C150 The Only Blood Relative
old madame saw Gu Weizi's expression and understood everything in her heart.
But she had already let Bei and Gu Anran be together. Now, Weizi also liked Bei. What should she do?
old madame immediately regretted. Of course she hoped Weizi would be happy.
However, she did not want to separate the couple. It was too cruel.
"My health is very good. Weizi has accompanied me for a long time. I am very happy today."
old madame held Gu Weizi's hand. She was really happy.
Mu Zhanbei's gaze finally landed on Gu Weizi.
Gu Weizi wanted to look at him but was a little embarrassed. She could only lower her head and pull her fingers. She looked shy.
Mu Fengjin also walked over, "Grandma, how do you feel?"
"With Weizi accompanying you, Grandma is very good."
Whether it was Mu Zhanbei or Mu Fengjin, they were both juniors old madame liked.
When she saw them, she was happy. "Fengjin, come over and sit. You are not in good health. Don't keep standing."
"I am fine. I have been recuperating overseas for so long. Now, there is no problem at all."
However, Mu Fengjin still pulled a chair over and sat beside her.
Seeing that Grandma's face was still a little pale, the two brothers did not feel good.
The doctor's words still lingered in their minds. Whether they could survive this winter was still unknown.
"It's good that there are no problems." old madame saw that Mu Fengjin's complexion had indeed improved a lot. He was no longer as sickly as before. At this time, she felt relieved.
The one who was most worried was her Weizi.
The poor little girl had suffered so much in the Gu family. Until now, she still did not know the relationship between her and her.
She was so strong. The stronger she was, the more anxious old madame's heart was.
"Bei." old madame suddenly called out.
"Huh?" Mu Zhanbei also sat on the chair and looked at her.
"Bei, Grandma has something to tell you. Come with me."
Mu Zhanbei immediately pushed her wheelchair. "Grandma, where do you want to go?"
"Yes, let's walk in the yard." old madame looked back at Gu Weizi and was a little worried.
She looked at Mu Fengjin and said, "Fengjin, Weizi's foot is hurt. Take care of her."
Mu Fengjin just nodded and did not say anything.
Mu Zhanbei pushed old madame all the way to the yard and stopped under the shade of the tree.
Returning to her side, he asked gently, "Grandma, what do you want to say to me?"
old madame spoke to him in all seriousness. In fact, Mu Zhanbei felt uneasy.
This feeling was like an old man giving orders.
Sure enough, old madame held his hand and her eyes turned red.
"Grandma knows that Grandma might not live long."
"Don't speak blindly. Grandma's health is good. At least she can live a hundred years." Mu Zhanbei interrupted.
old madame shook her head. She knew her own situation very well.
It was impossible for her to live a long life. It was hard to say whether she would be able to live through this year.
Even if they and the doctor hid it from her and did not tell her the real condition, However, her body was hers. How could she not know?
"Bei, Grandma has something to do. I hope you can help me."
"Just tell me."
old madame looked at him. This grandson was really outstanding, powerful and warm.
Although the outside world had always said that he was cold and heartless, old madame knew that once he recognized someone, he would protect them to the end.
However, it was really very difficult to become the person he decided on.
"Grandma wants you to protect someone for Grandma, a girl."
old madame knew that her request was too much. To Mu Zhanbei, it would be a burden for the rest of his life.
However, she really had no choice. What if one day she died and her granddaughter died?
"Who?" Mu Zhanbei looked indifferent.
"Gu Weizi."
His expression instantly became very ugly.
To him, this was an absolute burden!
The word 'protection' was too severe! He was extremely resistant, to the point where he felt disgusted just thinking about it.
"Bei, Grandma knows that he has never liked being too close to girls. Grandma's request is really too much for you."
But what could she do? No one would understand her worry. Except for Bei, no one could protect her granddaughter.
"Why does Grandma like Gu Weizi so much?"
This girl did not have any relationship with her grandma.
Even he did not understand why grandma was so good to Gu Anran.
However, Mu Zhanbei found out that he was biased as well.
Even if he had doubts about his grandmother and Gu Anran's relationship, he could accept it.
However, his grandmother and Gu Weizi's relationship made him want to treat Gu Weizi well. It was not just a question of doubt, but also a burden.
old madame looked at him and wanted to say something but stopped.
There were many things that she wanted to say but did not dare to.
"If Grandma can't give me a reasonable reason, I think it will be hard for me to agree to this."
old madame's hand grabbed the handle of the wheelchair. The more she grabbed, the tighter she tightened her grip. Her thin fingers and even her joints were turning white.
Mu Zhanbei looked down at her trembling fingers.
She knew that he pitied her, and also knew that if she did not insist, he would not force her.
However, to Weizi, making him do it willingly and forcing him to do it would have a very different outcome.
"She is... the only family I have in this world who is related by blood."
Mu Zhanbei did not say anything. The air seemed to have suddenly become quiet.
In the early autumn of October, leaves fell one after another. A dried leaf fell on old madame's hair. It was yellow in the mottled snow. It stung Mu Zhanbei's eyes.
old madame of the Mu Family used to have a flesh and blood relative.
Her son was the fourth master of the Mu Family, Mu Zhaobang.
That was many years ago. Back then, a great fire took away Mu Zhaobang's life and caused her to be plagued by illness.
How old was Mu Zhanbei at that time?
At such a young age, he was also caught in the fire.
The reason he survived was because of Mu Zhaobang.
Fourth Uncle saved him, but he himself was buried in a sea of fire.
old madame could no longer give birth and could no longer have her own flesh and blood.
Although she was old madame of the Mu Family, there were so many descendants of the Mu Family, and none of them were truly related to her by blood.
Mu Zhanbei had always been very protective of her because he knew that if it wasn't for saving him, Fourth Uncle wouldn't have died. old madame didn't have a single flesh and blood relative right now.
Now, old madame said that she still had a blood relative. Then no matter who this blood relative was, it was his responsibility to protect it for the rest of his life.
This was what he owed her.
After an unknown amount of time, old madame looked at him. She said faintly, "Bei, I know that my request for you is indeed very excessive."
"I also know that as long as I say it, you will definitely do it and protect Weizi for me."
She was still holding her hand tightly. She was a little excited and helpless.
"But I only have one granddaughter. I do not dare to make a public announcement. I am afraid that someone will harm her and I also do not dare to recognize her. I am afraid that it will scare her."
"The only thing I can pray for is when I'm not around. At the very least, there's still one person who can help me look after her."
