Chapter 1771: Chapter 1771: Truly, the World Is Ever-Changing

The tragic news of the Yang couple spread, leaving many neighbors in disbelief. After all, they were fine just yesterday, and now they’re gone. People couldn’t help but lament, "Truly, life is unpredictable."

The old couple’s funeral is scheduled for seven days later. As for the hospital expenses, the three siblings surprisingly didn’t involve Luo Qiao. They pooled their money and covered it themselves.

She knew exactly what they were up to and scoffed internally.

The funeral was carried out in an impressive manner, and the three disciples did not have to worry about anything since the Yang siblings didn’t want them, as outsiders, involved.

This allowed Luo Qiao to take it easy, only needing to watch over the spirit daily without having to manage anything else.

The neighbors were still gossiping, "Did Yang’s children finally grow a conscience?"

"I doubt it, most likely just a show for everyone."

"Isn’t it more about the Yang couple’s property? They are really very pragmatic."

"The wife of Yang’s second child said that they combined money for this hospitalization and didn’t let Luo Qiao pay a penny."

"Are they worried about Luo Qiao sharing in the inheritance?"

"They are really dreaming too beautifully. They probably don’t know that years ago, when Professor Yang was hospitalized, he already made a will. They likely miscalculated."

Someone curiously asked, "Made a will, did he leave the house to Luo Qiao?"

That person mysteriously smiled, "I can’t say now, but once the couple’s affairs are settled, someone will handle it."

The couple’s affairs were organized smoothly, with old friends, students, neighbors, and colleagues coming to pay their last respects. When everything was over...

As they left the cemetery, Hao Xiujie blocked Luo Qiao’s path, "Luo Qiao, now that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, shouldn’t you return the keys you have to us?"

Luo Qiao looked at the gloating face and felt speechless. She took out the main door key from her bag and handed it over, "Here’s the key, but the house isn’t yours either."

Hao Xiujie mocked, "Not mine, yet you think it’ll be yours? Don’t even dream about it."

Luo Qiao didn’t want to argue further. She knew it wouldn’t be long before Hao Xiujie couldn’t act so arrogantly anymore. Since the Master and Mistress had passed, the Yang family matters would no longer concern her. So, after bidding farewell to her fellow disciples, she went directly home with Lu Yichen.

Luo Qiao was in a bad mood, so she went straight to her room to curl up once she got home.

Lu Yichen had specifically taken leave to stay with her, "Qiaoqiao, shall I take you out for a walk? It’s better than being cooped up at home."

Luo Qiao didn’t want to move, her mind heavy. She leaned against Lu Yichen, "I don’t feel like moving. Let’s just stay at home."

The children who came back for the funeral stood outside the door. They knew that the Master and Mistress meant a lot to their mother, but they didn’t know how to console her.

The suddenness of it all left them deeply saddened too, but seeing their mother like this made them worried.

Luo Qiao glanced outside the door and told Lu Yichen, "Let them go back and continue their training. I want some peace and quiet."

Lu Yichen settled her into bed before going out to tell the children, "Don’t worry, your mom will be fine in a few days. Go back to your training. I’ll take good care of your mom."

The children understood that staying might not help, so they packed up and left.

Meanwhile, the Yang family, back at home, was discussing whether to sell the house or not when a group of people arrived, including several old neighbors.

Upon learning that the house had been donated unconditionally by the couple, they couldn’t believe it and began cursing loudly.

They pushed the visitors away, refusing to accept that their parents would do such a thing.
