Sheng Weiwei also felt that things were getting serious, so she directly pulled Yang Fuxiao's hand and quickly walked to the front of the courtyard gate, pushing open the slightly ajar door.
At night, the entire Shen family seemed to be shrouded in a deep and mysterious low pressure. The humid air pressed in from all sides.
The gate was wide open. After Yang Fuxiao entered, she saw Lin's mother standing with her back to the door, shouting loudly: "Is there a Miss Shen Wanjun inside?"
Lin Mama is Yu Mingxiu's personal nanny, wherever Lin Mama is, it must be where Yu Mingxiu sends her.
Yang Mu Xiao now saw Lin Ma, she didn't dare to show her face, because at least it was an elder, but Sheng Weiwei standing beside her was different.
Yang Fu Xiao stood at the gate of the courtyard, half of her body blocked by the door, and pulled slightly on Sheng Wei's sleeve.
Sheng Weiwei turned her head and took a glance at Yang Muxiao, and immediately understood.
Before the wedding with Shen Jia-yu, Sheng Wei-wei had stayed at Shen Jia-yu's place for a while. At that time, Lin Ma was sent by Madame Feng to monitor Yang Mo-xiao here.
At first, I thought Yumingxiu was a good person. But later on, she turned out to be a feudalistic old lady, really an antique.
Sheng Weiwei subtly made an "OK" gesture and quietly closed the door a bit, shielding Yang Fuxiao in the shadows.
The door opened and Little Peach came out, "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Lin's mother directly wanted to push Xiaotao inside and walk in, "I seemed to have seen Miss Shen here just now, I want to take a look, is this inside... Ah, who is this?"
Sheng Weiwei directly grabbed the back of Lin's mother's collar and pulled it backwards with force.
"What are you doing here! Stop making noise, I couldn't sleep because of you!"
Sheng Weiwei exuded an air of a wealthy young lady, and now that she intentionally added a bit of spoiledness to her demeanor, it was enough to scare someone like Lin Mama, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, into submission.
Lin's mother turned around, narrowed her eyes: "Miss Sheng, are you living here?"
She knew that Sheng Weiwei was following Yang Buruoxiao to live in the Shen family, and both Master and Madam had tacitly agreed, not because of Yang Buruoxiao's request, but because of the power of Sheng Weiwei's family.
Sheng nodded slightly: "Yes, I and Fucha are always living on this side. You come here making such a big noise at night, what if you attract ghosts?"
"Is there a ghost?"
"Of course," Sheng said with a slight smile, "I saw it two days ago, with hair scattered all over... and tongue sticking out..."
As she spoke, Sheng Weiwei swept her long hair down from her forehead, then stuck out her tongue and hopped over to Lin Mama with a 100% acting performance.
Lin's mother couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine as soon as she heard it, and for a moment, she felt that this place was really eerie, with an overwhelming aura of yin energy.
It's true that this place was once haunted by ghosts. The mistress didn't dare come over here, but she thought it was suspicious and sent her over anyway.
And also, it really feels a bit suspicious, but this person in here is probably Shen Wanjun.
Lin's mother immediately had a smile on her face. This change of face was a bit too quick.
"Miss Sheng, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll leave first."
Sheng Weiwei stuck out her tongue and made a mournful sound as Lin Mama walked towards the door, but it only made Lin Mama walk faster.
Yang stood at the sheltered spot of the wall, her body blocked by the shadow. She could see Lin Ma under the dim yellow light at the door, but Lin Ma couldn't see her in the brightness.
Her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she let out a sound similar to the soundtrack often heard in horror movies from her throat.
"Uggghhh..."
Lin's mother suddenly felt her hair stand on end. The one who ran in that direction was especially fast and disappeared from sight.
In the courtyard, Xiaotao was thanking Sheng Miwei profusely, "Thank you so much, otherwise this time would have been a disaster."
"It doesn't matter."
Yang Fuxiao walked into the yard, where there were two large trees. Due to the season, almost all the leaves had fallen off, leaving only a few withered yellow leaves swaying in the wind on the branches.
Xiao Tao knew Yang Mo Xiang and before the wedding, Shen Jia Yu once brought Yang Mo Xiang for a walk to this side.
"Third Young Madame."
Xiao Tao is also not a reckless person, still following the general appellation.
Yang Mu Xiao smiled: "How's Aunt?"
Xiao Tao waved her hand: "It's nothing, thank you Third Young Mistress for your concern, the madam is taking a bath inside."
It's just as well that Sheng Wei came over to help mediate, otherwise Xiao Tao really wouldn't have been able to handle Lin Ma.
"Little Peach, who is outside?"
Shen Wanjun came out of the bathroom, was wiping her hair with a towel, heard the sound, and called them all to come in.
Sheng Weiwei had met Shen Wanjun before, she had always yearned for a kind mother like her, but she never thought that such a gentle and elegant woman could give birth to a rascal like Gu Qingcheng.
Oh, genetic variation is really a terrible thing.
Shen Wanjun asked Xiaotao to bring over pastries and hot drinks from the small kitchen, casually tying up her hair, "You all sit down and have something to drink, there's nothing good to entertain you with."
Yang said: "We all have eaten."
And then Sheng Weiwei's actions completely slapped Yang Fuxiao in the face with this sentence.
Sheng Weiwei didn't decline and seemed like she hadn't eaten enough for dinner, directly taking the almond cake and stuffing it into her mouth.
Yang Fu Xiao sat down helplessly and asked Shen Wan Jun after a moment of consideration, "Auntie, we met before, do you still remember?"
Shen Wanjun smiled: "Yes, I still remember that night you and Jia Yu passed by here."
Yang Fu Xiao shook his head: "We met at Ganlu Temple before, don't you remember?"
Shen Wanjun slightly furrowed her brow, as if recalling, "I don't remember, when was it that we met?"
"It's fine if you don't remember, it was just a brief encounter. I'm a common face, so it's normal that my aunt can't recall me."
It doesn't seem fake.
Yang Mu Xiao looked at Shen Wan Jun's expression and indeed did not recognize her.
That is to say, Yang Fu Xiao had seen another personality before, it seems that Gu Qing Cheng is the inherited mother.
Yang also consulted relevant psychiatrists, this kind of dual personality is a hidden form of schizophrenia, and there are some people abroad who may not develop it in their lifetime.
Because of dual personality, both splitting out another personality and making another personality disappear require stimulation, finding the weakest point to stimulate.
What stimulated Shen Wanjun?
………………
Originally thought that grandma would come back after traveling outside for three days, but unexpectedly, Yang Fuxiao saw her grandma the next day.
Mrs. Yang looked particularly good in spirit, and when she saw Yang Gongxiao, before her granddaughter could even open her mouth to speak, she had already said a string of concerned words all at once.
"Grandma," Yang Xiao said helplessly, supporting the old lady as she sat down, "I'm definitely fine, eating and drinking well every day."
Old Lady Yang returned just in time for lunch, so Shen Jia-yu asked Wei Ting to add two more dishes and they all sat down together to eat a meal.
Yang Fuxiao could see that Shen Jiayou and Old Lady Yang were already familiar with each other, even giving each other dishes at the dinner table.
Shen Jia-yu is now in a key position within the company, with the formal voting of the shareholders' meeting to be held one month later. He followed Shen Zhou to handle official business and was particularly careful. After lunch, he almost didn't stay and went straight to the company.
"Dawn."
Shen Jia-yu changed his shoes at the Xuan Guan and called out "Yang Fu-xiao".
Yang Mu Xiao knew that Shen Jia Yu had something to say to her, so she took the initiative to walk over, slightly tilting her head to look at him: "What's up?"
Shen Jia-yu slightly bowed his head and whispered in Yang Shu-xiao's ear, "I've found a private investigator to help you."
Yang Mu Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really fast, thank you."
Shen Jia-yu smiled, suddenly took a step forward, Yang Mu-xiao reflexively wanted to retreat, but was wrapped around the waist by Shen Jia-yu, and then a kiss landed on Yang Mu-xiao's cheek.
"Grandma is watching."
Shen Jia-yu's soft and moist lips lightly touched Yang Mo-xiao's cheek, although it was just a touch, she had a moment of stiffness.
Although he lived with Shen Jia-yu for a long time, he never stepped out of Lei Chi Pond.
This sudden movement made Yang Xiao unable to react in time.
Shen Jia-yu took another step back and pulled down the hem of Yang Mo-xiao's sweater, "Get some rest, I'll be back early tonight."
As Shen Jia-yu's figure disappeared at the door, Yang Fu-xiao finally turned around and walked towards the dinner table, seeing her grandmother looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Yang Xiaoxiao sat beside Old Lady Yang, smiling. "Grandma, are you used to eating the dishes here? I wasn't at first when I came, feeling a bit bland, but my taste gradually adjusted."
Mrs. Yang put down the bamboo chopsticks in her hand and looked at Yang Fu Xiao: "Tell your grandma, what's going on?"
Mrs. Yang was a shrewd person, during the time Shen Jia-yu took her over, she didn't ask anything, only listened to Shen Jia-yu's one-sided words, but in her heart, there were 50% doubts.
This question can only be answered by asking one's own granddaughter directly.
Yang Mu Xiao said: "What's wrong? Isn't everything fine now?"
In the kitchen behind, Wei Ting was still busy, and Old Lady Yang listened with her ear to one side, then pulled Yang Fu Xiao upstairs.
Old Lady Yang pulled Yang Fu Xiao into her room and closed the door.
"Really nothing to tell grandma?"
Yang Fu Xiao was pulled by Old Lady Yang to sit on the edge of the bed and shook her head: "No."
"Alright," Old Lady Yang turned to Yang Fuxiao: "I'm asking you, what about that little Cui who followed you back to our house half a year ago?"
Yang Fu Xiao knew that her grandmother would mention Gu Qing Cheng, she opened her mouth: "He and..."
Mrs. Yang directly interrupted Yang Fu Xiao: "I want to hear the truth, since I'm asking you now, it means I've already asked many people, think carefully about what you say and don't contradict yourself."
Yang Mu Xiao: "......"
She had never been able to deceive her grandmother since she was a child, and any small thoughts were easily seen through, mainly in front of her grandmother, and she had never pretended, so during the few days she stayed at home, Mrs. Yang could truly see the undisguised liking that Yang Fu Xiao had for Gu Qing Cheng.
But now there are too many twists and turns in this, and Yang Bufang doesn't want to drag his grandmother into this circle either, it's hard to explain with just a few words.
Old Lady Yang saw that Yang Mian didn't speak up as usual, so she asked: "The child in your belly, is it Little Gu's or Jia Yu's?"
Yang Furong suddenly lifted her head up.
Old Lady Yang saw Yang Fu Xiao's expression and knew she was right.
She smiled and patted Yang Fu Xiao's hand, "It's Little Gu's, right?"
Yang Fu Xiao didn't say anything, which was tantamount to tacit consent.
Mrs. Yang said, "This belly of yours, it's not obvious when covered with clothes, and you can't even feel it by touching? What's the difference between a four-month belly and a two-and-a-half-month belly?"
Yang Fuxiao knew this lie was also really unconvincing, but there was truly no other way.
Since grandma already knew, Yang Wuxiao told her all the things that had happened since she came back from her hometown a few months ago, without missing any details.
Grandma Yang is now the person closest to Qiao Xiao, she doesn't want to hide from Grandma with great difficulty.
"So, actually, on the wedding day, it was Gu Qingcheng who took you away?"
Yang Xiao nodded: "Then something happened in between, and now I'm back."
"Grandma nodded frequently while listening, now she's been silent for a moment, then raised her head: 'Then the child in your belly, is it his? Does he know or not?'"
Yang Fu Xiao shook his head: "Shouldn't know, I suppose."
Old Lady Yang burst out laughing, "I can see right through it, are you sure this little trick can fool him? He must know. I've been around the block, now I don't care how much money you make, as long as you can support yourself and live a good life, that's enough."
After telling all this to Old Lady Yang, Yang Fuxiao felt that her body and mind suddenly became a little lighter.
Mrs. Yang still lives here and will wait until after Yang Fu Xiao gives birth and finishes her postpartum confinement before returning to her hometown to enjoy her old age.
"Dawn."
Mrs. Yang stopped Yang Fu Xiao from going out, "By the way, I'd like to remind you that when you were taken away by Gu Qing Cheng, Shen Jia Yu brought me from my hometown to the Shen's house, isn't there something wrong with this?"
Yang Mu Xiao was stunned for a moment, this she had not thought of, because Shen Jia Yu had always been very considerate of her, and she also regarded Shen Jia Yu as an elder brother.
"Did you discuss with him before about bringing me over?"
Yang Furong shook her head.
But at this reminder from Old Lady Yang, Yang Fu Xiao suddenly snapped back to reality.
In fact, Shen Jia-yu brought Yang Fu-xiao's grandmother to the Shen family after the wedding and Yang Fu-xiao went missing. In reality, it was also a way of... controlling her?
"But I just thought so, fortunately and thanks to him and Linzi, that night they were able to send me to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Yang Mosheng had heard Shen Jiayou mention this matter before, and afterwards he also felt a chill in his heart.
"Grandma, you just stay here and I'll keep you company."
The elderly live alone at home. If no one accompanies them, they will feel lonely not only psychologically but also in case of illness, it is really unpredictable.
………………
The haunting incident last night has already reached Shen Zhou's ears.
When he heard Shen Guan's response, his eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
"It was just Lin's mother who went to see her, but since Lin's mother went to make trouble, she must have received instructions from the mistress, otherwise..."
Shen Zhou knows.
Yu Mingxiu never dared to approach the backyard, because it was haunted. A little maid who served Yu Mingxiu had hanged herself there, and although Yu Mingxiu had asked someone to perform a ritual, whenever she approached that area, her back would still feel chilly.
"Should we move the young lady somewhere else?"
Shen Zhou waved his hand and said, "No need, just leave it there. There's less than a month before the New Year, it'll be convenient then."
"What about his wife...?"
Shen Zhou said: "I will go find her and talk."
Yu Mingxiu returned from abroad and was given the title of honorary dean at a hospital, but in reality, he had no actual duties. He would go sometimes and not others, and often stayed home with nothing to do.
Hearing the slow footsteps coming from the doorway, Yumingxiu's hand holding the pen paused for a moment before putting it down on the desk.
"I knew you'd come."
Yu Mingxiu turned around and looked up at Shen Zhou who was walking in from the doorway.
Mrs. Lin, who was standing on one side, took a glance at Yu Mingxiu and said, "Madam, I..."
Yu Mingxiu said: "You go out first, there's nothing for you here."
Waiting until Lin's mother left, Yu Mingxiu coldly smiled and said: "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have stepped into my room in ten days or half a month."
"Shen Zhou and Yu Mingxiu didn't have much to say, directly getting to the point. 'Don't disturb her again, her mental state has just started to stabilize recently.'"
"Has she stabilized?" Yumingxiu picked up the brush again and continued writing on the xuan paper spread out on the desk. "Shen Zhou, you've put in a lot of effort, it's good to let her remain unstable like that, just circling around you."
Actually, Yu Mingxiu and her eldest daughter Shen Jiajia look very similar in appearance, both with a heroic face, but Yu Mingxiu is older, that sharp feeling is gone.
It's precisely because Shen Jiajia resembles Yu Mingxiu that Shen Zhou dislikes her.
"That's it, I just came to tell you that there's no need for anyone else to investigate. The person in the courtyard is indeed Wan Jun," Shen Zhou said. "You think carefully and don't do anything that will make yourself regret later."
Yu Mingxiu didn't respond, and waited until Shen Zhou walked out. She couldn't help but tremble with the brush in her hand, then she put it away and slammed it to the ground fiercely. The pen broke in half, and the floor was stained with black ink. She tore the Xuan paper that had been stained with a few drops of ink into shreds and threw them on the ground.
"Shen Zhou, you bastard! The one thing I regret most is marrying you!" Yu Mingxiu laughed wildly, "Shen Wanjun is just a fatherless adopted daughter, but all of you Shen family people are blind to the fact that she's not worthy of your love, and yet she ended up with someone else!"
Lin's mother heard a noise coming from inside the room and rushed in, seeing a mess on the floor, "Madam..."
"Who told you to come in? Get out of here!"
She can go crazy, she can lose her composure, but absolutely cannot let outsiders see!
In front of outsiders, Yu Mingxiu is always the elegant and refined image of a wealthy lady! This is something that no one can change!
………………
After dinner, Yang Xiao and Shen Jia-yu went to see a private detective.
The meeting place definitely couldn't be at the Shen's house, nor could it be a familiar restaurant. In the end, the car stopped in front of an ancient tea house.
Yang Wenshao undid his seatbelt and looked out of the passenger window: "Fujizhuang Tea House?"
Shen Jia-yu nodded and said, "Let's go down, I'll take you in."
In general, private detective agencies are prohibited on the surface, so in order to avoid inspections, they are generally consulting firms and verbally referred to as private detectives.
Moreover, private detectives' fees are generally high and their levels vary greatly.
The person who came over was a woman, looking very capable and wearing a light windbreaker, holding a white porcelain teacup and sipping tea.
"I am Anna, hello."
Anna shook hands with Yang directly and then sat down.
Shen Jia-yu leaned in close to Yang Mu-xiao's ear: "You talk to Anna, I'll wait for you outside."
Yang Mu Xiao directly grabbed Shen Jia Yu's sleeve: "Together then, anyway I want to ask things you all know."
Shen Jia-yu's footsteps paused for a moment, and he lowered his head to gaze deeper into Yang Mu-xiao's eyes before sitting down.
Yang brushed off the dawn and turned to Anna: "How is the cost calculated here?"
"Anna smiled and said: 'Don't worry about the cost, Mr. Shen has already paid our detective agency a one-time fee.'"
Apart from cost, there is also confidentiality.
"Anna said: 'We will sign a confidentiality agreement, rest assured that all the information you entrust us to investigate will be kept confidential with legal effect, this is the confidentiality agreement.'"
Yang Mu Xiao took this document and glanced at it.
There are two in total, front and back, not many words, but Yang Mu Xiao thinks there is nothing different, however the key is that she has been cheated once when signing a contract with Gu Qing Cheng, now if she only looks at it herself without finding a professional lawyer, she does not want to sign her name, no matter whether it's her own signature or Shen Jia Yu's.
After a simple exchange, Yang and Anna exchanged phone numbers. Yang took away the confidentiality agreement, saying "I'll call you tomorrow."
Anna smiled slightly: "You're too kind, Miss Yang."
Yang Mu Xiao took out the confidentiality agreement, glanced at the time and then gave Sheng Wei Wei a call.
"Xiao Xiao, is Attorney Shen still at the law firm?"
Sheng Weiwei has said that nowadays at Shen Lawyer's law firm, they have to work overtime every day, and can't even get a wink of sleep, but of course, apart from Sheng Weiwei who is this abnormal person who wants to stick with Shen Lawyer all the time, no other employees like working overtime.
………………
"In, in."
She held a stack of documents in one hand, struggling to navigate the narrow corridor with her shoulder pinched against her phone. If it weren't for Attorney Shen among the three partners at the law firm, she would have quit long ago - this wasn't something humans should be doing. It was all just a bunch of capitalists taking advantage of free labor and refusing to let go.
Yang Mu Xiao said: "I have a contract content that I want Attorney Shen to take a look at, let's drive over now."
Sheng Weiwei was nowhere to be found, "Hurry up and come, I'll go tell Lawyer Shen right away."
She hung up the phone and swept all the documents onto the desk, rummaging through them hastily before heading towards Attorney Shen's office.
Attorney Shen is on the phone with the parties involved, frowning.
Sheng Weiwei poked her head out from the gap in the door, took a glance at Attorney Shen, then squeezed inside through the gap and sat down quietly on one side.
Attorney Shen ended his call thirty seconds after Sheng Weiwei arrived.
"I've already organized the materials."
"Thanks for your hard work," said Shen lawyer with a slight smile to Sheng Weiwei.
"No trouble!" Sheng said with a smile, "Dawn just called me and asked for your help to review a contract to see if there's any problem, he's on his way here now."
From the tea house to the law firm, it's less than a ten-minute walk. As soon as Sheng Weiwei said "on the way", Yang Fuxiao was already waiting for the elevator downstairs.
The office building has a total of five floors. Shen Zhenliang's contracted law firm occupies the third and fourth floors, the two lower floors are a tutoring school, and the fifth floor is a workshop.
Yang Fuxiao arrived at the law firm on this floor, saw the scattered materials on the table and the bright lights, truly feeling a kind of chaos in the workplace after a long absence.
Yang Mu Xiao arrived at Shen Zhen Liang's office and knocked politely before entering.
However, what she saw when she pushed open the door was Shen Chenliang sitting at the desk, using a white handkerchief to wipe Xing Weiwei's face.
Sheng's face was bare without makeup, because of printing materials, her fingers were black, and as soon as she raised her hand, a big black smudge appeared on her face.
She herself didn't look in the mirror and couldn't see it, Shen Zhenliang saw it and helped her wipe it away.
Yang brushed off the dawn and cleared his throat, "Uh, isn't it a bit too coincidental that I came?"
Sheng Weiwei took a step back, as if nothing had happened, "Dawn is here, I'll go get you a glass of water."
Although Sheng Weiwei seemed unchanged on the surface, except that the office director let out two sighs.
Ah...
I'm so nervous I'm going to die, my little heart is almost jumping out!
I don't know if her composure is genuine or not, but just now I really had to use 100% of my effort to restrain myself from pouncing on Attorney Shen!
She must be a dignified young lady!
In the office, Shen Zhenliang looked at the documents handed over by Yang Fuxiao from front to back.
"No problem, can sign," Shen Zhenliang said. "It has legal effect, as long as one party breaches it, the other party can sue."
Yang Wuxiao let out a sigh of relief and nodded: "Thank you."
This time she came up, in addition to the contract, there was another thing.
"Actually, I have another thing I'd like to ask you."
Shen Chenliang raised an eyebrow: "Is it still the same as the ten-year contract with President Gu? Actually, Miss Yang doesn't have to worry, the terms of that contract just look more severe, but President Gu won't sue you. Besides, as long as you don't disappear from his line of sight, it's not considered a breach of contract."
"Oh."
As long as it doesn't disappear from his line of sight... The content of this ten-year contract is really broad.
Yang Mu Xiao lowered his head and hooked up the corner of his lips, looking at Shen Zhen Liang: "What I want to ask is about something else, applying for a death certificate."
Shen Zhenliang said: "Do you want to apply now?"
Yang Duoxiao nodded slightly.
Shen Chenliang said: "Then I'll write a certificate for you that needs to be issued. You need to issue the certificate, and I'll apply to the court on your behalf."
"Good."
………………
Because Yang Mu Xiao was only here to inquire about the contract content, and the parking space downstairs was also hard to find, Shen Jia Yu waited downstairs.
Watching Yang Fuxiao enter the office building, Shen Jiayou gripped the steering wheel with one hand.
He glanced at the time casually.
9:28。
A moment later, the phone rang.
Xu Yiqian brought it over.
Shen Jia-yu leaned against the back of the chair and answered the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jia-yu said: "Didn't Gu Qingcheng buy an empty shell of the Yang family before? Now, put a small portion of the funds on your side to shift attention, and then put most of it into the Yang family."
"But that's Gu Qingcheng's..."
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say," Shen Jia-yu said, "Shen Zhou has already started to suspect me."
"Really? Didn't you just say he had just taken you up?"
Shen Jiaoyu coldly smiled and said: "There is a reason."
On the other end of the phone, Xu Yiqian paused for a moment and didn't ask Shen Jiayu what the reason was. He just said, "Let's take a break for now and wait until the storm passes."
"Can't wait any longer," Shen Jia-yu said, "If we make a big move in a short time, it will attract more attention. Let's start moving slowly from now on, that's the safest."
………………
The next day, Yang faxed the signed contract to the private investigator's fax number and then told him over the phone about the first two things that needed to be investigated.
The first thing is, after the car accident on X Mountain, who died, who was injured and who was rescued.
If Xu Muhuang is alive, then he is Gu Qingcheng. So who was the incomplete body that was carried up from the car at the foot of the mountain back then?
The second thing is eleven years ago, at Yang Fu Xiao's old home, the death of Duan Wu and Qi Gai Shu.
Shen Zhenliang asked Yang Fuxiao to provide a certificate, which requires the local police station and civil affairs bureau to issue a certificate. Yang Fuxiao thought to himself that he still needs to go back to X County for a trip.
Because it was Yang Fu Xiao's mother who had to issue the death certificate, and she is also Yang Lao Tai Tai's daughter, this matter ultimately has to be told to Grandma.
Grandma just sighed after hearing it: "Whatever."
Yang Fuxiao sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the only photo he had treasured from the very beginning, a photo of his mother.
The image in memory is almost blurred, if it wasn't for this remaining photo, Yang Fuxiao probably wouldn't be able to recall his mother's appearance now.
"Dawn."
Old Lady Yang walked in from outside, and Yang Fuxiao's hand shook, causing the photo to float down to the ground.
"Grandma."
Yang Fu Xiao squatted down to pick up the photo, and Old Lady Yang walked over to sit beside him. She lowered her head and saw the photo in Yang Fu Xiao's hand, then reached out to take it.
The person in the photo was still very young when it was taken, and left when Yang Fu Xiao was three years old. Now Yang Fu Xiao is already twenty-four years old, and twenty-one years have passed. Even if the face in the photo was once radiant and beautiful, it must have withered by now.
Grandma rubbed the photo in her hand and said, "I still remember now that when you were young, you loved beauty just like your mother. You tied a red ribbon on your hair and even didn't take it off when sleeping."
"But you're better than your mother, she was always too ambitious, to put it in one sentence... her aspirations were higher than the sky but her fate was thinner than paper," said Old Lady Yang. "Forget it, if you want to go get a certificate then just go, it's already been twenty some years."
Old Lady Yang got up and suddenly turned around again, "Ah, I forgot, just like the photo in your hand, I also have one."
At that time, three photos of Yang Fuxiao's mother were developed. When Yang Fuxiao's grandfather passed away, he took one with him and left the remaining two to Yang Fuxiao and his grandmother.
Yang Fuxiao raised her head and looked at her grandmother.
Old Lady Yang continued: "Just last time you returned to X County, Gu Qingcheng took him away."
