Watching as everyone departed in twos and threes, Ji Wanwan moved her stiff, swollen neck and prepared to stand up and return to her private space with Xia Li to rest.
As she just walked into the building, Ji Wanwan saw Ji Xing, Xu Siming, Zhou Kai, Father Ji, and Mrs. Ji, who had already left earlier, all standing before her.
Ji Wanwan was slightly startled, sensing that something was amiss.
After exchanging a glance with Xia Li, she quickened her pace and approached, "Dad, Mom, Xingxing, what's...?"
"Grandma..." Pushing through the crowd, Ji Wanwan saw the figure standing in front of everyone.
Under the dim lights, Qi Hao's Grandma's silhouette seemed more hunched over than ever, and her melancholic, haggard face made it difficult for anyone to take another step forward.
During the meeting, Ji Wanwan had Xia Li disguise herself and sit in the darkest shadow specifically to avoid being spotted by Qi Hao's Grandma.
