“Grandma, we are doing it for your health,” Shen Hanxing persuaded gently, “When you are well, you can go wherever you want, okay?”

“No, I don’t agree,” Grandma insisted, “I will live in the west of the city. I won’t go anywhere. I won’t go to your house either.”

“Why? Why is grandma so stubborn about staying in the city west?” Shen Hanxing was a little confused as she thought, but she was helpless against the stubborn grandma. She could only look at Ji Yan with a troubled expression.

“Grandma, you have to give me a reason,” Ji Yan looked at grandma as he asked softly, “we’re doing this for your health. If you don’t want to go abroad, you have to give us a reason that can convince us.”

“I…” Grandma opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but her expression quickly changed as she said, “if I say I’m not going, then I’m not going. Alright, Don’t talk to me about this. I want to sleep for a while.”

Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing looked at each other. Something was wrong. Grandma was not an unreasonable old lady. After losing the heavy burden of life, she was open-minded most of the time. What was the reason that made her refuse to leave the west side of the city, even ignoring her health?

“Grandma, we are a family. You can tell us anything,” Shen Hanxing softened her voice. Leaning on Grandma’s shoulder, she said coquettishly, “you raised me and are the person closest to me. Is there anything that you can’t even tell me?”

“You… as expected of the child I raised. You know how to deal with me,” Her grandmother stroked Shen Hanxing’s hair helplessly. Her eyes softened. She had lost her husband in the early years and her middle-aged daughter. She only had her granddaughter by her side, who she had raised with her own hands. Shen Hanxing was her only family member and the most important person in her life.

Her grandmother could no longer put on a straight face. She sighed deeply and said, “Forget it. There’s nothing that I can’t tell you.” That could be considered an old matter. Her grandmother had a son and a daughter in her life. Before giving birth to Shen Hanxing’s mother, she had a son. But she lost her son when he was seven years old. Grandpa and grandma went crazy looking for him, but they couldn’t find him, no matter how hard they tried. Later, Grandpa had a job transfer, so they had no choice but to move their family abroad. However, Grandma still didn’t give up on the search. She kept in contact with the people in the country until Shen Hanxing was born. At that time, grandpa had pa.s.sed away, and grandma had to take the heavy burden of life alone and raise Shen Hanxing. Only then did she temporarily give up on the search.

Later, Grandma followed Shen Hanxing back to the country and picked up the matter of finding the child again.

“I’m afraid that when your uncle hears the news and comes looking for me, he won’t be able to find me,” Grandma’s eyes were red, and her voice was unbelievably hoa.r.s.e. I always feel that he will come back sooner or later.” That was why she refused to go overseas for treatment. She was afraid that the lost child would be unable to find her when he returned.

“Grandma, things are different now,” Shen Hanxing did not persuade Grandma to give up. Grandma had already been delayed for twenty years because of her. She did not have the right to ask a mother who missed her child to give up looking for her child. Shen Hanxing hugged Grandma’s skinny body and raised her voice. “Communication is so advanced these days. There are many ways to find people. If you had told me this earlier, we might have already found uncle by now.”

“Grandma, please be more specific,” Ji Yan nodded. “I will go to the police station and offer a reward. We will definitely find him whether it is advertising or posting information on the Internet.”

Every year, countless children are missing in the country. With a population of more than one billion, finding someone who had been missing for more than forty years was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing did not find it troublesome. They listened carefully to their grandmother’s past story and carefully planned it out.

Grandma had just fallen ill, and she was old and lacked energy. After talking for a while, she fell asleep. Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing quietly walked out of the ward. The two of them leaned against the wall and did not speak. After a long while, Shen Hanxing sighed softly. “I feel like I owe grandma a lot.”

“There’s still time,” Ji Yan pulled Shen Hanxing into his embrace and said in a low voice, “I will take good care of grandma with you and repay grandma’s kindness for raising you.”

Ji Yan’s body had a pleasant pine fragrance, and his broad arms gave people a strong sense of security. Shen Hanxing thought that her best decision was to marry this man. She did not want to be immersed in heavy emotions for a long time. So she deliberately lifted her head and smirked. “Mr. Ji also wants to repay grandma? But grandma has been kind to me for raising me, but she hasn’t been kind to Mr. Ji. Why do you want to repay her?”
