To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

"I'm here." Shen Pingting was right next to her. When she heard Fan Changxi calling her, she quickly walked over and knelt on one knee.

"Pingting, your aunt has a request that you don't want to ask." Fan Changxi's eyes were gentle. Although her face was pale, she tried hard to curl the corners of her mouth. Her reluctant look was like a thin needle, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

It was hard for Shen Pingting not to be moved. She unconsciously slowed down her voice to make it sound less cold. "I'm listening. Go ahead."

Fan Changxi gently held Shen Pingting's hand, "Tingting, you are a good girl, I really like you, and more importantly, Liangchuan really likes you.

"My son has been spoiled by me since he was young. He has low emotional intelligence and his words and actions are so unpleasant. But even with so many shortcomings, his merits are still not enough to outweigh his flaws.

"I know it's wrong to use my impending death to blackmail you, but as a mother, I just want my son to be happy. So, can you promise your aunt to marry Liangchuan and give Xiaochuan a complete family?"

Shen Pingting's eyes tightened. She didn't expect Fan Changxi to make such a request. She frowned subconsciously, "Hug..."

Ji Liangchuan quickly took over the conversation, "Mom, I told Pingting that I have already confessed to her today."

"You confessed, but did they promise you?" Fan Changxi knew her son too well. She had just a bad temper and a mouth that could not speak. If she hadn't been good-looking, she would have been beaten by girls.

There is no mother who doesn't want her child to be happy. She hopes to help her son before she dies.

Ji Liangchuan's body was stiff. His mother's life was in danger, and he didn't want to think about such things.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a burst of running came from the corridor, followed by Xiaochuan's impatient shouting, "Grandma, grandma."

Fan Changxi had been so weak from what she had just said that she could barely open her eyes. However, upon hearing her grandson's voice, she perked up immediately. She struggled to sit up, but Ji Liangchuan gently held her down, "Mom, don't move."

Xiaochuan ran over and saw Fan Changxi's pale face. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? You must have been naughty and not eating well. Grandma, you have to eat well so you have strength. You can't dislike everything. You're so old, why are you still picky about food?"

Fan Changxi couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes as she listened to her grandson lecturing her like a little adult.

What a great grandson! If possible, she would like to spend more time with her grandson, watching Xiaochuan grow up, become handsome, and marry the girl he likes. It’s a pity that she doesn’t have much time left.

"Baby, come here, let grandma touch you. I miss you so much when I don't see you for just one day." Fan Changxi's voice was choked with sobs, and her skinny hands were shaking constantly. It was because she was emotionally excited, but also because her body had no extra strength to support her movements.

Taking advantage of this time, Ji Liangchuan pulled Shen Pingting out of the ward and expressed the hope that Shen Pingting could cooperate with him and pretend to agree to her mother's last wish.

"Are you sure you're just acting?" Shen Pingting frowned and looked at him.

Ji Liangchuan's eyes were blazing, "Of course I hope this isn't just an act. I really want to make it real, but if I do that, you'll definitely hate me.

"It's come to this, I might as well make it clear. I mean every word I say today. I won't pretend anymore. I just want to tell you that I like you from the bottom of my heart. Although I don't know why it's like this, I like you. I can't control my feelings for you.

"Of course, today's occasion isn't right. I'll explain this to you again later."

Shen Pingting pursed her lips. Needless to say, for someone like Ji Liangchuan to put aside his pride and say such words, how could he be insincere?

She was silent for just two seconds and then nodded, "Okay, I agree."

Ji Liangchuan's eyes moistened, "Pingting, thank you."

Although she doesn't like him, she is still willing to act with him to fulfill her mother's last wish. She is kind at heart.

Shen Pingting frowned. What was there to thank him for? He had confessed his feelings seriously, and she decided to respond directly. Why bother thanking him for something that was consensual?

"Liangchuan!" Fu Nanzhou urged, Fan Changxi seemed to be unable to hold on.

Ji Liangchuan quickly pulled Shen Pingting into the ward, "Mom! Mom! Pingting promised me, she promised to marry me!"

Fan Changxi's dazed eyes suddenly lit up for a moment, "Really?!"

Shen Pingting nodded.

"Then...then can you...can you call me mom?" Fan Changxi said this intermittently.

Ji Liangchuan couldn't control his tears, "Mom, don't worry, just wait for her to change her mind at the wedding."

Fan Changxi smiled. How could she not be anxious? She couldn't wait for the wedding, couldn't wait to hear her daughter-in-law call her "Mom".

But she didn't even have the strength to say these words.

"Mom! Mom!" Ji Liangchuan cried out loudly.

But Fan Changxi couldn't respond. She only felt that her son's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away, as if the Black and White Impermanence were pushing her away from this world.

"mom!"

A cold female voice echoed in her ears, and Fan Changxi paused. Was it the voice of her future daughter-in-law?

"Mom." Shen Pingting spoke again.

Fan Changxi said softly, "Eh."

That's enough, that's enough.

She was really too tired and in too much pain to bear to see her husband, so she just left.

Fan Changxi closed her eyes completely and passed away.

Heart-wrenching cries filled the ward. Xiaochuan held Fan Changxi tightly and cried for his grandmother to open her eyes.

But Fan Changxi will never wake up.

Ji Chengli and Ji Hongzhuo took the earliest flight, but still didn't have time to see Fan Changxi for the last time.

Unlike his son and grandson, Ji Chengli was unusually calm. It wasn't because he wasn't upset, but because he felt his wife was finally relieved.

Pancreatic cancer is the king of cancers. Even though the Ji family has the best medical team and uses the best medicine, his wife still suffers from the disease every day, which makes him feel distressed.

Now, finally free.

Ji Chengli was sitting next to her, holding Fan Changxi's hand, and whispered, "Go with peace of mind. I'm here for your family, and I'm here for your grandchildren. When they don't need me anymore, I'll come find you and keep you company. Don't worry, okay?"

Looking at his wife's gaunt face, Ji Chengli tried hard to suppress the pain in his heart that felt like a knife cutting.

Once upon a time, my wife was a very beautiful woman, and even in her middle age, she was still wealthy and powerful.

But since he got cancer, he seems like a different person, and now he has been tortured beyond recognition.

Ji Hongzhuo was also upset, but after all, he was already at this age, half buried in the ground, and had long since become indifferent to life and death.

"Liangchuan, go prepare for your mother's funeral. Your mother doesn't like noise, so let her go quietly."

The Ji family did not want to hold a grand ceremony, and this was also the consensus reached when Fan Changxi was alive.

Ji Liangchuan nodded, "Okay."

That night, Ji Liangchuan found a car and sent Fan Changxi back to Jiangcheng. In addition to the people from the Ji family, Shen Pingting also accompanied them as his daughter-in-law.
