Gu Yibei: "..." Don't compete with your childish father-in-law in childishness.

After dinner, before Li Yuan impatiently kicked him out, Gu Yibei immediately told him the real purpose of his visit today.

"Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin gave Grandpa a full body checkup. As long as he takes good care of himself, there won't be any serious problems. I asked Baichuan to bring the old man over, and he's almost here now."

Hearing the news from Grandpa Ji, Ji Zhinan hurriedly asked, "Is Grandpa awake?"

"Yes." Gu Yibei nodded. "He's been awake for several days now. You were still in the hospital at the time, so I didn't have time to tell you. Grandpa had just woken up too, so Dad and I didn't tell him about your hospitalization because we were afraid he'd worry."

Hearing that Grandpa Ji had woken up, Ji Zhinan finally let go of his worries: "How long will it take for Grandpa to arrive?"

"It should be here around this time."

Not long after Gu Yibei finished speaking, Bai Chuan came in with Old Man Ji.

"Sir, Madam, Mr. Warrens, I've brought the old man here."

Seeing the old man standing there alive, Ji Zhinan quickly stood up, strode over, and hugged the old man tightly: "Grandpa."

The old man never thought that he would live to see his lively granddaughter again. His eyes immediately turned red: "Grandpa's dear granddaughter..."

Li Yuan also stood up: "Uncle Ji."

Apart from the master-servant relationship twenty years ago, it was Grandpa Ji who raised his Nan Nan all these years and nurtured his little girl into a lady from a wealthy family.

So no matter what, Li Yuan respects and is grateful to Mr. Ji.

"Young Master." Seeing Li Yuan, Mr. Ji immediately bowed.

"Grandpa—" Ji Zhinan wanted to stop him, but Grandpa Ji held his hand.

After this incident, the old man looked much older. He used to have good physical fitness among his peers, but now his body has deteriorated and his white hair is heartbreaking to see.

The old man smiled at Ji Zhinan and said, "Silly child, you don't understand. Grandpa was your father and your mother's housekeeper twenty years ago. I have lived a good life all these years relying on the money your mother left you. Grandpa is not an ungrateful person. I can't forget what I should forget."

As he spoke, he gave Li Yuan a very standard steward's salute.

Although many years have passed, the old man still hasn't forgotten the aristocratic etiquette he learned from Li Yuan and Xi Luo.

Li Yuan strode forward and supported the old man, his dark eyes deep: "Uncle Ji, I should be the one to say thank you. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Luo for me that year, and thank you for taking care of Nan Nan for twenty years."

As he said this, Li Yuan was about to bow.

Mr. Ji was flattered and immediately stopped him, saying, "Master, don't say that. This old man can't bear it."

Gu Yibei strode forward and held Ji Zhinan in his arms.

"Dad, Grandpa, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes, yes." Old Master Ji nodded quickly: "Sit down and talk carefully, speak slowly."

The four of them went into the living room and sat down, and the maid brought them tea.

Ji Zhinan looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, you fell from the upstairs. Was it Ji Zhixia who did it?"

This is the answer Ji Zhinan has always wanted to know.

When talking about his own granddaughter, Mr. Ji could only sigh: "That child and her parents are just like two peas in a pod. She is too greedy and never knows what gratitude is or when to stop."
