Lian Jing brought Shen Yin to the hospital after she accepted his proposal.

Old Master Lian had just woken up. He was still a little sickly and pale, but his eyes were lively. When he saw Shen Yin, a smile appeared on his old face.

Shen Yin was shocked to see Old Master Lian in this state.

It had only been a few days since they last met. She really could not imagine how much of a blow this old man had suffered in such a short period of time. He seemed to have shrunk, like a lush old tree that was on the verge of withering.

Lian Meng threw herself on the bed, tears streaming down her face. She hugged Old Master Lian and started crying.

The Old Master slowly raised his hand that still had an IV line inserted in it and patted her back with a smile. “Meng Meng, I’m fine. Don’t be afraid. I won’t leave without seeing you happily married.”

“Grandpa, you must get well. My brother has just proposed to Sister-in-law. You might even have a second great-grandson!” Lian Meng looked at the old man on the bed hopefully.

The young girl was struck again by the weightiness of life.

She had been a young girl when her parents passed away, and did not understand what death meant to a person and a family.

But now, she could truly feel the heartache. She had not realized that losing someone she loved could be so painful. No wonder her brother, who was always cold and expressionless, would secretly look at their photo and cry in the dark.

Lian Jing walked over and mercilessly pulled Lian Meng aside, forcing her sit properly on a chair. “Now that you know Grandpa is in poor health, you should behave yourself better. Don’t always go out and fool around with others.”

Lian Meng raised her head and glared at him unhappily. She pouted and said, “I’m not fooling around. I’m discussing business matters, okay?”

Lian Jing ignored her. He pulled Shen Yin and Shen Nian to Old Master Lian’s side. “Grandpa, when you’re discharged from the hospital, Yin Yin and I will hold our wedding.”

Shen Nian ran to the bed obediently and smiled sweetly and cutely. “Great-grandfather, Mommy and Daddy are finally going to be together. You must get better.”

Old Master Lian hugged Shen Nian happily and looked at the two children by the bed with tears in his eyes. He smiled happily and said, “Alright, alright, alright. I will definitely get better. Great-grandfather still wants to watch Nian Nian grow up.”

This time, he had become ill after Fu Ting’s wrongdoings had over-agitated him. He exercised every day and if not for this incident, he could still live healthily for a few more years.

This time, his recovery was slow. Even though his health had greatly improved after a month, he was still panting when he walked. The butler had moved his room from the second to the first floor because the Old Master felt stifled when he took the elevator.

By the time Lian’e returned, the preparations for Lian Jing’s wedding were almost complete. She looked at the invitation that was sent to her and ground her teeth in anger.

Actually, she had wanted to come back when her son was in trouble, but something had happened at the company at that time, delaying her by a month.

She suspected that Lian Jing was also behind this. His goal was to delay her return so that she would not cause trouble for him before the wedding. The moment Lian’e and Fu Xiao got off the plane, they went to the prison to see their son.

Before Fu Ting turned himself in, his mental state was already poor because of Old Master Lian. Now, coupled with the hard life in prison, he had grown sickly and lifeless.

Lian’e’s heart ached when she saw this. She had tried to use her connections to use money to reduce her son’s sentence, but nothing came of it. She had offered a million yuan in cash, but no one would take it. It was obvious that

Lian Jing had given instructions.

Lian’e had no choice but to bring Fu Xiao to beg Lian Jing.

It was spring. Shen Yin was in the living room, choosing a wedding dress. Shen Nian was obediently playing chess with Old Master Lian. Lian Meng was nowhere to be found, and the male lead of the wedding had driven off because an urgent matter had arisen in the office.

When Lian’e arrived, she heard the Old Master laughing in the room. Her face was instantly filled with smiles. “Dad, I’m relieved to see that you’re in a much better mood and you also look much better.”

Fu Xiao also paid his compliments and handed the things he was holding to the butler before following his wife into the living room.

When Old Master Lian saw them, he called them over jovially. “Come, have a look. Nian Nian’s chess skills are about to surpass mine. I won by a hair’s breadth just now.”

Lian’e did not understand these things. She only felt that a child like him would not know how to play chess and he had almost won because the Old Master doted on him and let him have his way. A trace of disdain flashed across her eyes. “Dad, Nian Nian takes after you when it comes to intelligence. However, children must not be spoiled. If he’s raised to be too arrogant, it’ll be difficult to control him when he grows up.”

She was implying that Old Master Lian had deliberately lost to Shen Nian to make the child happy.

Her words not only displeased Old Master Lian, even Shen Nian’s obedient face darkened. However, because she was his elder, he could only pout and walk to his mother’s side without a word..
