Chapter 828: Leave The Dead In Peace (2)

Zhao Youlin nodded. She seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, “Grandfather…”

The former master was mentioned by Zhao Youlin. Zhao Shunrong looked a little helpless. “You know how he is. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although Zhao Youming and Zhao Youxi have never been recognized by him, they were still part of our Zhao family’s bloodline. Shuncheng… and the former master are definitely upset. Now that they are all gone, I’m thinking of bringing their bodies back after this matter is over and holding a small memorial ceremony so that they can be buried in peace… Youlin, you… If you feel uncomfortable…”

Zhao Shuncheng was very careful when he said this, as if he was not sure if Zhao Youlin would be unhappy with him doing this.

Zhao Youlin smiled. “They are no longer of this world. No matter what they did, it’s over. Just do as you will, Dad. I have no objections.”

No matter what she thought of them, now that they were both dead, there was no point for her to pursue the matter any further. Moreover, she could not deny that at the last moment, if it had not been for Zhao Youxi, Joy might have…

Zhao Shuncheng heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Youlin and Joy had narrowly escaped death. Su Ruixin did not dare to be negligent. Before she returned, she decided to stay and wait for Zhao Youlin to give birth to the child safely.

Zhao Youming’s matter was resolved so abruptly that Zhao Youlin and Sirius, who had rushed back from abroad, were caught off guard.

Although it was a pity that they could not end their enemies with their own hands, Zhao Youming’s death had eased Sirius’ many years of knots in his heart.

When Zhao Youlin proposed to let him head back to Kirsten, Sirius declined with a smile and told Zhao Youlin that the cooperation between the two companies was not over yet. He would stay in Shalnork until the cooperation between the two companies was over.

…

Since he had said so, Zhao Youlin naturally nodded and agreed.

As she looked at Sirius’s back, Zhao Youlin suddenly felt a weight on her back and a hand on her waist.

Mu Tingfeng’s chin rested on her shoulder, with a trace of nostalgia, he said, “Why didn’t you tell him that the girl had a conflict with Zhao Youming because she heard Zhao Youming and another girl talking about how they framed him, and that she was pushed down and died?”

Zhao Youlin sighed. “So what if I told him? Would that girl come back to life? If that’s the case, why do I have to let him bear the responsibility of another person’s life after he finally found his peace?”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flashed, but he said nothing else.

The case of Zhao Youming and the others was quickly closed. Three children of the Zhao family had died, and one of their sons was sick. Although they were afraid of the power of the Zhao family and the Mu family, they didn’t dare to talk about it on the surface, however, in private, rumors had begun to spread that the Zhao family must have crossed something they should not have and was cursed.

Zhao Youlin and the others naturally knew that there would be all kinds of exaggerated rumors outside. However, they were used to not thinking about such rumors and did not bother to look at them.

Zhao Youlin had been thinking about how to make Zhao Youming, Zhao Yifei, and the other annoying people disappear from her sight. However, when these people really disappeared and could no longer appear in front of her… she suddenly felt a little empty again.

A gloomy aura enveloped the entire Zhao family until the spring festival quietly arrived.

Zhao Youlin, Mu Tingfeng, and the others had spent the spring festival with Duan Yarong and the others. In order to bring some life into the atmosphere, they had even called Zhao Shunchang over.

After all, they were all children who had watched them grow up. After Zhao Yifei’s death, Zhao Shunchang had also been depressed for a period of time, but then he cheered up.

The dead were dead, and the living still had a long way to go. They did not have that much time and energy to reminisce and be lost in grief.

The fireworks outside the window quickly flew into the sky and bloomed brilliantly in the dark night sky.

Zhao Youlin stood by the window and looked at the children, who were extremely excited and happy because of the fireworks. Her eyes flickered and were filled with a faint glow.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her from behind and held her in his arms. His magnetic voice followed closely. “What are you thinking about?”

Zhao Youlin obediently moved her body closer to the arms of the person behind her and said with a smile, “Nothing. I just think that this is pretty good.”

Mu Tingfeng looked in the direction where Zhao Youlin was looking and saw the children running and laughing in the courtyard. The coldness on his face also softened a little. He said in a low voice, “When the children are a little older, we’ll go out for a walk together.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mu Tingfeng. “Go out for a walk?”

“Yes. There are no annoying jobs, no parents, no in-laws. Just you and me. Let’s go out for a walk together.”

Mu Tingfeng’s deep eyes seemed to contain some starlight that could suck a person into them at any time.

Zhao Youlin felt a little drawn into his gaze. She knew that Mu Tingfeng’s words were irresponsible and unrealistic, but she still couldn’t help but nod and lightly respond, “Okay.”

That night, the two of them hugged and watched the fireworks, spending their first new year together.

Not long after the spring festival, An Qi successfully gave birth to a fat boy.

The birth of a new life temporarily dispelled the depression brought by the deceased. The old master finally smiled again. He was extremely fond of this great-grandson who had just been born.

The days seemed to gradually calm down, but the silence made people infatuated. They only felt that it would be great if they could continue like this.

Unfortunately, some things in this world would never pass so easily.

Another month passed. An Yue and Han Yichen’s child was one month old. The house had not been lively for a long time. They wanted to take this opportunity to invite more guests to have a good time.

Zhao Youlin’s belly was already very large. Duan Yarong and the others were extremely busy, but she was only allowed to sit and watch.

On that particular day, the Zhao family was brightly lit. Many people who were familiar with Zhao Youlin, Han Yichen, and the others, or who had business dealings, came to congratulate them.

Of course, there were also many people who were not familiar with them and purely wanted to use this opportunity to brush up on their familiar faces.

“Yue Yue’s child is so beautiful. It’s only been a month, and I can already see the similarities between the two of you. This boy will definitely grow up to be a handsome young man.” Su He stood beside An Yue. She stared at the child in An Yue’s arms, who had already opened his eyes and clicked her tongue in admiration.

There was no parent who did not like others to praise their child. As soon as Su He finished speaking, An Yue immediately lowered her head shyly, but her eyes were filled with pride and love for her child.
