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

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Although he was angry at his son Qin Liang for not living up to his expectations, he was still his own child after all.

From the very beginning he hoped that there would be harmony between him and Qin Ce.

Although their relationship is not as incompatible as before, this is also because they have experienced many things.

It was also these things that taught Qin Liang a lesson, and he truly understood many truths, but what did it matter if he understood them? It was too late to say anything now.

"I heard that Qin Ji's case has been handed over to the court for trial. It won't be long before a verdict is made, right?"

Qin Ce and Qiao Xing didn't think of telling Grandpa Qin about this matter.

Although Qin Ji deserved it, the old man was still upset when he heard these things at his old age.

But even though Qiao Xing and Qin Ce didn't say anything, Grandpa Qin still knew about it.

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment and asked Grandpa Qin, "How do you know about this?"

Grandpa Qin said, "It's hard not to know about this kind of thing. It's obviously our own business, and I don't know as much as others do."

When Qiao Xing heard this, he knew that Grandpa Qin probably heard this gossip from somewhere.

Since Grandpa Qin had already asked, Qiao Xing told him the truth.

Qin Ji’s matter is set in stone and there is no way to change it.

The crime may not be punishable by death, but he will definitely not be able to get out within a few years.

Grandpa Qin feels upset whenever he thinks about this matter.

He also didn't understand why Qin Ji and Qin Fei were two obedient and sensible children when they were young, but their personalities changed so much after they grew up.

Grandpa Qin felt that this was most likely related to Wang Yu.

How can they behave properly with a mother like Wang Yu around them?

Fortunately, Wang Yu has left the Qin family, so Grandpa Qin didn't say anything.

When Qin Liang insisted on marrying Wang Yu, he advised Qin Liang that Wang Yu was not a good person and that she might harm the entire Qin family, but Qin Liang did not listen.

If Qin Liang had been more sober and resolute at the beginning, the current situation would not have happened.

Grandpa Qin didn't feel sorry for Qin Liang or Wang Yu's departure. He was just heartbroken for the two children, Qin Ji and Qin Fei.

Fortunately, the baby in Qiao Xing's belly is healthy and safe now.

With the lessons learned from the past, Grandpa Qin's encouragement and expectations for Qin Ce inevitably became higher.

He said to Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, after your child is born, if Qin Ce doesn't take good care of you and your child, you must tell me. As long as I am still here at that time, I will definitely punish him! I will never let him become like his father!"

As soon as Qin Ce entered the ward, he heard the old man scolding him angrily. He was not responsible but he was burdened with a lot of blame.

"How did I become like my father?"

Qin Ce suddenly spoke up, startling Grandpa Qin. "You little brat! Why didn't you make any noise when you came in?"

Qin Ce said leisurely, "If you don't say bad things about me, how can I scare you?"

Grandpa Qin said with full energy, "When did I say anything bad about you? I'm telling the truth. If you let Xingxing and the baby in her belly suffer any injustice, I will be the first one to not forgive you!"

Qin Ce was very helpless. In any case, Grandpa Qin never believed from the beginning to the end that he would be 100% good to Qiao Xing.

I even thought that he would become like Qin Liang.

It's no wonder that Grandpa Qin would think so. With Qin Liang's previous experience as a lesson, how could he not be worried.

So Qin Ce could only promise Grandpa Qin, "Don't worry, if I dare to treat Qiao Xing badly, let alone you, I will not let myself go first."

Grandpa Qin felt satisfied only after hearing his promise.

"Anyway, you should weigh the importance of this matter yourself. No matter what happens at home in the future, you should always put Xingxing and her child first. You should always remember that men who love their wives will become prosperous."

Qiao Xing was amused by Grandpa Qin's words. She couldn't help but ask, "Where did you hear these words from, Grandpa?"

"Do you need to hear this kind of thing from others? These are the most basic principles for maintaining a long-term marriage." Grandpa Qin said seriously.

Qiao Xing looked like she was being taught a lesson. She looked at Qin Ce and said, "Did you hear that? Grandpa is teaching you. You must remember this in your heart."

Qin Ce said, "He has said these words countless times. I almost know them by heart."

Grandpa Qin said, "It won't do you any harm if you remember them all."

Qin Ce nodded and said, "Well, I've remembered everything, don't worry."

As Grandpa Qin was talking, he remembered another thing and asked Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, "I heard that Xiaoyi has a girlfriend recently?"

Qin Ce and Qiao Xing looked at each other, both with confusion on their faces.

Qin Ce asked Grandpa Qin, "Where did you hear this from?"

"He came to the hospital to see me two days ago. I heard him talking on the phone with a very happy smile. From his expression, it was obvious that he was talking to a girl on the phone. Tell me which girl this kid has a crush on?"

Qin Ce never asked about Qin Yi's affairs, let alone his emotional affairs.

Compared to Qin Ce, Qiao Xing might know more about this matter, so Qin Ce looked directly at Qiao Xing.

Grandpa Qin also looked at Qiao Xing and asked, "Xingxing, do you know something? Tell me quickly so that I can gossip about it."

Qiao Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandpa, when did you become interested in these things?"

"From what you said, you must know something. Tell grandpa quickly."

Qiao Xing said, "I'm not too sure about this. I heard Xiaoyi mention it twice before, but I'm not sure if they are boyfriend and girlfriend. But seeing that every time Xiaoyi mentions her, his expression is different, I guess it's almost certain."

Qiao Xing said, and added, "I remember the girl's name seemed to be Chen Duo."

When Master Qin heard the name, he seemed to remember it. "Is it the child from the Chen family? I remember Xiao Ce's father tried to bring these two together before, but it didn't work out, right?"

Qiao Xing shook his head. "I don't know about that. I just know that Xiaoyi and her seem to have a good relationship. They have been playing games together before. As for how far the relationship has developed, I didn't ask much. I guess Xiaoyi wouldn't tell me."

Grandpa Qin seemed very happy to hear this, "Then they must be together. This child has had few friends of the opposite sex since he was a child. I don't know if he doesn't like them or if no one likes his personality. If he really makes friends with a girl, I guess he really has that kind of thought."

Grandpa Qin speculated and pondered, "I have seen the Chen family's child once or twice. She is very pretty and a good girl. I just don't know if she will like Xiaoyi."
