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

After washing up, Ji Jiale went downstairs to have breakfast.

Tang Junyao turned and went to her room. Seeing that Ji Hancheng was still asleep, she tiptoed out, gently closed the door again, and went downstairs.

Ji Xinyu and Ji Xinhan had finished breakfast and were leisurely sitting on the sofa, scrolling through their phones and chatting.

Ji Hang and Yuan Shu were having dinner in the restaurant when their grandson came downstairs. They quickly put down their chopsticks and went to his side, asking worriedly, "Lele, how are you?"

Ji Hang carefully examined his grandson's face, waiting for his answer, his brows slightly furrowed.

Originally, Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng planned to keep this matter a secret from their parents-in-law, but things did not go as planned. Yuan Shu, who always went to bed early, suddenly came downstairs to get water last night and bumped into them.

Under Yuan Shu's repeated questioning, Tang Junyao briefly recounted the events to her mother-in-law.

Seeing that his grandparents were so nervous that they didn't even eat their breakfast, Ji Jiale reached out and helped the two elderly people towards the dining room, saying, "You're much better now, don't worry."

Ji Hang nodded, knowing that his grandson had simplified the matter and didn't want them to worry, so he didn't ask any further questions. "That's good. Take good care of yourself at home and don't go out recently. There's no rush to go back to work."

Yuan Shu agreed, her eyes still full of worry. She glanced at her grandson from head to toe, "Yes, your grandfather is right, there's no rush."

Ji Jiale: "Yeah, I've been staying home lately and not going out."

He won't go back on his promises.

Seeing that their grandson agreed, the two elders were relieved. Even Aunt Ji was worried and didn't sleep all night. Butler Ji got up several times during the night. It was Tang Junyao who comforted them and told them to go to sleep without worry.

As they were talking, Ji Xinhan suddenly spoke up, "Oh, where is my dear Grandma Ji?"

Tang Junyao found it strange that she didn't see the two busy figures when she came downstairs in the morning. After asking the other servants, she learned that they had gone to her grandfather's cemetery again, probably to ask him to bless the children with safety. "They went to your great-grandfather's grave."

Ji Hang muttered, "Uncle Ji's rheumatism has flared up recently, why is he still going out? I'll have a good talk with him when he gets back."

Yuan Shu: "Let them go. Even if you don't let them go, they still miss their parents and think that if they go, they can still say what's on their minds over there."

After breakfast.

Tang Junyao applied medicine to both children. Ji Hang had already retired, and now Ji Hancheng was managing the company's affairs; Ji Hang no longer went to the company.

Inside the study.

Yuan Shu was applying moxibustion to Ji Hang's legs. He was getting old, and the aftereffects of the car accident had started again. His legs would hurt terribly if he walked even a little.

Ji Xinyu, who had just finished applying the medicine, suddenly walked in. The door was not closed. Seeing that her grandmother was helping her grandfather with moxibustion, she wanted to help. She reached out to take the moxibustion device from her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, let me do it. You teach me how to do it."

Ji Hang stopped him, saying, "Let your grandma come. You're still injured. Grandpa's just an old ailment, so don't worry about him."

Yuan Shu didn't give the things in her hands to her granddaughter, but advised, "Go down and play with Hanhan. When you graduate, Grandpa will take care of his legs, and Grandma will retire."

"Alright then, I'll go down now."

Ji Hang looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead."

After the children left, Ji Hang couldn't help but sigh, "Yao Yao raised the children very well. Whether it's Xiaoyu, Hanhan, or Lele, none of them have any bad habits. Dad has a good eye for talent."

Yuan Shu: "I agree. You don't need to look at me like that. I didn't object."

Seeing her husband still staring at her with a meaningful smile on his lips, Yuan Shu continued, "I only misjudged him once. You've been holding a grudge against me for so many years, but Yao Yao never did. You really are something else."

Ji Hang laughed, "It's rare for you to make a mistake."

Yuan Shu glared at him, while her hands massaged Ji Hang's other leg.

In educating their children, Yuan Shu strongly agrees with her daughter-in-law's approach, leading by example and teaching by word and deed.

It is said that parents are the best teachers for their children, and Tang Junyao has proven this to be true. Her filial piety towards her parents-in-law has been seen by her children, as has her generosity towards Tang Junyan. Her responsibility towards her patients is evident to her children, and Ji Xinyu, influenced by her mother, also wants to be a selfless person and follow in her mother's footsteps.

She was very satisfied and gratified that all three children were outstanding.

Around 9 o'clock, Ji Hancheng got up.

Ji Hancheng, dressed neatly, slowly descended the stairs, still adjusting his cuffs and wearing a tie around his neck. When Tang Junyao saw him come down, she took the initiative to help him take off the tie from his neck. He cooperated by bending down, creating a heartwarming scene.

As Ji Jiale sat on the sofa watching this scene, a picture flashed through her mind, and she unconsciously curled her lips into a smile.

Ji Jiale's smile was caught by Ji Xinhan, who stood up and automatically interpreted it as, "Brother, are you starting to envy Mom and Dad's loving relationship?"

Tang Junyao straightened Ji Hancheng's tie and buttoned up his suit jacket. If it weren't for the child, Ji Hancheng would have given Yao Yao a kiss as a reward.

Ji Jiale glared at his sister, "Stop using your low emotional intelligence to interpret things so poorly."

Ji Xinyu was amused by her brother's words and shrugged with laughter. Her mother said that Hanhan was a bit like her father, which was low emotional intelligence. She always managed to perfectly miss the correct answer.

For example, when they saw a cat meowing while running, Ji Xinyu said it was in heat, while Ji Xinhan said it was probably just bored.

For example, when she saw young couples being affectionate on the street, Ji Xinhan said, "What's the point? Are they just there to watch or get attention?"

Ji Hancheng chimed in, "If you envy my relationship with your mother, then bring my daughter-in-law home sooner rather than later."

Upon hearing this, Tang Junyao quickly slapped Ji Hancheng's arm, giving him a warning look, "Let's go quickly."

Ji Xinyu, however, seized on a key point, her voice suddenly rising in surprise, "Brother, you have a girlfriend?"

What Dad just said wasn't about finding a girlfriend soon, but about bringing her home.

Ji Jiale pinched the bridge of his nose. His two younger sisters stared at him with their mouths agape, as if they had heard some explosive news, while their father, the culprit, smiled knowingly.

"No, it's just Dad's imagination."

"I knew it! How could that be? I've only been abroad for a short time. How could I not know my brother had a girlfriend? It scared me to death!"

Ji Xinhan, with an air of "I knew it," threw herself onto the sofa.

Ji Hancheng invited, "Hanhan, Daddy's gone to the company. If you're bored, come over and play at the company."

"OK." Ji Xinhan placed a cushion behind her head as a pillow, crossed her legs, and made an OK gesture, completely unlike a girl.

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

Ji Xinyu looked at her brother with suspicion, wanting to ask more questions, but the person at the door interrupted her, "Brother-in-law."

The visitors were Han Guoguo and Lan Yunxi. They had come to check on Ji Jiale and Xiaoyu after hearing that they were injured.

Ji Hancheng, who was in a hurry to get to the company, did not linger. He responded and walked out.

"Auntie, Aunt Guoguo!" the two children called out. Ji Xinhan sat up with a swift and skillful motion, her legs crossed, and she placed a cushion on her lap.

Ji Jiale also greeted people politely.

Ji Jiale tried her best to look away from her sister, otherwise she couldn't help but want to criticize her.

Han Guoguo: "When did Hanhan get back?"

Ji Xinhan patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Guoguo to sit down. "Isn't Auntie at work today?"

Han Guoguo: "I took a day off. I worked yesterday and am off today. How are you all? Are you seriously injured? Xiaoxue cried so hard last night, it scared me to death. My mother-in-law cried for a long time too. When my husband and I went there, we were terrified. I almost thought Xiaochen was gone. My mother-in-law, Xiaoxue, Yueyue, and Xiaochen's grandma were all crying. There were tissues all over the floor."

Everyone: "............." Is it really that exaggerated?

Tang Junyao: It's a good thing Lele kept her injuries a secret, otherwise they would all have come to the Ji residence crying.

After Guoguo described it, everyone's mind had basically reconstructed the scene from last night; it really did look a bit like a funeral.

Lan Yunxi sat down next to Ji Xinyu, wanting to check on her injuries. "Let your aunt see your injuries, how are they?"

Ji Xinyu grasped Lan Yunxi's hand, refusing, and said gently, "Auntie, it's okay, I'm almost healed. I wasn't seriously injured, just a few scrapes."

Lan Yunxi was skeptical. "Really?"

"Really, you can ask my mom if you don't believe me."

Lan Yunxi turned to look at her sister, Tang Junyao, who nodded. Xiaoyu's injury was indeed not serious. "Really, Xiaoyu's injury is not serious."

Ji Xinhan looked at this and that, puffing out her cheeks, flitting from side to side, having a great time and not getting bored at all. She tossed the pillow high and caught it, tossed it high and caught it again, repeating the cycle.

Guoguo: "What about Lele? Is she badly injured?"

Ji Jiale lied without batting an eye, "It's just a little scratch."

Lan Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Yue-ge only came back late last night. I had to ask him for a long time before he told me. He was trying to hide it from me." She had been worried all night.

The room was full of women, and Tang Junyao knew her son couldn't sit still, so she instructed, "Lele, go upstairs. I'll chat with your aunt and the others for a while."

"Okay, sure." After saying that, Ji Jiale stood up and took away the cushion that Ji Xinhan had tossed into the air as she passed by. It was an eyesore, and she could never sit still for a moment.

The cushion was taken away, and Ji Xinhan was unhappy. She turned to her brother and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ji Jiale ignored his sister and threw the pillow to Ji Xinyu. Ji Xinyu caught it, understood what her brother meant, and hugged it to her chest.

When Ji Jiale came upstairs, he didn't go to rest. Instead, he went to the study to practice calligraphy. Because of his injury, he lacked strength in his arm, so his writing was not good. After finishing one piece, he threw it in the trash can and then wrote another one.

Downstairs, they were chatting animatedly, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Around 10 o'clock, Su Xueshan arrived late. Before she even entered the house, her voice could be heard: "It's so lively here."

"Why are you here? Is Xiaochen feeling better?"

Han Guoguo asked, "You were crying your heart out last night, but today you have a rosy complexion and your mouth is stretched all the way to your ears."

Su Xue sat down next to Guo Guo, searching for Ji Jiale, and whispered, "How's my future son-in-law doing?"

Tang Junyao ignored her best friend's comment about her future son-in-law and replied with a smile, "He's resting upstairs, he's doing fine. Is Xiao Chen feeling any better?"

Su Xue shook her head and continued, "He's acting like a king now. Yueyue and my mom take turns serving him. People who don't know him think he's ascended the throne."

These words made Ji Xinhan laugh non-stop, laughing heartily, "Auntie, you're so funny, hahaha."

I couldn't stop laughing, I just couldn't stop.

Ji Xinyu laughed along and took out her phone to send Lu Qingchen a message: I heard you ascended the throne today.

Lu Qingchen, who was the family's greatest contributor, was completely baffled: ?

Ji Xinyu raised an eyebrow at Ji Xinhan, gesturing for her to look at her phone. Ji Xinyu's message was sent to the "Let Yourself Go" group.

Ji Xinhan glanced at her phone, her mouth agape, and a wide smile spread across her face as she replied: "Need me to choose a concubine for you?"
