The old lady was indeed fine. In that situation earlier, if she hadn’t put on an act, Ji Jingchen would have forced the wedding to go on.

Du Jiuyuan quickly figured out the reason behind Grandmother Ji’s actions. She was doing this to help Du Jiuyuan, and had even hinted at her before.

“Grandmother, you’re helping me on purpose. Why? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t allow me to divorce Ji Jingchen?” Du Jiuyuan was a little puzzled.

“I don’t want you to divorce, but I can’t ignore your feelings for that rascal!” Grandma Ji clearly doted on Du Jiuyuan very much.

She understood that without Du Jiuyuan, there would be no one else who could tolerate Ji Jingchen.

“You’re a good child. If Ji Jingchen gives you trouble in the future, come and look for grandmother. If you don’t have enough money, come and look for your grandmother too. I am old, and it’s not certain how many years I have left. If you have time, come and accompany your grandmother more often, okay?” Grandmother Ji was clearly a sensible person.

“Of course. You will always be my grandmother,” Du Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment and muttered.

“He won’t make things difficult for me.” After knowing Ji Jingchen for so long, Du Jiuyuan was very clear about this matter.

Although they had come to this point, Ji Jingchen was not a narrow-minded person who would take revenge at will. After all, he was the man she had loved for so long. He still had character.

Seeing that Du Jiuyuan was still willing to protect Ji Jingchen, Grandmother Ji was relieved. She sighed heavily, feeling a little regretful.

Back then, when she found out that Yuanyuan liked Ji Jingchen, she was so happy. She had taught Ji Jingchen how to survive in such a rich and powerful family, but she had never taught him what love was.

Du Jiuyuan had never regretted it. She had lived in the world of love for five years, and now she was prepared to live for herself.

“Grandmother, I’ve disappointed you.” Du Jiuyuan was a woman who needed to be loved but it was now time for her to live for herself.

“You didn’t disappoint me. I didn’t take good care of you and made you suffer.” The old lady recalled what Tang Yingxue said that day and understood how difficult it was for Du Jiuyuan to live in the Ji family.

“Grandmother, please don’t say that. I loved him so much previously. Yet, this path was my choice. However, if I had to do it all over again, I definitely wouldn’t love him so humbly.”

The two of them chatted for a while, completely ignoring the group of people at the entrance of the emergency room.

“Sigh, let’s go back! Let’s go back and have a good rest.” The old lady sighed deeply and reluctantly let go of Du Jiuyuan’s hand.

Du Jiuyuan nodded, stood up, and walked to the door. Then, she turned around and bowed from the bottom of her heart.

Tears immediately welled up in both of their eyes, but they didn’t fall.

“Good child, go! You must come and visit grandmother more often.” The old lady waved her hand, and in an instant, she seemed to have aged several years.

When Du Jiuyuan walked out of the emergency room, Old Madam Ji could not hide the disgust in her eyes when she looked at Du Jiuyuan, while Tang Yingxue still had a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Ji Jingchen glanced at Du Jiuyuan, and his cold gaze seemed ready to cut her into pieces.

If looks could kill, Du Jiuyuan felt that she would have already been dead in the hands of Ji Jingchen.

Ji Jingchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

“Congratulations! As you wish, I will repay you…” Ji Jingchen squeezed out every word from between his teeth.

After saying that, Ji Jingchen let go of Du Jiuyuan’s hand and walked straight to the emergency room while Du Jiuyuan went in the opposite direction.

The situation in the emergency room was as Ji Jingchen had expected. The old lady’s face was fine, and the medical equipment did not show any signs of being used.

“You were the one who forced me to marry her back then, and now you’re forcing me to get a divorce. Am I that easy to manipulate?” Ji Jingchen’s anger grew stronger and stronger as he spoke in a cold tone.

“If you were obedient, would I have to go through this?” The old lady knew that he was blaming her for helping Du Jiuyuan, so she did not get angry with him.

She was already so old, yet she still had to worry so much for him.

“Grandmother, you know that I don’t want to divorce Yuanyuan, so why do you still want to help her?” Ji Jingchen could not figure this out.

Grandmother’s attitude was not like this before, so there must be a reason for this sudden change.

“Yuanyuan suffered a lot in the Ji family. Besides, she doesn’t love you anymore, so why do you need to tie her down with marriage and suffer together?”

Ji Jingchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard his grandmother’s words.
