<h4>Chapter 422: Chapter 422: ying With Balloons Beats Imitating Dogs</h4>


    When Ji Wei arrived at Old Madam Ji’s residence, she learned that the old woman had gone out.


    "Uncle Zhao, didn’t Grandma say where she was going?" Ji Wei asked while walking back, turning her head. She felt a bit suspicious—why would Grandma deliberately avoid letting Dad find out when she went out?


    "asionally, the old madam likes to go out for a stroll. I’ll call A Xiu and ask where they are." Uncle Zhao pulled out his phone and dialed the servant, A Xiu.


    A few minutester, Uncle Zhao answered her, "A Xiu said the old madam went to... the mental hospital."


    ...


    Rongcheng Mental Hospital was located at the foot of a serene mountain, surrounded by lush, verdant trees.


    At this moment, two people were sitting by the flowerbed inside the mental hospital.


    "Yunxiang, it’s Mom who let you down. You’ve be like this because I didn’t stop you in time, which allowed you to make so many mistakes..."


    Old Madam Ji wiped her tears and raised her hand to tuck the loose strands of her daughter’s hair behind her ear.


    Ji Yunxiang’s hair was disheveled, and she wore a garish dress. Her mouth was stuffed with something, and when she saw Old Madam Ji crying, she scoffed disdainfully and said harshly, "Old hag, why are you crying, huh? Every time you see me, it’s like you’re mourning. Are you trying to curse me to death?"


    "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What are you saying about death!" Old Madam Ji quickly spat in response.


    Seeing Ji Yunxiang’s mouth stuffed full, she hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe it for her. "Eat slower; no one’s going to snatch it from you."


    "That big yellow dog wants to snatch it from me!" Ji Yunxiang pointed at the dog outside the security office andined, "Last time, it almost bit me—stupid dog!"


    The big yellow dog, hearing itself being insulted, barked fiercely at Ji Yunxiang: "Woof woof woof..."


    Ji Yunxiang was not to be outdone and shot back, "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"


    That still didn’t feel like enough to her, so Ji Yunxiang simply put down the biscuit in her hand, crouched on all fours like the dog, and growled viciously, barking as she lunged forward.


    Old Madam Ji rushed to hold her up. "Yunxiang, what are you doing? Get up, quick!"


    A Xiu also stepped in to help. But Ji Yunxiang began to struggle violently, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!" baring her teeth and ferociously trying to bite Old Madam Ji and A Xiu.


    Old Madam Ji turned pale with fright, nearly losing her bnce. A Xiu quickly steadied her.


    "Yunxiang, you... you..." Old Madam Ji trembled with a mix of anger and worry.


    "Woof woof woof!" Ji Yunxiang, seeing no one actively stopping her, charged straight at the big yellow dog. Ignoring her fear, Old Madam Ji hurried after her.


    However, halfway there, Ji Yunxiang suddenly froze, pointing outside the mental hospital. Her face lit up as she said enviously to Old Madam Ji, "Balloons! Hehe, so many balloons!"


    Only then did Old Madam Ji notice a balloon seller across the road.


    ying with balloons seemed better than pretending to be a dog.


    "Alright, wait here. I’ll go buy you some balloons," Old Madam Ji said.


    "No! I want to go get the balloons myself, lots of balloons!" Ji Yunxiang pouted, acting just like a little girl.


    Old Madam Ji was reminded of how her daughter used to ask her for gifts as a child, and her eyes welled up again.


    "Alright, alright... I’ll take you to buy them. We’ll buy all the balloons!"


    Old Madam Ji held Ji Yunxiang’s hand and headed toward the mental hospital gates.


    The security guard blocked their path. "Madam, the rules here don’t allow patients to leave on their own."

    "Can you make an exception? I just want to take my daughter to buy balloons by the roadside—we won’t go far," Old Madam Ji said, giving A Xiu a meaningful look.
