Leaving the big spectrum! After three years, Mr. Ji is too good at flirting

Chapter 138 The old lady had no choice but to agree to her

This meal was also extremely comfortable.

The old lady doesn't have any rules here that require people not to talk while eating or sleeping.

"Grandma, I plan to take Ji Xuanming to see mom tomorrow."

The old lady paused for a moment holding the bowl, but then did not object.

"It's time to go and see."

“But I don’t know what to prepare.”

It was indeed Mu Jin's first time, but she didn't want to neglect her mother, especially when taking Ji Xuanming with her.

"Go early tomorrow, and I'll prepare everything for you."

The old lady put down the bowl in her hand and sighed deeply.

She looked at the photo frame over there. In fact, she hadn't been to the mountain for a long time.

She didn't go to see her daughter off when she was buried. It was inappropriate for an elder to see off a younger person, so to be honest, the old lady didn't even know where her daughter's grave was.

"Take it."

The old lady lost interest in continuing to eat and only took a few bites. Although three years had passed, it was still a thorn in her heart.

After Mu Jin cleaned up the table, she came out and saw the old lady standing alone in the yard, not knowing what she was looking at.

"Grandma." Mu Jin ran towards the old lady and took her arm.

Ji Xuanming stood behind her, watching them quietly.

"Xiao Jin, do you still remember this tree?"

How could Mu Jin not remember that this osmanthus tree had been here since she was born? It was said that it was planted shortly after her mother was born.

"This tree has lived longer than your mother. When it was planted, it was always withered and yellow. Who knew it would grow into what it is now?"

The old lady touched the osmanthus tree and sighed.

"When you were little, you were naughty and always climbed up trees. I was afraid you would fall, so I always coaxed you. Your mother never spoiled you, but she never hit you either."

Mu Jin's memory was pulled back to that time.

This person has been naughty since childhood and doesn't look like a girl at all.

She followed the others who were still climbing the tree, but she never played tricks outside. She always destroyed her own things. No one knew how many times she had destroyed this osmanthus tree.

Even in autumn, the hibiscus would shake its branches under the tree. If she was not in the mood, she would climb up the tree to pick them. The old lady always doted on her, so it was just some osmanthus flowers that fell, which was naturally no big deal.

But her mother was always scolding her, but she was afraid that she would roll down accidentally. Although she was angry at her for not fighting, she was still worried in her heart.

She had been naughty for many years but had never been spanked.

My mother always has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Your mother loves you."

How could Hibiscus not know this!

She always knew that her mother loved her, although she felt that her mother loved her more, but from childhood to adulthood, she had everything she wanted.

The old lady doted on her, her mother loved her, and even the neighbors from miles around thought she was cute. When they passed by her on the way home from school, they would give her something from time to time.

Even if some people gossip about her behind her back and say she is a fatherless child, so what? She has someone who loves her.

"grandmother."

Mu Jin hugged the old lady and cried in her arms.

For three years, she had been holding herself back from recalling those things, but the memory was like a door had been opened and she couldn't hold it back.

"You, child, have suffered a lot these years."

How could the old lady not know Mu Jin's personality? She was too strong-willed and put too much pressure on herself. She always habitually took on everything by herself. When something happened, her first reaction was to solve it herself and she didn't like to trouble others.

So, when she saw that Ji Xuanming could make Mu Jin easily rely on him, she was happy but also worried.

She was afraid that they would not be able to reach that day. If they were separated in the future, it would be a fatal blow to Mu Jin.

But these were just her worries in her heart. She naturally hoped that the two children could have a happy ending.

"Okay, kid, you're no longer old, but you still like to act like a spoiled brat and cry."

Mu Jin didn't know when her tears started to fall, but she really couldn't hold them back.

She came out of the old lady's arms and turned to look at the osmanthus tree.

Autumn is coming soon.

The moment she looked up, she seemed to see herself sitting on the branch above again, and her mother was coming down and pointing at her, telling her to get down quickly, but how could she listen at that time?

Hibiscus suddenly thought of something and began to search around the osmanthus tree.

After walking around for several times, she couldn't find the trace. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

"What are you looking for?"

"I remember one time, I was clamoring for a swing."

When the old lady heard her say this, she immediately understood what Mu Jin was looking for.

She took Mu Jin's hand, led her to the other side, and pointed somewhere.

"Here."

It was strange. I walked past it so many times but didn’t see it. Then the old lady came over and pointed it, and I could see the hibiscus clearly.

That year, Mu Jin was playing at someone else's house and saw that person's father made a swing for someone in the yard. When she got home, Mu Jin started clamoring for it.

The old lady had no choice but to agree to her request.

But in the end, it was the mother who did it. Unfortunately, the swing didn't last long.

The marks on the branches are still there, but even though Hibiscus has grown up now, she can never reach them.

Ji Xuanming was watching their interaction from a distance. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Mu Jin reminiscing about the past with the old lady at this time. He just felt sorry for his little girl.

I also regret that I wasn't by her side when those things happened. If I had met her earlier, maybe...

Mu Jin naturally didn't know what Ji Xuanming was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely tell Ji Xuanming in an unromantic way that if they had met too early, they might not be like this now.

"Okay, go pack up and I'll take you shopping."

The old lady patted Mu Jin on the back, smiled and tapped her face. Mu Jin went back to her room and prepared to wash her face.

Mu Jin felt a little embarrassed when passing by Ji Xuanming.

The old lady watched people come into the house and slowly walked towards Ji Xuanming. He naturally knew that the old lady had deliberately sent Mu Jin away, and she must have something to say to him.

Ji Xuanming helped the old lady sit aside.

"Xiao Ji, I can actually feel your feelings for that girl."

The old lady really loves her granddaughter.

"Actually, I don't know how many years I have left to live. I just want to see Xiao Jin happy. She's suffered so much these past few years, and luckily she has you now. To be frank, I don't know how long you two can go on together, but since she wants to introduce you to her mother, she must have considered your future."

In fact, the old lady didn't want to say these words, and it wasn't her place to say them, but now she was the only one who could speak.

"Grandma, I understand everything."

Ji Xuanming didn't say anything and didn't make any promises. He always believed that actions are more important than words.
