After the surgery, there came a long period of recuperation and treatment.
Grandma was incredibly strong - willed. Every day, she faced the illness with an optimistic and cheerful attitude.
Apart from painting and doing live - broadcasts, Grandma had a new hobby recently.
Reading online novels.
Since she had presbyopia, I taught her how to use an audiobook app to listen to novels.
Grandma learned it quickly.
I praised her for being smart.
She smiled and said, "Learning is a lifelong pursuit. Only by constantly learning new knowledge can we avoid being left behind by the world and enjoy more pleasures."
Well.
When I get old, I also want to be a trendy old lady like Grandma.
I recommended "Falling into Demonic Path", a classic horror novel that had won numerous awards.
Grandma listened to it with great interest and asked me how to tip the author.
I said, "Actually, you've met the author. She's Zhou Yinyin, Cheng Yu's wife."
As a result, Grandma pestered me to get an autograph from the author.
Thankfully, I had a good relationship with Zhou Yinyin. When I went for a prenatal check - up, I managed to get an autograph.
There was an amusing incident during this prenatal check - up. Zhou Yinyin accidentally let slip something, making Cheng Yu think it was his wife having the check - up.
Cheng Yu was as happy as a fool, thinking he was going to be a father. But his wife's cute reaction of "you're daydreaming" almost made him spit blood. I couldn't hold back my laughter...
I personally handed the book with the author's autograph to Grandma.
She was lying on a wicker chair, and I was sitting on the sofa beside her.
Grandma said, "The doctor said I can live for at least a few more months... I'm so happy that I can see my great - grandchild before I go."
I fought back my tears and forced a smile. "Can you be a bit more ambitious? The doctor said you can live up to one or two more years!"
Grandma said, "I'm content. I'm not greedy for life. I have so much wealth, raised so many outstanding descendants, and even got to be accompanied by my idol in my old age. My dream has come true... Every extra day is a bonus. When the time comes, I'll go without any regrets!"
I nervously held her hand. "You're not thinking about euthanasia again, are you? Please think about me! Grandma, I really don't want to see you go..."
Grandma laughed heartily. "Don't worry, Xingzai. I won't do that now!"
That's life. Things that once made us cry can eventually be talked about with a smile.
Grandma said, "For a long time, I've always felt like I've lived a failed life. I raised my grandson with great hardship, but he was so cold - hearted. It really broke my heart. I guarded the family and the business all my life without really living for myself. It felt like I'd just wasted my time on this earth. When I found out I had cancer, it was only natural for me to feel hopeless..."
I said, "Rong Bo isn't cold - hearted!"
Grandma said, "I didn't expect it either. I always thought he married for the company shares. It wasn't until the day you and Rong Bo were arguing about divorce and forced him to tell the truth that I found out the boy had already heard the news that I'd applied for euthanasia..."
At this point, her expression was a mix of touch and self - blame. "It turns out he knew from the start how much I loved him and hoped he'd be happy. So even if it was an act, he put his heart into it just to convince me and make me feel at ease. He's not good at expressing himself. He couldn't ask me not to end my life, so he could only use this clumsy way to stubbornly try to keep me..."
That's just Rong Bo.
His way of expressing feelings is so subtle that people who don't know him well just think he's cold - blooded.
In fact, he's a very affectionate man.
I couldn't help but lower my head and wipe away my tears. "Now you know that the guy who seems cold - hearted actually loves you so deeply."
Grandma said, "Now you know this secret too."
I said, "What secret?"
Grandma said, "Rong Bo is the leader of the family and the company. He doesn't show his emotions easily to establish his authority and give people the illusion of being invincible. So the more painful he is, the more he has to act like it doesn't matter. Even the people closest to him can hardly notice."
I sighed. "He's so good at hiding that he even fooled you."
Grandma said, "Wasn't he forced to confess his true feelings in public by you? Don't underestimate your potential. I believe one day this boy will take off his mask and only laugh freely and cry without caring about his image in front of one person. I hope he can meet such a person in his life, and I also hope - "
She looked at me and said, "That person is you."
I: "..."
When my due date arrived, my son was still taking his time and didn't show any signs of coming out.
As an impatient person, I asked the doctor to give me an induction injection.
Rong Bo didn't allow it, and the doctor also said to wait.
We waited for ten days, and he still didn't come out.
I climbed the stairs and walked so fast that it was almost like a race, but the little master still wasn't in a hurry.
Later, when no one was looking.
I climbed onto the bed and jumped a few times.
Just as I was jumping happily, Rong Bo pushed the door open and roared at the top of his voice, "Song Wenxing!"
Oh no.
I was so scared that I did a split.
The amniotic fluid started to gush out...
Rong Bo's face instantly turned as pale as paper!
He rushed me to the emergency room in a hurry. I gave birth to our son just a few minutes after lying on the bed.
When Grandma held her great - grandson, she suddenly stood up from the wheelchair as if all her pain had disappeared. She said she wanted to give all her company shares to the great - grandson and also wanted to give him properties and wineries...
I quickly said, "It's not fair. How can you give everything to just him? You have more than one great - grandson!"
Then I looked meaningfully at Ke Ran.
Ke Ran's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at me gratefully.
Then I said maliciously, "I'm aiming to have another child in three years! You have to save some for the little great - grandson!"
Grandma held the chubby great - grandson and laughed from ear to ear. "Xingzai is right! You're right!"
Ke Ran: Glaring at me!
I sneered. "Let you always trick me before!"
My father - in - law suggested that we take one character from each of the parents' names for the child's name, something like Rong Xing.
For some reason, I thought of "Patrick Star" and blurted out, "Rong Daxing!"
I immediately got eye - rolls from Rong Bo and the whole family.
I timidly tried, "Rong Xiaoxing?"
Finally, it was Grandma, the romantic and literary old lady, who named the child: Rong Muxing.
It meant that Rong Bo would always love Song Wenxing.
Rong Bo was quite satisfied.
I thought it sounded a bit too girly.
Would this name affect a boy's manliness?
However, the truth proved that I was over - thinking.
When Rong Muxing was three months old, his sleeping posture was quite "bossy".
Have you ever seen a baby sleep with his hands behind his head?
That leisurely and self - assured air.
He was just like a retired senior official!
Later, Rong Bo also noticed.
The little guy was sucking on his bottle, and his chubby little feet were very restless.
He even crossed his legs in his father's arms.
As he drank milk, his ankles swayed rhythmically.
Grandma laughed and said, "Muxing is so cool. Who does he take after?"
Rong Bo looked at me. "Who else could it be?"
I: ...
I've been out of the limelight for a long time, but there are still legends about me in the world.
All over the world, Mom Xing is the coolest.
