I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 1037: Life Is So Long, Let’s Just Forget It 10

His voice sounded like it had been crushed by wheels, fragmented like gravel, with threads of sadness spilling inside.

Grandfather Ji swallowed a torrent of curses just like that.

He stared blankly at his grandson. Ji Yebai was someone he watched grow up, for over ten years, he had never seen Ji Yebai so upset.

The old man sighed deeply, lamenting, "What kind of sins have brought us to this..."

Ji Yebai’s long, narrow eyes were reddened, half-kneeling by Grandfather Ji’s window, "It’s my fault, I lost her..."

His girl, he couldn’t find her back.

In country E, he searched for three straight days and nights, barely sleeping, using every resource, yet he just couldn’t find Ning Xixi.

Until today, when he heard the news of Grandfather Ji’s awakening, he flew back home.

"Yebai... once you find Xixi, apologize to her for Grandfather... it’s my useless old bones that have caused harm to you all..." Grandfather Ji was shedding tears of grief.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Ji’s mom walked in, seeing this scene, her eyes reddened as well.

The whole Ji Family knew about Ning Xixi leaving Ji Yebai.

"Anna is here," Ji’s mom said softly, "Dad, she wants to see you."

Grandfather Ji’s voice was weak but firm, "I won’t see her! Tell her to go back from where she came, our Ji Family doesn’t welcome her!"

Anna, who stood outside the door waiting eagerly to meet Ji Yebai’s family, had her smile stiffen.

Why wouldn’t Ji Yebai accept her, why wouldn’t even his family accept her?

Ji’s mom glanced at Anna’s hem outside the door, "Anna, you heard it, Grandfather doesn’t want to see you, we can’t force an old man, can we?"

Anna bit down on her silver teeth, trying to leave a good impression on Ji Family’s people, jesting with a charming smile, "Then I won’t disturb, mom, can White come out? We’ve left things unspoken for days."

Hearing her call her "mom," Ji’s mom felt a surge of anger.

Ning Xixi lived at the Ji Family for over a year, most of the time she still called her aunt, only occasionally shyly calling her mom.

Forcing Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai apart, causing her son such sorrow!

This Anna, who gave her the face? What right does she have to call her mom?

"Miss Anna, you’re from country E, you might not be aware of our Chinese etiquette. Before holding a formal wedding, calling someone else’s mom is considered very rude, please be mindful. Although you are a princess from country E, in China, you still must follow our Chinese rules, don’t you think so?"

Ji’s mom spoke coldly, which differed from her gentleness and care in front of Ning Xixi; at this moment she exhibited the authority and toughness of a Ji Family elder!

Anna smiled awkwardly, "I understand, aunt."

Ji Yebai supported himself with one hand on the ground, stood up, and walked to the doorway.

Anna looked at him joyfully, "White!"

"Who are you?" Ji Yebai looked at her expressionlessly.

Anna felt like she was thrown into an ice cellar, her whole body’s blood froze in that instant, so cold that even her teeth started to chatter.

"Who am I? I’m Anna, don’t you remember me?"

"Don’t remember." Ji Yebai’s expression was indifferent, turning to look at Ji’s mom, "Mom, do I know her?"

Ji’s mom smoothly went along, face unchanged, "Since Xixi left, Yebai has been traumatized, maybe there are some people, some things, he doesn’t remember at all."

Anna was emotionally agitated, "I don’t believe it! You’re pretending, right? White, why do you pretend not to know me?!"
