CHAPTER 554

"I forgive you, grandfather. I never even held a grudge against you. I love you. And I know mother and father would never hold a grudge against you too. I forgive you."

"Thanks my darling. Thank you, truly. I hope I can forgive myself too because seeing you hurt like this. It is already heartbreaking enough and painful."

"Do not be naughty, grandfather. I love you. My pain is not your fault. So do not blame yourself over that, ever again. Come here."

She hugged him again and this time, rather than him, she was the one patting his back lightly.

After a while of both of them crying their eyes out, they finally stopped with each having their eyes blurry and red.

"Hahaha look at you. You have puffy eyes," Lin Zian teased.

"And so do you, gramps."

"Tah. I am okay. You cried more. I bet Ye Cheng would spot this from a mile away. You know how your husband is."

"I know. And that is why we must not cry anymore. Lucky me, the time is only just 1:30 pm. So I have good three hours to get my eyes back to normal or return home on time and nap. So when he returns, he would think I was sleeping."

"Look at this naughty girl hiding things from her hubby."

"Tsk, if I were the one, I would still catch you. Now it all boils down to how well he knows you to know the difference between the crying eyes of Li Jing and the just waking up eyes. Mind you, after such a cry, your eyes won't look good when you wake up."

"Sigh! He is definitely going to catch me with those keen eyes of his right?"

"Yes. If he does not today, and that would be due to some busy schedule and all, he would definitely catch you when you both wake up on the same bed tomorrow morning."

"b.u.mmer. Aren't I the unlucky one here?"

"Hahhaha hahaha…" he chuckled loudly at her remark.

Well, what could he say? She was indeed the unlucky one being the fact that Lin Huilang had returned home to her family and would not be there to be nosy towards him.

So in all, he had no one to checkmate him.

"You are bullying me."

"How so?"

"You know, you are trying to intimidate me with the fact that I have someone to checkmate me."

"No silly. You are the one bullying me now."

"How?"

"I wish I had that special someone who knows me in and out to checkmate me but I do not. You have your husband, my wife is dead and my daughter, lost. So I am lonely."

"No, you have me."

"How would you checkmate me when we both cried together. Naughty girl, I should be the one checkmating you," he pointed out.

"Fine. We both checkmate each other. How about that?"

"Okay with me. So no more crying, darling."

"No more," Li Jing agreed.

"Pinky promise?"

"What are you? Five or something?" she teased and poked him on the stomach.

"Only if my granddaughter says so."

"Get away old man. Fine pinky promise." They both did the fingers crossing and smiled.

"Now, what next," Lin Zian asked out of the blue.

"What next, my search for mother continues. Right now there is a probability and a possibility that she is alive and cannot throw away whatever slim chance I get. No matter what."

"No, we won't. But then why didn't I ever get this close when I did my own investigation back then? At least mine was fresh and yours it's been what twenty years plus, yet you got something."

"Because gramps, I failed to tell you this earlier but auntie stopped it."

"Wait what? You mean Huilang prevented my investigation?"

"Oh no>" she shook her head and hands. "Not auntie Huilang."

"Who? Do not tell me it is…"

"I am afraid yes, you are right. Hu Qi and Lin Xuilan were the ones covering up all your investigation back then."

"WHAT! HOW DARE THEY!" He hollered.

"They also encouraged her to escape and with her out of the way, you had no heir to give your wealth to but them and your nephew. So it was rightly planned. Good thing you found me when you did and I stopped a lot of things."

"Oh my G.o.d. I never knew all this."

"Well, you trusted your family too much and they are the ones who hurt us the most but Uncle Lin Jie saw through all auntie Hu Qi's scheme, especially her coveting my necklace that you bestowed on your wife, my grandmother."

"So that was where the hatred came from. She was not the first child but the third. What was she expecting?"

"That as the only female she got the family heirloom."

"b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l. HU QI!"

He vibrated on the sofa. He wished he could just beat her up or do something to her but she was too far away and she was his sister.

"They would pay," he let out finally.

"Oh, they must and they have started. I have warned them not to covet your company or try to play smart with me again or the next time, I would actually forget they are family and ruin them."

A dark glint shone in her eyes at that minute but she was not done and she did not care if her grandfather saw her that way but his reaction next left her stunned.

"Hahaha, that's my girl. I like that. Never allow anyone to trample on you. I would inform Ln Liqin. He would best deal and handle Xuilan."

Li Jing nodded in understanding. "Hu Qi?"

"As for Hu Qi or Lin Qi, she better just a.s.sume Hu Qi, so I can forget she is my sister for a moment and deal with her."

"I see where I got it from."

"Yes.. Sometimes, it is best to teach them a lesson so that there would not be the next time."
