My Ex Wants Me So Badly After Divorce

Chapter 88 - Time Is Running Out

Chapter 88: Time Is Running Out

“Why is Grandpa so sleepy?”

Su Wan naturally cared about Grandpa.

However, after Qin Lan heard these words, her expression darkened. Su Wan could tell with one look that this matter was not simple. Perhaps it was not as optimistic as she had imagined.

Then, Qin Lan sighed, “Grandpa’s health has always been poor. The first time I asked you to come, his condition had already worsened. Moreover, it doesn’t show any signs of improvement. The doctor previously said that Grandpa might not have much time left.”

Qin Lan said all this because she felt that Jing Chen already knew about it. It wasn’t good for them to continue hiding this matter from Su Wan. She would find out sooner or later, and it might be a good thing to be prepared early.

However, Su Wan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her ears instantly rang, and she was in a state of panic where she did not know where to go.

She looked at Qin Lan with wide eyes, but her mind had already gone blank.

This matter dealt her a huge blow.

She knew that things had been abnormal during this period of time, but she had thought that the matter between her and Jing Chen had affected Grandpa’s emotions. She definitely did not expect that Grandpa would be in such a situation where he did not have much time left!

Qin Lan pursed her lips. Looking at Su Wan’s reaction, she didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing for her to tell her.

Her heart ached uncontrollably. She comforted her, “Grandpa still wants to see you. As long as you’re here, Grandpa will be in a good mood.”

Su Wan’s heart ached even more because of these words.

When she thought about how she had looked for Grandpa, she wished she could beat herself to death!

Tears streamed down her face.

Su Wan said bitterly, “Mom, did I hurt Grandpa? Jing Chen kept telling me that he would settle the divorce and I just had to wait for his notice, but he didn’t tell me that it was because of Grandpa. He didn’t say that he was so concerned about Bai Lian.”

“It’s fine if he’s concerned about Bai Lian. He likes Bai Lian to begin with, but he’s still controlling me! He doesn’t give me freedom and told me to watch my words and actions when I’m outside. I couldn’t take it anymore and came to tell Grandpa about this.”

“It’s all because I took matters into my own hands…”

Su Wan immediately understood why Jing Chen cared so much about her and why he treated her like this. It was all because of Grandpa! She had always been stuck in love.

She felt that Jing Chen was making things difficult for her.

He was not making things difficult for her. In the end, she was the one who made things difficult for Jing Chen!

It was her stubbornness that led to this.

“Wan wan, don’t think like this. This has nothing to do with you. Grandpa had this illness before, but he didn’t want you children to worry, that’s why we didn’t tell you, so Jing Chen didn’t know about it before. We needed you to come to visit often, that’s why we told Jing Chen about it.”

Qin Lan quickly explained, then pulled Su Wan to the sofa and sat down, her eyes full of worry.

She hoped that Su Wan would accept this.

When Qin Lan first knew about it, she found it hard to accept. No matter what, she was living well in the Jing Family because Grandpa Jing treated her well.

Otherwise, with her awkward identity and past embarrassment, it would be very difficult for her to survive here.

She would definitely be despised by others.

But because of Grandpa Jing’s attitude, no one dared to be disrespectful to Qin Lan. They were all very respectful.

Qin Lan knew how miserable Su Wan felt right now.

Su Wan was crying non-stop. She covered her face and said, “Mom, the one in the wrong is not Jing Chen. It’s always been me. So Jing Chen told me that he won’t divorce me not because he had a change of heart, but it’s because of Grandpa. No wonder…”

Su Wan, who had figured everything out in an instant, felt her heart turn cold.

She looked at Qin Lan with tears in her eyes and said, “Mom, respect Jing Chen’s decision. Even without this marriage, I won’t leave Grandpa. I’m indebted to Grandpa.”

Qin Lan sighed. “Child, I might have done something wrong. I shouldn’t have forced Jing Chen. It had the opposite effect. If this is the ending, I will definitely respect and accept your decision. You are still a child of the Jing family.”

“—”

But now, it was too late.

Su Wan felt like a clown when she remembered the occasions she talked to Jing Chen about Bai Lian.

It was extremely pitiful.

And pathetic.
