't blame me." Old Mrs. Xia said with an innocent face.
"Grandpa's orders? What's going on? Ye Chen frowned and asked, his head full of fog.
Mrs. Xia pointed to a mahogany brocade box on the table next to Mr. Xia's bed and said, "See?" That's a little bit of heart from your grandfather, your grandfather knows your character, if he said that he asked you to get the gift in order to thank you, you would definitely not come, so he asked me to trick you and give it to you with my own hands. ”
"A gift for me?"
Ye Chen looked at the mahogany brocade box curiously, it was quite exquisite, this box alone was priceless, Ye Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No, grandma, this thing is too expensive for me to want."
Old Lady Xia smiled and said, "Ye Chen, this thing is not valuable, it's just a little bit of your grandfather's mind, you can open it and take a look." ”
Ye Chen stepped forward, carefully picked up the delicate mahogany brocade box, opened the lid lightly, and saw three pieces of osmanthus cake with plum blossom patterns inside.
Ye Chen's eyes widened, he looked at the three osmanthus cakes incredulously, and thought: Such a delicate box, there are actually three osmanthus cakes?
"How? Ye Chen, this is a little bit of heart that your grandfather prepared for you, and it can be regarded as a thank you for saving your life. Mrs. Xia said peacefully.
I see!
Ye Chen suddenly brightened up, understood his grandfather's good intentions, and asked, "Grandma, how much wine has grandpa drunk?" And the doormen, why didn't they see anyone? ”
"Your grandfather is not the first to recover from a serious illness, saved a life, and was happy, so he invited a lot of old friends to celebrate, and he drank a lot tonight, and indulged everyone in the family to let go of eating and drinking, he gave me this box of osmanthus cake before he fell asleep drunk, and specially told me to let me trick you and give it to you. Those security guards are probably also drunk, this is the first time they have made an exception when they come to Xia's house, they must have eaten and drunk to their heart's content. ”
Mrs. Xia explained.
"That's the case, okay, grandma, I know, this osmanthus cake that grandpa gave me, I accepted it, and when grandpa woke up, thank grandpa for me, he really worked hard."
Carrying the wooden brocade box, Ye Chen felt his grandfather's affection.
"Then even if I have completed the task given to me by the old man, the old man still understands you, this kind of carefulness, you will definitely accept it, then it's so late, Ye Chen, you go back quickly, I won't keep you." Old Lady Xia said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, grandma, I'll go first, by the way, grandma, help me open the door." Ye Chen said.
"How you get in, how you get out, grandma, I have inconvenient legs and feet, and everyone under the security guard is drunk, I'm really embarrassed, Ye Chen." Mrs. Xia pounded her feet painfully and said.
Ye Chen nodded, walked out of Old Man Xia's room with the wooden brocade box, returned the same way, and in the same way, jumped over the iron gate and left the Xia family's villa.
Back at the hotel, Ye Chen ate the three osmanthus cakes that represented his grandfather's heart with relish, and then slept with peace of mind.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Chen got up early and stretched, and quickly went downstairs in the community to wait for Xia Siqi to go to work.
On the way to take Xia Siqi to Xia Group, Ye Chen saw Xia Siqi's ugly face and said: "Siqi, I know you are worried about the 50 million investment, listen to me, go to the richest man Zhang Jiawei to give it a try." ”
"Ye Chen, I really don't know what to do, I think I'm too useless, and I definitely can't find Zhang Jiawei, but even if it's a shame, I'll go there, and I'll go to Jiawei Group after the morning meeting later." Xia Siqi said as she felt helpless and unwilling.
