Chapter 1292: 316: The couple of Deep Smoke are online fighting and abusing trash_3

At that time, she was still the carefree young lady of the Zhao Family.

At that time, her parents and elder brothers and sisters-in-law were all still alive…

Every time she wakes in the middle of the night from a dream, her pillow is wet with tears.

They are all gone now, leaving her to linger alone in this world.

Ni Yang held Zhao Shuyue’s hand, “Grandma Zhao, stop dwelling on those thoughts. I’ve already checked for you; your health is excellent. You’ll definitely live to be a hundred years old.”

Zhao Shuyue looked up at the moon in the sky, “Yangyang, there’s no need to comfort me. I know my own body. Yangyang, after I pass away, I don’t want to be buried in the cold ground, nor do I want those chaotic rituals. Just scatter my ashes into the Yangtze River. The river will carry me to the places I wish to go.”

She wanted to go somewhere far away, a place she never had the chance to visit during her lifetime. When she dies, she must see it for herself.

“Alright.” Ni Yang nodded.

“Also,” Zhao Shuyue pressed something into Ni Yang’s hand, “Yangyang, take this.”

“What’s this?” Ni Yang asked curiously.

Zhao Shuyue continued, “Back in the day, when our family faced an attack from enemies, my father took the opportunity amidst the chaos to bury a box of gold and paintings. It should still be hidden underground. This is the map.”

In the past, the Zhao Family had been a prominent family; a box of gold was hardly anything to them.

So, when Liu Qinian said Zhao Shuyue had a treasure map, it wasn’t just a baseless rumor.

Ni Yang froze, then quickly said, “Grandma Zhao, I can’t accept this.”

Zhao Shuyue held Ni Yang’s hand firmly, “Yangyang, I’ve had no children or grandchildren in my life. To me, you’re like my own granddaughter. If you don’t take it, are you planning to let me take this with me to my grave?”

Before meeting Ni Yang, Zhao Shuyue had indeed planned to take everything with her to the grave.

But now, it was different.

Ni Yang had made her feel the warmth of human connection once again.

In the past few years, because of Ni Yang’s presence, she had enjoyed a family bond she had never dared to imagine before.

“Grandma Zhao, this is too valuable, and I’ve already said, you’ll live a long life. I truly can’t accept this.”

Ni Yang’s kindness to Zhao Shuyue had never been about material possessions. Taking these items would leave her feeling burdened and undeserving.

Zhao Shuyue frowned and said, “I’m telling you to take it, so you take it. If you don’t, even in my grave, I won’t be at peace.”

Zhao Shuyue had a strange feeling.

She felt her time was near—just a matter of days. That’s why she needed to settle things in advance.

To ease Zhao Shuyue’s mind, Ni Yang had no choice but to accept.

Seeing Ni Yang no longer refuse, Zhao Shuyue let out a breath of relief.

Because on the day of returning home, daughters were not allowed to stay overnight at their maternal home, Ni Yang went back with Mo Qishen that evening.

The next morning, before Ni Yang had gotten up, voices could already be heard downstairs.

The visitor was none other than Xiu Jiao.

Xiu Jiao placed the fruits on the coffee table, “Old Six, why is your home so cold and quiet? Where is Yangyang? Out working?”

Mo Qishen replied, “Yangyang is still upstairs sleeping.”

Upon hearing this, Xiu Jiao said incredulously, “It’s already this late! She’s still asleep? That’s so undisciplined! Old Six, how come you don’t manage her?”

At home, Xiu Jiao was always up at six sharp every morning.

Now it was already past ten, yet Ni Yang was still sleeping!

Wasn’t this a bit excessive, taking advantage of someone’s affection?

Relying on Mo Qishen’s fondness for her, had she gone too far?

Xiu Jiao really didn’t like people like that.

Mo Qishen’s expression didn’t change much, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his gaze, “I spoil her. Do you have a problem with that, sister-in-law?”

In the past, Mo Qishen had respected Xiu Jiao greatly as his sister-in-law.

Because Xiu Jiao was sensible and often engaged in charitable acts.

But lately, Mo Qishen found Xiu Jiao increasingly unpleasant—a growing annoyance.

Embarrassment flickered across Xiu Jiao’s face as she forced a laugh, “Old Six, that’s not what I meant…”

Mo Qishen interrupted Xiu Jiao directly, cutting to the point, “Sister-in-law, is there something you needed to discuss with me?”

Xiu Jiao nodded, “Yes, there’s something I need to discuss with you two. But since Yangyang isn’t here, I’ll just talk to you first.”

Before her words had completely settled, Ni Yang came down the stairs, “What does Sister-in-law want to discuss with us?”

Normally, Ni Yang wasn’t one to sleep in.

On regular days, she’d wake up at six-thirty sharp, jog for an hour, spend half an hour freshening up and eating, and then leave for the company headquarters at eight on the dot.
