Ji Jingchen stood up and left the ancestral hall. Not long after, the old lady did the same, using her walking stick as support. Tears had welled up in her eyes.

As soon as Du Jiuyuan entered the apartment, Du Ling came up to her and asked, “What does the old lady think?”

Du Jiuyuan did not say anything. She just shook her head. Looking at Grandmother Ji’s reaction today, it was clear that she would not agree to the divorce with Ji Jingchen.

“Let me tell you, the Ji family doesn’t have anyone nice in the entire family. How could the old lady not favor her own grandson?” Du Ling was a little disappointed.

“Grandmother just has her own ideas.” Du Jiuyuan held her arm.

Du Ling could tell that Du Jiuyuan was trying to protect the old lady from the inside. She did not say anything more, but when she thought of the ferocious beasts of the Ji family, she could not help but sigh.

“Sigh, let’s eat first! I made your favorite sweet and sour ribs.”

...

Grandmother Ji was back, which meant that Ji Jingchen and Du Jiuyuan’s wedding date was getting closer and closer. He Lili could only send a WeChat message to comfort Du Jiuyuan. Although Ji Jingchen didn’t make things difficult for her because she helped Du Jiuyuan with the fake identity, he was still worried and wary of her.

Ji Jingchen had also arranged for a lot of people to watch over Du Jiuyuan near the apartment. Even if she decided to escape once again, Ji Jingchen would not need to spend so much time searching for her anymore.

The possibility of Du Jiuyuan to separate herself from Ji Jingchen for two years would be close to zero. After the incident last time, Old Madam Ji really could not stop Ji Jingchen’s determination to hold a wedding. Tang Yingxue, on the other hand, was angry and caused a ruckus for several days. She was thinking about Li Ruyan’s words in her heart, but she could not find an opportunity to carry them out.

On this day, Grandmother Ji was basking in the sun outside. These days, the Ji family had many visitors, but they were all stopped by her.

“Grandmother, would you like some fruit?” Tang Yingxue tried her best to please the old lady, but the old lady simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

“Grandma, you’re being too biased. I’m your granddaughter too after all!” Tang Yingxue’s voice suddenly got very loud, making it difficult to ignore.

Old Lady Ji was unperturbed. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at Tang Yingxue. Tang Yingxue suddenly shut her mouth. Grandmother Ji’s gaze was exactly the same as Ji Jingchen’s.

Grandmother Ji hadn’t raised Ji Jingchen single-handedly, there was once a saying that the student will always outshine the master at the end of the journey.

“I’ve never acknowledged you. After the two of them complete their wedding, you can leave the Ji family with your mother and live elsewhere!” Grandmother Ji’s tone was still much more restrained. No matter how unruly and willful Tang Yingxue was, she remained just a child in Grandmother Ji’s eyes.

When these words came out of old Grandmother Ji’s mouth, Tang Yingxue’s departure from the Ji family became a foregone conclusion. Tang Yingxue turned pale with fright and shouted at Grandmother Ji.

“Why do you think Du Jiuyuan wants a divorce? She’s just a regular woman who grew up in a rural area. Brother Jingchen just doesn’t like others to oppose him. Mother has already said that she will let me be with brother Jingchen, not to mention that we’re already together...” Tang Yingxue was deliberately angering old Madam Ji, it was also because she did not want to leave the Ji family.

“Just you wait and see! We already had an intimate relationship, and he won’t let me go so easily.” Tang Yingxue saw that the old lady was extremely angry, so she quickly left after saying this.

‘It would be best if I actually angered the old lady to death. Du Jiuyuan is clearly not related to her by blood, yet she treats her as if they were blood-related.’ Tang Yingxue thought to herself.

The old lady got up and used her walking stick to chase Tang Yingxue away. However, she was too old and could not keep up with her footsteps. After a few steps, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

...

Du Jiuyuan rushed to the hospital after receiving the call. At this moment, the old lady had already left the emergency room and was transferred to a single ward.

Ji Jingchen, Old Madam Ji, and a few servants of the Ji family were all present, but Tang Yingxue was nowhere to be seen.

“I won’t die. All of you can go back home!” The old lady was truly angered by Tang Yingxue and was in a trance.

“Mother, what are you...” Old Madam Ji was about to say something when she was interrupted by the old lady. “I said, go back home!”

Although the old lady was not in good shape, her gaze was as sharp as a knife when she looked at Old Madam Ji. Old Madam Ji’s heart trembled when she saw her. She pretended to be concerned and said a few words before leading the Ji family’s servants away.

When she saw Du Jiuyuan at the door, she got even more disdainful and ignored her.

“Yuanyuan is here!” The old lady’s mood got much better when she saw Du Jiuyuan, and her tone softened a lot.

“Grandmother, are you okay? Are you alright?” Du Jiuyuan walked to the bedside. The concern in her eyes was not fake.

“I’m fine. I just accidentally sprained my ankle. It’ll be fine in two days. Ji Jingchen, you should go back too! Yuanyuan will accompany me here.” The old lady revealed a kind smile. When she saw Du Jiuyuan, she was truly happy from the bottom of her heart.

Although Ji Jingchen’s thoughts were all over the place, he obediently left the ward.
