Chapter 287 Xiao Qiao Qiao: If you help bad guys again, I'll kill you too!

Old Master Shen really didn't want to believe what Shen Qingyan had told him a few days ago.

But he couldn't tell whether he didn't want to believe that such an unbelievable thing as being able to live again had happened.

Or perhaps it's simply that she doesn't want such a bloody and tragic thing to have actually happened to her own granddaughter.

Especially since the instigator of all this tragedy was Shen Qingrong, whom he had personally promoted.

How is this any different from him being the executioner who killed his own granddaughter?

Old Master Shen could not bear such consequences.

During this New Year's Eve dinner, Old Master Shen ate without tasting anything, his mind preoccupied.

In Qiaojia Village, the New Year's Eve dinner can be eaten for as long as possible, so this New Year's Eve dinner lasted for more than three hours.

Of course, those who didn't drink had already left the table; only those who did drink were still there eating, drinking, and chatting.

Shen Qingyan rarely drinks alcohol due to the nature of his work. Today, he drank a little bit of the medicinal wine brewed by the Qiao family, but he was far from being drunk.

The other men in the Qiao family were mostly drunk and were helped back to their rooms by their wives. If nothing unexpected happened, they would spend the afternoon sleeping.

After finishing her New Year's Eve dinner, Qiao Qiao played with a few older boys for a while before starting to feel sleepy.

She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, and headed to find Yan Liti. As soon as she took her first short steps, she felt a large shadow fall in front of her.

She looked up in confusion and saw Old Master Shen being pushed over by Wei Xingzhi.

Seeing the little girl wiping her eyes in a daze, Grandpa Shen's heart softened again.

Mr. Shen believes that the most wonderful relationship in the world is probably the blood relationship.

Before meeting the little girl, Grandpa Shen didn't actually have a particularly strong affection for this granddaughter. Of course, he was happy to have a granddaughter.

However, this kind of happiness tends to be superficial.

Therefore, even after learning what Shen Qingrong had done, and knowing that Shen Qingrong had done wrong, he still hoped that Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti would spare his life.

Instead of annihilating them completely.

But when he actually met his granddaughter, Grandpa Shen discovered that blood ties are truly amazing.

He would feel jealous and resentful because she ignored him and called him "Grandpa Tan".

He would feel so sorry for her that he couldn't sleep all night because of the suffering she might have endured.

The moment I see her, my heart melts instantly.

I want to protect her, cherish her, and love her as her grandfather.

May she be able to show her innocent and lovely smile every day without any worries, grow up happily, and be the happiest and most joyful little princess in the world.

Because of the misunderstanding he caused at the Qiao family, Grandpa Shen no longer dared to smile at the little girl like before, even though he had only wanted to leave her with the impression that he was a kind and loving grandfather.

Instead of a wicked grandfather who kidnapped and abducted her!

And strictly speaking...

This is the first time that Grandpa Shen has spent time with such a young child.

Shen Qingrong would occasionally bring his twin daughters to the sanatorium to visit him, but he knew that the two little girls were afraid of him and not close to him.

So aside from asking Wei Xingzhi to get some snacks for people, he never spoke to the two girls, let alone spent time with them.

Now, facing Qiao Qiao, who is closer in blood than the twin sisters and is also younger, Grandpa Shen is somewhat at a loss.

He looked at that small figure.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, but he was too nervous to say anything.

Finally, he could only lower his head, take out a small red cloth bag from his pocket, and hand it to the little girl.

At the same time, his voice was dry as he said to the little girl, "Child, this is for you."

What Grandpa Shen really wanted to say was, "Child, here's some lucky money for you. May you have peace and good health every year."

But when Qiao Qiao looked at him, her eyes were completely unfamiliar yet pure.

Old Master Shen couldn't help but think of the scenes Shen Qingyan had described to him in the car, and a subtle, persistent pain welled up in his heart.

He had no face to call himself grandfather to the child who might have died tragically in his previous life because he had helped Shen Qingrong.

In the end, all I could say was this dry, uninspired sentence.

Qiao Qiao tilted her head, looking at the small red envelope with the character "福" (fortune) embroidered on it that Grandpa Shen handed her. She pouted, her beautiful, dark pupils darting around as she looked him up and down.

At the same time, a small bubble popped out on his forehead.

The little person inside the bubble leans forward, holding a super large magnifying glass in their tiny hand.

It was placed in front of my head, making that cute little head look several times larger.

The little man seemed to be studying something, using a magnifying glass to examine Old Master Shen in front of him.

Her little mouth pursed and murmured, while a line of words flickered above her head.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyan, who was walking over from behind, coughed quietly.

"Cough cough..."

Because that line of text was shocking—"You old geezer, you're really bad!"

Seemingly sensing someone approaching from behind, the little man immediately dropped the magnifying glass in his hand, the line of words above his head disappeared, and he knelt on the ground, turning around with Qiao Qiao to look at Shen Qingyan who was walking towards them.

Da Qiao Qiao is really well-behaved.

Xiao Qiao Qiao, however, smiled and sat in front of a whetstone, pretending to sharpen a knife in front of Grandpa Shen.

The gleam of the blade, honed through countless hours, flashed across her small face, which was filled with a ferocious, shark-like intent.

It's as if it's saying: If you keep helping the bad guys, you'll be killed too!

It's incredibly brutal!

“…” Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan coughed again, and the little bubbles popped and disappeared.

Shen Qingyan secretly observed Old Master Shen's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any strange expression, he felt a little relieved, but also a little uncomfortable.

He—couldn't see his daughter's abnormality.

They had all studied the conditions under which they could see the small bubbles on her daughter's head. They couldn't figure out the specific conditions, but they vaguely guessed that it might be related to love or trust.

His father, Shen Tuo, failed to meet any of the criteria.

Shen Qingyan let out a breath, bent down, and hugged his daughter from behind.

He told himself it didn't matter. He loved his daughter, and many, many people loved his daughter. Whether Shen Tuo loved her or not didn't matter. They didn't care, it wasn't important, it wasn't important at all.

Shen Qingyan refused Old Master Shen's offer.

"No need for this. She's not a member of the Shen family, so she doesn't need it. Her name is Qiao Qiao, and she's a member of the Qiao family."
