Chapter 42 The Old Master's Illness
"It seems... you have a deep prejudice against both Qin Yus!"
The old man's eyes grew more solemn.
These past few days, he had someone check things out, and aside from his granddaughter's wife, Qin Yu didn't have any other woman on the side.
Moreover, sticking around his granddaughter all day long, he wouldn't even have the chance to cheat, right?
Where did things go wrong?
"Grandpa... uh... last night at the Tang Family's, I almost had an accident!"
Yan Mingyu couldn't help herself and still wanted to ask her grandfather in a roundabout way what exactly had happened last night.
"Oh... It was just Grandpa being confused for a moment. I made a phone call to Chunjin, trying to bring you and your bodyguard together... Before you came back to the country, I had already checked out that kid, and he was a fine one. Plus, he's also named Qin Yu, maybe that's some kind of fate!"
In the end, the old man still didn't tell his granddaughter that her bodyguard was, in fact, the husband she had married in haste a year ago.
Because since his granddaughter could remember, her parents, that is, the old man's son and daughter-in-law, had been cheating on each other and arguing daily.
Even on the night her son had a car accident, the daughter-in-law had rushed over from another man's house.
As a result, his granddaughter had been emotionally closed off from a young age and kept to herself, growing up with no plans whatsoever of settling down and starting a family.
Even under his coercion, she had married Qin Yu in a hurry, only to use the excuse of dealing with the overseas branch office to stay away for a full year.
All these things were seen by the old man.
Before she and Qin Yu had developed any feelings for each other, how could he dare to reveal the truth?
"Grandpa... you're... being too absurd!"
Yan Mingyu clenched her silver teeth, her eyes misting with anger. He used to be the helmsman of the Four Seas Corporation, after all. How could he be getting more and more senile with age, acting as unreliable as a child!

She had begrudgingly accepted being married off to a delivery boy, and now he had drugged her to commit herself to her own bodyguard?
What did he take his granddaughter for?
The more Yan Mingyu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears dropped on the floor with a pitter-patter.
"Mingyu, Grandpa was confused this time, you can scold me if you want! Anyway, you might not have the chance to scold your Grandpa again in the future!"
The old man took a folded medical record from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Grandpa, this is..."
Yan Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked up the medical record to read.
"A cyst on the heart... suspected to be malignant... Grandpa? How long has this been going on?"
Yan Mingyu panicked, grabbing her grandfather's arm, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked.
"For over a year now. After I found out, I would intentionally faint on the roadside every day. Within one month, I fainted twenty times and nobody helped.
Until Qin Yu lifted me up, and that's when I recognized this grandson-in-law. Actually, Grandpa wasn't forcing you to marry; I was just afraid that after I'm gone, no one would cherish you, my silly girl!"
The old man gently patted his granddaughter's hand, saying softly.
"Grandpa..."
Yan Mingyu's voice was choked with emotion. It turned out that everything Grandpa had done was for her sake.
Perhaps it was a bit absurd, but it was all out of love for her!
"It's okay, child. Grandpa isn't immortal, everyone can't escape the cycle of life and death. But my biggest regret is not being able to see you and your future husband's wedding. If only I could see my great-grandchildren, that would be even better..."
The old man's gaze turned a bit dim.
In his youth, he had gone through great hardships to establish the Four Seas Corporation. It was a pity that his son was not competitive and got seduced by a temptress.
Out of revenge, his daughter-in-law soon had a man of her own.
Ultimately, maybe as karma, his son and the temptress parked by the roadside for a rendezvous and were hit on the spot by a drunk-driving tipper truck.
At that time, the old man was traveling out of the city, and by the time he rushed back, the company had been firmly grasped by his daughter-in-law.
Only after his granddaughter had graduated from college, did he finally drive his daughter-in-law out of the company and restore Four Seas Corporation back into the hands of the Yan Family.
The granddaughter has suffered....
Growing up in such a distorted family as a child, and now her personal marriage issues are also full of twists and turns....
"Grandfather... we're going abroad tomorrow, and I will find a way to cure your illness!"
Yan Mingyu could no longer hear what the old man was saying; a single thought occupied her mind—she was willing to spend tens, even hundreds of billions, to ensure her grandfather's health.
"Heh, you silly girl, if this illness could be cured, your grandpa would have done so already. However, my personal doctor also said that as long as the cyst near my heart doesn't keep growing, it isn't too serious of a problem.
The most important thing is to maintain a calm mood and not be agitated. Otherwise, if my heart beats too fast and compresses the cyst, I won't live for more than a few days!"
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Then... assuming you, Grandpa, are in a good mood every day, does that mean, we can pretend the cyst doesn't exist?"
Yan Mingyu didn't understand medicine, but she knew that a healthy state of mind was the best medicine.
"The personal doctor said that as long as the cyst doesn't rupture, living another decade or so is no problem. Grandpa is already seventy, to live past eighty is enough. By that time, you'll be around forty years old—you should be able to see the birth of a great-grandchild!"
The old man said earnestly.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely get married before I turn thirty!"
Yan Mingyu said, biting her lip.
Since Grandpa's biggest concern was to see her married and with children, could it be that in the vast East Sea, she wouldn't be able to find a suitable man to marry her off?
"Good, so you're not angry at me anymore, right?"
"Mhm, not angry anymore."
"Come, have some more food...."
"Grandpa, you eat too!"
At that moment.
In the urban village.
Qin Yu had just taken a shower and was preparing to rustle up something to eat for the night when his phone began to ring.
Seeing that it was his sister calling, he immediately answered, "Hello, Wei'er?"
"Bro, I had such bad luck today!"
On the phone, Qin Wei'er complained, "I was just about to take my first official flight when I got hit by an unlicensed van!"
"What? Are you okay? Should I take the high-speed rail over to see you now?"
Qin Yu asked in a hurry.
"Bro, don't be so worried. It's just a scratch, it's already fine after applying some ointment, and I'm resting in the dormitory now! Only, I'm afraid it might not look good to the bosses, and I might have to wait a long while before I can get another official flight assignment!"
Qin Wei'er grumbled.
"Ah, if you can fly, you fly; if not, just find another job,"
Qin Yu comforted.
"Yeah, that's all I can do now! It's just that I've worked hard for four whole years...."
Qin Wei'er obviously still felt some reluctance.
"Wei'er, not all efforts result in success!"
"I know, bro...."
After chatting for a while, Qin Yu eventually put down the phone.
He cooked a bowl of egg noodles and was eating when he received a text message:
If you don't want your sister to have another accident, leave East Sea within three days!
