ABRWF Chapter 363.1

“Xiao Xiao.” Jiang Nanshu crouched down.

A black and white tabby cat jumped out and rubbed against Jiang Nanshu’s legs.

Jiang Nanshu reached out and stroked its smooth fur, her eyes crinkling with a smile: “You’re still here.”

“Miss, you’re back.”

An aged voice came from behind the door.

It was an elderly man with gray hair.

Jiang Nanshu stood up, holding the cat, and smiled brightly at him: “Uncle Qi, I’m back. Why is your hair all white?”

Uncle Qi’s face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyebrows were long, the kind of longevity eyebrows, like those of the Maitreya Buddha in paintings.

He smiled at Jiang Nanshu: “I’m getting old. I’m sixty-five this year. I used to be able to have you dye my hair, but after you left for three years, I can’t even find anyone to dye it anymore.”

“I’ll dye it for you now. Darker hair makes you look younger.” Jiang Nanshu, carrying the cat, walked inside.

Actually, not much has changed here.

The house that caught fire years ago had been restored to its original state at Jiang Nanshu’s insistence.

The house could be repaired exactly as it was, but that person was gone forever.

Jiang Nanshu used to dislike being in places filled with Zhou Yanxu’s scent, as it would constantly remind her of the past and keep her trapped in a cycle of internal conflict from which she couldn’t escape.

Now, seeing it again, her feelings have changed.

The hurdles that used to be difficult seem easier to overcome now, and her obsession with him is slowly fading. Jiang Nanshu doesn’t know if this change means everything is getting better, but she will no longer dwell on the past.

She dyed Uncle Qi’s hair and fed the kitten food.

Jiang Nanshu wanted to collect Zhou Yanxu’s ashes and take them to Hong Kong to bury them.

She searched on the bookshelf in Zhou Yanxu’s room, but couldn’t find it anywhere.

“Don’t bother looking anymore, Miss. The Eldest Young Master’s ashes were taken away by the Second Young Master.”

Uncle Qi appeared at the door.

He looked much more energetic after dyeing his hair black.

He walked in.

He took a rag and wiped away the barely perceptible dust from the cabinet.

This room had originally been burned down.

At Jiang Nanshu’s strong suggestion, the entire structure was completely restored. Jiang Nanshu arranged even the smallest details, such as the position of a book, just as when Zhou Yanxu was still alive.

“Zhou Yanbai? What did he do with Zhou Yanxu’s ashes?”

Jiang Nanshu’s tone was puzzling.

Uncle Qi gave a bitter smile: “Because of resentment. He resented that the Eldest Young Master didn’t consider him when choosing an heir, but instead chose you, a complete stranger with no connection to the Zhou family. After the Eldest Young Master’s death, this place began to desolate. The old servants have all left, leaving only Xiao Xiao and me to guard this place. With your sudden departure, I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to find your way home. We’re waiting here so that when you return, you’ll see us and feel at peace.”

“This house is going to be sold because of the Second Young Master’s interference. We’ll be leaving soon. Fortunately, you came back before that.”

Uncle Qi had followed Zhou Yanxu his entire life, staying by his side from the moment Zhou Yanxu was born and accompanying him as he grew up.

His feelings for Zhou Yanxu were comparable to those of a father.

And this was the place where Zhou Yanxu had lived the longest.

Jiang Nanshu looked up and saw the most conspicuous photo on the cabinet.

It was a photo of her and Zhou Yanxu. Back then, her features were still quite youthful, and she smiled like a little sun, her arm around Zhou Yanxu’s.

She reached out and took it.

She had kept the photo carefully, touching it with a touch of nostalgia.

She looked up at Uncle Qi and smiled, “Don’t worry, this house is still ours. No one can buy it.”

After seeing Uncle Qi off, Jiang Nanshu went back to her room.

Even though she hadn’t lived there for years, it was still spotless.

She checked one of her bank cards and found that the balance was indeed 20 billion.

Thankfully, Dashachun didn’t play a trick on her.
