In fact, this respectable old man had been holding on for quite some time.
She spent her entire life battling herself, battling life, and battling illness.
Now that we've held on until the very last moment, it can be considered an end to the ordeal.
The entire Wei family came to her bedside.
This family had received countless favors and protections from her, and everyone was genuinely saddened.
Jiang Tian and Wei Jingshen were called to the front by the old man.
Her illness has rendered her unable to speak.
She gestured to the two of them with her eyes.
Wei Jingshen understood his grandmother's meaning and squeezed Jiang Tian's hand tightly.
Grandma glanced at Jiang Tian again, and Jiang Tian nodded to her.
The other members of the tribe said goodbye to her one by one.
That afternoon, the old man passed away peacefully.
The funeral was a grand affair.
The old woman had a very open-minded view on life and death. She did not allow the Wei family's descendants to be immersed in grief, so after the funeral, most people returned to their normal lives.
It took Wei Jingshen a long time to recover.
He had a very deep affection for the old man.
He grew up with the old man.
The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is irreplaceable.
During this difficult period, Jiang Tian stayed by his side.
Shen Yunong finally found a moment to see Jiang Tian.
She told Jiang Tian, "I'm going abroad. The Zhou family won't accept me."
For Shen Yunong, a woman from the lower class in the eyes of others, marrying into a wealthy family is already a great blessing. However, at a crucial moment, she did not choose to stand by her husband's side, nor did she try to get her daughter to issue a letter of forgiveness, which led to Zhou Yunfeng being sentenced to a heavy prison term. Therefore, she will not be accepted by the Zhou family.
Now the Zhou family can no longer tolerate her, her story has become the talk of the town, and everyone is looking at her with mockery. Her former friends have disappeared, and there is no place for her in this city. She has to leave.
Before leaving, Shen Yunong only wanted to see Jiang Tian one last time and make everything clear.
"Are you taking your daughter with you when you leave?"
Shen Yunong naturally wanted to leave with Zhou Xiaoxiao, but Zhou Xiaoxiao did not want to go.
At this critical juncture, she suddenly developed an ambition to seize the Zhou family's assets.
She is Zhou Yunfeng's beloved daughter, so why can't she participate in the family's power struggle?
As long as she is registered in the Zhou family's household register, no one can say that she is not qualified to participate in the shareholding dispute.
The Zhou family already looked down on Zhou Xiaoxiao; she was just a burden. What right did she have to enter the power struggle? She was shameless.
Shen Yunong no longer wanted to persuade her youngest daughter.
The saying "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words" may not be appropriate for a mother and daughter, but it does represent a certain profound meaning.
“She won’t come with me, so I’m not taking her with me. I’m here today to make things clear to you. Actually, I still hate you. As your mother, I will never be a good mother. I made a mistake, and I won’t try to make excuses.”
"Anyway, you're all grown up now. If you want to get revenge on me, I won't see anything wrong with it. Last time I went to see Zhou Yunfeng, I couldn't help you, so you don't need to be grateful to me."
Jiang Tian was even calmer than her: "I have never been grateful to you."
Shen Yunong curled her lips into a smile: "That's good. Don't have any soft feelings for someone like me, because I only care about myself. As for why I helped you, it's just because of my regret. Back then, because I was pregnant with you, I didn't dare to have an abortion, so I couldn't go to university or try a different kind of life."
“It’s been decades, and it’s no longer realistic to pursue those things, yet this regret has haunted my life. I want to correct this mistake, so I’m very obsessed with clearing my name. That’s why I went to see Zhou Yunfeng. I came to explain my motives.”
“I have no maternal love for you. It’s your bad luck to have a mother like me.”
Shen Yunong doesn't want to try to whitewash himself.
She was a bad woman to begin with, and no matter how much others try to cover for her, they can't hide the fact that she abandoned her daughter to embrace a new life.
Therefore, she doesn't need to hide anything from herself. All she can do is to attribute love and hate to love and hate alone, without adding any complicated elements.
Jiang Tian nodded: "I know I'm unlucky, so I no longer see you as my mother. Actually, I think it's unnecessary for you to say all this. To me, you're a stranger."
“You gave birth to me, and according to filial piety, I should be grateful to you for bringing me into this world. However, what kind of person would I be if I gave birth to you but did not raise you? The more I dwell on these questions, the more I will drive myself into a dead end. I don’t care whether you will suffer retribution or what kind of retribution you will suffer. From now on, I will only live for myself.”
Shen Yunong smiled: "Your understanding is correct, and I'm glad you think that way. Of course, if I live a terrible life in the future, that's my own fault; it's all a personal choice."
"Since you think it's unnecessary, then I won't say anything more. I'm leaving."
She left decisively and cleanly.
Shen Yunong no longer cared who hated her or who loved her.
If divine retribution truly exists, perhaps she really will suffer the consequences.
But she chose this path, so she must bear the consequences.
Jiang Tian returned to Wei Jingshen's villa and personally cooked him a meal.
Wei Jingshen has fallen behind on a lot of work because of his grandmother's funeral, and he has been working overtime these past few days.
When he returned and saw the table full of delicious food, a smile unconsciously welled up in his eyes.
"What a special day it is today?"
Wei Jingshen is content with his current life. He has a loved one by his side, and his work is going relatively smoothly. His life has not become so desolate because of his grandmother's passing that he doesn't even have a single person who truly respects him.
Contentment brings happiness, and he cherishes that.
"I just want to cook, don't you want to give me that chance?"
After spending more time together, Jiang Tian no longer maintained the same level of vigilance and distance from him as before.
Wei Jingshen kissed her cheek, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks.
The food my lover cooks is naturally incredibly delicious.
Wei Jingshen didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
They haven't had it in a long time.
The atmosphere and mood were just right today, so Wei Jingshen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
They can be seen everywhere, not just on the bed in the bedroom, but also in the bathroom and by the window.
Wei Jingshen was very pleased.
When lovers do the most intimate things, they gain not only physical satisfaction, but also a spiritual connection.
He likes a balance of passion and tenderness.
Actually, he was thinking that he should put the wedding on the agenda.
He recently postponed his engagement ceremony, and some friends still ask about it from time to time.
He was well aware that there were still some problems in his relationship with Jiang Tian.
However, no couple can enter into marriage without any conflicts.
The weight of feelings is far more important than those conflicts.
