The next day, after finishing breakfast , Yibai went to talk to the old lady.Alhough the old lady lived in the small house in the backyard , the house was quite spacious and elegantly decorated. Yibai's room was next to her's.During their conversation Yibai noticed that the old lady was coughing incessantly.Worried about her health , Yibai asked," Grandma,where do you feel uncomfortable "?
After taking her medicine,the old lady smiled and said , " I'm getting old and there always some illnesses. I probably won't live much longer. I don't know if I'll be able to see to you get married one day".The old lady brought up the topic of marriage arranged by his mother. When he and his brother were not born yet , she had already arranged his marriage between him and the Li family's son.
"Your mother passed away early , but she had already made arrangements for you and your brother before you were born.She had made arrangements for you to marry into the Li family.They are one of the top families in Hua country. If you can marry into their family , you will enjoy endless glory and wealth , if you marry into their family I would finally be able to close my eyes in peace and show your mother my face in the afterlife".
I just don't know if they still recognize this marriage now that your mother isn't here anymore.
Thinking of Li Wei Zhi , Yibai couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.In his past life he had been too naive and had been deceived by Li wei Zhi's facade. He had cured his leg injury and used his medical skills to help him network, but he had been completely unaware That he was being used as a tool for Li Wei Zhi to rise to power.
"Good boy, don't overthink it", the old lady said looking at Yibai's furrowed brow thinking that Yibai was worried that the Li family won't recognize this marriage so she cormforted him in a soft voice "don't worry Even if I have to risk my life, I'll still fight for this marriage for you.
Grandma, Don't say such ominous things! You will live up to be hundred years old,And you don't need to worry about my marriage I don't wish to get married ".Yibai said.Yibai didn't want to marry into the Li family at all, as a matter of fact he didn't want to marry anyone at all, after what had happened in his past life. But when he heard
the old lady's words , his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and he felt like crying all the grieviances he had suffered in his previous life but his heart also felt warm because of the old lady's words of concern for his marriage.
Good boy,how could you say such a thing !Every omega has to get married you will also need to , and how could I ever rest assured without knowing that one day even if leave the world there's someone who will take care of you ,love you ,cherish you, and keep you safe, out of harm's way and forever stand with you, be your shelter and shield so no matter what kind of storm or danger comes into your life , he'll keep you safe.only then, will I close my eyes in peace, and if I live up to be a hundred years old I'll become a demon.
He was the kind of person who would give everything to someone who treated him a little better.Since the old lady was willing to protect him,and his younger brother despite never having met him he still sent him gifts she and his brother were his closest relatives,He couldn't just let his relatives disapear like this.
if he remembered correctly , in his past life , the old lady passed away two months after he returned to city M and his younger twin Alpha brother who was studying abroad had gotten addicted to drugs and died from oding he only got to that his brother died from overdosing not because of an accident because Mu Xinyan had plotted him to get addicted to drugs and she also caused the death if his mother. At that time ,He vaguely felt that something was wrong ,but because he trusted his stepmother too much , he didn't think about Mu Xinyan at all.But now he had a strong intuition that the old lady's death was also related to Mu Xinyan.This time, he must find a way to save his younger brother and his grandma as well.
With this in mind , Yibai suddenly clapped his hands and said playfully,"Grandma, let's not talk about that. when I was in the country side, I learned medical skills from a very powerful Chinese doctor. why don't I take your pulse for you "?
old Mrs Su and her personal servant,Aunt Gou Huiying , smiled at each other when they heard this."Okay , then you can take my pulse and see how many more years I have left ",the old lady said.They only saw Yibai as a novelty and let him take their pulses. Yibai took a deep breath and accurately found the pulse on the wrist, closing his eyes to carefully diagnose it.
Suddenly, his eyes opened wide and his heart skipped a beat.The old lady wasn't sick, she was poisoned! In his past life, the old lady passed away two months after Yibai returned to city M.At the time, Yibai vaguely felt that something was wrong, but because he trusted his stepmother too much, he didn't even consider the possibility of the old lady being poisoned.His father was selfish and self-centered, but he was very filial to the old lady and couldn't have done such a thing and Mu Xinyan had always saw him and his brother as an obstacle in her path and his brother had always excelled in his academic performance so she thought that his brother because he was an Alpha he would end inheriting all of the property she had worked so hard to get, After all Mu Xinyan had betrayed her best friend and senior sister by having an affair with Su Jianfeng and even killing her best friend who had just given birth just to get everything she had,and his brother's exellence threatened her and her son's future arrangements hence leading to the plot to get his brother addicted to drugs and killing him.That left Mu Xinyan as the prime suspect for his grandmother's brother's death.
"What's wrong?"The old lady looked at Yibai's expression and coughed twice before asking, Yibai quickly smiled and scratched his head, saying, "I'm inexperienced and can't see anything, but I can feel that your pulse is strong.I estimate that you can live for another fifty years, grandma!"At this point, the old lady only had pity for him.If he rashly said that she was poisoned, it might backfire.
Besides, there was a family doctor in the house who was obviously hiding the truth.If he broke the news now, not only might the old lady not believe him, but Mu Xinyan would definitely not let him off the hook.He needed to carefully consider how to treat the old lady.
"Will I become an old witch if I live for another fifty years?"The old lady said,The old lady laughed at her joke. But she was clearly very happy.Although the elderly often talk about being halfway into the grave, they are still afraid of the arrival of death in their hearts.
Yibai was giggling foolishly beside her, looking like an innocent little rabbit.Soon, the sun set in the west, and Master Su Jianfeng was still away on a business trip and would not be back for dinner.Yibai didn't see him.And his younger twin Alpha brother Su Yiming was abroad studying.The old lady was the last to take her seat.When she came over, she had a invitation card in her hand.MU Xinyan saw the Li Family's iconic steel seal on the invitation card at a glance, and her eyes narrowed slightly.But Mu Xinyan quickly concealed her expression and pretended to be puzzled as she asked, "Mom, what's this"?
The old lady placed the invitation card on the table and said in a serious yet calm tone, "This is an invitation from the Li Family.Tomorrow is Old Madam Li's 80th birthday, and I will take Yibai to attend.As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xinyan's eyes darted around twice.You two should come along as well ".
The Li Family's 80th birthday celebration, and the old lady was actually taking Yibai, who was not fit for such occasions....Does it mean that the old lady wants to use tomorrow's birthday banquet to finally confirm and fix Yibai's childhood arrange marriage?
The thought made Mu Xinyan clench her fists.This was her biggest worry.This marriage must not fall on Su Yibai's's head! Su Yibai sensed Mu Xinyan's unease and vaguely guessed what she was thinking.But he pretended not to know, just lowered his head to eat, while his mind was .
In his previous life, he obviously didn't leave a good first impression on the old lady, and even after hearing about the betrothal, he thought Su Yichen was more suitable to marry into the Li Family, so he didn't even have a chance to attend this birthday banquet.But now, he came back for revenge, and being able to have early contact with the Li Family was the best thing that could happen.
