C228 The Dust Settled
When the old man found out that his raised child had done so much behind his back, he was silent for a long time. It was as if he was immersed in his memories, but also as if he was thinking. He only shook his head lightly. "At least... let her live. After all, I promised my old buddy that I would take care of her. I just didn't expect that after raising her, she wouldn't be able to teach her well. "
That's right, even if it was someone who wasn't related by blood, they still had feelings after staying by the old man's side for so many years.
But at the same time, what made Yuchen admire was that this old man actually did not protect Su Shan. Or perhaps in his heart, he already knew that this day would come sooner or later. It was just that he did not expect it to come so soon. The old man was very clear about Qin Mu's means. In France, there were definitely more than a hundred ways for him to make a person disappear. And to make a person wish he was dead than alive, he could definitely fulfill his wish.
Qin Mu's grandfather had taught Qin Mu since he was young that everyone had to be responsible for what they did. They were responsible for what they had done, so they were responsible for what Su Shan had done. He felt sad and disappointed at the same time. Qin Mu had accused Su Shan of what she had done. The old man didn't even hesitate to believe it. He knew Qin Mu too well. He looked cold and ruthless, but he wasn't a person who was willing to wrongly accuse others. However, when Qin Mu put the investigation information on his grandfather's case on the table, the old man stayed in the study alone for an entire afternoon.
Then he went to see Su Shan. At this time, she was locked in the basement of the castle. No one did anything to her. She was only restricted by her freedom. She was placed under house arrest in a squarish soundproof room. People were walking around outside. However, they did not stop. It was as if she did not exist. This kind of feeling made her want to go crazy in pain.
The old man walked into the room and saw his raised child sitting on the bed with disheveled hair. His heart began to ache slightly.
"Grandpa, can you take me out? I can explain, I can explain to Qin Mu." Su Shan looked at the old man as if she saw hope. She knelt in front of the old man with a thump. She knew that the old man was soft-hearted. So she fiercely kowtowed.
However, this time, the old man did not speak. He only looked at her and asked lightly, "Am I not good enough to you?"
Just like the voice from afar, cold and indifferent, the loving tone in peaceful days was completely different. Su Shan was slightly startled and suddenly looked up at the old man.
"As long as Qin Mu has one, I will prepare one for you. As long as it is what you want, I am willing to give it to you. I will treat you as my own child. " The old man's face revealed some sadness, "Why did you become like this?"
With just a few words, Su Shan understood that the old man would not take her away. He believed Qin Mu's words, and he did not believe her.
That's right, even if she grew up here, she had stayed here for more than ten years. But she was still an outsider after all. She was not a member of the Meddebris Family. So in the end, the old man still believed in his grandson. And not her, wasn't this the best proof?
"Yes, I have everything, but in those people's eyes, even if I wear the most luxurious dress, I'm still a lonely girl living under someone else's roof... I am unwilling, those people only have a better life than me, that's all. Can they be so petty to me?" Su Shan slowly stood up and looked straight at the old man. "Grandfather, you are the head of the Modebris family. You always have everything. You don't know the feeling of being looked down upon. Every time at a banquet, you take me there. Those people look at me like they are looking at a pitiful little ant..."
So that's how it is! The old man trembles slightly as he clenches his fist. So this is the truth.
"You are so high and mighty. You are only good to me to show to the world. The head of the Modepris family has a very kind heart. You are even willing to keep your friend's granddaughter by your side. But so what? Outsiders might think that you love me dearly, but you never agreed to the matter between Qin Mu and me. In your heart, I am not worthy of Qin Mu, am I? "Since she had already said it, Su Shan was unscrupulous. Those words that had been suppressed in her heart for many years were all said at once.
The old man laughed at himself. He felt that the love he had for this girl all these years had been eaten by dogs.
It turned out that his love was just charity in her eyes. It was a kind of hypocritical act. No wonder Qin Mu never liked to get close to her. It turned out that he also knew how to look at her.
"Girl, the most important thing for a person is to know how to repay kindness. It's to know how to feel the kindness of others. It is not to treat other people's kindness as evil schemes..." The old man sighed and slowly shook his head. "I am indeed old. Even my eyesight is not as good as Qin Mu's. No wonder he likes Yuchen. Compared to that girl, you are indeed... "
He did not say the last sentence in the end. The old man's back slightly bent. As if he could not bear the burden, he turned around and walked out. As he spoke, he said, "I asked Qin Mu to spare your life. This is considered to be the friendship of our ancestors and grandchildren over the years."
No one cared about what happened to Su Shan later on. Anyway, she fell into Qin Mu's hands. Naturally, there would not be a good result. Instead, they were concerned about Qin Mu's grandfather. Ever since they had seen Su Shan that day, the old man seemed to have suddenly aged ten years. He did not have much energy left.
Later on, it was Yuchen who thought of asking Xiaoyan to bring Lele to the study to disturb the old man. The room was angry, and the old man seemed to have become much more energetic.
"When is your wedding going to be held?" The old man finally asked this question, "Since we are all in France, let's do it as well."
... "" Yuchen could not help but be at a loss for words. How could a wedding be done at the same time?
Just as she wanted to refute, she noticed that the old man looked dispirited and listless. She swallowed her words of rejection and reluctantly nodded. " Yes. "
After getting the consent of his grandson's wife, the old man immediately took action. He asked Mubai to inform the relevant personnel and plan to gather them for a meeting.
"Go and see Lele. I'll cooperate with grandfather for the rest of the matters." Qin Mu went over and kissed Yuchen's cheek, then let her go and do two small things first.
Yuchen nodded and slowly left, waiting for her to go far away. The old man then sneakily glanced at Qin Mu. "You see, you coaxed your wife for so long, but she still refused to hold a wedding. Once Grandfather went out, he was taken down. "
At this moment, she no longer looked as sickly as before.
" Grandpa wants me to stay in France and help you deal with the company's matters, right? " Qin Mu cast a cold glance at him and ridiculed him without giving him any face.
"Don't try to flatter yourself. I can't bear to part with Lele." The old man snorted and said proudly, "I'll go and see Lele. I'll discuss the details of the wedding with Mubai later. We, the Modebris, can't be shabby when we hold a wedding. "
Qin Mu rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to argue with this cunning old man.
However, Yuchen agreeing to hold a wedding in France was indeed something to be happy about. After all, there were too many of their memories here.
