Chapter 1422: An Entire Manor as Inheritance

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Later that evening, Grandma Jian called Jian Yiling to her room.

“Darling, you’ve truly grown up now and even become a mother yourself. I’m really happy to see this. Even if the Gods ask me to close my eyes right now, I would have no regrets,” Grandma Jian softly said.

A content smile appeared on her kind face.

The Gods treated her well. She almost lived a life with no regrets.

Her marriage with Grandpa Jian was successful and long-lasting. And even though they were old, they were not lonely. They still had children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren to accompany them.

Her sons were all very successful and filial.

Her grandchildren all had excellent careers.

And most importantly, her only granddaughter had grown up and established her own family.

She really had no regrets.

“Grandma will live a long life,” Jian Yiling said with certainty.

“Silly girl,” Grandma Jian said with a smile as she stroked Jian Yiling’s head. “Everyone will pass away someday. I’m already in my late seventies. I’m indifferent about death.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling lowered her head. She knew doctors could cure diseases and save people. However, they could not change someone’s life expectancy.

Grandma Jian continued: “When I saw that man today, he reminded me about something from the past. It just so happens that there is something that I want to give you.”

Jian Yiling lifted her head and looked at Grandma Jian in surprise.

“It’s some land that the Xie family owned in Country M. After my family disappeared back in the day, I inherited that property. However, at that time, I couldn’t bear to visit or return there. I was also worried that if people knew that someone was still alive in the Xie family, they’d do something against me. Hence, it’s been abandoned for all these years since then.”

Grandma Jian deliberately tried to not think about the Xie family. As a result, she eventually had forgotten about the manor in Country M.

After all, she only lived in that manor when she was a young girl.

“Grandma, I don’t need it. Give it to my brothers.”

“Silly girl, your grandparents always planned to leave the property and real estate to you. Your brothers can make money to support their own wives and children. You’re our only granddaughter. You’re different from them. And don’t worry, I’ve also mentioned this to your brothers. None of them have any objections.

When Grandma Jian saw the hesitancy on Jian Yiling’s face, she added: “You’re not allowed to refuse. If you refuse, I will be unhappy.”

“Then I won’t refuse. Please don’t be unhappy.”

“Good good. I won’t be unhappy then,” Grandma Jian said with a smile.

“Grandma, do you really not want to know where that piece of vellum leads?” Jian Yiling asked.

Jian Yiling did not give an answer to the man wearing an eye patch.

However, Grandma Jian was also a member of the Xie family. Shouldn’t she also be curious?

Grandma Jian shook her head and replied: “I’m already this old. There’s no point in pursuing the truth. And even if my family didn’t die back then, they’re all dead by now.”

Grandma Jian was not obsessed with finding the Xie family.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling nodded her head.

“In a couple of days, let’s head to Country M to complete the formalities. You can consider this as a honeymoon for you and A Sheng. Sitting in the hospital all day was incredibly boring right?”

Jian Yiling basically did not get a chance to go outside ever since she gave birth to her child.

Jian Yiling nodded and said: “Mhmm. Let’s go together.”
