However, at that time, Dongfang Yu was about to marry Lin Xinxin, who was of ordinary status.
This was enough to prove that their love was genuine.
Hai Xiaotang planned to give them her blessing and stay out of their sight.
But there was no rush now, she would wait patiently for Dongfang Yu to fall in love with Lin Xinxin before he would agree to a divorce.
...
When Hai Xiaotang returned to the Hai Family's old house, Hai Zhiyuan had just finished exercising.
He exercised every morning. At 80 years old, he looked very robust and vigorous.
Hai Xiaotang was the only daughter of his most beloved son so naturally, she was his most cherished granddaughter.
This was one of the reasons why she had been spoiled since childhood, the other was naturally her problematic character.
Seeing her familiar and beloved grandpa, Hai Xiaotang's eyes instantly became a bit sour.
"Grandpa——" she called out happily, full of longing.
Hai Zhiyuan was also very happy to see her, he showered her with affection, "My precious granddaughter, why are you up so early, aren't you sleeping in today?"
Hai Xiaotang loved to sleep in. If she didn't have school, she'd get up very late every day.
"Grandpa, I came especially to see you today, I miss you." Hai Xiaotang held his arm and said coquettishly.
Hai Zhiyuan's mood was extremely good.
"It is indeed rare, that in Xiaotang's heart, there is a place for this old man. I thought you only had Dongfang Yu in your heart."
No, from now on, in her heart, there are only family members, no Dongfang Yu.
Hai Xiaotang looked at him sorrowfully, "Grandpa, the person I love most is you, not him!"
The place he now holds in her heart, is not even as important as the family dog!
"Hahaha..." Hai Zhiyuan heard this and was very pleased, even though he felt it was just sweet talk from his granddaughter to please him.
"Alright, Grandpa knows you still love Dongfang Yu the most, don't worry, Grandpa's not jealous."
See, she said she doesn't like Dongfang Yu anymore, but no one believes her.
"Grandpa, today I have nothing to do, how about I stay at home with you?" Hai Xiaotang changed the topic and talked about something else.
Hai Zhiyuan was of course very happy. He lived alone in the old house, he would love having someone to accompany him every day.
"Yes, of course. If you can stay with Grandpa, Grandpa will be very happy, haha..."
Seeing her grandpa so happy, Hai Xiaotang was also very happy, but also a bit bitter.
Indeed, she was too unfilial in her previous life.
Hai Xiaotang was a mischievous child by nature and could never sit still, but today, she obediently stayed by her grandpa's side all day.
If the old man wanted to write, she would help him grind the ink. She would also play chess with him, chat with him, and watch dramas with him...
In short, she was so well-behaved and filial today that it made the old man very happy.
But it also made the old man wonder, "Xiaotang, did you encounter any problems recently?"
Hai Xiaotang would always behave exceptionally well whenever she got into trouble.
The old man thought she must have caused some trouble again.
Hai Xiaotang guiltily said, "Grandpa, I didn't encounter any problems, I just missed you very much today, so please don't misunderstand."
"Really?" The old man didn't quite believe her.
"Really, I swear!"
"It seems like my precious granddaughter has grown up a lot lately..." Hai Zhiyuan was quite pleased, but he still believed that she had some issues.
It must be that she was wronged and thus came back home seeking warmth.
He knew that her relationship with Dongfang Yu was not good and that this marriage was something she insisted on.
