At this point in time, n.o.body would object to Elder Lin’s words. Old Master Zhai sat quietly on the sofa. His lips curved slightly and he looked as kind as a Buddha. The ferociousness he had when he was young was gone, and he looked at this scene as if it were the evening sun.

Lin Yuankang was slightly stunned and he made eye contact with Old Master Zhai. Old Master Zhai remained motionless while sitting but nodded to Lin Yuankang. It seemed like a greeting and also seemed to be acknowledging something.

They had known each other for so many years. They knew it clearly how their tempers were like. Lin Yuankang wasn’t suited for arousing enthusiasm while Old Master Zhai wasn’t suited for remaining quiet. At this age, both of them had done things that didn’t suit their tempers. The answer was self-evident and so full of helplessness.

Lin Yuankang smiled bitterly. He looked at the few children before him with heartache and couldn’t say anything.

The auntie still wasn’t clear about the situation. After hearing Miao Jing’s orders, she brought out the big cake Zhai Sheng had ordered and placed it on the table. There were seven candles on the cake, which meant that the children were now seven years old. “We can make a wish and blow out the candles.”

The three children didn’t feel as happy as half an hour ago about the birthday celebration. Da Bao led Er Bao and San Bao to stand in front of the big cake. They closed their eyes and made a wish. Xiao Bao, who was young and ignorant, joined in the excitement and followed what they did.

After the three children made their wishes and blew out the candles, Da Bao, who had always been quiet, suddenly said, “I made a wish just now, wis.h.i.+ng for those who celebrated my birthday with me this year would also celebrate with me next year.” If this could come true, he would only make this birthday wish every year from now on.

Da Bao’s words shocked all the adults present. When Da Bao spoke, he stared fixedly at Lin Yuankang. Obviously, his wish was directed mainly at Lin Yuankang. Lin Yuankang, moved and lost, glanced at Old Master Zhai. He didn’t know if those surnamed Zhai would be angry upon hearing Da Bao’s wish.

Old Master Zhai smiled. Indeed, he was the eldest great-grandson he had brought up. He had said these words so beautifully. Even if Da Bao’s words were directed mainly at Elder Lin, he had incorporated everyone’s thoughts, including his. He was such a clever and thoughtful great-grandson. How would he be angry? He was only happy.

He had at least one-third of the credit for teaching such a great child.

Old Master Zhai wouldn’t be so foolish to fight with Elder Lin over this. Furthermore, both of them already had one foot in the grave. What meaning was there to fight over this? He even found the man surnamed Lin to be childish.

“Since we have blown out the candles, let’s cut the cake.” Seeing that the usually cold Old Master Zhai was unusually gentle today and was the complete opposite of how he usually looked, Elder Lin thought that there was no meaning to this. “I’ll eat a little.”

“Here, let’s eat the cake, everyone.” At this moment, Zhai Sheng had already cut the cake. The auntie distributed the cut cake to everyone.

The Tian couple took a few bites after receiving it. Father Tian got Mother Tian to sit beside him. At this moment, he became more determined to bring Mother Tian out for a walk. Having lived to this age, he didn’t know when he and his wife would be the same as Elder Lin. By then, everything would be too late.

Mother Tian seemed to have been affected quite a bit as well. She became quiet. Even when she saw how Xiao Bao was sticking closely to the triplets and looking at Qiao Nan with full admiration, she couldn’t get jealous.

The people from the Zhai family sincerely treated Xiao Bao well. Even if Xiao Bao became closer to them, not only would he not learn the bad things, but he would even become better and better under their influence. Since it was good for Xiao Bao, why should she mind? Furthermore, Xiao Bao and the Zhai family were close. Was Xiao Bao not close to her, his grandma?

No, they were close. Xiao Bao still shared a good relations.h.i.+p with her.

Xiao Bao didn’t distance himself from her or dislike her because of the Zhai family. The Zhai family had such a good influence on Xiao Bao. Comparing with her husband and son, Xiao Bao would definitely benefit more in the future with the Zhai family. As long as everything was good for Xiao Bao, she was willing to open her mind. After all, he was her biological grandson.

Mother Tian held Father Tian’s hand. “Shall we postpone the trip?” Elder Lin was left with only these couple of days. If they wanted to attend his funeral, their trip had to be put back.

Father Tian wasn’t in a hurry to travel. However, he shook his head at Mother Tian. “No, I think that with Elder Lin’s temper, he wouldn’t want too many people to send him off the day he pa.s.sed away. As long as the people most important to him are by his side to send him off, he should be satisfied.” It was best for them, the outsiders, not to interfere especially at moments like these.

“I’ll listen to you.” Mother Tian’s temper was exceptionally good today. Of course, she became easy to talk to as well. Whatever Father Tian said, she agreed.

It was just that plans could never catch up with changes. The Tian couple could choose not to appear if Elder Lin pa.s.sed away. However, with Old Master Zhai following suit after him, as the in-laws and Old Master Zhai’s juniors, they couldn’t not show up.

After the triplets celebrated their birthday, that night, or precisely, at two in the morning of the next day, Elder Lin smiled and pa.s.sed away.

The auntie who was taking care of Elder Lin was very upset. However, she remembered what Elder Lin had told her and didn’t dare to tell this news to Qiao Nan and the three children. She only told Zhai Sheng secretly.

At that time, Zhai Sheng was keeping guard of Old Master Zhai, which was what he had been doing for the past two days. After finis.h.i.+ng the call he had with the auntie hired by the Lin family, he returned to Old Master Zhai’s room. The moment he saw him, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Old Master Zhai.

Zhai Sheng frowned and walked to Old Master Zhai’s side. He touched his hand. Although there was still a bit of temperature in his hand, it was lower than the normal temperature of an average person’s. Zhai Sheng held his breath and placed two fingers on Old Master Zhai’s neck artery. There was no pulse!

“Old master? Old master. Grandpa? Grandpa!” Zhai Sheng couldn’t help but push Old Master Zhai. However, regardless of how he pushed him, Old Master Zhai didn’t have any reaction. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and couldn’t wake up. “Grandpa, grandpa, wake up. Don’t crack such jokes. Grandpa?”

Old Master Zhai stopped breathing. His body became stiff and he couldn’t be awakened. All of these indicated to Zhai Sheng that Old Master Zhai was the same as Elder Lin. After the triplets’ birthday, he pa.s.sed away.
