Chapter 750: The Man On The Tombstone (4)

The first day of the new year, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan went to the hospital and brought Qiao Yi home.

They were joyously reunited for the day.

Qiao Yi had fully recovered by now. He never gave his academic pursuits for all these years, but if he were to enter a local university, he would be older than most of his classmates.

Shen Liangchuan had decided to send him overseas for his undergraduate studies.

Hence, until he was notified of his application to an overseas university, he would stay in the Shen villa and spend time studying on his own.

Xia Yehua was very fond of the smart and likable boy, so she would cook a variety of dishes for him every day.

With someone home to keep her company now, Xia Yehua’s mood gradually lightened up.

–

Second day of the new year.

The moment Qiao Lian opened her eyes in the morning, she was racking her brain for an excuse to go out and join the competitive team’s gathering.

Shen Liangchuan had been tight lipped about what had happened eight years ago.

If she wanted to find out more about the man in the picture on the tombstone, she would have to go and have a look with the team.

Perhaps she would be able to discover some useful information.

After breakfast, she got dressed to leave home.

Then, she made her way slowly down the stairs.

Xia Yehua and Auntie Li were busy in the kitchen, preparing lunch.

Both Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Yi were sitting on the sofa in the living room, each looking through their own documents on their laptops.

When they heard Qiao Lian’s footsteps coming down, they turned simultaneously. Seeing that she was dressed up, Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “You’re going out?”

Qiao Lian coughed once. With a vague expression on her face, she said, “Yes.”

Curiously, Shen Liangchuan asked further, “What are you going out for?”

Before she could reply, his cell phone rang.

He looked down at the screen and paused when he saw the caller’s number.

He pursed his lips as Xia Yehua walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands. When she heard the ringing of his cell phone, she asked, “Who would be calling you on the second day of the new year?”

The casual question drew a puzzled look from Shen Liangchuan as he said, “My grandfather.”

Xia Yehua was stunned for a moment before exclaiming with surprise, “Why is Senior Master calling you? Hurry and pick up!”

Years ago, after getting married, Shen Xiu moved out of his old family home.

Shen Liangchuan seldom saw his grandfather.

He nodded at Xia Yehua’s words and picked up the call. “Grandad.”

They couldn’t hear what the man on the other end was saying, but they saw Shen Liangchuan frown and look reluctant. But he finally said, “Okay, I’ll come by right now.”

After he hung up, he looked up with a sense of uncertainty and said, “Senior Master has asked me to see him at the old family home.”

Xia Yehua sighed and said, “Senior Master is in his seventies now. If he wishes to see you, then just go. After all, he’s your grandfather. In fact, he was good to you when you were little. But because your father didn’t allow you to go back to the old family home later on, you eventually lost contact with Senior Master.”

Shen Liangchuan could only snort disdainfully at her words.

If his grandfather had really been good to him, then he would have known at the time that he and his mother had left the family home without a cent in their pockets. But in all these years, they had never heard from him.

However, Xia Yehua was right.

He was his grandfather after all and furthermore, in his memory, although he and his grandfather weren’t very close, they weren’t estranged either.

Shen Liangchuan nodded and said, “I’ll drop by to see him.”

As he said this, he hurried upstairs to get changed and came back down. Remembering their earlier conversation as he walked past Qiao Lian, he asked, “Why are you going out?”

Qiao Lian replied furtively, “… I- I have an appointment with Nianyao to go shopping.”

“Where? I’ll drive you.”
