Early the next morning, Jiang Jingze took Yue Qingqing to the villa where her grandmother currently lived.
Knowing this was a significant matter for the Yue Family, Jiang Jingze sensibly refrained from entering.
He planned to co back later in the afternoon to pick her up.
"Grandma."
Yue Qingqing entered through the gate and found that her grandmother was already up.
Her hair was ticulously grood, all neatly gathered and pinned at the back of her head.
Her expression lacked the usual leisure, appearing very serious.
"Has he contacted you? What does he want, or is he trying to get sothing again? How is he now?"
The string of questions revealed Lin Chunju’s inner turmoil at that mont.
Yue Qingqing noticed her grandmother’s hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.
"It wasn’t he who contacted , it was his son."
Lin Chunju was startled, "My brother’s son."
Indeed, everyone’s already at this age, and it’s only natural that they would have grandchildren.
"He said Uncle is near the end and wishes to see you one last ti before he passes."
Thump!
In her panic, Lin Chunju knocked over the cup of water.
Water seeped into the carpet.
"Near the end? What happened to him?"
"He’s sick, it’s a tumor."
Lin Chunju stood up, and her expression shifted.
Anxiety, worry, heartache.
Ultimately, it turned into a long sigh, "He used to be in good health, who could have imagined."
Lin Chunju was filled with mixed emotions but did not intend to see him.
"My brother treated well since I was little, but because of that incident, I cannot forgive him."
In the quiet of night, Lin Chunju often thought of her brother.
The man who was strong and upright, who cherished her since childhood—why would he conceive such a malicious plan?
If it were just about borrowing her fortunes, Lin Chunju wouldn’t have cared.
She could have given it all to him.
But what he borrowed was the fortune of the Yue Family.
Over the years, the family faced many hardships, and the children encountered countless struggles along the way.
And then there was Yue Dashan’s death—
All of these weighed heavily on Lin Chunju’s heart.
She didn’t even want to recall them.
Lin Chunju couldn’t understand why her brother would want to see her again.
Could it be a revelation at the end of his life?
But not all apologies can lead to forgiveness.
Lin Chunju could not forgive her brother on behalf of the deceased Yue Dashan.
"Grandma, it’s not like that, Uncle is unaware of anything."
Yue Qingqing shared what she had heard.
"It seems it was his wife who acted on her own to do such a thing, and this ti, Uncle genuinely wants to et you, but those people harbor ill intentions—they want to exchange lives."
"Exchange lives?" Lin Chunju asked in confusion.
"Yes, using your life to exchange for Uncle’s."
Lin Chunju was incredulous, "Fang Miao is that malicious!"
She had seen it before; her sister-in-law didn’t like her from the first day she married into the family, always subtly targeting her.
But Lin Chunju didn’t want to ruin her relationship with her brother over such matters and pretended not to know, never ntioning a word.
Even when her brother and sister-in-law were about to leave, it was Fang Miao who persuaded her not to beco her brother’s burden.
Lin Chunju always thought of herself as the younger sister, and her brother and sister-in-law were the ones who would spend their lives together.
Once she married off and beca part of another family, there would be no conflict between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, they wanted not only her fortune but also her life.
Lin Chunju laughed bitterly in anger, "My life is right here, let’s see if she can take it."
Yue Qingqing smiled, "Actions like hers are bound to et a miserable end."
Lin Chunju felt a heavy stone lifted off her heart, breathing a long sigh of relief.
"I want to see him."
After so many years of misunderstanding, snow and ice ought to lt at so point.
After receiving Yue Qingqing’s affirmative response, Lin Hao and Fang Miao were overjoyed.
They imdiately arranged the eting.
Lin Jianping, who was slowly regaining consciousness, also received the good news, and the doctor promptly gave him a sedative.
To prevent anything from happening due to excessive excitent.
Lin Jianping cried tears of joy; he could finally see his sister.
