He had lived for nearly 20 years and thought that he was doted on. When he looked back, he realized that his life was just a tool.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Weiyang felt very upset, but she also knew that there were many things that he could only digest himself.
âItâs decided. Letâs do it well!â Old Madam Qiao suddenly announced a decision in the Qiao family.
Qiao Jierou glanced at Huang Shumin before saying to Old Madam Qiao, âGrandma, are we really going to hold this admission ceremony for Dongliang?
He just entered the school, butâ¦â
Qiao Jierou could not accept the fact that Qiao Dongliang was studying at Jingdu City University.
Jingdu City University was considered a very good school in the country. If he stayed here, she was afraid that he would become more and more popular in the future.
She was even more afraid of Qiao Dongliang than Qiao Weiyang.
After all, Qiao Weiyang had not been liked by the family since she was young. Qiao Dongliang was different. He had always been the treasure of the family. If there were any conflicts in the future, she would be the one in the wrong.
âDo you have any objections?â Old Madam Qiao asked in a cold tone.
âOf course not. Why would I have any objections? This time, my brother was able to dodge the bullet and enroll into a good school. Iâm more than happy for him.â
Qiao Jierou immediately swore to the heavens to declare her attitude.
Only then did Old Madam Qiao nod in satisfaction.
She said, âDongliang secretly came back this time, and I even locked him up for a few days, causing him to be in a bad mood and depressed. This time, I want to hold a ceremony for him. Firstly, itâs for our family to celebrate. Secondly, I wanted him to be at ease and know that his family supports his decision now. He just needs to stay and study hard. Thereâs nothing else to worry about.â
âIn that case, Iâll go and make the arrangements,â Huang Shumin said immediately. âIâll choose the hotel that holds the most admission ceremonies.
What do you think?â
âAlright, letâs do that.â Old Madam Qiao nodded.
Huang Shumin immediately got up to do something.
Old Madam Qiao sat Qiao Jierou beside her and said earnestly, âItâs not all your fault that Dongliang went to that bad school. You still have a child in your stomach. Donât think about anything else. The most important thing is to take good care of the baby.â
âI understand, Grandma.â
âBy the way, what did the doctor say? Howâs the childâs current condition?â
Qiao Jierou felt a little guilty and clenched her fists. âEverythingâs fine.â
âDonât worry about the child. Your grandfather, in-laws, and Lin Heng are all looking forward to this childâs birth.â
Old Madam Qiaoâs words put a lot of pressure on Qiao Jierou.
Everyone was asking her to give birth to this child. She really needed a child to stabilize her relationship at home.
And yetâ¦
âAdmission ceremony?â Qiao Weiyang was a little surprised to receive Qiao Dongliangâs call. âWhy are you holding an admission ceremony?â
âGrandma made the decision to reassure me.â Qiao Zijinâs tone was calm.
âSister, since they want to do it, letâs do it. I can also investigate some things.â
âThe banquet isnât a big deal, but you have to pay attention to whether they have other motives.â
âIâve asked around. Thereâs really nothing else going on this time. But Sister, can you attend?â
His voice was filled with anticipation.
In the entire Qiao family, other than his grandfather, the only person he could rely on was Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang knew his current state of mind and agreed immediately. âOkay, give me the address. Iâll definitely come.â
âOkay, Iâll send it to you right away.â
After receiving the address, Qiao Weiyang took a look. It was indeed a hotel that often held school admission banquets. This time, Old Madam Qiao must really want Qiao Dongliang to stay in Jingdu City University.
On the day of the banquet, Qiao Weiyang chose a mature long dress to change into.
She then checked the gift she had prepared for Qiao Dongliang.
While putting on makeup, she made a video call to Old Master Qiao.
Old Master Qiao had yet to set off and said happily, âIâll get the caregiver to pack my chessboard. After dinner, you and Dongliang will play two rounds with me.â
âOkay. Iâll accompany you later. Iâll definitely satisfy you. But Dongliang and I will take turns playing with you. Donât complain that you canât take it,â Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
âLetâs not talk about taking turns. Iâm not afraid even if you guys attack me together,â Old Master Qiao said boldly.
âYou said it yourself. Iâll record it as evidence and will release it later!â
âHahahahaha.â Old Master Qiao laughed and turned around to remind the caregiver, âDonât miss any chess pieces.â
âThen take your time to pack. I have to pack too.â âOkay!â Old Master Qiao smiled. âIâm hanging up now.â âAlrizht, Grandpa. Letâs talk when we meet later.â
Only then did Old Master Qiao hang up.
Qiao Weiyang took out her lipstick and planned to put on some simple makeup.
She would not go to the banquet too early. There was no need to exchange pleasantries with those so-called relatives. It would not be too late for her to go when Old Master Qiao and Qiao Dongliang arrived. She only cared about the two of them.
After packing up, she went out and drove toward the address.
When she was about to reach the hotel, she couldnât help but feel nervous for no reason.
It was as if she was feeling a little uncomfortable because she was going to see the Qiao family.
This feeling was common in the past, but it was not as strong as this time.
Could it be that there was a trap at the banquet?
As soon as her car entered the hotel, Qiao Dongliang rushed over with an anxious expression. âSister! Grandpa is being sent to the hospital!â
âHospital? Is his condition acting up again?â Qiao Weiyang frowned and could not help but worry.
âYes, letâs go to the hospital.â Qiao Weiyang was very familiar with Old Master Qiaoâs condition. She believed that there wouldnât be much of a problem.
She comforted him. âItâs okay. Donât worry too much. We can do the banquet another day.â
âIâm not worried about the banquet. Iâm just worried about Grandpa.â There was a faint sob in his voice.
âIâm here.â Qiao Weiyang pretended to be relaxed.
She was indeed very confident that her grandfather would be fine as soon as she arrived.
She started the car and sped toward the hospital.
Although she was still comforting Qiao Dongliang, her fingertips were trembling when she was driving.
If the elderly suddenly caught a disease, it would be very difficult to manage.
Unknowingly, her speed had increased to the point of speeding.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital.
Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to the hospital.
When they reached the door of the operating room, the doctor came out. Qiao Weiyang was the first to rush forward. âDoctor, howâs my grandfatherâs condition?â
âThereâs no other way. Iâm sorry..â
