Chapter 404: She Brought It On Herself

His eyes were blurry and he could not see many things clearly, but he actually knew very well.
His second daughter-in-law was quiet and gentle. She did everything nicely and was very empathetic. Back then, because of her background, many friends around him advised him to be careful. If his son really married the daughter of a gambler, this family would not be able to be at peace.
He was indeed a little worried before he met Yu He, but after seeing her, he knew that those people were wrong.
It was not that Yu He was out of her league with the Zhang Family, but that Zhang Ji was lucky.
With his scheming personality, it would probably be very difficult to find anyone else who treated him sincerely other than Yu He.
Yu He did not stay in the study for long. She left her cell phone behind and went out.
He was old, and the happiest thing for him was to have a junior chatting with him.
Jing Yao did not mention Zhang Li and her two uncles at all. She only told Zhang Hui about Liang Jing.
Zhang Hui couldn’t stop smiling when he heard how Liang Jing angered his father. He kept saying that he hadn’t seen his granddaughter and great-grandson since he returned to Lin City.
When Jing Yao heard that, she said, “Grandpa, why don’t you come to Bi City to stay for a while? Liang Xun and I have been busy these few days. Only the aunties are at home with Little Dumpling. He’s already throwing a tantrum. He definitely won’t throw a tantrum when Grandpa comes.”
Zhang Hui’s smile gradually dissipated.
He looked at Jing Yao with a complicated expression. His granddaughter was very similar to Yu He in some aspects. They were both very sensitive and empathetic. She was very good at taking care of others.
At the thought of why she had developed such a personality, Zhang Hui’s pity for his daughter decreased.
At the end of the day, Zhang Li only had herself to blame.
Back then, she chose to abandon her family for Jing Mo, and then she chose to listen to Jing Mo and mistreat Jing Yao. Even if she was imprisoned now, it was her own choice. She stubbornly chose to draw a line with Jing Mo in such a way that both sides would suffer.
Zhang Hui sighed slightly.
Jing Yao looked at him worriedly and probed, “Grandpa, are you afraid that the journey is too far? It’s fine. Liang Xun and 1 will come over to pick you up. We’ll drive slower. We’ll reach Bi City in a few hours.”
Zhang Hui still hadn’t made up his mind. He was very unwilling to move away when he was old, but Jing Yao’s next words dispelled his doubts.
“Grandpa, we’re going to have our wedding soon. The emcee said that we have to find an elder to send me to Liang Xun’s side. I want to ask Grandpa to walk with me. Is that okay?” After saying that, Jing Yao pursed her lips slightly and looked at Zhang Hui nervously.
Zhang Hui’s heart softened.
How did Zhang Li bear to abuse such an adorable child back then?
Zhang Hui no longer hesitated. He said, “Why not? However, you don’t have to pick me up. Go do your own things. I’ll get your uncle to send me over.”
Jing Yao nodded hurriedly. The old and the young chatted while playing with Little Dumpling.
Liang Xun greeted Zhang Hui at first and didn’t say anything else. He just sat beside Jing Yao and watched her chat with Grandpa quietly.
The cell phone was far away and had a wide range of view. Liang Xun was also in the camera.
Grandpa took in Liang Xun’s current state and couldn’t help but think of the first time Zhang Li brought Jing Mo home.
He was very serious about his daughter. He had made sufficient preparations that day when he found out that his daughter had a boyfriend who happened to be a student he had once sponsored.
He was not someone who only looked at family backgrounds. He valued character more.
He thought that the daughter he raised would definitely have good taste in people.
However, after interacting with him for the first time, he knew that Jing Mo was not a good person. At that time, he did not let his daughter separate from Jing Mo.
He got his two sons to investigate Jing Mo’s past. Jing Mo was impeccable in terms of learning, but he was bad in other aspects.
Jing Mo was an unscrupulous person for money. It was fine for him to love money, but he had violated many principles for money. A bystander could tell at a glance why he was with Zhang Li.
Moreover, they had also found out about Xuan Ling’s existence back then. However, Xuan Ling and Jing Mo had been separated for a long time at that time, so they did not discover any clues.
Zhang Hui tried to persuade Zhang Li nicely, saying that Jing Mo was not suitable for her, but Zhang Li did not listen. Even though Zhang Hui had put in front of her the things that Jing Mo had gone against his principles to earn money, Zhang Li still supported Jing Mo.
At that time, she said something that Zhang Hui remembered for more than 10 years.. She said, “You’ve never been poor, so you don’t understand what the poor will do for money?”
