Chapter 941, Confrontation between grandparents and grandchildren (please subscribe!)
With Yuan Mei's disturbance, the atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot.
After taking the tea, Wenhui put it aside and didn't drink it.
Old man Wen didn't drink either. He put the tea on the table, then pulled a chair and sat in front of the hospital bed.
Looking back and forth between the grandparent and grandson several times, Yuan Mei left the ward with insight, leaving space for the two. She knew that only the person involved could solve this situation, and staying there by herself would not help, and it might be a disservice.
When the door was closed, Mr. Wen finally spoke out, and asked concerned: "How does your body feel? Is there any discomfort?"
Wen Hui smiled gently, "Except for not being able to move a lot, everything is fine."
After carefully observing the state of his granddaughter, Mr. Wen asked kindly: "What's going on? Can you tell grandpa about it?"
"Ok."
Wen Hui hummed, knowing that she couldn't hide it, so she didn't bother, and narrated what happened at sea.
After finishing speaking, she slowly lowered her eyelashes and stopped making a sound, and the room fell into silence again.
Both of them knew that even if they tried to avoid it, Zhang Xuan's name still appeared in their conversation. This was a hurdle between grandparents and grandchildren.
After staring at his granddaughter's face for a while, Mr. Wen asked, "Who is that girl who came with you today?"
Wen Hui said: "Tao Ge."
A few seconds later, she added: "She is the eldest daughter of Tao Xian in Guangdong Province."
Old Man Wen asked calmly, "What is his relationship with xx's daughter?"
Wen Hui said truthfully: "Huang Li pursued him."
A word of "Guo", Mr. Wen nodded and didn't ask further questions.
Looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Mr. Wen thought about it and asked a key question: "He asked you to go to sea this time?"
Wen Hui said quietly: "I didn't refuse."
Wenhui answered very artistically, instead of saying "yes" directly, she expressed her attitude with "I did not refuse".
She used four words to convey a deeper meaning to Grandpa: to show that she knew why he asked herself to go? Show that you know his emotional status? But I still didn't refuse.
In other words: I know this is wrong, but I can't help myself.
Wen Hui took the initiative to take responsibility, hoping that Grandpa would not blame him.
Mr. Wen, who has so much life experience, naturally understood the hidden meaning of the words, and he said slowly for a long time: "Grandpa only has you as a granddaughter, and your parents only have one daughter. You are very good. Your parents and I have been together forever." I am proud of you, and the burden of our Wen family will fall on you in the future."
Wen Hui's long eyelashes moved a few times, but they still didn't open.
It may be thirsty, or it may be to further relieve the atmosphere. Mr. Wen took a big sip of tea and said with emotion:
"Time flies. Before you know it, you have graduated from college. We haven't sat together and chatted freely for a long time. I remember when you were young, you liked to pester your grandma the most, and let her hug you every day. You tell stories.
But her fate is not good, and she left before the end of her hard days. She is not lucky to see your achievements now, otherwise she will definitely be very happy. "
It has been almost 20 years since grandma passed away, and the memory of her is a bit long, even vague, but Wenhui still listened quietly.
Old Man Wen continued: "When your grandma was young, she was a famous beauty in Yangzhou City. She was born well and was highly educated. I met her because of our common photography hobby. At that time, I even had half a dollar in my pocket. No, the camera, test papers and tuition are all sponsored by your grandma.
I remember that night, when it was raining heavily and the wind was blowing, your grandma found me with a box in the middle of the night, wet all over, and she said let me take her away, take her away and fly away.
I invited her into the room and asked why she left suddenly?
She said that her family found a marriage for her, and the other party was a warlord son, she was unwilling, and then looked at me like that, I was very embarrassed at the time”
Wen Hui slowly opened her eyes when she heard her grandfather talk about the past for the first time.
Seeing that his granddaughter listened seriously, Old Man Wen continued: "Grandpa was in a difficult situation at the time because there was a frail mother and a grandma with a medicine jar at home."
Wen Hui was moved, and asked softly, "What happened next?"
Mr. Wen didn't answer at the first time. After a long time, he just sat in a daze on the chair for a long time before answering: "Later, I couldn't help her crying with pear blossoms in the rain, and I couldn't help the love and eagerness in my heart, so I took her home. , Then I took her, mother and grandma to the Shanghai market overnight.
Our family knew that only the foreign concessions in Shanghai had room for us to survive. "
Wen Hui grabbed the bed sheet with her right hand, feeling a little nervous for no reason.
Sure enough, the nervousness came true, and Mr. Wen said: "On the way, my grandma couldn't stand the toss and left. Three months after arriving in Shanghai, my mother fell ill due to the wind, food and sleep on the road. She never recovered and left. Let's go."
Wen Hui's eyes were moist when he heard this.
Once Mr. Wen finished talking about the past, he clicked to stop talking, and the house entered a period of silence for the third time.
He believed that with Huihui's cleverness, he would be able to figure out what he meant.
A few minutes later, Old Man Wen asked: "I was the one who asked you to leave CUHK to study in Shanghai Stock Exchange. Do you blame Grandpa?"
Wen Hui looked into Grandpa's eyes and said quietly: "I don't complain...just"
Wen Hui sighed softly: "If we don't leave CUHK, he and I may still be just friends, friends who dare not cross the line."
Hearing this, Mr. Wen was taken aback, and then the color in his eyes became much darker.
He understood that things had gone off track from the beginning, out of control, and what he thought was right turned out to be wrong.
He understands better: the granddaughter won his own army and brought back a city.
Wenhui asked: "Grandpa, did you blame grandma at that time?"
Old Man Wen was silent, he opened his mouth, and found that no answer was right.
If he complained, then his love for her for decades would become a joke, and his obsession with her would become a laughing stock.
If you say you don’t complain, then as a grandfather, you were self-willed and impulsive when you were young, and you didn’t take the lead, so what right do you have to say about the younger generation?
Wen Hui will lead another army, and the old man will be speechless.
Seeing that his face was not clear, Wen Hui showed signs of fatigue at the right time, lay down and said to the old man: "Grandpa, it's getting late, you should go home first, I want to sleep for a while."
The old man nodded, got up and pulled the quilt for her, and kindly instructed: "Rest in peace, call grandpa if you have something to do, grandpa will come to see you tomorrow."
Wen Hui said yes.
The old man condescended to look at the granddaughter on the bed, and then walked towards the door.
But when he opened the door, he stopped and asked without looking back: "You counted on Grandpa coming tonight, right?"
Wen Hui did not answer directly, but said tactfully: "Grandpa Gong has always respected you."
