Chapter 160: The Heirloom Jade Bracelet
Watching as everyone departed in twos and threes, Ji Wanwan moved her stiff, swollen neck and prepared to stand up and return to her private space with Xia Li to rest.
As she just walked into the building, Ji Wanwan saw Ji Xing, Xu Siming, Zhou Kai, Father Ji, and Mrs. Ji, who had already left earlier, all standing before her.
Ji Wanwan was slightly startled, sensing that something was amiss.
After exchanging a glance with Xia Li, she quickened her pace and approached, "Dad, Mom, Xingxing, what’s...?"
"Grandma..." Pushing through the crowd, Ji Wanwan saw the figure standing in front of everyone.
Under the dim lights, Qi Hao’s Grandma’s silhouette seemed more hunched over than ever, and her melancholic, haggard face made it difficult for anyone to take another step forward.
During the meeting, Ji Wanwan had Xia Li disguise herself and sit in the darkest shadow specifically to avoid being spotted by Qi Hao’s Grandma.
Now that Grandma was standing here, Ji Wanwan didn’t know whether she had recognized Xia Li or if there was another reason.
Ever since the battle at Baize Union, Qi Hao’s coma had been a thorn in everyone’s side; even though they deliberately avoided talking about it, reminders of the young man who drove a saucy purple Porsche with an innocent air would quietly resurface in various details.
Everyone was trying their best to conceal the fact of Qi Hao’s coma, but no act is flawless, especially in front of a grandmother who adored her grandson.
