Chapter 24

There was a regular sound coming from the door. Ji Wei was playing games with headphones on in her room. She shouted several times but no one responded.
Could it be that Dr. Ji forgot to bring something?

She slowly moved over with the help of the wall, and finally reached the entrance. She stretched out her hand to open the door.

The next second, I was frozen in place, unable to move.

"………grandfather?"

"Xiao Zhao, it's really you." Mr. Lu's usually serious face rarely softened, like an ordinary old man,

Although he had long heard the news about Ye Zhaozhao's return to the capital from the Lu bandits, Mr. Lu still became red-eyed when he actually saw Ye Zhaozhao standing in front of him.

He wiped the corners of his eyes: "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

Ye Zhaozhao said a choked "Yeah" and welcomed the old man in.

As soon as she moved, the old man saw her red and swollen ankles. The instructor took two steps forward with a wink, "Young madam, let me help you."

in the living room,
Mr. Lu sat on the sofa and looked around at the environment. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Xiao Zhao, let's go home. The conditions at home are not comparable to those outside."

"What's wrong with your foot? Is it serious? Have you been to the hospital?"

"See." Ye Zhaozhao smiled obediently: "The doctor said there is no big problem, just take care of yourself for a few days."

"How can that be done!" Mr. Lu disagreed: "Look at the swollen old man. How long will it be better to just feed him? He still needs to eat nutritious food and have someone take special care of him. Xiao Zhao, you can do it today. Go home with grandpa..."

Mr. Lu kept talking, but Ye Zhaozhao never interrupted.
In the past three years, she had obeyed her heart and not sent any news to the Lu family. The only person she felt most sorry for was the old man who had always loved her.

Mr. Lu said he was thirsty and took the water glass from the instructor's hand.

Ye Zhaozhao suddenly said: "Grandpa.",
"I won't go back." She said. Seeing Mr. Lu's expression change, she immediately reassured him: "It's nice here."

"I live with my friend, she can take care of me, and I can take good care of myself."

"And...", she smiled: "I wonder if Lu Bandit didn't tell you that he and I have... divorced."

It's good now. Although life is dull, this is what she pursues.She didn't want to have anything to do with the land bandits anymore.

Seeing that Mr. Lu looked ugly, he obviously knew about this, so Ye Zhaozhao did not continue the topic.

I asked Mr. Lu about his physical condition.

Before she and Lu Bandit divorced, her grandfather's health was not very good.

"As you get older, your bodies will definitely not be comparable to those of you young people."

Seeing that Mr. Lu was "angry", Ye Zhaozhao regained some of his previous feelings and felt a little warm in his heart.

Mr. Lu asked her where she had been in the past three years and how she had been. Ye Zhaozhao picked out what he could say and told Mr. Lu.

Hearing that Ye Zhaozhao was now doing a job he liked and that his friends also had careers, Mr. Lu patted her hand happily.

"Grandpa knows you are a good boy, but you are a little bandit and I feel sorry for you."

"No, Grandpa." Ye Zhaozhao said: "We just... are not suitable."

Mr. Lu didn't say anything more, just silent.

The instructor, who had been standing behind him without any presence, bent down and whispered: "Old chief, it's getting late. It's time to go back. Doctor Li is waiting at the old house."

"Doctor Li?"

"It's not a big deal." Seeing her worry, Mr. Lu pretended to be relaxed: "I have to take an injection of nutrient solution every day, but I'm still getting old..."

Ye Zhaozhao naturally didn't believe that he was in good health and had no problem injecting any nutritional solution, but Mr. Lu didn't want to say it, and she knew she couldn't ask.

"Okay, it's getting late, grandpa will go back first."

He gently patted Ye Zhaozhao who was about to get up: "Whatever you want to give, you don't need to pay attention to those false gifts with grandpa." "Grandpa is very happy to be able to come to the old house to visit grandpa from time to time."

Ye Zhaozhao looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, feeling warm and sour in his heart: "I will do it."

After a while, the sound of a car driving away was heard from downstairs.

Ji Wei fell asleep after playing the game. When she just woke up, she found that it was getting dark. She yawned and came out of the room: "Hmm... Xiao Yezi, what do you want to eat for dinner? My brother is out shopping for groceries." ,"

Ye Zhaozhao sat on the sofa and came to his senses: "What?"

"I said what are you eating? My brother -" Ji Wei suddenly approached: "Little Ye Zi, were you crying just now?"

Why are your eyes so red? It's so cute.

"No." Ye Zhaozhao pushed her in a covert manner: "I want to eat hot pot, please ask Dr. Ji to buy it for me."

Ji Wei: "………………"

Ji Wei smiled slightly: "Very good, I want to eat it too. Let's talk about it and die together."

Ye Zhaozhao: "......That's not necessary."

"Ha ha."

Ye Zhaozhao: "………………"

Ji Cheng's cooking skills are very good, and he can also make delicious medicinal food.

He seemed to be in a bad mood. Although he always had a calm face, Ji Wei could still tell it with her years of experience.

After asking, I found out that it was because of my cooperation with Lu.

He needs to return to Haicheng early tomorrow morning, take over in person, review the situation again, and complete the connection with the Lu family.

Ye Zhaozhao had just injured his foot and could not move much in a short period of time, so he could only recuperate in the capital.

Ji Wei looked at her loveless brother: "Brother, are you... worried about Xiao Yezi?"

"It's okay, I'm here, I promise to take good care of her.",
Although she can't cook, she can pay someone to do it.

Ji Cheng didn't admit or deny it. After a while, he responded with a "hmm".

He vaguely knew in his heart that this was a deliberate trick by the Lu bandits, with the purpose of getting him to leave the capital.

As for why the land bandits insisted on him leaving the capital, the answer is self-evident.

He knew that he should trust Ye Zhaozhao and not be easily coaxed away by the land bandits, but the panic that could not be ignored in his heart still made him uncontrollably irritable.

Ji Cheng had an early morning flight. He took a deep look at Ye Zhaozhao's door and walked away after a long while.

In the few minutes he stood at the door, he thought a lot, and the strong sense of crisis made him finally make up his mind————

After he finished this, he told Ye Zhaozhao what he thought of her.

He didn't want to, and couldn't wait any longer.

People are always most decisive when they feel threatened. They miss a lot in vain, and only when they look back do they realize how much good time was wasted.

Because he can't move his legs, Ye Zhaozhao recently started to "return to his old business."

Ji Wei bought her many digital oil paintings. Some of the templates that Ye Zhaozhao wanted were no longer available, so Ji Wei found some other replacements.

Mr. Lu registered on WeChat and sent her a few photos from time to time. At first, they were some shared photos of his life.
