Ningning had been born and raised in the Mo family since he was young. Not only Ningning, but she herself had also grown up in the Mo family.
Taking the child away had never even crossed her mind.
“Okay, the child is older now. It’s good to spend more time with you.” The old man was very reasonable and did not object at all.
Jiang Tingxu could not help but feel a little ache in her heart:
“Grandpa, don’t worry.”
Ever since she was young, no matter what decision she made, the old man would always support her at the first instant.
This included the fact that she wanted to marry Mo Boyuan back then, or the fact that she wanted a divorce now!
How fortunate was she to meet such a tolerant elder like the old man?
The old man, however, laughed:
“Good child, don’t think too much. As long as the both of you still acknowledge this old man, this old man would be satisfied.”
Jiang Tingxu quickly said,
“Grandfather, don’t say that. How can I not acknowledge you? It would never happen!”
In fact, the thoughts of the elderly were sometimes very simple and there was no need to complicate it. For example, Elder Mo was actually reluctant for them to leave the Mo family. Jiang Tingxu naturally knew this in her heart.
Ningning also spoke again:
“Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, even if Ningning doesn’t acknowledge father, he won’t deny you, Great-grandfather! The person that Ningning likes the most is great-grandfather.”
This little bootlicker was very smooth.
As expected, the old man was coaxed into laughing loudly by his great-grandson:
“Good, good, good. Great-grandfather hasn’t doted on you for nothing.”
Seeing the grandfather and grandson speak one after another, Jiang Tingxu’s smile reached her eyes:
“Grandfather, I have to go to work tomorrow. If It’s morning, I’d have to trouble Uncle Jin to come over and pick up the child. I’ll then pick him up after work in the afternoon.”
“Sure! But little girl, isn’t working at the hospital tiring? Why does grandfather see that you’re not as energetic as before?”
After working at night for a week, how could she be in good spirits?
“Cough, it’s fine. I’m not very tired. This job is my father’s wish, and it’s also something I like!”
The old man nodded:
“Yeah, your father really wanted you to become a doctor. It’s just a pity that he can’t see you anymore.”
Every time Father Jiang was mentioned, the old man’s face was full of guilt.
Jiang Tingxu pursed her lips:
“Grandpa, it’s been so many years. Don’t take those things to heart anymore.”
It wasn’t the old man who let those things happen. Father Jiang’s sacrifice back then was due to some other reasons, it didn’t really have anything to do with the Mo family.
What everyone knew was that Father Jiang’s death back then was to save the old man.
Actually, that wasn’t entirely the case.
Back then, Father Jiang sacrificed, his coffin was draped with the G flag, and the flag was flown at half-mast in the entire country. That wasn’t something that could be achieved just by saving Old Man Mo.
It was just that there were some things that couldn’t be made public.
The old man still couldn’t completely let go. He waved his hand:
“It’s getting late. The two of you should go back first. Oh right, ask Uncle Jin to go to the storeroom and bring back a few boxes of tonics with you. Young woman, it’s time that you replenish your body.”
Cough.
“Alright, thank you, grandfather.”
Jiang Tingxu naturally would not reject the old man’s concern for her.
…
When the mother and son walked out of the old house, they saw Uncle Jin carrying a full load of things in his hands and loading them into the trunk of the car.
Hiss!
These were the boxes that Grandpa mentioned?
The trunk of the car was so stuffed that it was practically overflowing, okay?
“Young Madam, Little Master.” Uncle Jin greeted the mother and son, after having stuffed everything in.
