Hearing the little girl's innocent words, Grandpa Fu's heart melted completely.
Although the medicine was very bitter, his sweet granddaughter was so good to him.
He knew that if the little girl was willing to share one of her two candies a day with him, she must really love him, her grandfather.
Thinking about this, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Compared to that, what is that little bit of suffering?
The old man reached out and gently rubbed the little girl's head, then picked up the peach-flavored hard candy from her hand and said with a loving expression.
"Okay, then Grandpa will listen to Qingqing."
The little girl's eyes curved into crescent shapes as she imitated the way others praised her, saying, "Grandpa is amazing!"
The old man was completely charmed by this scene, and he couldn't have been happier.
Seeing the worthless smile on his face, Jun Baiji's voice drifted over from the side.
Just a reminder, you can't eat candy.
The old man's smile suddenly froze, and he looked at him with barely suppressed anger.
That doctor is really something, he had to say something unpleasant when he was so happy.
He pretended not to hear and stuffed the candy into his pocket right in front of Jun Baiji.
This was given to him by his beloved granddaughter; it's a symbol of love.
Even if they can't finish it, he'll find a place to put it away.
Jun Baiji took in the scene of him hiding the candy, but said nothing.
Based on his understanding of the old man, sugar was optional for him, unlike alcohol, so he should know how to use it appropriately.
He looked away and said in a calm tone, "Find someone to come with me to get your medicine, and then you can be discharged."
"I'll go."
Fu Sihuai straightened up and followed Jun Baiji to the door. Then, as if remembering something, he stopped and turned to look at the old man.
When are you planning to let them in?
The old man snorted and then waved his hand impatiently.
"Call in."
Fu Sihuai went out, and the old man bent down to pick up the little girl who was standing by the bed and let her sit on the edge of the bed.
"Aren't you tired of standing?"
The little girl said softly, "Grandpa, I'm not tired~"
Before long, people started coming in one after another, and the originally spacious room suddenly felt very crowded.
Seeing that everyone was standing, Qingqing jumped off the bed and obediently stood to the side.
The old man didn't notice; he was a little shocked.
He just spat out some blood, why are so many people here?
With so many people crowding in, he was surrounded in the middle, and with their stares, it was as if they were watching a rare animal.
With everyone talking at once, he felt his emotions, which had just calmed down, become agitated again.
When there are many people, it gets noisy, and when it gets noisy, he gets irritable, especially when someone is crying and sobbing nearby, which gives him a bigger headache.
The old man waved his hand, trying to send them away: "Alright, I'm fine. You can all go back now. Wipe your tears, or others will think something's wrong with me."
After he finished speaking, no one left. Everyone looked at him, as if they wanted to say something more.
"Hurry back, I'll be discharged soon."
After saying this, they exchanged glances, not daring to displease him any further, and then left one after another.
Everyone left, leaving only the eldest son's family of three and Fu Yueci.
When everyone was leaving, he would make sure to stand to the side so as not to block their way out.
Just as everyone had left, and he was smiling as he tried to speak to Old Master Fu, Fu Fengzhao walked in again, grabbed his arm, and dragged him away.
Outside in the corridor, Fu Yueci looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What?"
Fu Fengzhao didn't speak. Fu Huating crossed her arms and looked at him with a smile: "Silly boy, didn't you see that your uncles and the others have something they want to say to your grandfather?"
Fu Yueci was slightly taken aback, her brows furrowing as she recalled something.
After recalling the events, he honestly shook his head: "No."
This person's observation skills are simply amazing.
“Uncle definitely wants to take my older sister to apologize to Grandpa. What can they say if you're there?”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yueci looked surprised: "What do you mean? Why are you apologizing?"
All three of them looked at him with disbelief.
"Don't you know?"
"I don't know, why didn't anyone tell me?"
After a brief silence, Fu Huating resigned herself to her fate, thinking that if she didn't tell him, given his personality, he would probably ask all sorts of questions.
In the room, Fu Qiaoxi lowered her head, her hands trembling slightly, and choked out, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have associated with people like that."
The couple watched with heartache. Xia Yuechu wanted to hug her and comfort her softly, but he held back because the old man was still there and he was afraid that any action might offend him.
When they were arguing at the old house, the old man said that he and his wife had spoiled Qiao Xi.
Grandpa Fu didn't speak, and Fu Qiaoxi felt even more uneasy, her voice trembling slightly.
“I didn’t know she approached me with a purpose, and I didn’t want to cooperate with her. I asked her those questions just to find out what they were doing.”
After she finished speaking, Xia Yuechu immediately added from the side: "Dad, don't you know Qiao Xi? She has been kind since she was a child, and over the years she has donated more than a dozen schools to children in mountainous areas."
As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and showed it to the old man.
