After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 983

Chapter 983: My Poor Granddaughter
Qin Lie walked quickly, and as soon as he reached the living room, he didn’t say a word and immediately shoved Zhouzhou into Grandma Qin’s arms.

Grandma Qin gently stroked Zhouzhou’s little face, and tears instantly fell down. “Zhouzhou, don’t be scared, it’s okay. Grandma is here. Even if I have to sell the house, I will get you treated.”

As she spoke, she patted Zhouzhou’s small head, and her tears fell even more heavily.

Her perfectly healthy little granddaughter, why did she suddenly go mad?

What kind of suffering had she endured in the past month?

Hearing this, Zhouzhou looked at her with a confused expression. “Grandma, what are you talking about?”

Grandma Qin hugged her tightly. “It’s nothing, Grandma has already scheduled a doctor for you. Don’t be afraid to seek treatment. If there’s a sickness, it’s better to treat it early. Don’t worry, Grandma will stay with you the whole time.”

But Zhouzhou wasn’t scared at all. It was only after hearing Grandma’s words that she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Zhouzhou grabbed Grandma Qin’s face, worried. “Grandma, what’s wrong with you? Are you silly?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. The one who’s silly is you,” Grandma Qin replied seriously.

Zhouzhou: “?”

The two of them stared at each other, both thinking the other had something wrong with their head.

When Ye Lingfeng walked in, he saw this scene and couldn’t help but almost laugh.

Upon hearing the sound, both of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at him.

Ye Lingfeng touched his nose, walked up with a smile, and said, “What’s going on here?”

Zhouzhou pouted and said, with a pitiful look, “Dad, Grandma said I’m sick.”

She wasn’t sick! She was perfectly fine!

But Grandma Qin was certain that she was denying the illness and sighed. “Zhouzhou, I can see it.”

At this, Zhouzhou was even more confused. “Grandma, what did you see?”

“I saw what you did last night,” Grandma Qin said. “If you weren’t sick, why were you laughing wildly and foolishly in the yard?”

“My poor granddaughter,” she said while patting Zhouzhou’s small face. “Why is your life so hard?”

Zhouzhou: “……”

It was indeed hard. She was perfectly fine, but Grandma insisted she was sick.

Zhouzhou looked to Ye Lingfeng for help.

Ye Lingfeng suppressed his smile and said, “Auntie, Zhouzhou is fine. She’s still your clever, lively, and adorable little granddaughter.”

“Last night, Zhouzhou and I were just playing.”

“Then how come I didn’t see you?” Grandma Qin didn’t believe it.

Ye Lingfeng said, “I was upstairs. If Zhouzhou had really had any problem, I would have been as anxious as you. How could I just sit still?”

This explanation made some sense.

Grandpa Qin, who had been listening from the side, also spoke up. “Alright, stop overthinking it. If Zhouzhou is silly, that’s something we can see at a glance.”

“Exactly,” Zhouzhou said seriously, nodding her little head, a bit flustered. “Grandma, do I look like a fool to you?”

She was a clever girl!

Grandma Qin was still worried, so she asked Zhouzhou a few more questions. After finding that Zhouzhou answered everything fluently and completely right, she finally relaxed and sighed in relief. “Thank goodness, you’re not foolish. Thank goodness.”

Zhouzhou huffed, then turned around and hugged Grandma Qin, smiling happily. “Grandma, I missed you so much.”

Grandma Qin immediately smiled so brightly it looked like she was blooming. “I missed you too.”

“I didn’t have a chance to properly ask, but did you face any danger while you were out? Did anyone bully you?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “No, no.”

There were dangers, and there were people who tried to bully her, but she had dealt with all of them.

And those dangers, she didn’t even consider them to be real dangers. They couldn’t pose any threat to her.

Thinking about it, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but recall the things that happened in the hospital.

So much had happened there.

Speaking of hospital…

Suddenly, Zhouzhou jumped out of Grandma Qin’s arms and slapped her head. “Ah, I promised Uncle Wang that I would visit his wife! I completely forgot about it.”

Grandma Qin asked curiously, “Uncle Wang? Who is that?”

As soon as she asked, Zhouzhou’s eyes dimmed a little.

“He’s a doctor I met at the hospital. He passed away suddenly from overwork,” Zhouzhou said quietly.

Hearing this, the living room immediately fell silent. Everyone’s face grew serious.

Even though they were outside, they had seen a lot of news from their phones, and thinking back, it made them all feel uncomfortable.

Ye Lingfeng naturally remembered Dr. Wang. After a pause, he rubbed Zhouzhou’s little head and said, “Let’s go. I’ll accompany you.”

“Okay, okay,” Zhouzhou nodded, then looked at Qin Lie and said, “Dad, could you please give me another day off?”

She didn’t want her tuition to go to waste, but this matter was urgent.

Qin Lie nodded. “Alright.”

Father and daughter didn’t even have time for breakfast, quickly grabbing a few large steamed buns and hurrying out.

As he watched them leave together, Qin Lie couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.

For Zhouzhou, Ye Lingfeng was not just her father, but also her comrade-in-arms, someone who had fought alongside her through life and death. And these were experiences he, Qin Lie, would never be able to share with her.

In the future, his role in Zhouzhou’s life would probably become smaller and smaller.

Thinking this, Qin Lie’s eyes darkened a bit.

Grandpa Qin immediately saw what was on his mind. After a moment of silence, he said, “Ye must have felt the same as you do. Think about this, Zhouzhou is his biological daughter, and he’s also accommodating you.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie blinked and looked up at him.

Grandpa Qin slowly said, “Since you’ve already decided to be a father to Zhouzhou alongside Ye, then don’t overthink it. There’s no point in thinking too much. It will only make you feel uncomfortable.”

“And also, be more magnanimous. Don’t expect Zhouzhou to choose between you and Ye Lingfeng, whether you’re number one or number two. You both are equally important to her.”

“Mm,” Grandma Qin agreed, nodding. “You two are tied for second place, and I’m number one in Zhouzhou’s heart. What’s the point of competing for second and third?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

Seeing this, Grandma Qin’s face instantly dropped. “What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?”

“Right, right,” Qin Lie nodded. “You’re absolutely right.”

Grandma Qin gave him an annoyed look, not wanting to talk to him anymore. She turned her attention to the outside world, suddenly slapping her leg. “Ah, I forgot to ask when Zhouzhou is coming back.”

Zhouzhou hadn’t thought about this question either.

She and Ye Lingfeng had arrived at the airport just in time for a flight heading to the southwest, so they didn’t need to bother Lan Tian.

Three hours later, the plane landed in the southwest.

Zhouzhou looked at the address sent by Zheng Yu for Dr. Wang’s home and hailed a cab to go there.

The car quickly stopped in front of a new residential complex. It was said to be their newlywed home.

Zhouzhou, holding Ye Lingfeng’s hand, walked to the building and knocked on the door.

Before the door could even open, a figure floated out. Seeing them, the figure anxiously said, “Zhouzhou, hurry, call 120!”
