Chapter 220 - 220 Meeting of Grandfather and Grandchild (2)
He shouted, “Stupid girl! I’ll get Granduncle to kill you!”
Su Mo did not expect the little girl’s movement technique to be so fast.
Her capture technique seemed to have been practiced. It was clean, ruthless, and accurate, with a heroic aura.
It was difficult to imagine that such a round and chubby body actually contained such terrifying explosive power.
“Cousin!” Qin Yanran looked at Su Mo anxiously.
It was Qin Yun’s fault. Su Xiaoxiao had not provoked him. It was fine if he had spoken ill of others, but he even tried to beat her up.
Su Mo really wanted Qin Yun to learn a lesson, but when he met Qin Yanran’s pleading gaze, he sighed imperceptibly. “Su…”
Before he could finish, a weak voice came from the Old Marquis’s throat.
Su Mo immediately looked at his grandfather and saw his eyes slowly open.
His expression lit up as he strode to the bed. “Grandpa! You’re awake?”
Qin Yanran hurriedly looked at the Old Marquis with a trace of surprise. “Granduncle!”
When Qin Yun heard that the Old Marquis had woken up, he immediately became arrogant. “Granduncle! Someone bullied me! Hurry up and teach her a lesson for me!”
The Old Marquis’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao.
Qin Yun immediately became smug. “Hurry up and let go of me!”
His grandfather was awake. This brat was dead meat!
Little Quanzi, who had been watching at the door for a long time, silently held his forehead.
It was over. Miss Su was finished.
The Old Marquis doted on this pair of siblings the most. He doted on them more than his biological son and grandsons. It was as though his son and grandsons were picked up from the streets, and the Qin siblings were biological.
If not for the fact that the three generations looked too similar, someone would really suspect so.
However, the Old Marquis did not say a word.
Of course, it was also possible that he was too weak to say anything.
He looked straight at Su Xiaoxiao, his eyes sparkling.
Su Mo looked at his grandfather deeply and pondered for a moment. He said to the three people in the house, “Miss Su, please come over and take a look at my grandfather. Yanran, bring Ah Yun back to the residence first.”
Qin Yanran: “…Got it, Cousin.”
Su Xiaoxiao let go of Qin Yun and Qin Yanran helped him up. Qin Yun still wanted to complain but was pulled away by Qin Yanran.
The moment she crossed the threshold, Qin Yanran turned around.
She wondered if it was her imagination.
After her granduncle woke up, he kept staring at the little girl. His gaze did not look like he was looking at a stranger.
After leaving the courtyard, Qin Yun snorted unhappily. “Sister, why did you pull me out? Can’t you see that I was bullied like that? I must get Granduncle to teach her a lesson!”
Qin Yanran said in a low voice, “Stop fooling around! Granduncle is so ill, you should be concerned about his health! You shouldn’t disturb him with such trivial matters!”
Qin Yun refuted, “Is it a small matter that I was beaten up? Sister! Ever since you were engaged to the Third Prince, you seem to have become a different person! You keep talking about the rules!”
“I didn’t.”
“You did! I don’t want to talk to you anymore! I’ll go back and tell Father and Grandfather! Let them avenge me!”
Qin Yanran felt a headache as she watched Qin Yun leave angrily.
…
Su Mo was not a fool.
What Qin Yanran could notice, he naturally noticed too.
Moreover, because he knew a certain amount of inside information, he did not think that it was his imagination like Qin Yanran.
Her grandfather looked at the little girl differently.
In the past, his grandfather doted on Qin Yanran and Qin Yun the most. However, today, just as the little girl appeared, his grandfather’s attention was all on her. He did not seem to notice Qin Yanran and Qin Yun in the room.
Unfortunately, the poison in the Old Marquis’s body had yet to be cleared. He only woke up for a while, but before he could even say anything, he fell asleep weakly again.
The commotion just now gave Su Mo a headache.
“It won’t happen again,” Su Mo said.
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at him strangely.
Su Mo said, “You and your master are physicians invited by the residence. It was my negligence to let Qin Yun cause trouble in front of you.”
He was not someone who shied away from responsibility.
In addition, he had never seen his grandaunt before. His feelings for her were not as deep as those of his grandfather and father. Therefore, his bloodline towards his grandaunt was not so much love as a form of filial piety to his grandfather and father.
Without interference from his grandfather and father, his attitude towards Qin Yun was considered fair and just.
“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care.
Qin Yun and Su Mo were different persons.
She would not mix them up.
Qin Yun came over to cause trouble, causing Su Mo to remember that Qin Yun had slept for two days.
Su Mo said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I almost forgot. You’ve been traveling for a month. You must be exhausted. I’ll get the servants to keep watch over Grandpa. Go to the room next door and rest for a while. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”
...
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a look that said she couldn’t leave.
Su Mo looked down and saw his unconscious grandfather holding her hand tightly.
…
The Old Marquis woke up in the middle of the night.
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the stool and fell asleep at the head of the bed.
She felt the movement in her palm and immediately looked up at the Old Marquis on the bed.
“You’re awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”
The Old Marquis looked at her in a daze, his hoarse voice trembling. “Fatty…”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked strangely. “Eh? You know my name?”
“Fatty…”
The Old Marquis called her Fatty a few more times and fell asleep in a daze.
...
Su Mo came over close to dawn.
He continued to investigate the poisoning. He had not slept all night and was visibly haggard and tired.
“How’s Grandpa?”
Even his voice was much hoarse.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “He woke up once last night, about half an hour ago. He was not too conscious, but his pulse is smoother than yesterday. If his condition doesn’t worsen today, he’ll be considered to have passed the critical period.”
Su Mo let out a long sigh.
Then, he asked, “What did my grandfather say when he woke up?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “He called me… Fatty. How did he know my name?”
Su Mo was puzzled. “Aren’t you called Daya?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “A nickname.”
When the villagers saw that she was fat, they called her Fatty from Daya.
Su Mo sized her up. “That’s quite an image.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Su Mo paused. “No, I didn’t tell Grandpa your name.”
