Chapter 644: Nothing can happen
Madam Xiao shook her head and said, "Nothing, but why did you think of going to see him?"
Lin Yuqing was relieved when she heard Madam Xiao say that everything was fine. "It's nothing, actually. It's just that Grandpa seems to be in poor health recently, and Mingyang is very worried. So I thought I might as well go back and check on him today. Maybe he'll feel better."
After all, if you have your loved ones around you, your mood will be better and your health will naturally be much better.
But this was undoubtedly bad news for Madam Xiao. "Yuqing, is his health really that bad? There's no need for you to go there in person. The Xiao family's doctors and medical team are all top-notch. He'll be fine."
Lin Yuqing was really surprised to hear Mrs. Xiao say this, because she had never thought that Mrs. Xiao would have such an attitude. Although it was indeed the unfaithful father who abandoned them, Xiao Jincheng was still an old man after all, and Xiao Mingyang's husband. No matter what the situation was, it was only right for her to look after him. However, Mrs. Xiao's attitude was a bit too inhumane.
Madam Xiao was Xiao Mingyang's mother after all. Even though Lin Yuqing felt that her attitude was wrong, she still maintained respect for Madam Xiao. "Grandpa is already very old. Even the best doctors can't cure his heart disease. So we want to go back and see him. If he feels better, his body will naturally recover faster."
"Well, go ahead."
Mrs. Xiao also wanted to stop it, but she knew what kind of methods each man had. If she really stopped Xiao Mingyang from seeing him, she might hurt Xiao Mingyang later. Instead of doing that, it would be better to let nature take its course. Xiao Jincheng was already old and would not live for more than a few years.
Lin Yuqing said, "See you later," and then hung up the phone. Xiao Mingyang had been waiting for her. Seeing that she had finished the call, he asked, "How was it? What did Mom say?"
"She asked us to go take a look and buy some supplements."
Lin Yuqing lied. Although she knew that Madam Xiao didn't want them to go see Xiao Jincheng at all, Xiao Mingyang still hadn't untied his knot in his heart. If she told him about this rashly now, she thought Xiao Mingyang would refuse as they had agreed. Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing felt that she couldn't tell the truth. She should let the mother and son let go of the hatred in the past. At least they were family. Besides, Xiao Jincheng's health was really bad now. If something happened, he wouldn't even have any family around him, which would be especially pitiful.
Xiao Mingyang did not doubt Lin Yuqing's words, "Let's go, let's go buy something first and then go over."
Xiao Jincheng is a very smart man. Even though he is old now, he already knows how to get the most benefit for himself.
"Grandpa, just as you expected, they are here."
Sometimes Lilith had to admire Xiao Jincheng's ability. He could actually make Xiao Mingyang come over on his own initiative. If it were before, such a result would be unimaginable, but Xiao Jincheng did it.
"Ahem, I knew Mingyang wasn't a cruel kid."
Because Joe was not around, Xiao Jincheng seemed to be a little weaker, but despite this, he was in a good mood, because his primary goal now was not his own body, but how to make Xiao Mingyang the true heir of the Xiao family.
"Push me out."
Xiao Jincheng said this, his voice obviously much deeper.
Lilith nodded and pushed the wheelchair to the living room. After hearing the servants' report outside, Xiao Jincheng said, "Let them in."
Lin Yuqing and Xiao Mingyang stood outside the door, waiting for the servants' announcement. It felt like an audience in ancient times. Lin Yuqing felt a little uneasy, especially after seeing Xiao Mingyang's expression. He seemed even more nervous than she was. "Mingyang, are you okay?"
Xiao Mingyang shook his head. "It's okay. What could happen to me?"
"You two, the master invites you in."
The man who came back was respectful and stood aside waiting for them to come in. This made Lin Yuqing feel a little uncomfortable. She unconsciously held Xiao Mingyang tightly with her right hand, and then she entered the living room and saw Xiao Jincheng whom she had not seen for a long time.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Xiao Jincheng looked even weaker than in the photo. Xiao Mingyang's heart tightened. He originally thought that he didn't care about this man's life or death at all, but now seeing him like this, he couldn't help feeling sad.
"You guys take a seat first. My neck hurts from looking up all the time."
Lilith carefully patted his shoulders, then looked at Xiao Mingyang and said, "Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time. It can be said that you still have some conscience. At least you didn't really ignore it."
Xiao Mingyang ignored Lilith because he had no natural affection for this woman, let alone anything else.
"Lilith, shut up."
Xiao Jincheng frowned. He didn't like anyone interrupting at this time, even if that person was Lilith.
As expected, after Xiao Jincheng said that, Lilith didn't dare to say another word. On the other hand, Xiao Mingyang was the same. Xiao Jincheng's attitude softened a lot. "Mingyang, did you come here today just to see me?"
"I just came to see if you were dead."
Xiao Mingyang's attitude really couldn't be called good, it should be said to be very bad, but Xiao Jincheng was silent for only two seconds, then laughed, "Mingyang, you really love to joke. If you died, you wouldn't be able to see me today."
When he smiled, the pain in his body was brought up again, and the frown on his face made people feel so distressed.
"Grandpa, is your chest hurting again?"
Joe is still with Li Fengjue, and there is no way for him to bring that person back. Besides, his grandfather has already ordered that Joe can only come back after Bai Yilin recovers.
"Have you been in poor health recently?"
Xiao Mingyang showed his concern in a subtle way. Xiao Jincheng was not a fool. If he could not hear such an obvious attitude, he would be a fool.
People in the Xiao family have always been indifferent, especially when it comes to things like this. If they didn't really care, they wouldn't say such a thing.
He smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's just that it's been raining a lot lately, so the wound is a little painful."
Lin Yuqing felt a little distressed when she saw Xiao Jincheng forcing a smile. She reached out and tugged at Xiao Mingyang's sleeve, and then she heard Xiao Mingyang say, "Take care of yourself when it rains."
Just one sentence made the old man burst into tears.
"Really, I like to cry when I get older. Don't mind me."
Lin Yuqing didn't know what she was feeling, but she felt that Xiao Jincheng was really pitiful. If Xiao Mingyang really didn't care, he might just live like this for the rest of his life.
