Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 817: Thinking That Currying Favor with Old Madam Ji Means She Can Gain a Foothold in the Ji Family
Father and daughter went downstairs and saw Old Madam Ji and Ji Shanshan already seated.
"Wei, come sit next to grandma," Old Madam Ji beckoned Ji Wei over.
On one side was Ji Shanshan, and Ji Wei went around to the other side to sit down. Ji Yunli also came over and sat down. Seeing the few people who rarely gathered together, Old Madam Ji felt very emotional, "Even though none of you live very far away, it’s rare that we gather like this. Today, I’ll break the rule and have a little drink!"
Influenced by emotion, Old Madam Ji’s eyes were a bit moist. As she spoke, she raised the small glass in front of her.
"Grandma, you can’t drink. Otherwise, the doctor will say you’re not following the diet again," Ji Shanshan directly snatched the glass from her hand and replaced it with a glass of orange juice.
"Look at this, Shanshan comes back acting like she’s grown up, managing everything I eat," Old Madam Ji grumbled, yet her face was marked with a joyful smile.
Ji Wei looked deeply at Ji Shanshan.
Earlier upstairs, she asked the servant how Ji Shanshan was doing after returning to the Ji Family. The servant answered that Ji Shanshan moved directly into Old Madam Ji’s room to sleep and was particularly filial to her, with nothing strange beyond that.
Ji Shanshan’s thoughts weren’t hard to guess; she surely believed that by currying favor with Old Madam Ji, she could establish herself within the Ji Family.
Throughout the meal, Ji Shanshan was very attentive to the old lady, offering dishes, pouring water, and advising her to eat slowly to avoid choking.
In contrast, Ji Wei, who occasionally engaged with the old lady, seemed somewhat distant.
After dinner, Ji Yunli went back to the study to handle company affairs. Only Ji Shanshan, Ji Wei, and the old lady were left in the living room. As soon as Ji Wei sat down, her phone rang—it was Gu Moqian calling.
She greeted Old Madam Ji and went outside the living room to answer the phone.
"Where’s my little great-grandson?" Not seeing An An for a while made Old Madam Ji feel restless. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The servant next to her replied, "The young master is asleep in the room upstairs."
"Oh." Old Madam Ji sat back on the sofa with some loss.
After finishing the call, Ji Wei returned and said, "Grandma, Mo Qian is coming back tonight. I’ll take An An with me when I leave."
"So soon?" Old Madam Ji was obviously reluctant; she hadn’t spent much time playing with her little great-grandson yet.
"Yes," Ji Wei responded.
As soon as Ji Wei finished speaking, Ji Shanshan, sitting beside Old Madam Ji on the sofa, suddenly spoke up, "Cousin, Grandma really likes An An. Let him stay at the Ji Family for a couple of days to accompany her! Besides, you can return and enjoy some alone time with your husband."
"Shanshan is right; I live each day as it comes. I hope, in my remaining years, to create more memories with An An. Wei, fulfill Grandma’s wish, please. Ahem..."
After speaking, Old Madam Ji clutched her chest and coughed a bit.
Ji Wei remembered in her previous life, it was the year she turned 22 when Grandma passed away.
If this life ends the same way, Grandma truly doesn’t have much time left.
Ji Wei’s mood suddenly grew much heavier.
She didn’t want Grandma to have any regrets, so she smiled and walked over, holding Grandma’s hand: "Alright, An An will stay at the Ji Family for a few days. I’ll come personally to pick him up then."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ji naturally felt full of joy.
"Grandma, let me help you back to rest. We’ll come back after An An wakes up," Ji Shanshan swiftly stood up, assisting Old Madam Ji as they walked out.
As they descended the steps at the entrance, the corner of Ji Shanshan’s eye secretly glanced at Ji Wei standing in the living room, and a gleam of malice suddenly flashed from the depths of her eyes!
