After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

"Your grandmother is my eldest brother's personal caregiver," Qin Yun interjected.

Mingyun was taken aback. "My grandmother never told me this."

Qin Yun said, "Of course I won't tell you, because something happened back then... We all thought that more than twenty years ago, she, like my older brother and sister-in-law, had died..."

Mingyun's head was buzzing.

She never imagined that the old rural woman she thought she was was actually a nanny for the Qin family.

Grandpa Qin said, "Back then, my eldest son and daughter-in-law were both in a car accident and fell off a cliff. According to the investigation, Xiaoxue was in the same car with them at the time. But afterwards, only my son's body was recovered from the river below the cliff; my daughter-in-law and Xiaoxue were never found..."

Speaking of these things, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Then, trembling, he grasped Mingyun's hand. "Xiaoyun, I must see your grandmother immediately and ask her what exactly happened back then!"

Mingyun looked troubled. "I'm afraid you won't get any information from her. My grandmother... has already developed Alzheimer's disease."

"What?!" Old Master Qin froze.

After a moment's thought, Mingyun took off the pendant. "If this belongs to the Qin family, then I'll return it to you."

Old Master Qin accepted the pendant. "This thing... was a proposal gift I gave to my wife decades ago. Later, my wife gave it to our first son, Qin Shan, telling him that if he met someone he loved, he could give it to her... Alas, I never expected..."

The old man was deeply saddened by the tragedy that had befallen Qin Shan.

Thankfully I had just taken some nitroglycerin, otherwise I would have fainted again.

Afterwards, he decided to go and see Mei Yingxue.

Even if the other party is already suffering from dementia and may not be able to get any more detailed information about what happened back then, it is still very necessary to visit this maid who was once like half a mother to Qin Shan.

So, that very evening...

The group accompanied Mr. Qin from the nearest airport to the polar port and flew back to China as quickly as possible.

-

Since her divorce, Mingyun's father has become much more obedient, and for some unknown reason, he left Binhan and went to another place.

In the past two years, he has never contacted Mingyun again, nor has he asked her for money.

Of course, Mingyun never contacted him proactively.

As for her younger brother, Ming Tianheng, Ming Yun paid for him to study abroad.

Only her mother, Zhou Xiu, and grandmother, Mei Yingxue, remained at home.

Mingyun would give him living expenses on time and visit him whenever she had time.

It was around midnight.

The group arrived at Mingyun's maternal home.

When Zhou Xiu opened the door, she didn't recognize any of the other three people besides her daughter and son-in-law.

"Oh dear, daughter, why didn't you tell me you were bringing guests? Look at me, I'm not prepared at all..." Zhou Xiu said, her face full of embarrassment.

Mingyun quickly introduced them, "Mom, these two are my parents-in-law, and this is Grandpa Qin."

"Ah! So it's our in-laws!" Zhou Xiu panicked even more. "I'm truly flattered by your presence! Please, please come in!"

She invited everyone into the house and then began to prepare things, serving tea and water, cutting fruit, and even thinking of making something to eat.

Grandpa Qin stopped her, saying that he had come in a hurry and had disturbed her, so she didn't need to go to such trouble.

Then he said no more and had Mingyun take him to see Mei Yingxue.

Inside the bedroom.

Mei Yingxue was still awake, sitting in her wheelchair, staring blankly out the window.

"Xiaoxue..." Old Master Qin approached slowly, his voice trembling, "Do you still recognize me?"

Zhou Xiu stood at the door, looking around in confusion. She quietly tugged at Mingyun's sleeve and whispered, "What's going on? Does your grandma know Old Master Qin?"

Mingyun gestured to her with her eyes not to ask any more questions.

Zhou Xiu then shut her mouth.

"Xiaoxue?" Old Master Qin squatted down next to the wheelchair and called out again.

Mei Yingxue slowly turned her head, looked at him, and said nothing.

Next to the entrance.

Qin Yun whispered to Mingyun:

"Aunt Xue is a senior member of the Qin family. Her parents used to work with the old man's father. After her parents passed away due to illness, she stayed in the Qin family. At first, she worked as a maid for the old man. Later, when my eldest brother was born, she became his nanny."

"My mother is in poor health, and my eldest brother was basically raised by Aunt Xue. It's no exaggeration to say that she is my eldest brother's second mother."

"Later, my eldest brother eloped with my sister-in-law, and Aunt Xue followed them to take care of my pregnant sister-in-law..."

"Sigh, I never imagined that after almost thirty years, Aunt Xue would look like this when I saw her again."

Qin Yun's tone was full of sighs.

Zhou Xiu naturally overheard these words.

Zhou Xiu's expression instantly became somewhat strange, and her complexion was also a little off. She would occasionally look at Mingyun with a very complicated gaze.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Mingyun asked. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Xiu forced a smile, "No... I'm fine..."

Mingyun didn't think much of it.

Inside the room, after being called by Grandpa Qin again and again, Mei Yingxue seemed to respond. She took the initiative to hold the old man's hand and looked at his face intently, as if trying to remember something.

"Xiaoxue, it's okay if you don't remember me, but do you still remember... do you remember Qin Shan?"

Grandpa Qin asked patiently.

"Qin...Shan..." Mei Yingxue murmured, then suddenly her eyes widened and she cried out, "Help...help me! Help my little Shan...help me..."

Everyone tensed up instantly.

Grandpa Qin gripped her hand tightly. "Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Tell me!"

Back then, Qin Shan drove his car off a remote mountain road and plunged into the river below.

There were no surveillance cameras on the roadside at that time.

By the time the Qin family learned of the incident and began their investigation, they could no longer find any clues about the car accident.

Therefore, no one knows whether it was an accident or some other cause.

Mei Yingxue was trembling all over, her eyes wide open, staring straight ahead, as if she had remembered something terrible.

"The money...you can have all the money...please don't hurt them..." Mei Yingxue said tremblingly, "They're about to become parents...the baby...the baby is about to be born..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin and the others all changed their expressions drastically.

The "the two" she was referring to should be Qin Shan and his wife.

Clearly, what Qin Yun encountered back then, along with his pregnant wife and nanny Mei Yingxue, was not a simple accident!

Grandpa Qin wanted to press for more information, but Mei Yingxue was in a very bad state and couldn't say anything. She just held her head and cried.

The old man was both anxious and distressed, clutching his chest and breathing heavily.

"This won't do," said Ono. "Let Grandpa and Grandma rest first, and we'll think of another way tomorrow."

Several people immediately went over and helped the old man away.

Zhou Xiu and Mingyun quickly comforted Mei Yingxue.

After a while of fussing, the two elderly people finally calmed down.

But now a problem is facing everyone.

Everyone wants to know the truth about the accident that happened to Qin Shan and his wife back then.

But how can we get Mei Yingxue, the only one who knows the truth but is already suffering from dementia, to tell us the real situation?
