Hearing the voice, Ji Zhinan was stunned. When he looked up, he saw that the old man had burst into tears without him noticing.

"Grandpa..." She clenched her hands tighter, and the old man felt heartbroken when he saw her red eyes.

"Silly child, do you know why your name is Zhinan?"

Ji Zhinan was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"This is the name your mother gave you. She chose it for you herself."

This answer really surprised Ji Zhinan.

She still remembered that in her previous life, Ji Zhixia burned her. She struggled desperately in the fire, but Ji Zhixia was watching her in pain outside the fire.

At that time, Ji Zhixia looked crazy and revealed many secrets.

It seemed that Ji Zhixia did say that her name was not Ji Zhixia before. Her name was Ji Xia, which was a name that the old man forced her to change.

Just because her name is Ji Zhinan.

"Zhi Nan's tea is warm, Gu Bei's clear song is cold. Your mother hopes that you will be an elegant and gentle girl. She said that she wants you to be a happy little princess, happy every day, without being bothered by other trivial matters..."

Zhinan tea is warm, Gubei clear song is cold...

Ji...Zhi Nan.

"Child..." Old Master Ji looked at her familiar face and smiled kindly: "You are a good child. It is my pride and lifelong honor to have a granddaughter like you."

"So... don't deny yourself, you have to have confidence..."

After a pause, the old man continued, "Your mother loved you very much. If she had been able to escape unscathed, she would definitely have stayed by your side instead of... entrusting you to me and asking me to take you away when you were only one month old."

“…”

A lot must have happened back then.

Ji Zhinan sniffed: "So you still don't want to tell me?"

Old Master Ji nodded and said, "What's past is past. Sometimes digging into the truth can only get you into trouble."

Ji Zhinan had already expected this answer.

If the old man had given in so easily, the situation wouldn't have been so embarrassing when they were in the lounge.

"I understand." Ji Zhinan nodded and listened to him obediently without asking any further questions.

"Please take good care of yourself. I... never blame you."

She forced a smile. "Like you said, you kept a lot of secrets from me, but they were all for my safety and happiness. I don't blame you."

Tears filled the old man's eyes again, and he held Ji Zhinan's hand tightly: "Thank you... child, thank you..."

"Don't say thank you to me, I should say it to you. Thank you for being so good to me over the years, thank you for choosing to love me unconditionally..."

It made her feel that her world was not entirely cold, and there was a hint of warmth in that corner...

The old man stared at her for a long time before speaking: "Child, come back... Okay?"

He always knew that she chose to leave the Ji family because of Ji Zhixia.

He didn't want to see her suffer outside. He had promised Miss Luo that he would make sure she lived in a happy and joyful honeypot...

"No need." Ji Zhinan shook his head and refused: "I'm fine outside, really."

The old man lowered his head, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Seeing his disappointed look, Ji Zhinan thought for a moment and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

I made a call and the call was connected quickly.

"Can you come in for a moment?" she asked.
