Chapter 478 If you drive away the evil spirits, will you be forgiven?

The fortune teller said.

He should have lived a healthy and happy life with his family.

However, something unclean was lingering around his granddaughter, which caused his luck to be drained and his fate to be altered, leading to his current situation of being separated from his wife and children, and his granddaughter ignoring him.

Is it something dirty?

Old Master Shen frowned, and his heart began to beat irregularly when he heard those three words.

He thought of his granddaughter's extraordinary qualities, and his eyes darkened.

He wondered if he could get his wife and son's forgiveness if he just drove away the evil spirits.

His granddaughter would also surround him, laughing and chatting happily.

From now on, he will no longer be alone?

Old Master Shen didn't know.

But he's willing to give it a try.

It's no exaggeration to say that even in his dreams at night, he sees his family living happily together, filled with laughter.

He desperately wanted his family's forgiveness.

Before 6 p.m., Yan Liti and her group returned to the hotel.

It was only a little past seven o'clock after we finished eating.

I was supposed to watch TV at the hotel for a while, and then go to one of the east-facing balconies on the top floor of the hotel at eight o'clock to enjoy the fireworks show.

However, the boys couldn't contain their lively nature, and after finishing their meal, they went in groups to check on the fireworks display setup.

Or is there anything you need their help with?

If this were Hongfeng Town, the adults would naturally feel at ease letting those boys run around freely.

But this was Baoyi City, a place they didn't know well. The adults were worried, so Qiao Changhong and Qiao Changcai, along with two bodyguards assigned from Qiao Qiao, accompanied the boys to check it out.

They even warmly invited Qiao Qiao to come along, but Qiao Qiao didn't want to move. Besides, the hotel was less than 100 meters from the fireworks display area and was located on a high-rise building, so the view would be even clearer than if she were there in person.

As they were going downstairs, they ran into Old Master Shen, who was returning home.

Qiao Changcai was a little surprised to see the two people who came in one after the other. He muttered to Qiao Changhong beside him, "Where did this old man go? He doesn't look quite right."

That's right, although Grandpa Shen has bad legs and difficulty moving around.

However, the Qiao family always perceived him as energetic and vigorous, even though he was twenty years older than Yan Liti and was now seventy, he still looked remarkably robust.

When I ran with them in the afternoon, I looked energetic and spirited. How come I look like a wilted eggplant after only a few hours, all my energy and spirit have been stripped away?

Yet, even in this state, his eyes seemed to be in a state of extreme excitement, as if he was expecting something to happen quickly, which made him seem strangely disconnected.

It's really weird.

Although they had doubts, Qiao Changcai and the others didn't pay much attention to Wei Xingzhi, who was following Old Master Shen closely, and left the hotel with the few mischievous boys.

Qiao Qiao and the others stayed upstairs and didn't come down.

The hotel has five floors in total. The area before the fifth floor is a combination of a small entertainment venue, a gym, and an amusement park.

Because Yan Liti built an amusement park nearby, which was linked to the hotel, Qiao Changdong had the top floor demolished some time ago, intending to do something else.

He even moved those fitness equipment pieces to his usual suite.

He had the waiter renovate several east-facing balconies during the day.

Now there are not only comfortable sofas and chairs, but also a small table placed near the railing, piled high with snacks, fruits, and refreshments.

It was like a small viewing platform; the Qiao family occupied two of them, while the others were distributed to other hotel guests.

Qiao Qiao was now nestled in Shen Qingyan's arms, her little feet dangling as he rubbed the two small bumps on her forehead with Tiger Balm.

"Why won't these mosquito bites go away? They're really venomous! Should we go to the hospital to get them checked out?"

Yan Liti, standing to the side, took a fruit knife, cut the peeled melon into small pieces, and then used a toothpick to put a piece into Qiao Qiao's mouth.

The cantaloupes weren't bought; they were delivered by Jiang Shengnan after school that afternoon. Apparently, they were grown by Grandpa Jiang himself.

Three had just ripened, but the grandfather, his grandson, and their two children didn't eat any of them; they gave them all to Qiao Qiao.

In fact, Qiao Qiao has never lacked fruit since she was a child. Not to mention that the Qiao family itself has planted several seasonal fruit trees.

Loquat, peach, and plum are all fruit trees that many farmers in Hongfeng Town grow.

Take Qiao Changdong, for example. When he was a long-distance bus driver, he would bring back any food he could afford, no matter how expensive, for Qiao Qiao and her family to try.

Not to mention that with Yan Liti, a wealthy patron, Qiao Qiao Fruit has never stopped coming in.

Three cantaloupes might be considered a relatively precious fruit for the three members of the Jiang family, but for Qiao Qiao, they were nothing special.

However, Qiao Qiao happily accepted the gifts and then subtly gave the grandfather and grandson some apples, pears, and bananas in return.

What made Qiao Qiao even happier was that Jiang Shengnan never acted coy with them in these places.

With a clear goal and a straightforward personality, she readily accepted the help the Qiao family offered to her and her two grandchildren after she had determined the Qiao family's character.

Even Yan Liti said that although she was young, she lived a very open-minded and insightful life.

They are destined for great achievements in the future.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I don't feel any pain or itching anymore. I don't need to go to the hospital."

Qiao Qiao ate the cantaloupe that was fed to her in small bites, and upon hearing this, she quickly comforted Yan Liti, who was about to go to the hospital because of two mosquito bites.

"Okay, but if you feel unwell, be sure to tell Grandma, don't suffer in silence," Yan Liti said, still worried.

Qiao Qiao nodded obediently.

The large tortoise lay on the side, its claws pressing down on a melon smaller than its head, and it was also taking bites of it.

Its dark eyes would occasionally glance at the two small bumps on Qiao Qiao's forehead. A guess flashed through its mind about the location.

Grandpa Shen and Wei Xingzhi returned to the hotel around 7 p.m. Less than a minute after entering the hotel, Wang Jun came over from outside and whispered a few words in Shen Qingyan's ear.

Qiao Qiao and Yan Liti both tilted their heads curiously to look at them.

Qiao Qiao didn't use her divine sense, but being so close, she still heard what Wang Jun said in Shen Qingyan's ear.

"What's wrong?" Yan Liti asked, unable to hear.

“He met with Fu Tianyou,” Shen Qingyan replied without hiding anything. “The two talked for about twenty or thirty minutes.”

After a pause, Shen Qingyan continued, "After meeting Fu Tianyou, his condition seemed a bit off."

At this moment, Qiao Qiao had already released her divine sense and found the room where Old Master Shen was staying.
