Chapter 1346 - 890: Persuasion
Second watch.

"Dad, the reason you don’t mind waiting a little longer is because you have me and Yanyan by your side, but what about Aunt Yin? Staying at someone else’s house all the time must be uncomfortable," Wan Yuqiong gave her father a glare, then smiled at Sister-in-law Yin. "Aunt, I’ve decided on this matter. Once I’m discharged, I’ll take care of it for you. If you don’t agree, it means you find me bothersome, then I’ll immediately take Yanyan and move out."
"You..." Aunt Yin looked awkwardly at Old Master Wan, having no psychological preparation for such rapid development, she really didn’t know how to handle it.
"Then let’s listen to Yuqiong..." Old Master Wan smiled at Aunt Yin, then looked at his daughter, "However, wait until you’re well, then bring Dakun back."
"Dad..." Wan Yuqiong gave a bitter smile, "I want to bring Dakun back, but my parents-in-law over there will definitely not agree. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made such a decision back then.
They wouldn’t even let me see Dakun before things soured. Now that Qian Jianming is gone, it’s even less likely they’d let Dakun live with me. Just being able to see him occasionally, I’d be content."
"Yuqiong..." Old Master Wan seriously looked at his daughter, "You’re used to being bullied by them. Dakun is your biological son, and it’s only right for you to be the one raising him.
If they mess around again, we’ll take legal action and sue them. We’re not bullies; if they sue properly, we’ll sue properly. If they dare play dirty, we definitely won’t just stand there and let them.
Don’t worry about this matter for now, let Dad help you. Once Dakun is back with you, you can plan the wedding for Dad..." At this point, Old Master Wan looked at Aunt Yin, "Don’t worry, this won’t take too long."
"It’s alright, even if it takes long, it’s alright..." Aunt Yin looked a bit embarrassed, as if implying she was in a hurry to join the Wan family. The old man, couldn’t he mind his words a bit?
"Aunt Yin, you’re too easy-going..." Wan Yuqiong sighed helplessly, looking at her father, "Dad, let’s each take a step back. You handle Dakun’s matter.
But, whether or not you can bring him back to me, we set a period of a month. After a month, I’ll start helping you and Aunt Yin pick a date and plan the wedding.
By then, all Dad’s good friends should be invited, and on my side, I’ll invite good friends too, even though..." She smiled awkwardly, "even though I don’t have many good friends, the ones I’ve kept over these years are really close.
If they knew I reconciled with Dad, they’d definitely be really happy. We must invite them to celebrate and share the joy."
"Alright, we’ll do as you say." Old Master Wan looked at Aunt Yin, "Then I’d trouble you to take care of Yuqiong here. I’ll first go visit the Qian family to check the situation.
Qian Jianming is Yuqiong’s husband. Now that he’s in trouble and Yuqiong can’t get out of bed, I, as a father, should lend a hand, and then discuss Dakun’s matter.
In any case, we start polite, then tough. If it can be resolved amiably, that’s best. But if they insist on tearing faces, we’ll tear them together."
Aunt Yin nodded, "Alright, I’ve got this side covered. You go ahead to handle your matters."
"Yuqiong, you’ve known Sister-in-law Yin for more than a day. Just tell her like it is if you need anything..."
Wan Yuqiong interrupted her father with a helpless face, "Dad, you don’t need to remind me of this. I know what to do. But you haven’t told me what the doctor said yet."
"Do I really need to ask?" When his daughter brought up the question, Old Master Wan glared at her resentfully, "Director Qin looked at me like I was an idiot. I felt stupid even asking. He’s a doctor, not a god. Wasn’t I putting him on the spot?"
Wan Yuqiong gave an embarrassed smile, "Did he say when I could get out of bed?"
"At least three more days, but even then, you can’t walk much. After five days, you can walk for half an hour each time..." He sighed, looking seriously at his daughter, "Regret is not in that day. Even if you can’t go at the time, you can visit later and tell him what you want to say.
According to Yao Xinqing, Qian Jianming cared about you and the kids, so he’d be hoping for you and the kids to be happy together. I won’t say much more; you think it over."
"Dad, I know..." Wan Yuqiong nodded, her expression turning serious, "Dad, rest assured, I’ll take care of my health. I definitely won’t do anything extreme because of Qian Jianming, and I absolutely won’t be an irresponsible daughter or mother."
"Have some food first before you go..." Aunt Yin quickly brought the insulated lunch box, "The Qian family probably isn’t focused on the details now. With good health, matters can be handled efficiently."
"Alright." Old Master Wan pondered, then piled up the lunch boxes and picked them up to head out, "I’ll go find Director Qin for a meal, and after eating, I’ll go straight to the Qian family..." Thinking it over, he turned back to Aunt Yin, "In case I can’t return tonight, I’m counting on you."
"Alright, there’s no need to be so polite with me..." Sister-in-law Yin looked at him helplessly, "The way you are, I really have to think carefully about whether to marry you."
Old Master Wan shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
When Chuxia arrived at the hospital again, she happened to run into Old Master Wan, who was carrying a lunch box to Qin Heng’s office, and hurriedly caught up: "Grandpa Wan, where are you going?"
"Xia..." Old Master Wan turned around, saw the lunch box in Chuxia’s hands, and was taken aback, raising his own lunch box, "Sister-in-law Yin has already brought it over, why are you bringing it again?"
"Grandpa, hehe..." Chuxia chuckled awkwardly, "This, this is for my father-in-law."
"Your father-in-law is at this hospital too?" Old Master Wan furrowed his brows, "What’s wrong with him? I haven’t heard anything about him being hospitalized, when did this happen?"
"My father-in-law is fine, he’s here taking care of someone else..." Chuxia regretted stopping Old Master Wan, she called out merely out of habit, sigh...
"Who is he taking care of?" Old Master Wan continued to ask.
"Taking care of a younger family member..." Chuxia shifted the topic again, "How is Aunt Wan now? I want to go see her later, Aunt Yin is with her, right?"
"Yes, it’s Aunt Yin who’s accompanying her..." Old Master Wan instinctively rubbed his forehead, the daughter calls her Aunt Yin, the granddaughter also calls her Aunt Yin, it’s really mixed up...
"Oh, oh, that’s good, I’ll come by later to see her. By the way, Grandpa, you’re going to have lunch with Director Qin..." Chuxia lightly nudged the old man, "You should hurry over so the food doesn’t get cold."
"What are you avoiding?" Old Master Wan stared at her, "The person your father-in-law is with is Xiaomi, right?"
"Ah?" Chuxia stared wide-eyed in surprise, "How... how did you know?"
"You really think I’m muddled?" Old Master Wan looked at her speechlessly, "When I came to the hospital this morning, everything seemed normal, but later, one by one, people were going in and out, did you think I didn’t notice?
I was indeed confused at the time, so I didn’t ask much, thinking perhaps you were going out deliberately so the room wouldn’t be so crowded. But seeing you now, I connected the dots, was everyone running out to see Xiaomi then?
You didn’t tell me because you didn’t want me to be distracted, right?" The old man sighed, "Or maybe you think separating things out distance them?"
"No, no, no..." Chuxia quickly defended herself, "No matter how long we’re separated, we’ll never be distant from you. We didn’t tell you then because Aunt Wan needed you more, we didn’t want you to worry as much.
Don’t worry, Zhou Mikang is fine, the doctor said he just needs a rest, in three to five days he’ll be well."
"Fabricating more!" Old Master Wan glared at her disapprovingly, "If it was really as you said, would your father-in-law need to stay over at the hospital?"
"I’m telling the truth, I’m not making it up..." Chuxia looked at the old man with a wronged expression, "It’s just that Zhou Mikang isn’t awake right now, but once he wakes up, it really will be nothing. The doctor truly said this, if you don’t believe me, I can take you to ask the doctor yourself."
Old Master Wan waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, stop nagging, take me to see Xiaomi first."
"I’ll go with you, send your meal to Director Qin, then..." Chuxia raised her thermal flask, "This portion I brought, you and my father-in-law can eat together, okay?"
Finally, Old Master Wan didn’t dismiss Chuxia’s suggestion, and the two of them delivered the meal to Qin Heng before heading upstairs to Zhou Mikang’s room.
The Division Commander was still peacefully asleep, and Zhou Jingping was sitting beside, lost in thought, seeing Chuxia and Old Master Wan enter, he furrowed his brows slightly, quickly standing up to greet them: "Hello, Uncle Wan."
"Hello." Old Master Wan replied as he walked to the bedside, although he wasn’t a doctor, judging by the complexion, he felt Zhou Mikang’s condition seemed okay, and his mood improved slightly.
"Xia, you could have someone else bring the food." Zhou Jingping couldn’t help but express his dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law, "In your current situation, you should be taking care of yourself first, Xiaomi has made us worried enough, can you give us a break, please?"
"Sure." Chuxia put down the thermal flask and smiled apologetically at Zhou Jingping, "I just wanted to see him, it’s been so long without news, I’ve been worried all the time.
Even though I’ve seen him now, until he wakes up, I can’t relax. If you let me come to see him every day, I’d feel more at ease, it’d be better for the baby too." (To be continued.
