Chapter 156 Wang Qi, Why Are You So Old?
Nan Qiao and Zhao had just taken two steps forward when the magnificent door of the banquet hall was impatiently pushed open from the outside.
Accompanied by a slight creaking sound, a dazzling light shot in, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Then, Wang Qingyu pushed the wheelchair in slowly with a respectful look. Wang Qi in the wheelchair was wearing a neat military uniform, and the row of medals on his chest shone brightly under the light.
Although he is over a hundred years old, his eyes are still sharp and bright, and he has a majestic aura that instantly makes the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall solemn.
Nan Qiao already had a guess in her mind. When the door of the banquet hall opened and Wang Qingyu pushed Wang Qi in, she was stunned at first, a layer of mist instantly emerged in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.
It was an uncontrollable feeling of surprise and touching.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a brilliant smile. That smile was like the sunshine at dawn, dispelling all the haze.
Nan Qiao felt as if her feet were out of her control, and she involuntarily moved towards Wang Qi, with each step filled with irrepressible emotion.
As for Wang Qi, from the first moment he stepped into the banquet hall, his eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao. The originally majestic look in his eyes was instantly replaced by endless tenderness and excitement. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision.
Nan Qiao quickly walked up to him, her lips trembling, her heart churning with words. But at this moment, all the words were stuck in her throat. After a long while, she softly uttered, "Wang Qi, long time no see."
The voice was choked with sobs and had a dreamy trance quality.
When Wang Qi heard this, he nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his cheeks. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
It's been such a long time since we last met. It's been 82 years...
When Wang Qingyu heard Nan Qiao calling him "Wang Qi", his eyes widened and his face was full of surprise.
He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Who is this little girl? How can she be so rude as to call the ancestor by his name?"
His eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao, as if he wanted to see through her.
But the next scene made him drop his jaw even more.
Not only was his ancestor not angry, he nodded in response, and the tears in his eyes were like beads with broken strings, rolling down continuously, and he cried so sadly.
Wang Qingyu scratched his head, his face full of confusion. He couldn't understand why his ancestor had always been serious. What happened today?
Even if Nan Qiao is the descendant of Bai Yueguang, whom the ancestors have missed for decades, he shouldn’t be so excited!
He stood aside, staring blankly at everything in front of him, his face blank.
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, standing by, were so surprised that they blurted out in unison, "Could this be General Wang, the founding father of the country?"
Grandpa Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief. "He retired several years ago, taking a break from worldly affairs. I never thought he'd come all the way here for Xiao Qiao's birthday party!"
Jiang Linkai also looked at Wang Qi and Nan Qiao with a puzzled look on his face, thinking to himself, "How could Nan Qiao know someone like General Wang? They're clearly not from the same generation."
Fang Xuyao looked at the scene before him and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Why did he feel like he was meeting a love rival? What was going on?
Professor Gu and Gu Yi on the side were also surprised. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Dr. Jiang couldn't contain his curiosity and excitement, and strode towards Wang Qi, wanting to get close to this founding father and take a good look at him.
Wang Xiaoxuan didn't understand what was going on at first, but after hearing their discussion, she realized that the old man in military uniform with shining medals on his chest was actually such a great figure!
She was filled with fear and curiosity, and could not help stretching her neck and looking over there.
Zhao Gang smiled at Wang Qi and Nan Qiao and said softly, "You should have a lot to talk about. Let's go to the lounge upstairs."
As he spoke, he winked at Lin Yue who was standing beside him. Lin Yue understood and hurried forward to push Wang Qi's wheelchair.
She walked up to Wang Qingyu and reached out to take the wheelchair handle.
Wang Qingyu frowned upon seeing this and said hurriedly, "No, why don't you ask me if I agree?"
"This is my ancestor. How can we let him go to the lounge alone?"
His face was serious, his eyes full of worry. "His ancestor is our family's treasure. We can't afford to make any mistakes. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to the country, and my mother will skin me alive when I get home."
Zhao Gang smiled and stepped forward to comfort him, "Chief Wang, just put your mind at ease."
"We dare not do anything excessive in front of General Wang. This is actually General Wang's own opinion."
Wang Qingyu looked at Wang Qi doubtfully, only to see his ancestor with tears streaming down his face, his eyes fixed on Nan Qiao. He seemed to be wandering in another world, completely unaware of the situation around him.
Wang Qingyu sighed helplessly, and finally nodded in agreement.
Lin Yue carefully pushed Wang Qi's wheelchair and slowly walked towards the lounge upstairs, with Nan Qiao following beside him.
Wang Qi sat in a wheelchair, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the front, full of anxiety.
His hands were tightly gripping the armrests of the wheelchair, his knuckles turning white from the force, the veins on his hands bulging slightly, and the row of shining medals swayed slightly as the wheelchair moved, reflecting bits of light.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the slight sound of the wheelchair rolling on the carpet could be heard, as if the whole world was making way for the conversation they were about to begin.
Lin Yue steadily pushed Wang Qi up to the second floor. After entering the lounge, he saw Nan Qiao coming in afterwards, so he understood what he meant and quietly left. He did not forget to close the door and leave this space for the two of them.
In the lounge, it was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. For a while, neither of them spoke.
Nan Qiao moved lightly and slowly walked in front of Wang Qi, then slowly squatted down and looked up at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi's eyes were already red. He raised his trembling hand and gently stroked Nan Qiao's face. His fingertips trembled slightly. His voice was hoarse, as if he had exhausted all his strength to squeeze out a word: "You haven't changed at all, you are still as beautiful as before."
Nan Qiao nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes, "It's only been a few days since I last saw you. How could I have changed so much?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gently touched Wang Qi's white hair. The white hair was like frost, stinging her eyes. Tears could not help but burst out. She said in a sobbing voice: "Wang Qi, why are you so old?"
When Wang Qi heard this, he burst into tears. "Eighty-two years! I've waited for you for eighty-two years. I thought I'd never see you again!"
