After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Sheng Yao walked over slowly. She could no longer hide it, so she could only say honestly, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I won't dare to do it again next time..."

Mr. Sheng was so angry that he almost jumped up, "Do you want to do it again?"

Sheng's father and mother quickly stopped him, fearing that he would get so angry that he would really attack Sheng Yao.

Although the possibility of taking action is basically zero.

"What else are you hiding from us?" Mr. Sheng asked angrily.

Sheng Yao was too guilty to even look Old Man Sheng in the eye, and was unwilling to admit, "No more..."

She roared inwardly.

Oh my God, how come Mr. Sheng knows everything!
Old Master Sheng stared at Sheng Yao motionlessly, "I'll give you one more chance. If you still want to hide it, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Sheng Yao knew that Mr. Sheng was just trying to scare her. From childhood to adulthood, Mr. Sheng had never said a harsh word to her.

But in the current situation, it is obvious that Mr. Sheng already knows about it, and even if Sheng Yao doesn't say it, she can't hide it anymore.

She muttered, "I...I called Uncle Zhang..."

"what?"

Sheng's mother and father were completely unaware of this matter.

They only knew that Sheng Yao sneaked out to meet Shen Boyan, but they didn't expect that she actually contacted Professor Zhang without telling them.

Old Master Sheng snorted coldly and said to the couple, "Look at what your precious daughter has done. She is so young, but she has already started to learn how to act like an adult!"

Father Sheng's expression also turned serious, "Yaoyao, you are fooling around."

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I'm an adult now, can you please stop treating me like a child?" Sheng Yao retorted in a low voice, "Besides, I'm not messing around, I'm just helping."

Mother Sheng patted her arm and said, "Say less."

Grandpa Sheng knocked his cane on the floor loudly. "You helped? Who did you help? It was that brat. You ran to Yucheng for him, and now that you've finally come back, you're making a fuss about it. How long are you going to go crazy for that brat?"

Sheng Yao knew that when Mr. Sheng scolded her, it was just lip service.

In fact, he didn't think so at all.

So even though Sheng Yao was scolded, she was not afraid of Mr. Sheng at all.

"Grandpa, such a big thing happened to the Shen family. Shen Boyan is so pitiful. I just want to help him. If I tell you, you won't agree. I have no choice but to contact them secretly..."

Sheng Yao acted coquettishly to Grandpa Sheng, "Grandpa, please don't be angry, okay? You have always taught me that no matter what I do or how I live, I must have a kind heart. I am doing a good deed now, and you should be happy."

Old Master Sheng glanced at her and said, "You are right. You remember what I taught you. Why didn't you listen to me when I told you not to go looking for that boy?"

"I'm not being unreasonable. I just don't want you to have such a big prejudice against Shen Boyan. After all, he is someone I like..."

Father Sheng frowned and said, "Yaoyao, you are a girl, don't keep saying such things, you will be laughed at."

"It's a joke, but there's nothing wrong with liking someone. Anyway, I must be with Shen Boyan no matter what."

"You!" Old Master Sheng was so angry that his face turned green, "What kind of magic potion did this kid give you?" Sheng Yao thought, if only he really gave her the potion, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to chase him.

"Oh, Grandpa, since you want me to get married anyway, it doesn't matter who I marry. It's better to find someone I like than to be with someone I don't like."

Every time Sheng Yao spoke like this, Old Master Sheng was at a loss as to what to do with her.

His expression softened, but his tone was still very bad, "Alright, alright, we haven't even started yet, stop talking about marriage all the time. Even if I want to marry you, I have to give my approval!"

Sheng Yao tried to coax him with nice words, "Yes, yes, grandpa treats me the best. I know that grandpa just can't bear to let me go and doesn't want me to get married, right?"

"Go, go, go away, you little heartless person, who would be reluctant to part with you?"

Old Master Sheng tapped Sheng Yao on the head gently. "I'm telling you, this is the only time you've done this. If I find out again that you did this for that kid, I won't scold you, I'll find someone to take care of that kid!"

"No! Grandpa, he's having a hard time now, please don't bully him."

"You still protect it?"

Sheng Yao saw that something was wrong and quickly ran away, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I'm sleepy. I'm going upstairs to sleep first. Good night!"

Sheng Yao ran upstairs without looking back.

Mr. Sheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, "The child has grown up, and I can't keep him anymore."

Mother Sheng and Father Sheng looked at each other, and Father Sheng comforted Grandpa Sheng, "I know you love her, but sooner or later she will have to get married. Although Shen Boyan is a loner, he is still a good person. He is better than those rich kids with bad behavior."

Mother Sheng also said, "Yes, Dad, we all know the Shen family. Seeing Yaoyao like this, I guess she won't give up Shen Boyan. Just let her go."

Old Master Sheng snorted, "You parents are quite open-minded."

Father Sheng smiled and said, "What can I do if I can't let it go? Don't you want to watch her cry all day long? Don't you feel bad for her?"

In fact, it’s not that Grandpa Sheng can’t tolerate Shen Boyan. He just feels so sad when he thinks that his precious granddaughter, whom he holds so dearly in his hands, will become someone else’s.

But what Sheng's father said was right. Girls will get married sooner or later, and Sheng Yao has made up her mind to be with Shen Boyan.

She went to Yucheng just to chase Shen Boyan. If she really didn't agree, she might do something crazy.

Old Master Sheng sighed deeply, but in the end said nothing and went upstairs on his crutches.

Mother Sheng looked at his old back and felt a little distressed. "Dad really couldn't bear to leave Yaoyao. Even though he was so angry, he couldn't bear to scold her. But Yaoyao liked Shen Boyan so much, and she wouldn't listen to anything I said."

Father Sheng also sighed, "Yes, but there is nothing we can do. Yaoyao has grown up now and has her own ideas. As long as Shen Boyan doesn't bully her, we will let her be. As long as she is happy, that's all."

……

Grandpa Qin had just spent one day in the hospital when he felt he could no longer sit still.

There were two caregivers looking after him. One was a little older, probably in his thirties. He didn't talk much, but he kept walking around, always busy.

Grandpa Qin occasionally asked her a few questions, and she would answer, and then continue to work.

The other one is younger, looks about the same age as Qiao Xing, has a good personality, and always chats with Grandpa Qin. (End of this chapter)
