Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 188 A Good Person

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 A Good Person

If one were to say that the lives of others are merely lines of mild undulation, then Yu Leye’s life is a colossal parabola.

Her family wasn’t well-off during her childhood; her parents were early risers and worked tirelessly in their business.

Back then, her father loved her, and her mother doted on her; although they were poor, life was still very blissful.

However, when she was four, their family suddenly became wealthy. They had money to buy her many new clothes, pay for her painting lessons, and fund her singing and dance lessons; the only drawback was that they seldom saw each other, and it was always the nanny taking care of her. Although the nanny was kind to her, she could not replace her parents...

But she was young then, too insignificant to have her opinions considered.

Whenever this was brought up, they would say it was all for her future.

But who knows what the future holds? Perhaps there is no future.

Indeed, there was no future.

When Yu Leye was thirteen, her father developed a gambling addiction, and in one night, he gambled away the family fortune and eventually chose to leap off a building to his death.

Her mother never showed herself, and it was later rumored that she had run away with someone else. Some also said that her mother had a hand in her father’s death.

At thirteen, Yu Leye plummeted from heaven into hell overnight, losing both her home and her loved ones, turning into a lonely orphan.

"Grandma and grandpa?" Shen Siyuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Hadn’t she been taking care of Grandma with Shen Siyuan’s help before becoming an orphan?

"My grandparents passed away long ago; I never met them. As for my maternal grandparents, they also died when I was very young," Yu Leye said calmly.

"The one you wanted me to take care of was..."

"Grandma Xia, she is basically the nanny that has been taking care of me all this time..." Speaking of Grandma Xia, Yu Leye’s expression turned sorrowful.

"Grandma Xia said that my parents still owed her a large sum of nanny fees, and that before my mom paid her, she wouldn’t let me leave her side..."

"I know that Grandma Xia couldn’t bear to see me wander alone outside; she kindly took me in, providing me food, drinks, and even supported my education..."

"But Grandma Xia herself is also not well-off. When she was young, her partner passed away, and she struggled to raise her son, who turned out to be unfilial and dislikes me as well..."

"Grandma Xia hopes that I would study hard, but academics just aren’t for me. I want to earn money, a lot of money, so that I can provide Grandma Xia with a good life..."

Thus, after Yu Leye finished her college entrance exams, she chose to venture out against Grandma Xia’s advice.

But earning money is not so easily done; newly entered into society without qualifications, she first started working as a waitress in a restaurant, which she found too physically taxing for little pay, so she then took a job in a luxury boutique...

Yu Leye is beautiful and was in good conditions, so her monthly performance was always impressive, and her income was quite substantial. One might think she should be content with what she had, but having seen the life of the wealthy, her desires grew, she wanted more...

Hearing that working in nightclubs could be lucrative, and having learned singing and dancing when she was younger, she picked up the skills swiftly. Backed by her beauty, she rose quickly through the ranks in the nightclubs of Bin Hai. There, she became well-known and was always greeted with "Sister Yaoyao"...

But in her profession, earning was fast and so was spending, making it impossible to save money. Fortunately, she had some sense not to be blinded by the dazzling life around her.

She hadn’t forgotten her dream, and even opened a dance studio in her spare time.

However, nightclubs are one of the most chaotic places, and staying virtuous there was nearly impossible, especially for someone as beautiful and famous as her, attracting the envy of her peers and the covetous gazes of many men.

The more you try to stay true to your heart, the more people want to drag you down, such is the vice of humanity...

Then—

She didn’t know when, but she became addicted to drugs.

Maybe it was from a bottle of a drink from a dear sister, or maybe from a cup of liquor from some rich lad...

By the time she realized, it was already too late.

Plunging from heaven into hell once more, her sparse savings were squandered.

The day she phoned her grandma, asking her for money, she knew she was finished; drugs had demolished her sanity, transforming her into something less than human...

"I have no purpose left in living; only through my death could Grandma be unburdened by me..."

"My only concern is for Grandma. Not only have I failed to provide her the good life I intended, but I have also disgraced her. Once word of my deeds reached our village, people condemned her for harboring a societal pest, accusing her of being blind... Grandma has always valued her reputation greatly, and with her own son being unfilial, she decided to leave the village and has been wandering ever since..."

"Why do you have to treat me this way? Besides myself, I haven’t hurt anyone..."

Tears streamed down Yu Leye’s face, unstoppable no matter how she tried to wipe them away.

Upon hearing her story, Shen Siyuan also felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.

From start to finish, did Yu Leye do anything wrong? Was it wrong not to study well? Was it wrong to want to make a lot of money? Or was it wrong to work at a night club?

It seemed like she did nothing wrong, yet it also seemed like she did everything wrong.

And Grandma Xia, who always took care of her and treated her as her own granddaughter, did she do anything wrong?

She was just a kind-hearted old lady who wanted to take care of a lone girl, but in the end, it amounted to nothing and led to her being pointed at and derided.

"Your grandma, where is she now?" asked Shen Siyuan.

"Dafeng Town, a small city belonging to Lingyou. She has lived there for a long time, making a living from picking up trash..." Yu Leye said as she wiped her tears.

Duoduo seemed to have returned at some point and leaned beside her, seemingly trying to offer some comfort.

"Dafeng Town?"

Shen Siyuan took out his phone to check, finding that the distance was considerably long.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I will help you fulfill this wish. This Saturday, I will accompany you to see the old lady."

Without mentioning others, Grandma Xia was a good person, a respectable elders.

Of course, this is provided that Yu Leye is not lying.

However, seeing that she doesn’t show signs of karma binding her and revealing desires as her true nature, she must have been a decent person in her past life.

Of course, Shen Siyuan was not afraid of her lying; once under his Ten Thousand Soul Banner, she would have no control.

At this time, Dou Dou and Sun Meiqi were playfully walking back.

Dou Dou, the stubborn little one, insisted that they could go left.

Only upon reaching did they find a large lake blocking their path. They had to circle the lake, which meant a long detour.

The reason Dou Dou thought they could proceed was because she had always been flying in the sky before; not just to the left, but in all directions she could travel.

Therefore, on the way back, Sun Meiqi didn’t want to deal with her.

Yet, she kept trying to cheer her sister up.

"Sister Mei Qi~"

"What?"

"I’ll treat you to food later."

"I don’t want it."

"Then I’ll take you to watch cartoons."

"I don’t want to watch."

"Then I’ll sing a song for you."

"I don’t want to listen."

"Then I’ll cry for you to see as I sob..."

"Then I’ll spank you."

"Come on, come on... hehe..."

Dou Dou wiggled her little butt as she ran ahead, showing no fear at all.
