Chapter 1351 - 895
First Watch.
-----------------
To talk about Old Master Wan, after leaving the hospital, he went straight to the Qian Family. This was the third time he visited the Qian Family since his daughter married into it.
The first time was at his daughter’s wedding. Although he and his wife were not very pleased with their daughter’s marriage choice, since his daughter was determined to marry the other party, as parents, they still had to show respect for their daughter.
The second time was when his granddaughter was born. He and his wife came to congratulate their daughter, but it was during this visit that the cold reception from the Qian Family made his wife hold a grudge. Eventually, she became depressed and passed away.
Of course, his wife’s depression was not because she felt unimportant, but because she worried about her daughter’s life in this household. Unfortunately, their daughter wouldn’t listen to her advice, leading to bitter consequences.
The third time was when his wife passed away, and he came to inform his daughter.
Since then, he hadn’t set foot in the Qian Family again, and his relationship with his daughter was almost severed. He also thought he would never step into the Qian Family again, but unexpectedly, circumstances forced him to enter this family’s door again.
It’s not hard to imagine the difficulties and cold reception he would face at the Qian Family, but for his daughter, and for his grandson, he must make this trip.
"Grandpa..." At the sight of Old Master Wan, Qian Dakun instinctively stepped forward.
"Dakun!"
The shout came from Old Master Qian.
Qian Dakun paused for a moment and then turned around, looking back at Old Master Qian pitifully: "Grandpa, this is my grandfather, my real grandfather."
"If you still consider yourself a descendant of the Qian Family, stand back," Old Master Qian ordered harshly.
After hesitating, Qian Dakun drooped his head and retreated to stand next to his little cousin, who squeezed his hand gently and whispered: "Don’t be like this, maybe things won’t be as bad as you think."
Qian Dakun tugged at the corner of his mouth without saying a word, thinking that the other is just trying to comfort him. No matter what, his grandparents wouldn’t let him leave this time.
So naturally, his grandfather wouldn’t have a good attitude either.
Strangely, despite meeting his grandfather only once, he felt more affectionate towards him than his grandfather and instinctively wanted to get close to him.
Perhaps this is the difference between intentional and unintentional? He always knew that his grandparents had controlled him so tightly originally to use him to threaten his mother. Later, realizing it wasn’t effective, they simply got used to controlling him.
Later on, as the only male child in the younger generation of the Qian Family, it became a given.
So, he dared not even think about returning to his mother’s side.
When he was little, he blamed his mother; living with his grandparents was far from the happiness seen on the surface. His grandfather’s strict demeanor made him constantly anxious while standing or sitting, afraid of being reprimanded for any shortcoming.
His grandmother wasn’t as severe as his grandfather, but she followed his grandfather’s lead, sometimes pretending not to see that his grandfather was using him as a punching bag.
Why did he feel closer to the sister he rarely saw?
Because in the whole Qian Family, only she dared to speak up for him, yet ironically, she was not welcomed in the Qian Family.
He didn’t understand before, but as he grew older, he realized that the reason his sister wasn’t liked wasn’t because of her but because she was his mother’s daughter.
He also personally heard his grandfather say that they couldn’t spoil his mother, making her believe she was important, thinking the Qian Family needed her to prosper. Hence, no matter what, his mother’s arrogance had to be suppressed.
These words were said in front of his second uncle, second aunt, and two aunts, which naturally influenced their attitudes towards his mother.
His grandfather’s favoritism gradually inclined his heart towards his mother.
Foster children learn to be mature early; though nominally he was pampered by his grandparents, realistically it was no different from being a foster child. Therefore, he knew precisely what he should do.
No matter how much he longed to see his mother or liked being with her, outwardly he never showed it; indeed, he acted cold and indifferent upon seeing his mother.
Only by doing so would his grandparents’ wariness towards his mother lessen, enabling him to see his mother more often. Therefore, even though pretending was exhausting, he forced himself to continue.
