Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Brother, I want to see Grandma.” Xu Jiaojiao was still worried about her grandmother’s condition.
Xu Zhengyang quickly comforted her. “Don’t worry! Dad called just now and said that Grandma’s already awake. She’s fine. She just heard the news on the forum and fainted from anger. She’s alright now.”
“It’s all my fault…” Xu Jiaojiao felt guilty.
“How can it be your fault?! Those bad guys are to blame.” Xu Zhengyang continued to comfort her.
“I’ll go with you.” Qi Shenbai was worried that Xu Jiaojiao would not be able to handle it alone.
“I’ll go too.” Xu Zhengyang naturally wanted to go. After all, she was his grandmother too!
“What about me?” Qi Yunduo suddenly realized that she was useless now.
“Stay here and keep an eye on the computer. There are still a few websites that haven’t been checked. I’ll leave it to you.” Xu Zhengyang turned to Qi Yunduo.
“Alright, 1 promise to complete the mission.” Qi Yunduo stood at attention.
“I’m going home now. Jiaojiao, get well soon, okay? If there’s anything, remember to call me. I’ll be on standby all day.” Su Luo walked up to Xu Jiaojiao and touched her face.
“Thank you.” Xu Jiaojiao knew that Su Luo had been worried about her for the past two days.
“Don’t mention it. We’re best friends. 1 said I’d always protect you.” Su Luo patted Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder righteously.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Old Madam Xu had already woken up, but Xu Zhiming and Tian Fanghua were still frowning.
When they saw Xu Jiaojiao enter, they were all pleasantly surprised.
“Jiaojiao!” Tian Fanghua called out Xu Jiaojiao’s name.
“I’m alright. Sorry for making you worry.”
Again.
Xu Jiaojiao felt guilty.
“What are you talking about, child? We don’t care as long as you’re fine.” Tian Fanghua wrapped her arms around Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulders as her tears fell uncontrollably.
“Why are you crying? Our daughter will feel even more guilty if you cry.” Xu Zhiming quickly hugged his wife.
Tian Fanghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I’m just glad you’re alright.”
“Jiaojiao, come here.” Old Madam Xu looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a benevolent expression and waved her hand.
Xu Jiaojiao walked over and reached out to hold Old Madam Xu’s hand. Her hand was so old and frail, as if it could fall apart at any time.
“Grandma, I’ve made you worry.” Xu Jiaojiao looked at her grandmother guiltily.
“It’s fine. Just don’t be swayed by the comments online. What they said is all fake. They bullied you because there’s light in your heart. They want to extinguish that light, but that’s exactly why you can’t let them succeed. You have to use your light to illuminate the darkness in their hearts. You have to be strong, my child. Do you understand?”
Xu Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, afraid that her grandmother would worry about her again.
“Lil Qi, you’re here too?” Old Madam Xu looked at Qi Shenbai, who was not far away.
“Yes.” Qi Shenbai walked over and crouched down in front of Old Madam Xu’s bed.
“Jiaojiao is a good child, and so are you. The two of you are destined to be together.” Old Madam Xu was very satisfied with her grandson-in-law. She placed their hands together. “Remember, no matter what happens, you have to believe in each other and love each other. Don’t forget the oath you made when you first got together.”
Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai did not know why Old Madam Xu said that, but they nodded in unison.
“I’m fine over here. You guys can go back first!” Old Madam Xu waved her hand.
“No, Grandma, I still want to stay here with you.” Xu Jiaojiao refused to leave.
“Listen to me. I don’t need so many people here.” Old Madam Xu was stubborn.
“Mom, I’ll stay here with you.” Tian Fanghua wanted to take care of her mother-in-law here.
“No need. Listen to me and leave,” Old Madam Xu ordered.
The group of people could not persuade the old lady, so they could only obey.
“Grandma, I’ll come and see you in two days.” Xu Jiaojiao was reluctant to leave.
“There’s no need for that. You youngsters should go do what youngsters do. You don’t have to keep pestering me,” Old Madam Xu insisted.
“Come on, let’s go!” Xu Zhiming knew that his mother had always been stubborn. She had not changed at all in her old age. She did not want to bother the young ones, so he helped her usher everyone away.
When they were outside, Tian Fanghua looked at Xu Jiaojiao with reddened eyes and said, “Jiaojiao, if you have anything to say in the future, just tell Mommy, okay?” She was so careful with her words.
Xu Jiaojiao nodded.
“But how did Grandma find out about this?” Qi Shenbai could not help but wonder. Qi Yun and Xu Zhengyang had already worked very hard to delete the posts on the Internet. Normally, the news should not have reached Old Madam Xu’s ears so quickly..
