Zhu Caiwei drove through the night back to the Zhu family's mountaintop villa on the western suburbs' Nine Linked Peaks. Their villa was the only one on the entire mountain peak. It stood alone and looked majestic.
Zhu Caiwei drove the car directly to the entrance of the main hall. She flung the car door open and walked in. Behind her, the family's servants helped her move the car to the garage.
"Little Yueyue? Why are you back? "
Her eldest brother, Zhu Huawu, happened to come out. When he saw the energetic Zhu Caiwei, his expression changed. Why did this girl come back at this time? Did someone leak the news?
"Zhu Huawu! How many times have I told you? Don't call me Little Yueyue! If you dare call me that again, I'll fall out with you! "
Zhu Caiwei bared her teeth fiercely at Zhu Huawu, looking like she would teach him a lesson if he provoked her again.
Zhu Huawu shook his head and smiled, compromising. "Okay, okay, okay. Our Little Yueyue has grown up. I won't call you Little Yueyue anymore, okay?"
Zhu Caiwei was exasperated. "You're still calling me that?! I'm going to tell Grandfather. See how he'll deal with you, hmph! "
Zhu Caiwei snorted, then turned her head and ignored Zhu Huawu. She ran into the bedroom with small steps.
Seeing that the little girl was still as mischievous as before, Zhu Huawu was relieved. This girl was still so heartless. It seemed like she didn't know what was about to happen here. Her return this time must be a coincidence.
"That's good too. Grandfather usually likes her the most. Let her spend the last moments of his life here with him."
Zhu Huawu lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand. He sighed softly. He didn't believe in supernatural fate, but for Little Yueyue to suddenly come back to visit Grandfather at this time, it might have been predestined by fate.
"Perhaps, this is the bond between blood relatives. Among the three of us unfilial grandchildren, only Little Yueyue has the strongest affinity with Grandfather. It's no wonder that Grandfather dotes on her so much! "
Zhu Huawu's mood was a little down. After another sigh, he raised his voice and called out to the door, "Uncle Jiacheng!"
Soon, an old man in his fifties with half of his hair already white bowed and flashed in from the door. He walked to Zhu Huawu and respectfully said, "Eldest Young Master, what are your orders?"
Zhu Huawu handed over the document in his hand and said in a deep voice, "This is the document that my grandfather just signed. Take a look and arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Zhu Jiacheng took the document with both hands. He glanced at it and his eyes narrowed. His expression changed greatly. He suddenly looked up at Zhu Huawu. "Eldest Young Master, this … Has Old Master's health really deteriorated to this extent? Should I inform the three ladies and Second Young Master to come back? "
"No need." Zhu Huawu shook his head and refused. "Grandpa doesn't like this kind of life-or-death situation. My three aunts and that brat Huanan are all abroad now. Even if I call them back, they won't make it in time."
"In fact, Grandfather only wanted to leave quietly and quietly. He didn't even have the intention to call Caiwei back. Fortunately, that lass Caiwei actually ran back by herself tonight. It can be considered as completing the last bit of fate between grandfather and granddaughter. "
Hearing this, Zhu Jiacheng sighed. Old Master had been a hero all his life. He didn't expect that in the end, he couldn't escape the cycle of life and death in this world.
"Since Old Master doesn't wish for Miss to be present, then we need to wait for Miss to leave before …"
Zhu Huawu shook his head again. "I'm afraid Grandfather won't be able to hold on for much longer. Besides, Little Yue Yue is already an adult. There are some things that she should experience. "
Zhu Jiacheng nodded sadly. "Understood. I'll go arrange it now!"
Zhu Huawu watched Zhu Jiacheng leave. He turned back to look at his grandfather's bedroom and sighed inwardly. He then walked back.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard his grandfather and the little lass talking and laughing. His face gradually regained its smile as he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Grandfather, it's all arranged!" Walking to the bed, Zhu Huawu respectfully reported to Zhu Zhengqi who was leaning on the bed.
Zhu Zhengqi nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned his head to look at his little granddaughter who was sitting beside him with great pity and reluctance.
"Huawu, did you specially call Little Yue Yue back?"
Zhu Zhengqi asked Zhu Huawu in a dignified voice. There was a hint of anger on his thin and yellow face.
Zhu Huawu's neck shrank back and he was so scared that he trembled. He couldn't help but think of the saying, "The water is deep and bottomless, but the tiger will not fall even after death." Although his grandfather was nearing the end of his life, his aura was still very strong.
"Of course not!" Zhu Caiwei didn't notice the anger in the old man's eyes. With an unhappy face, she pouted and interrupted, "Big Brother only knows how to be busy every day. He won't specially call me!"
After saying that, Zhu Caiwei intimately hugged Zhu Zhengqi's arm and said coquettishly, "Little Yue Yue suddenly missed Grandfather, so she rushed back in the middle of the night. I haven't even eaten yet. No one cares about me, humph!"
As she said that, Zhu Caiwei made a face at Zhu Huawu. You bullied me just now. See how I'll tell on you to Grandfather, humph!
Zhu Huawu felt relieved. Zhu Zhengqi shook his head and laughed. There was a warm feeling in his chest. Zhu Caiwei's words of "suddenly missed Grandfather" had hit the softest part of his heart. The corners of his eyes were a little moist for a moment.
"This child is fated to be with me. It's not in vain for us to be grandfather and granddaughter in this life!"
Zhu Zhengqi sighed in his heart. He was not an indecisive person. Since Zhu Caiwei happened to rush back, he didn't want to hide anymore. He said, "Little Yue Yue, do you know that Grandfather tonight …"
Before Zhu Zhengqi could finish his words, Zhu Caiwei took out an exquisite jade box from her little bag as if she was presenting a treasure. She excitedly interrupted Zhu Zhengqi's words and said, "Grandpa, look, I didn't come back empty-handed this time. I brought you something good!"
Zhu Huawu shook his head slightly. In the entire Zhu family, only Little Yue Yue dared to interrupt Grandfather in front of him.
If the same thing had happened to him or his second son, Huanan, Grandfather would have beaten them up long ago.
"Oh?" Zhu Zhengqi was not unhappy at all. Instead, he pretended to be curious and lowered his head to look at Zhu Caiwei's hand. "Come, let Grandfather see what good thing my precious granddaughter brought back for me."
"Ha!" When he saw what was in the box, Zhu Zhengqi couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't this just a cherry tomato fruit? Grandfather doesn't have much of an appetite now. Little Yue Yue, you should eat it yourself!"
"Grandfather, you're mistaken! This is not an ordinary cherry tomato fruit! "
Zhu Caiwei said anxiously. "This is a spirit fruit that I asked someone to pick from the mutated cherry tomato fruit tree in the east of the city. Its effect is comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng. Not only can it heal injuries and replenish Qi, but it can also prolong one's life! Grandfather will definitely get better soon after eating it! Prolong life for a hundred years … Bah! Prolong life for two hundred years! "
Zhu Caiwei had wanted to say prolong life for a hundred years, but when she remembered that Grandfather was already ninety-seven this year, it didn't seem very auspicious. She quickly changed her words.
Zhu Zhengqi looked at the lass dotingly. He could already tell that the reason why this lass had suddenly returned tonight was to return the Saint Fruit to him.
Her filial piety was commendable, but her experience was a little shallow. She didn't even know that she had been cheated.
How could there be a cherry tomato fruit that was comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng in this world? This child was too concerned and confused.
"Huawu, go and investigate later. Find out who has the guts to cheat my precious granddaughter!"
Zhu Zhengqi turned to Zhu Huawu and ordered. Zhu Huawu bowed in acknowledgment, his eyes faintly showing his understanding.
Seeing the two's attitude, Zhu Caiwei screamed in anger. Grandfather and Big Brother didn't believe her at all. How infuriating!
"Grandfather!" Zhu Caiwei shouted in displeasure. Then, her tone softened. She shook Zhu Zhengqi's arm and said coquettishly, "It doesn't matter if it's real or fake. Just try it. Even if it's just an ordinary cherry tomato fruit, there's no harm in eating it, right?"
The coquettishness that had always been effective once again showed its power. Zhu Zhengqi quickly raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, okay. Stop messing around. Grandfather will eat it!"
Just as Zhu Caiwei said, it was just a cherry tomato fruit anyway. He would eat it as long as his precious granddaughter was happy. As a grandfather, he would satisfy his granddaughter's last request.
"It's a promise. No going back on your words!"
Zhu Caiwei quickly took the cherry tomato fruit out of the jade box and personally put it into Zhu Zhengqi's mouth.
Zhu Zhengqi and Zhu Huawu didn't believe that the cherry tomato fruit was extraordinary, but Zhu Caiwei had personally experienced the wonders of the cherry tomato tree. She firmly believed it.
Before coming to Nine Linked Peaks, Zhu Caiwei had sent people to investigate the situation after she and Yang Fan left the cherry tomato tree. After all, it was important to be cautious. Yang Fan's words were only one-sided, so Zhu Caiwei wouldn't completely believe them.
In the end, the news that came back shocked Zhu Caiwei.
There was an unknown gas surrounding the cherry tomato tree. Within a hundred meters, all humans, insects, rats, ants, and all living things that could breathe were mildly poisoned and unconscious.
When Zhu Caiwei's people arrived, the police had already sealed off the scene. Preliminary analysis showed that the unknown poisonous gas came from the cherry tomato tree itself. Currently, the cherry tomato tree had been quarantined by the police. No one was allowed to go near it.
Clearly, the real situation under the cherry tomato tree was much more serious than Yang Fan's understatement.
This further proved that the cherry tomato tree was extraordinary. At the same time, it also proved that the cherry tomato could be a good medicine! Of course, it could also be poison!
Therefore, just in case, before coming, Zhu Caiwei personally used a miniature syringe to extract about two milliliters of the cherry tomato fruit's juice from the root. She fed it to her one and only pet at home — the mini musk turtle.
The little turtle was only the size of a cherry. After eating two milliliters of the cherry tomato fruit, it didn't have any adverse effects. Instead, it became energetic. Within five minutes of eating the cherry tomato fruit, its shell, which was originally only about five centimeters long, grew to seven centimeters at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The effect was unexpectedly good. It could be described as miraculous.
At this moment, Zhu Caiwei finally believed Yang Fan's words. This cherry tomato fruit was indeed very precious. To say that it was comparable to a thousand-year-old ginseng was an understatement.
