After scolding his grandson a few times, the old man couldn't get angry, so he picked up the crutch next to him and slapped Di Shijing hard on the back.
The old man's move was so sudden that Nan Zhiyi froze on the spot in astonishment.
She didn't expect that the old man would do it as soon as he said so.
The moment it fell, there was a muffled sound, and you could tell from the sound that the old man had hit it without any ambiguity.
Di Shijing didn't expect that the old man would hit someone. He just frowned and didn't react at all.
The old man didn't say anything when he saw him. He raised his hand and wanted to come again. Nan Zhiyi stood up and stopped him almost out of reflex.
"Grandpa Di, that's it. Don't be angry. Everything is over. Let me play chess with you and see if you like the chess I bought for you..."
She brought the conversation to gifts.
Mr. Di paused for a while, then cooperated with her and responded: "Hmph, I will spare you for today, kid..."
Then, he and Nan Zhiyi went to open the gifts.
Nan Zhiyi took the time to glance at Di Shijing to see if he was really okay.
Unexpectedly, Di Shijing was also looking at her at this time, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
His eyes seemed to burn Nan Zhiyi.
She immediately withdrew her gaze and ignored it.
The old man likes chess, and the set given by Nan Zhiyi is of high quality. When the old man took it apart and took a look, he liked it very much and asked Nan Zhiyi to play together.
Nan Zhiyi did not refuse. Her chess skills were not great, but they were passable. The old man was in a good mood and played two games in a row.
Uncle Li came over at this time and said, "Old man, dinner is ready."
"Okay, okay, girl, come on, let's go eat."
Mr. Di put down his chess pieces and greeted Nan Zhiyi warmly.
"good."
Nan Zhiyi responded and quickly put away the chess pieces.
Di Shijing, who was left out in the cold, stood up silently.
When he got up, he obviously paused, and then frowned fiercely.
Nan Zhiyi was close to him, so he naturally discovered it.
She couldn't help but look at him, but the man quickly returned to his original state, as if the sight just now was her illusion.
The dinner was quite pleasant, and the table was filled with Nan Zhiyi's favorite dishes.
Nan Zhiyi was indescribably happy. It turned out that Grandpa Di still remembered her preferences.
Halfway through eating, Nan Zhiyi suddenly heard Mr. Di ask, "Girl, you have been back to China for so many days, have you ever returned to Nan's house?"
Nan Zhiyi paused his chopsticks and replied: "No, I came back to China because of work. I'm so busy that I don't have time."
She took a sip of the soup and continued speaking calmly, "Besides, there's nothing to go back to. It's not my home."
Seeing Nan Zhiyi speaking so calmly, the old man felt uncomfortable and felt a little distressed.
Di Shijing also turned his head slightly to look at her.
The woman's face was cold, seemingly unconcerned, but there was still a slight emotional change deep in her eyes.
He didn't like it for some reason. He thought it was the same high-spirited Nan Zhiyi who looked better.
"The parents can ignore it..."
It’s not a good thing anyway!
The old man quickly answered, "However, you can still visit your grandparents when they are free. Over the years, the two elders have talked about you a lot, often criticizing that couple and speaking for you. They... really care about you."
Nan Zhiyi held the spoon without saying a word, seeming to be thinking about it.
In fact, she didn't really want to have contact with the Nan family.
Besides, the company still has a lot of things to deal with, and there is no time to worry about that.
But what Grandpa Di said is true.
Those two old people often called her after she got married and gave her money from time to time, for fear that she would not live well.
Thinking of this, Nan Zhiyi felt a little shaken, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Let's wait for some time, wait for grandma's birthday party, and then go back and see."
Mr. Di received an accurate reply and praised: "You are a thoughtful girl who still remembers your grandma's birthday. If she knows, she will be very happy!"
Nan Zhiyi smiled.
Mr. Di knew that she didn't want to talk about this, so he stopped mentioning the Nan family's affairs and quickly changed the subject.
The two chatted for a while, and the old man asked curiously on a whim, "Girl, have you found someone who treats you better in these years abroad? You are so good and good-looking, there must be a lot of people chasing you, right?"
When he said this, he glanced at his grandson intentionally.
Di Shijing's face was expressionless, but his heart was tense.
He thought of the family members Nan Zhiyi mentioned before in the hospital...
He glanced at Nan Zhiyi lightly, with unnoticeable emotions in his eyes.
Nan Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and thought to herself, why did Grandpa Di ask such an embarrassing question.
Emperor Shijing is still here, is this really appropriate to ask?
But then I thought about it, I had nothing to do with Di Shijing anymore, and there was nothing to hide.
Nan Zhiyi quickly answered truthfully, "No, I was very busy with my studies after I went abroad, and I have been busy with work since then. Mainly because I didn't have the time to think about it."
With two young ancestors at home, she was almost too busy to deal with others.
The old man nodded and said, "Is that so? That's such a pity..."
After saying this, I was secretly relieved.
Didn't find it well...
In this way, wouldn't it be possible to renew our relationship with our grandson?
Thinking of Di Shijing, the old man glared at him again, his eyes full of words like 'something worthless'.
After chatting for so long, I don’t know what to say, and I feel stuck there, like an iceberg!
never mind!
Depending on him, I'm afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life.
Might as well rely on this old man.
After dinner, Mr. Di specifically told Di Shijing in front of Nan Zhiyi, "It's getting late and it's not safe outside. Send Zhiyi back."
Di Shijing responded coldly, "Yeah."
Then, he left the mansion.
Nan Zhiyi followed behind and when she saw the car door opened, she subconsciously refused, "I can take a taxi back by myself."
"Grandpa told me, don't make it difficult for me."
Di Shijing turned a blind eye and said in a tone that could not be refused, "I don't want to get another stick, get in the car! Otherwise, I will do it myself, please get in!"
Nan Zhiyi frowned subconsciously.
But in my mind, I remembered inexplicably the stick that the old man gave me just now...
She didn't want to owe Emperor Shijing a favor because of this matter.
So she shut up and got into his car.
Di Shijing quickly opened the car door from the other side.
When he bent over to get into the car, he seemed to be pulling the wound on his waist, and he couldn't help but groan.
Nan Zhiyi saw it, but turned her face towards the car window, trying to pretend she didn't notice.
However, Emperor Shijing beside him was not restless.
He started to pull up the hem of his shirt to check the injury...
Nan Zhiyi glanced inadvertently and happened to see this scene.
The man exposed a strong waist, and there was a very obvious red mark on the skin of the waist.
