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

Back at the Ji residence.

It was lunchtime, and Tang Junyao asked Aunt Zhang if there was anything she wanted to eat. Aunt Zhang said she was a little tired and wanted to take a nap, so Tang Junyao didn't force her. Sudden illnesses require patients to have some time to recover.

Even Tang Junyao needed time to process this, and she started showing less concern for her godmother.

After escorting Aunt Zhang back to her room, Tang Junyao went downstairs. The smile on her face, which she had shown when she first entered the Ji residence and spoke to Aunt Zhang, was gone. The old man immediately saw the problem.

As she sat down on the sofa and stroked Xiaoyouzi's head, the old man, leaning on his cane, looked on with slight concern, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, is the result not so good?"

"Yes, Grandpa, it's alright. The biopsy has already been done, and the results should be available tomorrow." Getting the results in your own area will definitely be faster than elsewhere.

The old man sighed inwardly, thinking that the health of the elderly was the most important thing for his filial children. "Don't worry, let the brat figure out the problems he can't solve. Everything will be fine."

Tang Junyao knew that her grandfather was just saying that Ji Hancheng was actually thinking of him in every way, but he didn't want Ji Hancheng to be too proud, so he didn't dare to praise him. After all, the man was easily pleased.

Yuan Shu came in from outside and noticed that the atmosphere inside wasn't as cheerful and talkative as usual. She roughly understood the reason and asked her daughter-in-law, "Yaoyao, what kind of food do you need the kitchen to prepare?"

Tang Junyao felt a warmth in her heart. She turned around, truly hoping that everyone around her could be happy, healthy, and safe.

Whether you're rich or poor, the ultimate issue is health and safety. Without these two things, no matter how much money you have, it's useless if you have money but no life to enjoy it.

"Mom, ask the kitchen to make some plain porridge or millet porridge, it's easy to digest."

Yuan Shu responded, "Mm." She wasn't very good at offering comfort; all she could do was show concern through her actions.

"Thank you, Mom."

After dinner, Tang Junyao took the millet porridge that her mother-in-law had the kitchen cook to Zhang Sao's room again. When she opened the door, Zhang Sao was already up and had washed up. When she saw her goddaughter come in, she scolded, "Why did you bring this up? I can still move. It's not your place to serve me like this."

Aunt Zhang felt guilty, feeling that she hadn't been of much help and had only caused trouble. Yao Yao was already very busy, with three children, whom she took care of personally most of the time, while also going to work and caring about the development of the base.

Tang Junyao felt that this was what she should do. What's wrong with bringing some porridge? Her godmother risked her life to save Lele, so this little thing was incomparable. "I'm just sitting here anyway, so I might as well move around a bit, walk up and down the stairs. After you finish eating, take your medicine and you'll feel better."

Neither of them mentioned the biopsy, because both mother and daughter could guess that the result would be bad. Aunt Zhang picked up her bowl, took out her spoon, and started eating.

Tang Junyao tidied up the clothes that Aunt Zhang had changed out of, preparing to take them down to wash herself. She knew that Aunt Zhang preferred to wash her clothes by hand and didn't like having the maid help her.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly stopped her, "Leave it there, I'll wash it after I finish eating. You don't need to do it, I can still move around."

"There are only a few items. I also need to wash Lele's clothes, so I'll wash them at the same time. You eat first, and leave the bowls behind when you're done. I'll come back to collect them later."

Seeing Tang Junyao's stubbornness, Aunt Zhang had no choice but to give up. Tears welled up in her eyes, constantly glistening. What did she do to deserve having Yao Yao help her wash clothes?

Half an hour later, a man wearing a black down jacket walked in through the door and strode towards the living room. The old man saw his grandson return and called out to him, knowing that he was going to find his wife.

The first thing I do when I get home every day is look for milk.

The old man slammed his cane down on the ground with a deafening thud, "Stop!"

Eager to go upstairs, Ji Hancheng saw his son playing with the repaired airplane surrounded by Lego sets. "Grandpa, wait a minute, I'll go check on Yao Yao and the kids first. Was Lele well-behaved today?"

"Mmm, good boy." Little Yuzu was used to his father greeting him every day before going to find his mother, so he just responded faintly, adding an extra word.

Seeing that his grandson seemed deaf and continued preparing to go upstairs, the old man finally spoke when Ji Hancheng reached the top of the stairs. "The girl isn't upstairs; she's washing clothes. Going up won't help. I told you to stop, but she won't listen. She's as stubborn as a mule. Come here; I have something to tell you."

Ji Hancheng felt that his grandfather did it on purpose, but since he had no evidence, he couldn't say it even a minute earlier.

Helpless, Ji Hancheng came downstairs again and approached the sofa, but his toes were still pointing towards the door, clearly his mind wasn't on it. "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"It won't take up much of your time. If you had been this clingy to the girl two years earlier, would you be in this situation? You deserve it."

"Grandpa, can we put this behind us now? I already have three children, and you're still not satisfied. If you're still not satisfied, I won't have any more. Three at most."

The old man spoke with a tone of exasperation, "Do you mean I want you to keep having children? Even if you're willing, I wouldn't want the girl to suffer anymore. I'm talking about Aunt Zhang's situation. Yao Yao took her for a checkup today, and the results weren't good. You should try to persuade the girl to take it seriously. Aunt Zhang is family she's had since childhood. We're from another family, so she has a different meaning for her. And then there's Lele's situation..."

The old man didn't continue speaking, but the scene of his great-grandson's car accident was already in his mind. He sighed, glared at his grandson, and said, "Did you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng was stunned. Yao Yao hadn't mentioned this to him all day, and she must be feeling terrible right now. "I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Hancheng turned around and hurried to find Tang Junyao.

The old man reminded him again from the sofa, "In the laundry room."

Then he muttered to himself, "Now you know how to panic."

Tang Junyao was carefully washing Aunt Zhang's clothes, recalling every little thing that happened at the Tang residence. But she didn't shed tears; instead, she smiled as she thought about it, her lips curving into a smile. Why are good people always so sickly and unlucky?

She so desperately wanted everyone around her to be healthy, but why was such a simple request so difficult? She would gladly trade five years of her life for her godmother's health.

A deep voice came from behind, "What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

She didn't even need to turn around to know who it was; who else could it be but her husband? "No, I just suddenly remembered the days at the Tang residence. Why are you back so early today?"

Seeing that she was washing clothes by hand, Ji Hancheng wanted to stop her but didn't, because he realized that the clothes belonged to Aunt Zhang and could understand what Yao Yao was thinking at the moment. She probably wanted to seize every opportunity to show her filial piety. "I'll go get some hot water and help you."

Tang Junyao quickly wiped her wet hands on her apron, grabbed the man's arm, and said, "No need, it's almost done. It's alright, not too cold."

The man stopped and looked at her. She smiled gracefully. "It's really not cold. Try it if you don't believe me. Did Grandpa send you?"

"Hmm," he replied casually.

Grandpa must have told him about his godmother. "Hancheng, when you're free, come with me and take Grandpa for a full checkup. Grandpa's blood pressure has been a bit high lately."

She was washing, and he was with her, even rolling up his sleeves to help wring them out, but Tang Junyao stopped him. Ji Hancheng said, "Wasn't the checkup just at the end of the year?"

Tang Junyao held Aunt Zhang's clothes in her hands and answered in the most relaxed tone, "No, it's just that Grandpa is getting old, so more frequent checkups can help him find problems."

Yes, Tang Junyao was scared. She was afraid that something like this would happen again. She had experienced happiness and that warm atmosphere before, and she was greedy and didn't want it to be broken. She wanted to hold on to it tightly with all her might.

Ji Hancheng understood her thoughts perfectly well. He hugged her from behind, holding her tightly to give her a sense of security. "Don't be nervous, your godmother will be fine. If so many doctors can't solve this, they can all be fired. Why spend so much money to support her?"

Tang Junyao: ".............."

This person is so domineering, there's no reason why.

the next day.

As Tang Junyao had predicted, things did not turn out well. She went to the hospital early to get the test results, which showed that she had mid-stage stomach cancer. Several senior colleagues sat together and analyzed the case for several hours. Because she was the boss's mother, the senior colleagues were particularly attentive and concerned. In the end, they still recommended surgery.

The surgery will be performed by the most authoritative oncologist, but there is a requirement that Tang Junyao can observe the entire surgical process from outside, but cannot enter the operating room.

Tang Junyao understood this approach and agreed to it.

Back at the Ji residence, after discussing it with Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang was unusually cooperative in order not to cause trouble for Tang Junyao. She readily agreed without even asking about the specific details. She did whatever Yao Yao wanted to be checked, and she did whatever Yao Yao wanted to be operated on.

Tang Junyao was indeed relieved of a lot of trouble by her godmother's cooperation.

That evening, Tang Junyao sat in bed studying the surgery and post-operative care, reading very carefully.

Ji Hancheng, wearing his pajamas, glanced at the woman on the bed who was ignoring him. He could understand her current mood; she was completely focused on her godmother. Just as Grandpa had said, the godmother held a different kind of significance for Yao Yao.

He wasn't jealous. He changed his daughter's diaper, put his son to sleep, then lifted the covers and sat in bed with his head down to watch the video together. He put his arm around her shoulder, rubbing it gently, and said softly, "Let's watch together."

"You're like a clone! You're already handling everything for the kids, and now you have to watch this too. Can you manage?"

Mrs. Zhang is in good condition and has a good mindset. All her test results are within the range for surgery. With the approval of several senior colleagues, the surgery is scheduled for next Friday.

Ji Hancheng put his arm around her shoulder and said earnestly, "I've always had time for you."

That's not wrong; there's always been time for her, no matter when.

Tang Junyao: Once a man has figured it out, he can say sweet nothings without even thinking.
