Su Qianci's heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife.
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and Su Qianci lowered her head, then picked up the bowl and started to eat.
When Grandpa heard Li Sicheng's answer, he was very angry.
He threw his chopsticks away and slammed them on the table, saying, "What do you mean by forgetting? Are you so busy at work?"
Li Sicheng didn't say anything. He picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up the food. He ate slowly and leisurely with elegant and dignified movements.
Grandpa was furious. He looked at Su Qianci and said, "Qianqian, has he been so weird these past few days?"
Sarcastic... Li Sicheng paused.
Su Qianci put the bowl down and said, "No."
"It would be strange if there wasn't one!" Grandpa had already seen through everything, "Ah!"
"He is busy with work, so it's normal for him to forget." Su Qianci explained in a low voice, just narrating calmly.
He stretched out his hand, picked up some food for himself, and ate slowly, as if he didn't care at all.
Li Sicheng did the same, eating slowly and leisurely, looking calm as usual.
Grandpa was so anxious and angry that he glared and stood up.
"Grandpa, eat." Li Sicheng called out, but his voice was calm and didn't sound sincere.
Su Qianci put down the bowl, hurried over and said, "Grandpa, let's eat first, and we can talk about this later, okay?"
The old man heard it and glanced at Li Sicheng.
Finding that Li Sicheng had no intention of refusing, he snorted, turned around and sat down.
He knew his grandson too well. As long as he didn't refuse on the spot, there would still be room for turning things around.
It seems that this matter is not entirely Li Sicheng's fault.
The old man picked up the chopsticks, took a few bites, and soon said he was full.
Su Qianci supported the old man and went for a walk in the back garden. When they came back, it was more than ten minutes later.
Li Sicheng was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone. From what he heard, it was about business.
The old man sat quietly on the side while Su Qianci peeled an apple for him.
However, by the time the old man finished eating the apple, Li Sicheng had not yet finished his call.
The old man glared at him and threw the apple core over with a warning look on his face.
Li Sicheng didn't dodge. Instead, he caught the apple core steadily and threw it into the trash can.
He took a wet tissue and wiped his hands, but his tone did not change at all. After a minute or two, the call was hung up.
"Tonight, Qianqian, stay here with Grandpa." The old man sighed softly. Although he was talking to Su Qianci, his eyes were glancing at Li Sicheng. "Grandpa doesn't have much time left. If he can spend more time with his children and grandchildren, he will die with peace of mind."
"Grandpa..." Su Qianci felt sad, "You will live a long life."
"Humph! If I continue to be irritated by you guys like this, even if I were supposed to live a hundred years, my life will be shortened by several decades!"
Su Qianci was speechless and looked at Li Sicheng.
Li Sicheng met her gaze, but it only lasted less than a second before he looked away and said nonchalantly, "Then stay. I have other things to do at the company. If you have nothing else, I'll leave first."
Mr. Li was so angry that he picked up an apple in front of him and threw it at Li Sicheng, shouting, "You stay too!"
Li Sicheng dodged and said confidently: "The company is busy!"
"No, I don't want the company anymore! I, Old Li, don't want your company, but I still have food to eat!" Old Master Li picked up another apple and threw it at him, "Or do you want to piss me off to death on purpose, so that no one will care about you, right? You heartless brat, you ungrateful little bastard!"
