Chapter 1021 - Second Uncle Collapsed

However, seeing how protective the Nangong family was toward Nuannuan and how exciting it was to see Nuannuan face-smack the evil Zhong family, Old Master Chi felt very satisfied.

The Nangong family protected Nuannuan well. All the media outlets covered Nuannuan’s face with mosaic on the camera. Anyone who had previously published Nuannuan’s news on the gossip or entertainment columns deleted their posts or had their posts re-posted.

“Grandpa.”

Suddenly, Nuannuan’s voice traversed from outside the door, startling Old Master Chi. He thought he had heard wrongly.

However, he peered outside anyway.

They installed a pupil scan as the door lock for the Chi family. Previously, they had already recorded the reading from Nuannuan’s pupils, so she could enter and leave freely through the main door.

In addition, the guards outside recognized Nuannuan, so it was only after she entered the house that Old Master Chi realized that it was truly Nuannuan.

He quickly stood up and asked excitedly, “Little Girl, why are you back here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your maternal grandfather’s house?”

“What maternal grandfather? Old Man Chi, haven’t you followed today’s news? I’ve announced in front of all the media that Nuannuan has changed her surname to Nangong. Since her surname is Nangong, why is she still calling me her maternal grandfather?”

Old Master Nangong also walked in from outside.

He held the two cutie pies in each of his hands.

After entering the house, Lil Sun and Lil Ling’er gave Old Master Chi a huge 90-degree bow and chimed in unison, “Hello, Great-grandpa!”

Old Master Chi loved children the most, but it was a pity that the Chi family did not have a lot of descendants.

Seeing the children that looked like they just crawled out from a painting, Old Master Chi was so happy that his eyes squinted into two happy lines. He quickly got the servants to find snacks for Lil Ling’er and Lil Sun.

“Grandpa, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I’ve bought some things that they like on the way. However, they’ll be sleeping over tonight, so I’ll have to trouble the butler to arrange a room for them.”

When Old Master Chi heard that there would be guests sleeping over at home tonight, he was so happy that his entire body lit up like the Sun.

Nangong Nuannuan felt a dull pain in her heart as she watched Grandpa Chi busy himself with Lil Sun and Lil Ling’er.

If only she were older, she could have given birth to two great-grandchildren to accompany him.

The worst thing in life was losing one’s father when one was young, losing one’s spouse when one was middle-aged, and losing one’s child when one was old.

Grandpa had experienced all three of them at the right age.

Therefore, she wanted her grandfather to live a happier life.

“Where’s Second Uncle? Why isn’t he home today?”

Usually, if Second Uncle was around, the house would definitely be tidied up. Even if there were guests, nothing would be in disarray.

Old Master Chi sighed.

“Grandpa, what happened to Second Uncle?”

“Your second uncle hasn’t been feeling well today, and he’s lying down in bed since noon. I told him to go to the hospital, but he refused adamantly.”

Nuannuan mentioned before that Chi Zeyao should not be in pain for a short while. However, seeing Zeyao in pain today made the old master very unhappy.

Nuannuan reached out to hold Old Master Chi’s hand and comforted him, “Grandpa, don’t be anxious. I’ll go up and see Second Uncle.”

“Okay, okay. Go up and see him.”

When Old Master Chi thought of Nuannuan’s miraculous acupuncture technique, the worry in his eyes lessened.

Seeing Nuannuan go upstairs, Old Master Chi wanted to follow her, but thinking that it was only courteous for him to accompany Old Master Nangong, he suppressed his urge to follow her and stayed back.

“Hurry up and take a look with her. You can listen to what’s going on at the same time too. Nuannuan’s heading back to Jiang District tomorrow. By then, you should at least know what’s going on, right?”
