Lu Mo's back stiffened, and he gritted his teeth. What an ungrateful brat! Ye Zhiguo has ulterior motives; he's trying to ruin her by praising her. Of course, he hopes Ye Qingqing's grades will be as bad as possible.
Well, this girl is still young and doesn't understand the wickedness of people. Besides, if he says Ye Zhiguo has bad intentions, she definitely won't believe him. He'll keep a closer eye on her from now on!
We can't let our studies go to waste!
The three headed back home. Wushan Road was also lined with many plane trees, which provided cool shade. Most of the villas on both sides had their iron gates locked and were equipped with lawns.
That house is mine.
Ye Qingqing pointed to a villa by the roadside and said that although this house was not as big as the one Lu Mo bought, it was obviously well maintained, and there were two blond-haired, blue-eyed boys playing football on the lawn, having a lot of fun.
Seeing Lu Mo's expression change, Ye Qingqing raised her chin triumphantly. "Hmph, don't think you're the only one who owns a house here!"
She has one too!
"Did your mother leave this for you?" Lu Mo asked.
Ye Qingqing nodded, "Yes, there's another one on Kangshun Road, which my mother rented to foreigners."
Lu Mo's expression was solemn. Xu Yali had arranged everything before her death, definitely to guard against Ye Zhiguo. He remembered that Xu Yali and Ye Zhiguo had a very bad relationship and rarely appeared together.
If Xu Yali doesn't love Ye Zhiguo, why did she still marry him?
And she even had two children!
He didn't even leave any property to his son, Ye Tong.
Of course, it's very possible that it was too late. Xu Yali suffered severe bleeding during childbirth, and Ye Tong didn't even get to drink her milk before passing away. But Lu Mo felt that there must be another reason.
"Your mother had good intentions," Lu Mo said with emotion.
Xu Yali must love Ye Qingqing very much, which is why she thought so much about her and made such a meticulous arrangement.
Ye Qingqing looked somber and said in a low voice, "My mother's biggest worry before she died was Xiaotong. I need to earn more money so that Xiaotong can have a bright future."
She couldn't help but think of the night before Xu Yali died. She was only five years old then, and didn't understand anything, but she knew that her mother was about to die.
The ward reeked of blood, making it suffocating. Xu Yali's face was frighteningly pale, and she looked like a paper doll. Xu Yali gripped her hand tightly with astonishing strength, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Qingqing, remember what your mother said, you must remember what your mother said, take good...take good care of your little brother..."
At that time, Xu Yali was already barely breathing and her speech was intermittent. She repeated twice to remember her words. When she said the last sentence, Xu Yali paused for a long time, as if she was hesitating about something.
Ye Qingqing walked slowly, lost in thought, barely able to see the ground. Just as she was about to bump into someone coming from the opposite direction, Lu Mo quickly grabbed her, feeling helpless. This girl was even unreliable when she was walking.
"sorry……"
Ye Qingqing woke up with a start and quickly apologized. The person coming towards her was an elderly woman with a full head of white hair. She looked unwell and was very thin, but she had an elegant demeanor and wise eyes. She was clearly a very well-mannered old lady.
The old lady was leaning on a cane, and a young woman was supporting her as they walked slowly. A wheelchair was parked not far away, probably for practicing walking. Although it was afternoon, Wushan Road was very shady, and many elderly people were chatting and enjoying the cool air.
"Watch where you're going!" the young woman scolded, displeased.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Did I bump into her?" Ye Qingqing felt very embarrassed. The old lady looked like she was just recovering from a serious illness. If she had accidentally hurt her, she wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it!
The old lady smiled kindly and said nonchalantly, "You didn't bump into anything. Little girl, don't think about things when you walk. Bumping into people is fine, but if you bump into a car, that would be a big deal."
