Ji Muhan realized her loss of composure, closed her eyes briefly to suppress the sudden anger in her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze had returned to its usual cold and indifferent state. She stood up on her own, exuding an undisguised chill.
He said coldly and mercilessly, "I hope you will stop interfering in my affairs in the future."
Ji Li was speechless, utterly stumped by his words.
After a long pause, he finally spoke in a dry, hoarse voice, "I just wanted to make it up to you..."
All he ever wanted to do was make it up to him, but he didn't know how, so he kept making mistakes...
He didn't mean anything by it, and he certainly didn't want to break them up; he just... wanted to know about his situation...
From the perspective of a grandfather, I care about him...
Ji Muhan's eyes were calm and indifferent as she stared at the kitchen door, not even bothering to look at him. "For so many years, you have never had to worry about my affairs. I hope you will remain the same in the future."
He didn't want to say anything more hurtful, after all... when people are angry, they always unconsciously say hurtful things.
He, of course, was no exception.
But... he didn't want to hurt him!
Even though a faint resentment still lingered in his heart after all these years, as he said, this was the only family he had left…
So let's leave it at that. Don't say anything more. The more you say, the more he'll lose control of himself!
Ji Li felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Watching his retreating figure, her eyes reddened, and she said hoarsely, "Mu Han, I was wrong today. If you're angry, you can always tell me..."
Even if I just say it out loud, it will make him feel better than him turning away like that!
He felt that as long as they weren't treated like strangers anymore, that was enough!
Ji Muhan paused slightly.
Hearing his words, which were filled with pain, I felt a strange unease.
"Over the years, I've only wanted to make it up to you as much as I could, but I could never find the right way. So it's normal for you to feel angry and upset. This time it was my fault, and I won't investigate her anymore."
Ji Li's fingers trembled slightly; this time, he was genuinely worried and afraid.
He was afraid that his actions would completely ruin the already strained relationship between the grandfather and grandson. He knew Ji Muhan's personality; he disliked others interfering in his affairs and was extremely protective of his own.
If he has already decided on that girl, she must not like his actions.
It's also his fault for getting carried away in his excitement and forgetting his bottom line.
"Perhaps we should burn it?"
Ji Muhan suddenly turned around, her gaze indifferent, and said, "No need."
After a few seconds of pause, he said, "Since we've already seen it, what difference does it make whether we burn it or not?"
He understood what he meant. Since he had already investigated, he had already disrespected the girl. What difference would it make if he burned it now?
This is undoubtedly murder, and then saying sorry is pointless. What's done is done, and nothing can undo the damage. No amount of apology can cover up the despicable nature of his actions…
Seeing that Ji Muhan was finally willing to speak, Ji Li couldn't help but ask with some excitement, "So what do you say?"
No matter what he wants, he will do everything he can to make it up to him!
Even if he said he wanted to build a rocket, he would immediately hire people to build it!
Ji Muhan pursed her lips, took a few long strides and walked back, stretched out her right index and middle fingers to pinch the thin piece of paper, and snatched it from Mo Fei's hand without saying a word.
His eyes were slightly cold. "I don't need compensation. The person is already gone, so any amount of compensation would be meaningless."
He is not a saint, and it is impossible that he has never resented it, but... now he has truly calmed down, and he knows that no matter how much compensation is given, it is pale and powerless in the face of death.
Ji Li's face stiffened. The glimmer of hope that had just appeared was once again plunged into the abyss of pain, and his eyes quickly dimmed.
Yes, no matter how hard he tries to make amends, the person can never come back. His sins are too heavy to be repaid.
Ji Li looked at him painfully, her eyes filled with struggle and regret. "I know, I've always known that I'm guilty, and nothing I do can make up for the mistakes I made back then."
"Child, after all these years, all I want is to have a meal with you..."
Even the simplest meal has become the most difficult thing to do!
Moreover, he could never bring himself to say anything about taking over the company again, because he knew he wasn't qualified. He had completely lost that qualification more than a decade ago…
We have no right to tell him how to do it.
Ever since his parents' accident, he seemed to have grown up overnight, becoming so sensible that it was frightening. His eyes were always so cold and indifferent, like a stagnant pool that could no longer be stirred.
Even his very bones exuded a chilling coldness, and everything that happened later—his behavior told him, told everyone—that he hated this house, hated the entire Ji family.
So when he moved out when he was twelve, he didn't stop him. He just let him go. As long as he felt comfortable, he was willing to stay in the army for the rest of his life!
Because, from the moment he watched his mother and father pass away one after another in front of him, he knew... this child still couldn't let go.
They all owed him something; it was their fault that he had suffered inhuman pain all these years.
