"Come, come closer to Grandma and talk to me!" Grandmother Ji extended her hand to Du Jiuyuan and said amiably.
"Sigh, time flies. Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much. Do you still remember how skinny and small you were when you first came to the Ji Family? Just looking at you makes my heart ache." Grandmother Ji smiled at Du Jiuyuan as she recalled the past.
"That's right! Grandma still dotes on me. At first, you thought that I was malnourished and would get people to cook delicious food for me. Little did you know that I was just naturally skinny and small. In the end, my nose bled in less than two days. I had to go to the hospital for a full-body check-up. The doctor said that... the food was overly nutritious and caused my nose to bleed."
The two of them looked at each other tenderly for a few seconds and laughed at the same time.
Although the Du family was not very rich, they were not short of money. They did not lack any basic necessities. In addition, Old Master Du loved Du Jiuyuan very much, so it was impossible for him to let her go hungry.
"Grandmother is indebted to your grandfather for this entire lifetime. When we discovered him, he had already passed on. I only wanted to give you what I had owed him, but I never thought about whether this was what you wanted, " the old lady said earnestly.
"Grandmother, I..."
Du Jiuyuan was about to speak, but the old lady patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she should stop talking.
"I have to admit, I didn't allow you divorce Jingchen because I am really selfish. I know that with his personality, no one else would treat him as well as you do." The atmosphere between the two was very light, as if they were talking about common things.
"He will be fine. After our divorce, there will be plenty of other women who would love and treat him well."
The old lady shook her head."Yuanyuan, you should know very well that Jingchen is not easy to live with." The old lady closed her eyes to hide her guilt.
Ji Jingchen had been raised by the old lady since he was young. She was afraid that Jingchen would not be able to survive in the future, so she only taught him how to survive in such a wealthy family. She never cared about his likes and dislikes, resulting in his current arrogant personality. Because of this too, Ji Jingchen had never cared about the feelings of others.
"Yuanyuan, you don't know how happy I was when I knew that you liked Jingchen." The old lady did not believe Tang Yingxue's words at all, but she understood one thing. Du Jiuyuan did not have an easy time in the Ji family for the past few years.
When described simply, Ji Jingchen's personality was extremely arrogant, but actually, he always had mixed emotions locked up inside of him.
He had never cared about the thoughts and feelings of the people around him. He did not accept any suggestions. It was fine to be around such a person for a period of time, but after a long time, one's patience would eventually run out. f𝔯𝚎e𝘸𝘦𝚋𝗻oѵ𝐞Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
Du Jiuyuan could not understand Grandmother Ji's thoughts for a moment. Why would she suddenly tell her these things?
"Grandmother, I'm certain that I don't love him anymore. It's just that I haven't changed my habits over the years, " Du Jiuyuan sighed and said slowly.
Her mood had changed a lot. Now, when she said this, it was as if she was telling a story about someone else.
"If your grandfather was still around, he would definitely like the way you look in your wedding dress. Our dear Yuanyuan is beautiful and has fair skin, but if he knew that you had suffered so much in the Ji family, he would definitely be very angry. Yuanyuan, promise me that you will be a beautiful bride. Let me see you and Ji Jingchen walk down the red carpet with my own eyes, okay?" The old lady sounded very sad when she said this, it was as if she did not have long to live.
Du Jiuyuan's heart was deeply touched. For a moment, she wanted to make a promise straight away, but immediately recovered herself a moment later.
"Grandma, my fate with Jing Chen is over, I..."
The old lady interrupted Du Jiuyuan again, "I just want to see you walk down the red carpet, can't you do it for me?" The old lady got very excited in an abnormal manner.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Du Jiuyuan was a little worried. She could feel that there was something behind Grandmother Ji's words, but she could not tell what it was.
"I'm fine. I just thought of the past and felt a little sad. You should go back!"
"I'd better stay and accompany you!" Du Jiuyuan was very worried.
"No need. There are professional doctors and nurses here. You should go back quickly! You must become the most beautiful bride." The old lady was determined.
Du Jiuyuan got up and tucked grandma in."Grandmother, I'll come back to see you tomorrow." Grandmother Ji had the same personality as Ji Jingchen. Seeing that she was very insistent, Du Jiuyuan chose to leave.
"There's no need to come. You should rest well and wait to be the most beautiful bride, " Grandma said in a low voice.
Du Jiuyuan couldn't bear to say anything else, so she had to agree first."Okay, bye, Grandma!"
She turned around and walked to the door, but the old lady suddenly stopped her."Yuanyuan, can I ask you for a favor? If Jing Chen encounters any difficulties in the future, will you help him?"
"He's the only son of the Ji family and the CEO of the Ji corporation.. I can't possibly help him with his problems, " Grandmother Ji's words confused Du Jiuyuan, so she answered honestly.
