Reborn: Changing Fate
Grandma Lost!

Li Xingchen once looked at the cute appearance her brother made in his hospital gown and found it impossible to lie and said that he found it interesting.

That's really very funny….

o(≧ ⁇ ≦)o

And here he was, thinking that there was actually someone who was interested in his younger brother!

Li Qingcang was deeply offended by Li Xingchen's silence. Is he really not shown?

After all, they are siblings. Can't he at least lie and let her save face?

“OK, Brother. You should go home now. Otherwise, my brother-in-law will come to the hospital and handcuff you!”

Glancing sideways at Li Qingcang, Li Xingchen told him, “I've already spoken to the related department. From now on, they would deliver three dishes a day every day to her grandmother and granddaughter. And you shouldn't be running. Just focus on getting well quickly so that the family does not have to worry about you. Also, I've been thinking. If you really miss not being able to see the young girl again, I can arrange for you to move to a room closer to them.”.

Li Qingcang immediately jumped out of bed. Repeatedly waving his hand, he said, “No, no need. I'm fine alone here.”

“So you won't go berserk anymore? Rest and heal quickly! Li Qingcang, I warned you. If you don't obey me anymore, I'll ask your brother-in-law to beat you up!”

Noting that his sister was now using her brother-in-law to fight him, Li Qingcang lost his rebuttal and could only reply, "Understanding!"

Li Xingchen was about to say something else but held back, worried that it would backfire. So, what he finally said was that he had to go to bed early. Then he walked out of his room.

After Li Xingchen left, Li Qingcang sat on his bed, a million things raging in his mind. He could not calm his mind. Feeling a little frustrated, he ruffled his hair. After spending a few days in the hospital, his short hair grew longer and looked a little messy. His eyes, which were accentuated by his eyebrows shaped like ink-black daggers, were a collection of deep mystical tranquility….

And in his eyes, confused emotions that he could not describe or comprehend swirled in the depths.

He thought long and hard for a very long time but was still unable to find an answer.

Forgetit. Since he could not figure it out, he would stop thinking and go to sleep!

After Ye Tianxin saw Li Qingcang leave, she returned to the ward. Grandma was unconscious.

He looked so calm, as if he was sleeping soundly and peacefully.

But Ye Tianxin knew that her grandmother's body was aging rapidly and her health was deteriorating rapidly.

According to the specialist, Grandma's cancer has started to spread throughout her body. Ye Tianxin was lucky they found him in time. Otherwise, Grandma's situation could become much worse.

After sitting down and resting for a while, Ye Tianxin once again began to feel anxious.

Taking out a plastic basin, she went to the kettle room to fetch hot water and prepared to clean her grandmother's face with a towel.

Li Xingchen was a kind and meticulous sister who paid attention to detail. He had prepared some daily necessities for Ye Tianxin, including cups, tablespoons, face towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and more.

At this moment, Ye Tianxin still did not know that the beautiful and meticulous woman who had come with Li Qingcang was his sister. He simply assumed .. that he was Li Qingcang's partner.

Using a warm towel, Ye Tianxin gently wiped her grandmother's face, slowly moving it onto her skin.

Grandma is old. Hands especially. Because she sewed needles and sewed all year round, calluses had long formed at her fingertips from the continuous puncture of her embroidery needles.

Her grandmother had been trained in ancient embroidery techniques by the Jiameng traditional embroidery community. Over the years, he had used this hand to embroider items such as shoe soles, handkerchiefs, and other small crafts to make a living for himself and Ye Tianxin.

It might be due to the soothing effect of the warmed towel, but Grandma finally woke up after being unconscious for nearly four hours.

“Tianxin...”.

“Grandma, you're awake! Are you hurt anywhere?”

Grandma shook her head "no." Ye Tianxin walked to the foot of the bed and slowly twisted the handle to lift the end of her grandmother's bed, allowing her grandmother to sit down. She then poured her grandmother a cup of honey warm water.

"Grandma, drink honey water first."

Grandma took a cup from him and took a sip of honey water. Then, he looked at Ye Tianxin closely and noticed her red and swollen eyes, and tear streaks were still visible on her cheeks. She must be crying!

Grandma quietly sighed deeply and deeply. He was eighty to ninety percent sure that his illness was serious. Why else would he faint twice in such a short span of time?

When the doctor told her that it was not serious, she must have lied to him.

At his age, he was not afraid of dying if he was seriously ill.

However, he was worried about Tianxin. What's he gonna do?

Tianxin will take the college entrance exam. What would happen if he got distracted because of his illness and didn't do well?

Also, if he were to die soon, how would Tianxin handle it?

He couldn't possibly rely on Lu Jijun, because if he really intended to bring Tianxin back to the Lu family, he would have already shown his sincerity to Grandma a long time ago.

However, over the years, what else did he do other than send them money every month?

Furthermore, he could tell from just one glance that princess Lu Jijun was definitely not a person to be bullied.

If he let Tianxin go with Lu Jijun, it was most likely ... Tianxin will be harmed.

Grandma is not afraid of death.

Grandma was only worried that Tianxin would become an orphan after he died.

Left alone in this world, how could he survive on his own?

“Tianxin, please be honest with Grandma. Is my condition very serious?”

Ye Tianxin shook her head and replied, “No, Grandma. Your blood sugar is low, and your blood pressure is also slightly low. But the others are normal, kok.”

"Tianxin, what do you think of Uncle Lu whom we met earlier?"

Ye Tianxin knew what her grandmother was thinking. Grandma probably took this opportunity to take care of some unfinished business before she died.

“Grandmother, it doesn't matter how good she is. He's still somebody else's father. I don't like it. And I don't like his daughter much. Grandma, I want to stay with you. You don't have to worry about me. I'll be eighteen years old and soon be an adult. I was able to take care of myself..”.

Her grandmother said nothing more and calmly drank her honey water. He slipped his hand into his pocket, and his fingers touched the stiff card.

In fact, for so many years, she had always had Lu Jijun's phone number.

But he never called her. Because of her pride, she wanted to show him that she was truly capable of raising her own granddaughter without relying on him. From his point of view, Lu Jijun was completely guilty of what happened to his daughter, Linlang.

No, he would never hand over his own grandson to Lu Jijun.

But ... if the condition worsens, then what should Tianxin do?

“Grandma, stop thinking nonsense. Oh yes, let's eat.”

"okay."

Grandma decided not to think about it for now. He was very reluctant to hand over his grandson to Lu Jijun.

He'll think about it again next time. There has to be a way to avoid this.

After her grandmother and granddaughter had dinner, Ye Tianxin sat by her grandmother's bedside and, holding her hand, said gently, “Grandmother, please impart your embroidering technique to me. I always thought that your embroidery was really beautiful ... "

"Sulaman? Wh-wh-what for? In the future, my Tianxin will have to buy whatever she likes.”

Ye Tianxin held his grandmother's hand. It was this pair of hardworking hands that painstakingly raised her from a babbling baby to the young woman she is today.

“Grandma, I just want to inherit it. Please teach me! ”

Her grandmother thought about it before compromising, “Focus only on your exam for now. I'll teach you after the exam."

"OK," Ye Tianxin agreed in an instant.

The only occupants in the three-man ward were Ye Tianxin and her grandmother, who could be heard chatting quietly inside.

The doctors and nurses who walked through the ward and heard the couple talking all felt that there was such a beautiful bond between Grandma and her granddaughter.

“Grandma, please wait for me here at the hospital while I go home to tell Aunt Du what happened. We have been out since morning and have not returned. Aunt Du may be worried.”

Ye Tianxin felt that since Aunt Du kindly let them stay in her house, it was the least they could do, as a courtesy, is telling him that they plan to go out tonight.

"That's right, Tianxin. You are very wise. Let's do that. Take a taxi home and tell Auntie Du. Don't worry about me. I'll wait here at the hospital and won't wander.”

“Grandma, just watch TV. I'll bring you a change of clothes and my exercise book.”

Ye Tianxin was reluctant to leave her grandmother alone in the hospital, but she really had to go home and, since she had no phone, she had no phone, he had no way of telling Aunt Du about what was going on.

After Ye Tianxin left, Grandma took Lu Jijun's business card and saw him a few times.

He was illiterate and didn't know how to call, so he had to take the business card to the nurse's post.

“Young lady, can I trouble you to contact the person on this business card and tell him that I'm in the hospital?”

The nurse looked at Grandma once and knew that the old woman was illiterate.

Glad to help, he dialed Lu Jijun's number and gave Grandma the phone handle.

“This Lu Jijun. Who is this please?”

“Lu Jijun, this is Tianxin's grandmother. I'm in the hospital. Can you stop by, please?”

Lu Jijun was having dinner with Lu Qinxin and Gu Yancheng when Grandma called out to him. But after she spoke to him, he got into his car and quickly went to the hospital.

He walked into the ward and immediately saw the name label and prognosis on the medical chart at the foot of the bed.

He then realized what was going on and prepared for what would happen next.

“Auntie, why are you alone in the hospital? Where is Tianxin?”

Grandma looked at Lu Jijun. To be honest, he was extremely reluctant to hand Tianxin over to him.

After all, Lu Jijun was Tianxin's father. Isn't it natural and appropriate for a father to take care of his own daughter?

"Jijun, come with me to talk to the doctor!"

A hint of unwillingness appeared in Lu Jijun's eyes, as she did not want Grandma to know the truth about her illness. However, he replied, "Yes, let's go."

They went to the doctor's office. Seeing Lu Jijun, the doctor suspected that he was Grandma's son.

His voice was cold with disapproval, the doctor said, "What kind of child are you? Your mother is critically ill and you.”.

Grandma interrupts the doctor's harsh words. "Doctor, can you tell me how much time I have left?"

Lu Jijun and Grandma listened carefully to her answer.

“The old man, your disease is not serious. Just try to relax. When your mood improves, you will feel happier, and then you will live for a very, very long time to come.

Deep down, Grandma knew that her illness must be serious if the doctor didn't want to tell her the truth.

She pretended that she already knew about her condition and went on to act.

"Doctor, please don't lie to me. The doctor in our city told me that I only have one more month to live ...”

The doctor was silent for a while before replying, “They are old, the doctor from your city must be incompetent. How could you have only one more month to live? All you have to do is relax and you will live for many more years! You just have to let go of your worries …. ”

Lu Jijun joined the doctor to comfort him. "That's fine. Try not to think about it!"

“Doctor, do you think I have at least three more months? My granddaughter was taking her college entrance exam in less than three months. I don't want my illness to affect her exams in any way!”

Grandma knew that if she left this world before the entrance examination, the results of the Tianxin exam would definitely be affected. And the entrance examination is very important as it can shape Tianxin's future!

“The old lady, it should not be a problem as long as you cooperate and work together with us in your care.”

From Grandma's point of view, everything the doctor said sounded like a lie. Desperately, he said, “Doctor, I am a patient and I deserve to know my condition. Please be honest and tell the truth. Look, my son is here too. Please tell us…."

“Yes, Doctor. Please tell us."

Since Lu Jijun had also asked him to tell the truth, the doctor could do nothing but explain Grandma's condition in detail.

The doctor did not exaggerate the seriousness of Grandma's condition. Instead, he spoke clearly and in detail about his illness, including some of its features and some symptoms to look out for at a later stage.

When all was said and done, Lu Jijun thanked the doctor and helped Grandma out of the doctor's office.

When they reached the door, Grandma suddenly fainted. He reached out his hand and wildly fumbled Lu Jijun's shoulder, tears streaming down his world-weary face.

In the past, he had always assumed that he would live to see Ye Tianxin graduate from university, find a good job, and start a family.

Then, once Ye Tianxin built a life for himself, he could die without regret.

But he never thought that the angel of death would be so cruel to him. Soon, he'll die!

If he doesn't undergo chemical treatment immediately, he'll probably die before the end of the month.

He doesn't want to die!

If he were to die now, what would happen to Tianxin?

Would Lu Jijun treat Tianxin well?

Will Lu Jijun's family welcome him and treat him well?

"Auntie, please sit here and rest for a while!"

Grandma shook her head. "Take me to the park. I want to take a walk.”

They walk to the park. Grandma refused Lu Jijun's help and walked by herself at a slow pace. He felt as if there was a large and heavy stone weighing down his heart. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Lu Jijun also did not say anything. He just followed behind her, staying close to her side.

He watched Grandma continue walking forward without a goal or end point in mind, as if she would just keep going forever!

His thin figure made a shadow extend on the ground under the light of the street lamp.

Lu Jijun walked to Grandma's side and propped up her arms. He said quietly, "Auntie, please send Tianxin to me!"

......................

Ye Tianxin did not bother trying to save money; she called a taxi to take him back to the bookstore.

The bookstore door was still open, so he pushed it away, causing the wind chimes behind the wooden door to ring out melodiously.

Du Juan looked up from his notebook computer. Removing his glasses from the base of his nose, he looked towards Tianxin.

“Tianxin, why did you come back alone? Where's grandma?”

Ye Tianxin pulled out a chair and sat down beside Du Juan. After being silent for a while, he said, “Aunt Du, my grandmother is sick. He's been hospitalized. I came back to tell you this and to pack a change of clothes..”.

"Is this serious?" Du Juan asked softly.

Ye Tianxin nodded. "Yes. It's cancer. The doctor said that it spread to his lungs!”

"Do you have the money to treat it?" ask Du Juan.

These days, being hospitalized is the same as throwing money down the drain. It was a bottomless hole with no end in sight.

“In the meantime, I've raised some funds. I really want Grandma treated, so if the money I saved is not enough, I have to think of another way to raise funds.”

In fact, Ye Tianxin had thought that maybe he should take fifty thousand in the bank and play in the stock market. But, because of the state of the stock market, he really is afraid to play in the stock market. However, if he really had no other choice, he would have to use this method to raise the required funds.

"Tianxin, do you remember Uncle Jin who came for dinner that night?"

Great director Jin Xin?

What about her?

"I remember."

Du Juan had originally planned to talk to him about this at a later time.

But now that his grandmother had fallen ill, Ye Tianxin would probably rush to raise money for her treatment, instead, and he had seen too many girls who had fallen onto the dark path who could not return because they were in desperate need of money.

Ye Tianxin was a good girl. Du Juan didn't want her to end up like those poor girls.

“Uncle Jin and I are planning to produce the film, and we want you to be the female lead. Tianxin, as the female lead, we will pay you. Since you're a beginner, your salary won't be that high, but I think it will be enough to pay for your grandmother's care. What say?"

Jin Xin's movie?

Doesn't this mean ... that, if she starred in this movie, she would be a "Golden Girl?"

“But I've never taken a professional acting class. Aren't I going to ruin the movie?”

But no matter how she saw it, if she could act in one of Jin Xin's films, it would be a good thing for her.

Realistically speaking, Ye Tianxin could not think of any reason to reject the offer.

“You don't have to worry about that. What concerns me is whether you can carve out the time to make this film. We have already started preparations for that, and we will most likely start filming in early June. During that time, you will take the exam and be the caregiver of your sick grandmother. Are you able to handle all of those responsibilities? Furthermore, the university you are going to is the University of the Capital.”.

Ye Tianxin clenched her fists. He was determined to accept all of this!

Grandma's disease will be treated.

And he's going to act in the movie Jin Xin.

As for the Capital University, he would get a grade and be accepted!

"I can do this!"

Ye Tianxin clenched her fists, her eyes shining with steel determination to become a 'Golden Girl'. That, by itself, would be a unique experience for him.

He will appreciate every moment.

He would take advantage of every second of this rare golden opportunity.

"good. During this time, you should focus on taking care of your grandmother and preparing for the exam. Find time to come back here tomorrow to sign your contract. Once the contract is signed, I can pay you. That way, you'll have money to pay for your grandmother's treatment..”.

Ye Tianxin was very, very touched. It feels amazing to live. Everyone he met was a kind and kind person.

Li Qingcang was one of them.

The female boss at the noodle shop was another.

So is Auntie Du.

“Thank you very much, Aunt Du. You are truly the lucky star of my life.”

Du Juan reached out and ruffled Ye Tianxin's beautiful hair and said, "You are like my daughter. If my daughter were alive, she'd be your age now. Unfortunately, my daughter died at a very young age.”.

"Aunt Du, let me call you my godmother!" Ye Tianxin raised her small face and said gently, “I grew up without a mother. My grandmother was the one who raised me, with great difficulty. My grandmother was very kind to me, but because I had no mother, all the other children in my hometown teased me for not having a mother. I wish I was like them and had a mother who picked me up from school and loved me and cared for me. I don't have a mother. I don't have a father. I only have Grandma.”

Du Juan wrapped Ye Tianxin in a warm embrace. “My dearest daughter. As long as you accept me, I will gladly be your mother.”

"Mama."

Ye Tianxin called her Mama. That one word, that very ordinary word, made Du Juan cry. He hadn't heard that word in a long time.

"Sighs…."

Du Juan wanted to tell Grandma that Tianxin had recognized her as his godmother, so he went to the hospital with Tianxin. However, when they walked into the ward, they found that it was empty and Grandma was nowhere to be seen….

Suddenly, Ye Tianxin felt extremely uncomfortable.
