Chapter 243 Acciden (2/2)
Watching her yeye's change of expressions, Yue Ling faintly smiles. It's been a long time since she last played a game of Go with him.
After she met with Jingxu, she came to see her grandfather. The two of them are the only close relatives she has left in the world.
She stare at the old man and her expression turned into sorrow and guilt.
Although her grandfather acts strong, she can't help but feel that time has truly gone by. Her Yeye has more wrinkles now and his hair is white instead of gray.
Noticing his granddaughter staring at him, Old man Ji looks at her. Seeing how she is still in a daze, he straightens his spine and taps her forehead.
”When did you lose your manners?”
”....”
Yue Ling pout her lip like a child who had been wronged. She rubs her forehead and scoffs sarcastically at her Yeye.
”Is it wrong to look at my handsome Yeye?”
Old man Ji laughs and set his chess piece down, ”Alright, tell Yeye, what is in your mind?”
Staring at her old man, Yue Ling couldn't help but sigh inside. In this whole world, the only person she can never fool is her Yeye.
”Yeye.... I want to ask you a question.”
Old man Ji nod his head without saying a word. However, his expression was enough to tell Yue Ling to continue her words.
”After nai nai left this world, did you ever think about remarrying?”
”.....”
Old man Ji's brows furrow at her words. However, he quickly remembered Inu's encounter at the Lu family home. He narrow his eyes as if reading her, then he sigh.
”Your nai nai is the woman I loved ever since I was a teenage boy.”
He sigh again and looks down at the chess board. This chess board was the last gift his wife bought for him before she left the world.
Even her things are still left untouched. No matter how long, he never thought to throw anything of his wife's out.
”Because I gave her all the love I had to be able to grow old with her, I never thought to remarry. My love is only meant for her and even in death, it is Her's alone.”
He looks at Yue Ling and he faintly smile.
”I'm not sure why you are asking me this, but this is my opinion. Although you and Shin boy were engaged before, he left because he had served his purpose here in the world.”
Old man Ji reach his hand and pat Yue Ling's head softly.
”You still have the choice to grow old with the person you come to love. I'm sure Shin boy will want you to move on too.”
Hearing her grandfather's words, Yue Ling smile at him. She had always wanted an everlasting love like her Yeye and nai nai's.
Others may see her grandfather as a strict and powerful old man, but only a few knows the real him. The real him that is strong on the outside, but very soft hearted on the inside.
Thinking till there, she decides to tell him about Lu Tian. To tell him that she found a new love.
”Yeye, I—”
”Chairman.”
Before Yue Ling could finish her words, Zhang Yong's voice interrupts her. Both grandfather and granddaughter turn to look in the direction of the assistant.
Old man Ji frown for having his quality time with his granddaughter disrupted, but also feeling something out of place.
”What is it?”
Zhang Yong glance at Yue Ling then walks over to to Old man Ji. Handing the old man a piece of paper, he takes a step back.
Old man Ji reads the paper and he abruptly stands up. He clench his fists and crumple the paper.
Seeing her grandfather's expression, Yue Ling furrow her brows, ”Yeye, what happened?”
She looks at the crumple paper and takes it from the man's hand.
Neither Old man Ji or Zhang Yong stopped her from unfolding it and reading it.
Yue Ling carefully read the paper, however, each word she read, her eyes darken ten shade black.
Finishing, she hands the paper back to Zhang Yong and stood up from her seat.
”Yeye, you take a rest. I will handle this.”
