After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 286, Episode 0304: A Triumph!

Lin Yuexi didn't stay at the Xinghuo Base for long and returned to the military nursing home just before lunchtime.

She had a plan in mind. After starting work tomorrow, she estimated that she wouldn't be able to return for at least six months. Her superiors valued her, and she wanted to reciprocate. Moreover, she couldn't stand those foreign devils constantly making noise, so she decided to do something big.

After lunch, Lin Yuexi accompanied the old man for another walk.

The effect of having breakfast with the First and Second Elders in Zhonghai this morning was evident; apart from the patrolling and guarding soldiers, we didn't encounter anyone else along the way.

Old Leng scoffed at this, "My dear, did you see that? These people are just asking for trouble. They only behave after being warned."

caveat?

Did the two elderly people personally take charge?
Seeing her confusion, the old man whispered to her, "The Second Elder had his secretary call them one by one to warn them. These people, the country remembers them, and they can enjoy their old age, but some of them are just not satisfied. They've grown up while enjoying their retirement, and now they think it's ancient times, wanting to do something like a meritorious service to the emperor or something?"

Lin Yuexi: "..."

Her grandfather was good at describing things.

“We’re not even strong enough yet. We don’t have the confidence to speak up in the Allied countries. And these people are only thinking about how to benefit themselves.”

“I don’t care if they make a move on other people, but if they dare to make a move on my granddaughter, a warning is too lenient.”

There are many things that the old man doesn't need Lin Yuexi to do; he will handle them for her.

But while she doesn't need to do anything, she can't be completely unaware of everything.

It's not about showing off how powerful this old man is or how much he loves his granddaughter, but about letting his beloved granddaughter know the dangers of the world, know the scheming of others, and know how to be wary.

He's getting old; he can't protect his precious grandson for many more years to come.

He was very satisfied with his son Leng Zhi, but he was too upright. Even though he was already in his forties or fifties, he was still tricked into going to the Northwest. How could he feel at ease entrusting his beloved grandson's future safety to him?

It still depends on my grandson standing up on his own.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not going to pay any attention to them. With the YX series and wind power generation as a foundation, my wishes will be respected. As long as I ignore them, I don't think anyone will dare to use force to get to know me."

Take Ye Changshan, the unlucky guy who went to the Northwest, for example. Just because she inadvertently expressed her dislike for him standing in the toilet without doing anything, she never saw him again. It was said that he was transferred to the South.

There's a secret laboratory over there researching a virus vaccine. One of the biologists there is also a former demoted person, and Ye Changshan took the blame for him again.

She wasn't entirely without a plan, but she was still very touched by her grandfather's profound intentions towards her.

Grandpa truly loved her like his own granddaughter, not because of any value she possessed.

The old man patted her hand reassuringly, "Grandpa doesn't understand technology, but your two tricks are really impressive. They've put a lot of people in check. In the past, many people were dissatisfied with our family, especially my grandson and me. We've taken a lot of benefits from the higher-ups. They were not only envious, but also just waiting for us to suffer. After your two tricks, who would dare to say that you've wasted resources?"

The more he thought about it, the smuger he became. Even though he had bragged about it countless times, he still wanted to let out a loud "Awooo!" in front of those people.

Feel proud!
His granddaughter really makes him proud!

Let's see who dares to say he's blind.
Let's see who will still gossip behind his back about how he doesn't love his own granddaughter but favors the adopted granddaughter.
The old man's favoritism towards his adopted granddaughter, Lin Yuexi, was so excessive that some people even suspected that Lin Yuexi was his late-life daughter. He would not eat or drink anything good himself, but would find ways to feed all the good food and drink to his adopted granddaughter. Not only that, but he also "robbed" everyone around him who knew him, and he didn't even spare the elders.

This looks crazy, but if things go wrong, the family's future will be at stake. It's like they're using the entire family's future to pamper their granddaughter. How can they not be suspicious?

The rumors only gradually disappeared when Lin Yuexi's special status was spread to a certain extent by those with ulterior motives.

Then some people said that the old man was too profit-driven, that he valued Lin Yuexi's abilities as an orphan, and wanted to use kinship to bind her, trying to squeeze the last drop of blood from the martyr's orphan. Some even maliciously said that the old man would even use his comrades and superiors for the future of his own family.

These old men didn't know, but since the news hadn't reached their ears, they didn't pay attention. They thought only those who were shameful dared to chatter behind people's backs, and they looked down on such people.

Moreover, he believed that the elders and old comrades would not become estranged from him because of these unfounded rumors.

But not caring doesn't mean he's a pushover who can be maliciously slandered.

In the past, he had to take care of his beloved grandson. He was afraid that if he made a move, he would push someone to the edge and they would go to his grandson and talk nonsense, which would provoke his grandson. He was even more afraid that someone would risk everything to hurt his grandson.

My dear grandson used to be in very poor health; he could easily get angry and die from it [and he did], so he was always hesitant and timid in many things.

Things are different now. Not only has my grandson recovered, but he has also made remarkable contributions, earning the respect of all the elders and being recognized as one of the founders of China's rise.

As long as she doesn't fall into a trap herself, no one can touch her, except for external enemies, of course.

The old man was laughing when he suddenly realized the other meaning behind her words, "You just said 'series'?"

Lin Yuexi gave a meaningful smile. "Yes, a series."

The old man instantly understood, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be happy for his foolish son or to be jealous.

He muttered, "You seem to care about your dad."

Lin Yuexi chuckled and quickly grabbed the arm of the suddenly sensitive old man, gently shaking it. "Grandpa, I also prepared a gift for you. Only you have one."

The old man instinctively touched the two pens tucked in his breast pocket, grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and laughed again. Yes, only he had these electric pens.

Even though he was living in the military nursing home, which was the safest place for him, his beloved grandson still made him a voltage tester by hand so he could protect himself in a critical moment, which shows that his beloved grandson's heart was still with him.

How can that foolish son compare to him?
Satisfied.

After appeasing the old man and taking him for a stroll, the grandfather and grandson leisurely returned home.

The old man went to bed late, but he was used to going back to his room early to read books or newspapers, and occasionally watch TV. Time would pass quietly before he would go to bed.

This was the old man's routine after he retired, and Lin Yuexi didn't want to break it because of herself. So when she got back, she coaxed the old man back to his room with a combination of promises and words.

Even an old man can't resist the old man's nature. The more agreeable Lin Yuexi was, the more he took advantage of her. Only after Lin Yuexi verbally signed a bunch of unequal treaties did he happily let her leave.

After leaving the house and closing the door, Lin Yuexi finally let out a long sigh of relief. Taking care of a child is really hard work.

"Sweetie, come here."

That sound...

Lin Yuexi paused, then looked in the direction from which her mother's somewhat sly voice came.

Then, her mother's head appeared to 'grow' out from the corner of the staircase.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

What's going on here?
