Chapter 267 Grandfather Takes Action to Suppress [the situation]
After having our New Year's Eve dinner, we sat in front of the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while.
Around 10 o'clock, the child couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep in Lin Qiuran's arms.
The original plan to welcome the new students together had to be abandoned. Lin Qiuran took her family back home, leaving only my grandparents and me.
But this didn't affect our mood at all, after all, it was my and my grandparents' first time welcoming the new year, and they were both extremely happy.
Just like any ordinary family, they munched on sunflower seeds, drank tea, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and waited for the New Year to arrive.
But after all, she was getting old and her health wasn't very good. She got tired before 11 o'clock, and her grandfather helped her back to her room.
Actually, my health wasn't that good either; I'm still recovering. In the end, none of us were there for the Spring Festival celebration.
But I am happier and more joyful than at any other time in previous years.
After Grandma went back to her room, I went back to my room too.
I heard a knock on the door when I came out after washing up, and I didn't expect it to be my grandfather.
"Grandpa, come in." I quickly welcomed my grandfather in.
But Grandpa stood at the door and didn't come in. "No need," he said. "I just wanted to say a few words to you."
I was a little surprised and didn't know what my grandfather meant.
But he left his grandmother behind and came to talk to me personally, so he must have something to tell me.
Moreover, the way my grandfather seemed to want to say something but hesitated suggested that he had a lot to say.
"Okay, go ahead."
My grandfather patted my shoulder, sighed deeply, and looked at me with worry in his eyes.
"Grandpa just wants to tell you that if anything happens, you should talk about it and we'll all work together to solve it. With Grandpa and Grandma around, you don't need to shoulder everything alone."
My eyes instantly welled up with tears; I was deeply moved.
When I was very young, and when I was a little older and more sensible, there were times when I longed to hear someone say this to me.
Tell me, I don't need to work too hard, I don't need to force myself, I have someone to rely on.
Now that someone has finally said these words to me, I am overwhelmed with bittersweet emotions and indescribable gratitude.
I even imagined rushing into my grandfather's arms like a child.
But I'm past that age; I've reached the age where my grandparents can rely on me.
But tears still mischievously slid down from the corners of her eyes.
Grandpa looked at me earnestly, and I smiled and nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I won't hide anything from you and Grandma."
"If there's anything I can't resolve, I'll definitely discuss it with you, okay?"
But my grandfather still had a furrowed brow, as if he had something to say, but for some reason, he never said it.
If it weren't for the fact that we had only recently recognized each other and didn't know him well enough, I would have realized by now that my grandfather already knew a lot of the truth.
Since I didn't bring it up, my grandfather didn't interfere much.
For example, with my grandfather's connections, finding out about Song Yafei's case would be a piece of cake.
But because I didn't say anything, my grandfather didn't mention it at all.
What I didn't know was that after my grandfather left, he actually called the subsidiary in Fengcheng, meaning to warn Song Yafei not to bully me.
At that time, I had no idea.
Even after that, Song Yafei's company encountered many problems, all of which were related to her grandfather's methods.
After Song Yafei and Assistant Luo investigated and found out who was causing trouble for the company, they immediately contacted the general manager of the Su Group in the city under lockdown and arranged a meeting.
After meeting, it was nothing more than a back-and-forth exchange of mutually restrictive words.
Moreover, after chatting with the general manager, Song Yafei discovered that I had found my relatives.
The general manager of Su's Group also discovered that Song Yafei was pregnant.
……
That day, I was taking a walk with my grandparents when I suddenly received a call from Song Yafei.
When I saw her number, I felt helpless and extremely angry.
Her repeated dismissal of my words left me feeling powerless again.
But my grandparents were right there, and I didn't want them to find out, so I pretended nothing was wrong and went to the side to answer the phone.
Because I knew that if I didn't answer this call, I would only be bothered by Song Yafei.
Grandpa and Grandma will always find out something.
Before I could even speak after the call connected, Song Yafei asked me urgently, "Zhang Tian, you've found your family, right?"
I frowned, wondering where she got the information this time.
I don't want to admit it, nor do I want to lie, because these things have nothing to do with her, and I don't need to explain anything to her.
I was even a little angry, and my voice became much colder.
"If you're calling just to ask this question, then I'm sorry, I have no obligation to answer you."
I was about to hang up the phone.
Song Yafei hurriedly said, "So, you don't know that your grandfather sent someone to find me."
"To prevent me from bothering you, he even sent people to sabotage my company's cooperation. He's your maternal grandfather, isn't he?"
I was shocked; I had no idea that my grandfather had done these things behind my back.
But I had absolutely no intention of blaming my grandfather. Why should I blame someone who was good to me?
My face turned cold. "So what do you mean by calling now? Do you want me to compensate you?"
No, that's not it.
Song Yafei hurriedly explained, "I just wanted you to know that I didn't mean to bother you. Is it not okay for us to contact each other occasionally as friends?"
"Friends?"
"But what stands between us is human life, not just a misunderstanding, not just the harm you caused me, but a human life that we can never overcome. Don't you understand?"
"What kind of friendship could lead to a death?"
I didn't want to argue with her anymore, and besides, my grandparents were over there, and I didn't want them to suspect anything.
“If it was your grandfather who did it, then I apologize to you on his behalf. I will tell him not to do such a thing again, so don’t worry.”
"But if you keep nagging, I don't think Grandpa is going too far. He just wants to stand up for his grandson. What's wrong with that!"
"Please don't bother me anymore, thank you."
After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, and only after my expression softened did I walk towards my grandparents.
Grandma was a little worried. "You don't look well. Is something wrong?"
"Talk to your grandparents if you have anything on your mind. Don't keep it to yourself. You need to rest and don't overthink things."
"Okay, I know."
Although my grandfather didn't say anything, his eyes were full of worry as he looked at me.
I smiled at him.
Just like I told Song Yafei, even if it was my grandfather who did this, I would never blame him.
Instead, I was warmed by the fact that someone was willing to stand up for me.
"Let's go, we'll look around a bit more and then head back."
Grandma stood in the middle, with Grandpa and me on either side, helping her walk and chatting. It was so pleasant!
