An Yunxi turned around and saw Xia Zhenhai coming downstairs. He quickly called sweetly, "Grandpa, you finally walked out of the room. Are you hungry? I'll prepare snacks for you."
Xia Zhenhai shook his head, "I don't want to eat."
He sighed and said melancholy, "I always think of Zhao Jinrong when he was young. When I think of Zhao Jinrong, I think of Yun Shuang again. They are all gone, and I am the only one left, living alone in this world."
Qin Nianzhen heard Xia Zhenhai mention Leng Yunshuang and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Why are you so good? I mentioned mom again. Aren't we all with you? How can we live alone? Dad, if you talk nonsense again, I will be really angry.
.”
Leng Yunshuang is Qin Nianzhen's mother-in-law, who is also Xia Zhenhai's first wife. She and Xia Shengting have a good relationship. Leng Yunshuang is the daughter of a wealthy family, and Xia Zhenhai is the son of a powerful man. The two have always been a good story among the military commanders.
Leng Yunshuang and Zhao Jinrong were close friends when they were young. Therefore, the relationship between the two families has always been good, which is why there was talk of an engagement later.
It was originally a marriage that only envied mandarin ducks but not immortals. Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on people. When Leng Yunshuang gave birth to Xia Shengting, she unfortunately passed away due to postpartum infection and massive hemorrhage. From then on, Xia Zhenhai never married and raised Xia Shengting alone.
Qin Nianzhen had never seen Leng Yunshuang's appearance, not even a photo.
Xia Zhenhai always locked herself in her room alone, staring at the empty walls in a daze. She knew that Xia Zhenhai was an infatuated man who had missed Leng Yunshuang all his life. There was not a single photo of Leng Yunshuang in the Xia family.
In order to cheer up Xia Zhenhai, the elders of the Xia family destroyed all traces of Leng Yunshuang and did not even leave him a photo or even a thought, for fear that he would miss him after seeing things.
This time, Zhao Jinrong's death undoubtedly brought back the sad past in Xia Zhenhai's heart.
Qin Nianzhen sighed and frowned. He knew earlier that he shouldn't have let the old man go to the mourning hall to express his condolences.
But this kind of thing cannot be hidden.
An Yunxi knew nothing about the Xia family's past, and it was the first time she heard her grandfather mention Leng Yunshuang when she came to the Xia family.
She watched their looks carefully, not daring to interrupt.
Xia Zhenhai waved to An Yunxi and motioned for her to come over.
An Yunxi walked forward obediently and called sweetly, "Grandpa, don't be sad, I will be filial to you. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to cook it for you."
Xia Zhenhai shook his head, his voice clear and loud, "I'm not hungry. You are the only blood of the Xia family, and I will never let you feel regret. Zuo Chenye, after the funeral is over, I will go and take care of him in a few days.
When he brings it to you, he must explain it clearly to us."
"Dad!" Qin Nianzhen stopped him, "Zhao Jinrong just passed away and he has to mourn. Is it inappropriate for us to do this?"
"What's wrong?! Yunxi's happiness is the most important thing. Didn't you say that the previous marriage was a fake marriage? If I show such an old face, can he still buy it? Even if he has to stay in mourning, he can get engaged first and hold it after the mourning period.
Wedding." Xia Zhenhai's temper got worse, "No matter what, it's his fault first. Seeing that Yunxi's belly is about to grow, he still wants to give up after all?"
"Dad, don't get excited, be careful with your health." Qin Nianzhen knew that if the old man's stubborn temper got worse, even ten cows would not be able to stop him.
She didn't insist anymore, "I understand, wait until I go ask about the situation first, then you can come forward, okay?"
"Huh, that's pretty much it." Xia Zhenhai said "huh" and walked back to the room with his hands behind his back.
"I'll bring you some snacks to your room later." Qin Nianzhen called from behind him.
Xia Zhenhai didn't object and waved his hand, indicating that he agreed.
Qin Nianzhen breathed a sigh of relief. The older Xia Zhenhai got, the more he looked like a child. He often had to be coaxed before he would eat. She glanced at An Yunxi worriedly, wondering why things had to be like this.
She thought of Qiao Ran, whom she had met once before. She had an acute asthma attack that day and Qiao Ran saved her in time. She had a good impression of Qiao Ran. She was a kind-hearted girl who always felt friendly.
