Chapter 585 Ecstatic
Ji Shan's fainting lasted for a very long time, during this period the Ji family spent a huge sum of money to silence the doctor and continued to hide the matter of Ji Shan's' sickness' from Old madam Shen. The Shen family were rich but the Ji family wasn't worse off with Old madam Shen guarding them like a fierce tigress, they could still spend a few pennies to buy the doctor that came to look check up on Ji Shan.
Uncle Ji also decided to wash his hands in this opportunity that has been given to him, he continued to pester his sister every day and didn't forget to mention how his heart was hurting because of Ji Shan's fainting and her condition deteriorating at the Shen mansion. " Sister if your sons don't welcome our Ji family just say it but please don't make things difficult for Shan Shan, she is still a child and if you can't dote on her then let me take her away. I can dote on her, after all, I am still her grandfather—— I only sent her here because you were feeling unwell. I had no other hidden intentions but your sons keeps treating her like I am trying to steal the Shen mansion from you."
" Shan Shan is a sick child and her health hasn't been the best, yet I sent her here because she resembles Shui Shui the most. I just wanted to liven things up, I know how much you miss our cute Shui Shui and given that Wan Wan is still unhappy with you all and refuses to talk to your family, I came up with this idea… you tell me what's wrong have I committed that you all are treating my poor granddaughter like this? Do you know how much my heart hurts seeing her like this?"
Listening to her brother's reproach there was nothing Old madam Shen could come up with to say to him. She glared at her son who was standing next to her, it was clear that he had no intentions to help her out, so she could only smile awkwardly and look at her brother with an apologetic expression. " Cousin, don't be angry. I do admit that my sons were the ones who created this trouble and I have to admit that they were wrong in doing so, why don't we do this? You can take Shan Shan to the Ji house and then calm her down if she is still willing to come back, then I will accept her wholeheartedly but if she doesn't then I will let her leave, what do you say?"
Uncle Ji was still moaning about just how much he misses his granddaughter and how his heart was feeling sour after sending her away from him but as soon as he heard what old Madam Shen has said, he ended up choking on his sobs. Send Ji Shan back? Why in the world will he be willing to take this debt collector to his house back? Without her, the house was a lot more peaceful and his grandson wasn't bullied anymore.
And what was more he was still waiting to hear the news of his sister passing away in her sleep or due to a heart attack, how can he take Ji Shan away? Without Old madam Shen's death, how will he take control of the properties that were under her name?
Those properties were not much but for him who was sailing in a sinking ship, those measly lifeboats were still better than anything!
He could never allow Shan Shan to return home no matter what!
Ji Shan who was unconscious on the bed could no longer listen to her grandfather yammer, if she let him take charge of the things here, she will be sent back before she could even 'wake up'.And she wasn't even adopted yet! What if this third uncle of hers brought that Su Wan back home while she was gone? Then what was she going to?
Even though she knew that it will make people suspicious, especially her third uncle, she still opened her eyes and looked at her grandmother hazily. " Grandma?"
Because Ji Shan was too involved in her act she didn't dare to drink or eat anything, she was worried that she was being monitored by her third uncle and that was why she stayed hungry and thirsty for four days. So, her voice was croaky and grating without her even trying and thus she was able to make herself look pitiful in front of Old madam Shen.
Old madam Shen hurriedly held Ji Shan's hand and asked, " Shan Shan, can you hear me? How do you feel?"
The doctor who was treating Ji Shan told old madam Shen that Ji Shan received a huge shock that was why she fainted and couldn't wake up because she was recovering from it. Old madam Shen was worried that Ji Shan's brain would be affected by the shock that she received and couldn't help but worry about her.
Ji Shan looked around in a daze and slanted her head looking at old madam Shen with a pitiful expression. " Grandma, what happened to me?"
It was as if she forgot what happened, Old madam Shen was even more worried that her memory was affected because of the incident and soothingly answered, " You fainted Shan Shan, it has been four days since then, how are you feeling?"
And as soon as she said Ji Shan's eyes widened and then big fat tears started to fall from her eyes. "Grandmother, do you... do you not want me anymore? If so, I will leave then." She turned her to grandfather and sobbed. " Grandfather let's go, I... I don't want to snatch anyone's position from them."
Uncle Ji understood what Ji Shan was doing and immediately nodded, " Yes let's go. Sister, please forgive us but I think that we deserve to become a family with your great Shen family."
"Nonsense," shouted Old madam Shen as she held Ji Shan who was still 'weak'. " What stupid things are you saying? How can I not want you? Forget about not wanting you, we will hold the adoption ceremony tomorrow! Lest you start thinking silly things again."
