<h4>Chapter 779: Chapter 767 Qiao Jing Became the Darling of the Group</h4>


    Thinking of these, Xu Moqian couldn’t help but sigh deeply.


    On the other end of the phone, hearing his grandson only sigh without saying a word, Xu Hongzu had a pretty good idea of what was going on.


    He couldn’t help but sigh himself and consoled, "Well, since there’s no chance, you might as well ept it and move on. I remember I also went through a rough time back in the day and it took me quite a while toe out of the shadows. I understand how you feel now."


    It seemed that they, grandfather and grandson, were both suffering from the same type of sadness!


    Hearing this, Xu Moqian didn’t feelforted at all, but instead felt even worse.


    He had held on to this rtionship for so long, and now it had been sentenced to death. The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he became!!


    After another moment of silence, Xu Moqian, with a dejected face, said in a low voice, "Isn’t it, Grandpa, are you just letting me give up like that?"


    At these words, Xu Hongzu, who had just calmed down, felt his anger re up again.


    He snorted coldly into the phone and said sternly, "What else? What do you want me to do? You can’t beat him, you can’t think of any solutions, you don’t have a chance, since the oue is already certain, what can I do except console you a bit?"


    Xu Moqian was scolded again and felt utterly dejected.


    After a long while, he let out a sigh and said weakly, "All right, Grandpa, thanks for trying tofort me. I won’t take up any more of your time. Go back to your research. I’ll just be sad for a little longer, hanging up now."


    Xu Hongzu could tell that his grandson was really heartbroken this time.


    No matter what, it was still his own flesh and blood, so he softened his tone and offered a few more words of constion.


    "Don’t be too sad. I’ve been through it myself, and even though it was hard at the time, I got over itter. So, you’d better cheer up a bit. Life is about looking forward."


    "I get it, Grandpa. It’s just that I’m feeling a bit upset. I’ll work through it myself, hanging up now."


    After that, Xu Moqian hung up the phone.


    Having talked with his grandfather for a while, although the sadness in his heart hadn’t lessened, his mood had stabilized a lotpared to before.


    After putting away his phone, Xu Moqian wandered alone in the hallway for a while before he couldn’t help himself and went to the hospital room where Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were staying.


    He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.


    He didn’t even know what he was thinking, maybe it was to verify once more.


    After all, he just couldn’t ept it and didn’t want to believe it!


    However, the moment the door swung open, what Xu Moqian saw was Qiao Jing assisting Zhan Qipei out of the bathroom.


    Qiao Jing’s fair, cream-like cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, and her expression was unusually shy, something rarely seen before.


    Zhan Qipei, on the other hand, had his lips curved and was looking down at her with affectionate eyes that clearly contained a smile.


    Seeing this scene, Xu Moqian, caught off guard, experienced the heart-wrenching feeling once again.


    After all, anyone could tell what the two of them had just been up to.


    His Sister Jing, after feeding by hand and scratching itches, had now personally assisted Zhan Qipei to the bathroom to relieve himself!!!


    For a moment, Xu Moqian felt an icy chill in his heart.


    Looking at it this way, Sister Jing had genuinely decided to be with Zhan Qipei, and there was no hope for him...


    Hearing the noise, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei both turned to look.


    Seeing Xu Moqian standing motionless at the door, Zhan Qipei’s brows showed a flicker of impatience, "What are you doing here again?"


    He was thinking of taking advantage of this perfect atmosphere to do something with Qiao Jing, when this person had toe and disturb them, which was really annoying!


    Xu Moqian came back to his senses and suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Zhan Qipei’s cor with an unprecedented seriousness in his expression.


    "Zhan Qipei, listen to me carefully. Since Sister Jing has chosen you, I’ll magnanimously let you have her,"


    "But if you ever dare to bully her, be bad to her, let her suffer grievances, or do anything that wrongs her, I won’t let you off the hook. Even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay a painful price!"


    Hearing these words, Qiao Jing was somewhat touched in her heart.


    She had always known about the younger fourth’s affection for her.


    But not all feelings happen to be mutual, liking each other just right.


    Qiao Jing’s eyebrows slightly lifted as she looked at Xu Moqian, speaking indifferently, "Don’t worry, if he dares to wrong me, I won’t let him off myself. You won’t need to lift a finger."


    Zhan Qipei forcibly shook off Xu Moqian’s hand, ignoring his solemn warning. He just tightened his arm around Qiao Jing’s waist and began to speak with a maic voice.


    "I also won’t give you the chance to intervene because I will absolutely never do anything to wrong you."


    Watching Zhan Qipei tightly embracing Qiao Jing, Xu Moqian couldn’t stand it anymore and stormed out once again.


    ...


    After spending a few days recovering in the hospital, Zhan Qipei was discharged.


    Upon leaving the hospital, he took Qiao Jing home with him.


    Knowing that the two wereing back, Su Manhan, Zhan Yao, and Zhan Nanqing had gathered early in the living room to wee them and help them settle back in.


    "Didn’t they say they were on the way when they phoned just now? It’s almost half an hour, why haven’t theye back yet?"


    Su Manhan sat on the sofa, eagerly anticipating, growing a bit impatient, and couldn’t help mumbling a few words.


    Zhan Nanqing also stretched her neck, looking towards the door, "They should be here soon, maybe there’s traffic on the road."


    Seeing the two of them so anxious, Zhan Yao spoke, "You two shouldn’t be in such a hurry. Since they said they areing back, they will definitely return."


    As soon as his voice fell, the sound of the door opening was heard, apanied by a series of footsteps.


    Hearing the noise, Su Manhan sprang up from the sofa, her expression somewhat excited, "They’re here, they’re back!"


    As soon as Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei entered the living room, they were surrounded by Su Manhan and the others.


    Su Manhan took Qiao Jing’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand.


    "Qiao Jing, you’ve finallye back. I’ve been so worried these days. Even though I knew Qipei had found you and was with you, my heart couldn’t settle down until I saw you myself."


    Qiao Jing tugged at her lips, smiling lightly in response, "I’m fine, sorry for making you all worry."


    "As long as you’re okay, that’s good, that’s good."


    After repeating herself, Su Manhan then asked with concern, "How have you been eating these days? Are you sleeping well? You’re pregnant now, which isn’t easy. All this back and forth must have been exhausting, right?"


    Just thinking about Qiao Jing being pregnant and put through all this made her feel unbearably heartbroken!


    "I’ve been quite alright..."


    Before Qiao Jing could finish her sentence, Zhan Yao handed her a ss of warm water.


    "Have a sip of water first before talking. You must be thirsty after rushing here from the hospital. Drink up, and I’ll go make you a cup of tea. The tea leaves we’ve picked thesest few days have a pretty good vor."
