Grandma Gu looked regretful and held her hand, saying, "How disappointed she must be. This important occasion might be the last time in her life."
"Although we won't have a big banquet, the whole family will be by her side."
"That's good. As long as the family is together, that's better than anything. Our family only got together last time you came back, and we don't know when we'll be able to get together again."
Grandma Gu couldn't hide her disappointment; as she got older, she longed for younger people to be by her side.
Jiang Yilai put her arm around her shoulder, but unfortunately, her wish could never be fulfilled.
“Your two cousins are never home. Yuyang is a big star, and sometimes he won’t come back for a year or two. He rarely calls. The only way to miss him is through the screen.”
Jiang Yilai understood her predicament and comforted her, saying, "I will communicate with him in the future and ask him to come back and spend more time with you."
Grandma Gu smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, Qihang is often by my side. Although this child is not very talented, he knows how to make people happy. I don't know when he will mature. We should find him a home."
Jiang Yilai felt a pang of pain in her heart, which showed that the old lady still loved this grandson very much.
If she knew these things, how could she bear it?
"Grandma, I'm a little tired." Jiang Yilai's conscience was pricked at this moment, and she was afraid that if she continued to talk, she would reveal the truth.
Fu Nanxiao chimed in, "Lai Lai has been working overtime these past few days. It's getting late, Grandma, you should get some rest too."
Seeing that Jiang Yilai's expression was starting to crumble, Fu Nanxiao gripped her hand tightly and gave her more strength.
Grandma Gu sighed, stood up, and nodded: "I've been waiting for you younger generations. I feel at ease when I see you come back."
Jiang Yilai said considerately, "Then I'll take you back to your room."
She must remain calm and not let the old man notice anything amiss.
After escorting Grandma Gu back to her room, Fu Nanxiao held her hand tightly the entire time, and could feel her trembling.
"Lai Lai, just hang in there a little longer, we'll be back in our room soon."
Jiang Yilai nodded silently and followed him back to the room.
The moment the door closed, Fu Nanxiao pulled her into his arms.
"It's okay, relax."
Jiang Yilai said sadly, "You heard what Grandma said just now. What do you think we should do next?"
"The later we find out, the less heartbroken we'll be. Let's keep it a secret if we can."
Grandma Gu is already this old, and it wasn't easy for her to finally reunite with her granddaughter.
If I knew now that my beloved grandson had passed away, I simply couldn't bear the blow.
Jiang Yilai nodded, "I dare not let her know."
"It's alright, I'll stay with you." Fu Nanxiao gently patted her head to calm her down.
Jiang Yilai didn't sleep a wink that night. She got up before dawn and ran to the children's room to wait for them to wake up. Only when she saw them could she feel at ease.
Jiang Wenchao opened his eyes and saw his mother sitting by the bed, and smiled happily.
"Mom, am I dreaming?"
Jiang Yilai rubbed his little face: "This is not a dream, Mommy is right beside you."
Jiang Wenchao quickly sat up and reached out his hand to her.
Jiang Yilai held his hand and smiled gently, "Mom took you to school this morning. Now change your clothes first, and then we'll go wake your sister up."
Jiang Wenchao smiled and said, "That's great, it's been a long time since I went to school with my mother."
Jiang Yilai helped him put his clothes on the bed. At such a young age, he already knew how to change his clothes and shoes by himself.
