Upon learning from Fu Yunchen that Old Madam Yi was seriously ill, Yi Tianran rushed back from the countryside early the next morning.
Entering and leaving the Yi family's old residence was not difficult for Yi Tianran, so that afternoon, Yi Tianran disguised herself and appeared in front of the old lady's bedroom.
Standing at the door of the old lady's room, Yi Tianran pursed her lips, trying to calm her racing heart.
If we're talking about the entire Yi family, the only person Yi Tianran truly cares about is Old Madam Yi.
Back then, Yi Hai had an affair, but because of the asset ties, he refused to divorce his mother and wanted to continue to squeeze out her last bit of profit.
During the most difficult time, it was Old Mrs. Yi who stepped in and helped her and her daughter successfully escape from the Yi family.
The old lady knew that doing this would make Yi Hai resent her. They were not biological mother and son, and maintaining a semblance of peace was already difficult. If she interfered in this matter, it would only make their relationship more strained.
But the old lady did not hesitate at all. Her deep brown eyes seemed to see through people's hearts. "That kind of heartless bastard will only ever care about his own interests. No matter how good I am to him, he will never remember to be grateful. False peace will not last long. Anyway, I have never expected anything from him."
My heart aches for my precious granddaughter, and I will never let you suffer any more injustice.
And I admire your mother. Unlike me back then, she didn't just watch helplessly as her husband got into a bunch of affairs and fathered so many illegitimate children, yet she still refused to give up her position as his first wife, trapped in a cage, and dragged it out until his death.
Your mother is optimistic, cheerful, independent, and willing to take you away. What reason do I have not to grant you your freedom and happiness?
These words are deeply engraved in her heart.
At that moment, Yi Tianran took a deep breath, concealing the trembling in her heart, and gently pushed open the door.
In my memory, Mrs. Yi had brown hair, was well-maintained, had a dignified demeanor, and was always full of energy.
Now, the elderly woman leaning against the bed has graying temples, a haggard face, and seems to have lost most of her energy. Anyone who looks at her can tell that her condition is serious.
Yi Tianran's nose tingled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
She bit her lip hard to suppress the bitterness that was about to rise from her throat.
"Old Lin, I told you there's no need to see a doctor anymore. I know my own body—" Before she could finish her weary words, a surprising light suddenly shone in Old Madam Yi's cloudy eyes the moment she saw Yi Tianran.
Even though she had disguised herself and looked completely different from her original appearance, Grandma Yi recognized her at a glance. She was her beloved granddaughter whom she had been longing for for six years.
Yi Tianran slipped into the room, closed the door, turned to look at Grandma Yi, and said softly, "Grandma, I'm back."
Grandma Yi's eyes held a hint of surprise, but she let out a heavy snort and said, "I must have entered the underworld, otherwise how could I have seen someone who is already..."
Grandma Yi paused there, but Yi Tianran laughed, walked over and took her hand, saying affectionately, "Grandma still loves me the most, she wouldn't even use the word 'death' on me."
Grandma Yi sighed: "Ranran, you really have the heart to hurt your grandma. That farce back then almost scared me to death."
She had a difficult life with children; all three of her sons were the result of her husband's extramarital affairs. She finally gave birth to a well-behaved and considerate daughter, but she passed away many years ago...
The only person who truly cares for her is this granddaughter in front of her.
Yi Tianran nestled into her arms with a smile, acting as spoiled as she did when she was a child: "Grandma, before I faked the car accident, I told you in advance that I was fine, and I even contacted you right afterward..."
"But you haven't set foot in China for five years, and I haven't even been able to see my great-grandson!" Old Mrs. Yi complained.
“But Grandma, didn’t you see the little furball when you went abroad?” Yi Tianran said with a smile. “Now that I’m back, if you miss that little guy, I can bring him over for you to see again when I have the chance.”
Whenever her grandmother was unhappy, she would bring up the time when her grandmother left, and Yi Tianran had long been used to it.
"I heard you had more than one child," said Old Mrs. Yi, patting her back. "Were the two from the Fu family also yours?"
"Grandma, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."
Grandma Yi smiled and said, "I saw the two children from the Fu family at a banquet before. The older one looks exactly like Xiao Maotuan, but the younger one doesn't look like you."
These words startled Yi Tianran.
Fu Yunchen cherishes Geng Geng and Huai Huai very much and would not easily let them appear in public. It is quite strange that he would bring them to the banquet.
However, Yi Tianran did not show it, but simply smiled and said, "I'll explain this to you in detail later..."
"I haven't seen Little Fur Ball in a long time. I heard you recently went back to the Fu family. Why don't you bring those two Fu family children over so I can see them? They've grown up so much, and I, their great-grandmother, haven't given them a gift yet. Later, I'll give them your mother's share as well." After saying this, Old Mrs. Yi sighed.
She never imagined that Yi Tianran's mother would pass away even earlier than her. Looking at her granddaughter, she felt even more pity for her.
The Fu family's son has never had a woman by his side for so many years, but as soon as Ranran returned, he let her live in the Fu family home, which shows that he is truly sincere towards her. However, Ranran is also stubborn, and she didn't want to say much.
Hearing Grandma Yi's sigh, Yi Tianran felt guilty and said, "Grandma, I'll bring them to see you next time."
"When will it be next time?" Old Mrs. Yi pressed.
Yi Tianran thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, after I finish my work, I will bring them to see you."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yi finally nodded in satisfaction.
Yi Tianran left after comforting Old Madam Yi, but she didn't feel so relaxed.
Grandma Yi's condition is very strange. She has been studying medicine in college and has never relaxed her studies over the years, but after secretly examining her just now, she didn't know what illness her grandmother had.
Having no other option, she had to ask Zhuang Yizhan for help.
Zhuang Yizhan, her partner and also a world-renowned doctor, whose medical skills far surpassed Yi Tianran's, did not answer immediately after listening to her account. Instead, he paused for a moment and said, "This situation sounds a bit complicated. I need to take a look myself to confirm it."
Yi Tianran was touched: "You can really leave? Didn't you say you'd travel the world to find your goddess?"
Zhuang Yizhan, on the other end, seemed a little embarrassed: "The latest news is that someone saw my goddess at the airport in China."
Yi Tianran's emotion vanished without a trace: "..."
Fine, seeing a doctor is just a side effect.
