Chapter 422: Chapter 420
Who would have thought that Mom had such an impressive family background? Now the old lady can finally shut up.
"Grandfather." Qiao Qiqi also called out seriously.
"Master, this is fate! When you fainted outside the school back then, it was Miss Qiqi who saved you." The old butler was more excited than the family head himself.
Elder Rong nodded, feeling that this was indeed fate. Thanks to Qiqi, he was able to reunite with his daughter in his lifetime and fulfill the promise to his beloved, achieving his own wish.
Qiqi was indeed his little lucky star.
Qiao Yue’er felt Elder Rong’s indifference toward her, yet he was so kind to that pair of siblings, and she was very unwilling to accept it! Why, when they were all granddaughters, was the old man so cold to her?
"I’ll go accompany Mom." Qiao Yue’er, seeing that no one was paying her any attention, found an excuse to leave and turned to enter the ward.
Elder Rong frowned and glanced over, saying, "This girl has an unrighteous mind; it’s better to send her away sooner rather than later!"
After all, he had just reunited with his daughter, so there were some things he couldn’t say too much about.
"Grandfather, you don’t know, but my mom likes her quite a lot! We dare not say too much." Qiao Jiezhe explained, very much admiring this grandfather who could see right through people.
"Grandfather, don’t mind her. She’s just a person of no consequence." Qiao Qiqi replied calmly, as Qiao Yue’er was now no longer a threat.
"As long as Qiqi knows what she’s doing." Elder Rong nodded in satisfaction, finding himself more and more fond of this granddaughter.
Qiao Yaozu went to consult with the doctor, and upon returning and seeing his father-in-law coming out, he was nervous and rubbed his hands together, as it was his first time meeting his father-in-law.
"Dad." Qiao Yaozu sweetly called out, which actually improved Elder Rong’s attitude towards him quite a bit.
"Jiezhe, go in with your dad to accompany your mom, I have something to discuss with Qiqi."
Qiao Yaozu and Qiao Jiezhe went inside, while Qiao Qiqi helped Elder Rong to a nearby chair to sit down.
"Qiqi, what do you think of Rong Hua?" As Elder Rong mentioned the adopted daughter, his gaze became cold, which was also why he didn’t like Qiao Yue’er, because the adopted daughters had caused quite a few issues.
"Grandfather, I suspect that mom’s memory loss is related to Rong Hua... Not only that, I even think mom’s disappearance years ago might have been Rong Hua’s doing. Over the years, she has been monitoring mom, and the reason she took such drastic actions against her is because my brother and I went to the Rong Family, which made her feel threatened." Qiao Qiqi shared her thoughts openly.
There was nothing to hide from Elder Rong, his intentions were clear – he only wanted to reunite with his biological daughter.
Elder Rong clenched his cane, his expression darkening, "Your analysis is very accurate, and I think so too. I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly, and if it’s really related to Rong Hua, I won’t let her off!"
"Grandfather, there’s no need to harm your health because of someone like her; if she truly did it, the law will punish her." Qiao Qiqi didn’t want the elderly man to get overly worried or upset.
Elder Rong was very gratified to hear her say that, worrying that the young girl might be too impulsive in her actions.
"Qiqi, tell your grandfather the truth, Rong Hua’s injury..."
"Grandfather, I feel there are matters of varying urgency and importance, and legal punishment takes too long. So, sometimes using some unconventional means is just a natural human response!" Qiao Qiqi’s youthful face looked earnest as she spoke to the old man.
