Nie Chengyuan had no choice. The main problem was that his son was seriously ill. Although he was in Zhenjiang, not far from Wuxi, he simply couldn't leave.
As for Ma Nianyuan, she was in Nanjing and couldn't get back at all!
And Qian Fangping was in Wuxi. Nie Chengyuan still thought she didn't know her daughter had already given birth.
Ma Nianyuan was also rather careless, leaving her child in the care of her grandfather.
But Old Qian was a gambling addict. Whenever he had money, he went gambling. How could he be trusted to look after a child properly?
That was one of the reasons Nie Chengyuan was so devoted to Qian Fangping.
Qian Fangping really was like one of those novel heroines: a father with a gambling problem, a widowed family, a helpless little daughter, and a life in ruins!
But Ma Nianyuan didn't know her grandfather very well. When the nanny took leave to go home, Ma Nianyuan had been easily persuaded to leave her child with Old Qian.
So when the nanny hurried back, she found the child crying until her voice was hoarse.
Nie Chengyuan had hired the nanny himself, so she quickly called him, then rushed the child to the hospital.
When Nie Chengyuan arrived at the hospital in a panic, the child was still under observation in the ICU. While he waited outside, he got a message from Grandmother Nie, and that was when he hurriedly called Nie Xiguang.
After Wang Yue had given him an earful, Nie Chengyuan truly didn't know what to say!
He couldn't exactly tell Wang Yue that his mistress's daughter had given birth to a son, could he?
That would be a tangled mess of a story, and he was afraid it would set a bad example
