YRMD-103 He Has Faith In Him

---

Zhan walked to Fengmian’s bed. Seeing the much thinner Grandpa and thinking of what Fengmian had just said, he couldn’t hold back the sad emotions inside.

“Zhan, come here. Let me take a good look at you.” Grandpa tapped the edge of the bed.

“Grandpa.” When he called out to Grandpa, Zhan’s eyes red.

“Why are you crying?” Fengmian coaxed him, “It’s my fault for making you worry again.”

“No, Grandpa. It is because Yibo bullies me.” Zhan looked like a child who was complaining to his elders. His eyes were clear and charming.

Fengmian looked at Yibo who came in after him and smiled, “Zhan, I will believe you if you say that Yibo is not good in other ways. But I definitely do not believe that he will bully you.”

“Grandpa, you are biased.” Zhan was unhappy, “You ignore me after I married Yibo.”

Yibo looked pitiful, “How dare I bully you with Grandpa around?”

“Zhan, I have eyes. I can see how good Yibo is to you. I also remember how good he is to me.” Fengmian was grateful inside. If it wasn’t for Yibo spending money and manpower to cure him, he would have been gone.

Fortunately, he survived until Zhan and Yibo got married. He sent his beloved grandson to the man who loved him, fulfilling his last wish.

Zhan knew how good Yibo was and did not contradict what Fengmian said.

“Grandpa, let me pare an apple for you.” Zhan changed the subject.

“Zhan, wait. I want to talk to you.” Fengmian took his hand and stopped him from getting up.

Zhan listened attentively.

“I just discussed with Yibo. When I get out of the hospital, I will go back home to see your Grandma and tell her the good news of you and Yibo getting married. She will be happy too.”

“Well, Grandpa, it sounds great. We’ll listen to you.” Zhan smiled and agreed, “I also want to go back to worship Grandma.”

“I’ll make the arrangements. Let’s have a rest first and leave the day after tomorrow.” Yibo was always the one who made all the arrangements.

“OK,”

Zhan then peeled the apple, cut it into small pieces, and gave it to Grandpa with a small fork.

“Grandpa, eat more fruit. The apple is very sweet and delicious.”

“Alright.”

“Grandpa, I’ll read the news to you.”

“Grandpa, it is time to have a meal. These are all your favorite food.”

“Grandpa, I’ll massage your shoulders and legs.”

“Grandpa, tell me a story about my childhood….”

“Grandpa….”

Zhan turned the sadness and reluctance in his heart into motivation, cherishing every minute he spent with Fengmian, hoping that he could make Grandpa happy every day in these last days.

Jingtong came to the hospital the next day, did not see Fengmian, and only stayed for an hour and left.

She came to the hospital on the third day again when Fengmian was discharged, Fengmian finally saw Jingtong before he left and said to her.

“Jingtong, don’t visit me anymore. Just live the life you want.”

“Dad….”

“Go back.”

Fengmian got in the special car that Yibo had prepared to the airport and took the Wang family’s private plane back to Tianjin.

There was a professional medical team on board in case of emergency.

In addition to the doctor, Fanxing was also there. He arranged everything for Yibo.

Fengmian could lie down on the plane, so that he wouldn’t be too tired.

The whole trip was very nice. After arriving at the airport in Tianjin, they had lunch and moved, and then took a special car to the hometown.

Not only was Fengmian not tired, but he was in good spirits and very happy on the way.

The closer they got to home, the brighter the smile on Fengmian’s face.

He would talk something about the familiar sights when he saw them, while Zhan and Yibo would listen to him attentively.

At 4 p. m., they finally got to the village.

This time, two luxury cars drove into the Fengmian family and were parked in the yard. This situation aroused the curiosity of the villagers.

They all came to the Fengmian family.

Then, they saw that Mr. Fengmian came back, Fengmian greeted them loudly with a deep smile on his face. This kind of happiness could not be faked but came from his heart.

Seeing Fengmian in such good spirits and mood at this moment, Zhan also smiled and his eyes were wet a bit.

Yibo stood beside him, reached out, and gently held his shoulder.

“Isn’t this good? Why are you crying?”

“Grandpa hasn’t smiled like this for a long time.” Zhan gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, “I am just glad to see Grandpa like this. This is the grandpa I know, I think I finally understand how Grandpa feels now.”

“As long as Grandpa is happy, everything is worth it.” Yibo naturally felt that.

When people were outside, they would finally return to their hometown.

Only then could they truly feel at ease.

Zhan nodded in agreement. Although he still had mixed feelings, it was good as long as Grandpa was happy.

“Fanxing, distribute the things you brought to guys.” Yibo had asked someone to prepare some gifts before they returned.

Fanxing took the order and distributed the things to the neighbors who came with the medical team.

Ms. Rwilli also came to join in the fun. She not only got the gift, but also saw Zhan, and was extremely happy.

Ms. Rwilli gave Zhan a warm hug with tears in her eyes, “Mr. Wang, Zhan, I have thought I would never see you again. I did not expect you to come back so soon. I’m so happy.”

“Grandpa felt homesick. So we came back.” Zhan looked at the warm-hearted and pure neighbors, and felt warmed, “What are you crying about?”

“I’m just happy.” Ms. Rwilli smiled with tears in her eyes, “How long will you stay here this time? Tomorrow, I will make fish for you.”

“I don’t know. I’ll stay as long as I can.” Zhan replied after some thought.

At this time, the neighbors who had received the gifts came to thank Yibo and Zhan with a big smile on their faces.

They all warmly invited Yibo and Zhan to their home for dinner.

Fengmian silenced the people, “Guys, I have good news for you. Zhan and Yibo got married. These are their wedding gifts to everyone. Thank you all for your care and help to me.”

During the period when Fengmian left, it was the neighbors who helped him farm and watch his house.

“Mr. Fengmian, don’t mention it. We are all neighbors and should help each other.”

“So are we going to attend Mr. Wang and Zhan’s wedding?”

Fengmian looked at Yibo and Zhan, thinking of that they had just had their wedding and he fell ill before they could come to. He didn’t want to trouble them and tried to retort, “They just came back to see you guys……

“Grandpa, leave it to me.” After getting Fengmian’s approval, Yibo then spoke, “Guys, the day after tomorrow, we will hold a wedding here. Everyone can come and don’t need to offer red envelopes.”

These people were excited when they heard this. The village hadn’t had a wedding for a long time.

Then the neighbors dispersed.

Fengmian said, “Yibo, it is late today. Isn’t it too hasty to have a wedding in three days? In fact, you don’t have to do so.”

“Grandpa, it is just a happy thing. It’s good for everyone to have fun together. Besides, if Zhan and I have a wedding here, Grandma can also see it.” Yibo was thoughtful, “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”

Fengmian understood and was grateful, and then went to rest.

Zhan did not expect that Yibo was this kind as a great president. He would even have a wedding in such a small place the day after tomorrow. Small villages were always not as good as big cities in all aspects. It was really too hasty and hard.

“Are you sure you can do it the day after… tomorrow?” Zhan was still worried.

Yibo raised his hand to watch his watch and looked to Fanxing, “There are 55 hours between now and noon the day after tomorrow. Fanxing, show me your ability. If you do a good job on this, you can get whatever you want, whether it’s a promotion, a raise, or a bonus.”

Fanxing frowned. He was reluctant, but had to take the order, “Mr. Wang, I will do a good job. I don’t want a promotion, a raise, or a bonus.”

“Then what do you want, Fanxing? Just say it.” Zhan felt that this was indeed difficult for Fanxing and wanted to fulfill his wish.

“I want Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang to give me a wife.” Fanxing was very sad.

In fact, he had several girlfriends. His first love in college broke up with him because of graduation. When he just started to work, his girlfriend broke up with him because he was poor. Then after he became Yibo’s assistant, he broke up with his girlfriend again because he had no time to spend with her….

Now he became a middle-aged man. He really suffered from a hard lot. Every day he saw Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang do PDA, he was envious.

Zhan’s eyes widened when he heard the request. He couldn’t believe Fanxing was still single, “With your condition, it shouldn’t be hard to have a girlfriend, right?”

“It takes time to make girlfriends. I work hard every day. I’m… I’m tired.” Fanxing said pitifully.

“Fanxing, are you complaining about me?” Yibo raised his left eyebrow lightly.

Fanxing spoke as if he was very dissatisfied with Yibo.

“Of course I am not.” Fanxing immediately shook his head with a smile on his face, “I am envious of Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang’s good relationship, and also want to have a partner.”

“If you do a good job this time, I can fix you up with the lady in Beijing whoever you take a fancy. But it relies on your efforts if you want her to be your wife.” Yibo promised.

“Or maybe we can give Fanxing a month off and let him go looking for his right girl?” Zhan also suggested.

“Can I have both?” Fanxing grinned.

“I’ll see how you do.” Yibo glanced at his watch again, “You only have 18 hours and 45 minutes left.”

Fanxing gritted his teeth and encouraged himself, “I’ll fight for my own lifelong happiness!”

After saying that, Fanxing left quickly.

Zhan saw that Fanxing was energetic and seemed to slog his guts out.

“Hubby, I suddenly feel so sorry for Fanxing,” Zhan sighed.

“What are you talking about?” Yibo glanced at him coldly.

“Are you jealous of Fanxing?” Zhan frowned, “You’re too overbearing!”

“You can only have me in your eyes and heart.” Yibo pointed to Zhan’s left chest with sharp eyes, “And you will know I can be more overbearing!”

With that, Yibo then kissed him fiercely.

With Fanxing’s great efforts, the wedding banquet was held as scheduled on the square of the Jiang family’s county.

There were too many people, so only the square could accommodate so many guests.

There was a long row of serving tables. The wedding scene was so jubilant that it was like having a New Year Party.

Although Yibo and Zhan didn’t take any red envelopes from everyone, the enthusiastic villagers sent them some things, such as local chicken (duck) eggs, beans, sweet potatoes, peanuts, dried pork and beef, and even live chicken, ducks and rabbits…

The countryside customs were way out of line with Yibo’s noble temperament, but he was very polite with the villagers.

No matter what the situation was, Yibo would adapt himself to it.

Yibo and Zhan raised their glasses to the villagers who came to their wedding party.

“Cross-cupped wine.”

Zhan and Yibo looked like a perfect match and the villagers clapped with cheers to ask them to drink cross-cupped wine.

Yibo and Zhan gave in to their enthusiasm. They faced each other, wrapped their arms around each other and drank the wine.

“Wish Zhan and Mr. Wang a happy marriage!”

“Zhan is blessed to be loved by Mr. Wang. He’s getting younger and prettier.”

“Mr. Wang is handsome and rich, What a good luck that Zhan marries Mr. Wang.”

The happiest of all was Grandpa, who was surrounded by the villagers and received congratulations.

In the afternoon, Yibo and Zhan helped Grandpa to Grandma’s grave and they put some fruit cakes and meat on the grave.

Grandpa picked up a cloth to wipe the Grandma’s photos, and tidies up Grandma’s grave.

The grave next to her grandmother’s was Wei Ming’s.

Zhan looked at it for a long time, and his mood was very different from the last time he came here.

He stepped forward and put the fruit and wine in front of the tomb, staring at the name ‘Wei Ming’.

His fingertips trembled as he reached over the carved name.

‘Are you really my father?’ Zhan thought doubtfully.

Yibo did not disturb him, but looked at him in silence.

After Grandpa sorted out the weeds and branches, he stood in front of the grave with a glass of wine.

And Yibo and Zhan stood behind Grandpa.

Grandpa smiled and said, “Dear, Yibo and Zhan get married and they hold a wedding party in the village. All the villagers came to congratulate us. See, they are still having fun now.”

“Dear, Yibo, Zhan and I have come to see you again and brought you some wedding cakes and fruit. How are you now? I will be with you soon. I miss you so much…”

“Here’s a toast to you, dear.”

With that, they poured the wine on the ground.

“Yibo, Zhan, you go home first. I want to spend some time with your grandmother alone.”

“Grandpa, we’ll pick you up later,” said Yibo, and then left with Zhan.

Yibo was walking on the country road, with Zhan’s hand in his.

The fields were planted with oranges, pomelos…

The aroma of melon drifted along the road this made Yibo and Zhan feel fresh.

“Tell me if you have something on your mind.” Zhan kept lowering his head and was not high-spirited, so Yibo was a bit worried.

“No.” Zhan shook his head.

“You can rely on me. Don’t bear everything alone.” Yibo stopped and held his shoulders. “You are like a blank sheet of paper for me and I can see everything clearly.”

Zhan’s eyelids quivered and his lips tightened.

“I heard what Grandpa has said to you.” he whispered.

“You want to know if Wei Ming is your father, but you are afraid to know.” Yibo guessed it right.

Zhan nodded, “Yes, I’m afraid.”

“You are not afraid that you are not the son of the Xiao family, but that he’s your father, and that your mother killed him.” Yibo spoke out what was on Zhan’s mind.

“Would your family accept me if I am not the son of the Xiao family but an ordinary man? Would I disgrace you, and make you be laughed at for marrying such an ordinary person?” Zhan was worried and felt extremely diffident.

“What makes you think so?” Yibo held his wife face in his hands.

“Do I need anyone else to tell me what kind of person should I marry? Do you think there will be men who dare laugh at me?”

“Now that you are my wife, you are a member of the Wang family. Don’t you think you see yourself as an outsider by saying that? Zhan, you birth can’t determine who you are. Besides, what others think can’t change my decision to give you happiness. Do you believe me?”

Zhan nodded heavily.

Zhan trusted him completely.

“If you trust me, don’t care about anything. Just believe that we can be happy.” Yibo told him to concentrate on their life and not to care about too many voices from the outside world, which would only disturb his mind.

Zhan nodded again.

Yibo let Zhan rest on his shoulder and they looked at the horizon. The blue sky had been dyed orange by the sun, and gradually turned to gold. It was very beautiful.

“The sky is so beautiful.”

“Our lives will be more beautiful than this.”

“Yes.”

Looking at the beautiful scenery, Zhan and Yibo forgot all the troubles in their hearts for the moment.

An hour later, they went back to pick up Grandpa.

From a distance, they saw Grandpa leaning against the cold gravestone, as if he depended on her.

As they approached, they saw Grandpa’s eyes closed as if he were asleep.

A faint orange-gold glow lit up his face, and he wore a contented smile.

“Grandpa…” Zhan called him.

But his grandfather didn’t answer him, and he began to panic.

Yibo reached for Grandpa’s nose and carotid artery. Zhan stared at Yibo doing this with his eyes wide open.

Yibo then shook his head at him. “Grandpa passed away.”

Zhan stood still, tears welling up in his eyes, and then flowed down his face.

Zhan couldn’t believe his grandfather had left them so suddenly.

Yibo felt distressed as he saw that Zhan was trying to hold back his tears.

He hugged him and said, “It’s all right to cry.”

“Grandpa…” Zhan called to Grandpa loudly, but he could not hear him anymore.
