A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Grandpa Jiang looked incredulous; he had never told him, nor allowed anyone else to mention his daughter.

His youngest daughter died in a car accident without warning after getting engaged to the third son of the Chi family. How could there not be a conspiracy involved?

He was afraid; he was afraid his granddaughter would suffer the same fate. He wanted to stop her, but all of this seems like a joke now.

He gave Jiang Yi shares in the Jiang family business, partly to guard against Jiang Guoqing. Jiang Yi was the cleanest kid, and the shares were safe in her possession.

He just needs to wait until she grows up, then he will erase her records in Xi'an and let her officially settle in New Zealand, living the most carefree life.

As for the shares, he will hand them over to Jiang Yang, and the Jiang family business will also be handed over to him. Clearly, everything is slowly changing.

“Grandpa, now that you’ve given me the shares, I have a responsibility to protect them. I will hand them over to my brother completely and will not let your hard work go to waste.”

Jiang Yi turned to look at Jiang Yang. As long as she made it public, the shares of Chi's Group would naturally be hers. With the double shareholding, she would have the absolute capital to stand behind her brother and protect the Jiang Group together.

"So you knew everything!" Grandpa Jiang smiled with a hint of satisfaction.

"Grandpa, when do you plan to go public?"

Jiang Yang began planning to give Jiang Yi a perfect entrance, which required a formal occasion.

"Xiao Yi, Grandpa's promise to you remains unchanged. You will return to New Zealand tomorrow, and a formal homecoming banquet will be held for you."

Over the years, he was afraid that Jiang Yi would repeat the same mistake. He said it was for protection, but he just wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to protect his daughter. He selfishly thought that all of this was for their own good.

"Xiao Yang, reveal Xiao Yi's identity tomorrow."

“Okay.” Jiang Yi did not object. This time, she was willing to return to New Zealand.

"Grandpa, you should rest well. I'm going back to the company now."

Jiang Yang glanced at the time; he also needed to prepare the copy and contact public relations.

"Brother, you should go to the company quickly." Jiang Yi told Jiang Yang not to stay with him, as Youjun would be fine with him watching over.

Grandpa Jiang had just woken up and was still feeling a bit weak. He had just managed to talk to them with great effort, but now he was feeling sleepy. Jiang Yi helped Grandpa lie down and tucked him in.

Jiang Yi quietly sat down on the sofa after drawing the curtains halfway closed.

Jiang Yang didn't refuse, saying he would come back in the evening. He was indeed busy; he wanted Jiang Yi's information to be on the front page first thing tomorrow morning.

Jiang Yi looked at Grandpa Jiang, and occasionally heard him snoring. She felt relieved and began to think.

This night brought things forward, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Cui Xiuling couldn't stay at home and was worried about Grandpa Jiang, so she came over quickly. Jiang was flipping through a magazine and, afraid of waking the old man, called out softly.

"Xiaoyi."

"Mom, why are you here?"

Jiang Yi got up and left. The two of them stood in the corridor. Cui Xiuling looked at the sky, her eyes gradually focusing.

Did Grandpa agree?

"Ah."

Cui Xiuling knew everything about Jiang Yi's return to China. Jiang Yi was also the first to confess to her mother that she liked Chi Ruiche, even though her mother didn't believe her. She still chose to stand up for her.

"Mom is sorry for not stopping your grandfather from the beginning."

Cui Xiuling respects her grandfather, and of course she also hopes that her daughter can grow up healthy and safe.

"Mom, I know, you don't need to say anything. I've never complained about you. On the contrary, I was willful and thought about breaking away from your protection."

Jiang Yi doesn't blame anyone; they were all just trying to protect themselves.

"Mom apologizes to you not only because of this one thing, but also because Mom selfishly thought your father hated girls. I wanted to keep your father and ensure the integrity of the marriage. I was afraid of becoming a laughing stock in Xijing, and my pride wouldn't allow it."

"Even if he injects you with drugs time and time again, I will ignore it."

Choi Soo-ryung covered her face and wept bitterly. She could have stopped it, time and time again. She was the devil.

Upon hearing this, Jiang didn't say anything. She reached out and hugged her mother, wanting to let her know that she was okay, that the past was over, and that she shouldn't overthink things.

"Little Yi."

Cui Xiuling looked at her daughter. In front of outsiders, they acted as if they doted on her, but only they knew that their love had been given to Jiang Yang, but never to Jiang Yi.

Even when she was sick, her first words were always blaming, blaming Jiang Yi for getting sick, even though she hadn't done anything wrong, even though she was still so young.

"It's okay, it's really okay."

Jiang Yi didn't know if she was talking to Cui Xiuling or to herself. Can the trauma of childhood really be so easily erased?

"Mom, I'm going back to New Zealand in a couple of days. Please take care of yourself." Jiang Yi hoped that her mother wouldn't live too hard.

"Didn't Grandpa agree? Why do we need to go back?" Cui Xiuling asked, puzzled.

"I haven't finished my studies yet, I'll come back after I graduate."

Jiang Yi comforted her, but she didn't mention a specific time. She also planned to finish it as soon as possible.

"Take care of yourself."

While Jiang Yi was away from the country, Cui Xiuling planned to work with Jiang Yang to reorganize the company, so that when Jiang Yi returned, the Jiang family would be clean.

"it is good."
