Translator: 549690339
The feeling of wanting to provide for one’s family but not having them around is one of the greatest regrets one can have.
She didn’t want Yian Jingxue to have such regrets in the future.
Yian Jingxue turned her head to look at her with a warm smile, “Beibei, you’re the best!”
“Silly girl,” Ye Xingbei chuckled, shaking her head, and asked, “How are your second and third uncles? Are they giving you a hard time?”
“Them? Same as always,” Yian Jingxue scoffed, “Just as you told me, after I returned, I told them that I’ve made a will. If I die, all my wealth will go to you. They were furious!”
Yian Jingxue sneered, “I love seeing them frustrated and incapable of laying a finger on me. The angrier they get, the happier I am! I’ve been very content these days!”
“That’s good,” Ye Xingbei warmly expressed, “Knowing that even if something happened to you, they wouldn’t get a cent of your inheritance, they should leave you alone from now on.”
“Right! But… actually, I worry about you…” Yian Jingxue looked at her with some unease, “I hope they won’t go to extreme lengths to harm you?”
“Why would you think like that?” Ye Xingbei laughed, “Even if I die and you’re still alive, they still wouldn’t get your inheritance.
“If they want your inheritance, they would have to kill you first, then me.”
“But after your death, your inheritance will be given to me, becoming my property.”
“After my death, my property will be inherited by Xiao Shu, and it has nothing to do with them.”
“Even if we all died, they still wouldn’t get a penny!”
Yian Jingxue’s eyes lit up, and she lightly slapped her own head, “Right! That makes sense!”
She chuckled with delight, “That’s great, no matter what tricks they try, they won’t get a penny from me. Let them die of anger!”
Ye Xingbei shook her head and chuckled, no longer saying anything.
They crossed the beautiful courtyard, and Yian Jingxue pushed the door open: “Grandpa, Beibei is here to see you!”
An elderly man seated on the sofa stood up.
Ye Xingbei quickly walked over, “Senior Master Yian, please sit. Xiao Xue is my best friend, you can treat me as your granddaughter, no need for formalities.” “That’s wonderful, what a good girl!” Senior Master Yian grinned, “All of you, sit, sit. Ever since Xiao Xue met you, each time she calls, she praises you, saying that you’re very kind and take great care of her. Now you’re here at my place, so as a host, I must show you some hospitality!”
Ye Xingbei made a few polite remarks and introduced Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue to Senior Master Yian.
Old people usually love children. Senior Master Yian was no exception, he was charmed by Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue. After chatting with Ye Xingbei for a bit, he ordered the kitchen to prepare a grand meal for lunch.
Afterwards, Senior Master Yian took Xiao Shu and Lingyue to the backyard to see his garden and birds.
Yian Jingxue and Ye Xingbei followed them at a comfortable distance.
Senior Master Yian had over a dozen birds, including a couple of mynah birds, Brother Liu.
Upon seeing Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue, Brother Liu started hopping around in its cage, repeatedly saying “hello! hello!”, to the delight of Xiao Shumiao who clapped and hopped around in response.
Watching Xiao Shumiao, Yian Jingxue suggested: “If Xiao Shu likes mynah birds so much, I can ask my grandfather to buy a couple for him.”
“No, that won’t work,” Ye Xingbei refused, “Xiao Shu has allergic asthma. The doctor advised us to limit his contact with animals like cats and dogs.”
It’s fine to take a glance at animals from behind a cage, but if he had his own pet, the little one would inevitably want to pet and cuddle it, which could trigger an asthma attack. The thought alone could break Ye Xingbei’s heart.
Yian Jingxue didn’t want the little one to fall ill either, and shrugged regretfully, “Fine then… by the way, how are things between you and your bargain bin husband now?”
