Since returning to the Qiao family, Qiao Chuxi had been by Grandfather Qiao’s side nonstop. For several days, she hadn’t closed her eyes even once. Even Qiao Zhendong felt somewhat uneasy about it. Within the entire Qiao family, only her affection for Grandfather Qiao ran the deepest…
“Aren’t you going to rest a bit? Grandfather has been unconscious for three days, and his condition is still unclear. It’s not a solution to keep waiting like this!”
Although Qiao Zhendong had also been keeping watch, he hadn’t stayed day and night like Qiao Chuxi. Seeing his cousin’s tired expression, he tried to persuade her gently. Aside from Grandfather Qiao, he and Qiao Chuxi had the closest relationship in the family…
However, certain matters had gradually driven them apart. After all, their positions were different. Facing the entire Qiao Group, no one could remain unmoved, himself included. He wasn’t a saint, unlike Qiao Chuxi, who could simply walk away without hesitation.
The reason why Grandfather Qiao had refused to hand over power and continued to control the Qiao Group over the past few years was solely in hopes that Qiao Chuxi would return. After all, this gifted girl possessed exceptional talent in management. The Qiao Group’s current success owed much to her contributions…
“Grandfather must know that I’m back. He will definitely wake up. I must stay here and watch over him. If you’re tired, go rest by yourself…”
After several days, Qiao Chuxi no longer felt so repulsed by her cousin. She had also realized that although Qiao Zhendong had intended to kidnap her, he hadn’t meant her any harm. Someone must have secretly manipulated things behind the scenes.
Helplessly shaking his head, Qiao Zhendong simply walked out. He understood his cousin’s temperament—she wasn’t someone easily persuaded. He lacked the ability to change her mind. After careful consideration, he chose to leave for now…
Paying no heed to her cousin’s departure, Qiao Chuxi tightly gripped her grandfather’s hand, her tears slightly blurring her vision. Grandfather Qiao had given so much for the entire family, yet now, very few within the Qiao family genuinely wished for his recovery. Within this cold, calculating family, it seemed that interests and benefits were the only things that mattered…
Just as she was feeling somewhat dazed, she suddenly felt her grandfather’s hand twitch. A surge of ecstatic joy immediately appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face. After waiting for so long, finally, there was a result.
The elderly man in bed opened his eyes for the first time after several days of unconsciousness. Although his gaze was somewhat hazy, it was filled mostly with indescribable emotion. At a moment like this, his beloved granddaughter was still by his side…
Although in a coma, Grandfather Qiao had been clearly aware of everything happening around him. His several sons had visited a few times, but they were merely checking whether he was dead or not. Only Qiao Chuxi had remained by his side all along.
“Grandfather, you’ve really woken up! I’ll go inform Uncle and the others…”
Overwhelmed with joy to the point of tears, seeing the flush returning to her grandfather’s face, Qiao Chuxi smiled genuinely for the first time. It was the first sincere smile since her return. Waking up after the coma proved that his condition was no longer so critical…
“No need. There are some things I must tell you alone. I don’t trust them!”
Grandfather Qiao reached out and held Qiao Chuxi’s hand. On his kind face, a rare tiredness appeared. This old man, who had spent his entire life working tirelessly for the Qiao family, had finally grown weary. Yet he felt fortunate—just at this moment, Qiao Chuxi, the extraordinary genius of the Qiao family, had finally returned…
