Chapter 1103: Chapter 1107 It’s Difficult

His voice trembled faintly, “Grandfather’s words were very cryptic, but I could hear his meaning, he hoped that when Xiao Mi and I get married, my sister could come to attend our wedding…”

Qiao Zui’s voice was very soft, with a heavy look in his eyes.

Cutting ties with Qiao Yi was announced by the old man himself.

If Qiao Yi could come back and apologize to the old man, he would surely forgive her and welcome her back with open arms.

But Qiao Yi never gave the old man a chance to forgive her.

Deluded for several years, she finally came to her senses, divorced that scumbag, and wanted to start anew.

But due to an unfortunate turn of events, she lost her life.

In this lifetime, the old man would never wait for his beloved granddaughter to say, “I’m sorry, Grandfather, please forgive me, I’ve returned.”

The old man also lost the chance to tell his granddaughter, “It’s okay, I’ve already forgiven you, we’re still a family.”

What would the old man feel if he knew Qiao Yi had died?

Would he regret and blame himself for having been so final with his words, for cutting ties with Qiao Yi?

Gu Junzhu’s fingers drooped at his side twitched, as he turned to look at him, “What did you say?”

“I agreed,” Qiao Zui said bitterly, “I said I would contact her, but I can’t guarantee that she will be willing to come back for my wedding. I told grandfather that I had beaten up her scumbag husband, that her scumbag husband won’t allow her to have any more contact with our family, that she listens to her scumbag husband a lot, and probably won’t come back to us again…”

Qiao Zui looked down at the ground, his voice trembling slightly, “Grandfather… he was very upset… I…”

He couldn’t continue, his head turned away, and Ye Xingbei saw a tear drop to the ground.

Gu Junzhu raised his hand and patted his shoulder twice, “I’ve already notified everyone around the old man who can be trusted. No matter who the old man sends to check on Qiao Yi, they will all tell the old man that Qiao Yi is doing well with that man, that she still resents us for driving her out of the house together, that she doesn’t ever want to be involved with our family again.”

Qiao Zui nodded, his voice choked, “I understand… I just don’t understand why God has to be so cruel? Although she was a bit foolish, she never did anything bad… What did Grandfather do to deserve such treatment from God? I can’t imagine how Grandfather would feel if he knew she was already dead…”

“We absolutely cannot let the old man find out!” Gu Junzhu’s voice was harsher than ever, staring intently at him, “I don’t care how sad you feel inside, but you have to pull yourself together and keep it from the old man. If the news leaks from you, I’ll skin you alive! Do you understand?”

“I understand, I understand!” Qiao Zui nodded repeatedly, turned away, and wiped his eyes, “I know the gravity of the situation, I won’t let Grandfather know, but… Grandfather will still be heartbroken… The granddaughter he doted on and raised for over a decade has cut off relations with him, what must be in Grandfather’s heart? If Grandfather doesn’t know she’s already gone, then he’ll never know… that she had regrets… that she also missed Grandfather…”

“That’s still better than letting the old man know that she is dead…” Gu Junzhu closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh, “The old man can’t bear the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one anymore!”

He gripped Qiao Zui’s shoulders and gave them a firm squeeze, “Xiao Qiao, if not for anything else, for the old man’s sake, you must live well.”
