"Are you with Yan Ye right now?" Grandpa Lian saw his granddaughter eating while holding her phone, so he asked.
Lian Xinying immediately put down her phone and replied, "I'm temporarily with him. It was Xiaocheng's birthday earlier..."
"I don't blame you. Your father's name was cleared thanks to you. It's just heartbreaking! We thought he was alive before..." Grandpa Lian sighed, then gave Xinying a piece of meat.
Xinying pursed her lips, hesitating whether to tell her grandfather that her mother was not dead.
But after thinking it over, she decided to wait.
To wait until she had seen her mother safe and sound before telling her grandfather.
After dinner, when Xinying brought up the idea of moving him to A City, the old man outright refused.
"This is where my roots are, I want to die here even if it kills me. Don't worry about me, my neighbors are lifelong friends... If anything happens, they'll call you," Grandpa Lian's words were blunt, but they were true.
