At eight o'clock that evening, Jiang Chenghua dropped Jiang Qin off at the place he'd agreed to meet Su Qing.
"Thank you, Su Qing."
Jiang Chenghua, with his half-white hair, aged cheeks, and wrinkles around his eyes and brows, smiled widely as he looked at Jiang Qin.
"You're Qin Qin's grandfather after all. You shouldn't be thanking me."
Su Qing hadn't dealt with Jiang Chenghua much, but she'd heard a lot from Mei Yeqin. In fact, Jiang Chenghua had helped her and Jiang Sui with many things in the past.
Although she didn't have a close relationship with Jiang Chenghua, but Qin Qin and Jiang Chenghua were related by blood.
Jiang Chenghua looked at Su Qing, feeling a little guilty because he had always disapproved of them being together.
He had even argued with Jiang Sui several times.
Looking at Su Qing now, Jiang Chenghua felt a little overwhelmed.
"Mom, is Dad coming to pick me up? I'm so scared of him. Is he also scared of Dad's dad? Is he also scared of Grandfather?"
Jiang Qin didn't understand adult matters. He had just heard Jiang Sui calling Su Qing when he ran into her.
His eyes widened, looking adorably silly.
Jiang Chenghua's face faltered for a moment as he listened. He looked at his grandson, unsure whether to nod.
"Yes, that's right."
Su Qing patted Jiang Qin's head and agreed.
Jiang Chenghua knew Jiang Sui was coming.
"He doesn't want to see me, so I'll go back."
Su Qing didn't know what to say. She had selfish motives. She didn't want to upset Jiang Sui. She knew Jiang Sui had never forgiven Jiang Chenghua for what happened to Mei's mother. He was a man who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, between gratitude and resentment.
Su Qing could only watch Jiang Chenghua and Jiang Qin say goodbye.
"Grandfather's leaving now. I have a lot of things to do at the company. I'll see you next time."
"Okay."
Jiang Qing nodded obediently, then licked the ice cream in his hand.
The child was adorable.
Although Jiang Chenghua was reluctant, he left anyway.
Su Qing took Jiang Qin's hand and walked to a nearby bench, sharing the location with Jiang Sui on WeChat.
Soon, Jiang Sui came up from the escalator.
He was tall and handsome, dressed in a well-tailored suit, and Su Qing had tied the tie for him.
Such a captivating man drew the attention of many in the mall.
Su Qing tilted her head as she watched Jiang Sui approach.
"Mom, Dad's attracting attention again."
Su Qing's face was a little startled.
Only Jiang Sui tossed the ice cream in Jiang Qin's hand into a nearby trash can, causing Jiang Qin to pout and burst into tears.
Su Qing glared at Jiang Sui and quickly tried to comfort Jiang Qin.
"Qin Qin, don't cry."
"Qin Qin, didn't you have a stomachache last night? Dad must have been worried you'd have stomachache."
Jiang Sui looked at Jiang Qin's bitter face, his mood brightening.
Jiang Qin didn't know, just staring at Su Qing through tearful eyes.
"Really, Mom?"
Su Qing, seeing her son's cunning ways, didn't believe it at all and tugged at Jiang Sui's sleeve.
"Yes."
Jiang Sui lazy to answer, so he just casually acquiesced.
"But Grandfather said can eat less without getting a stomachache."
Jiang Sui's face instantly changed color.
"Ah Sui."
Su Qing was a little worried.
"I'm fine."
"He's his grandson, after all."
Jiang Sui spoke expressionlessly, but his mood wasn't particularly good, and the atmosphere was still a little depressing.
