Bai Ran knew that Xia Jinqi was giving her a chance to meet old master JI alone.
When she reached the courtyard downstairs, Bai ran saw the old man sitting on the Rattan Chair drinking tea from afar. She furrowed her beautiful brows and took a deep breath to calm herself down before walking over.
When she was only three steps away from Ji Heng, Bai ran suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Hello, old master JI. I'm Bai Jiutian's grandson, Bai ran. Sorry to disturb you... " Bai ran said respectfully. Every word she said was after careful consideration.
When Ji Heng heard this, he turned around and glanced at Bai ran.
The Servant girl was quite good-looking. She was delicate and well-behaved, fair and clean. She didn't look like a rough man like Bai Jiutian when he was young.
His first impression was not bad. Ji Heng's attitude was naturally not that bad, but his tone was still not very good. "I heard that you want to see me? "
"Yes. Old Master Ji, I came here this time because my grandfather asked me to see you personally. I must return this to you personally. " After saying this, Bai ran took out a piece of white jade and handed it over respectfully.
Ji Heng's tiger-like body trembled. His gaze was filled with a sense of familiarity... ...
His trembling hand, which was already covered in age spots, picked up the piece of white jade.
This was... ... This was the token of love that Xiaofu's mother had given him back then ...
It was the day that Bai Jiutian went to the casino to win money and conveniently took it from Ji Heng.
After so many years, Ji Heng had thought that he would never be able to get it back in this lifetime, but who knew... ...
As if holding the most precious treasure in the world, Ji Heng stroked the piece of white jade one by one, his eyes red.
The world only knew that he was a stingy person. They thought that he had placed the sign at the entrance of the Casino only because Bai Jiutian had won the casino's money. Little did they know that Ji Heng only cared about this piece of jade.
Bai Ran stepped aside and told her everything that her grandfather had told her "Grandfather said that this jade pendant must be returned to you. He was supposed to come in person, but as spring passed and autumn came, his body was no longer the same as before. He couldn't travel far, so he asked me to do it for him. "
"..."Ji Heng didn't say anything. All he could see was the white jade, and his eyes lost focus. It was as if he didn't hear what Bai ran was saying at all. He was just immersed in his boundless memories.
Bai Ran knew that he was definitely listening.
And there were many more things that grandfather had told her.
"grandfather often told me that if he hadn't received your help in Macau back then, he wouldn't have had the money to go back and accomplish such a feat. "He took this jade pendant back then because he wanted to remember your great kindness forever. Now that it's returned to its rightful owner, if grandfather JI is willing to let go of past grudges, then our Bai family will be willing to be on good terms with the JI family for generations to come and protect the JI family forever! "
Bai Ran's every word was filled with determination.
Every time her grandfather told her these things, his expression would be especially solemn.
She knew that although her grandfather had enjoyed glory for most of his life, this matter had always been weighing on his heart.
Back then, it was indeed because he had made a windfall with old master JI that he had a good way out when he returned, and that was how the later Bai family came into being.
Bai Ran had always remembered this point.
"Are you serious? " Ji Heng's grandfather suddenly came back to his senses, and his burning gaze landed on Bai ran.
The eternal guardian of the JI family... ... This point was simply too alluring ! !
