nOld Lady Fang was already a bit confused, except for listening to old man Fang occasionally.

nHer whole body was glued to Qin Yiyi.

nPreviously, she didn’t see Qin Yiyi standing there motionlessly. Now, she was holding her hand and not letting go.

n“Yiyi, Grandma will bring you home. Grandma will steam flower cakes for you to eat…”

nThe old lady’s mouth kept muttering as she was about to leave.

nHowever, Fang Yingxue’s expression was very unsightly. “Mom, What’s wrong with you? Why do you have to go to this girl’s place instead of staying in a nice hotel? Her shabby place is so small that you can even touch her bed while sitting in the living room. Where will you stay? Will you sleep on the floor?” In the end, she babbled on. The old lady did not even look at her, infuriating Fang Yingxue even more. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she turned her head. “Dad, you don’t care about mom either?!”

nSeriously, the older you get, the more troublesome it gets!

nOld Master Fang looked at his daughter in front of him and felt a chill in his heart.

n“Xiaoxue, let’s not talk about where your mom and I will live first. What’s going on with Yiyi? Didn’t you tell us that she’s fine and that she has a good relationship with you guys?”

n

n

n“She’s fine. Look, she’s not missing anything, and I even sent her to the best school. If this is not considered fine, how can she be fine?”

nFang Yingxue looked at her father righteously. “Dad, do you care about my mother or not? Look at what’s going on here. I took the time to come pick you guys up, and now you’re treating me like this? I’m your daughter! If people find out that you’re here but don’t come stay with me, how am I going to face people if word gets out?”

n“Alright, you can go.”

nOld Master Fang had originally wanted to properly communicate with his daughter and ask what was going on.

nIn the end..

nHe shook his head and waved his hand at Fang Yingxue, “Your mother doesn’t have many years left to live. Moreover, she was the one who wanted to meet Yiyi this time. Since Yiyi isn’t staying with you and your mother isn’t willing to go to your place, then we’ll go to Yiyi’s place.”

n“But her place is so small. How are you and my mother going to stay there?”

nShe knew that her parents would cause a ruckus when they came.

nLook, she had obviously booked a good hotel, but they had to go and squeeze in with this wretched girl.

nThey were deliberately not giving her face, right?

nShe glared at Qin Yiyi. “Tell your grandmother that you have no place for her to stay…”

nQin Yiyi couldn’t be bothered to look at her. She helped Grandma Fang and walked over.

nThe old lady and the young lady leaned their heads against each other. It was unknown what they were talking about, but it made the old lady giggle.

nAmidst the laughter was Qin Yiyi’s crisp and gentle voice.

n“Grandma, tell me what you want to eat. When we get home, I’ll cook with you. We can eat whatever we want, Okay?”

n“Okay… eat the candy one by one…”

nThe old lady fished for a long time in her pocket and then took out a piece of chocolate that was slightly deformed.

nIt was probably because she kept it in her pocket.

nIt melted because of the heat.

nThe chocolate and the wrapping paper were stuck together.

nThe old lady’s hands trembled as she peeled it off bit by bit. Qin Yiyi wanted to help but was rejected by the old lady.

nIn the end, she stuffed some of the melted chocolate into Qin Yiyi’s mouth while muttering, “This is sweet. We all like it the most. Yiyi, be good. It won’t hurt after you eat it…”

nQin Yiyi’s mouth was instantly filled with a bitter taste.

nLooking down, she gently bit her lower lip.

nWhen she was young, she was very sick. She would take medicine and injections from time to time. As a child, she would cry her heart out every time she had an injection.

nThe old lady would always use sugar to coax her.

nHer favorite saying was, “Be good, sugar is sweet. It won’t hurt after you eat it…”

nShe didn’t expect that the old lady would forget most of the things around her, but still remember her candy and the words she used to coax her when she was young!

nIn the taxi, Qin Yiyi accompanied the nagging old lady as they talked.

nShe was very patient.

nSitting in the front seat, Old Master Fang turned his head to look at them from time to time, his heart filled with relief.

nYiyi… she had grown up.

nShe knew how to love and take care of others!

nThe car stopped. Qin Yiyi paid for the car through Wechat and helped the two old people back home.

nThe residential area was very good. The environment was excellent.

nOld Master Fang didn’t think much of it. After all, the Qin family really didn’t lack money.

nEven if they wanted to buy a small apartment, they had to find a good place!

nHowever, when he entered the house and saw that there were several hundred square meters of apartments upstairs and downstairs, his eyes flashed.

n“Yiyi, didn’t your mother say that the place you live in doesn’t have any empty rooms?”

nHow could he not see this? Even if there were ten more people, they could all live in it!

nQin Yiyi helped Grandma Fang, who was playing with a Rubik’s Cube on the sofa, pour a cup of flower tea.

n“Grandma, drink some tea first. I’ll play with you later.”

n“Okay, Yiyi, play with Grandma…”

nOld Lady Fang really listened to Qin Yiyi’s words. She followed her almost word by word.

nShe did what she told her to do!

nQin Yiyi knew that the two elders would come here in advance, although she wasn’t sure if they would stay at her place.

nHowever, Qin Yiyi still prepared the room in advance.

nThe bedsheets and blankets were all new.

nShe also bought some vegetables beforehand, all of which were the favorite dishes of the old couple in her memory.

nShe turned on the TV and let the old lady watch the animation. Qin Yiyi glanced at old man Fang, who was drinking tea at the side.

n“Grandpa, I’ll cook a bowl of noodles for you. Let’s eat something delicious tonight, shall we?”

n“Do you know how to cook? Alright, you talk to your grandmother. I’ll go cook.”

nOld Master Fang was somewhat disgusted with Qin Yiyi’s cooking. In his memories, this granddaughter of his was good at everything except cooking!

nThe kind that he couldn’t teach no matter how hard he tried.

nAfter burning N number of pots in the house, he directly gave up on the idea of letting Qin Yiyi into the kitchen!

nOld Master Fang was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but he was pushed back by Qin Yiyi.

n“Grandpa, don’t look at me like I’m useless, okay? I don’t know if we should look at each other differently after not seeing each other for such a long time.”

n“Look after Grandma. I’ll be done in a moment.”

nOld Master Fang chuckled. “Okay, then Grandpa will wait for you.”

nLooking at Qin Yiyi’s back as she walked into the kitchen, Old Master Fang’s eyes darkened.

nEverything looked fine.

nBut the relationship between the mother and daughter was really..

nSomething wasn’t right.

nHe sighed inwardly. This child, why didn’t she have any parental affinity since she was young?!

nJust as he was thinking, Old Lady Fang raised her head,

nEh, Why is my granddaughter gone?!

nHer face was filled with panic. “Yiyi, Yiyi is gone. Yiyi is gone again. Yiyi is gone, Yiyi…”

n“Old lady, stop shouting. Yiyi is here. She is cooking for us right now.”

nHow could Old Lady Fang listen to them? Her whole body was anxious.

nIn this moment of anxiety, she loved to spin in circles.

nShe rubbed her hands together and spun faster and faster. Her mouth was still muttering, and she was about to cry.

n“Yiyi… grandma can’t find Yiyi, Yiyi…”

nQin Yiyi was putting noodles into the pot when she heard the commotion outside. Her hand slipped.

nShe threw the noodles a little too quickly and a few drops of boiling water splashed onto the back of her hand.

nInstantly, a patch of red appeared.

nHowever, she couldn’t be bothered to look and ran out.

n“Grandma, Grandma, I’m here. Yiyi is here…”

n“Yiyi! Yiyi, Grandma couldn’t find you just now. Were you taken away by the bad guys again?”

n“Yiyi, I’m not afraid. Grandma will beat the bad guys. They don’t want Yiyi, Grandma wants you.”

nThe old lady directly hugged Qin Yiyi.

nShe probably wanted to hug her like when she was young, but she couldn’t move her arms.

nShe tilted her head and looked up and down. Suddenly, she pushed Qin Yiyi away.

n“Who are you? Where is Yiyi? Where did you take Yiyi? Give me back Yiyi…”

n“Old Granny, this is Yiyi. Yiyi has grown up. Don’t hurt Yiyi!”

nOld Master Fang quickly walked over, wanting to help old Granny Fang to the side. Unfortunately, Old Granny held onto Qin Yiyi’s arm with both hands.

n“Where did you take my Yiyi? Give her back to me!”

n“Old Granny, you’ll hurt Yiyi!”

nQin Yiyi shook her head at her grandfather, her voice becoming softer and softer.

n“Grandma, Grandma, wake up. Look at me. I’m Yiyi. I’m Grandma’s Yiyi.”

nThere was a gentle hypnotic tone in her voice.

nAfter a while, the old woman slowly calmed down. She looked at Qin Yiyi with a pair of old eyes that were a little chaotic and smiled happily at her.

n“Yiyi has come to pick up Grandma. You child, I already said that you don’t need to pick her up. Your grandfather and I can find the way.”

nQin Yiyi smiled and nodded.

n“That’s right. My grandma is the most capable. Nothing can be difficult for my grandma.”

n“That’s right. Grandma is amazing. Grandma’s Yiyi is also amazing.”

nThe old lady held Qin Yiyi’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.

nIn the kitchen, Old Master Fang put the cooked noodles into a bowl. The sounds from the living room outside drifted into his ears from time to time.

nGradually, Old Master Fang’s eyes turned red!

nAfter the meal, the old lady watched television for a while after Qin Yiyi comforted her. In the end, Qin Yiyi helped her back to her bedroom to sleep.

nShe returned to the living room and looked at Old Master Fang, who was sitting there with an indifferent expression. She pursed her lower lips.

n“Grandpa.”

nIn her previous life, she had also thought that her grandfather was just an ordinary little old man.

nHowever, it was because Fang Yingxue had married Mr. Qin, who was in dire straits at that time, that she had the wealth and honor of the Fang family.

nOf course, it was not right to say that the Fang family was rich and honorable.

nWhen Fang Yingxue had married into the Qin family, she was actually the only one who had riches and honor.

nEven her unreliable uncle had been working alone outside for many years before he somehow managed to get together with Fang Yingxue!

nBut later, she didn’t know until her grandfather passed away that this grandfather of hers wasn’t just an ordinary citizen.

nHe was actually…

nHowever, Qin Yiyi didn’t intend to ask the old master anything,

nif the old master wanted to talk about the past, he would naturally choose to talk to her.

nIf he wanted to forget, wouldn’t her asking this make things difficult for the old master?

n“Come and sit.”

nOld Master Fang glanced at Qin Yiyi and reached out to pour her a cup of tea. However, he looked at her for a long time and didn’t say anything.

nIn the end, Qin Yiyi smiled and opened her mouth.

n“Grandpa, are you trying to ask what’s going on between me and my mother?”

n“You and your parents…”

nOld Man Fang was halfway through his sentence when he shook his head and looked at her suddenly, “Forget it, Grandpa won’t ask. You’ve grown up. You’re not like the little girl who used to only cry and shout after me. As long as you think things through, it’s fine.” Even though he said this, old Master Fang still felt sorry for the little girl he had brought up. He gently advised, “Don’t think too much. People in this world aren’t so perfect.”

n“Some people lack money, and some people spend their whole lives being bedridden. As for you…”

n“Aren’t there still me and your grandmother?”

n“But what Grandpa wants to tell you is that no matter what decision you make, you just have to think it through and don’t regret it in the future.”

nThe old man’s eyes, which had been through a lot, were full of wisdom.

n“Your grandmother and I will support you no matter what you do.”

n“Thank you, grandpa.”

nQin Yi had never intended to tell the old man about her relationship with the Qin family in case the old man got angry.

nMoreover, she had to say that Old Master Fang’s words made her heart rise and fall.

nTouched!

nOnly a true family member would think for her like this, right?

nNo matter what you do, no matter what you think, once you have thought it through, you will do it!

nWhat’s there to be afraid of? I’ll be there with you!

nHer nose turned sour and she almost cried. “Thank you, grandpa.”

nIn her previous life, she had been taken over by the Qin family. Due to her physical condition and personality, as well as the mother Fang Yingxue who had been a thorn in her side, she had actually only met the old man a moment before the old man passed away.

nIt was also at that moment that she knew that her grandmother had passed away long ago, and her grandfather was actually not an ordinary old man…

nBut what was the use of knowing all this?

nIn the end, she did not protect what her grandfather told her to protect, and she did not live up to her grandfather’s wish to live a peaceful life until old age!

nIt was her own stupidity…

nQin Yiyi quickly turned her head away, afraid that old master Fang would see her cry!

nOld Master Fang did not feel good either. How could a perfectly fine mother and daughter have fallen to such a state?

n“This time, it was your grandmother who kept talking about you. Then, the doctor suggested that we come to the big city for a comprehensive check-up…”

nOld Master Fang changed the topic. “You’ve seen your grandmother like this. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you…”

nAfter a pause, he added, “If you think it’s inconvenient for your grandmother to stay here, I’ll find a hotel near the hospital later.”

nWhen Old Master Fang said this, his tone was calm.

nHe really thought so, and he was prepared to do the same if Qin Yiyi showed even the slightest bit of unwillingness.

nThere was nothing to complain about.

nEven his own daughter had a look of disdain on her face. She would rather let them stay in a hotel than bring them back to the Qin family.

nLet alone his granddaughter, who was living alone away from her family?

nQin Yiyi’s eyes widened. “Why do you want to stay in a hotel? Is there something wrong with the room that I arranged? Grandpa, you tell me, and I’ll go and change it right now. Is it because Grandma isn’t familiar with the situation at home? If you don’t like staying on the first floor, we can change it right now. If you don’t like staying on the first floor, there are rooms on the second floor. However, the room on the first floor has big windows and good lighting. You can even see the lawn outside through the window…”

nFollowing Qin Yiyi’s narration, although Old Master Fang said that he didn’t care about these things, he still felt gratified.

n“Your grandmother and I don’t dislike anything. It’s just that grandfather is afraid of disturbing you and causing trouble for you.”

n“When I was young, I also caused trouble all day long. Grandfather and grandmother didn’t dislike it either.”

nQin Yiyi interrupted Old Master Fang’s words with a grin.

n“I’m living here alone and there’s no one around. Grandpa and Grandma are here and it’s very lively.”

nAfter a pause, she suddenly looked at Grandfather Fang with a serious expression.

n“Oh right, Grandpa, you and Grandma can stay here from now on. Can you stay with me?”

nThe loneliness in the little girl’s eyes and the desire to be careful made Grandfather Fang’s rejection, which had rolled to the edge of his mouth, automatically turn into a single word.

n“Okay.”

n“I knew Grandpa was the best.”

nQin Yiyi’s face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling. There was no trace of loneliness or sadness from before.

nHow could Old Master Fang not know that he had been coaxed by this girl?

nHe glared at her in anger and amusement.

n“You even dared to lie to your grandpa, right?” However, he knew in his heart that this girl still wanted someone by her side, right?

nThe two of them chatted for a while longer, and Qin Yiyi urged Old Master Fang, “Grandfather, you must be tired from the journey. Hurry up and rest. I’ll call to make an appointment later. We’ll find the best specialists and hospitals to treat Grandma.”

nActually, Qin Yiyi felt that she could cure Old Lady Fang with a few doses of medicine and acupuncture.

nHowever, she didn’t have the title of a ‘doctor’.

nTherefore, after thinking about it in her heart, she decided to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up first.

n“Okay, then I’ll go and rest for a while.”

nAlong the way, she had to keep an eye on Old Lady Fang. She really didn’t dare to make a mistake with her eyes.

nShe was afraid that she would lose her if she made a mistake.

nWith Alzheimer’s disease, how many people would be lost and forget their family members?

nThey couldn’t find them even if they wanted to.

nNow that they were at his granddaughter’s house, although they felt that Qin Yiyi’s relationship with her parents was extremely bad, they also felt sorry for her.

nBut at least they saw that their granddaughter was doing well and was healthy.

nHer complexion looked fine too.

nWhen the old man let out a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but reveal some tiredness.

n“Your grandmother’s illness isn’t something that can be cured in a day or two. If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. There’s no need to rush.”

nQin Yiyi sent the old man back to his room while she ran back to the living room to play Landlords.

nHowever, she lost one game after another.

nIn the end, she simply quit and pulled out her Wechat to send a message to Lu Jinwan.

n“Wan Wan, my grandparents are here. They’re staying at my house.”

nThen, she attached a picture of a happy little person.

nThen, regardless of whether Lu Jinwan replied or not, she slid down to Shang Jingheng’s portrait.

n“Brother Shang, my grandparents are here. Haha, they are staying with me. They said they will stay with me in the future.”

n“Brother Shang, are you here? I’m so happy.”

nOn the other side, Shang Jingheng was in a meeting. A beep sounded from his Wechat message.

nHe calmly lowered his head and looked at the little figure that was still spinning in circles on Wechat with her hands on her waist and laughing loudly. Qin Yiyi’s eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and her face was filled with joy as she chirped happily. He could not help but feel a little regretful. Unfortunately, he could not see the little girl’s happy face at this moment!

nIn the next moment, he felt a little jealous.

n

n

nHe was actually not the one who made the little girl so happy.

nBut, forget it, it was fine as long as the little girl was happy!

nHe gently typed with his fingers and clicked send.

n“Tomorrow, I will finish my business here. When I go back, I will treat Grandpa and Grandma to a meal.”

nQin Yiyi replied with an affirmation without thinking. Then, she sat on the sofa and giggled for a while before she finally realized and sighed.

nShe raised her hand and patted her forehead.

nit was her grandparents. Why did she let Shang Jingheng treat them to a meal?

nAlso, why did Brother Shang also call them ‘grandparents’?

nThis person must have been too busy!

nShe grinned and sat on the sofa giggling.. In the end, she buried her face in the sofa and cried with a face full of tears!

n
