Chapter 1239: That Utterly Dejected Look
"Is it him?" The Old Master gathered his thoughts briefly and soon looked at Xia Yinian, his brow slightly furrowed, "Can you explain the relationship between Nian Nian and Beicheng?"An elderly person’s observational skills don’t diminish with age.
On the contrary, because they’ve experienced much more than most people, they can see things that others cannot.
"I..." Xia Yinian pursed her lips slightly and lowered her head a little embarrassed.
After a light cough, she whispered, "He’s been very good to me, it seems for quite a long time now."
"And the marriage arrangement between Brother Ling Qian and me has been canceled, and that’s our agreement, all explained clearly."
"Was it the old man from the Gu Family who looked down on our Nian Nian?" Feng Heng raised an eyebrow and said blandly.
"But my Nian Nian not only won the affection of his grandson but also charmed his son, that old man’s sure to be furious!"
Speaking about his proud granddaughter, the old man, who had just been angry because Gu Qingyang looked down on Nian Nian, quickly replaced his anger with a smile.
"Grandpa, please don’t say that." Xia Yinian smiled, holding his hand, "Seventh Young Master has saved me multiple times, I can’t think of any reason he would want to harm me."
"So, if Seventh Young Master is indeed behind Xia Chuxue’s matter, you wouldn’t actually be mad at him, right?"
"Of course I’d be mad." Feng Heng’s voice sank again, "If it weren’t for him, we might have recognized each other sooner."
"But... if it weren’t for Seventh Young Master, the kidnapped person might have been me." Xia Yinian gently pressed her lips.
These two men are so important to her, Xia Yinian naturally hopes there’s no rift between them.
Remembering how Xia Chuxue nearly lost her life last time and thinking about her current situation, logically, the Old Master shouldn’t really blame Gu Beicheng.
But, if he had really drowned in the pond last time, would he have never had the chance to connect with Nian Nian?
So, it’s impossible not to be angry at all.
"Nian Nian, for now, we must remain silent about this matter. Call Ah Yen and tell him I’ve woken up, that’s all."
"Okay." Xia Yinian nodded.
"If it’s not the right time yet, and Grandpa doesn’t plan to restore your identity so soon, would you have any concerns?" Feng Heng continued.
Xia Yinian shook her head, looking earnestly at the elderly man on the bed.
"No concerns at all, reconnecting with Grandpa is my greatest joy, other things aren’t important."
"But you’ve just woken up, and if Xia Chuxue returns, or if her accomplices find out you’re awake, wouldn’t Grandpa be in danger again?"
"Xia Chuxue managed to evade so many people’s attention, even avoided all monitoring to harm you, I think she still has allies in the Feng Family."
Feng Heng meditated for a while, then nodded lightly.
"Say I’ve woken up, but not even you recognize me. We’ll make decisions once Ah Yen returns; this lad won’t harm me, don’t worry."
"I trust Third Brother too, he definitely isn’t behind Xia Chuxue." Xia Yinian said softly.
"After you fainted, Xia Chuxue brought out Grandma’s bracelet, claiming you asked Third Brother to clear her name, even saying you wanted Third Brother to marry her."
"Third Brother looked utterly forlorn, even I felt painful just seeing it, so he must have no other connection with Xia Chuxue."
She patted the Old Master’s hand and stood up.
"I’ll go make a call first."
