Chapter 570: Chapter 565: Found
Chu Zhan and Li Chao arrived in S Province and began searching for Miao Qingqing’s whereabouts.
Seeing the somewhat dilapidated building, Chu Zhan stepped in.
“Ah, excuse me, are you looking for a place to stay?” The hotel staff stopped Chu Zhan and Li Chao as they wanted to enter.
“We’re looking for Miao Qingqing,” Chu Zhan explained.
“Oh, I see.” The staff member didn’t expect that to be their purpose.
“Is she in her room?” Chu Zhan, who had fought in the war and had killed people, had an imposing presence that ordinary people couldn’t withstand.
“Oh, yes, she is.” The staff member hastily replied, finding them quite intimidating.
Chu Zhan and Li Chao were dressed in civilian clothes today, not military uniforms. Apart from their extraordinary presence and standing upright, there was no other difference between them and others.
The staff member’s strong reaction could only mean she had not seen much of the world.
The sound of knocking echoed through the room, and Miao Qingqing got out of bed and put on her shoes.
“Who is it?” Miao Qingqing wondered who would come looking for her at this time. Could it be Xiao Yu?
“Qingqing, it’s me.” Chu Zhan’s serious and stern voice came through the door.
“Old man, why did he come?” Miao Qing mumbled to herself upon hearing this.
“Old partner, how did you get here?” Miao Qingqing opened the door to see Chu Zhan with an ashen face and Li Chao hurriedly signaling her with his eyes. She hesitantly asked.
“How did I get here? How can you even ask that? Do you know how worried everyone was when you left like this?” Chu Zhan was truly infuriated by his old wife.
“Who told you not to help me find my dear grandson?” Miao Qingqing was so angry her eyes turned red. None of them wanted to help her find her eldest grandson, and she didn’t know how much longer she had left to live.
What was wrong with her wanting to find her grandson? If they didn’t want the grandson, could she not look for him herself?
“You’re being unreasonable.” Chu Zhan knew it would be like this but couldn’t understand why she had become so insistent on finding the grandson who had left home over ten years ago.
“So what if I’m unreasonable? Get out, all of you! Anyone who tries to stop me from finding my grandson, don’t blame me for getting angry. Go, go, go! Get out of here!” Miao Qingqing was a spirited and straightforward person in her youth, becoming more subdued after marrying Chu Zhan and following him around.
Now, she was so angry that she chased everyone away. No one was allowed to stand in her way of finding her grandson.
“Qingqing, can’t you listen to me?” Chu Zhan looked at his wife with a headache.
“No, Chu Zhan, let me make this clear to you. I won’t go back until I find my grandson. Don’t bother trying to lecture me on anything.” Miao Qingqing wasn’t afraid of Chu Zhan.
“Qingqing, your body can’t handle this. Can you please come back with me?” Chu Zhan softened his voice and pleaded with his old wife.
“No, you guys can go back. I won’t go with you.” Miao Qingqing was determined not to give up this opportunity. She had a feeling that she would soon see her grandson.
“Then, you can take your time searching. We’ll leave.” Chu Zhan was so furious that he couldn’t reason with her anymore.
Chu Zhan left with Li Chao, and Miao Qingqing slammed the door shut.
She knew her grandson felt wronged, so he didn’t want to go home, but he should have told her, his grandmother.
“Old man, are we really going to leave the old lady here alone and go back?” Li Chao looked worriedly at Chu Zhan and asked.
“You stay with her, and I’ll go back.” Chu Zhan was frustrated. How was he chased away by his old partner with just a few words?
“No, I can’t let you go back alone. It seems that the old lady is relatively safe here. I’ll send you back first, then come back and follow her. What do you think?” Li Chao made a suggestion.
Taking care of Chu Zhan was his responsibility, and he couldn’t neglect his duty.
