Nian Ueno

"He is an outstanding and perfect person."

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you his identity. I really like him and I'm pursuing him."

Zhang Da was still unwilling to give up: "Are you lying to me? Are you just making up an excuse to try and make me give up?"

"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth, I already have someone I really like in my heart."

"Zhang Da, if you really like me, then please grant my wish and don't bother me."

"Your affection is just a heavy burden to me."

She had a heart-to-heart talk with him, and her attitude was very sincere.

Zhang Da remained silent for a long while, seemingly lost in thought, before lowering his head dejectedly: "I understand. I'm sorry for bothering you."

After offering an apology, he turned and left.

Jiang Weixi didn't know if he had figured it out, but he probably had.

Jiang Weixi breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want to carry so many emotional debts.

Especially when dealing with such simple-minded and honest people, I really don't want to hurt them, much less deceive them.

My phone vibrated; it was a video call from Grandma Ji.

Jiang Weixi clicked to answer the call.

Grandma Ji's face appeared on the screen, with a car in the background.

Grandma Ji said with a smile, "Xixi, I've arrived at your school gate."

Jiang Weixi was slightly surprised: "Grandma Ji, what brings you here?"

"I missed you, so I asked Lao Zhang to bring me here to see you."

Where are you? I'm going to find you at the door.

Jiang Weixi walked out while holding her phone.

"Wait a minute, let Xiao Wang take a look at how to set up this location."

Grandma Ji handed over the phone, and Aunt Wang's face appeared on the screen.

A minute later, Jiang Weixi received a location.

The location is clearly marked on the map; Grandma Ji is right across the street from the south gate of the school.

Jiang Weixi went out to see the old lady.

Grandma Ji held her hand affectionately.

"Grandma, why did you come all the way here to see me? I'm truly flattered."

"Grandma had nothing better to do, and since she hadn't seen you for a while, she thought she'd miss you, so she came to visit."

Grandma Ji said she was very interested in university campus life.

So Jiang Weixi took the old lady into the school and strolled around several scenic spots.

Grandma Ji was getting old, and after walking for a while, she was exhausted. Her energy was not enough to support her to walk around the entire campus, so in the end, the housekeeper carried her out.

Grandma Ji waved for Jiang Weixi to get in the car and told the others to get out.

Only the two of them remained in the car.

Jiang Weixi was curious about what Grandma Ji wanted to say to her after sending everyone away.

"Xixi, Grandma will ask you one more time, are you willing to marry Xiaoxun?"

Jiang Weixi was taken aback.

Then, she saw solemnity in the pair of cloudy, aged eyes opposite her.

It seems...

Grandma Ji genuinely wanted her to be her granddaughter-in-law and also genuinely wanted her to marry Ji Dongxun.

At times like these, she must seize the opportunity to clearly express her attitude and not show any ambiguous shyness.

Jiang Weixi's expression turned serious. She nodded and said earnestly, "Grandma, of course I'm willing to marry Mr. Ji."

Grandma Ji stared at her for a few seconds.

For some reason, Jiang Weixi felt a kind of oppressive aura enveloping the narrow carriage space.

But soon, Grandma Ji's kind smile returned, and the oppressive aura vanished.

Jiang Weixi broke out in a sweat and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Grandma Ji patted her hand: "Then you have to cooperate with me."

Jiang Weixi's eyes were unreadable: "Grandma, what do you mean...?"

Grandma Ji smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out in a few days."

A black luxury car drove away from the entrance of R University.

Jiang Weixi was completely baffled and couldn't figure out what method Grandma Ji would use to make Ji Dongxun compromise.

Ji Dongxun dislikes her so much and has such a bad impression of her, how could he possibly be willing to marry her?

But she found out the answer in just two days.

Friday afternoon.

Jiang Weixi received a call from the Ji family's housekeeper, saying that the old lady had a high fever and was hospitalized. She was currently unconscious and kept calling out Jiang Weixi's name. The housekeeper asked her to come and see the old lady when she had time.

Jiang Weixi was stunned.

She was perfectly fine just a few days ago, so why is Grandma Ji suddenly hospitalized?

After finishing her afternoon classes, she took a taxi to the hospital.

Inside a high-end VIP ward.

The housekeeper stood at the door and saw Jiang Weixi walking over, so he quickly went to greet her.

"Miss Jiang, you've finally arrived."

"Why did Grandma Ji suddenly develop a fever?"

The housekeeper led her into the ward: "Perhaps the water she used for her bath yesterday afternoon was a bit too cold. The old lady is sick now, and she keeps talking about you."

Jiang Weixi entered the ward and immediately saw the tall figure standing by the window.

She also noticed a monk in a robe standing in the corner of the ward.

Ji Dongxun looked at her indifferently, his eyes as black as an ancient well, his gaze as cold and icy as frost.

Jiang Weixi paused for a moment, avoided his gaze, walked to Grandma Ji's bedside and sat down, holding her hand tightly.

Grandma Ji groggily opened her eyes: "Xixi, you're here."

"Grandma, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Grandma Ji coughed twice: "I don't know what's wrong with me, I suddenly feel weak all over."

The doctor performed several comprehensive examinations on her, and the final reply to Ji Dongxun was that there were no problems.

Grandma Ji's fever wouldn't go down, and she felt weak all over, showing no signs of improvement.

Finally, having no other choice, she insisted on inviting the abbot of Hulingshan Temple to come and take a look.

After the abbot entered, he calculated with his fingers and observed the faces of everyone in the ward. He said that Madam Ji had encountered some kind of evil spirit, and the quickest way to resolve it was to use a happy event to dispel it.

The abbot glanced at Ji Dongxun, then did some calculations and said that as long as he got married within a month, he could get rid of the evil spirit on the old lady.

Ji Dongxun naturally couldn't believe these words.

He strongly suspected that this was a new strategy his grandmother had come up with to force him into marriage.

Until Jiang Weixi appeared here, he was almost certain that this was a charade put on by his grandmother and this girl.

Ji Dongxun stood aside with his arms crossed, quietly watching their performance.

He waved for everyone to leave, intending to speak with his grandmother alone.

"Grandma, please don't joke about your own health like that."

Seeing that she had been exposed, Grandma Ji stopped pretending and sat up in bed.

I suddenly burst into tears.

"I just want to see you get married before I die, why can't I?"

This was the first time Ji Dongxun had ever seen his grandmother with tears streaming down her face, and he felt a pang of guilt.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I've caused you worry."

Since Grandma wants him to get married so badly...

Ji Dongxun assured his grandmother, "I will get married. I will bring a girl to meet you in a couple of days. Please don't play matchmaker and just find me any girl."

Grandma Ji stopped crying, though tears still clung to her face: "Really? What girl?"

"A..." Ji Dongxun paused for a moment, "...a girl I think is pretty good."

Grandma Ji looked at him suspiciously: "Is there such a person?"

Ji Dongxun said helplessly, "If I don't bring her back in a few days, you can tell me who I should marry, and I'll marry that person, okay?"

He just said it offhand.

Grandma Ji looked at him earnestly: "Then Grandma will wait for you to bring someone back. If you can't, then you'll marry Xixi, what do you say?"

"Okay." Ji Dongxun agreed verbally, but inwardly he wondered what kind of spell that woman had cast on his grandmother.

Anyway, he could never marry her.

No matter what she's planning, it will all come to nothing in the end.
