“That’s my business. What’s the point of you disapproving?” Su Zhan walked over with large strides.
His firm attitude was exactly the same as when he was at the hospital.
Grandma Su was so surprised by his resolution that she had asked the caregiver to wheel her over to the villa in the middle of the night, despite her physical condition, just so she could get Zong Jinghao and Shen Peichuan to convince him.
Tears welled up in Grandma Su’s eyes at the sight of her grandson. “What is wrong with you?”
Is he bewitched by this vixen?
Qin Ya clasped her hands together and watched as Su Zhan strode in from not far away.
I knew Shen Peichuan would inform him.
Well, I guess this is for the best. We can take this opportunity to talk things out.
I’ll just back out if Grandma can’t take it. There’s no need for Su Zhan to get caught between the two of us.
“Su Zhan, have you forgotten about Qin Ya?” Grandma Su tried to persuade Su Zhan. After all, he loved Qin Ya before.
“I am Qin Ya.”
Su Zhan had just walked up to them when he heard Qin Ya confess to Grandma Su.
He cast his eyes at her calm face, knowing that her calmness wasn’t what it appeared to be.
He grabbed her hand and looked at Grandma Su, catching her off guard.
“W-What did you just say?” Grandma Su asked in disbelief, thinking that the woman was lying to her.
“She’s telling the truth. She looked different now because of a serious injury from the kidnapping. And it’s because of that explosion that she can’t have children anymore.”
Su Zhan had wanted to convince Grandma Su first, before getting Qin Ya to stand before her to explain the situation.
He didn’t want Qin Ya to feel pressured about not being able to give birth.
However, since things didn’t go according to his plan, he could only confess to his grandma now and hope that she would consider the hardship Qin Ya had gone through by not mentioning anything about having children.
Grandma Su didn’t speak for a long time. She simply stared at Qin Ya, trying to find a trace of the Qin Ya she had known before, but to no avail.
There wasn’t anything about her that felt or look familiar.
“Y-Y-You’re really her?” Grandma Su stuttered, shocked.
Qin Ya had wanted to say yes when Su Zhan took her hand in a firm grip and said to Grandma Su, “Yes. She is Qinya.”
Grandma Su waved him off. “Go away. I want to hear it from her.”
Grandma Su looked straight into Qin Ya’s eyes.
Qin Ya didn’t shrink back as she said, “I am Qin Ya.”
Grandma Su’s mouth agape with incredulity.
This is unbelievable.
After a long while, she beckoned her over. “Come here. Let me take a look at you…”
Freeing herself from Su Zhan’s grip, Qin Ya walked over to Grandma Su and squatted before her gently. Grandma Su stretched out her hands shakily to stroke her cheeks.
It was a completely unfamiliar face, so much so that she didn’t dare to believe that this person was Qin Ya.
She wondered how bad was the injury that she had to go through a complete makeover.
Even her voice sounded unfamiliar. It was as though she was a completely different person.
“We’re sorry…”
Grandma Su dabbed away the tears from the corner of her eyes, overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions.
She knew that she would never have the chance to meet her great-grandchildren if Qin Ya were to continue to be with Su Zhan.
But she couldn’t get past herself if she were to oppose their relationship.
“When did you come back? Why didn’t you visit me?” Grandma Su kept her emotions in check.
Qin Ya lowered her head in silence.
“You didn’t want to visit me because of the pain that brat had inflicted on you, right? I understand,” Grandma Su went on, holding Qin Ya’s hand. “But it’s good that you’re back. It’s good…”
Grandma Su had sincerely hoped for Qin Ya to be safe.
“I’m sorry,” Qin Ya muttered.
“There’s nothing for you to be sorry about. We are the ones who should be sorry.” Grandma Su was still sensible to know who was at fault in the first place.
Su Zhan squatted beside Qin Ya and draped an arm over her shoulders. “Grandma, do you approve of my relationship with Qin Ya?”
Grandma Su looked at her grandson, who had checkmated in the debate.
It’s our fault that Qin Ya ends up like this. If I were to disagree, doesn’t that make me the bad guy?
“Well, of course.” Although Grandma Su couldn’t accept the fact that Qin Ya couldn’t give birth, she reckoned it could be treated with the advancement of medical technology.
“Grandma, you’re the best!” Su Zhan was so overjoyed that he gave Grandma Su a big hug. He didn’t expect her to give in so easily because of Qin Ya.
Grandma Su wasn’t as excited per se as she pushed him away and said to Qin Ya, “Come visit me at the hospital tomorrow.”
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Ya said, “Sure.”
Grandma Su patted her hand. “It’s getting late. Get some rest.”
Su Zhan helped Qin Ya to her feet, still feeling excited as he beamed, “Thank you, Grandma.”
Grandma Su didn’t look at Su Zhan, nor did she respond to him. Instead, she shouted for the caregiver who was standing far away to send her back to the hospital.
“I’ll bring Qin Ya inside and send you to the hospital,” Su Zhan quickly offered.
“It’s okay. Just go with Grandma,” Qin Ya said.
Grandma is indisposed, after all, and she would need help to get into the car. So it’s better for Su Zhan to send her back.
Su Zhan wanted to say something but Qin Ya smiled at him and said, “I’ll see you at the hospital tomorrow.”
Having said that, she walked back into the villa.
Su Zhan didn’t chase after her, thinking that she was right. Now that Grandma Su had allowed them to be together, they had all the opportunities in the world.
Thus, the grandmother and her grandson left the villa, the former was telling herself that she must get the best doctor to examine Qin Ya.
Su Zhan was still basking in the joy of Grandma Su’s acceptance of Qin Ya that he didn’t realize her purpose of having Qin Ya visit her at the hospital at all.
