"Nan Nan, you've arrived."
"Grandpa," Ji Zhinan placed the fruit on the table, "I bought you some fruit."
Grandpa Ji beamed and said, "Good boy."
His gaze fell on Ji Zhinan's hand, and when he saw the pink diamond on her middle finger, the old man paused, "Is this... a sign that you're planning to settle down?"
Ji Zhinan stared at his hands, his eyes gentle: "Mm."
The old man's eyes immediately reddened, and he kept nodding and smiling, "Good, very good."
He didn't live to see Miss Luo and Young Master Li's wedding back then, but it's good that he can see Nan Nan now.
"Yi Bei and I discussed it and decided that we won't have a big engagement ceremony."
"That's fine too." The old man nodded repeatedly. "You young people should focus on your work and strive for a couple more years before you get married and have children. Just don't forget this old man on your wedding day."
"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Ji Zhinan grasped the old man's hand. "On my wedding day, no one else can come, but you must be there."
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't stop his tears from falling.
"Good boy...good boy..."
"If only they were still here, if only..."
They… Ji Zhinan paused, taken aback.
For some reason, her heart suddenly started racing when she heard her grandfather say those words.
She knew that the "they" her grandfather was referring to were his father and mother.
Seeing Ji Zhinan lost in thought, the old man wiped away his tears and asked, "Nannan, what's wrong?"
Ji Zhinan snapped out of his daze and shook his head: "It's nothing."
But her expression didn't seem like anything was wrong, and Grandpa Ji got anxious: "You child, is there anything you can't tell your grandpa?"
"Never mind, even if you knew, you wouldn't tell me anyway."
"..." The old man understood and fell silent.
“…” Ji Zhinan looked at the old man for several seconds before taking out two items that the old man had once given him from his bag.
Phoenix Jade Pendant and Infinite Black Card.
"This jade pendant is only produced in Europe, with extremely low production, making it priceless. This black card belongs to XX Bank, which is the oldest bank in China. According to my investigation, this type of card has never been issued before. Only high-end customers of the bank who hold platinum cards can own this card, which means that this card is also very valuable."
Ji Zhinan looked at the old man and said, "These two items are worth dozens of Ji family members. They convey a message to me: this absolutely cannot belong to the Ji family."
The Ji family came from farming backgrounds and were supported by the old man. If they were really rich, they would definitely invest in the company instead of keeping these two things at home.
Moreover, Ji Zhinan was certain that Ji Pengfei and his family of three were completely unaware of the existence of the jade pendant and the bank card, otherwise they wouldn't have been so well-behaved.
Then she thought back to when the old man handed the things to her, he repeatedly gave her instructions out of concern.
Treat it like your own life, protect it, and never lose it.
Therefore, some things don't need to be said too explicitly; they all understand them in their hearts.
"..." The old man sat on the hospital bed, lowered his head and chose to remain silent.
Ji Zhinan wasn't in a hurry. He pulled over a chair and sat down opposite him.
She has plenty of patience to keep you company.
After about five minutes, the old man finally looked up, his voice slightly hoarse: "Child, are you really going to be so stubborn?"
Ji Zhinan stared at him: "Grandpa, I'm already 20 years old. You can't protect me for the rest of my life, and I can't live under your protection forever."
