Chapter 158: Digging for Treasure with Elder Brother Li (1)   “Auntie, I will take care of you until the end of your days. I beg you, please don’t pursue the matter anymore. I’m begging you,” Auntie Zhu pleaded. “I will rebuild your house for you and give you everything. But please, will you and Tianxin let Youran off? Auntie, she is still so young. Her life would be ruined.”

“Go home, Auntie Zhu! We will not withdraw the lawsuit. As for what will happen to Ye Youran, that is her fate and has nothing to do with us!”

Auntie Zhu felt hopeless.

If her daughter went to jail, her life would be ruined!

She was about to take the college entrance examinations.

She was about to have a bright future.

But why...why had everything come to this?

“Tianxin, it was my fault in the past, but I already learned from my mistakes. Will you please show mercy and let Youran off?”

Ye Tianxin shook her head once more at Auntie Zhu. “No!” Ye Tianxin refused firmly.

“Ye Tianxin, it will be the death of me!”

Auntie Zhu realized that even if she were to have a heart attack at this very moment, Ye Tianxin’s heart would not soften.

She stood up and was about to threaten Ye Tianxin when Guan Chenxi swiftly got hold of Auntie Zhu.

“Auntie Zhu, we don’t want you dead. Do be careful. If something happened to you, then it would benefit Uncle. Uncle might take this opportunity to remarry and have a son. Then everything you’ve worked hard for all these years will go to that son. Don’t you think so?”

Auntie Zhu’s face was red in anger upon hearing what Ye Tianxin had said. The most irritating of all, however, was the fact that it was true.

That’s right. She must not die. There was still hope to fix this mess.

If she were to die, it would only benefit other women. She had worked so hard for everything that she had. Why would other people benefit from her hard work?

Auntie Zhu stood up and glanced at Grandmother and Ye Tianxin. In the end, she left quietly.

The news that Ye Youran had committed arson quickly spread throughout the town.

Everyone sympathized with Ye Tianxin and Grandmother. Their house had been perfectly fine until it had been burned into ashes. Ye Tianxin and her grandmother were very pitiful.

How vicious must Ye Youran be to do something like that?

As for what would happen to Ye Youran in the future, Ye Tianxin did not care at all.

After the incident, Ye Tianxin found some time to remove the things under Grandmother’s bed.

Ye Tianxin borrowed a hoe from the neighbors and walked into the courtyard.

When she saw Grandmother’s bed, she felt dismayed once more.

Grandmother’s bed was an eight-step bed. The craftsmanship had been exquisite. If not for the fire consuming it, it could have been displayed in a museum.

Ye Tianxin was alone. How could she move the heavy bed?

Ye Youran suddenly heard someone pushing open the courtyard doors. She turned to look who it was.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me!” a familiar voice responded.

Li Qingcang’s tall figure was already inside the courtyard.

He was wearing a casual white shirt and a dark-colored pair of joggers, as well as a pair of white shoes.

He looked dashing as he stood under the pear tree in the courtyard.

There was a warm glow on his handsome face. Ye Tianxin was relieved to see Li Qingcang.

“Elder Brother Li, what are you doing here? I thought it was someone else.”

Ye Tianxin tossed the hoe away and run towards Li Qingcang excitedly.

“Don’t run. Be careful!”

Ye Tianxin stood before Li Qingcang. She lifted her beautiful little face and looked at Li Qingcang with eyes shining like stars.

Then, she grabbed Li Qingcang’s wrist.

“Elder Brother Li, you came at just the right time. Shall we go and dig for treasure together?”
