Everyone was shocked, especially Chen Lan, who excitedly grabbed Yan Yaoyao.

"Yaoyao, are you serious?"

Yan Yaoyao winced in pain and brushed her hand away, her heart filled with intense hatred for Yan Qiao.

If it weren't for her, I could have slowly found out how to keep this inheritance for myself.

Now that Chen Lan knows, it's like having another stumbling block.

Given Chen Lan's patriarchal nature, even if she were to inherit the money, she would not give it to her.

"Mom, the suicide note is right here in my hands, how could it be fake?"

Yan Qiao scoffed and did not argue with her.

"Whatever you say. I'm going to visit your grandmother now. Could you please tell me the address of the nursing home?"

Yan Yaoyao said seriously, "Grandma's health is not good, and it's common knowledge that she doesn't like you. I don't want you to go and upset her. Yan Qiao, the things of the older generation are in the past. You should let it go too. Can't our two families just live peacefully?"

Even Chen Lan advised, "Yan Qiao, the old lady is not in good health, it is really not appropriate for you to go. Let's just skip it today."

Yan Yaohui had no objection, but since both mother and daughter thought it was bad, then it was bad.

"Yan Qiao, let it go."

Shen Qunbo and Shen Wu remained silent, as this was a family matter of the Yan family.

Chen Zhou stepped forward and said, "Yan Qiao, Yao Yao is right. If you really want to visit her, you should wait until Grandma Yuan is feeling better. If you go now and something happens to Grandma Yuan, you'll become the one who sins."

Everyone was trying to persuade her, and if Yan Qiao continued to insist, she would seem unreasonable.

Yan Qiao nodded and looked at Chen Zhou, saying, "It's rare that you say something that makes some sense."

Then, she turned around and looked at the camera.

"You should join me too, so that netizens can testify for me. Don't blame me if something goes wrong later."

Yan Yaoyao's expression changed drastically. "No! Yan Qiao, you're not a child anymore. Can't you be more sensible? Grandma's current condition is not suitable for seeing you."

Yan Qiao smiled and asked in return, "Is it not suitable to see me, or not suitable to see anyone?"

The mockery in her eyes stung Yan Yaoyao's eyes, causing her to quickly look away.

“You’ll upset Grandma, so of course she can’t see you.”

Zhou Yuanxi had just made a deal with Yan Yaoyao, so naturally she was on Yan Yaoyao's side.

"Yan Qiao, you're so young, how can you be so materialistic? If it weren't for money, you would never have visited the old lady in your life, so why are you putting on this act now!"

Yan Qiao glanced at her and quickly understood.

Zhou Yuanxi probably already knew about the existence of the inheritance.

Otherwise, someone as stingy as her wouldn't be willing to bleed so much money to give Yan Yaoyao such a large dowry.

“Aunt Zhou, stop criticizing others. Take a look in the mirror now and see what kind of person you are. Everyone knows that I have a grudge against Ms. Yuan Mengchun. If it weren’t for the inheritance left by my grandfather, I really wouldn’t have gone to see her today. You’re absolutely right about that. As for being greedy for money, I’m not as good as you.”

Every single deal she made with Yan Yaoyao involved money.

Yan Qiao glanced at the generous betrothal gifts on the table and scoffed.

"Aunt Zhou is really generous with these things. Did Yan Yaoyao exchange her inheritance for them?"

Yan Qiao's words hit the nail on the head, causing both of them to change their expressions simultaneously.

Zhou Yuanxi is the least likely to lie, and Shen Qunbo knew perfectly well what was going on with her guilty look.

I thought Zhou Yuanxi had changed her personality, but now I realize that she wanted to trade a small thing for a big one.

Holy crap! This is incredible!

Where there's more money, there's bound to be more trouble.

Come on, my family isn't rich, and those relatives are as cunning as sieves. Compared to them, I'd rather be rich.

So these betrothal gifts were obtained by Yan Yaoyao using her inheritance? I thought Chen Zhou's mother was really that generous.

When Yan Qiao spoke, the first person to react was Chen Lan.

She already considered this inheritance as her own; what right did Yan Yaoyao have to touch it!

"Yan Yaoyao, you traded your grandfather's inheritance with her!"

Chen Lan couldn't hold back anymore. How could there be such a stupid person!

Yan Yaoyao turned her face away in embarrassment, denying Yan Qiao's statement: "Mom, that's not true."

Zhou Yuanxi proudly admitted, "That's right. Yao Yao has promised me that she will take back the inheritance and exchange half of these things with me. Chen Lan, do you think your daughter is worth me giving up these things? Take a good look in the mirror. If it weren't for Chen Zhou's insistence, I wouldn't have let someone like Yan Yao Yao into the house."

Chen Lan's face turned ashen: "You! Let me tell you, the inheritance belongs to the Yan family. Yan Yaoyao has no right to decide. Take these things back; we don't want them!"

Zhou Yuanxi sneered, "Fine, Chen Zhou, take your things and let's go home. We're not getting married!"

Chen Zhou was caught in a dilemma and felt extremely troubled.

"Mom! The wedding date has already been set. If we don't get married now, where will we put the face of the Shen family? How are we going to explain this to Grandpa?"

Zhou Yuanxi then regained her senses and considered many practical factors.

Yan Yaoyao took her hand and coaxed her softly, "Aunt Zhou, I can make my own decision about this. The things are mine, and I won't go back on my word."

Zhou Yuanxi gave her a stern look and said, "I hope you keep your word."

At this moment, Pei Lingxian handed his phone to Yan Qiao.

"Here's the address, shall we go?"

Yan Qiao looked down and saw that it was the address of the sanatorium.

"Is Ms. Yuan Mengchun here?"

Yan Yaoyao's face gradually paled, and she denied it, "No! How could you possibly know where my grandmother is!"

Pei Jingzhan adjusted his mask, revealing only his eyes, yet they were captivating.

"It is indeed difficult to find. After all, I never expected that the Yan family would send the old lady to such a place."

Zhou Yuanxi's lips moved slightly, Pei?

She stared at Pei Jingzhan without blinking, and a terrible thought suddenly occurred to her.

The more I look at it, the more it resembles it!

This...this...did she just call him an "old man"?

"scene……"

Shen Qunbo suddenly gripped her wrist tightly, "It's their family matter, you shouldn't meddle."

Zhou Yuanxi seemed to have been suffocated and suddenly given air; she lowered her head and gasped for breath.

The elders of the Shen and Pei families were old friends, and their descendants also had a good relationship.

But the descendants mentioned here do not include her and her two children.

As the new head of the Pei family, it is of course crucial to maintain a good relationship with Pei Jingzhan.

Despite being an elder, Pei Jingzhan never showed Zhou Yuanxi any courtesy, not even bothering to pretend.

Zhou Yuanxi had met him many times, but each time she was like a quail, not daring to say a word.

Her thoughts were in turmoil, on one hand wondering how Pei Jingzhan could be with Yan Qiao, and on the other hand wondering if she had offended him.

What if he holds a grudge?

As she regained consciousness, she heard Yan Qiao say, "This nursing home is located in the suburbs. There have been many cases of elder abuse in the past, but I didn't expect it to still be in business. It's really kind of you to go to such lengths to find such a place."
