Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

When Tang Junyao returned after finishing her business, Su Xue was still not up.

The breakfast on the table remained untouched, and the door was tightly shut.

There's no doubt they're still dreaming.

About 50 minutes later, Su Xue, wearing loose pajamas with the collar askew, dragging her slippers, scratched her messy curly hair and forced her sleepy eyes open. "Why are you up so early?"

He glanced at Yao Yao's clothes and then asked, "Have you been out?"

Tang Junyao looked down at the project proposal and layoff plan that Lin Yuan had just sent her. "Well, I went to open a safe, and I also went to visit my grandparents and my mother."

After my mother passed away, my maternal grandparents were very sad and wanted to bring her back to the Chiang family. They asked my paternal grandfather to bury her in the Chiang family cemetery, and my grandfather agreed.

Su Xue scratched her head again. "Okay, what are you looking at?"

"Manager Lin sent out the proposal. Go wash your face and eat something first."

Su Xue: "I'm not dirty, I'll wash later."

Tang Junyao stopped what she was doing, looked up at Su Xue's pajamas, and said, "The collar is crooked. Even if you're not hungry, you still need to eat. After you finish eating, help me take a look."

Upon hearing about the baby in her belly, Su Xue obediently went to wash up and eat breakfast. However, after washing up, she took the breakfast to Yao Yao's side, holding the breakfast in one hand and reading some documents in the other.

He couldn't help but praise, "This professional manager is amazing. He's only in the third year of junior high and he's already working so hard. It's true that outstanding people are always working hard in secret. There's no such thing as soaring to the sky overnight. They all work hard quietly and amaze everyone in the end."

Tang Junyao completely agreed with this point; it was indeed true.

When you're successful and in a position of power, even the most trivial thing you say will seem reasonable to others. But when you're in a slump, no matter how reasonable your words are, they'll sound like nonsense to others.

That's just how people are. Not everyone cares how you succeeded, and not everyone can empathize with your situation. They often only see the surface.

Don't complain that anyone doesn't understand you, because human joys and sorrows are not shared. Experiences and encounters are all different, so how can you expect others to understand your difficulties? That's just wishful thinking.

Tang Junyao agreed with the plan Lin Yuan sent her, replied with a few words, and then put the documents away.

Time passed day by day, and before they knew it, it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Su Yu arrived at Yixinyuan very early that day. Since becoming pregnant, Su Yu had not been to this community.

Compared to the last time they met, he had lost a lot of weight and looked rather listless. Tang Junyao asked with some concern, "Brother Su Yu, are you feeling unwell? You seem to have lost weight."

Hearing this, Su Yu laughed instead, and then lied, "It's nothing, I've probably been busy with work lately. I'll go catch up on some sleep after I drop you off."

Su Xue pushed out three large suitcases, and Tang Junyao brought out two; they had quite a lot of stuff.

Qin Kai put the suitcase into the van. As wise as Qin Kai was, he had brought a van to pick them up today.

Arrived at the airport.

Several doctors from the Imperial Capital Hospital had already arrived and greeted Tang Junyao and her group warmly.

Qin Kai checked all his luggage in and then wisely went to wait in the car.

Su Yu glanced at the time; there were still 45 minutes left. He put down his watch and began to patiently explain, "Do you want me to take you to Country A?" Su Yu was a little worried about all this luggage.

Tang Junyao was still wearing a down jacket that covered her ankles, which made Su Yu's heart ache, because the details showed how much she cared about the child.

Tang Junyao smiled and said, "No need. There are several other colleagues here. We can't always be protected by you. Our little sister has to grow up too."

Su Yu silently thought to himself: Sister, yes, sister.

A strong, powerful voice interrupted their conversation and Su Yu's thoughts, "Little girl, Grandpa has come to see you off. Luckily, you're not late."

With the butler following behind, Old Master Ji's steady gait made it impossible to guess his real age.

Not only was Tang Junyao taken aback, but she also never expected that Grandpa Ji would come to see her off in person. However, Tang Junyao quickly walked over and said, "Grandpa Ji, what brings you here?"

Grandpa Ji thought the child was too considerate, calling him "Grandpa Ji" all the time. "Grandpa's here to see you off. If you need anything over there, please call Grandpa, okay? You're still Grandpa's granddaughter."

Tang Junyao was deeply moved, a part of her heart touched that such an elderly man had come to see her off in person. "I understand, thank you, Grandpa Ji."

Grandpa Ji's eyes were full of reluctance. "Silly child, you are my granddaughter. How could a granddaughter not love his granddaughter? You must take good care of yourself when you're away from home, you know? You can't skimp on money."

After saying that, he stuffed a card into her hand, held her little hand down, and said, "Grandpa didn't buy you anything, and I don't know what little girls like you need these days. Keep this for you in case you need it. You can't give it back to Grandpa, otherwise it means you're disliking me and cutting ties with me."

Tang Junyao held the burning hot card, torn between returning it and not returning it, and Su Xue also found it difficult to make a decision.

Su Yu was astonished when he saw that Old Master Ji called Tang Junyao. This was the famous Old Master Ji. Why was he so kind and caring towards Yao Yao, even giving her a credit card and seeing her off at the airport?

His gaze lingered on Su Xue, and he felt that the two of them were hiding something from him. Su Xue felt uneasy under his gaze and looked down at her feet, shuffling them absently.

He looked just like a child who had made a mistake and was trying to hide it, which only confirmed that he had guessed correctly.

After much consideration, Tang Junyao still felt she couldn't accept the card. She leaned close to Grandpa Ji's ear and whispered, "Grandpa, please keep this card for me. I still have a lot of money. You can't tell anyone. If you give it to me again, I'm afraid it won't be safe for me outside, and someone might have designs on it."

Grandpa Ji smiled. He knew perfectly well that this girl was using different ways to refuse. Not wanting to put her in a difficult position, he finally agreed. "Okay, then Grandpa will keep it for you. If you run out of money, just call Grandpa. Grandpa may not have much else, but he has plenty of money."

Su Xue chuckled, "Grandpa Ji, you look like a domineering CEO right now."

Grandpa Ji was amused by this remark. "Does it look like him? Haha, I think it does too. If I were ten or more years younger, my brat wouldn't stand a chance."

At this moment, Tang Junyao was certain that this mysterious self-confidence was hereditary.

Before we knew it, we were talking about boarding time.

The two said goodbye again, waving goodbye.

Su Yu stared blankly at their retreating figures, wondering if this was truly their last farewell.

Grandpa Ji, leaning on his cane, had tears welling up in his eyes, cursing his good-for-nothing grandson a thousand times in his heart.

The butler glanced at the young master of the Su family beside him, then bowed to Old Master Ji and said, "Master, don't be sad. The young mistress is just going to study, which is a good thing."

Although the voice was very soft, Su Yu still heard the words "young mistress". His body involuntarily staggered, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by a hand, the pain was suffocating and extended to every bone.

The Su family and the Ji family didn't have much interaction. If there was any interaction, it was in competition. So, Old Master Ji didn't greet him and just nodded when he left.

Su Yu returned to the car in a daze. He had already guessed that if Yao Yao was the young mistress, then her husband would not be Ji Mingyuan, but Ji Hancheng. Otherwise, Old Master Ji would not have attached so much importance to her, to the point that he personally came to see her off at the airport.

But what does Yao Yao mean by saying the child has nothing to do with Ji Hancheng? And Ji Hancheng didn't come to see her off at the airport today. Shouldn't a husband come to see his wife off in person? And what about the child?

So many questions lingered. How much had these two girls been hiding from him? And what had he missed out on?

As Grandpa Ji walked out of the airport, he saw a familiar Maybach. A disdainful smile appeared on his lips as he walked steadily forward, tapping on the car window with his cane.

Ji Hancheng, a little embarrassed, rolled down the car window and said, "Ahem... Grandpa."

Grandpa Ji deliberately asked, "Are you coming to see the client or seeing them off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"

Ji Hancheng's face was cold and stern, and he pursed his lips without speaking, clearly unable to answer.

Grandpa Ji was exasperated. "If you had a mouth, you wouldn't be sitting here now. Sigh, you're terminally ill. You should sit and bask in the sun. The weather is quite nice today, perfect for you to clear your head. I won't keep you company."

Ji Hancheng: "........."

Once in the car, Old Master Ji sat in the back seat and said to the butler with a smile, "You little rascal, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

The butler chuckled sheepishly, but the old man saw through his words. "Hehe, Young Master Su is a smart man."

Grandpa Ji shook his head. "You are the most shrewd of all, but our emperor isn't worried while the eunuchs are. He's as steady as Mount Tai, unmovable. He's sitting here with his backside firmly in place."
