Gu Yibei: "..." I won't compete with my childish father-in-law in childishness.
After finishing the meal, before Li Yuan could impatiently kick him out, Gu Yibei immediately brought up the important business he had come for.
"Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin gave Grandpa a full check-up. As long as he rests well, he should be fine. I asked Bai Chuan to bring Grandpa over. He should be arriving soon."
Upon hearing the news about Grandpa Ji, Ji Zhinan quickly asked, "Grandpa is awake?"
"Yes." Gu Yibei nodded: "You've been awake for several days now. You were still in the hospital at the time, so we didn't have time to tell you. Your grandfather has also just woken up, so Dad and I didn't tell him about your hospitalization either, because we were afraid he would worry."
Hearing that Grandpa Ji had woken up, Ji Zhinan finally felt relieved: "How much longer until Grandpa arrives?"
"We should arrive around this time."
Not long after Gu Yibei finished speaking, Bai Chuan brought in Old Master Ji.
“Sir, Madam, Mr. Warrens, I’ve brought the old man with me.”
Upon seeing the old man standing there alive, Ji Zhinan immediately stood up, strode over, and hugged him tightly: "Grandpa."
The old man never expected to live to see his lively granddaughter again, and his eyes immediately reddened: "Grandpa's dear granddaughter..."
Li Yuan also stood up: "Uncle Ji."
Putting aside the master-servant relationship from twenty years ago, it has been Old Master Ji who has raised his Nan Nan all these years, nurturing his little girl into a well-bred young lady.
So no matter what, Li Yuan respected and was grateful to Old Master Ji.
"Young Master." Upon seeing Li Yuan, Old Master Ji immediately bowed.
"Grandpa—" Ji Zhinan tried to stop him, but Old Master Ji held his hand down.
After this ordeal, the old man looked much older. His health, which was once considered good for his age, had deteriorated, and his white hair was a heartbreaking sight.
The old man smiled at Ji Zhinan: "Silly child, you don't understand. Twenty years ago, Grandpa was your father and mother's housekeeper. All these years, I've lived a good life thanks to the money your mother left you. Grandpa isn't an ingrate. What should be forgotten can't be forgotten."
As he spoke, he gave Li Yuan a very standard butler's salute.
Although many years have passed, the old man has not forgotten the aristocratic etiquette he learned from Li Yuan and Xi Luo.
Li Yuan strode forward to support the old man, his dark eyes deep: "Uncle Ji, I'm the one who should be thanking 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 spoke, Li Yuan was about to bow.
Grandpa Ji was flattered and immediately stopped him, saying, "Young Master, please don't say that. This old man can't accept it."
Gu Yibei strode forward and embraced Ji Zhinan.
"Dad, Grandpa, let's sit down and talk things over."
"Yes, yes, yes." Old Master Ji nodded quickly: "Sit down and talk properly, take your time."
The four people went into the living room and sat down. The maid brought them tea.
Ji Zhinan looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, when you fell down the stairs, was it Ji Zhixia who did it?"
This is the answer Ji Zhinan has always wanted to know.
When his granddaughter was mentioned, Grandpa Ji could only sigh: "That child is exactly like her parents. She is too greedy and will never know what gratitude or knowing when to stop is."
