Chapter 122 - 119: She rejected him again (1 more update)_2
It was Ning Guiwan’s maternal grandmother who accompanied her through that most difficult year.
"Xiaowan, Grandma doesn’t know how much longer I will live. Grandma isn’t afraid of dying; what Grandma fears is not seeing you settle down in a good home. When I’m down there, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to your maternal grandmother... And Ayu... I’d like to see him marry and have children too..."
Most people cling to life and fear death because they have loved ones they can’t bear to leave behind.
"Grandma Quan, you should live to a ripe old age." Ning Guiwan crouched next to the rocking chair, her hands clasped over the old lady’s knees, lifting her face. "Not just a ripe old age, but you should also live to see your grandchildren’s children."
When she first returned to the country, Ning Guiwan was not accustomed to the old lady’s enthusiasm. Now, however, she had grown used to being close to Grandma Quan. Knowing that Grandma Quan still favored her even after she had done something wrong, Ning Guiwan was sure this meant she was genuinely cherished by the old lady.
No matter why the old lady cherished her so much, she was grateful.
"What’s the use of living so long? When you get so old that you lose all your teeth, it’s no fun." Madam Quan placed her hand over Ning Guiwan’s. Perhaps thinking of bygone years, her expression turned solemn, revealing a hint of melancholy. "I just need to see you and Ayu each start your own families and live happily; that’s enough for me."
Pausing for a moment, the old lady looked at Ning Guiwan. "Chengzong and his grandfather are coming to visit our home tomorrow. Do you remember Chengzong? You played together when you were little."
...
Lai Yang saw her second cousin’s car from upstairs and guessed it was bringing Ning Guiwan back. Seeing that Ning Guiwan was still not returning to her room, she felt a bit worried and decided to go down and check.
