After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Background of Zhouzhou’s Mom
The Xi family.

Xi Yan, with disheveled red hair, entered the study. He had just woken up, and upon seeing the person behind the desk, his eyes lit up. He walked briskly towards him and asked, “Brother, you’re back?”

Xi Mo nodded faintly, continuing to look at the documents in his hand, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Seeing this, Xi Yan leaned over for a look, but before he could read the contents, Xi Mo lifted his eyelid and glanced at him, startling him into standing straight, no longer daring to look.

Calmly closing the documents and setting them aside, Xi Mo asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Xi Yan nodded repeatedly, “Brother, when are you going to move that coffin? It’s too scary to open my eyes every day and see it.”

“I’ll move it to my room later.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He recalled what Xi Mo had said during their phone call and asked in confusion, “Brother, what do you mean by the sister’s bones? Which sister?”

“Our biological sister.”

“Biological sister?” Xi Yan became even more confused and blurted out, “Has that annoying Xi Zhi finally died?”

Seeing the obvious smile on his face, Xi Mo slightly furrowed his brows. “I’ve told you so many times, don’t show your emotions so readily. You’re already an adult, yet you’re still so restless.”

At his words, Xi Yan pouted, “I’m just happy. I can’t stand Xi Zhi. She doesn’t resemble anyone from our Xi family at all. She’s so scheming. She has falsely accused me countless times since we were young. Every time she causes trouble, she’s always the first to tattle on me, causing me to get beaten by Dad many times. Hmph, but when did she die? Why didn’t I know?”

“It’s not Xi Zhi.” Unable to tolerate his foolishness, Xi Mo reminded him.

“Not Xi Zhi?” Xi Yan was bewildered. “Could it be that the old man has another illegitimate daughter? That shouldn’t be.”

Suddenly realizing something, he stood up abruptly. “Xi Zhi isn’t our biological sister?”

“Yes.” Seeing that he had finally figured it out, Xi Mo nodded faintly.

This time, Xi Yan was completely shocked. It took him a while to digest this information.

What his brother said must be correct.

“No wonder I’ve never liked Xi Zhi since I was young. It turns out she’s not even my real sister,” he murmured, becoming somewhat excited. But when he thought of the coffin in his room, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he mumbled, “Then how did our real sister die? How did she die?”

They were twins. He was only twenty-nine this year, and his sister was born on the same day as him. How could she be dead?

When Xi Mo heard this question, his expression suddenly turned cold, and his fists clenched tightly. He whispered, “She died for a man.”

“What?” Xi Yan wanted to ask more, but Xi Mo didn’t want to say anymore. He irritably took out a cigarette and started smoking. The smoke swirled around, making his brows and eyes appear even colder.

Seeing him like this, Xi Yan felt a little scared, but he still swallowed his saliva and asked, “Brother, what’s our sister’s name?”

“An Ya,” Xi Mo replied calmly.

“An Ya, Yaya…” Xi Yan repeated the name, and just thinking about it brought a warm feeling to his heart.

Is this the feeling of having a real sister?

Xi Mo’s gaze grew cold as he walked to the window, staring coldly in the direction of the Ye family.

He couldn’t even protect his own wife. Ye Lingfeng, you’re dead!

At this time, the Qin family.

After Zhouzhou woke up, she ran to the Qin family. Seeing that Qin Er and the others had dark circles under their eyes and looked dejected, she couldn’t help but run up and ask, “Brother Dafu, what happened to you? Didn’t sleep well?”

Seeing her, Qin Er yawned and said, “Caicai, it’s you.”

He waved his hand and his eyelids drooped again. In a weak tone, he said, “Don’t mention it. Someone was crying and howling last night, scaring me so I couldn’t sleep all night.”

“What? Ghosts?” Zhouzhou’s face turned serious. “Where are they? I’ll catch them!”

As she spoke, she pulled Qin Er and carefully observed him, realizing that there was no malevolent energy on his body, which put her mind at ease.

“I don’t know where they are. Every time I close my eyes at night, I hear the sound of ghosts, and it’s so unpleasant.” Qin Er furrowed his brow. “It sounds like they’re singing?”

Singing?

Zhouzhou blinked her eyes. She and her mother sang songs last night too. But she didn’t think about them at all because the little girl was confident in her singing despite being ordinary. Master said she sings very well!

An Ya and Ye Lingfeng, however, understood what was going on. Ye Lingfeng suppressed his laughter, walked up, and carried Zhouzhou to the side, changing the topic. “Let’s eat first. After eating, we still have important things to do.” They had to find An Ya’s remains and expose the person who used the soul-binding rope on her.

Thinking of this matter, Zhouzhou immediately shifted her attention. She propped her hands on the chair, swiftly climbed up, and started eating with a slurping sound.

Hearing their conversation, Grandma Qin asked, “Are you going out today?”

“Yes.” Ye Lingfeng nodded and explained the situation politely.

Grandma Qin understood, “This is a big matter. You need to do it quickly.”

Once everything was done, An Ya would have to reincarnate, and then Zhouzhou would truly be without a mother. Thinking of this, she glanced at her granddaughter with some heartache. She hoped that both she and An Ya would be fine, but she also worried that if their bond was too deep, she would be sad when An Ya left.

Sighing, she didn’t say anything more.

Qin Lie also glanced at her little granddaughter and used a tissue to wipe her mouth. Zhouzhou was completely unaware of her family’s worries. She looked up and smiled brightly at him, revealing her little millet teeth, obedient and cute.

Qin Lie’s heart softened, and he patted her head. Zhouzhou rubbed against his palm and, after finishing the last bite of her meal, put the bowl down, ran up to take out her compass, and happily said, “Let’s go, find Mom’s remains, and then send her for reincarnation!”

Grandma Qin: “…” Suddenly, she felt that her worries were somewhat unnecessary. She had forgotten that Zhouzhou was not an ordinary child. For Zhouzhou, death was not just death; it was also a new beginning. The cycle of life, old age, sickness, and death were all normal. Reincarnation had to be done early; it couldn’t be delayed. Otherwise, if she missed the auspicious time, just like her, she would end up with a shortage of money in her life.

She was open-minded about it, but An Ya found it somewhat amusing. Looking at the little girl who was determined to send her off, she suddenly became open-minded too. Even if she didn’t want to go, she couldn’t escape. It was better to face it openly. Before leaving, she would expose the person who trapped her, take revenge, and then reincarnate. In eighteen years, she would be a brave and strong person.

She really wanted to see which bastard dared to harm her!

After finishing their meal, the group followed the direction indicated by Zhouzhou’s compass. After several twists and turns, the car finally stopped in front of a villa.

Seeing the building in front of them, Ye Lingfeng’s face instantly turned cold, gritting his teeth, “I knew it was Xi Mo! I’ve known for a long time that he’s not a good person!”

The place in front of them was either the Xi family or somewhere else.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou frowned, put her hands on her hips, and retorted, “Nonsense, Uncle Gentle is a good person!”

As she spoke, a sharp sound suddenly came from the house, directly hitting Ye Lingfeng in the face.

Somethings wrong!
