Laughing, Grandma replied, “How much could this house of ours even be worth? And, even if she wants it, I won’t let her have it. I want to leave it to you so that, when I’m dead and gone, you’ll always have a ho to co back to.”
Indeed, Grandma truly and deeply loved Tianxin. She didn’t dislike Tianxin just because she was a girl.
To her grandmother, Tianxin was her beloved and good granddaughter, regardless of how or what she turned out to be.
“Grandma, stop talking about death and dying. My wish is for you to live a long life, to live to a hundred years old. You’ve spent your entire lifeti toiling for , and I’ve yet to pamper you with the luxuries of life!”
Listening to Ye Tianxin, her grandmother realized that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart and couldn’t help responding like a delighted child.
“Okay. Grandma will wait to be pampered!”
In her quest to gain acceptance to Capital University, Ye Tianxin would cram at the evening self-study sessions at school and then continue to study for a good few hours in her own ho.
Every morning, before the sun was up, Ye Tianxin would get out of bed and, carrying her schoolbag, would run into the rising sun.
The sight of the pretty and high-spirited person inevitably invited glances from passers-by on the roads. When she saw people she recognized, Ye Tianxin would always greet them.
“Hey, what are you guys doing?”
Passing by a cross junction, Ye Tianxin noticed a team of surveyors with their tripod in the process of making assessnts.
“We’re doing so mapping and surveying. We heard that this little town will be rebuilt soon.”
Ye Tianxin felt her insides burn. So it turned out that at this ti in her past life, the sche had already been put in motion.
Did this an that in her past life Ye Youran’s family knew way before Ye Tianxin and her grandmother about the plan to rebuild and modernize the town Jiang, turning it into a tourist attraction?
Ye Youran and her family used to live near them in their neighborhood.
Then, they sold their house to another party and used the money to build a two-story house outside the Jiang bus station.
Auntie Zhu used the ground floor of the house to set up a store selling miscellaneous goods. Business was generally good since they were close to the bus station. So this ant that they must’ve learned of the plan to rebuild the town of Jiang long before Ye Tianxin.
If that was the case, then was her grandmother’s death in her previous life an unnatural death?
Suddenly, Ye Tianxin felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She’d always assud that her grandmother died of illness.
But now it seed that her grandmother had been murdered as part of a sche plotted by Ye Youran’s family.
In the face of money, Ye Tianxin knew that the human heart knows no bounds when it cos to committing evil for gain.
Ye Tianxin was deep in thought as she walked. When Auntie Zhu turned up at their house that day and offered to provide and care for her grandmother in her old age, had it all been part of their plan?
If it was, then they surely wouldn’t stop whatever they planned to do.
Ye Tianxin clenched her fists. This ti, she wouldn’t let Ye Youran and her family get away with their evil sche.
So what should she do?
Ye Tianxin arrived at the school. As she walked past the “University Wall,” she looked at the nurous rows of tightly packed brass plates hanging up there, and her gaze fell upon a brass plate that read “University of Law & Regulations.”
That was it!
They should transfer the title deed of their house to her.
That way, Ye Youran and her family wouldn’t prey on Grandma anymore.
At least, Grandma would be safe... temporarily.
“Ye Tianxin, what are you thinking about? I called you several tis, but you didn’t respond and seed so out of it...”
Di Shanshi walked up to Ye Tianxin from behind. Standing at 1.8 ters, he was very tall. Slim and bespectacled, he looked every inch the cultured scholar.
“Di Shanshi, perfect timing. I have a question for you.”
“What is it?”
“I rembered that your father works in town. Can you please find out for what docunts or information I need to prepare if I want to transfer the title deed to my grandmother’s house to ?”
