Chapter 1584 - 1584 The Joyous Grandmother Jing Rujiu
1584 The Joyous Grandmother Jing Rujiu
Sr. Song and the others didn’t expect Old Madam Jing to respond to this matter directly.
Upon hearing Old Madam Jing’s words, Jing Rujiu raised her eyebrows and said, “I know you didn’t kill him.”
Old Madam Jing was about to heave a sigh of relief when she heard Jing Rujiu say, “You just didn’t save him when he was in a desperate situation.”
Old Madam Jing was stunned.
Thinking that she might never return to the Divination Continent after this farewell, Jing Rujiu suddenly turned around and looked straight at her.
After the mother and daughter stared at each other for a moment, it was Jing Rujiu who broke the silence first. “Madam Jing, as a big shot and a person in charge, you have ambition and can always make the most suitable choice. I admire you very much for this. However, as a wife and a mother, I can’t agree with your actions.”
Then, Jing Rujiu slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Old Madam Jing respectfully.
“Madam.” Jing Rujiu knelt on the ground and said calmly, “You gave birth to me. I’m extremely grateful for this. Thirty years ago, you extracted all my divination power, so consider it as repaying you for raising me. My flesh and blood were destroyed by Zhang Zhanyi. Consider it as repaying you for giving birth to me.”
“The three kowtows just now were my congratulatory gift to you for your 500th birthday.” After Jing Rujiu raised her head slightly and stared at Old Madam Jing in a daze, the memories of her childhood with Old Madam Jing surfaced in her mind.
That was her mother. It was impossible for Jing Rujiu to have no feelings for her.
However, their mother-daughter relationship was over.
Jing Rujiu forcefully removed those blissful and painful memories from her mind and gave her sincere blessings with a smile—
“I hope that you will live a long life and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren.”
After saying that, Jing Rujiu gestured for Yu Huang to help her up and disappeared from the Demonic Beast Forest with Song Ji and the others.
Jing Rujiu’s instructions before she left echoed in Old Madam Jing’s ears and couldn’t stop, as if she was possessed.
“I hope that you will live a long life and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren.”
Hur!
Old Madam Jing had long severed ties with her daughter. Today, her only son had lost the wife he had loved deeply for more than a hundred years and was even seriously injured. The granddaughter she was most proud of had also become disabled.
How could there be the joy of having children and grandchildren?!
Live a long life and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren.
All the VIPs present understood the meaning of Jing Rujiu’s blessing to Old Madam Jing before she left. They looked at Old Madam Jing, who had lost a hand, and realized that after such a short period of time, Old Madam Jing, who was still charming at the birthday banquet, actually looked so old now.
What sort of change was that?
As if the energy in her body was gone, Old Madam Jing looked dejected.
Everyone looked at Old Madam Jing sympathetically.
How did a birthday banquet become such a farce?
After this incident, the Jing family’s reputation would probably plummet. As for the Jing family’s most dazzling genius…
Everyone lowered their eyes and looked at Jing Jiaren, whose body was broken. They all guessed that even if Jing Jiaren survived, she would probably become a cripple.
The prominent family that had reigned supreme for thousands of years finally showed signs of decline tonight.

Yu Huang and the others didn’t care about what the Jing family would become in the future or whether Jing Jiaren could recover and become a normal person again.
After leaving the Jing family, Song Ji brought Yu Huang and the others straight to the aeroplane tarmac and took the earliest flight to the interstellar city. Considering that Jing Rujiu’s body had just been reconstructed and it wasn’t suitable for her to tire herself out, Mo Xiao booked the entire first-class cabin of the aeroplane.
There was a comfortable bed in the first-class cabin.
After boarding the aeroplane, Jing Rujiu laid on the bed while Yu Huang sat by the bed quietly.
Ever since Yu Huang was born, Jing Rujiu had not interacted with her for a single day. Although they were mother and daughter, they were strangers who had not seen each other for thirty years. When the mother and daughter were sitting alone in a small room at this moment, they felt awkward.
Yu Huang didn’t know how to interact comfortably with Jing Rujiu, and Jing Rujiu didn’t know what kind of personality Yu Huang had or what taboos she had.
There was a ‘polite’ yet ‘distance’ atmosphere between the mother and daughter.
Mo Xiao and the others knew this very well, so they didn’t disturb them and deliberately left this room alone for them to rest.
After a long while, Jing Rujiu lamented, “I didn’t feel it before, but now that it’s quiet, I feel a little reserved and awkward. Darling.” Jing Rujiu held Yu Huang’s hand tentatively. Then, she bit her lip and mustered her courage before saying to Yu Huang, “We haven’t seen each other for thirty years since we parted on the day of delivery. To each other, we’re both the closest yet most unfamiliar existences. It’s a pity that I couldn’t participate in your growth process. When I’m suddenly facing you, who has already grown up, I really don’t know how to interact with you to make you feel comfortable.”
“I think you have the same thoughts as me. In that case, let’s not think about how to get along like a normal mother and daughter. Let’s slowly get to know each other. What do you think?”
Hearing Jing Rujiu take the initiative to talk about this topic, Yu Huang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, I have the same thoughts.”
“That’s good.”
Jing Rujiu simply treated Yu Huang as a friend. She stared at Yu Huang’s bulging stomach and narrowed her eyes as she said thoughtfully, “You have a very slender figure. Your stomach can’t be filled with fat…” She was just short of asking Yu Huang if she was pregnant.
Yu Huang blushed slightly. When she lowered her head and looked at her bulging stomach, her ears actually turned red. “Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother.”
Jing Rujiu had long guessed that Yu Huang was pregnant.
However, when she really heard Yu Huang admit that she was pregnant, Jing Rujiu still found it unbelievable. “You’re only 30 years old…” That was really the youngest cub.
Could it be that her daughter had not only inherited her beauty, but also her bad genes of getting pregnant out of wedlock?
Jing Rujiu couldn’t process this news for a while.
Yu Huang guessed what Jing Rujiu was concerned about and said, “I’m married.”
While Jing Rujiu heaved a sigh of relief, she was even more surprised. “You’re married at such a young age. Aren’t you being too… rash?” Jing Rujiu was worried that Yu Huang would get hurt in the future.
Knowing that Jing Rujiu was saying so for her own good, Yu Huang wasn’t angry. However, any daughter hoped that their love would be blessed by their mother, so Yu Huang said calmly, “Mom, you just said that we don’t have to be too careful and reserved when interacting with each other. Then, I hope you can calm down and listen to me carefully.”
Stunned, Jing Rujiu nodded solemnly and said, “Tell me your thoughts. I’ll listen carefully.”
Back then, when she returned to the Jing family pregnant out of wedlock, she hoped that Old Madam Jing could calm down and listen to her heartfelt words.
However, Old Madam Jing regarded Jing Rujiu as a disgrace, so how could she listen to Jing Rujiu?
Jing Rujiu would never let her daughter suffer the same thing she had suffered. Therefore, after realizing that Yu Huang hoped that he could listen to her heart carefully, Jing Rujiu naturally had to calm down and listen carefully.
