Chapter 197: Chapter 197: What Does the Crazy Woman Want with Me_1

"No need, thank you, Grandmother," your grandmother politely refused.

"Hmm, if you feel like eating them, come and find the old woman again."

With that, the old woman got on her tricycle and wobbly cycled away.

Within the mist, the sound of knocking on the bamboo pole still echoed: "Dong, dong-dong..."

It was only after the old woman had left that Xiao Meiyu gently patted her ample chest and said, "That was close, so close. If we had eaten the Old Lady’s dumplings, who knows, we might have been sawed into several pieces."

"Why are you so sure you’d be cut into pieces? Seems like you’ve done plenty of bad deeds yourself."

You teased.

"Yes, so if that moment really comes, you have to protect Yu’er, cousin."

"I don’t have that kind of spare time."

As you were speaking, two ghosts slowly approached you. When they were a short distance away, both of them bowed to you.

As usual, you returned the gesture and said, "You brothers have worked hard."

"Master Li is being too courteous. We have urgent matters to attend to and must take our leave," they said.

Having said this, they bowed to your mother again, and then slowly disappeared into the mist. In the mist, you saw three figures tied to the Soul Locking Chain...

When you turned back, you found Old Master of the Li Family already kneeling before another bodyguard, and the Old Master of the Li Family, with his head hung low, had already passed away.

Looking at the Old Master of the Li Family, you couldn’t help but sigh softly. As your grandmother had said, the Old Master of the Li Family was indeed a formidable figure, but to you, he was just an old man on the brink of death, painstakingly arranging for his lineage to continue through his third son and at the last moment of his life, sending his own son on the path to Huang Quan.

"Mom, let’s go."

Your mother nodded and wheeled the wheelchair towards the luxury car parked not far away.

"Mom, I’m going back to school first."

Clearly, you didn’t want to have too much contact with the Xiao Family, although you had mentally accepted your grandmother and your cousin who seemed quite dangerous.

Your grandmother glanced at your mother and said, "Ying’er, didn’t you have something to tell Little Muyun?"

At these words, you could clearly see your mother’s brow furrow. She looked down at your grandmother and said, "Mom, I will talk to Muyun properly about this matter, but after all, it is his life decision. The choice is his to make. If he does not agree, I cannot force him."

Your grandmother nodded and said with a smile, "I understand that, but I have absolute confidence in our Yu’er."

With just those simple words, you seemed to realize something. Your lips couldn’t help but curl slightly as you said to your mother with a smile, "Mom, I’ve found Zhao’er."

"What?!"

Your mother exclaimed, suddenly lifting her head and immediately asking, "Then... where is she?"

"Zhao’er is living with Er Ya now, and Er Ya is arranging a formal identity for her."

"Zhao’er... she hasn’t changed, has she?"

Your mother seemed very surprised and also somewhat nervous because, in her memory, the Empress was a very fierce figure; how could she possibly be with a young man like you?

Seeming to read your mother’s thoughts, you said with a smile, "Zhao’er is not the Empress. I’ll bring her home the day after tomorrow for you to meet her. She’s still the same Zhao’er."

Seeing your natural smile, sweet with a tinge of delight, your mother, familiar with your temperament, knew that a lot must have happened. Aware that a few words wouldn’t suffice to explain, she nodded with a smile and turned to your grandmother, saying, "Mom, it seems there is no need to talk about that matter anymore."

"Oh?" Your grandma couldn’t help but look at you and asked, "Little Muyun, this Zhao’er you speak of, what kind of girl is she?"

"Her? Just a silly girl." You couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Zhao’er’s dumb and cute expression.

"In that case, let’s set it for the day after tomorrow. You bring her over for grandma to see. If she passes my test too, I’ll personally host your wedding. How does that sound?"

"Sure, but whether I pass your test is not important to me."

Having said that, you turned around suavely, waved at them, and strode off in the direction of the school.

"This damn kid, just like his dad!"

When you got back to the dorm, you found Liao Yong on the phone with Liu Qing, cooing over each other in a sickeningly sweet way.

As for Wei Shuxian, he was engrossed in a Qing Dynasty book titled "Subtext," seemingly unaffected by Liao Yong’s mushy talk.

"Old Shu’s back, how did things go?"

Wei Shuxian closed the book and turned to look at you.

You nodded: "It’s all taken care of. They should transfer the remaining money tomorrow."

"What about Little Kai?"

You glanced left and right, realizing that the usually boisterous Yang Kai was nowhere to be seen.

Wei Shuxian pointed towards the bathroom and said with a laugh, "He’s been squatting in there for almost half an hour, not a sound heard."

"He’s not jerking off, is he?"

You raised an eyebrow and snickered sleazily.

"The hell, if I could jerk off for half an hour, I’d be sitting pretty finding glamorous rich ladies," Yang Kai emerged from the bathroom, cursing and complaining, "Damn it, I strained in there for more than half an hour, and only got a tiny bit out, not even enough to pick my teeth with!"

"Pfft—"

Just as you picked up your cup and started to gulp down water, you suddenly sprayed it out, dousing Liao Yong completely, his expression utterly woeful!

You handed tissues to Liao Yong while laughing and said to Yang Kai, "I’m saying Little Kai, can’t you talk about something less disgusting next time?"

Yang Kai shrugged, a look of helplessness on his face, "What can I do? My diet’s been irregular these days, leading to constipation."

"Well, that’s easy. Just go to Room 72 and have Nie Ying help you out."

At the mention of Nie Ying, Yang Kai let out a long sigh and said to you, "Old Shu, bro, I’m suffering here. Can you figure out a way to bring Nie Ying back to life?"

You scratched your head, troubled: "Little Kai, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I really don’t know how to solve this one."

"Don’t you know a couple of Ghosts? Just ask them and you’ll find out."

"Are you stupid? Ghosts catch spirits; they don’t restore them to life. If the Ghosts find out you’ve been having a secret affair with a ghost girl, they might just hook your soul along the way!"

"Then what should I do?" Yang Kai slumped into his chair, deflated. "You guys don’t understand, Nie Ying is actually suffering inside. She doesn’t show it, but I know it. She’s wanted to cook for me several times, but she can’t light the stove. Once she touches the flame, it’ll burn her soul."

Seeing Yang Kai like this, you sighed lightly and said, "I’ve been busy these days; let’s wait until things die down a bit."

"Hmm." Yang Kai nodded, seemingly remembering something, he suddenly looked up, "Oh, right, Police Officer Xie called me just now; she wants you to go to the Criminal Police Team to see her tomorrow."

"What does that crazy woman want with me now?"
