Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

2275 Twins
After an unknown period of time, the door of the operating room opened. Everyone rushed forward and asked the doctor about the situation.

“Alright, alright. The patient just fell on his leg and has some external injuries. His condition has stabilized now. It’s not a big problem. However, there’s something wrong with his heart, and he needs to be paid more attention. We originally wanted to suggest heart surgery, but the patient is old and has external injuries, so we can only focus on observation.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, everyone could not relax.

There were still many problems with Old Master Qiao’s health.

“You can go in and take a look at him now. But don’t stay too long. It’ll affect the patient’s rest.”

Old Madam Qiao said, “How about this? Everyone will go and take a look at him together. We’ll talk about it later.”

Old Master Qiao was sent to the ward and was lying on the hospital bed. When he saw everyone walking in, he smiled gratifiedly and said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry, everyone.”

“Grandpa, I was really worried when I heard that something had happened to you. I’m relieved to see that you’re fine.” Qiao Jierou was the first to walk over. Her eyes were as swollen as peaches as she held Old Master Qiao’s hand.

“It’s okay. Don’t cry,” Old Master Qiao said.

“Yes, yes. We’re all relieved that you’re fine,” Qiao Jierou said. “I’ll stay and accompany you tonight.”

“There’s no need. There’s a special caregiver accompanying me. I’m already used to their care. You’re a woman, so it’s not convenient for you to accompany me. Go back and rest early.” Old Master Qiao patted her hand.

“Then let me stay and accompany you for a while before leaving.”

Old Master Qiao did not refuse.

Seeing that her grandfather was in good spirits, the worry on Qiao Weiyang’s face finally dissipated.

However, with everyone surrounding her, she could not approach Old Master Qiao at all. She could only stand silently in the back row.

Old Master Qiao glanced at everyone. His son, daughter-in-law, and the rest of the younger generation were all here, so he said, “As we get older, we can’t avoid such things happening. I’m old now and useless.”

“Dad, don’t say that,” Qiao Qijie quickly said.

“It doesn’t matter if I say it or not. There’s nothing to hide. I also want to think about what I have and distribute the Qiao family’s assets while I can still move. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.”

Hearing Old Master Qiao’s words, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Qiao Qijie was incompetent, so, of course, he hoped to get his share of the pie as soon as possible. Huang Shumin had the same thought as well.

Qiao Weiyang and Lin Heng did not care. After all, Lin Heng was an outsider and did not have too many thoughts.

However, Old Madam Qiao, Huang Shumin, and Qiao Jierou were different.

The three of them valued the things in Old Master Qiao’s hands very much.

Immediately, Old Madam Qiao thought of Qiao Weiyang. Old Master Qiao liked her so much that he might give her a very generous sum of money when the time came, especially now that she had just won first place in the preliminary round of the International Fashion Design Competition. If Old Master Qiao took this opportunity to give her more money, outsiders would probably not say that he was biased.

However, if she got a bigger share, the others would get less.

This was something that Old Madam Qiao did not want to see.

Huang Shumin also looked at Old Master Qiao nervously, having the same concerns.

Qiao Jierou lowered her head. Others could not read her thoughts, but the three of them had always been on the same side. How could she have no objections to this matter?

Old Madam Qiao was the first to speak. “Old man, you’ve just finished your surgery. It’s really unlucky to talk about this. I think you still have 20 to 30 years to live. You’re still waiting to have a great-grandchild. Don’t say such unlucky words.”

“But…”

“No buts. At this time, the doctor also told you to have a good rest. Don’t let the doctor down, and don’t let all of us down. Look at how you’re causing trouble in the middle of the night. Do you still have the heart to ruin your body?”

Her words were filled with kinship and concern. She spoke very sincerely. For a moment, even Old Master Qiao was influenced.

He said, “That’s true, that’s true. We’ll talk about it later.”

Qiao Jierou said softly, “Grandpa, Grandma makes sense. Have a good rest first. I’ll stay here with you for a while.”

“Alright, then everyone should go back and rest. Dongliang, go back to school early tomorrow.”

“Okay, Grandpa. Since you’re fine, I’ll be at ease when I go back to study.”
Old Madam Qiao said, “Everyone, leave.”

“Weiyang, stay for a while.” Old Master Qiao waved at Qiao Weiyang.

Only then did everyone move aside and make way for Qiao Weiyang.

Qiao Jierou pinched the bed sheets with her fingers but had no choice but to welcome her with a smile. She gave up the space in front of the bed to Qiao Weiyang.

“Grandpa.” Qiao Weiyang held Old Master Qiao’s hand and finally found an opportunity to feel his pulse. She was listening to Old Master Qiao’s words, but her attention was actually on taking his pulse.

“Weiyang, I just have some old illnesses. You don’t have to worry too much. I know that you’ve recently joined the cast for your new movie. If you can’t come often, don’t force yourself. It’s more important to take care of yourself.”

There were some things that Old Master Qiao didn’t say. Everyone else in the family had someone to rely on. Only Qiao Weiyang was suffering outside and was even constantly framed by her family.

It was his fault for not protecting his granddaughter well. Old Master Qiao had always been regretful.

Qiao Weiyang understood the regrets he didn’t say out loud. How could she not know how much her grandfather had doted on her since she was young?

“Grandpa, I understand.” Qiao Weiyang felt his pulse. It might be worse than the doctor had said.

Young people could recover quickly after a bump or a fall. But for old people, it would cause a chain reaction.

Old Master Qiao spoke to her about some other things before saying, “You should go back.”

Qiao Weiyang did not insist and turned to leave.

Huang Shumin shook her head secretly and muttered, “She left just like that. I’ve never seen her so straightforward.”

Old Master Qiao looked up at her. Huang Shumin was so frightened that she didn’t dare to continue talking.

Qiao Jierou was about to occupy the spot where Qiao Weiyang had left after getting up when Old Master Qiao said, “Jierou, you should go back too. Let me be alone for a while.”

Qiao Jierou couldn’t insist, so she could only go out with everyone.

Qiao Dongliang ran out and met Qiao Weiyang at the corner of the stairs.

Qiao Weiyang patted him on the shoulder. “Grandpa is right. Studying is important, so study hard. Don’t worry about your family. We’re here.”
