Chapter 17 The CEO's Secret Lover 16
The old lady nodded slightly, thinking of her husband's destroyed book in her heart, she couldn't help but shed tears, "Our old man left this for me. This is the last trace of me and him. I have contacted, but now I am ruined by that short-sighted person, I am really, really sad."

"Grandma." Xia Ling smiled, placed her other hand gently on her chest, and said in a bright tone: "As long as your heart is still beating, grandpa will always be in your heart. So you must protect him well. Only your own heart will do!"

Pei Jing, who was standing in the room like a cloud of air, saw Xia Ling so patiently comforting grandma, and his anxiety and irritation became less.

He didn't dare to speak for fear of making the old lady angry again.

So I could only pretend to be a transparent person in the house, not daring to move.

"You're right." Mrs. Pei raised her hand to wipe her tears, and nodded to Xia Ling, "That's right, as long as my wife's heart is not dead, the old man will live in my heart and will never leave."

Xia Ling asked: "Grandma, can I read that book? I used to know that grandma has the habit of basking in the sun without being disturbed by others, so I have never dared to go. I have always been curious about what is written in this book, so that you can't put it down. Always wanted to see it."

In the past, Mrs. Pei regarded this book as a treasure, and the servants had to wear gloves when reading to it.

But now that it was destroyed, Immortal Ren Daluo couldn't save it, so he simply waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to bring it to the curious Xia Ling.

"Miss Xia, here you are." The butler put on white gloves and presented Xia Ling with a book.

Xia Ling took the book, glanced at the dry and wrinkled cover, and read: "Little Duckweed?"

She looked at the old lady who was eagerly looking at the book, bent her eyes, and asked playfully, "Why is it called Little Duckweed?"

The old lady who heard the question suddenly became shy, and her smile was a little shy, "Grandma's name is duckweed. She was not in good health when she was a child, so the old family named it duckweed."

"It turned out to be a love letter!" Xia Ling joked with a smile, and continued to turn the pages to read, trying to recognize the blurred handwriting that was soaked in water.

It wrote the meeting of two people, thinking that it should be the love note written by the old man to Grandma Pei.

She read the encounter process written above, and while reading, she asked her grandma to help her recall the scene.

While listening, Xia Ling was feeling romantic and interesting, which made Grandma Pei laugh from ear to ear.

Because the book is too old, the paper has become a little fragile, so Xia Ling didn't dare to touch it again, and handed the book to the housekeeper, "If you don't mind, I will take the book from grandpa. This way It’s such a pity that it was destroyed, I’ll go see where I can find help to restore it, and it’s just one of grandma’s thoughts.”

"Son, you have a heart." Mrs. Pei nodded and sighed: "Grandma has not loved you in vain all these years."

The old lady turned her head slowly, looked at her grandson who had been standing silently with her eyes, and her tone became serious and somewhat scolding, "I'm tired. You take Lingling to eat something, here it is From now on, if the child hasn’t even had a bite to eat, she will be busy with me, the old lady, so take good care of her!"

"Yes. I understand, grandma, please have a good rest." Pei Jing nodded obediently, then turned to look at Xia Ling who was sitting beside the bed, "Let's go."

Xia Ling got up and asked Grandma Pei a few more words before following Pei Jing obediently out of the house.

As soon as he walked up the stairs to the hall on the first floor, Pei Jing blocked Xia Ling's way.

"What do you mean?" Xia Ling looked at Pei Jing indifferently.

He stared at Xia Ling sincerely, and asked, "I want to know, what happened today? Why did grandma become like this, and how did you happen to appear here at this time."

Without explaining, Xia Ling took out her mobile phone from her bag and clicked on the passage Ruan Ning recorded for Pei Jing to listen to.

"From Ruan Ning's point of view, the truth of the matter is this." She took back her phone, looked indifferent, turned her head and waved to the servant, "Please make me a pot of tea, I thirsty."

Looking at Xia Ling who was sitting on the sofa waiting for tea nonchalantly, Pei Jing chased after him, sat on the sofa opposite Xia Ling, and continued to ask: "So, you admit it?"

"Miss Xia, your tea."

Xia Ling took the cup of tea that was poured by the servant. With a dry mouth, she drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, leaned comfortably on the soft sofa, and said "hum" in a nasal voice, "I was planning to drink it tomorrow." I came to see grandma. After all, my health made grandma worry. But Rong Ting called me and said that he needed me to attend his brother's wedding tomorrow. So I changed the date temporarily, and it happened to be free today, so come today .”

The timeline is real, but for a different purpose.

Xia Ling deliberately left the rubber band, just to see if Ruan Ning noticed it.

If she didn't find it, then she would take the initiative to come over and prompt her to find out.

"After I came, I saw my grandma basking in the sun, and Ruan Ning was inside again. I was afraid of a conflict, and she went to you to cry again, so I planned to wait for her to go and talk to grandma after she left." Xia Ling put down the glass , looked up at Pei Jing, folded her arms across her chest, and raised her legs, "I just watched her carry this or something over, then picked up the book on the table, but the book was snatched by the aunt who was reading again , the pot flew away and hit the ground."

Pei Jing frowned and asked, "No more?"

"Well, it's gone." Xia Ling innocently blinked her big bright eyes twice, "Then I heard grandma scolding, and then I saw grandma fell to the ground, so I rushed over, and then you came .”

Pei Jing, who was sitting opposite, observed Xia Ling's expression during the whole process of Xia Ling's speech.

Her big eyes were flickering, and her speaking speed was always the same, and even her tone didn't fluctuate, as if she didn't care.

It's not like lying.

"Okay, I'll tell you. If you want to eat, I'll take you to eat something." Pei Jing sighed and stood up.

Xia Ling took out her phone and took a look at it, and saw an "ok" expression from Rong Ting 10 minutes ago displayed on the screen.

"It's possible." Xia Ling took out the wrapped "little duckweed" and patted Pei Jing, "And I want to find out if anyone knows the publishing house, and I want to help grandma realize her dream. thought."

In the private lounge of the equestrian field, Ruan Ning, whose eyes were swollen from crying, was sitting on the sofa, holding the warm milk Rong Ting gave her, gently blowing the heat from the milk cup, talking hoarsely to the person sitting beside her. Rong Ting said gratefully: "Thank you."
