Tang Youyou noticed that there was something wrong with the old lady’s expression. It seemed that she had become complicated and serious, and her nerves couldn’t help but to tense up. She opened her mouth to ask the old lady for her results, but the old lady returned the phone back to her instead.
Without a word, he turned around and left.
Tang Youyou looked at the old lady’s reaction in surprise. What happened? Why did the old lady’s expression instantly change? Moreover, her attitude towards her seemed to have become colder as well.
Tang Youyou wanted to chase after him and ask about the details, but suddenly, Ji Xiaohan’s voice came from behind.
"Youyou ??"
Tang Youyou stopped and turned her head around immediately. She looked at Ji Xiaohan anxiously, "Has your grandma ever seen my jade pendant? Does she know about my parents?"
Looking at her anxious expression, Ji Xiaohan’s handsome face slightly changed. He quickly walked over and asked, "How do you know that my grandma knows about this?"
Tang Youyou pointed at her phone and said, "I showed her the photo of the jade pendant earlier. She seemed to know something and her face turned bad."
"What?" Ji Xiaohan’s entire body trembled and a hint of coldness emerged from the bottom of his heart. He opened his mouth with some difficulty: "You have a photo in your phone?"
Tang Youyou nodded. "That’s right, when I went to the museum before, I took pictures of the jade pendant."
Ji Xiaohan’s expression instantly turned to despair. He leaned against the wall on the side as if that was the only way to support him.
"Ji Xiaohan, what happened to you again?" Why did your face turn so ugly as well? You... Is there something you’re hiding from me? " Tang Youyou looked at him in astonishment.
"Youyou, I’m going upstairs to change my clothes!" Ji Xiaohan didn’t answer her, he just quickly turned around and went upstairs.
A few minutes later, he came down, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
Tang Youyou sat on the sofa in a daze, seeing him go downstairs, she hurriedly went to welcome him. Ji Xiaohan, however, walked to the door in a hurry and said, "My company suddenly has an emergency and needs me to take care of it. I’ll leave the children to you!"
"Sigh ??" Tang Youyou wanted to stop him to ask a few questions, but Ji Xiaohan didn’t give her a chance. He just opened the car door and got in. The next second, the black car drove away.
Tang Youyou grumbled in dissatisfaction, "They left really quickly. There’s no need to rush for just one or two minutes no matter how urgent something is."
Ji Xiaohan’s car did not leave his manor. Instead, it drove from the villa by the sea all the way to the villa halfway up the mountain.
After he got out of the car, he rushed upstairs. In the corridor, he saw the old lady sitting on the sofa on the balcony by herself, holding her father’s memento in her hand.
In her hand was a clean towel. Although the picture frame was spotless, the old lady still had to wipe it herself every two days. Every time, there would be tears in her eyes.
Ji Xiaohan’s heart also felt heavy. His steps felt like they were filled with lead as he walked towards the old lady step by step.
When he reached the balcony door, the old lady suddenly shouted, "Kneel!"
Ji Xiaohan looked at his grandma and his eyes were filled with tears again. He knew the seriousness of the situation. He silently kneeled down in front of his grandma and father.
"Did you already know Tang Youyou’s background?" The old lady was extremely shrewd. Her gaze was fixed on Ji Xiaohan as she forced him to speak the truth.
Ji Xiaohan was silent. He lowered his head a little, not daring to look at his grandmother’s eyes, not daring to look at his father’s face. His father’s smile in the photo was so gentle.
"Xiaohan, ever since you were a kid, you have always been Grandma’s pride. You’ve always been the closest to Grandma, you said that you would never lie to her in your life. Grandma believes you, now shouldn’t you tell Grandma the truth?" Tears fell from the old lady’s eyes. Her heart was filled with sorrow and grief.
She was also very disappointed. She never thought that her grandson would hide such a huge secret from her.
Ji Xiaohan stared at the ground. Then, he bit his lips and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Grandma. I already knew about her background."
"You bastard!" The old lady instantly became furious and scolded, "You really are an unfilial child. How can you continue to be with her when you already know that she is Xia Weiwen’s daughter? You still want to get married to her, don’t you? Your mother is Xia Weiwen’s wife, and you married his daughter. This relationship is too messy. This is a disgrace. "
Ji Xiaohan knew that his grandma’s words made sense, and he really should scold her. He clearly knew that it was an abyss, but he still wanted to drag Tang Youyou and jump down together; he didn’t have time to think about the consequences, nor did he dare to think about it. All he knew was that he wanted to marry this woman and give the child a complete family.
But now, the truth of the matter had come to light, and his only hope would probably not be complete.
"I’m sorry, Grandmother!" Ji Xiaohan apologized in a low voice.
However, the old lady started crying: "Don’t say sorry to me, you are sorry to your father, Xiaohan, how can you do that? You do this to my grandmother, and she’s really sad and disappointed, you know? "
"But ??" I love her. I really do. " Ji Xiaohan’s voice was also filled with sadness.
"Daughter of someone who loves her enemy, you’re really unyielding." The old lady snorted, "Didn’t you once swear that you would never meet anyone from the Xia Family in your entire life? What about the oath you made? "
Ji Xiaohan’s gaze instantly froze, it was as if he had stopped breathing. He could only feel waves of dull pain in his chest.
"Grandmother ??"
"Don’t say anything else. If you want to marry Tang Youyou, unless your grandfather and I are no longer in this world, I will go to heaven to plead for you with your father to forgive you, you unfilial son." The old lady instantly expressed her opposition to his marriage with Tang Youyou.
Ji Xiaohan’s body trembled again. He raised his head, and his eyes were filled with pleading: "Grandma, just treat Youyou as someone who isn’t from the Xia Family. She never had anything to do with it, so can you just treat her parents as dead? "Don’t let her leave me, and don’t let the children leave either."
The old lady didn’t think that her grandson would still insist on marrying Tang Youyou. She was also filled with grief as she said furiously, "Are you trying to anger your grandfather to death with me? I already told you, you have to marry her. Unless we are both dead, you can’t have any relationship with her. "
Ji Xiaohan had lost all hope in his heart.
