Chapter 1457 - 1450: The Wind Rises (8)
"No need, someone is coming to pick me up outside. You should just focus on washing the dishes."
Qin Zhiyou still left the kitchen with Lu Weixi, both of them assisting the old man out the door.
Someone had already been waiting outside. Once the old man got into the car and turned to see Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi standing shoulder to shoulder—Qin Zhiyou with an apron on, and Lu Weixi heavily pregnant. Despite their simple clothes, there was a particularly warm atmosphere around them, reminiscent of a couple tending to the small matters of everyday life. He waved goodbye, and the car drove further and further away. As Qin Zhiyou and she turned back, Lu Weixi asked him, "What else did you say to Grandpa?"
"Nothing much," Qin Zhiyou wrapped his arms around her shoulders and sighed lightly, "Grandpa always worries about me."
In that family, the affection he could receive was too little. Putting aside the second and third branches, his father died early, and even before his death, they seldom spent time together. Yang Mogui was always hands-off, and later on, he started seeing me as a cash cow. Only Grandpa ever gave him that tough love look when he was too young to understand, and later on, when he pulled his uncles and aunts down from their pedestals, Grandpa, although never openly supporting one side over the other, didn’t reprimand him after his success. In fact, he was always backing him up behind the scenes. This time was no different—despite the significant changes in the company, as long as he could find reasons to convince Grandpa, he wouldn’t blame him and would always, always support him.
He actually yearned for a harmonious and congenial family life, but he reckoned that was impossible in this lifetime. The only thing he could do was to make Hanhai thrive and then take care of his own little family.
Other matters... would be left to fate.
"Hey, you two, heading out without properly cleaning up the kitchen, what are you up to?"
