Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469: Working Together
Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s apology, the old man suddenly froze. Although he knew his granddaughter was being capricious, he hadn’t expected her to apologize to him so soon. Even though she had apologized last time, this time it was as if she suddenly came to a realization.
At the hospital, the old man actually wanted to say sorry to his granddaughter. If he hadn’t brought Su Zining over, maybe his granddaughter wouldn’t have been bullied that way. But at the time, his granddaughter was in a bad mood, and seeing that she was not in the mood for anything, he swallowed his apologies.
As a result, since then, the old man had no chance to apologize to his granddaughter, so he could only feel regret and blame himself, unable to find the opportunity.
But unexpectedly, his granddaughter chose this moment to apologize to him. The two had no further misunderstandings, and since their relationship was already good, it was only a quarrel.
"Alright, alright, it’s not that you were capricious, Grandpa was angry with you too, and he didn’t handle it well. If Grandpa could have noticed your bad mood earlier, he wouldn’t have made such a fuss, surely it hurt your feelings. This time Grandpa also made a mistake; he brought that annoying Su Zining, who almost did something unacceptable to you. It’s all Grandpa’s fault, so don’t blame yourself,"
said the old man as he helped his granddaughter up. Xiao Keyi had no intention of blaming her grandfather, knowing that the wrongdoing this time was Su Zining’s, not her grandfather’s.
"Grandpa, this time it wasn’t your fault, so you don’t need to blame yourself. If we’re to blame anyone, let’s blame Su Zining."
"Moreover, Xu Ke has found his mother, and if possible Grandpa, I hope you could meet her."
As Xiao Keyi said this, a shy smile appeared on her face. Although she didn’t know Xu Ke’s mother, since Xu Ke had found her,
if she didn’t make an effort, relying solely on Xu Ke wouldn’t work. Xiao Keyi wanted to help, at least to lighten Xu Ke’s load, so he wouldn’t be the only one working hard.
Working together makes it more meaningful, and their relationship will be even stronger, less susceptible to being destroyed by a third party, something Xiao Keyi understood particularly well.
The old man was stunned, surprised that Xu Ke had found Wang Cuixia so quickly. But was that Wang Cuixia the same one he knew?
The old man was eager to meet the legendary Wang Cuixia, although he had seen her a month ago. If he could confirm his granddaughter’s destined one through Wang Cuixia, and if it was Xu Ke, it would be perfect, indicating that the children loved each other, recognized even by fate.
Thinking of this, and seeing his granddaughter’s expectant eyes, the old man smiled with joy: "Since his mother has come to Changnan, why not bring her and him to our home? Let me see, if it’s true, Grandpa can decide early. If delayed, it might change, and thinking of Su Zining makes Grandpa angry; he might damage your reputation."
Su Zining was completely misjudged by the old man, he always admitted this, and felt guilt, which the old butler knew as well.
The butler was also quite emotional, surprised at Xu Ke’s effort, finding Wang Cuixia so quickly, greatly enhancing the chances of the two being together. The old man here will agree sooner or later anyway.
"Old guy, don’t you trust your granddaughter? Since she said she found them, it must be true, but surely there is a reason they didn’t come. Yiyi, tell the two grandpas why, and what prevented you from bringing them home."
The butler was rather gentle, so he asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi was naturally pleased and glared fakely at her grandfather: "Grandpa, I told you long ago you should learn from Grandpa Yu, look at how gentle he is. Every time you act so serious, like I’ve done something wrong. If others knew, wouldn’t they think I have no manners?"
"Besides, it’s not me who didn’t want to invite them, today was just too hurried, Father actually went as well, even directly confronting Aunt at the banquet."
Thinking of this made Xiao Keyi angry, always being overly strict, but must he always do this? Embarrassing Aunt so much, surely today’s reception was awkward. Xiao Keyi felt deeply self-reproachful; Aunt was so kind to her, yet this is how she repaid her?
"I was really mortified outside, Grandpa you have to talk to dad, so many people, he did that, really making me lose face."
The old man hadn’t expected his son to go too, surely worried about Yiyi, else, with his son’s nature, who knows where he’d have gone wild.
But seeing father and daughter improving their relationship, the old man didn’t want to blame his son too much, else their relationship wouldn’t improve, and that’s not what the old man wished to see.
"Alright, don’t blame your father, he was worried. Besides, if your dad recognizes Xu Ke, wouldn’t that put you at ease?"
Xiao Keyi was taken aback, but could her father and Xu Ke reconcile? They’d argued more than once, and who knows what happened after she left?
If they could reconcile, how happy they’d be as a family, but these were just Xiao Keyi’s thoughts.
"Alright don’t think too much, your dad understands, if he sees Xu Ke really cares for you, he’ll be comfortable entrusting you to him. Deep down your father loves you, you just had some misunderstandings before, you will gradually see his goodness."
After saying this, the old man leaned on the butler’s hand to stand up. Recently, the weather got colder, making his leg cumbersome, so he often needed support while walking.
