226 Chapter 225, Someone You Should Be Softhearted For
Ji Yuanyuan also felt that it was strange. Hu Chunli treated Yang Jingyi more seriously than a pearl. She usually came to pick her up.
If it weren’t for something happening, she wouldn’t have let Yang Jingyi go home by herself.
However, this was ultimately a matter of Yang Jingyi’s family. If Yang Jingyi didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t want to force it.
“I don’t know, Second Brother. Don’t mention this matter in front of Yang Jingyi. She doesn’t seem to want to talk about it. Otherwise, she will cry again.”
Hearing that Yang Jingyi was about to cry, Ji Zi’ang could not help but shudder. He quickly said, “I won’t ask, I won’t ask, I won’t ask anymore…”
He hated it the most when girls cried. Of course, Qi Huanhuan was the exception!
When they got home, Li Xu had already prepared the meal. Seeing that the children had come back later than before, she asked curiously, “Why did you come back so late today?”
Ji Yuanyuan lied, “Our teacher delayed the cla.s.s for a while.”
It was common for teachers to delay the cla.s.s. Li Xu did not suspect anything and only urged them, “Hurry up and wash your hands then eat!”
Ji Zi’ang had been playing the entire morning and was starving.
When he heard Li Xu’s words, he was the first to rush into the bathroom to wash his hands.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan followed closely behind.
In the afternoon, Yang Jingyi’s mood was much better. Occasionally, she could even give Ji Yuanyuan a smile.
When school was over, Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother was waiting at the school gate, waiting for her to come out.
Seeing them come out, Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother came up to them. She looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked gently, “You are Ji Yuanyuan, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded suspiciously.
Yang Jingyi’s grandmother heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Bring me to your house. I have something to discuss with your Mother, okay?”
Although ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised, but this person was Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother after all, she was not a bad person.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded. “Okay.”
Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Under the lead of Ji Yuanyuan and the others, Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother quickly arrived at Li Xu’s shop.
As soon as she entered, Ji Yuanyuan introduced her to Li Xu. “Mom, this is Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother. She has something to ask you.”
“I’m really sorry. Chunli said that you’re her friend. I had something to trouble you with, so I came over,” Jingyi’s Grandmother said embarra.s.sedly.
Li Xu muttered in her heart. She and Hu Chunli could barely be considered friends. She did not know how she could help Hu Chunli’s Mother.
“Please tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can,” Li Xu said quickly.
Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother looked at Yang Jingyi hesitantly. Li Xu immediately reacted and instructed Ji Yuanyuan, “Bring Jingyi out to play for a while.”
Ji Yuanyuan also knew that Yang Jingyi’s Grandmother probably had something to say to her Mother.
She reached out and took Yang Jingyi’s hand. “Let’s go outside.”
Yang Jingyi nodded and followed Ji Yuanyuan out.
Seeing that her granddaughter listened to Ji Yuanyuan’s words, she clearly heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s like this, Chun Li is currently in the hospital. Her father pa.s.sed away a few years ago. He still has a brother, but he works in another province. Other than me, no one can take care of her.
“But I can’t ask Jingyi to spend the night in the hospital. She still has to go to school tomorrow morning, so I can’t take care of her. I was thinking about asking Jingyi to stay with you for two days. When Chun Li is discharged from the hospital, we’ll take Jingyi back.”
She paused for a moment. She seemed afraid that Li Xu would refuse, so she quickly added, “Don’t worry. We’re not asking you to help for free. You don’t have to worry about money.”
“I’m not worried about that. It’s just that you’ve seen that we have three children in our family. I really can’t take care of them. Jingyi’s situation is special. I’m afraid that she’ll b.u.mp into something…”
It wasn’t that Li Xu didn’t want to help, but she was really too busy. She definitely couldn’t stare at Yang Jingyi like Hu Chunli did.
She was really afraid if something happened to the child under her watch.
“I understand, I understand. Jingyi’s situation…” Jingyi’s Grandmother looked a little embarra.s.sed, “I really have no choice. I’m desperate. It’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s not convenient for you, I’ll bring her to the hospital.”
“What about Jingyi’s father? Doesn’t her father’s side have anyone to take care of Jingyi?” Li Xu looked at Jingyi’s Grandmother and felt sorry for her.
When Jingyi’s Grandmother heard Li Xu mention Yang junying, she couldn’t help but sneer. “That b*stards of the Yang family don’t even treat Jingyi as a member of the Yang family. They won’t care about Jingyi!”
“Chunli… What happened to her?” Li Xu hesitated for a moment before asking.
Hearing Li Xu’s words, Jingyi’s Grandmother sighed. “This child is too stubborn and stupid. She slit her wrists when I wasn’t paying attention.”
Cut her wrist? Suicide?
Li Xu frowned. She didn’t expect Hu Chunli to be so extreme.
“It’s okay. I won’t disturb you then. I’ll Take Jingyi home for dinner first,” Jingyi’s Grandmother said, trying to keep her spirits up.
Looking at her, Li Xu’s heart softened.
At such an old age, she had to take care of her daughter and her granddaughter…
“Please let Jingyi stay here!” Li Xu suddenly said.
Jingyi’s Grandmother was stunned for a moment, but she quickly returned to her senses and thanked her profusely. “Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.”
Li Xu shook her head. “You don’t have to be so polite, and you don’t have to pay. Our Yuanyuan and Jingyi are best friends. Besides, there won’t be much difference taking care of one more child. You can take care of Chunli in peace and come and pick up Jingyi after she’s discharged from the hospital.”
Jingyi’s Grandmother thanked her again and again before leaving.
She stood before Yang Jingyi at the door and instructed her for a long time before leaving.
Looking at Yang Jingyi’s back view outside, Li Xu Sighed.
Her daughter was right. She was too soft-hearted.
However, Yang Jingyi was different from Shen Lingxue!
Yang Jingyi should be someone she should be soft-hearted for, right?
With this thought in mind, Li Xu took the keys from the cashier counter and closed the store. She then called the children, “Let’s go back and eat.”
Ji Zi’ang triumphed and took the lead to run home.
Ji Zixuan slowly walked home side by side with Li Xu.
At the back, Ji Yuanyuan held Yang Jingyi’s hand. “Stay in my house for the next few days and sleep in the same room as me.”
Yang Jingyi nodded awkwardly. She looked down at her hand, feeling a little lost.
Before this, she had envied Ji Yuanyuan.
Every day, she wanted to live the same life as Ji Yuanyuan.
But now, her wish had finally come true, but she was not happy at all. She suddenly missed the time when she was under her Mother’s care.
How could people be so strange?
She blinked her eyes and wiped away the moisture in them!
