The event ended, and the invited artists left one after another. Xia Xi put on her coat, and Ding Ruo helped her lift her skirt to get into the car. Cars drove away one after another. Xia Xi was about to get into the car, when a person ran out from behind, and rushed to the opposite side of the road in a panic. Running, the car behind started without noticing, Xia Xi quickly grabbed the man with her sharp eyes, the shoes she was wearing were too high, and they almost couldn't hold onto them and fell down together.

Xie Zhaoqin regained his composure, recognized Xia Xi, and hurriedly took two steps back.

"Thank you, Miss Xia."

"No problem." Seeing tears in her eyes, Xia Xi didn't say much, "Just go if you have something urgent."

After saying that, Xia Xi leaned over and lifted her skirt, and got into the car.

Xie Zhaoqin looked around, but didn't find his driver's car. Seeing that Xia Xi's car was about to start, he hurried over to stop it.

"Sorry Miss Xia, can you take me to the municipal hospital?"

"Yes." Xia Xi nodded slightly, and Xie Zhaoqin opened the passenger door and got into the car. Judging by her expression, something must have happened to her family.

Judging by her attire, she should also be a rich lady who was invited to participate in the event. As for why the driver is not there, that is her family's business.

Xie Zhaoqin clutched the corner of her skirt tightly. Just after receiving a call from her grandma, her grandpa suffered a myocardial infarction and was rushed to the hospital. He should be undergoing rescue at this time.

Grandpa's heart has always been bad, and he usually pays attention to taking medicine, but this time the attack happened suddenly, without any symptoms, and the whole family was terrified.

When he arrived outside the hospital, Xie Zhaoqin hurriedly left a thank you and ran into the hospital.

Outside the operating room of the hospital, grandma and uncle waited anxiously for the operation to end. Seeing Xie Zhaoqin coming, the old lady hurriedly held her hand, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping on the back of Xie Zhaoqin's hand.

"Zhaoer..."

Xie Zhaoqin raised her head again, with tears in her eyes, her uncle turned around and patted her on the shoulder.

"The doctor said it was delivered too late, and the chances of a successful rescue are very small. Zhao'er, it's uncle who didn't take good care of your grandfather..."

The three of them were restless and wandered outside the operating room for a long time before finally waiting for the doctor.

"The rescue was ineffective, and the patient passed away."

Xie Zhaoqin was stunned by the doctor's disappointed and guilty expression, and his words echoed in her mind over and over again. Grandma's crying and uncle's choking gradually drifted away from her ears. She ran into the ward and pulled grandpa Cold hands, grandpa's complexion is still rosy, his body is still warm after he died just now, he lay there quietly, as if he didn't die, but just fell asleep.

"Grandpa..." Xie Zhaoqin knelt by the bed, held Grandpa's hand, and cried uncontrollably.

The deceased has passed away, and the subsequent affairs have to be arranged one by one. Xie Zhaoqin didn't go home all night, so he took his grandfather home. Seeing his grandmother holding his grandfather's hand, he couldn't help crying again.

"Zhaoer, go home and clean up. Your grandfather may be cremated tomorrow."

Xie Zhaoqin nodded, went out and drove her grandfather's car home, looking at herself haggard in the rearview mirror, with disheveled hair and dark circles under her eyes, her eyes were red and bloodshot, she wiped away her tears, stopped the car and entered the house.

As soon as he entered the living room, Grandpa threw down his crutches and ran over. Seeing Xie Zhaoqin's haggard face, he asked worriedly.

"Zhaoer, what's wrong?"

"Zhaoqin, I'm sorry. I told Dongxin yesterday that I had too many things to carry and he asked the driver to pick me up. I didn't expect to delay your return home. I'm sorry..." Xu Guo stood behind the old man and bowed his head to apologize , face full of guilt, Xie Zhaoqin ignored it, she looked up at her grandfather's old face, and threw herself into his arms.

"Grandpa, grandpa passed away..."

There was a hoarse cry in her voice, and the old man's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, and then he was full of distress.

"Zhaoer, there is a grandpa, grandpa is here, grandpa is..."

The air in the living room was silent, only the sound of Xie Zhaoqin's sobbing was left for a while.

Desperate and powerless.

Xie Zhaoqin was tired from crying, went upstairs to take a shower and changed clothes, went downstairs and hurried out again, Xu Guo stood in the living room for a long time, feeling guilty, but didn't know how to speak.

The old man was sitting in the living room, his majestic face showing rare distress. He watched Xie Zhaoqin drive away, and then looked at Xu Guo who was standing beside him.

"In the future, the driver at home will be dedicated to Zhaoer. If you want to take a car, let Xie Dongxin arrange it for you."

His tone was slightly cold, but he still spoke mercilessly, Xu Guo knew that he didn't please the old man, not to mention that it was her fault in the first place, so she had to accept it.

Not long after, Xie Dongxin came home from the company and noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was not right, so he quickly put on a smile.

"Has Zhao'er come back?"

"You know what you've done!" The old man suddenly got angry, which startled both Xie Dongxin and Xu Guo. Xie Dongxin had never seen the old man get so angry before, and was a little stunned for a while.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

The old man was silent, sitting on the sofa flushed with anger, Xu Guo could only take the responsibility when he saw this.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't used the car last night, Zhao'er might have seen Grandpa for the last time..."

"The last side?" Xie Dongxin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his heart moved slightly, but when he saw Xu Guoli's guilty look with rain, he felt even more distressed, "It's not your fault, no one knew that such a thing would happen , Zhao'er is sensible, and won't blame you for this."

"Zhaoer is sensible?" The old man was furious, and he stood up with his cane and scolded Xie Dongxin, "If Zhaoer is not sensible, can you be bullied like this? Xie Dongxin, ask yourself, is your father doing too much? When did you think about it?" Zhao'er's thoughts?!"

"Dad, we didn't mean it either, so don't be angry." Xie Dongxin hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the old man, for fear of making him angry, "I'll go to Zhao'er's grandpa's house to see if there's anything I can do to help. Don't be angry."

The old man eased up a lot. Although he didn't want to, Xie Dongxin drove to Ren's house.

The Ren family was deserted, Xie Zhaoqin was with grandma, and uncle Ren Chao was busy with the death of grandpa. Someone rang the doorbell outside the door. Xie Zhaoqin glanced at the screen. It was Xie Dongxin. After turning off the screen, he ignored it. .

The air was silent, and grandma was tired from crying and fell asleep leaning against Xie Zhaoqin. Xie Dongxin rang the doorbell several times, but no one opened the door, but seeing a car parked at the door, he knew that someone must be there.

Since they don't appreciate it, why should he waste his precious time.

The funeral was simple, with only a few acquainted relatives and friends invited. Xie Zhaoqin saw his grandfather buried in peace, and his heart was rarely at peace.

In this world, people live decades from birth to death, and everyone's life is different. In the end, if you don't live for yourself, then this life is meaningless.

And she lived too cautiously in the past 20 years, desperately maintaining the image of an obedient and polite daughter, and never poured out her heartache and pain to others. She has lived enough of this kind of life, and it is time to make a change.

After the funeral was over, Xie Zhaoqin followed her grandfather home, her black skirt fluttering and the sky was gray, as if it was about to snow.

"Zhao'er, your grandma is the saddest when your grandpa passed away. She is old and is alone at home. You have to go back to accompany her often in the future."

"Grandpa, I want to move back to stay with grandma these days. Recently, she has been having nightmares about grandpa and crying when she wakes up. I'm worried." Xie Zhaoqin sighed softly and said.

"Okay." The old man stretched out his hand and patted his granddaughter's head, full of distress, "Good granddaughter, promise grandpa to take good care of yourself."

"Yeah." Xie Zhaoqin nodded, and a long-planned idea came to his mind, "Grandpa, I heard that the company's design department participated in a worldwide design competition, and my studio is also busy. I want to join the company. Representative Is it okay for the company to participate in the competition and win prizes to win glory for grandpa?"

"It's okay, it's just that with your current mood, grandpa is worried that you won't be able to cope with such a high-intensity game."

"Yes, grandpa. My childhood dream is to win awards with my designs, and to be a designer that everyone is familiar with." Xie Zhaoqin said firmly.

"Well, well, as expected of my granddaughter, she has ambition." The old man praised him endlessly, and Xie Zhaoqin walked with his grandfather, neither happy nor sad, with only one thought in his eyes.

The entire Xie family will eventually become in her hands.

She wants to be the sole master of the Xie family, and everyone has to be attached to her and submit to her. She wants Xie Dongxin and Xu Guo to become the appendages of others like she did in the previous 20 years. Let them regret it.

Early on Monday morning, the old man personally sent Xie Zhaoqin to Xie's company, took her to report to the design department, took the position of design director directly, and took the designers under him to compete abroad.

Although Xie Dongxin was unhappy, Xie Zhaoqin was his only daughter, and the Xie family could only be handed over to her in the end, so she didn't say anything.

Sitting in the design director's office, Xie Zhaoqin looked around, saw his name on the design director's sign, and smiled with satisfaction.

Sooner or later, her name will be on the signboard of the president of the Xie Group.

Although the popularity of the Ren family was not as good as before, Ren Ji's death caused quite a stir in the circle, and even reached the ears of Jiang Fengling who never cared about these rumors.

Xie Zhaoqin's grandfather passed away, and as a partner, he didn't receive any news.

Thinking about it from another angle, she must be very sad when her grandfather passed away.

Looking at the countless documents on the table, Jiang Fengling was inexplicably irritable, stretched out his hand and pushed, and chose to skip work.

Anyway, the wages are deducted, and he is not short of that money.

Walking halfway, Jiang Fengling suddenly thought that he forgot to ask for Xie Zhaoqin's number after a hasty goodbye last time.

Thinking that he has flirted with countless girls, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

In the end, they found her home, and heard from the servant that she had gone to work in the Xie family and had gone abroad.

After explaining to the servant for a long time that they were friends, they just wanted a phone number, but the servant was too defensive and lobbied for a long time, which was wasted.

Jiang Fengling drove back, a little disappointed.

It was the first time I found someone to rush to nothing. This kind of inexplicable feeling made people feel very itchy, very irritable, and inexplicably wanted to go crazy.
