Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 573: 557 Ji Li has no fondness for Yan Yueqing.

"How could you think that way?" Grandma Ji found it incredibly unbelievable. "Little Leh, you are very smart, but in the end, you’re just a child. As for future achievements, who can guarantee that? Cough cough... They value your talent and are willing to spend time and energy on you. Shouldn’t you be grateful to them instead of complaining?"

Suddenly, a darkness not befitting his age appeared on Ji Li’s face.

He lowered his lashes, and the light cast fine shadows on his eyelids, hiding his pitch-black eyes.

"Grandma... I... I don’t like them."

Ji Li told the truth.

"I was originally very happy to be recognized by them, but after getting to know, through television, the person who wants to adopt me... Somehow, I didn’t feel so happy anymore..."

After Yan Yueqing’s identity as a big shot was revealed, all her controversial history online disappeared overnight!

Now, the only things that could be found about her were about the Cute Baby reality show she participated in and the related material officially released by the Moon Project afterward; nothing else remained.

Ji Li had learned from Director Tang that Yan Yueqing wanted to adopt him.

He was saddened by the impending death of his grandmother, but also felt a bit of anticipation for the new life that was coming.

However, after watching the reality show to understand Yan Yueqing, he inexplicably developed some strange feelings.

Ji Li didn’t like Yan Yueqing, but instead, he felt a fondness for Qin Youran who had left the show in the middle!

He clearly knew what Qin Youran had done, and he knew her actions were very wrong! Still, he couldn’t help but feel a fondness for her...

It was a clash between the soul and the mind.

Ji Li didn’t know why, but he just felt a sense of aversion when he saw Yan Yueqing...

Feeling gloomy, he hung his head low: "Grandma, I feel... she seems to have taken something from someone else..."

"The more you talk, the more confused I am!" Grandma Ji’s weak voice even carried a note of sternness, "They are willing to help you—that’s their generosity! In this world, there are countless people, and you’re not the only genius! They could completely find someone else! How can you be so presumptuous as to think they can’t do without you?"

Ji Li was scolded until he couldn’t speak; he sobbed quietly, "I’m sorry, Grandma... I shouldn’t have been like this... Sorry... Don’t be angry, Grandma..."

Grandma Ji’s body felt even heavier, and her tone dimmed a bit more: "Little Leh, Grandma won’t be with you for much longer, and you have a long road ahead of you. I’m afraid that you won’t have anyone to take care of you, afraid you’ll be all alone. At times like this, Miss Yan has appeared. I know she is a good person. With her around, you at least won’t be sent to an orphanage, you won’t be bullied...

Cough cough... Little Leh, we mustn’t forget our roots. She is willing to adopt you, so you must repay her well! You absolutely must not harbor any resentment towards your benefactor! Do you understand?"

Ji Li bit his lip tightly: "Grandma, I understand... please, don’t be angry."

Grandma Ji still felt anxious: "You, you’ll go to Miss Yan’s place tomorrow!"

"Grandma?!" Ji Li exclaimed, "How can I leave now?"

"Listen to Grandma! Go to Miss Yan’s side first. Let her get to know you better. If Grandma really can’t make it, I’ll send a message to have them bring you back to see Grandma one last time... Cough cough cough cough..."

The severe coughing nearly drowned out her last words.

"Little Leh... cough cough cough... please, for Grandma, go to Miss Yan’s side first..."

Ji Li understood what Grandma meant; she wanted Yan Yueqing to see him as a genius sooner, in case something unexpected happened...

He couldn’t refuse. He bit so hard on his lip that teeth marks appeared, and in his eyes, a hint of resentment welled up.
