Old Master was very satisfied with Shang Qiqi’s life over the years.

She had also received confirmation from Han Jichi.

She lived well and healthily. She studied hard and had good interpersonal relationships.

“You’re finally back. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to see you again!”

“Grandpa.” Shang Qiqi held Old Master’s hand tightly. “You’ll live to a ripe old age!”

The old man smiled. “How can there be such a good thing…”

“Yes.” Shang Qiqi insisted. “You’re worth it. Even if I give you my life…”

“You silly child… You’ve received higher education. How can you say such silly things?”

Old Master didn’t like what Shang Qiqi said, but he couldn’t hide his gratitude.

“I heard from Ji Chi that you want to stay overseas to teach… Will you not stay in the country for long?”

Shang Qiqi smiled and shook her head. “I’ll stay in the country for the time being. They’ve specially given me a plan. I’ll be the special professor there and exchange resources with the professors at T University.”

The old man asked doubtfully, “What do you mean?”

“The teacher from T University went to Country Y. I returned to T University to work.”

This explanation made the old man overjoyed.

“Okay, okay, okay. That’s for the best. You can stay by Grandpa’s side from now on…”

“But Grandpa, I’ll accompany you during the holidays. But if I have to work, I might have to live outside alone…”

The old man was stunned and didn’t support her. “Why do you want to live alone?”

“Because it’s more convenient to go to work. But don’t worry, Grandpa. As long as I have time, I’ll definitely come back to accompany you!”

At this moment, the butler instructed someone to replenish the snacks. Seeing the Old Master’s unhappy expression, he smiled and said,

“Old Master, young people should be given some freedom. Besides being convenient for work, it’s also convenient for dates…”

Old Master’s gaze immediately landed on Han Jichi.

Han Jichi was a little embarrassed by the unexpected stare, but she still smiled and said,

“… Of course I’m selfish… I support Qiqi’s decision…”

The old man was elated. “That’s true…”

Seeing that the old man was happy, the butler coughed lightly and asked carefully,

“Then… should we inform Young Master to come back tonight?”

The smile on the old man’s face instantly turned cold, and the atmosphere in the living room froze.

Everyone looked at Shang Qiqi.

Shang Qiqi’s expression did not change. Instead, she asked, “Little Uncle… what’s wrong?”

Shang Yekun pursed his lips and waved his hand. “No need! Coming back will only cause trouble for me. Just like usual, if he wants to come back, then come back. If he doesn’t, then forget it. He won’t make me lower myself to invite him back!”

The butler sighed softly and went back to work.

“Grandpa, you and Uncle…”

Shang Yekun interrupted her. “It has nothing to do with you. Annoy him. All these years, his temper has been getting worse and worse. I get angry whenever I see him. Don’t mention him.”

Shang Qiqi nodded and didn’t say anything.

Old Master secretly observed Shang Qiqi’s expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her expression, he had mixed feelings.

She felt relieved and helpless.

After all these years, it seemed that she had really done it…

Shang Qiqi indeed had nothing to ask.

She had occasionally heard about the development of Ping Cheng City in the past two years.

Naturally, Shang Qingmo was mentioned.

Speaking of the Bo family, even Fanxing was involved. Then, Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen were implicated. Speaking of Li Tingshen, it was inevitable that he could not leave the entertainment industry and the media. When it came to the media, one naturally had to mention the television star, Hua Chen’s CEO, Shang Qingmo.

All these years, she had never deliberately inquired about him.

At first, she was a little conflicted, but she slowly learned to accept it.

From the initial panic to the calmness later.

She had heard of something about him, but she had never bothered to find out.

He was doing well.

After all, he was her uncle. No problem was difficult for him.

He never needed anyone to worry about him.

“Ji Chi, stay for dinner tonight!”

Not wanting Shang Qingmo to affect the mood and atmosphere, Old Master changed the topic.

Han Jichi glanced at Shang Qiqi and shook his head with a smile. “Qiqi has just returned, so I won’t disturb your chat. Rest early.”

It was fine if she didn’t say anything. Speaking of which, Han Ji stood up.

The old man stayed a few more times, but Han Jichi still left.

Shang Qiqi sent him out.

The moment she stepped out of the door, she saw that the scorching hot weather had already darkened.

The scattered dark clouds in the sky stuck together bit by bit, and the wind blew.

“Indeed, the weather in the country is the most unpredictable…”

Shang Qiqi sighed. “Alright, hurry up and leave. Drive carefully.”

Han Jichi nodded. “Stay at home and accompany Grandpa Shang for the next few days. I’ll fetch you to school in two days.”

Shang Qiqi nodded and replied calmly, “Okay.”

A gust of wind blew, causing Shang Qiqi’s white dress to flutter. The hair on her shoulders was blown in front of her, and her face was messy.

Han Jiqian reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear. He lowered his gaze and stared at her for a long time. His gaze was gentle as his fingers brushed against her soft cheek.

“Hurry up and go in. Don’t catch a cold again.”

“Yeah.”

In the end, Shang Qiqi watched his car leave before turning around and walking into the villa.

*

Dinner was Shang Qiqi’s favorite before.

Shang Qiqi had indeed been thinking about this. She had also eaten all the food that Old Master had given her.

After dinner, Old Master didn’t look for her to chat and urged her to rest.

Shang Qiqi didn’t insist. She was indeed very tired. She entered the house and opened her luggage. Without packing, she took out her pajamas and entered the bathroom.

When she came out, she turned off all the alarms on her phone and muted them. She listened to the sound of the rain outside and slept soundly under the blanket.

When she woke up again, it was the next day.

After surviving the jet lag on the plane, her sleep schedule had adapted to the country.

She stayed at home with the Old Master for two days and the rain kept falling.

Occasionally, it was heavier. Most of the time, it was drizzling.

There were many plants in the manor. The leaves that had turned white and gray from the heat of the sun on the day she returned looked especially fresh and vibrant from the rain.

Shang Qiqi liked the feeling of being reborn and being reborn.

Coupled with the smell of the soil, the air smelled fresh and natural.

However, the old man didn’t like rainy days.

Especially an old man like Old Master Shang, who felt uncomfortable every time it rained.

Old people tended to avoid doctors.

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she resisted the urge to go to the hospital.

Ever since it rained, the old butler had been frowning.

Shang Qiqi stayed at home to accompany the Old Master for two days. It was only when she saw the Old Master’s mental state deteriorating that she realized that he had been putting on a brave front.

After knowing the situation, Shang Qiqi insisted on getting a doctor to take a look…

In the end, she was afraid that the Old Master was hiding something from her, so she insisted on bringing him to the hospital for a full checkup.

The butler was very supportive and arranged the matter immediately.

When they arrived at the hospital, there were a few doctors in white coats waiting at the entrance.

Shang Qiqi still had an impression of the tall and beautiful woman with a ponytail.

Song Yunshu.

After not seeing her for a few years, she seemed to have changed a lot. In addition to her innate confidence, there was also a sense of accomplishment and confidence that came from her professional achievements.

Dressed in a white coat, he looked steady and serious.

Seeing them get out of the car, Song Yunshu walked over quickly, followed by two interns in wheelchairs.

“Uncle, are you feeling unwell?”

Old Master Shang waved his hand and stubbornly refused to sit in the wheelchair. “It’s an old illness that makes you uncomfortable on rainy days. Qiqi, you’re making a fuss!”

Song Yunshu disagreed. “You’re the one who’s afraid of treatment. You have to tell me immediately if you’re feeling unwell. I’m in the hospital and I’m a doctor. If you delay it like this… not only will Qingmo blame me, but I’ll also feel bad!”

Old Master Shang exhaled heavily, as if he was impatient at the mention of Shang Qingmo.

However, she still sat in the wheelchair.

Song Yunshu straightened her body and gave Shang Qiqi a polite and distant smile.

“You’re back.”

“Yes, hello, Auntie.”

Song Yunshu’s reaction was understandable.

It was normal for her to have too much.

She didn’t know much about Song Yunshu, but compared to their hypocritical intimacy, she was much more at ease.

“Grandpa has been feeling unwell these few days. I want to give him a full body checkup!”

Song Yunshu pursed her lips. “Leave it to me.”

Shang Qiqi stuffed her hands into her pockets and nodded. “Thank you, Aunt.”

After the full physical examination, it took a long time for the various departments to run.

However, perhaps because Song Yunshu had arranged everything in advance, some inspections went smoothly.

When the old man entered the room, Song Yunshu and Shang Qiqi were waiting outside.

The two of them chatted for a while.

Song Yunshu put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and smiled faintly. “When did you come back? Why didn’t I receive the news in advance?”

“I was afraid that Grandpa would cause trouble, so I didn’t tell anyone.”

“I heard that the school thinks highly of you and wants to keep you as a special tutor?”

“Yes.”

Song Yunshu looked at the nuclear magnetic field room through the glass and asked casually, “Are you back for the summer vacation or?”

Shang Qiqi pursed her lips and paused for two seconds before saying, “I’m spending the summer break temporarily. I can’t rule out the possibility that I’ll stay in the country forever. It depends on the situation.”

Song Yunshu frowned slightly. “Does your uncle know that you’re back?”

Shang Qiqi felt that this question was a little strange. Song Yunshu and Shang Qingmo were so close. Did he know that she was back? Did she really not know?

“… I don’t know.”

Song Yunshu’s smile widened and his tone sounded strange to Shang Qiqi. “He has always missed you.”

The only thing Shang Qiqi could think of was that she had left him behind and angered him back then. He must have wanted to teach her a lesson.

At this moment, a notification came from the nuclear magnetic field. The two of them didn’t speak anymore. They opened the door and walked in.

Next was the heart ultrasound. After sending the old man into the ultrasound room, he saw a tall man walking quickly towards him.

Shang Qiqi was stunned for a moment. Song Yunshu, who had followed her out, smiled and walked in front of her. She looked at the man walking towards her and said,

“You’re here?”

Shang Qing’s cold gaze swept across Shang Qiqi’s face. Without any pause, he looked at Song Yunshu and frowned.

“What’s going on?”

“You don’t have to worry too much. A few important indicators are still normal. The old man’s cartilage is worn out, his joints are old, and the weather is humid. It’s unbearable.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Qingmo only nodded with a frown and acknowledged lightly.

After that, no one spoke and the atmosphere turned awkward.

Song Yunshu smiled and held Shang Qingmo’s arm. “I heard from Qiqi that you don’t know that she’s back. Let’s have a meal together when you’re free.”

Shang Qingmo’s gaze did not leave Shang Qiqi at all. Her voice was cold as she asked, “When will the results be out?”

“In an hour.”

“Yeah.”

After that, there was silence.

Shang Qiqi stood at the entrance of the examination room with her shoulders leaning against the wall. She didn’t look at Shang Qingmo anymore. She clasped her hands in front of her and stared calmly at the skirting line on the opposite wall, waiting quietly for Old Master Shang to finish his examination.

The ultrasound didn’t take long. The moment the Old Master came out, Shang Qiqi went up to him.

Shang Qingmo and Song Yunshu followed closely behind.

When Old Master saw Shang Qingmo, his face darkened.

“What are you doing here?”

Song Yunshu smiled helplessly and said, “Uncle, don’t be like this. I called Qingmo over.”

Shang Yekun snorted coldly. “I can live a few more days if I don’t see him often.”

Shang Qiqi was shocked by Old Master’s attitude towards Shang Qingmo. At home, she thought that Old Master was just saying that.

From the looks of it, the situation was indeed serious.

Seeing that Shang Qingmo was silent, Shang Qiqi hurriedly asked Song Yunshu, “Aunt, what’s next?”

“Why are you still checking? Stop!”

“Grandpa…”

“Stop talking and go home!”

Seeing the old man’s insistence, Song Yunshu could only say, “Then let’s go back first. Uncle has a record of every physical examination. This time, it’s most likely an old man’s illness. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t rain. I’ll get someone to arrange for some medicine later…”

“Then let’s go back after we get the medicine…”

“I’m not waiting anymore! I’m going home immediately!” Old Master said angrily again. Song Yunshu glanced at Shang Qiqi helplessly.

“You guys can go back first. I’ll send it over later.”

Shang Qiqi was silent for two seconds before compromising. “Thank you, Aunt.”

After saying that, she glanced at Shang Qingmo. Seeing that he didn’t react, her lips moved. Thinking of his attitude just now, she didn’t want to embarrass herself. In the end, she didn’t say anything and pushed the old man’s wheelchair away.

Old Master wasn’t in a good mood along the way. For the first time, Shang Qiqi felt that the rain outside the car wasn’t stopping.

Fortunately, the sun rose in the evening.

Regardless of whether he was sad or not, Shang Yekun’s mood improved after seeing that the rain had stopped.

At night, Shang Qiqi coaxed her to eat more.

Shang Qiqi had been waiting for Song Yunshu to send the medicine back. In order to ensure that the Old Master could take the medicine after dinner, she even got the butler to call her before dinner.

Now that dinner was over and the ground was damp, she couldn’t take Grandpa for a walk. She could only play chess in the living room and wait for the medicine.

The old man was probably in too much pain these few days and didn’t have much energy, so he went upstairs to rest.

Shang Qiqi could only sit in the living room and continue waiting. She fiddled with the chess pieces on the chessboard in boredom and occasionally replied with a message.

Not long after, there was movement outside.

She stood up, wanting to welcome him.

The servant at the door called out “Young Master” and Shang Qiqi froze.

Shang Qingmo walked in with a cold expression. His eyes, which had not given her any attention at the hospital, were staring at her coldly.

She was flustered by his gaze that seemed to want to cut her into pieces. She pursed her lips and called out softly, “Uncle.”

Shang Qingmo threw the bag of medicine on the coffee table.

Then, his cold gaze landed on her face again.

“Who allowed you to come back?”

Shang Qiqi pursed her lips tightly. The thought of being a junior gradually faded.

“I have to come back. I promised Grandpa…”

Shang Qingmo interrupted her coldly, “What did you promise him? You promised to come back two years ago. Did you do it?”

Shang Qiqi clenched her fists, speechless.

“Perhaps four years is nothing to you, but you probably haven’t thought about how many more four years your grandfather has!”

Shang Qiqi already felt guilty towards Old Master Shang. Shang Qingmo’s straightforward accusation made her feel as if someone had squeezed her heart tightly. She instinctively cowered and felt terrible.

But…

She took a deep breath and seemed to have adjusted her emotions. She looked up at Shang Qingmo.

“I know I’ve let Grandpa down, that’s why I want to come back. Since you’ve accused me for four years, Uncle, please reflect on yourself. Why do you and your father treat each other like enemies? If there’s a chance, you should be filial, right?”

“Why?” Shang Qingmo’s eyes were as dark as an icy abyss. “…What right do you have to criticize me?”

“Then don’t you have double standards?”

Shang Qingmo suddenly sneered and took two steps closer to her. The cold murderous aura around him shocked Shang Qiqi.

His dark eyes stared straight into hers. He had done nothing wrong, but he seemed to have cast a spell on her to force her to look into his eyes.

“Why did you leave all these years? Don’t you understand? You can choose to use distance and time to forget certain people and things, and so can others. In fact, even after you left home for so many years, your so-called grandfather is still alive and well. No one can’t leave each other.”

Shang Qiqi bit her lip. “No matter what you say, as long as Grandpa doesn’t chase me away and he still likes me, I won’t leave easily…”

“But I don’t want to see you.”
