Chapter 859: Old child

~4 min read 751 words

Shen Jingjing was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

It was the first time she had heard that the old man had such a hobby, but seeing Uncle Feng speak so frankly and smoothly, she thought she was definitely not the first person to know.

"Big Brother and the others know, right?" Shen Jingjing asked, suppressing the surprise in her heart.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Uncle Feng's face, and he nodded stutteringly. Obviously, he was talking about the old man's affairs, but he himself was also a person of age, and speaking such words out loud, he also felt a bit ashamed.

Shen Jingjing calmed down at the door, sorted out her thoughts, took a deep breath, and then put on a warm smile the moment she pushed the door open: "Dad!"

"The old man is lying upstairs." Uncle Feng hurriedly reminded.

Shen Jingjing:...

Wasted half a day of expression management.

She went up the stairs, knocked on the old man's door, and called out again: "Dad!"

In the room, the old man was fiddling with the blood pressure monitor himself. Seeing this, Shen Jingjing hurriedly walked to the bed and reached out to take it: "I'll help you."

The old man's gaze swept over the door, only seeing Uncle Feng's figure, before turning to look at Shen Jingjing, his tone carrying a bit of probing: "You came back by yourself?"

"Yeah, Yuanliang originally wanted to come back with me to see you, but there was an emergency in the group, so I let him go to handle official business first." Shen Jingjing said while helping the old man adjust his posture, and whispered, "Relax a bit, straighten your arm a little more..."

"Why bother with this long journey. My blood pressure just fluctuated a little, and it will be fine immediately after taking the antihypertensive medicine." The old man waved his hand, his tone light.

Shen Jingjing looked at him helplessly: "You say it lightly, but as younger generations, how can we truly feel at ease?"

"It's fine, it's an old problem of many years, it doesn't matter." The old man still acted tough, but his heart was warm.

People are mostly like this when they get old. No matter how tough they are on the outside, they ultimately hope that their children and family can think of them and spend more effort caring about them. His daughter-in-law drove through the heavy rain to see him; this intention made the old man happy from the bottom of his heart.

"The road is slippery on this rainy day, so stay for dinner at noon. Your Big Brother and Sister-in-law went abroad, and I haven't seen anyone from the family here for many days." The old man took the initiative to ask her to stay.

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing subconsciously glanced at Uncle Feng standing to the side. Uncle Feng stood upright, his expression calm, as if he had long been used to it.

In this manor, there are nearly ten people just for gardening and housekeeping, with Uncle Feng overseeing them all as the butler. It is just that, in daily life, everyone performs their own duties and rarely wanders in front of the old master; when not working, they stay in their own rooms, and they have dedicated staircases and back doors for entering and exiting, which keeps things quite quiet.

Shen Jingjing knew in her heart that these servants were outsiders after all. Even if Uncle Feng had a close relationship with the old man, it couldn't compare to the company of family that made him happy. What the old man really wanted was just to stay with his family for a lively time.

"Alright, then I'll accompany you for dinner today." Shen Jingjing agreed readily.

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on the old man's face instantly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out: "Whatever you want to eat, tell the nanny and let her make it for you."

Shen Jingjing's attention had been on the blood pressure monitor, and seeing that the value on the screen had indeed dropped, she finally felt relieved. She took off the instrument while not forgetting to remind: "Dad, you know your own body best. You are sturdy everywhere else, it's just that your blood pressure is unstable. You must pay attention to it and can't really not take it seriously." ===== CHAPTER 860 =====
