Chapter 40: The Grand Finale

Three years later.

Shen Suining met her grandmother at the airport, who had now made a full recovery. Seeing her grandmother looking so radiant and healthy, Shen Suining’s eyes grew warm, and tears welled up and spilled over. She stepped forward and pulled her grandmother into a tight embrace, burying her face in the crook of her neck. It took a long while for her to calm her surging emotions.

Her grandmother patted her back affectionately and said, "My dear Suisui, Grandma is back. You’ve suffered so much during this time."

Shen Suining shook her head, quietly wiped away her tears, and tucked her arm into her grandmother’s. "As long as you are healthy and well, that is all that matters!"

Jiang Yinuo had grown quite a bit. Clutching a bouquet of flowers, he waited until his great-grandmother looked his way before presenting them to her. "Welcome home, Great-grandmother!" he said.

His grandmother stroked Jiang Yinuo’s hair and replied, "Thank you, Yinuo."

The three of them left the airport together. Grandmother had originally assumed Jiang Ji hadn’t come, but to her surprise, he had been waiting outside, looking rather pitiful—all because he feared that seeing him immediately upon landing might upset her. Grandmother was left utterly speechless. This man was truly a master of dramatics!

He had eight hundred schemes in his heart, and he was using them on an old woman like her! Her Suisui was so innocent; how could she not worry about her being with a man like that?

Over the past three years, the news of Shen Suining’s divorce from Jiang Runlang had caused quite a stir. At the beginning, the Jiang family had bullied Shen Suining, treating her as an orphan with no one to back her up, and had resorted to all sorts of dirty tactics to smear her reputation. Fortunately, Jiang Ji had been by her side.

When her grandmother woke up and learned of these events, her opinion of Jiang Ji had shifted. However, she was still quite displeased, as a large portion of Shen Suining’s troubles had stemmed from Jiang Ji himself. If not for the mistakes Jiang Ji had made early on, and the fact that they shared a child, no one would have been able to make such an issue of things later. Still, Jiang Ji had handled the fallout quite well.

Now, her grandmother could see that the relationship between Shen Suining and Jiang Ji was stable. She could clearly see that Jiang Ji was wholeheartedly devoted to her, and seeing that, she felt she could finally let them be.

After leaving the airport, they went to enjoy some authentic Ningcheng cuisine—the very taste of home that her grandmother had been longing for during all her years abroad. Once they had finished their meal, they returned to the old Jiang family estate. It had changed significantly; it was no longer the Jiang family of Jiang Zan, but the Jiang family of Jiang Ji.

Three years ago, after Shen Suining divorced Jiang Runlang, Jiang Ji had made a high-profile return. It was then that a shocking secret was revealed: Jiang Ji was not the son of the old Mr. Jiang, but the son of the rightful head of the Jiang family. The old Mr. Jiang had merely been a servant who usurped the family fortune after the true master passed away suddenly.

Jiang Ji had shown no mercy in driving Jiang Zan’s family out of Ningcheng, cutting off all their financial support and keeping them under constant surveillance to ensure they could never return. From that day on, the Jiang family was restored to its rightful heir.

Over these three years, under Jiang Ji’s ardent pursuit, Shen Suining had finally agreed to marry him. The reason for bringing her grandmother home now was that in one month, Shen Suining would marry Jiang Ji.

Despite the many hardships they had endured along the way, from here on out, her loved ones would be by her side. For Shen Suining, that was enough to feel happy and fulfilled. The rest of her life stretched out before her, and the future would be spent with the one she loved.
