Chapter 4

Mrs. Huo at the side finally came to her senses. She pulled Jiang Jingzhu to sit next to her and said with a serious face, “Jingzhu, what are you doing? If you really have any difficulties and need grandma’s help, just tell me directly. If nothing else, just because you saved grandma’s life, how can grandma not help you. What’s the point of begging and kneeling like that?”

Although he spoke sternly, he was gentle as he took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant and wiped the little girl’s tears.

Mrs. Wang also advised, “Miss Jiang, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. The old lady is a good person. She will never stand idly by if she can help.”

After Jiang Jingzhu sat down, she slowly calmed down. Knowing that her actions just now were a bit extreme, she apologized to Mrs. Huo somewhat embarrassedly.

“I’m sorry, Grandma Huo, I scared you. I just got so excited because I really had no other choice.”

Mrs. Huo patted her hands and comforted her, “Silly girl, I’ve been through a lot, so how could I be scared by such a small thing? But you, tell me what difficulties you have encountered.”

So Jiang Jingzhu told him that her mother had kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant, which would cost a large sum of money.

After hearing that all they needed was money and a kidney, Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry, little girl. I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll have someone contact an expert in this field and look for a suitable kidney source. As for the cost, don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”

After hearing what Mrs. Huo said, Jiang Jingzhu was so grateful that she didn’t know what to do. When she wanted to kneel down again to express her gratitude, the old lady quickly grabbed her hand.

“You better behave yourself, girl. If you do this again, you’re going to shorten my life.”

Seeing Mrs. Huo’s dissatisfaction, Jiang Jingzhu didn’t dare to kneel anymore. She solemnly promised Mrs. Huo, “Grandma Huo, don’t worry, I won’t take your money for nothing. I’ll write you an IOU and work as hard as I can to pay you back as soon as possible. I have no way to repay your kindness. In the future, if you have anything to do, just tell me and I’ll be there whenever you call.”

Seeing the little girl’s serious look, Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Wang beside her couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh, you look like you want to marry me, why don’t you become my granddaughter-in-law? Then I can tell you to do something justified.”

Originally, she was joking with Jiang Jingzhu, but Mrs. Huo felt that this might actually work.

She clapped her hands and ignored Jiang Jingzhu, whose face had already turned red. Instead, she promoted her grandson, who was still single. “Jingzhu, grandma has a grandson who is so handsome. Although he is a little old, he knows how to love people. You see, you two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.”

The more the old lady talked, the more excited she became. She turned around and asked Mrs. Wang to get Huo Xiao’s photo.

Mrs. Wang knew that no one could persuade the old lady to change her decision. Besides, the eldest young master was indeed single. He had never had a girlfriend since he was a child. He either studied or worked all day long.

He is good-looking and has a good family background. Logically, he should be surrounded by women, but he is never seen with anyone. The old lady is very worried about this, but the young master is unmoved.

Now the old lady wants to bring them together. She thinks that although Miss Jiang’s family background is not good, the Huo family does not need a marriage alliance given their status and position.

Moreover, Miss Jiang was filial, pretty, and had saved an old lady before, so she thought this was a feasible idea and went to get the photos.

Jiang Jingzhu was shocked by what Mrs. Huo said. If she understood correctly, the person Mrs. Huo wanted to match her with was the richest man in the country, the president of the Huo Group.

She and he were simply from two different worlds, so she declined directly, “Grandma Huo, I am very grateful for your love, but Mr. Huo and I are from two different worlds. There are many girls with better family backgrounds than me, so please don’t tease me.”

“Silly child, don’t underestimate yourself, you are also very good. As for the family background you mentioned, the last thing our Huo family lacks now is money, and we have no plans for marriage. Moreover, we are destined to be together as grandparents and grandchildren, and grandma really wants you to be my grandson’s wife.”

The old lady took the photo album handed over by Wang Sao and opened it in front of Jiang Jingzhu, “Look, this is the photo of Xiao from childhood to adulthood. Isn’t he handsome since he was young?”

Seeing Jiang Jingzhu’s eyes flashing with surprise when she saw Huo Xiao’s photo, the old lady continued to persuade her, “Think about it, your mother’s treatment will cost a lot of money in the future. You haven’t graduated yet, and even if you are split into several parts, you can’t make so much money all at once. But if you marry Xiao, you will be a member of our Huo family, and you can use our money, connections and resources as you like.”

The old lady paused and continued, “Besides, our family has a simple relationship, and there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I am the only direct elder in the family. As long as I am here, no one will bully you, even my own grandson. Jingzhu, please think about it.”

Jiang Jingzhu’s determined heart hesitated when Grandma Huo talked about her mother’s illness. What Grandma Huo said was absolutely right. Even if her mother’s illness could be cured now, it didn’t mean that she was cured.

Later on, she still had to have follow-up examinations and take medicine, which were all huge expenses. She had borrowed money from Grandma Huo before the operation, and now she hadn’t even paid it back, let alone borrowing again.

She didn’t know what to do for a moment, and she couldn’t rely on the Chu family.

But if she really married into the Huo family, all these problems would be easily solved.

Jiang Jingzhu just lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination.

“Grandma Huo, I promise you that I will marry your grandson as long as he agrees to marry me.”

Seeing that Jiang Jingzhu agreed, she was very happy.

Seeing her agree, the old lady was very happy. She smiled and assured Jiang Jingzhu, “Girl, don’t worry. If you and Xiao really can’t get along after marriage, you can divorce, and grandma will compensate you then.”

Although she said so, in her opinion, no matter whether it was Xiao or Jingzhu, since they decided to get married, they would not easily divorce. Of course, she said this to leave a way out for Jiang Jingzhu.

Jiang Jingzhu just smiled and nodded to show that she understood.

And just like that, it was settled.

When the other person in the case learned about this, he just asked someone to investigate everything about Jiang Jingzhu. In the end, after reading the results of the investigation, he did not refuse.

He was usually too busy to spend time with his grandmother, and he didn’t have anyone he wanted to marry. But since his grandmother liked her, there was nothing wrong with marrying her.
