Back For My Daughter

Chapter 1290: Who Are Qiqi's Grandparents?

While Ye Qian was thinking whether the person who had attacked Wu Ping was a martial cultivator, the three children ran around, playing with the elderly.

Right now they were playing seeking, with one having his eyes shut with a hankie while he had to touch someone and so the said person would have to take the place of the blinded fellow.

At that moment, it was Zhimen who was waving around his hands mindlessly in the hope of touching any grandpa, grandma, Xiao Ya or Little Qiqi.

Although it was impossible for him to get hold of the two little girls due to their nimbleness and better stamina, he could only hope of catching hold of any grandpa or grandma.

However, the elderlies, despite being old, were still witty and knew the place very well to give the little fellow a chance.

They would simply move around slowly, making little to no sound, while the laughter was enough to confuse the little fellow even more.

"Zhimen, look to your right!"

Mrs Ji called out, only to see her son wave his hand at thin air before he complained.

"Ahh, mommy, there's no one."

"Hehe, my bad."

This time she was also playing and wanted to fool her son, but after running around for a while, she had gotten tired and could only take a break.

But while she sipped on a glass of water, she couldn't help but wonder while looking around at the people in the room.

'Everyone is so nimble and fast for their age, they also don't seem to be getting tired!'

Little did she know that every time Ye Qian came along with the little girls he could bring some or other snack along.

And in those snacks, there would be a small Qi pellet, akin to the ones he had given to Wang Jin's father and Guo Yulao.

However, since Grandma Xue and the others were much older and didn't have any serious diseases or conditions, Ye Qian knew that he couldn't simply give them a pellet each even if he wanted to.

This was because the sheer amount of Spiritual Qi from one Qi pellet would give them too much of a change and they would feel that something wasn't right with them.

One had to know that Ye Qian would also use one Qi pellet each day for his family when he prepared food for them.

But, the spiritual energy in one Qi pellet would be divided into more than 50 people in the old age home, while it would be divided into seven people at the home.

He was grateful to them and didn't have the heart to make them suffer through the issues of old age and this was also the least he could do for the time being.

In fact, Ye Qian even planned to help them reach a few lower levels of cultivation once he had completely healed his dantian, allowing them to live for at least another 50 years or so without any bodily ailments.

"Aunty can I have some water?"

While she was wondering about how all the elderlies present were so fast and energetic, Mrs Ji heard a sweet voice enter her ear, asking something.

"Huh?"

She glanced at the source, which was a little figure, it was little Qiqi.

"Ahh, I am sorry."

Only then did Mrs Ji realize that she had been holding the glass in her hand and hence the girl had to ask her.

"Hehe, no problem Aunty, Qiqi knows that you were thinking about something."

The little girl grinned as she sipped on the glass of water she was handed.

While the little girl sipped as she looked at Xiao Ya, who now had the blindfold on her eyes, Mrs Ji's eyes flashed and she recalled something.

'How could I forget this, I have to talk with his parents.'

Thinking of this, looked at Ye Qian who was standing at the corner, talking with a few elderly men as they laughed aloud as if sharing some of their sold stash of jokes.

"Qiqi..."

"Humm"

The little girl turned around, tilting her head in confusion.

"Which one here are your grandparents?"

She asked cautiously, not wanting to stir anyone around.

"Huh, everyone here is Qiqi's grandpa and grandma."

The little girl answered with a wide smile, causing Mrs. Ji to sigh and shake her head.

"Qiqi, I mean, the mother and father of your Papa?"

"Huh, no one?"

"Grandma and grandpa are at home."

"Huh?"

This time it was Mrs Ji's time to get confused.

'Maybe it's Qiqi's mother's parents who are living here, I can understand that it's awkward to live in the house of their daughter.'

She thought before asking the little girl one final question, which she thought would help the family.

"Then are your grandpa and grandma from your mother's side here?"

Hearing the question, the little girl's face turned sad.

"Qiqi has never seen mumma's parents, she said that they died when mumma was in Qiqi's class."

Seeing the saddened look on the little girl's face and hearing her words Mrs Ji couldn't help but blame herself for asking such a bad question to such a little girl.

Just when she was thinking what she should do to bring the girl back to her previous liveliness, she heard a voice coming from behind, catching the attention of both, Mrs Ji and Little Qiqi.

"Butterfly, your grandma is always with you, so don't be sad that you could never see her."

"Hmm."

The little girl nodded while Ye Qian continued.

"See its your Grandma Xue who is catching others now, play with her."

"Okay, papa."

With that, a smile appeared on the little girl's face as she imagined that her grandma from her mother's side would be like her Grandma Xue and Gramma and immediately rushed to her.

"Hehe, Grandma look, Qiqi is here!"

"Ahh, come here your little cat, let me catch you."

Grandma Xue laughed as she turned to Little Qiqi's direction with ease.

"Hehe, Qiqi is not a cat."

Seeing that the little girl was back to her usual self, Mrs Ji let out a sigh of relief.
