Chen Zhao wanted to fulfill his grandparents' wish, so he looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Madam, can my grandmother leave here?"
"sure."
Lin Xi explained, "After the earthbound spirit eliminates its obsession, it will automatically go to the underworld to report. Take Lan Yan to see your grandfather one last time."
Lan Yan looked up. "What's wrong, Brother Chen?"
Chen Zhao answered truthfully, "My grandfather is old and has difficulty walking. He has been lying in bed recuperating, and the doctor said... he doesn't have much time left."
Lan Yan was very anxious. "I want to see him."
Lin Xi took out a soul-nourishing talisman. "You've been here for decades, so your soul is relatively weak. This yellow talisman can temporarily protect your soul."
Lan Yan looked grateful. "Thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome." Lin Xi took out her phone. "Your grandson will give you a thousand."
Chen Zhao transferred the money skillfully.
If Madam had such ability, she would have charged an even higher price if it weren't for President Fu's sake.
Chen Zhao made up his mind to work overtime late into the night from now on to repay his wife's kindness.
Lin Xi made a hand seal, "You can stay peacefully in the Soul Nourishing Talisman."
The blue smoke turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Xi handed the Soul Nourishing Talisman to Chen Zhao, saying, "Hurry up and go."
Chen Zhao thanked them again, "Madam, Mr. Fu, thank you."
Fu Jingyao stood quietly in the background, a little surprised as this was the first time he had seen Lin Xi use magic.
His wife is really amazing.
Yes, this is his wife.
Fu Jingyao's lips curled up involuntarily, and he naturally took Lin Xi's hand.
"Let's go home."
"good."
The Maybach sped away, leaving Chen Zhao unprepared to be bombarded with a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Tsk tsk! When it comes to romance, President Fu is anything but aloof and reserved. He's constantly showing off his love, making this single guy suffer.
"Zhaozhao?"
Lan Yan's voice came from the talisman, and Chen Zhao immediately stood up straight. "Grandma, I'm taking you back to our hometown now."
His hometown wasn't far from Beijing; it took him three hours to drive there.
His father, Chen Yan, was taken aback when he saw him. "Zhao Zhao, it's Wednesday today. Why are you back? Don't you have to go to work?"
Chen Zhao rushed in, "Is Grandpa alright?"
Chen Yan sighed, "Your grandfather's health is still the same. The doctor said... it'll be over this month."
“Your grandfather kept clutching a photo and calling out ‘Yanyan’ over and over again. He missed your grandmother, but he couldn’t find her after so many years. Your grandmother probably passed away a long time ago.”
"Zhaozhao, don't mention your grandmother later..."
Chen Zhao interrupted him, "Dad, I brought Grandma back."
"Huh?" Chen Yan's eyes widened. "Zhao Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no one with you."
Chen Zhao explained briefly, "After Grandma died, she became a bound spirit. She didn't go to the underworld to be reincarnated; she just wanted to see you and Grandpa one more time."
Chen Yan reached out and touched his forehead, gently reminding him, "Zhao Zhao, do you... want to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Knowing he didn't believe her, Chen Zhao took out the Soul-Nourishing Talisman from his pocket and released his grandmother.
Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in the middle of the empty room.
Chen Yan was a little scared, "Zhao Zhao, she, she..."
The woman in front of me looks very young, is extremely beautiful, and has a noble air. Could she be a ghost?
Chen Yan slapped his face hard. "Hallucination, it must be a hallucination."
Chen Zhao said, word by word, "Dad, she's Grandma, you should call her Mom."
Chen Yan: "..."
This kid is seriously ill. I really want to call the police right here and send him to a mental hospital.
Lan Yan was still a little confused. She looked at Chen Zhao, then at the unfamiliar man.
"Are you my son?"
Chen Yan took a step back. "No, I'm not."
Chen Zhao pushed him hard, "Dad, she really is Grandma, quickly call her Mom."
Chen Yan looked at him as if he were a lunatic. "Zhao Zhao, you're crazy."
Chen Zhao was utterly speechless.
His dad has a weak mentality; he's going to get slapped in the face later.
Lan Yan smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao, it's perfectly normal that your father doesn't believe it. I died when he was very young. Take me to see Brother Chen."
Chen Zhao walked forward, "Grandma, Grandpa will definitely recognize you. My dad is a blockhead."
Lan Yan laughed and said, "Your grandfather is smart, and so are you."
Chen Yan: "..."
These two are calling him stupid, but he has a good son!
He admitted that his father and son were both better than him. His father had fought in battle when he was young and had led thirty men to wipe out the local warlord.
My son is exceptionally bright. He entered the gifted youth program at the age of fifteen, went on to earn bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, and graduated with a doctorate at the age of twenty-four. He then joined the largest listed company with a starting annual salary of one million.
Chen Yan wasn't very capable; he became a high school teacher in the county town and got married and had children very late in life.
He was terrified when he saw the two of them walk into the next room together.
"Hey, Chen Zhao, stop right there! Your grandpa can't take a scare."
Chen Zhao raised her hand to stop him, "Grandma, you go ahead."
Chen Yan roared angrily, "Chen Zhao, you're really sick! If anything happens to your grandfather, I won't let you off the hook!"
Hearing the commotion, the old man in bed slowly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly drawn to that familiar figure.
"Yanyan... Yanyan!"
Chen Jun was visibly excited. "Yanyan, I've been looking for you! I've finally found you..."
The two had not seen each other for eighty years. Their memories had become hazy and their appearances had changed drastically, but they recognized each other at first glance.
He is her Brother Chen, and she is his Yanyan.
Lan Yan walked step by step toward the person she remembered. "Brother Chen, it's been a long time."
