Yang Jingyi was right. Although Yang Junying didnât care much about his daughter, he still had to look for Yang Jingyi for retirement if he had no one to rely on.
Now that he had a new family, at least he had someone to rely on in his old age.
Ji Yuanyuan sent Yang Jingyi home. When she got home, it was already midnight.
The whole family had already fallen asleep. Qin Mucheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her.
When she left, Tangtang had just fallen asleep and was still not in a deep sleep.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not ask Qin Mucheng to send her off. Instead, she asked him to stay behind to look after Tangtang.
She thought that she would be back soon, but who would have thought that she would end up at the police station?
âIâm sorry. Have you waited long? Jingyi called the police and we were delayed at the police station.â Ji Yuanyuan changed her shoes and quickly stepped forward. She was a little embarrassed.
Qin Mucheng quickly reached out to hold Ji Yuanyuanâs hand and rubbed it gently. âAre you cold?â
âNo.â Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone in her pocket vibrated twice.
Ji Yuanyuan took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from Ji Zixuan. âI sent Xi Xinâan home.â
Ji Yuanyuan replied with an OK emoji and put the phone back into her pocket.
Qin Mucheng saw this and said in a low voice, âYouâre a busy man now. After youâre done with Gu Zhiyan, youâll be busy with Yang Jingyi.â
Ji Yuanyuan sniffed and teased him on purpose. ââDo you feel neglected?â
âA little.â Qin Mucheng pursed his lips and did not hide anything.
âTsk, petty. Iâm not like this every day. I rush home after work every day. I donât even go shopping when Cao Xiaorui asks me out.â
Qin Mucheng could not help but laugh. He held Ji Yuanyuanâs hand in his. âHurry up. You still have to go to work tomorrow.â
Ji Yuanyuan quietly followed Qin Mucheng upstairs.
Perhaps Yang Jingyiâs determination made Xi Xinâan give up. After that day, he never appeared in front of Yang Jingyi again.
Furthermore, Ji Yuanyuan did not hear the name Xi Xinâan from Ji Zixuan for a long time after that.
In the following days, Ji Yuanyuan continued to move around in various departments and did her internship.
For some reason, the closer it was to the end of the year, the busier the department became.
Tangtangâs kindergarten was on holiday. She waited at home every day for Ji Yuanyuan to come home early to accompany her. However, Ji Yuanyuan came home later and later every day.
It was not until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month that Ji Yuanyuan finally had her annual leave that she was able to go home early to have a good dinner with Tangtang.
Halfway through the meal, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly received a call from Li Xu.
âAre you off work?â Li Xuâs voice sounded a little anxious.
âI am. I am eating at home? Whatâs wrong?â Ji Yuanyuan asked in surprise.
âYour grandmother fell at home and is now in the hospital. Hurry up and pack up. We have to go back to our hometown.â Li Xu hurriedly said.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and felt a slight pain in her heart.
From the sound of it, Grandma⦠canât hold on anymore?
After hanging up the phone, she put down her chopsticks in a panic and got up to go upstairs.
âWhatâs wrong?â Qin Mucheng pulled her back. ââWhat happened?â
âMy grandmother fell and is in the hospital. I have to go back. Iâll go up and get my ID card and bank card.â Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
âIâll go with you later.â Qin Mucheng frowned.
Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses and quickly said, âDonât go. Itâs almost the New Year. Arenât you going back to the old mansion to worship the ancestors this year? Besides, if we leave, what about Tangtang?â
Tangtang who was mentioned quickly came over, âMommy, where are you going? I want to go too..â
