That night, Jiang Yaoyao received a call from Jiang Hongzhou.
"I've booked you a flight back to the capital the morning after tomorrow. I've given you tomorrow to deal with any school matters that need handling…"
"What if I don't go back?" Jiang Yaoyao purposely interrupted him.
"You're out of line!" Jiang Hongzhou was indeed infuriated, "Even if your grandmother wasn't good to you back then, she's on her deathbed now. As her granddaughter, won't you even look at her one last time?"
Jiang Yaoyao let out a chuckle, "If she's going to die, what's the point of me seeing her? Can I bring her back to life? With that said, I have even less reason to go back. Let her be!"
"Insolent!" Jiang Hongzhou thundered, "She is your grandmother, your elder. You are utterly disrespectful…"
Jiang Yaoyao hung up directly.
Jiang Hongzhou called again shortly after, and she hung up again.
After several times, she turned off her phone, annoyed.
The world was finally quiet.
