Fang Yuan approached and settled into the chair by Granny Fang’s bedside. She gently removed the bracelet from the elderly woman’s hand. Surprisingly, the old lady appeared to have sensed something and slowly opened her eyes.
“Yuanyuan, is that you?” Liu Yuehua, with her white hair and a gentle countenance, was filled with excitement as her frail voice expressed her delight. “You’ve finally come to visit me…”
“Grandma.”
The moment Fang Yuan spoke, Liu Yuehua’s eyes welled up with tears. “Oh, after such a long slumber, I can finally hear my beloved granddaughter’s voice again…”
“Your body is still in recovery. You mustn’t get too excited,” Fang Yuan advised as she wiped away her tears. She adjusted the headboard, fetched a glass of warm water, and handed it to her. “Have a sip of water to soothe your throat first.”
“Alright…” Liu Yuehua accepted the water and obediently took a sip. She then clasped her granddaughter’s hand. “Has Song Ling or anyone else mistreated you?”
Fang Yuan offered a sweet smile. “No, Grandma.”
“Several days ago, when 1 woke up, I heard that she sent you back to your biological parents…” Liu Yuehua grew furious at the recollection.
Fang Yuan quickly patted her back. “Grandma, please don’t get agitated. My biological parents treat me quite well…”
“Is that so?”
“Yes,” Fang Yuan replied with a gentle smile. “Just look at me – 1 don’t seem to have been mistreated in the slightest.”
Liu Yuehua, who had lived a life of indulgence for many years, could certainly tell that Fang Yuan’s clothing was all custom-made. While she might not have known the brand, the material and style were undoubtedly top-notch. Fang Yuan even wore a luxurious crown necklace around her neck.
Regarding the necklace, Liu Yuehua was mildly surprised. It seemed oddly familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before…
Examining the butterfly bracelet adorning Fang Yuan’s wrist, which was also adorned with high-quality diamonds, Liu Yuehua couldn’t help but wonder about her biological parents. They appeared to be quite well-off, yet…
Liu Yuehua’s heart ached as she considered that such a well-behaved and obedient child wasn’t her biological granddaughter. She particularly resented Song Ling for heartlessly expelling such a good child from the house without any regard for their kinship.
“Grandma, if you get so excited every time you see me, I’ll be too scared to visit again!”
In response to Fang Yuan’s playful remark, Liu Yuehua smiled amid her tears and hastily wiped them away. “Don’t say that. Come visit me whenever you have the time… Otherwise, I miss you terribly. I wouldn’t even know where to look for you.”
Fang Yuan offered a faint smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll visit you whenever 1 have the chance.”
“Even though you don’t share the Fang family’s bloodline, I’ve regarded you as my own granddaughter for so many years. I still want to see you get married!”
Fang Yuan smiled in response. “Then I won’t keep you waiting.”
“I’m not afraid of waiting. As long as you find a good man who treats you well, I’ll have no worries in this life!” Liu Yuehua patted the back of her hand. “If your biological family mistreats you, don’t hide it from me.”
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment.”…”
“When I’ve fully recovered, you can come to stay with me. I’ll buy a new house, and the two of us can live together, away from them.”
Fang Yuan understood that she would never return to the Fang family, so she replied gently, “I’ll spend more time with you in the future.”
“Very well…” Liu Yuehua was highly content and spoke in a hushed tone, “Grandma has a secret to tell you. Come closer.”
Evidently concerned that the walls might have ears, Liu Huayue waited for Fang Yuan to approach and then whispered, “I’ve already drawn up my will. It’s stored in the safe deposit box. In case anything happens, the shares, savings, and RV in my possession, they’re all for you…”
“Grandma, that’s out of the question!” Fang Yuan rejected it firmly.
Liu Yuehua hushed her, “Let me finish… Fang Liguo is tender-hearted and often defers to Song Ling, but Song Ling has a mean-spirited personality and doesn’t like you… The two of them lack the acumen for business. If you hand everything over to them, they’ll squander it sooner or later.”
Fang Yuan:”…” That’s a valid point. Fang Liguo and Song Ling’s business acumen is indeed dreadful.
“But if you possess the capability, I’m willing to entrust it to you. Moreover, I’ve treated you as my own granddaughter all these years. Regardless of which family’s child you are, you are my cherished granddaughter!”
Fang Yuan felt a lump in her throat upon hearing this.
“Grandma, let me add something. Song Ling and the others frequently mistreat you. Once you have the shares, you can either convert them to cash or bring them to the company. Don’t let them squander all of the Bai family’s assets. Don’t let yourself suffer alongside them.”
Fang Yuan didn’t anticipate that Granny Fang would even contemplate an escape plan for her. Her eyes welled up with tears. “But it belongs to you. It’s the Fang family’s property. I can’t take it.”
“If you don’t want it, I’d rather donate it all than leave it to them…”
Fang Yuan fell into silence once more. She knew that over the years, Fang Liguo and Song Ling’s actions had utterly shattered Granny Fang’s heart. Granny Fang would never bequeath the inheritance to them..
