The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Strange

Yiyi carefully looked at the seat and couldn’t help but ask, ”Grandpa, where exactly is this place?”

”It’s on the outskirts of Yuan City, not far from Shangjing, about a two-hour drive.”

”Yuan City?”

Yiyi murmured, realizing Medicine Valley was in Yuan City. She had been trapped there, calling heaven and earth for help but in vain, until Gu Tingyu rescued her, allowing her to escape, though by then it was too late.

Thinking of this, Yiyi’s eyes showed determination; this time she must prevent Medicine Valley from continuing its harm.

”Grandpa, I want to go there tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ding immediately objected, ”No, you can’t go. That place is rather strange, and I’m afraid you’ll be in danger.” Mr. Ding had researched and found that Medicine Valley did exist; the place was actually called Medicine Valley, and it was somewhat feared.

”What’s strange about it?”

Although she had long known Medicine Valley wasn’t simple, Yiyi was still curious about what Mr. Ding had discovered.

Mr. Ding shook his head and said, ”I need further investigation to know the specifics, but you can’t go there. Rest assured, I’ll handle this matter properly, so you don’t have to worry.”

Seeing Yiyi remain silent, Mr. Ding continued, ”You’re not alone now; think of your mother, then of me, and also Gu Tingyu and the others. If something happens to you, we would all be so worried.”

Upon hearing Mr. Ding’s words, Yiyi finally said, ”Okay, I understand. I won’t go recklessly.”

Mr. Ding was relieved upon hearing this.

But then Yiyi thought of Leng Yu and couldn’t help but ask, ”Grandpa, where is Leng Yu now?”

”The Leng Yu you’re talking about, I checked well, and she’s currently in Medicine Valley.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi frowned slightly and said, ”She’s been staying in Medicine Valley and hasn’t come out?”

”Recently, she’s been in Medicine Valley. I only found that she’s busy with medicine production there; there’s no other news.”

While they were chatting, Ding Yuejun came over, ”What are you talking about here? Dinner is ready, but I don’t see you coming.”

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Yiyi quickly said, ”Mom, we’re coming to eat now.”

Once Mr. Ding and Yiyi reached the dining room, Ding Yuejun had already set the table, ”Alright, let’s hurry and sit down to eat.” But she hadn’t forgotten the previous question, ”What were you discussing earlier? You were avoiding me in your conversation.”

Mr. Ding said with a smile, ”Nothing much, I was just talking to Yiyi about some family matters. I plan to let Yiyi take over part of the family’s affairs in the future.”

Upon hearing Mr. Ding’s words, Ding Yuejun did not ask further, she really had no interest in matters of the Ding Family.

But soon she reacted, saying worriedly, ”Dad, don’t let Yiyi meddle in the family matters. Others will definitely have opinions.”

Although Yiyi’s surname is now Ding, she’s ultimately just Mr. Ding’s granddaughter. She’s worried that people in the Ding Family, especially Ding Yating’s family, will have opinions.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ding said sternly, ”I still have authority over matters in the Ding Family; it’s not up to others to comment. Besides, what’s wrong with letting Yiyi take over? She’s my own granddaughter. Even if I entrust her with the entire Ding Family, no one can say anything.”

”Dad...”

Ding Yuejun felt a bit helpless seeing Mr. Ding’s determination.

”It’s fine, I’m clear about the family’s affairs, so don’t overthink. Let’s hurry and eat.”

Seeing Mr. Ding reluctant to say more, Ding Yuejun shook her head and said no more.

Yiyi sat quietly on the side without speaking. After all, she knew Mr. Ding was just casually saying things, so she felt very calm.

But by the next day, Yiyi couldn’t stay calm anymore.

It turned out Mr. Ding was serious about having her take on some of the Ding Family’s affairs.

Looking at the account books in front of her, Yiyi couldn’t help but frown and said, ”Grandpa, actually mom was right; I shouldn’t take over the Ding Family affairs. If little aunt’s family finds out, they might come to argue with you.”

”What could they argue about? Yating has already married out; she’s part of the Shu Family. Do they still want to meddle in the Ding Family’s matters?”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi chuckled.

Seeing Yiyi’s expression, Mr. Ding understood her concerns, ”I know what you and your mother are worried about. Now, you are part of the Ding Family, unlike Shu Yunfang.”

Upon hearing Mr. Ding’s words, Yiyi smiled and said no more, but felt somewhat touched that Mr. Ding had long considered her and her mother true members of the Ding Family.

Seeing Yiyi didn’t continue to protest, Mr. Ding smiled with satisfaction and then said, ”Take these account books back and study them well. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Yiyi took the account books without saying more, just nodded, and then looked at Mr. Ding and said, ”Now I’ll head to meet my master.”

”Alright, off you go.”

Mr. Ding now knew about Yiyi’s daily martial arts training with Guo Ming. Initially, he worried his granddaughter might find it too demanding, but seeing her persistence, he said nothing, as her striving for self-improvement was something he couldn’t oppose.

Upon reaching Guo Ming, the two started their sparring as usual.

After a round, Guo Ming nodded and said, ”Not bad, not bad. Just in these two days, your agility has improved. You mustn’t slack off; practice it daily.”

”Yes, I will.”

Yiyi responded seriously.

Since Medicine Valley reemerged, she felt a stronger urge to improve her skills.

”Master, shall we practice a bit more?”

Guo Ming disagreed and said, ”Too much haste would spoil the result; everything should be balanced, so let’s continue tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded and said, ”Master, I was too hasty.”

Guo Ming frowned, looking at his young disciple and asked, ”I noticed your emotions seem off these past two days. Has something happened?”

Yiyi hurriedly shook her head, ”Nothing, I just realized my skills are declining, so I’m secretly anxious.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, there’s no regression, so you don’t need to fret.”

Guo Ming showed no change in expression, but after Yiyi left, he arranged for Pei Jin to investigate her recent activities.

After leaving Shichahai, Yiyi originally planned to head straight home, but unexpectedly Fang Cheng found her.

”Let’s find a place to talk.”

Yiyi agreed and went to a tea room with Fang Cheng.
