Chapter 160 Heirloom Jade Bracelet
Watching everyone go back in groups of three or four, Ji Wanwan stretched her sore neck and prepared to get up and go back to her private space with Xia Li to rest.
As soon as she walked into the small building, Ji Wanwan saw Ji Xing, Xu Siming, Zhou Kai, her father and mother who had just left standing in front of her.
Ji Wanwan was slightly startled and realized that something was wrong.
She and Xia Li glanced at each other and quickly stepped forward: "Dad, Mom, Xingxing, you..."
"Grandma..." Pushing through the crowd, Ji Wanwan saw a figure standing in front of everyone.
Under the dim light, Grandma Qi Hao's back looked increasingly hunched, and her desolate and haggard face made it difficult for everyone to take another step forward.
During the meeting, Ji Wanwan deliberately asked Xia Li to dress up in disguise and sit in the most shadowy position, just because she didn't want Grandma Qi Hao to find out.
Now that grandma was standing here, I didn’t know if she recognized Xia Li or for some other reason.
Ever since the battle with the Bai Ze Guild, Qi Hao's coma has become a thorn in everyone's heart. Even if everyone deliberately avoids mentioning it, they will still quietly think of this companion who drives a flashy purple Porsche but has a naive youthful look in various details.
Everyone is trying their best to cover up the fact that Qi Hao is unconscious, but it is just acting after all, how could there be no flaws, especially in front of a grandmother who loves her grandson.
Ji Wanwan knew that this day would come eventually, and she prayed every day that Qi Hao would wake up sooner, before his grandmother discovered the truth. Unfortunately, things often went against one's wishes.
Grandma Qi Hao's cloudy eyes swept over everyone in front of her. She was familiar with these people's faces, but none of them was her grandson.
Grandma Qi Hao leaned on a cane and walked slowly towards Ji Wanwan with her unsteady legs. "Good boy, tell me, is Hao'er in trouble?"
Ji Wanwan moved her lips: "Grandma, Brother Qi Hao is fine, he is fine..."
Before she finished speaking, a tear fell from her grandmother's eyes: "Child, don't lie to me. More than a month ago, I felt empty inside, as if I had lost something precious. It was also from that time that I never saw Hao'er again. Tell me, did something happen to Hao'er at that time?"
Ji Wanwan's eyes turned red, her throat was choked with sobs, and she couldn't utter a word.
Mother Ji, who has always been soft-hearted, couldn't bear it, so she turned sideways, buried her head in Father Ji's chest, and endured the tears softly.
Everyone's expressions already said it all, so there was no need for Ji Wanwan to answer in person.
Grandma's face was covered with tears, her thin and withered body trembling slightly: "From the first time you lied to me, I knew you were not telling the truth, but I still had a lucky hope, imagining that if one day my darling grandson suddenly came back?
But I wait and wait...
After waiting for so long, watching people arrive at the base one after another, but not one of them was my grandson, I knew that my unrealistic fantasy should be shattered and I should face the facts.
Qi Hao's grandmother pounded her chest, her expression painful: "I'm so useless that I can't even protect the last bit of the Qi family's bloodline! I'm sorry for Hao'er, sorry for Hao'er's father, sorry for Hao'er's grandfather, sorry for the ancestors of the Qi family!
I've lived to such an old age, what's the point of having these old bones! Why wasn't I the one to die? Damn it, God! Why did you take away everyone around me and leave me behind? "
The hoarse voice was like a saw pulling back and forth in everyone's heart, and the waves of heartache made them feel at a loss.
Ji Wanwan's voice trembled: "Grandma..."
Grandma Qi Hao choked up, her eyes filled with sorrow: "Child, tell me where Hao'er is buried? As his grandmother, I should go and see him for the last time..."
Ji Wanwan sighed: "Grandma, Brother Qi Hao is not dead, he is really not dead, please believe me!"
She knew that at this moment, if she didn't let her grandmother see Qi Hao with her own eyes, she might really die.
Ji Wanwan took her grandmother's dry hand and led her step by step towards her private space.
Seeing her grandson lying quietly on the bed, Grandma Qi Hao murmured in disbelief: "Hao'er...Hao'er...my Hao'er..."
After a moment, she reached out and gently touched Qi Hao's cheek.
Feeling the warmth and softness from her fingertips, Grandma Qi Hao's body softened and she fell to the ground.
The joy of regaining what she had lost made her cry loudly: "Child, why didn't you bring me to see Hao'er earlier? Do you know how much I missed him..."
Ji Wanwan knew that her grandmother missed Qi Hao, but she didn't dare to bring her grandmother to see him...
At first, Qi Hao's face was as pale as a dead person. She was afraid that her grandmother would faint after seeing him, and then her sin would be even greater.
Ji Wanwan was speechless: "Grandma, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to hide it from you and prevented you from seeing Brother Qi Hao.
I was afraid you would be sad, but I forgot the blood ties between family members. My deliberate concealment was tearing your heart apart."
She leaned over and helped her grandmother to sit down on the bed: "Grandma, please punish me. No matter how you punish me, I will accept it!"
Grandma shook her head and said, "I don't blame you. You have good intentions."
After grandma calmed down a little, Ji Wanwan told her about Qi Hao's current condition and why he was in a coma.
Of course, in order to prevent her grandmother from feeling too distressed, Ji Wanwan still beautified some of the processes.
When she learned that her grandson had been unconscious due to a head injury in the battle, the grandmother was heartbroken and cried for a long time while hugging Qi Hao.
Later, Ji Wanwan saw that it was getting light, and was worried that her grandmother, who was too old, could not bear staying up late, so she forcibly took her back to the suite to rest.
In order to get her grandmother to go back and rest, she also promised the earnest Grandma Qi Hao that she could come to see her grandson at any time.
Before leaving, grandma held Ji Wanwan's hand and said, "Wanwan, my dear, I want to thank you on behalf of Haoer. Without you, Haoer would definitely not be able to get through this difficult time!
"You value Hao'er so much and didn't give up on him under such circumstances. As a grandmother, I have no way to repay you! I can only give this to you as a thank you!"
Grandma took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Ji Wanwan's hand without hesitation: "This is our Qi family's heirloom jade bracelet. It was originally meant to be left to Hao'er's wife, but the world is so chaotic nowadays. What does it matter whether she is a wife or not, or whether she is a family heirloom or not? As long as Hao'er is fine, that's more important than anything else!"
When Ji Wanwan heard that this was to be left for Qi Hao's wife, she was horrified: "Grandma, you can't do that!"
If Qi Hao finds a wife in the future and sees this jade bracelet on her hand, wouldn't that make Qi Hao feel awkward?
But Grandma Qi Hao patted her hands and stopped her: "Child, I know what you think, listen to me..."
