Chapter 417: A Sincere Request

The old lady looked at the back of Nan Zhi’s hand, which was scalded red and she frowned. “Why are you so careless? There’s a washroom inside, do you want to run some cold water over it?”

Nan Zhi shook her head and smiled. “It’s all right, it’s not that serious. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Thinking of Xue’er, Nan Zhi continued, “Old Madam, why did you ask me out to meet you when Sister Xue’er is missing?”

The old lady looked at Nan Zhi quietly for a while before saying slowly, “Because I know Sihan will find her.”

Nan Zhi’s eyebrows furrowed together immediately.

The old lady had come well prepared.

From the old lady’s attitude towards her in the morning, Nan Zhi could vaguely guess what she was going to say next.

The old lady took a sip of tea, her expression not mean but requesting with sincerity. “Miss Nan, you are a good girl and had a child with Sihan. I should give you two my blessings, but I’m about to die. I only have a few more months to live. My only wish is to see Sihan and Xue’er together.”

“Xue’er and Sihan are both poor children. They are childhood sweethearts and should have gotten married, but fate caused them to be separated for several years.”

“I really am worried with Xue’er ending up like this and having depression. Sihan is the person I trust the most. He is the only one I can trust. I can only rest assured by giving Xue’er to him!”

Nan Zhi could understand the love and care of the old lady towards her granddaughter, but could feelings be forced?

“Old Madam, do you wish for me to leave Mu Sihan and let him be with Xue’er?”

The old lady suddenly stood up and left her seat. She came forward and took Nan Zhi’s hand. Under Nan Zhi’s surprised gaze, the old lady suddenly fell onto her knees.

The old lady’s cloudy eyes were filled with tears. “Miss Nan, I didn’t want to interfere with your relationship with Sihan but Xue’er is too pitiful. You’re young and pretty and you didn’t know SIhan when you gave birth to Xiaojie. The two of you didn’t get together because of the child. If you leave Sihan, you will definitely find a better man, but Xue’er is different. She only has SIhan to depend on.

Nan Zhi was at a loss of what to do by the old lady’s unexpected actions. She only reacted and lifted the old lady up from the ground after a while.

“Miss Nan, if you don’t promise me, I won’t get up.” The old lady was not in good health and started coughing when she got worked up.

The old lady slowly stood up after Nan Zhi tried to help her up for a while.

She pursed her lips and there was no smile on her beautiful face. She looked at the old lady seriously. “Old Madam, the power to make the decision is not mine, but Mu Sihan’s. If he wants to choose Xue’er, I would never cling to him.”

The old lady paled when she saw that Nan Zhi was not persuaded.

She waved her hands, as if she did not want to say anything more. “Leave!”

…

In front of his adoptive father’s tombstone, Mu Sihan found Xue’er, who had come to pay her respects.

Seeing that she was safe and sound with only tears on her face, Mu Sihan frowned. “Why did you turn off your phone after leaving Grandma’s house? Grandma’s worried sick.”

He was going to the restaurant to meet Nan Zhi but halfway there, he had a call from the old lady saying that Xue’er was missing. He then turned back quickly to look for her.

“After coming out of the house, the car broke down and I let the bodyguard send it to the repair shop. I then thought of father’s accident, so I took a taxi to the cemetery to see him.” Xue’er took out her phone from her bag and pressed the screen. “The battery ran out and it turned off automatically, I’m sorry, Ah Han. Grandma must have been frightened by my last disappearance.”
