Chapter 159

"Grandma..." Lin Ye's voice trembled slightly.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

It is clear that grandma looks much more energetic now than before, and speaks with great energy, but...

He is just uneasy!

Seeing that Lin Ye didn't answer, the old lady's face immediately darkened, "Why, you don't listen to what the old lady says now, do you?"

"Of course not!" Lin Ye hurriedly denied, his voice trembling in panic, "Grandma will agree to whatever she says!"

"That's good!" The old lady felt relieved, let go of Lin Ye's hand, and smiled kindly, "Go and ask your father to come over. Grandma has something to tell him."

Hearing this, Lin Ye nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Qiao Nian, and hurriedly wiped his tears before getting up and walking out.

It wasn't until Lin Ye left the door that Qiao Nian couldn't help but call out, "Grandma..."

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of worry, "Are you tired, grandma? Do you want to take a rest?"

Unexpectedly, the old lady shook her head, raised her hand and pointed at the cabinet not far away, "Go and get everything."

Qiao Nian was stunned.

The old lady said before that the things in the cabinet were left to her, but why should she take them now?

A wave of uneasiness came over, but Qiao Nian did not respond in time.

Seeing that Qiao Nian was silent, the old lady urged again, "Be good, go get it for grandma."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian stood up.

There is a small, square wooden box in the cabinet.

The wooden box is made of golden nanmu and is surrounded by gold rims.

Qiao Nian carefully picked it up and brought it to the old lady, "Grandma, here it is."

The old lady took it and gently brushed the wooden box with her skinny fingers. Her thoughts seemed to go back to a place far, far away, "My mother gave this to me..."

This small wooden box made of golden nanmu was also one of the old lady's dowry.

Hearing her sigh slightly, she opened the wooden box. In addition to the neatly stacked banknotes and land deeds, there was also a jade pendant with a transparent and shiny texture. The jade pendant was engraved with the word "Mu" Character.

Qiao Nian knew that this was the old lady's maiden name.

Just listen to the old lady saying, "Originally, I wanted to give it to you as a dowry, but now I think that you have to leave the Hou Mansion, and the boxes of gold and silver jewelry are too burdensome, so I took this wooden box and left." Come on! Later, I will ask you, Nanny Su, to deposit it at the bank, and you can go get it with this jade pendant. Nian Nian, this jade pendant is the most important thing for my grandmother, so don’t throw it away.”

Qiao Nian's eyes were so hot that tears welled up in her eyes.

She sniffed and tried to smile, "Grandma, Nian Nian is with you!"

The old lady smiled happily and said, "Be good."

As she spoke, she closed the wooden box and stuffed it into Qiao Nian's arms. She said in a rather anxious tone, "Your father will be here soon. Don't let them see you, lest they say that my old lady wants to do this even before she dies." "Eccentric, hurry up, take it back to your yard and wash your face while you're at it. Why does such a beautiful granddaughter like me have such a big face?"

Qiao Nian was a little reluctant, "If grandma is worried, I'll ask Ningshuang to put it away. Nian Nian doesn't want to leave. Nian Nian wants to stay with grandma."

"What? Are you worried that grandma will die soon?" The old lady laughed, but Qiao Nian was so shocked that tears burst out of her eyes. "No! Grandma is not allowed to talk nonsense!"

The old lady just smiled and wiped Qiao Nian's tears, and then said, "Be obedient and go quickly! Your father should be here soon!"

Seeing the old lady's insistence, Qiao Nian had no choice but to nod, "Then granddaughter will come back as soon as she goes. Grandma, don't be too tired. Pay attention to yourself."

"Okay!" The old lady responded and patted Qiao Nian's hand, "Go!"

Qiao Nian then stood up and walked out of the house, turning back three times.

The night breeze was cool, making her already empty heart feel even more uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath and then walked quickly to her Fanghe Garden.

He put the wooden box away, washed his face in a hurry, and rushed back to the old lady's yard without even changing his clothes.

When she came back, Mr. Lin was already kneeling beside the old lady's bed.

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and the old lady's face no longer had the smile she had when she faced Qiao Nian, and it became intimidatingly serious.

Seeing Qiao Nian coming back, the old lady raised her voice, "Nian Nian, come here."

Qiao Nian then hurried forward and walked to Mr. Lin's side, only to hear the old lady say, "Kneel down."

Qiao Nian didn't know what the old lady wanted, but she didn't dare to disobey, and immediately knelt beside the old lady's bed.

Just listen to the old lady saying, "You Qiao Nian, you have been in my Lin family for eighteen years. Although you are not related by blood, your parents have protected you since you were a child, loved you, and treated you like a close relative. Do you recognize this?" "

In the past fifteen years, the Lin family really had nothing to say to her.

Qiao Nian nodded heavily, "I agree."

"Then kowtow to your father!" the old lady said in a deep voice.

Now that the matter was over, Qiao Nianduan didn't dare to complain at all. He turned around and knelt down to Lord Lin, and kowtowed heavily.

Then the old lady continued, "After your biological daughter came back, she was harsh on your adopted daughter, causing her physical injury and heartache. My son, do you admit this?"

Marquis Lin's shoulders were trembling slightly, and his head was lowered so that others could not see his face clearly.

However, he nodded heavily.

The old lady just let out a long sigh, "In this case, the love between you and your daughter is over, and I will be the master again before I die. You give me three high-fives in front of me!"

Three high fives, break off the engagement!

Marquis Lin suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the old lady, "Mother!"

He couldn't believe that the old lady would make such a decision.

Qiao Nian was also trembling.

Therefore, the old lady asked her to kowtow just now in order to repay the Lin family's kindness in raising her...

But he saw that the old lady's face was gloomy and she glared at Mr. Lin fiercely, "What? Is it because I'm about to die after seeing the old lady and I can't speak anymore?"

"How could mother say that? Do you want to force your son to death?" How could Mr. Lin be able to withstand such a big charge?

But the old lady was not affected by Mr. Lin's sad expression at all. She only said coldly, "Then high-five Niannian!"

The voice stained with anger was particularly cold.

Marquis Lin finally nodded helplessly and slowly raised his hand.

Qiao Nian's heart was trembling, and she looked at the old lady with some worry, but she also understood that this was the way out that the old lady was looking for for her.

So, she raised her hand, her eyes were red, and she slapped Mr. Lin's palm heavily.

"Crack!"

"One high-five, from now on Qiao Nian will no longer belong to my Lin family!" Mr. Lin's voice trembled.

"Crack!"

A drop of hot tears rolled down. Mr. Lin took a deep breath, and his voice changed its tone at some point, "Two high fives, the friendship between you and my daughter is over today!"

"Crack!"

"Three high-fives..." After saying this, Mr. Lin felt his throat was so choked up that the warm memories of the past were flooding in, making him unable to say a word.

How can I say it!

As soon as he said this, his daughter was no longer his daughter!

However, the old lady shouted in her ears with all her strength, "From now on, life and death are irrelevant!"

This sound only shocked Qiao Nian and Lord Lin to look at the old lady.

However, after the old lady shouted these words, she seemed to have completed some huge task. She leaned back feebly, and then slowly closed her eyes, with a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth...
