On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

In the following days, Ji Yuan remained quiet.

He stopped calling or messaging Ji Yunxi, and locked himself in his bedroom, refusing to go out.

He didn't touch a single bite of the food the servants brought in.

She began a hunger strike and became emaciated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji Yuan felt that as long as she was sick, Ji Yunxi would definitely come back and Ji Yunxi would not really ignore her.

If Ji Yunxi didn't want her anymore, she would have nothing in this world.

What is the meaning of life?

Seeing her like this, the servant was afraid that something might happen and he would not be able to explain, so he called Ji Yunxi and told her about Ji Yuan's situation.

When Ji Yunxi heard that Ji Yuan was on a hunger strike and was too weak to get up due to hunger, she hurried over with her family doctor to visit Ji Yuan.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan's condition was not serious and he gradually woke up after receiving intravenous fluids.

When she saw Ji Yunxi coming, she turned her head away and ignored Ji Yunxi out of spite.

"What are you here for?"

"mom……"

When Ji Yunxi opened her mouth, her voice was choked with sobs. She held back the soreness in the corners of her eyes and wanted to help Ji Yuan get up to eat some rice porridge, but Ji Yuan pushed her away.

"Stop pretending to be so hypocritical with me! Don't you control me and disown me as your mother?"

"Mom... please stop making trouble. Your body is your own. Why are you doing this?" Ji Yunxi put the rice porridge on the bedside table to prevent it from being knocked over by Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan snorted, his tone was harsh, "Yes, this body is my own. What do I want to do? It's none of your business. I can die if I want to, and I can live if I want to! Didn't you let me fend for myself here? If I die, you can get what you want and get rid of me, your mean and cunning adoptive mother who is a burden to you!"

"You are the eldest daughter of the Mu family now. Who am I? I am just a human trafficker who stole you! How can someone like me be worthy of being your mother? Don't call me mom. I can't bear it!"

"Mom...do you have to do this? Are you satisfied only when you torture my heart, make me uneasy, and see me sad? Have you ever thought that it is your desire for control and your deliberate difficulties that make me unwilling to get close to you? You know, I can't just ignore you! I just want to be quiet for a while, otherwise I'm afraid my emotions will collapse!"

Ji Yunxi covered her chest with her hands. It felt painful and blocked there, as if a thousand-pound rock was pressing down on it, making it difficult to breathe.

Ji Yuan looked at the tears rolling down Ji Yunxi's eyes, and slowly lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes gradually became moist.

"I'm afraid...you'll leave me...I'll have nothing but you...you'll be the only one in my life..."

Ji Yuan covered his face and sobbed.

Ji Yunxi threw herself on Ji Yuan and hugged her tightly, "Mom... no matter what, I will never leave you! Let's find a way to live together that is comfortable for both of us, isn't it? Don't torture each other like this! I don't want much, as long as my loved ones are healthy and safe, and the people I care about and love live in harmony without conflicts and disputes, I will be satisfied!"

Ji Yuan slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Ji Yunxi's trembling shoulder. He gritted his teeth to suppress his tears and nodded slightly.

"Can you still forgive me and accept me?"

Seeing that Ji Yuan finally gave in and was willing to back down, Ji Yunxi raised her head happily, "Of course! No matter what time, you are my mother! The most important person in my heart."

Ji Yuan sobbed and hugged Ji Yunxi tightly.

"Yun Xi, Mommy can't live without you."

The next day, Ji Yuan went to visit Grandpa Mu with a gift box.

She has always been afraid to face the Mu family. She doesn't want to lose her pride and dignity in front of Ji Yunxi and lose her status in Ji Yunxi's heart.

In fact, Ji Yuan knew that he owed the Mu family an apology and gained their forgiveness.

Ji Yunxi was very happy that Ji Yuan was willing to take this step.

Taking Ji Yuan to the gate of the Mu family, Ji Yuan was ashamed and did not dare to go in. He hesitated and struggled at the door for a long time.

Grandpa Mu and Autumn were unwilling to forgive Ji Yuan, but they really couldn't bear to see Ji Yunxi caught in the middle.

From their point of view, Ji Yuan's mistake is not worth forgiving.

But from Ji Yunxi's point of view, Ji Yuan worked hard all his life and raised her with great difficulty, and he could not give up the feelings.

Ji Yuan walked in shyly, and came to Grandpa Mu in a reserved manner. He pursed his lips for a long time before bowing deeply to Grandpa Mu and saying, "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry!"

Grandpa Mu sat upright on the sofa, holding his cane in both hands, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Ji Yuan kept bending over in a bowing posture.

Her waist was in pain and she could hardly hold on any longer, so Grandpa Mu raised his hand slightly to let her get up.

"Alright, let's not talk about the past! As long as you treat Yun Xi well in the future, we will be a family. I can't bear to see my precious granddaughter being bullied!"

Grandpa Mu’s resentment towards Ji Yuan was not only because Ji Yuan had stolen Ji Yunxi, but also because of Ji Yuan’s desire to control Ji Yunxi, which tortured Ji Yunxi and made her shrouded in worry all day long.

Today, Ji Yunxi's eyes finally showed a smile from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes became clear and bright.

Grandpa Mu was reluctant to spoil his granddaughter's fun, so he pressed his hand and asked Ji Yuan to sit down.

Ji Yuan did not sit down, but walked towards Autumn and bowed to apologize.

Autumn stood up with a stern face and went upstairs without saying a word.

Autumn would never indulge Ji Yuan. Asking her to come and apologize was his biggest concession to Ji Yuan.

He would not stop Ji Yunxi and Ji Yuan from interacting, nor would he forgive Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan stood there awkwardly for a while and looked at Ji Yunxi for help.

Ji Yunxi knew that her father had a bad temper and it was impossible for him to forgive Ji Yuan so quickly.

She held Ji Yuan's arm and patted it gently.

Ji Yuan endured the embarrassment and shame and smiled awkwardly.

Grandpa Mu still invited Ji Yuan to have lunch at his home. The sumptuous ten-course meal was not to embarrass Ji Yuan too much.

At lunch, Ivy came over.

He treated Ji Yuan the same as always, as if the torture of Ji Yuan by Ji Yunxi during this period had never happened. During the meal, he kept picking up food for Ji Yuan, trying his best not to make Ji Yuan feel left out.

Mu Mu babbled in baby language, and most people couldn't understand what he was saying, but Ji Yunxi and Ivy could understand.

Ji Yuan still likes Mu Mu very much.

Letting go of her worries, she looked at Mu Mu with gentle and loving eyes, but Mu Mu had already forgotten about her as his grandmother and refused to get close to her.

Ji Yuan tried to hug Mu Mu several times, but Mu Mu would dive into Ji Yunxi's arms and not let Ji Yuan touch her.

Ji Yuan was a little sad, with red eyes, "Mu Mu, have you forgotten? When you were just born, it was your grandma who took care of you."

Mu Mu was so young, how could she remember all this? She still looked at Ji Yuan curiously with unfamiliar eyes.

Ji Yunxi was afraid that Ji Yuan would be sensitive again, so she hurried to smooth things over, "Mom, you haven't seen Mu Mu for a long time, just get familiar with each other! Mu Mu must be close to grandma!"

Ji Yunxi coaxed Mu Mu to let her grandma hug her.

Mu Mu listened to Ji Yunxi's words very much. She let Ji Yuan hug her reluctantly, and then hurriedly snuggled into Ji Yunxi's arms again.

The little guy's naughty look made Grandpa Mu laugh and he waved to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu fiddled with his short legs and threw himself into Grandpa Mu's arms, calling out in a tender voice, "Great Grandpa..."

Grandpa Mu's heart melted at the cuteness of the little boy. He laughed again and glanced at Ji Yuan proudly, "This kid is close to whoever takes care of him! Only if you take care of him and treat him well, he will be close to you."

When Ji Yuan saw the intimate scene between Mu Mu and Grandpa Mu, a hint of envy and regret appeared in his eyes.

If Mu Mu had always been by her side and was taken care of by her, he must be very close to her now, right?

Unfortunately, at that time she was only concerned with being angry and wanted Ji Yunxi to bow to her, and never really took Mu Mu to heart.
