Turns Out, I'm from a Real Aristocratic Family!

Chapter 23: Visit

Cheng Yuqi motioned for the maid to leave, her mind filled with a plan. While Fang Yuan may be their biological daughter, Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui had shared a deeper bond with her over the years, fostering a stronger relationship than with Fang Yuan.

The next morning arrived.

Within Room 206 of Renyi Hospital, the door creaked open as a young man entered. His eyes possessed an unusual depth, his features were exquisite, and an air of nobility emanated from him.

The elderly man lying in bed stirred his fingers and slowly opened his eyes, as if sensing something. Upon seeing his grandson, his gaze softened, and he weakly uttered, "You rascal…"

He parted his parched lips. "You're awake?"

"Where are we?" The old man strained to open his eyes fully, scanning the surroundings. "What's wrong with me?" Why did he feel so feeble and frail?

Bo Yi smiled. "You decided to go on a hunger strike, didn't you?" He had refused to eat or take any medication. Bo Yi was determined to push him to his limits, forcing him to confront his deeds.

The old man, with his grandson's reminder, seemed to recollect the situation. He realized his time was running out, and he desired to hasten his grandson's fate.

Attempting to turn over, the old man winced in pain. "Ouch, it hurts… it hurts…"

Bo Yi didn't assist him in getting up. Instead, he remarked, "You're fortunate to still be alive." The pain should be inconsequential to him.

"You little rascal, can't you be kinder to me when I've just woken up?" The old man lamented, "It's your fault. How long has it been since you last visited me?"

If it weren't for the medication and the critical surgery, this rascal wouldn't have found the time to pay him a visit.

"Why do you have to bring that up?" Every time he came here, his grandfather would mention Cheng Yuqi, the Cheng Family's daughter, and their engagement.

"You! I don't care!" The elderly man turned his head away in anger. "Look at me, I'm already in this state, and one day I might pass away. You must come and visit me with your fiancée tomorrow!"

He responded calmly, "I don't have a fiancée."

"You're trying to provoke me to my death!" The elderly man fumed, "The Bo Family and the Cheng Family have been engaged, and you and Cheng Yuqi must get married! Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain this to the Cheng Family?"

"You were the one who arranged the engagement," Bo Yi's voice remained indifferent. "It's your responsibility to explain it."

"You rascal, oh, my heart…" The old man suddenly clutched his chest, appearing distressed.

"Mu Qing, fetch the doctor quickly!"

Before Mu Qing could act, the old man waved his hand. "No need! I'm telling you, if you don't show up with your fiancée tomorrow, you don't need to call me grandpa anymore, and my life will have nothing to do with you!"

Observing the grandfather and grandson in another argument, Mu Qing attempted to defuse the situation. "Old Master, please don't be angry. Master Bo has been incredibly busy lately…"

"You're single too, why can't you spare some time to focus on your own life?"

"I…" Alright, he was involved as well. How could he remain single? He was dedicated to his work!

"Just find a girlfriend and let others see how happy life can be with one!" The old man deliberately remarked.

Bo Yi set the breakfast down and placed it in front of the Old Master. "Mu Qing is indeed searching for a girlfriend, and you're managing his love life now?"

"I'll do it!" The old man agreed outright. Mu Qing was about to be touched, but then the old man added, "Actually, that won't happen. But Mu Qing, if you do find a girlfriend, I promise to ensure this rascal gives you more days off or guarantees no overtime work on weekends. I'll even give you a generous red envelope so that he can hire more assistants to share your workload!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing felt immensely touched.

"And most importantly, your salary and benefits should be increased!" Grandpa Sheng chimed in.

"You're absolutely right, Old Master!" Mu Qing was deeply moved, expressing his unwavering loyalty. "You're right, Master Bo should consider his own life! Don't worry, I'll advocate the benefits of marriage and encourage him to tie the knot as soon as possible!"

"Yes, you're correct! Look at how Mu Qing thinks. You're the only stubborn one!" As Grandpa Sheng praised others, he even scolded his grandson.

Mu Qing gratefully accepted the praise.

"Mu Qing, there's a project in Africa that requires personnel."

Upon hearing Bo Yi's words, Mu Qing panicked. "Master Bo, what I meant was…"

Bo Yi interjected, "Pack your belongings tonight, you'll be leaving tomorrow."
