The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 160 Heirloom Jade Bracelet
Watching everyone go back in groups of three or four, Ji Wanwan stretched her sore neck and prepared to get up and go back to the private space with Xia Li to rest.

As soon as she walked into the small building, Ji Wanwan saw Ji Xing, Xu Siming, Zhou Kai, father and mother who had just left standing in front of her.

Ji Wanwan was slightly startled and realized something was wrong.

She and Xia Li looked at each other and walked forward quickly: "Dad, Mom, Xingxing, you..."

“Grandma…” Pushing through the crowd, Ji Wanwan saw a figure standing in front of everyone.

Under the dim light, Grandma Qi Hao's back looked increasingly hunched, and her desolate and haggard face made it difficult for everyone to take another step forward.

During the meeting, Ji Wanwan deliberately asked Xia Li to dress up in disguise and sit in the position with the most shadows, just because she didn't want Qi Hao's grandmother to find out.

Now that grandma was standing here, I didn’t know whether she recognized Xia Li or for some other reason.

Ever since the battle with the Bai Ze Guild, Qi Hao's coma has become a thorn in everyone's heart. Even if everyone deliberately avoids mentioning it, they will still quietly think of this companion who drives a flashy purple Porsche but has a naive boyish look in various details.

Everyone is trying their best to cover up the fact that Qi Hao is unconscious, but it is just acting after all, how could there be no flaws, especially in front of a grandmother who loves her grandson.

Ji Wanwan knew that this day would come eventually, and she prayed every day that Qi Hao would wake up earlier, before his grandmother discovered the truth. Unfortunately, many times things didn't go as planned.

Grandma Qi Hao's cloudy eyes swept over everyone in front of her. She was familiar with these people's faces, but none of them was her grandson.

Grandma Qi Hao leaned on a cane and walked slowly towards Ji Wanwan with difficulty: "Good boy, tell grandma, is Hao'er in trouble?"

Ji Wanwan moved her lips: "Grandma, Brother Qi Hao is fine, he is fine..."

Before she finished speaking, a tear fell from her grandmother's eyes: "Child, don't lie to me. More than a month ago, I felt empty inside, as if I had lost something precious. Since then, I have never seen Hao'er again. Tell me, did Hao'er have an accident at that time?"

Ji Wanwan's eyes turned red, her throat was choked with sobs, and she couldn't utter a word.

Mother Ji, who has always been soft-hearted, couldn't bear it, so she turned sideways, buried her head in Father Ji's chest, and held back her tears.

Everyone's expressions already explained everything, there was no need for Ji Wanwan to answer in person.

Grandma's face was filled with tears, her thin and withered body trembling slightly: "From the first time you lied to me, I knew you were not telling the truth, but I still held on to hope, imagining that what if my beloved grandson suddenly came back one day?
But I wait and wait...

After waiting for so long, and seeing people arriving in batches, but not one of them being my grandson, I knew that my unrealistic fantasy should be shattered, and I should face the facts. "

Qi Hao's grandmother hammered her chest with a painful look on her face: "I am so useless that I can't even protect the last bloodline of the Qi family! I am sorry for Hao'er, sorry for Hao'er's father, sorry for Hao'er's grandfather, sorry for the ancestors of the Qi family!

I have lived to such an old age, what is the use of this old bone! Why didn’t I die! Damn God! Why did you take away everyone around me? Why did you leave me behind? "

The hoarse voice was like a saw pulling back and forth in everyone's heart, and the waves of heartache made them feel at a loss.

Ji Wanwan's voice trembled: "Grandma..."

Qi Hao's grandmother choked up, her eyes full of sorrow: "Child, tell me where Hao'er is buried? As a grandmother, I should go and see him for the last time..." Ji Wanwan sighed: "Grandma, Brother Qi Hao is not dead, he is really not dead, please believe me!"

She knew that at this moment, if she didn't let her grandmother see Qi Hao with her own eyes, she might really die.

Ji Wanwan took her grandmother's dry hand and led her step by step towards her own private space.

Seeing her grandson lying quietly on the bed, Grandma Qi Hao murmured in disbelief: "Hao'er...Hao'er...my Hao'er..."

After a moment, she reached out and gently touched Qi Hao's cheek.

Feeling the warmth and softness from her fingertips, Grandma Qi Hao's body softened and she fell to the ground.

The joy of regaining what she had lost made her cry loudly: "Child, why didn't you bring me to see Hao'er earlier? Do you know how much I missed him..."

Ji Wanwan knew that her grandmother missed Qi Hao, but she didn't dare to bring her grandmother to see him...

At first, Qi Hao's face was as pale as a dead person. She was afraid that her grandmother would faint after seeing him, and then her sin would be even greater.

Ji Wanwan was speechless: "Grandma, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you and prevented you from seeing Brother Qi Hao.

I was afraid that you would be sad, but I forgot that blood is thicker than water between family members. My deliberate concealment is tearing your heart out."

She leaned over and helped her grandmother to sit down on the bed: "Grandma, please punish me. No matter how you punish me, I will accept it!"

Grandma shook her head and said, "I don't blame you. You have good intentions."

After grandma calmed down a little, Ji Wanwan told her about Qi Hao's current condition and why he was in a coma.

Of course, in order to prevent her grandmother from feeling too distressed, Ji Wanwan still beautified some of the processes.

Upon learning that her grandson had been unconscious due to a head injury in the battle, the grandmother was heartbroken and cried for a long time while hugging Qi Hao.

Later, Ji Wanwan saw that it was getting light, and was afraid that her grandmother, who was too old, could not bear to stay up late, so she forcibly took her back to the suite to rest.

In order to get her grandmother to go back and rest, she also promised Qi Hao's earnest grandmother that she could come to see her grandson at any time.

Before leaving, grandma held Ji Wanwan's hand and said, "Wanwan, my daughter, I want to thank you on behalf of Haoer. Without you, Haoer would definitely not be able to get through this difficult time!
You value Hao'er so much and didn't give up on him in this situation. As a grandmother, I have no way to repay you! I can only give this to you as a thank you!"

Grandma took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Ji Wanwan's hand without hesitation: "This is the heirloom jade bracelet of our Qi family. It was originally meant to be left to Hao'er's wife, but the world is so chaotic nowadays. It doesn't matter whether it's a wife or not, or whether it's a family heirloom or not. As long as Hao'er is fine, it's better than anything else!"

When Ji Wanwan heard that this was to be left for Qi Hao's wife, she was horrified: "Grandma, you can't do that!"

If Qi Hao finds a wife in the future and sees this jade bracelet on her hand, wouldn't that make Qi Hao feel awkward?

But Qi Hao's grandmother patted her hands and stopped her action: "Child, I know what you are thinking, just listen to me..."
