Pointing at each person as he spoke about the past, Grandpa Shu suddenly started wailing again, saying that nobody cared about him anymore, that nobody came to visit him for an entire year, leaving him all alone here like a solitary old man...
At first, everyone found it amusing in a bittersweet way, but Grandpa Shu's cries soon made all of them feel heavy-hearted once more.
Normally, Grandpa Shu had a strong, prideful personality and would never express these kinds of feelings in front of them.
Every time Jiaojiao called him, he would speak cheerfully, never once bringing up the topic of wanting them to visit him.
This was the first time—the Ruan Family couldn't help but feel sorrowful. Shu Jiao, especially, was already wiping away streams of tears. Shu Lang had been too busy with his research and hadn't been back home for the holidays in two years; Shu Wen had been accompanying Grandpa Shu during this time.
