Chapter 1164: Chapter 1168: A Hundred Years of Good Harmony, Forever United in Heart

Yian Jingxue’s legs went weak, and her body swayed; she was steadied by Ye Xingbei and Han Zuo, one on each side.

The doctor sighed and said to her, “Go, see your grandfather for the last time. He’s having a moment of lucidity; his spirits are still quite good, and you have a few minutes left.”

Yian Jingxue, crying, thanked him and stumbled into the emergency room.

Seeing the old man lying on the emergency bed, Yian Jingxue cried so hard she couldn’t see anything clearly anymore. She threw herself on the bed, clenched the old man’s hand, and buried her face in his chest. “Grandpa, don’t leave me… Don’t leave me, I’m scared… Grandpa, please don’t go, don’t leave me alone, Grandpa… I’m so scared… I’m so afraid…”

Murky tears flowed from the corners of the old man’s eyes as he tremblingly stroked Yian Jingxue’s head.

How could he bear to leave his granddaughter?

But his body was simply not strong enough.

It was pitiful that his granddaughter was still so young, and both her parents and now he were leaving her, leaving her all alone with a bunch of relatives who were as fierce as wolves and hardly different from enemies.

His eyes struggled to move and finally settled on Ye Xingbei, who stood behind Yian Jingxue.

He reached out to Ye Xingbei, “Beibei…”

Ye Xingbei quickly stepped forward, holding his hand, “Grandpa Yian.”

His voice trembling, the old man said, “I… I leave our Xiao Xue in your care from now on.”

Ye Xingbei nodded firmly. “Grandpa Yian, rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Xue, for sure!”

Senior Master Yian then looked toward Han Zuo.

Han Zuo stepped forward and squatted down beside Yian Jingxue, “Grandpa, rest assured, I will also help take good care of Xiao Xue.”

“Very good,” a few murky tears slipped from the old man’s eyes as he regretfully said, “It’s a pity… I won’t be able to drink to your and Xiao Xue’s wedding…”

Han Zuo was momentarily taken aback, suddenly remembering that, in the old man’s eyes, he and Yian Jingxue were still boyfriend and girlfriend.

Glancing at Yian Jingxue, who was shaking with sobs, he put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean into his embrace as he looked into Senior Master Yian’s eyes and said, “Grandpa, I promise you, I will be good to Xiao Xue for my entire life.”

“Good… good…” The old man struggled to reach out and grab Yian Jingxue’s hand, placing it in Han Zuo’s hand, tears rolling down as his mouth bent into a kind smile, “Our Xiao Xue, although sometimes she has a bit of a temper, is a very kind and adorable person, and she cares for others. Treat her well, and she will do the same for you…”

Han Zuo clasped his palm and held Yian Jingxue’s hand tightly within it, nodding firmly: “I know, Grandpa, Xiao Xue is a good girl, I will treat her well!”

“Good… good…” Senior Master Yian covered their hands with his aged ones, his affectionate gaze resting on them as he smiled and blessed them, “I wish our Xiao Xue and you love and harmony, a hundred years of happiness… I wish you to grow old together, with a life full of smooth sailing…”

His breath grew weaker, his voice fainter, and his eyes, watching the two of them, slowly closed.

Yian Jingxue’s eyes widened, her breathing stopped, and she called out tremblingly, “Grandpa… Grandpa?”

Senior Master Yian’s eyes closed completely; the hand resting on Han Zuo’s hand fell limply.

“Grandpa!” Yian Jingxue’s heart shattered as she tremblingly checked for his breath.

There was no breath.

…Grandpa was gone.

He had left her…

Yian Jingxue felt a buzz in her ears, darkness before her eyes, and then she knew nothing more.
