“So, you’re not…”
At this point, Grandma Qin paused and did not continue.
She pondered whether or not she should reveal the rest.
Qin Zhenzhen understood her grandma’s unspoken thoughts.
Her grandma had harbored suspicions about her true identity for some time now, and those doubts likely grew stronger today.
Qin Zhenzhen had been aware of her grandma’s lingering uncertainty and understood that the truth would eventually come to light.
It was inevitable because her grandma had firsthand knowledge of the unique abilities possessed by the Jiang family’s special individuals. Sooner or later, she would realize that Qin Zhenzhen was different from those with special abilities.
Even if Qin Zhenzhen tried to shield her grandma from the truth, it was only a matter of time before the secret unraveled.
Her decision to restore her grandma’s eyes served multiple purposes. Firstly, it was a direct challenge to the Jiang family’s authority. Secondly, she needed her grandma’s assistance.
As for the ultimate outcome of this revelation, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel a twinge of nervousness.
“Grandma, you’ve just regained your sight. It’s essential that you rest and not dwell on anything else,” Qin Zhenzhen gently advised as she helped her grandma settle onto the bed.
Her grandma complied, lying down and closing her eyes obediently.
As Qin Zhenzhen exited the room, softly closing the door behind her, her grandma slowly reopened her eyes.
She had always suspected that Qin Zhenzhen might not be her biological granddaughter. A true granddaughter couldn’t possess such intelligence and wisdom.
Yet, when the four boys confessed about the dream, and Qin Zhenzhen acknowledged her own death and subsequent existence as a ghost for many years, her skills and newfound understanding of humanity had left her grandma questioning everything.
Only then did she reluctantly accept Qin Zhenzhen’s story.
However, she couldn’t help but harbor suspicions about the extraordinary events that followed.
It was one thing to believe that someone could quickly learn cooking skills through observation, but mastering medical massage, regular massage, and acupuncture required dedicated practice.
Her biological granddaughter had grown up under her care, and she was intimately familiar with her temperament and abilities.
While it might be conceivable that a person’s temperament could change significantly after experiencing death, transforming from vicious to kind or from lazy to hardworking and brave, it was implausible for one’s innate aptitude and talent to undergo such a radical transformation simply due to a near-death experience.
Despite her reservations, she chose not to expose Qin Zhenzhen because she had developed genuine affection for this “granddaughter.”
She had contemplated the matter thoroughly. As long as this “granddaughter” remained devoted to her family and was willing to protect them, why should she be concerned about whether or not she was her biological granddaughter?
At night, Qin Zhenzhen entered her grandma’s room with determination.
“Grandma, do you still have doubts about whether I’m your biological granddaughter?” Qin Zhenzhen asked bluntly.
Grandma Qin wore a stern expression. “Would you dare to swear that you are indeed my biological granddaughter, Qin Zhenzhen?”
Qin Zhenzhen replied, “If you’d like me to swear it, I can, because I am undeniably Qin Zhenzhen.”
“But I can’t confirm if I am your granddaughter.” Grandma Qin gazed at Qin Zhenzhen in astonishment. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t be alarmed. I have something else to tell you.”
After careful consideration, Qin Zhenzhen chose to reveal the truth.
“In the dream that Fourth Brother had, I was already deceased. I didn’t fabricate that; it was his personal experience.”
“But when I claimed to have been a ghost for years and learned skills like cooking and healing, that part was a lie.”
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin’s emotions swirled with excitement. “You…
Why did you deceive us?”
Qin Zhenzhen gently held her grandma’s hand. “Please, don’t get too upset. Allow me to explain.”
Grandma Qin was so taken aback by Qin Zhenzhen’s revelations that she found it difficult to respond.
Qin Zhenzhen continued, “Why didn’t I disclose the truth from the beginning? I was afraid that you might perceive me as some sort of reincarnated monster..”
