Chapter 541: Grandfather’s Hope

“Great-grandfather…” Joy called out again.

“Good.” Grandpa Gu patted Joy’s head.

“Grandpa, all your wishes have come true. You can rest peacefully now.” Gu Shaoting said with a smile.

The old man, who had been expressionless before, suddenly had a smile on his face. His eyes darted back and forth between Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan.

“Panpan, come and sit with Joy.” Grandpa Gu patted the edge of the bed and said.

Shu Pan saw that the old man had lost weight, but he was still in good spirits, so she felt a little more at ease.

“This brat finally did something right. Panpan, it’s really hard on you two.” The old man said sadly, glaring at Gu Shaoting as he spoke.

Gu Shaoting didn’t refute, but he looked at the old man with a gentle gaze. It wasn’t hard to see that he was filial to his grandfather.

Thinking of all the difficulties between them, Shu Pan said sincerely, “Grandpa, it’s all in the past. We’ll be very happy in the future.”

“What a good child.” The old master patted her hand. It was rare to find someone so considerate.

The nurse pushed the door open and came in with medicine and a cup of water in her hands. It was time to take his medications again.

“There is nothing wrong with my body now. Why do I have to take so much medicine every day? It’s almost turning into an addict.” When the old man saw the nurse come in, he waved his hand, indicating that he was unwilling to take the medications.

Shu Pan smiled helplessly. Grandpa was like a child sometimes. Looking at him now, he looked a little like a lazy Joy.

Shu Pan turned around and took the tray from the nurse’s hand, indicating that she would do it. The nurse immediately revealed a grateful smile. Seemingly, serving the old man’s medicine was a challenge.

“Grandpa, for the sake of your health, you still have to take your medications on time. Don’t you want to spend more time with your great-granddaughter?” Shu Pan guided him slowly. There was a saying that when one was old, they would become a child and needed to be coaxed.

The old man thought about it and agreed. Besides, his granddaughter-in-law was still around. He couldn’t let others see him like this, so he obediently took the medicine.

When everyone saw this, they smiled from the bottom of their hearts. It seemed that only Shu Pan could control Grandpa Gu.

“Grandpa, I came here today to discuss something with you. You’ve been staying at second uncle’s house for so long. I want to ask you to come stay at my place next. I’ve moved to the Qiyuan now.” Gu Shaoting lowered his body and asked the old Master.

“This…” The old master was very tempted when he heard the offer. However, he didn’t know what Shu Pan thought about the arrangement.

After all, young people nowadays like to be free and did not want to stay with the elderly.

Shu Pan saw the old master’s hesitation and quickly said, “Grandpa, come stay with us. It’s lively and you have Joy to talk to you.” Shu Pan said.

“That’s right, great-grandpa. I’ll tell you stories too.” Joy said in a dignified manner.

“Alright.” Seeing that they were all so eager to persuade him, the old master agreed immediately.

That’s great. Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Shaoting was very grateful to Shu Pan. She was a good woman who thought of him in every way.

With Grandpa staying with them, they would be able to fulfil their filial piety.

Gu Shaoting turned around and went to talk to his second uncle about the matter while Shu Pan and Joy were talking to Grandpa.

Initially, the second uncle was worried about disturbing them, but seeing Gu Shaoting’s insistence, he finally agreed.

Shu Pan helped Grandpa pack his things and prepared to bring him home.
