Most importantly, she recognized the person sitting in the wheelchair.
It was Su Zhan’s grandmother.
What is she doing here?
With Qin Ya’s new look, Grandma Su couldn’t recognize her at all. She asked, “Who are you?”
She had never seen this girl before.
Qin Ya was momentarily lost for words. She didn’t know how to respond.
Should I tell her I’m Qin Ya, or should I not?
It didn’t occur to her that she would meet Grandma Su so suddenly.
Upon seeing who the visitor was, Shen Peichuan walked over and said, “What brings you here, Grandma?”
“I’m here to look for you and Jinghao,” Grandma Su said, her eyes red.
Shen Peichuan took the wheelchair from the caregiver, asking, “What’s the matter?”
“That little brat, Su Zhan, has ticked me off again,” Grandma Su sighed, feeling hopeless at the recollection of Su Zhan’s determined look.
“Did he call you?” Grandma Su asked, worried about her grandson, who had stormed off after their heated argument.
“No, he didn’t. Did something happen?” Shen Peichuan asked, glancing at Qin Ya.
“He suddenly told me that he doesn’t want to have a child and he doesn’t like kids. Don’t you think he’s crazy?”
Shen Peichuan pushed her away from the door and told Qin Ya to stay inside.
Having heard Grandma Su’s words, Qin Ya knew at once that the purpose of her visit today was to have Zong Jinghao and Shen Peichuan convince Su Zhan.
Shen Peichuan stopped the wheelchair next to the fountain in the courtyard. He didn’t want to stay inside because he was afraid that Qin Ya would hear them.
Besides, there were many people at home. He was afraid that someone would spill the beans by accident, that the person who opened the door just now was Qin Ya.
In fact, Shen Peichuan had more or less known what was going on even before Grandma Su could finish her sentence.
What else could explain her sudden visit at this hour with that weak body of hers?
“Do you know what’s going on with Su Zhan?” Grandma Su sighed.
She couldn’t make head or tail of the sudden change in her grandson’s attitude when she had badgered him into having children.
“Tell me, Peichuan. Did something happen to him? How did he end up like this?”
Shen Peichuan didn’t know how to persuade her. “There are actually many young people who don’t like children nowadays—”
“That is their business, but not Su Zhan’s!” Grandma Su interrupted in agitation. “You know him. He’s the only grandson of the Su family. How am I supposed to face his dead grandfather if there are no more descendants in the Su family?”
Shen Peichuan set his mouth in a hard line.
“Do you know anything?” Grandma Su squinted at Shen Peichuan.
“I don’t—”
“Peichuan,” Grandma Su interrupted again. “I don’t have many days to live. Don’t you help Su Zhan to deceive me. Tell me, has he found Qin Ya?”
Qin Ya was the only reason she could think of in response to Su Zhan’s strange behavior.
“She doesn’t want to give birth to another child for Su Zhan, does she?” Grandma Su speculated.
Shen Peichuan didn’t really know what to say. “You’re not well. Let me take you back to the hospital.”
“I’m not leaving until you tell me the truth.” Grandma Su was immovable.
Left with no other choice, Shen Peichuan fished for his phone and was just about to give Su Zhan a call when Qin Ya walked over.
“Why don’t you head back inside, Mr. Shen. I’ll talk to Grandma.”
Shen Peichuan quickly pulled her aside. “I’ll handle it. Go back inside.”
“Can you handle it?” Qin Ya smiled, rendering Shen Peichuan speechless with that question.
“I’ll be fine. Just go inside,” Qin Ya said. While she was inside, she had figured out that she would have to face Grandma Su sooner or later as long as she was still together with Su Zhan.
Shen Peichuan hesitated.
“You can’t handle this. I am the source of the problem so let me talk to Grandma. Just go inside,” Qin Ya said calmly. After some consideration, Shen Peichuan eventually nodded. “Call me if something happens.”
“Okay.”
As Shen Peichuan went back inside, Qin Ya walked up to the elder.
“Tell me, young lady. Who are you?” Grandma Su stared at her, having no idea who she was. She was certain that she had never met her before.
“Nice to meet you, Grandma,” Qin Ya said amiably.
Grandma Su was a little confused. “Who on earth are you? Do I know you? How could you call me Grandma when we’ve just met?”
Qin Ya clenched her fists, then let go of them. “I’m Su Zhan’s girlfriend.”
Grandma Su’s eyes rounded in shock. “You’re Su Zhan’s girlfriend?”
Qin Ya nodded.
“So was it you who refused to give birth?” That’s why Su Zhan doesn’t want a child?
Feeling uneasy, Shen Peichuan gave Su Zhan a call as soon as he went back inside.
It was fortunate the Su Zhan didn’t turn off his phone as the call quickly got through.
Shen Peichuan wondered where he was, as it sounded very quiet over there.
“Come to the villa, quick,” Shen Peichuan urged.
“I don’t want to,” Su Zhan said, feeling disheartened. He didn’t want Qin Ya to see him in such a state.
“Your grandma is here, and Qin Ya is talking to her right now.”
Su Zhan, who was sitting by the river, smoking, jumped to his feet upon hearing that his grandmother was at the villa. “How did she get there?”
“In a wheelchair. The caregiver probably gave her a hand,” Shen Peichuan said.
“I’m on my way.” Hanging up, Su Zhan got into the car and drove toward the villa.
Outside the villa, Grandma Su was sizing Qin Ya up. It was dark outside, but the lighting was just right for her to clearly make out Qin Ya’s appearance.
There was something about her that made her lose a few points from her, despite her good looks.
Qin Ya nodded honestly. “It’s me. I don’t want to have children.”
Grandma Su pulled a long face. “Why is that?” Before Qin Ya could reply, she added, “You’re not suitable for Su Zhan then. Break up with him now.”
This girl is a far cry from Qin Ya.
How is she any better than Qin Ya?
Qin Ya’s sensible. She looks good and is amiable, and she’s nice to me. How upsetting it is that this girl encourages Su Zhan into not having a child when they’re not even married.
Su Zhan has the nerve to go against me because of this girl.
Is he crazy?
Seriously, a girl like her?
“Listen to me, you. Don’t even think about marrying into the Su family. Even if you change your mind and want to bear Su Zhan’s child, I certainly won’t allow it!” Grandma Su growled, her breathing got heavier.
