Li Jinnan walked over and looked at the elderly man as he gently bent down.

"Grandpa, I'm Xiao Nan. I'm Youyou's husband, your grandson-in-law. I'll treat Dad and Youyou well."

His words were simple but sincere and powerful.

He did not know how to speak in the dialect used in Yun Town, nor did he know if Ye Youyou's grandfather could understand what he said. However, every single word Li Jinnan said had come from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Zhenhua helped to translate to the elderly man, who nodded his head with a smile.

The elderly man appeared to be in great spirits. His muddy eyes exuded an aura that was different from that of normal people. It reflected the vicissitudes of life, as well as what he had experienced.

The elderly man looked toward Ye Qianqian and patted her hand as he said, "Qianqian, you are a sensible child. You'll always be my good granddaughter no matter what outsiders say."

Ye Qianqian was stunned when she heard that. She could no longer hold back her tears. "Grandpa!"

"You're the one I worry about the most. You're an easily impulsive child who does not bow down to others, and you even have a sharp tongue. There are many things in this world that mortals like us cannot predict. You have to learn to evade them. You're a good kid, but your personality is like your Dad. You cannot be like this. You have to change in the future, alright?"

Ye Qianqian nodded her head. "Got it, Grandpa."

Ye Qianqian felt slightly amazed when she gave her reply.

Her grandfather had suffered from dementia throughout these years. As a result, he could hardly recognize anyone and was even slightly delirious.

It was extremely rare to see him in high spirits and to speak with such clarity.

"Zhenhua." There was still vitality in the elderly man's voice as he looked toward Ye Zhenhua. "I've lived to such a ripe old age. The one I'm most worried about is Qianqian. It's regretful that I could not see her marry in my lifetime. Zhenhua, you have to marry her off grandly."

"Don't worry, Dad."

"Alright, your mom is waiting for me. I'll make a move." As the elderly man said that, he looked up with a smile on his face. "Don't cry when I'm gone. I'll be with your grandmother again."

Everyone felt even more like crying when they heard what he said.

At the same time, they could not help but lift their heads to look above.

There was clearly nothing above them.

However, there was an extremely doting expression in the elderly man's eyes.

Soon, the elderly man closed his eyes shut.

He was gone.

The elderly man had lived his life in peace and harmony. He had been an upright and amicable man.

He was especially doting toward his wife.

Now, the elderly couple would finally reunite.

The entire room was still left with grief.

News about the passing of the elderly man spread quickly in town. Since Ye Qianqian's grandfather was a highly prestigious man in town, and Ye Zhenhua was also well known, it only took a while for the news to spread.

There was a big banyan tree in the most densely populated area in town.

Underneath the big banyan tree was a little provision shop. Fang Tongtong felt slightly amazed when she heard people discussing the incident as they came and went.

There was not the slightest bit of news about this elderly man before Ye Qianqian returned.

Now that Ye Qianqian came back, people began to talk about him. Did this elderly man specifically wait for Ye Qianqian to return?

It was at that moment when Mrs. Fang rushed back home.

After she entered the room, she told Fang Tongtong, "Go look for Ye Qianqian later on."

Fang Tongtong felt a that was a little strange and out of the blue. She replied, "Why should I look for her?"

"Regardless of what happened, Qianqian's grandfather passed away. It is still upsetting, so you should comfort her."
