Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âWhat are you doing here?â Ning Yaohuaâs face stiffened when he saw Ning Xi. Obviously, he was also afraid that she would ruin things at that critical moment.
âSister, youâre here! Quickly go see Grandfather! You usually donât come back, Grandfather has been missing you. The person he definitely wants to see the most now would be you!â Ning Xueluo cried as she said this.
The way these words were saidâŠ
Clearly, she was trying to imply that Ning Xi was usually nowhere in sight and had only rushed over when someone was about to die.
âWhatâs there to see? Why are you here to pretend to be filial at such a time?â Zhuang Lingyu said in a hostile tone.
Ning Xiâs heart was focused on the elder and she did not have the time to deal with these people. She looked through the glass window of the ICU room, silently watching the old man who lay on the sick bed.
She knew that Mother Wu was right. The person who worried Grandfather the most was herâŠ
Ning Tianxin walked over and pat her on the shoulders to console her, looking guilty.
âHowâs Grandfather?â Ning Xi asked.
Ning Tianxin replied sorrowfully, âHeâs temporarily stable, but the doctor saidâŠthat Grandfatherâs health is not looking too positiveâŠheâs afraidâŠthat he wouldnât make it past this winterâŠâ
âXiao Xi, donât be too sad. When a person reaches this age, there will be a day whenâŠâ Su Yan consoled her and gave her a tissue on the side.
Ning Xi felt uncomfortable at Su Yanâs words.
Grandfather was not dead yet, but his words made it sound like there was no doubt about it happening.
At that moment, in the ward, Elder Ning suddenly opened his eyes slowly and looked towards Ning Xi outside the window, struggling as if he wanted to say somethingâŠ
The nurse took off the breathing aid and leaned in close to hear the elder, then she opened the door to walk out and ask, âThe patient says he wants to see a Miss Xiao Xi. Which one of you is her?â
Instantly, everyone looked towards Ning Xi.
âThatâs me!â Ning Xi quickly said.
âCome in with me, but the patientâs still very weak now, donât talk to him for too long,â reminded the nurse.
âOkay, I know, thank you!â
Ning Xueluoâs heart was full of envy as she watched Ning Xi walk right in. She had tried to please this old man, yet she was afraid that he would never compare her to a single strand of Ning Xiâs hair in his heartâŠ
Of course, what she revealed on the surface was sadness and disappointment.
Su Yan consoled her when he saw her disappointed face. âXiao Xi is not at home all year. The old man would have definitely missed her a little.â
Ning Yaohua did not care about Ning Xueluo. He was preoccupied with what the elder would have called Ning Xi in to talk about. Sadly, the soundproofing in the ward was so good that nothing could be heard from the outside.
Inside the ward, Ning Xi quickly held the elderâs hand, âGrandfatherâŠâ
The elder trembled as he looked at her emotionally. âYouâre hereâŠâ
As she watched the elderâs weak and withered appearance, Ning Xiâs heart was wrenched, âGrandfather, Iâm sorryâŠâ
âSilly child, why are you apologizing for?â The elder stroked her hair and gasped for a few huge breaths. He was afraid his body would not hold up any longer, so he immediately said to her, âXiao Xi, Iâve always hoped that I could wait for the day you take over the company. That way, I could still be around to help you wipe out the obstacles and have you sit stably in position, but nowâŠIâm afraid I have no more time leftâŠ
âI know that you now have your own career, your own lifeâŠyouâre angry and unwilling to returnâŠforget itâŠI wonât force youâŠ
âIâve left 10 percent of the shares for you in my will, enough for you to be well taken care of for the rest of your lifeâŠI didnât dare leave you too muchâŠbecauseâŠa manâs wealth is his own ruin by causing the greed of othersâŠit would attract bad news for youâŠâ
