Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse
Chapter 220: Entrusting the Orphan on Deathbed

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Entrusting the Orphan on Deathbed

Old Road?

Jhiang Yuan was completely confused, and a bad hunch formed in her mind.

"Grandma, what do you mean by this?"

"Child, the Guardian Space Bracelet is our responsibility, and now that it has found its master, we’ve fulfilled our duty.

If I were gone, the next one would be Mianmian; I don’t want her to be unhappy.

This child has had a hard life since she was little."

She had heard some stories about Ye Mianmian’s background.

Growing up without parents and raised by her grandmother, she inevitably faced disdain from others.

Fortunately, Ye Mianmian was strong, and she fought her way through, making life better until the apocalypse struck.

"Grandma, I know, it’s not easy for Mianmian, nor for you..."

What surprised her was that this space belonged to her.

"Child, my time is nearly up, please, you must take care of Mianmian for me in the future.

I beg you..."

The elderly woman’s eyes were filled with pleading.

This change was too sudden, it was hard for her to accept in the moment.

"Grandma, please don’t say that..."

"Miss Yuan, for the sake of the lifetime I have guarded, please keep an eye on Mianmian.

She’s my only concern left, I beg you..."

"Ah...

Grandma, don’t worry, as long as Mianmian is willing, I will treat her well in the future..."

How they sounded, like a couple, yet to say they were sisters didn’t quite fit either.

There were parents involved; never mind, best not to think too much about it.

As long as the old woman was at ease, there was nothing to fuss about.

"Good, good..."

Grandma Ye’s emotions were a bit stirred, her hand trembling lightly as she patted her.

"Child, please call Mianmian in..."

"Okay, wait a moment..."

As Jhiang Yuan opened the door, Ye Mianmian came up nervously.

"Sister Yuan, how is my grandma?"

"Mianmian, go see Grandma!"

At this moment, she couldn’t say everything was okay, a well-intended lie, but obviously it didn’t look like nothing was wrong.

Tears sprang from Ye Mianmian’s eyes again; she hurried into the room.

Jhiang Yuan thought for a moment and didn’t follow.

She guessed Grandma Ye had some words for Ye Mianmian, and being an outsider, it was inappropriate for her to interfere.

Song Yi looked at her and also sighed, "Is everything OK?"

"Mmh!"

Jhiang Yuan nodded and smiled helplessly.

Song Yi had already distributed sugar water to everyone, sending half next door as well.

Hearing about Grandma Ye’s poor condition, Xiao Ling also dragged her weary body over.

Seeing her, Jhiang Yuan suddenly thought of Jingjing, and couldn’t help but ask after her.

"Everything’s sort of okay, just lacking energy; she went to the bathroom less today and didn’t eat much, quite troublesome."

"Children’s stomachs are particularly delicate; keep an eye on her..."

"Ah!"

With Grandma Ye’s example before them, no one dared to be careless, fearing the worst.

Several people stood outside, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

"Grandma, Grandma..."

Ye Mianmian’s crying grew louder, startling everyone; this was not a good sign.

Jhiang Yuan at the front, quickly went over to check.

Right then, Grandma Ye saw her and reached out her hand.

She hastily went over, Grandma Ye placed Ye Mianmian’s hand in hers.

The sparkle in her eyes faded, returning to its usual cloudy appearance.

"Mianmian, you must listen to Miss Yuan, you must obey."

Ye Mianmian, unable to stop crying, could only nod in agreement.

Turning her head, she again instructed Jhiang Yuan, "Child, you must take care of Mianmian for me, you must....."

"Grandma, rest assured....."

Everyone held their breath and focused.

Two minutes later, Ye Mianmian’s heart-wrenching cries echoed through the room.

Song Yi, worried, opened the door to check.

Indeed, it was just as he had imagined.

Fan Qing and Xiao Ling were both there consoling her, and Jhiang Yuan was patting her back.

"Mianmian, stop crying, find a set of clothes that Grandma liked.

While her body is still warm, let her depart with dignity!"

Ye Mianmian lifted her head, tears streaming down like broken pearls.

"Sister Yuan, my grandma is gone, my grandma is gone....."

Jhiang Yuan also felt discomfort in her heart and embraced her.

"Stop crying, this way, Grandma won’t rest peacefully."

Everyone tried hard to console her, and though they were grieving, there were still things that needed to be done.

They asked Song Yi to call Qin Yue down too, since she had experienced many such events and was more experienced in handling this kind of situation than they were.

Together with a few others, they changed Grandma Ye’s clothes, wiped her face, and combed her hair.

Ye Mianmian cried uncontrollably yet persisted, insisting on participating in every step.

Jhiang Yuan knew she was doing this in her own way, seeing Grandma off on her last journey.....

After they had arranged the body, they faced another issue.

After discussing, they let her speak.

Ye Mianmian held her grandma’s hand, ignoring everything else.

"Mianmian, the deceased has passed, you need to look forward.

Grandma’s body....."

She hesitated for a long time but couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

"Sister Yuan, I want to stay with grandma for two days, go and tell everyone.

Burn her body after three days!"

"Ah!"

Jhiang Yuan sighed, understanding how she felt.

She closed the door and quietly stepped out.

"How is it, Yuanyuan?"

"Mianmian says to cremate after three days, she wants to stay with Grandma a while."

"Let’s do as she wishes!"

Song Yi immediately made the decision, knowing that Grandma Ye’s sudden departure was tough for her to accept, which was normal.

People always need time to buffer, and since it’s cold now, it shouldn’t be an issue.

"Alright!"

Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing had no objections, and for the others, it didn’t concern them.

"These two days, take extra care of Mianmian."

"Don’t worry, Sister Yuan....."

Being under the same roof, it was indeed much more convenient.

She would not neglect her, having promised Grandma Ye.

Everyone went back, Qin Yue sighing deeply.

"Mom, don’t overthink it, Grandma Ye was over eighty, life isn’t easy these days.

Passing away is also a kind of blessing....."

Qin Yue exhaled deeply, indicating she understood.

"Birth, age, sickness, and death, no one can escape it, I’m just worried about that child, now she’s left all alone.

If your dad and I are gone one day, what will you and Xiao Nuan do?"

"Mom, why talk about such things? We need to be well....."

"Alright, Mom will stop talking....."

Qin Yue still sighed, then went to cook instead.

Jhiang Yuan now especially understood that feeling of "children wanting to support their parents, but they are not there," so she must be with her parents whenever she has the chance.

Cherishing each moment, these might be the initial moments one can’t return to.....

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight? Cook a bit more, I’ll bring some for Mianmian!"

"Alright, then later you take it over to her, I will put some in a thermal lunch box soon!"
