Chapter 0047 – Letting Go (2 / 2)

His words were direct and slightly rude, yet not without a few points that could not be refuted.

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t realize this was your private territory and didn’t mean to offend.”

Su Wanqing responded politely, and then her words changed, pointing to the game of chess, “However, this game of chess has already reached an impasse, so why don’t you try to make a breakthrough?”

Unexpectedly, instead of appreciating it, the old man glared fiercely at her with a resolute attitude, “This is my personal matter, I don’t need you to meddle in it!”

There was an undeniable majesty in his words.

“You’d better go back where you came from! This pond and this pavilion are for my exclusive use.”

The old man’s words seemed somewhat dictatorial, and Su Wanqing couldn’t help but look at the caregiver, hoping to get some explanation.

The caregiver looked quite embarrassed and reluctantly spoke, “Uncle Yuan, after all, this is a public area of the hospital …… And, the dean has also reminded you many times that blowing the wind for a long time by the pond is not good for your rheumatism.”

However, the old man turned a deaf ear to these exhortations and even waved away the crowd with some impatience.

“Go, go, go, I know my own body, all of you don’t get in the way here.”

Back under the promenade, the caregiver was full of apologies and took the initiative to explain to Su Wanqing, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t anticipate that Uncle Yuan would show up at this time.”

Su Wanqing gently shook her head to show her understanding, “It’s not your fault.”

“By the way, what exactly is that old man’s origin?”

Her curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

The caregiver lowered his voice as if he was revealing some secret, “He is our dean s …… father in law. This matter is usually not freely talked about in the hospital, so please keep it a secret.”

“Father-in-law? So it’s some internal conflict?”

Su Wanqing pursued the question, trying to sort out the relationship.

“Not exactly, there are indeed some differences between Elder Yuan and the Dean.”

The caregiver reveals in a low voice, “The main reason is that the dean and his wife had a child before they got married, which makes Uncle Yuan, who is very traditional, very dissatisfied and believes that there are problems with the dean’s character.”

In an era where unmarried pregnancy had long ceased to be considered a taboo, hearing the story of such a seemingly old-fashioned-minded old man, Su Wanqing felt a little surprised, and at the same time gained a new sense of the era she lived in.

Just as she was contemplating, a voice with an inquisitive tone interrupted her thoughts.

“What are we talking about that’s so happy?”

Qi Zhi Iu had stood beside her silently at some point, and those deep eyes seemed to be able to see everything.

“Oh, just met a rather interesting old man.”

Su Wanqing smiled faintly, not revealing too many details between her words.

“Oh?”

Qi Zhi Iu answered briefly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

After saying that, Qi Zhi Iu’s deep black eyes, as if searching for an answer, gently swept over the surroundings and finally fixed their gaze on the nursing staff on one side, as if silently verifying a certain idea.
