Chapter 494: Say Your Last Words

“Okay, okay.” Jing Hao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“But we’ve been back for a long time. Why didn’t Grandpa come to see us earlier?” Jing Yu asked.
Jing Hai felt that his breathing had become heavier. He closed his eyes to rest for a while before opening them again. Hearing this, he said, “Yuyu, Haohao, can you go out with Grandpa and Grandma first? Let Dad in for a while. Great-grandfather has something to say to Dad.”
Qin Lan understood Jing Hai’s words and wiped her tears. Then, she went forward and held Jing Yu and Jing Hao’s hands. “Baby, be good. Can you ask him this question when we get out?”
“Okay!” Jing Yu and Jing Hao nodded and followed Jing Shao and Qin Lan out.
Jing Chen was quickly called in. He lowered his head and stood by the bed. Looking at Jing Hai’s worsening expression, his heart ached. He shouted hoarsely, “Grandpa…”
“Jing Chen, Grandpa is very gratified to see that you’re managing the company better and better. The only thing I’m worried about is your relationship. It’s already very good that you can get Wan wan back. I only have one request for you, and that is to treat Wan wan well, respect her, and love her… and the two children. Don’t let them down.”
Jing Hai let out a shaky breath and panted slightly. His breathing became heavier.
“Okay.”
Perhaps even without Jing Hai’s reminder, Jing Chen wanted to make up for the debt he owed Su Wan and her son for the past four years, but those four years were already over. No matter how many years there were in the future, there was no way to fill the gaps in the past.
So he would only treat Su Wan and her son twice as well, afraid that he couldn’t give them enough.
“Alright, Grandpa is relieved to hear you agree!” Jing Hai smiled in relief, but he was getting weaker. He waved his hand. “Go get Wan wan to come in.”
When Su Wan entered, tears kept flowing uncontrollably. But when she was about to reach the bed, she suddenly wiped her tears and tried to adjust her emotions.
Because Grandpa didn’t want to see her cry, she couldn’t cry in front of Grandpa.
Su Wan looked at Jing Hai’s sickly face and felt reluctant. She sat at the side and held Jing Hai’s hand. “Grandpa, I’m Wan wan.”
“Child, don’t be sad. Don’t be sad. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the laws of nature. In this world, every one of us will come to this point. I’ve stayed long enough. It’s time for me to go down and accompany your grandmother. I wonder… if she can still recognize me now.”
“No, Grandpa, you even promised to play with Yuyu and Haohao when you’re better. You can’t go back on your word!” Su Wan held back her tears and forced them back. “Grandma definitely won’t forget Grandpa. Grandma accompanied you in starting a business. It was hard and difficult, and you’ve already pushed through it, so Grandma definitely won’t blame you.”
Although they were comforting words, Jing Hai still felt warm inside. He patted Su Wan’s hand and smiled. “Wan wan, Grandpa only hopes that you and Jing Chen can always be fine. You might have been wondering why Jing Chen likes Bai Lian and I insisted that you marry him.”
Su Wan listened silently.
In the past, although she had liked Jing Chen for many years, she did not have a background like Bai Lian’s. At that time, she met Bai Lian who had returned to the country. For the sake of Jing Chen’s happiness, she was willing to quit, but Grandpa would definitely not agree.
She had always thought that Grandpa insisted that she marry Jing Chen because her adoptive mother had saved Jing Hai’s life.
“You must be thinking that I asked you to marry Jing Chen just to repay your adoptive mother’s kindness, right?” Seeing Su Wan nod, Jing Hai continued, “But there are hundreds and thousands of ways to repay her kindness. I can give you a share of the luxury cars, money, villas, and even the company’s shares. Why did I choose this path?”
“Because Wan wan is kind and innocent. Only by being with Jing Chen can she be happy for the rest of her life. Jing Chen is good at everything except for relationships. Since he has decided on you, it will be for the rest of his life. That’s why it’s most reliable for Grandpa to ask you to marry Jing Chen!”
“Grandpa knows that you’ve experienced a lot over the years, but it’s fine as long as the ending is good. The reason why I didn’t let Jing Chen marry Bai Lian is because Grandpa has seen many kinds of girls over the years. Bai Lian is too scheming and wants too much. She won’t be happy with Jing Chen.”
