Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser Chapter 174 - Grateful Grandpa Zhou!

Chapter 174: Grateful Grandpa Zhou!

Zhu Bocheng realized what he had just said. He gritted his teeth and said to Grandpa Zhou, “Grandpa, everything I just said was nonsense. Don’t believe it!”
Grandpa Zhou: … He didn’t believe it at first, but after listening to how this grandson tried to deceive him, he really believed it.
Grandpa Zhou didn’t think much of it earlier. He just thought that this grandson of his, Bocheng, was just bringing a good friend over. When he heard his grandson’s words, however, he suddenly exploded. He stared at Chi Shuyan in disbelief, understanding even less who on earth this girl was.
How on earth did he get such a heaven-defying thing?
Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou had seen too much of the world, so he quickly calmed down. Even after calming down, his gaze on Chi Shuyan was still somewhat incredulous and solemn.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t expect this brat Zhu Bocheng to actually expose Chi Shuyan. However, he knew this Elder Zhou very well. Elder Zhou naturally understood how important this matter was. In addition, Qi Zhenbai’s wife had inadvertently saved the life of the Zhou family’s old madam. Given Grandpa Zhou’s character, it was impossible for him to repay kindness with ingratitude, so he would naturally keep it a secret for Qi Zhenbai’s wife.
But he didn’t plan to tell this brat Zhu Bocheng any more secrets in the future. This boy’s mouth was too unreliable. He only just told him to keep it quiet, and he already forgot about it.
One really had to be in awe of this brain.
Qi Zhenbai motioned to the woman beside him not to panic.
In fact, not only didn’t Chi Shuyan panic, she was also very calm. Forget the fact that she still had a trump card, her thoughts were similar to Qi Zhenbai’s. Since the man was so close to Qi Zhenbai, his character should be good. She had saved the life of the Zhou family’s old madam, but it was unlikely that Grandpa Zhou would leak this information.
And at this man’s calm nod, the last bit of trepidation in her heart was swept away.
Chi Shuyan didn’t realize her inexplicable trust and dependence on the man beside her at all.
If Grandpa Zhou had only been affectionate toward Chi Shuyan because of his favorable impression of her and Qi Zhenbai, he was now genuinely grateful to this child at that moment for giving Bocheng the spirit rice; his wife would still be suffering if it wasn’t for this spirit rice.
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou’s relationship was different from other married couples. They had supported each other through hard times when they were young, which was a clear indication of the depth of their feelings.
Before, when the hospital confirmed that Old Madam Zhou was dying of stomach cancer, the first thing Grandpa Zhou did when he returned to the Zhou house was to leave a will and choose a couple’s grave; once his wife passed, he didn’t plan to live for much longer after that.
So, one could imagine how grateful Grandpa Zhou was to Chi Shuyan right now. She practically saved both their lives, so calling her the savior of both husband and wife wasn’t an exaggeration.
Grandpa Zhou looked at Chi Shuyan with much love and affection, and was moved to tears of gratitude. For the first time in his life, Grandpa Zhou was incoherent with gratitude. His hands kept trembling.
Like Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou was someone who repaid kindness with kindness. Knowing that the little girl standing next to her grandson was her savior, she was even more excited and wanted to get out of bed to personally thank her.
Chi Shuyan hurriedly stopped Old Madam Zhou. “Old Madam Zhou, this is my fate with you and Old Master Zhou. Also, if it wasn’t because Aunt Zhu sent you the spirit rice, how would I have the fortune to know you?”
These words were spoken with perfect propriety and courtesy, and didn’t drag, and there was sincerity in her eyes. Grandpa and Grandma Zhou thought even more highly of her. To say nothing of their favorable impression of her, they itched to acknowledge her as their granddaughter on the spot. Grandpa Zhou even clicked his tongue and praised Qi Zhenbai. “You brat, you chose a good wife, you really chose well!” If it wasn’t because Zhenbai’s eye was so good, he would have gotten Chengcheng to strike first and marry her!
