The old man's hand was very strong, holding me tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, which made me clearly feel that the old man's mood at this moment was by no means calm.
"Old man, I'm here to see you!" My voice was a little heavy.
"Okay, okay, okay, good boy, it's good to come, it's good to come!"
The old man seemed very excited, but as he was talking, he suddenly began to breathe violently. It was obvious that his body was on the verge of withering.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
As soon as the old man gasped, the two sisters Hu Xue and Hu Qiu ran over nervously, but as soon as they reached the bed, they were stopped by the little Taoist priest in Qingyi.
"Miss, let them talk!" said the young Taoist priest in Qingyi.
Although the two sisters were nervous, they could only nod.
"Old man, don't get excited. If you have something to say, please speak slowly." I said quickly.
Mr. Hu suddenly sighed, turned his head hard, and looked at me kindly.
"Son, when did your grandfather leave?"
My expression darkened and I whispered: "Early February!"
The old man's expression was a little lonely, "He must have suffered a lot, right?"
My heart suddenly moved, and I couldn't help but glance at Mr. Hu.
Before my grandfather died, he was plagued by a strange illness for nearly a full year. I knew what he suffered during this year, but he never told anyone about it, I am sure of this.
But why do I feel that Mr. Hu seems to know?
However, I have no way to ask about this situation at the moment, I can only feel secretly sad.
Mr. Hu continued: "Your grandfather and I had a life-long friendship. Your grandfather was a master. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. I didn't expect that he would leave one step ahead of me!"
The old man felt a little sentimental.
"But that's okay. I'll be able to find him soon, and then we two brothers will be reunited."
"Old man, please don't talk nonsense, I still want you to live a few more years!" I said sincerely.
Mr. Hu shook his head, "No, I have no time. If you come earlier, you might be able to save my life!"
I was slightly stunned, not understanding what the old man meant, but I didn't say anything.
The old man suddenly glanced at Hu Qiu.
"Son, your grandpa and I have an engagement. Are you here this time also for your marriage to Xiaoqiu?" Mr. Hu asked.
I didn't deny it and nodded lightly.
Mr. Hu smiled and suddenly looked at me. At this moment, his eyes suddenly became very wise.
"Child, Xiaoqiu has been to Jiangcheng, and you have known each other for a long time. She told me about this. I want to know what you think?"
I glanced at Hu Qiu subconsciously, but found that Hu Qiu's face was slightly red, but he did not avoid my gaze, but looked at me calmly.
"Tell the truth, kid. Although your grandfather and I decided on this matter, times are different now. After all, this is your own business, so I respect your opinion."
I was slightly taken aback and didn’t understand why the old man said that. Could it be that he wanted to regret it?”
The old man seemed to have noticed my thoughts and couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, I know what you are thinking. To be honest, I have had this thought. I feel that you may not be suitable. After all, you two grew up in different environments and received different educations. I am worried that you two have no common language.
, I’m even afraid that you won’t be able to integrate into the Hu family in the future, do you understand what I’m saying?”
I nodded. The old man was right. Although the words didn't sound good, they were true. Even if he was laying the groundwork, I couldn't refute it.
When Mr. Hu saw that my expression was as usual, he seemed to be very satisfied and said, "
"My child, I don't mean anything by this. Don't think too much about it. After all, Xiaoqiu has been very good since she was born. When she grew up, she showed great talents, not only in learning, but also in business.
She is equally outstanding all the way. In this regard, my other grandchildren are far behind! Therefore, in the past few years, I have trained her as the successor of the Hu Group. Therefore, my granddaughter is not an ordinary person.
They are all worthy of her."
The old man said so much in one breath, and I said it in my heart. I was probably going to regret the marriage. I didn't expect that what I thought was completely different from what Hu Xue said.
I can still be patient, but Fatty can't stand listening anymore.
"I said, old man, you are trying to break the contract. Doesn't it seem a bit unethical for you to do this?"
"Fat man, shut up!" I quickly interrupted the fat man.
In fact, I have always been hesitant about my marriage to the eldest daughter of the Hu family. Although when I first saw my grandfather’s suicide note, it specifically mentioned your two specified death dates, which made me feel that I had to follow my grandfather’s instructions.
I wanted to do it, but as time went by, my idea gradually changed.
It's not because I want to go against my grandfather's last wish, it's just that after experiencing so many things, I gradually opened my eyes and my heart became shaken.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s because these things Mr. Hu said are subconsciously in my mind!
When Mr. Hu saw me lowering my head and saying nothing, he suddenly started laughing again.
"Child, aren't you angry if I say this?"
I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
"Old man, you're right, you can't force this kind of thing. If you think I'm not good enough, or Miss Hu Qiu doesn't like me, you can do it at any time!"
When I said this, I felt quite uncomfortable. No matter what, if the other party breaks off the engagement, it will be a shameful thing. It will lose my face and my grandfather's face.
But I understand one thing better: forceful melons are not sweet. The relationship between Hu Qiu and I is not just about feelings. The biggest obstacle between us is the serious asymmetry in our identities.
She is the eldest daughter of one of the world's top 500 super wealthy families, and I am just a coffin bearer who eats dead people's food. Why should I compete with them?
So, the main reason I came here this time is to know Mr. Hu's thoughts. If they don't have this intention, why should I beg for nothing? It will only become a joke.
Thinking of this, I looked away and smiled slightly: "Old man, I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I, Zhang Jiuyang, am not the kind of person who seeks wealth and wealth. I will not force anything with Miss Hu."
."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room suddenly became silent.
"Yangzi, you..."
The fat man wanted to say something, but I stopped him with my eyes. This guy spoke freely, but I couldn't let him speak. If he really wanted to say something bad, it would be so embarrassing if the old man couldn't get off the stage!
After all, people are going to die, so why bother!
