~Granddaughter-In-Law~
Qiao Xin seemed to be walking down the halls of the hospital. She felt that her body had completely recovered, but she had not been allowed to leave the hospital. The hospital staff said that Xiao Long still would not allow her to leave the hospital. She doesn't know what was the reason behind it.
Qiao Xin felt imprisoned. She now had to go out immediately to get a loan for her mother, her living expenses, and then go look for another reliable job. A decent job to make ends meet and pay her debts. She didn't have time to cry, be sad, and ponder about her life, which obviously messed up.
Qiao Xin stopped in her tracks as the sound of a man's sobs in her ears. Then she turned her head to look at the two male figures who were there. One older man lying weakly with an IV line and some other medical equipment, and another young man wearing a dark tuxedo, gripped the older man's hand very tightly. And how shocked Qiao Xin was when she found out who it was. Yes, that figure is Xiao Long. And when Qiao Xin squinted her eyes, trying to see who the older man might be from Xiao Long's family, she looked shocked, knowing that this man was the older man she met in the city park a while ago.
A very extraordinary coincidence, a coincidence that made Qiao Xin even more clueless. What happened? How could Grandpa, who was met in the city park, lie in the hospital with such a severe condition? It is clear from the number of medical equipment attached to his body. When Qiao Xin met the older man, she felt that Grandpa was in good health. It hasn't even been a month yet.
On the other hand, Xiao Chuan, who was talking to Xiao Long, accidentally saw a figure standing outside the door of his inpatient. And he was pretty surprised when he found out that it was Qiao Xin, that figure was wearing the same hospital patient's clothes just like him. It means that the figure was a patient of this hospital as well. With a trembling voice, Xiao Chuan let out his voice.
"Miss Liu?" softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Long immediately turned his head, and he saw Qiao Xin behind the door with a dazed look.
"Grandfather?" Xiao Long said.
"That's Miss Liu, can you take her in?" Xiao Chuan asked.
Xiao Long was reluctant. He didn't want his relationship to be known to anyone else, especially Qiao Xin. However, how could Xiao Long refuse a request from the grandfather Xiao Chuan loved even more than himself? He couldn't.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'll ask the lady to come in," Xiao Long said at last.
Reluctantly, Xiao Long stood up and then he looked at Qiao Xin, who seemed to be still staring at his grandfather. Then, when Xiao Long opened the door that was not perfectly closed in the first place, Qiao Xin seemed to gasp.
"You scum, Grandpa ordered you to get in," Xiao Long said. Qiao Xin gasped in surprise again.
"What? Grandpa?" she asked stupidly.
Xiao Long just rolled his eyes in embarrassment, without any intention to answer Qiao Xin's question. Then he retreated in an orderly manner and allowed Qiao Xin to enter.
Qiao Xin went straight into Xiao Chuan's treatment room, and then she touched Xiao Chuan's face and hands. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Xiao Chuan while crying.
"Mr. Han, what happened? Why are you here? Are you sick? What ails you? Weren't you fine when we met? What makes you this ill, Mr. Han?" Qiao Xin asked. Then she shut her mouth. She just realized that the surnames of Xiao Chuan and Xiao Long are the same. Yes, both surnamed Han. "S...so both of you are related by blood? Mr Han, and Young Master Han?" Qiao Xin said as if she wanted to make things clear.
Xiao Chuan smiled, then he told Qiao Xin to sit down. Holding Qiao Xin's hand warmly, Xiao Long could only sit on the sofa not far away while observing the warm interaction between the two.
"Miss Liu, Xiao Long is my granddaughter. He is the only grandchild I have after my granddaughter died decades ago. I can say without a doubt that he is the most precious treasure I currently have..." said Xiao Chuan. Qiao Xin was also silent. Xiao Chuan also looked at Xiao Long, who was currently sitting there, not saying anything. "Xiao Long, this is Miss Liu. The woman I told you about. What do you think of her? She is a good woman, isn't she?" he said. However, Xiao Long immediately turned his face away.
Qiao Xin didn't care what Xiao Long did because she didn't think Xiao Long was the most important thing right now.
"I've been sick for a long time, Miss Liu. And maybe this is my last chance to finish whatever business I have left in this world," Xiao Chuan finally answered.
Qiao Xin seemed to shake her head, and then she looked at Xiao Chuan with a sad expression on her face.
"Don't say such a thing, Mr. Han. I'm sure you'll recover, I'm sure of it. So you have to hold on, you have to fight for your family," Qiao Xin said again. Then Xiao Chuan looked at Qiao Xin with her beautiful eyes, then she smiled again.
"There is one thing that might make me able to live longer, Miss Liu. But it seems that is the one thing I can't get,"
"Don't Mr Han have a lot of money? You can have whatever you want very easily," Qiao Xin said.
"Not everything can be bought with money, Miss Liu. Believe me," Xiao Chuan replied.
"Then what do you want so much, Mr. Han? Maybe I can help you get it? Do you want to eat something? I can cook for you, I'll have you know that cooking is totally within my area of expertise," said Qiao Xin, who managed to make Xiao Chuan chuckle.
"Actually I'm not in the mood to eat anything, I just want you to be my granddaughter-in-law," said Xiao Chuan, which made Qiao Xin shocked.
