After Divorcing, She Became An Absolute Beauty

Panda Novel

Du Jiuyuan remained as silent as before. Grandmother Ji saw through her determination and thought of a final solution.

Du Jiuyuan rejected Grandmother Ji's good intentions of letting her stay for dinner. Her aunt was still waiting for her at home, so Grandmother Ji did not force her to stay. There were some rules that she had to set up.

"Uncle Fu." Right after Du Jiuyuan left, Grandmother Ji called Uncle Fu over.

The old lady sat on the sofa and propped up her walking stick with one hand. "Uncle Fu, let me ask you. What exactly happened during my absence?"

Uncle Fu was a long time staff of the Ji family. Back then, it was the old lady who had personally recruited him into the Ji family. Seeing that he was quick-witted and capable, she had always treated him well.

"No, nothing major happened!"

The sight of Old Madam Ji making things difficult for Du Jiuyuan had already become a common occurrence in the Ji family. Moreover, Grandmother Ji had left for five years and never returned during this period. Old Madam Ji had always been in charge of the Ji family. All the servants eventually listened to her and ignored Du Jiuyuan.

"Don't play word games with me. Nothing happened that made Du Jiuyuan want a divorce?" The Grandmother snorted coldly.

Uncle Fu's thoughts changed. The atmosphere in the Ji family was about to change. Previously, Ji Jingchen had taught him a lesson by saying that Du Jiuyuan was the 'madam' of the Ji family. From that moment on, Uncle Fu understood that Du Jiuyuan's status in the family would not be the same anymore and she could no longer be easily bullied.

"Grandmother Ji, indeed, nothing major has happened. Old Madam's daily sarcasm and Miss Yingxue's constant harassment is a common occurrence with Young Madam." Uncle Fu took a gamble. He did not make a complaint, instead, he unintentionally revealed the grievances that Du Jiuyuan had suffered in the Ji family.

The Grandmother sized Uncle Fu up for a long while before waving her hand. "Got it. Return to your work!"

"Okay," Uncle Fu replied. He did not know if he had done the right thing.

At first, he had resisted treating Du Jiuyuan unfairly, but under Old Madam Ji's instructions, he could only slowly turn a blind eye toward Du Jiuyuan.

The old lady sat on the sofa for a long time, her mind filled with thoughts. She stood up and walked out of the room with her walking stick.

In the Ji family ancestral hall, Ji Jingchen wore an Italian handmade suit and knelt in front of the Ji family ancestral tablet. There were three half-burned incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the tablet.

The old lady walked in with her walking stick. First, she burned incense to her ancestors and worshipped them. Upon entering the ancestral hall, this rule of paying respects must be obeyed.

"Do you know why Yuanyuan wants to divorce you?" In terms of the old lady's favorite people in the Ji family, the first was Du Jiuyuan, and the second was her grandson. If it were for anyone else, she would never be willing to punish him by kneeling.

Ji Jingchen raised his head. "I don't know."

"You... are you trying to piss me off? You don't even know why your own wife wants to divorce you." The old lady was infuriated by his righteous and arrogant attitude.

"Grandmother, I really don't know why she wants a divorce. What I know for sure is that I won't allow it to happen." Ji Jingchen was a little helpless. He really did not know. All he knew is that Du Jiuyuan wanted a divorce all of a sudden, without any warning.

Ji Jingchen paused. Before the old lady could speak, he continued, "I, Ji Jingchen, am not that easy to manipulate. When she loves me, she wants to marry me. Now that she doesn't love me, she wants a divorce. Such a thing will not happen."

When the old lady heard this, she was so angry that she used her walking stick to hit Ji Jingchen's back, "You b*stard, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think that I let you marry Yuanyuan because I was indebted to her grandfather back then? With your personality, who else can you marry if you miss out on a good girl like Yuanyuan?" The old lady wanted to hit Ji Jingchen on the head with her walking stick and see if his brain was full of mush.

Ji Jingchen did not dodge nor contradict the old lady.

"After the wedding, I will ask your mother to move out with Tang Yingxue. You have so many properties, just pick one for them and let them never bother Yuanyuan again. Do you hear me?"

"She is not my mother." Ji Jingchen's deep voice seemed to carry endless desolation.

"Don't talk about those things. I asked you if you heard me?" The old lady took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "I don't have many years left to live. You have to treat Yuanyuan well. Otherwise, I won't be able to face her grandfather in the afterlife."

Du Jiuyuan's grandfather was called Du Sheng. He was actually the old lady's first lover. Unfortunately, their relationship was too bitter. They had been apart for a lifetime. Vows of love between them passed with the wind.

"I understand, grandmother," Ji Jingchen said sincerely as he gathered his thoughts.

The old lady seemed to have recalled the past, and her eyes were filled with guilt and longing.. "Don't embarrass our ancestors!" Even though she said that, she actually cherished her grandson in her heart.
