"It's nothing. Yi Hang said you came to the hospital. I called to ask how the old man is doing. You look like this... Could it be that grandpa is not doing well?"
When Mu Wanqing mentioned her grandfather's condition, she felt sad again, and her newly adjusted mood suddenly became chaotic.
"Grandpa is basically sleeping now, and rarely wakes up... He just talked a lot to me, and now he fell asleep again." The woman's tone was soft and hoarse, without the sharpness of yesterday.
Wen Zhan understood. It seemed that her crying was related to what the old man said.
"What did he tell you?"
"He talked about my grandfather and his experience in the hail of bullets on the battlefield. He said that his comrades had sacrificed their lives and that he was very content to have lived for these extra years...probably, he just didn't want to make us sad."
She didn't say what her grandfather mentioned in support of her divorce, for fear of angering Wen Zhan again.
She doesn't have the energy to argue now.
"Well, grandpa did have a narrow escape from death. Growing up, we heard him talk about those battles countless times. Your grandpa was great. He saved several comrades."
The two of them chatted about the old man, and it was rare for them to maintain a calm atmosphere.
Mu Wanqing: "It's a pity that he lived in poverty all his life and had to endure the torture of illness when he finally died..."
The man understood immediately: "So, are you so sad when you see the old man is seriously ill and think of the scene when your grandfather died?"
"..." Mu Wanqing suddenly stopped talking, and her ears felt hot.
When did he have such accurate insight into his own psychology?
Realizing that if the conversation continued, the atmosphere would fall into an awkward situation that exceeded the rules. After she fell silent, she immediately changed the subject: "Um... it's almost noon, I have to go back, you can just hang up if you have nothing to do."
Wen Zhan was actually a little bit inexplicably reluctant to leave her, whether it was because he was apologizing to her or because he was worried about her, in short, he was just a little worried about her current state.
But her obvious desire to escape made him afraid to continue, for fear of making her even more disgusted, so he had no choice but to respond in a low voice and end the call.
Mu Wanqing held the phone, the man's words still echoing in her ears.
On the way to the hospital just now, Yi Hang said that Wen Zhan asked him to stay and take care of the family.
She didn't say anything, but her heart still felt spineless.
She felt that the man's conscience was still intact and he still cared for her to some extent.
Now it seems that Yi Hang is more like spying on her.
But what does she have to monitor?
Could she leave the child alone and take the opportunity to escape? Or are you afraid that she will steal someone behind his back and cuckold him?
Mu Wanqing smiled softly, unable to express the complicated feeling in her heart.
On the other side, Wen Zhan, who had just landed at the airport thousands of miles away, had the same complex expression after getting in the car.
Yesterday afternoon, his father called him and scolded him. He must have listened to his mother's jealous complaint and wanted to sever the father-son relationship with this unfilial son.
He was even more depressed and didn't even return home at night.
Originally, he wanted to go out for a drink with Gu Xinchen, but he was worried that Lu Kejun would find out about it and it would cause more trouble.
In the end, he simply stayed at the company overnight, but went straight to the airport for a business trip early in the morning.
He hoped that the two of them could separate and calm down.
But he never went home in the city, and the news was somewhat unpleasant, so he could only use the excuse of a business trip to justify it.
As soon as I landed and turned on my phone, I saw Yi Hang's message.
Thinking of her dedication to the old man who was not a relative, he felt that his behavior was really scumbag, so he took the initiative to call her.
She must have been so sad that her voice was hoarse from crying.
But since his life experience is so pitiful, why can't he live a good life with him?
As long as she doesn't mention divorce, she will be a real young lady in this life, enjoying endless wealth and glory.
Wen Zhan was thinking in confusion, leaning back on the seat and sighing deeply in his heart.

Over the weekend, Ye Huan's family of four moved to Chongcheng.
The family of four was not because they had two children, but because her mother-in-law also came with them.
Ye Huan's daughter has just turned two years old and has not yet entered kindergarten. She needs someone to take care of her around the clock.
When her best friends met, her mood finally became a little brighter.
She bought gifts for her friend's new home and children, and her thoughtful and considerate courtesy made Ye Huan's mother-in-law very polite to her.
At noon, Mu Wanqing had dinner with them to celebrate their move and promotion.
Ye Huan's husband, Chen Haoyang, is a lawyer. This promotion was due to the law firm opening a branch in Chongcheng, and he came here to take charge.
Knowing that Mu Wanqing married well, he didn't want to be looked down upon, so he booked a restaurant in advance for dinner, a very high-end Western restaurant.
Before leaving the house, Ye Huan's daughter fell asleep with a smile.
So, her mother-in-law stayed at home to take care of the children, Ye Huan ordered a meal for her, and the three of them went out to eat.
On the way, Ye Huan saw that his best friend looked tired and listless, so he touched her and asked, "What's wrong? I feel like you're unhappy and quarreling with your husband?"
"No..." She smiled and said softly, "You are here, don't you know how tiring it is to take care of children? Besides, I am still two..."
"But you have so many people helping you, so it shouldn't be a problem..."
"I couldn't sleep well at night, and my sister recognized someone and wanted me when she woke up."
"Oh, it's quite troublesome for children to recognize people." Ye Huan nodded, understanding.
Chen Haoyang was sitting in the front passenger seat. After hearing this, he looked back at his wife's best friend and asked politely: "Wan Qing, how much do you know about your lover's company?"
Um?
Mu Wanqing was stunned, then looked at her best friend's husband who was staring at her sideways, and hesitated: "His company... I don't know much about it."
It should be said that I have no idea at all.
After all, when she got married, she didn't expect it to last forever. Why did she go to inquire about his company?
Moreover, as she was pregnant and raising a baby, she had no time to pay attention to anything else in more than a year.
Ye Huan looked at her husband with a complicated expression, "What do you want to do? Find someone to support your firm?"
Chen Haoyang smiled and admitted openly: "I do have this plan."
"..." Mu Wanqing couldn't answer the question.
She was going to divorce Wen Zhan soon. With such an awkward and awkward relationship, she couldn't help Chen Haoyang.
"When the headquarters decided to let me come to Chongcheng to take charge of the business here, I learned about it in advance. The contract of the law firm that Wenyuan Group originally cooperated with is about to expire, and the bidding will be re-tendered next month. I am planning to submit the application in the next two days. Information, if I am lucky enough to win over a multinational company like Wenyuan Group, then I..."
He smiled expectantly and proudly, obviously taking this opportunity as very important.
Whether or not he can become an instant hit depends entirely on his wife's best friend.
Ye Huan secretly glanced at Mu Wanqing and saw that although she had a polite smile on her face, her eyes were full of embarrassment, and she suddenly understood.
"What are you thinking about? If you want to do it, just do it with your true ability. Don't think of evil ways." Not wanting to embarrass her best friend, Ye Huan directly rejected her husband.
Chen Haoyang's face was slightly stunned. He understood what his wife meant and could only force a smile to Mu Wanqing: "I'm just asking casually, don't feel pressured."
"No, I really don't ask about his company's affairs." Mu Wanqing also felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so she explained it again with a polite smile.
