Chapter 136: 136: Upset Grandma Hialun (1)

26th of December. Early in the morning, a lot of the guests who stayed over started going home after eating a bountiful breakfast prepared at the Moonlight Lake Mansion. There were also those who stayed and were playing to stay over until New Year; among them, Grandma Hialun decided to stay with the Yue family in this mansion until New Year was over. The Yue family was glad that he was staying with them until the new year; after all, Grandma Hialun rarely leaves the province due to her aged body weakening. But thanks to the pills Yue Xuexia sent to her as supplements, her body slowly gets better until all the hidden ailments are resolved.

Grandma Hialun's staying over at the mansion made the Yue siblings wake up early to spend time with their grandma. They would sometimes accompany her to the greenhouse, planting some vegetables and also harvesting some with her. There is also the orchard. When the old lady wanted to pick some fruits, the Yue family would go with her and walk around the mansion together.

Yue Xuexia also took this chance to check on her grandma's body and treat her if there was something wrong with it. Moreover, she let her eat a lot of Longevity Pills, which she used as a pretext for chocolate balls. She made it sweet, and she allowed her family to enjoy it as well. The energy in it will not only extend their lifespans but also strengthen their bodies.

Every day, the Yue family will crowd around the old lady, making her smile as she looks at her granddaughters with gentle, doting eyes. They were having a lot of fun and forgot about something that involved Grandma Hialun and the Xing family. They didn't expect that one morning, Grandma Hialun would walk around the subdivision, checking on the other houses of her children within the inner region of the subdivision.

It was then that she learned that one of her daughters, Xing Suya, who she thought was still alive, was long gone before her. She was given the feeling of sending a black-haired person before the white-haired person. The news of Xing Suya's death from a terminal disease, breast cancer, was finally learned by the old lady, and it greatly upset her.

Yue Xuexia and the Yue family, as well as the rest of the relatives from the Xia Clan's side, had gathered in the Xing family's mansion. It seems that Grandma Hialun almost had a seizure, and thankfully Yue Xuexia arrived on time to save her from a bad result. Even so, Grandma Hialun was still so upset when she learned that her daughter, Suya, had died and no one else had informed her. Actually, her other daughters and sons chose to collectively not tell her about this tragic news.

Actually, Grandma Hialun knew why her children chose to hide it from her. During that year, when Hei Suya died from cancer, she was also not in a good state due to the pandemic. It was already surprising that she survived when she tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. It is no wonder no one agreed to tell her about Xing Suya's death.

Now that her children had once again gathered in the Xing family's mansion, Grandma Hialun, who was crying until she fainted, was healed by Yue Xuexia, who even used Sacred Healing, a Divine Tier skill, to cure her grandma, as she was afraid that something bad would happen to her. Yue Xuexia likes her grandma Hialun the most. She is no different from her parents and siblings. That's why she was saddened by her grandma's state.

While the children of Grandma Hialun were watching and looking after her in the guest room prepared by Xing Roulan, Yue Xuexia came out for a while to drink water. She panicked when the news broke that Grandma Hialun had had a heart attack. Today was the first time she ran as fast as she could after becoming an adult. Xing Roulan followed her to the kitchen, where she also served some snacks for everyone in the house.

Xing Roulan called for her younger brother, Xing An. "Xiao An, send this tray of snacks to your uncles and aunts. Do it quieter. Your grandma was resting."

"Don't worry. I know, Jiejie," said Xing An as he left the kitchen with a tray of snacks.

Xing Roulan sat beside Yue Xuexia and asked, "How's Grandma, Xue'er?"

"Her body is alright. That seizure wasn't normal, but it was affected by her psychological state. She got too emotional, and it was bad for her age," answered Yue Xuexia.

Xing Roulan looked a bit stressed and guilty. She was the one who accidentally told Grandma Hialun about her deceased mother. "Sigh~, that's good. If something happened to Grandma, I might not be able to forgive myself."

"It's not your fault, Jiejie. It's indeed almost Aunt Xing's death anniversary. It's only right that you prepare for it. But with this, Granny would most likely ask to see her as soon as she wakes up. We can only go at this point," said Yue Xuexia. "I'm going as well, just in case something happens."

"Thank you, Xue'er," Xing Roulan said. "You've also moved Mom to a greater location. I heard you bought a lot of land and transferred most of our Xia Clan's deceased people to one location. That's where Grandpa Xia was buried, right?"

"It's nothing. It's good for them to be together in one place. It would be easier for us to visit them this way." Yue Xuexia, as if she thought of something, told her cousin about what she discovered about their deceased Grandpa Xia. "Jiejie, there is actually something weird about Grandpa Xia's remains. It was my plan to change his coffin, but when my people dug him up, there were no remains inside the wooden casket. Not even a single bone. It was empty inside."

Upon hearing this news, Xing Roulan frowned and felt that this situation was weird. Bones don't melt and would remain after death unless a corpse is cremated and turned to ashes. There is no way that a single bone will remain after all these years. Even dinosaurs, who only existed in myth, had fossils remaining as proof of them. For their Grandpa Xia's remains to disappear, is impossible.

Yue Xuexia said, "I've investigated everything, but they said no one visited Grandpa Xia except for our Xia Clan and Granny. Don't you think this is weird, Jiejie?"

"It is, but now it's not the right time to tell others about this. Just in case, there is no need to tell the others. Grandma would be even more upset if she heard about this news about Grandpa. Since no one knows except for the two of us, there is no need to tell the others. Xue'er, just forget about this!" said Xing Roulan.

Yue Xuexia sighed and said, "Okay, Jiejie."

Grandma Hialun slept through the whole night, and the Xia siblings decided to look after their mother as a pair. They would change shifts every three hours, just in case Grandma Hialun woke up in the middle of the night. She had slept through the whole evening, only waking up in the morning with a melancholic expression on her face. She was still carrying the picture frame with Xing Suya on it.

As expected, Grandma Hialun said during breakfast, "I want to see Suya!"

Her sons and daughters looked at one another and sighed helplessly.

Yue Xuexia's first uncle, Xia, stood up and held Grandma Hialun's hands. "Okay. We will all go with you. Let us all visit Suya together."

"I will arrange the car for everyone. I led everyone where I moved Aunt Suya. A center for our Xia family alone," said Yue Xuexia.

Yue Xuexia called the Rolls-Royce Motor Company's nearest branch and asked them to send a few Cullinans for everyone. Under her leadership, an entourage of Cullinan heads to a private cemetery for the Xia Clan. Candles and flowers were already prepared by the people guarding the cemetery for everyone in the Xia Clan. They were informed that an entourage from the Xia Clan would be coming over.

While supporting Grandma Hialun, everyone followed Yue Xuexia's lead. The whole cemetery was done in a minimalist design, and all the tombstones and coffins were replaced. Moreover, there will always be someone to clean up the place, especially guarding it 24 hours a day. In front of the white tombstone with an exquisite gold lining, Aunt Xing Suya's photo was displayed, and engraved into the tombstone were not only the full name and last message for Xing Suya but also the date of her birth and the date of her death.

As soon as Grandma Hialun saw the tombstone and her daughter's photo, where she was brightly smiling, she couldn't help but cry as she kneeled down. She even hugs the tombstone, making everyone cry at the scene, including Yue Xuexia.

Grandma Hialun was hugging the tombstone as she said, "Yaya! How could you leave before your mother!?"

"Didn't you say you were healed?"

"How can it end like this?"

"Mother is weak. If only Mother hadn't gotten sick, I would have stayed with you until the end."

"Yaya, mother is sorry~ Wuwuwu~"

In this scene, almost everyone in the area couldn't hold back their tears, and this is especially true for the Xing family, who understood that if not for the COVID pandemic that affected their grandma, she would have most likely stayed with Xing Suya during her lowest moment, even until the end. It was just that Grandma Hialun had gotten weaker ever since she was affected by COVID and even after she was cured, her health was hit the hardest and she could barely go on journeys and even get emotional. It was only lately that Grandma Hialun had gotten healthier and this is thanks to the meticulous care of Yue Xuexia's medical skill and pills.

Tan Bingyu and Taiyang, who were outsiders, were supporting Yue Xuexia, who couldn't hold back her tears at this moment. Almost everyone from the Xia Clan was emotional when they heard Grandma Hialun's words. Even though it was their decision not to inform their mother about the death of their sibling, this was for the good of their mother at the time. They didn't want to let it get too upset about the news of Xing Suya's death. But it seems that they are also wrong. Seeing how much remorse and pain Grandma Hialun is suffering right now, they feel like they have done the wrong thing, yet at the same time, they don't regret doing so.

While the Xia family was busy looking after Grandma Hialun's situation, Taiyang noticed an uninvited guest watching from the sky. He narrowed his eyes and looked up. He noticed that it was the old gentlemen, He, Yue Xuexia, and Tan Bingyu who met at the Stone Gambling Hall. Even though he didn't know why this old man was here, Taiyang still gave him a warning through divine consciousness.

Great Elder Xia, who was watching from above, suddenly heard Taiyang's cold voice lingering in his ears.

{If you are here for business, Xue'er will only meet you after the new year. Don't you dare descend? I will kill you on the spot before anyone sees you!} Taiyang said.

The Great Elder from the Starfield Sect couldn't help but tremble upon hearing his voice. When he met the eyes that were looking up from below, he was even more terrified. He glanced at the scene for the last time, especially at Grandma Hialun, who was still wailing loudly while hugging the tombstone. He couldn't help but grip his hand into his fist, and his lips turned into a horizontal line. He closed his eyes and took his leave, as if he couldn't bear to continue watching the scene under his foot.

Taiyang stared at him until he left the area completely. Though he didn't know what that old man was here, obviously he knew Grandma Hialun. He plans to inform Yue Xuexia about this once she calms down, or at least when the others are gone.
