The Return Of The Devil's Wife 13 Planting The Seeds Of Revenge 2

"Yan Xiaoyi, since you have courted death, you should prepare to be annihilated. You and Zhao Ming Hua will pay for everything. Especially my mother's death."

Yan Qing Shan murmured as she gritted her teeth. In her past life, she had learned that her mother's death was not an accident at all. Zhao Ming Hua had a backer who helped her machinate Zhao Ming Yue's death. However, Yan Qing Shan was unable to find out who that backer was except for the fact that it was someone from the underworld. She died before she could even discover who it was.

She took deep breaths and calmed herself, the killing intent shrouding her slowly faded. Yan Qing Shan took out her phone and dialled a number she had avoided contacting for so long. After a few rings, a deep aged voice resounded. Her throat constricted as she clamped down the emotions bubbling up in her heart.

"Jii-chan*"

Yan Qing Shan said with a hoa.r.s.e voice. There was a hint of yearning and reluctance in her tone.

[ ami? Is it really Ami-chan?]

There was an undeniable joy in the old man's voice. Yan Qing Shan was taken off- guard. When she left this grandfather of hers, she only left a measly note. She did not even think of how he would feel when she left. She did not think much of why he was so against her going back to the Yan family. He must have known about everything. He must have suspected the circ.u.mstances of her mother's death and feared for her safety. That must be the reason why after her father immediately remarried her aunt. He took her in without her father and Zhao Ming Hua's knowledge. At that time, she was too aggrieved by her father's actions so she went with him. He pampered her a lot. And gave her the love of a real family. Even going so far as proclaiming her his heir.

But in reality, he wasn't. Yan Qing Shan's maternal grandparents had long died. Asahi Reo and Zhao Long, her real maternal grandfather were best of friends. Only the former returned to his country to manage his inheritance. They lost contact afterwards. Reo tried to look for Zhao Long again but he had long gone. It was only his twin daughters who he found. Reo was a sharp and cunning man. He was particularly fond of the pure and honest Zhao Ming Yue. Having no children of his, Reo registered Ming Yue as his adoptive daughter. However, he completely seen through Zhao Ming Hua's nature and did not even bother with her.

When he learned about Zhao Ming Yue's death, he was furious. Doubting the circ.u.mstances of Ming Yue's death and fearing for her daughter's safety, Asahi Reo immediately looked for her. And tried his best to protect Yan Qing Shan. However, when Yan Qing Shan's father came to know of her whereabouts, he persuaded her to go back.

Yan Qing Shan couldn't help but ridicule herself. She had been naive and gullible. She believed her father really wanted them to be a complete family. And despite her knowing the maliciousness hidden in Zhao Ming Hua's innocent facade. She risked it. But all of Asahi Reo's fear came true. She met her demise under Ming Hua's hands. Yan Qing Shan thought of how devastated he must be when she died. It was another one of her regrets.

But it was different now. This time she'll come back to him. The only person along with her brother who gave her a semblance of warmth in the past. This time she'll be the one to protect them.

"En. It's really me, Jii-chan. How have you been?"

Yan Qing Shan answered him in fluent j.a.panese.

[So, you still remember me huh, brat? Of course, I'm good. Even better without you.]

The old man replied haughtily though his choking voice betrayed his emotions. She laughed merrily at this.

"Really? You're still the same, Jii-chan. Your words are the opposite of what you mean. I missed you, Jii-chan"

Yan Qing Shan replied to him sweetly. This tsundere old man.

[So what? I certainly did not miss you too. Why have you called after all this time?]

She shook her head. Really, he still did not change. Still as sharp as ever.

"Can't I call just because I miss you?"

She said with a hint of mischief. If someone saw her at this moment, they would be seriously shocked. The woman talking on the phone was certainly a far cry from the indifferent and aloof one that they usually see. The Yan Qing Shan looking over the windows while talking was like a mischievous fairy. Beautiful but dangerous.

[As if I'd believe that. Tell me what is it.]

The old man insisted gruffly. He still know her like the back of his hand.

"Grandpa, Izanami is returning."

Yan Qing Shan's smile took a strange transformation. From a mischievous fairy, her aura had completely changed. It was as if a G.o.ddess of destruction had descended.
