Chapter 96: How Could You also Fall for It? (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Although he didn’t finish his words, Rong Yi and Yin Jinye could tell what he was trying to say.
Rong Yi could tell Xu Youlian suddenly showed up, she was definitely here not just asking for some spiritual stones.
So he smiled at Xu Youlian, “Grandma, I feel so happy that you can come to me. It’s just you come without being invited, and even wouldn’t ask the servant to inform that you are here. We just thought someone was trying to kill us or what, so he pushed you over subconsciously. Yes, it’s our fault. But you just cursed me, saying our whole family are a.s.sholes. Isn’t it also inappropriate?” “I…”
Rong Yi didn’t give her a chance to speak at all, he turned around and said to Rong Su, “Asu, my grandma has taken all the way here. Invite her in and let her have a good rest.”
On hearing him, Xu Youlian immediately said, “I’m not going in. Who knows what you would do to such a weak old woman like me if I go in? I don’t wanna die in there.”
Rong Yi then lowered his eyes, looking pretty seemingly upset, “I never know you would miss me so much, which really makes sad. Asu, since my grandma doesn’t want to go in, give her a bag of upper grade spiritual stones and find her a decent place to settle down. Oh by the way, find two good maids to serve her.”
“I don’t want your spiritual stones either.”
Rong Su really couldn’t take it, “You don’t want this, you don’t want that! What do you want, huh? You said we mistreat you! It’s you who are being unreasonable!”
Even those pa.s.sers-by now also thought Xu Youlian was being unreasonable now. Her grandson invited her and gave her spiritual stones and even got her servant girls, but she just didn’t want this and didn’t want that! What on earth did she want?
Noticing the crowd were all taking Rong Yi’s side, Xu Youlian argued, “Rong Yi, are you taking me as a fool, or a beggar? Do you think some spiritual stones can make me go? Rong Yi, let me tell you. No way! If you don’t spare half of the ingredients my son has left, this is never over!”
Rong Yi sneered in his heart. As expected, she was here for those precious ingredients, “Grandma, who told you my father left those ingredients to me?”
“That doesn’t concern you. As Weiyi’s mother, I have the right to take a share of the ingredients he has left.”
“But my dad didn’t leave me anything when he left.” Rong Yi thought if Rong Weiyi had really left some top ingredients to the original owner, the original owner wouldn’t have ended up like this, even having not a single spiritual stone on him.
“You liar! You just don’t want to share it with me!” Xu Youlian screamed and even rushed towards Rong Yi, trying to snap his robes, but got stopped by Rong Su.
Rong Yi then asked her back, “I lied to you? So did you see my dad has given the ingredients to me with your own eyes or hear that he has left those things to me?”
Xu Youlian, “…”
“Since you didn’t see or hear my dad has left the ingredients to me, what makes you say that I lied to you? Only because of a few words from others? You’d rather trust those n.o.bodies instead of your own grandson? You came to denounce your own grandson for some fict.i.tious gossip? Don’t you know what you did is really like stabbing my heart with a knife?”
“No way! They would never lie to me.”
Rong Yi snorted slightly, “They? Who are they in your mouth? Why did they tell you I got the ingredients if they didn’t mean to sow discord between us?”
Xu Youlian was struck dumb.
“Mom, mom, mom, are you all right?” A woman who resembled Xu Youlian ran to hold her up, “Mom, I told you not to come. Since that person has received such a big sum of fortune and is living a comfortable life himself. How would he share half of it with you? Don’t daydream! Come on. Let’s go home.”
Xu Youlian yelled at Rong Yi, “If he doesn’t give it to me, I will live here!”
Yin Jinye hated such unreasonable people most, so he ordered Rong Su, “Arrange a place for her and send some people to serve her and let her eat all delicacies and wear only superb silk clothes and give him a hundred upper grade spiritual stones every month as pocket money, let her enjoy her old age in peace.”
“Yes.”
Xu Youlian got tempted by the condition he provided.
Her daughter pinched her below the sleeve and whispered, “Mom, we are here for the ingredients. Don’t get tempted.”
Xu Youlian then came to her sense and said hurriedly, “No, I only want the ingredients.”
Rong Su said, “Old madam, your son did not leave any ingredients for our young master, nor did he leave half a spiritual stone for our young master. Since he moved into the Yin mansion, all his expenses have been given by our lord. We do not expect you to trust us. However, if you refuse our young master’s good intention this time, there’d be no next time. This is kind of once-in-a-lifetime chance, you know.”
Some kindhearted pa.s.ser-by also persuaded her, “Old madam, even if you grandson has those ingredients, it’s no better than that he a.s.sures you a good life. Think about it. Some day you are gonna run out of the money you get from those ingredients. But things would be different they support you. As long as you live, they have to support you and be filial to you. And you will never be short of spiritual stones.”
“I…” Xu Youlian wanted to say yes, but her daughter called her anxiously, “Mom…”
Xu Youlian hurriedly answered, “No…I…I don’t need them to support me. I only want the ingredients, or don’t expect me to leave!”
“If she doesn’t leave, then just leave her here.” Rong Yi was sick of talking to her and went back into the mansion. He already lost the mood to go shopping.
Others all thought she was being unreasonable, so all left.
“You heartless son of a b.i.t.c.h…” Seeing they all went back into the mansion, she started to cry, but everyone just ignored her.
