chapter 104: I Have the Same Intention

Old Master Ji, leaning on his cane, slowly walked into the room.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, and it fell on Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei in the first instance.

When he saw Ling Yao, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The information he had found said that this granddaughter was not only a love-struck fool but also quite ordinary in appearance, dark and fat.

 But the Ling Yao in front of him was completely different from the description in the information.

Especially her cool and noble aura, she was completely a wealthy young lady from Beijing. He would believe that she had grown up in a big family.

“Dad!”

“Grandfather!”

Seeing Old Master Ji, everyone’s faces were filled with surprise. They had called Old Master Ji before coming, hoping he would come with them.

 But Old Master Ji said he didn’t want to come and didn’t want to manage Ji Yanting’s family anymore. But he still came.

Ji Yanting quickly pulled Ling Xuemei and Ling Yao behind him, facing Old Master Ji with a look of fear, “Dad, why did you come?”

Old Master Ji walked slowly to the sofa. Uncle Ji quickly gave up his seat and respectfully asked Old Master Ji to sit down, “Dad, please sit!”

Old Master Ji sat down slowly. His gaze fell on Ling Yao again.

Ling Yao’s eyes didn’t waver. She looked directly at Old Master Ji’s scrutinizing gaze.

Old Master Ji was slightly surprised. He took the tea that Uncle Ji handed him and took a sip. He slowly said,

 “You are Ling Yao?” She was different from what he had imagined. She had some of the Ji family’s appearance.

“I am.” Ling Yao nodded.

“Yaoyao, this is your grandfather.” Ji Yanting reminded her softly. His eyes held a complex emotion.

He resented his father. If it weren’t for him, Xuemei and Yaoyao wouldn’t have suffered so much these years.

But he was his father after all. He couldn’t cut off the blood ties. Even if he had resentment in his heart, he couldn’t deny him.

Ling Yao smiled slightly. Her smile was a little indifferent. She didn’t call him anything.

She had heard Zhou Yu talk about the Ji family before she died in her previous life.

She knew that the person who had separated their family for so many years was Old Master Ji.

Since he had chosen not to recognize her as his granddaughter, why should she rush to recognize him?

Old Master Ji didn’t expect Ling Yao’s attitude to be so cold. He said in a huff, “Don’t.

 I have no intention of recognizing her. It’s not that easy to become a granddaughter of our Ji family.”

“I have the same intention.” Ling Yao said calmly.

“You! You’re a rude little wild girl. Cough, cough, cough…” Old Master Ji was so angry that he started coughing.

Ji Xiuzhen and Ji Xiuping quickly patted his back.

“Dad! Don’t be angry.”

“Hurry up and apologize to Grandfather.” Ji Xiuping glared at Ling Yao angrily.

Ling Yao turned to look at Ji Yanting to see what his attitude was.

Ji Yanting patted Ling Yao’s shoulder, gave her a comforting smile, and looked at Old Master Ji,

 “Dad! Yaoyao just came home and may not be used to it yet. You don’t need to be angry with her.”

Old Master Ji snorted coldly, “What do I have to be angry about? I never intended to recognize her. She’s just an outsider.”

“Yaoyao.” Ling Xuemei reached out and pulled Ling Yao’s clothes, giving her a wink.

She knew her daughter’s temper, but he was her biological grandfather after all. She didn’t want her daughter to be labeled as disrespectful.

Ling Yao gave Ling Xuemei a faint smile and shook her head gently. She had lived through a lifetime.

 If she hadn’t been reborn and changed everything, she and her mother would have ended up just like in her previous life, eventually killed by Zhou Yu.

 And behind all of this, the mastermind was this Old Master Ji of the Ji family.

In her previous life, Zhou Yu had told her that Old Master Ji actually knew all along that she wasn’t Ji Yanting’s biological daughter.

 But he still chose to acknowledge her because he wanted to use her to ease the relationship between him and Ji Yanting and also wanted Zhou Yu to persuade Ji Yanting to marry Zhu Yuhu.

Because of this, Ling Yao couldn’t forgive Old Master Ji and wouldn’t call him grandfather.

Old Master Ji suddenly stood up, glared at Ling Yao with anger, and turned to walk outside.

Ling Yao didn’t even give Old Master Ji a glance. In her previous life, if it weren’t for Old Master Ji’s obstruction, she and her mother wouldn’t have ended up so miserably.

If it weren’t for Old Master Ji’s tacit approval, Zhou Yu wouldn’t have been so reckless.

 Her death in her previous life was directly related to Old Master Ji. So, she would never recognize him as her grandfather.

“Dad!” Ji Xiuping and Ji Xiuzhen quickly followed.

The rest of the Ji family also got up and followed.

Soon, only Ling Yao and the others were left in the living room.

Ji Yanting looked away and looked at Ling Yao with complex emotions.

“Do you think I’m being disrespectful?” Ling Yao met Ji Yanting’s gaze.

Ji Yanting shook his head gently and affectionately rubbed Ling Yao’s head, “You must have your reasons.

Dad respects you.” He didn’t know why his daughter was so averse to her father, but no matter what the reason was, he just wanted his daughter to be happy.

He owed her and her mother too much. Now, he just wanted to make it up to them, make them happy, and not let them suffer any injustice.

“Thank you, Dad!” Ling Yao gave a bright smile. If her father had insisted on making her recognize Old Master Ji, she would have left this house.

After all, she planned to live in the dorms after school started.

“Yaoyao, Mom thinks your behavior just now was inappropriate. After all, he’s your biological grandfather.

 You can’t be so rude.” Ling Xuemei’s expression was very serious.

“Alright, don’t be so serious. Yaoyao isn’t a child anymore. She knows what she’s doing. Come on, I’ll take you to our room.”

 Ji Yanting put his arm around Ling Xuemei’s waist and gently pulled her towards the stairs.

He looked back at Ling Yao and winked at her. His eyes were filled with indulgence and helplessness.

Ling Yao playfully stuck out her tongue. She knew her mother was doing it for her own good, but she would still stick to her own opinion.

“Sister, your room has been prepared. I’ll take you to see it.” Ji Yuanbo looked at Ling Yao with admiration, his eyes filled with affection.

 His sister was so brave. She dared to go against Grandfather.

He had been in the Ji family for so many years, and every time he saw Grandfather, he couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated. Grandfather’s imposing aura was too strong.

“Okay.” Ling Yao smiled slightly and nodded.

Thinking back to her previous life, Zhou Yu had told her how much Ji Yuanming and his two brothers doted on her.

 At that time, she was extremely envious and longed for it.

She wished she had brothers like that. And now, her wish had finally come true.

 In this life, she would never let anyone take away what belonged to her again.

Thinking about this, a hint of coldness flashed in Ling Yao’s eyes.

 If she guessed correctly, Zhou Yu must be suffering in hell right now.
