Chapter 960: She Refused to Move

In the castle.
There were many bags laid out in the living room and these totaled over ten bags.
The maids were bustling around the house packing up and they had already been packing for several hours. The security and three chefs were slowly moving these bags to the cars. These bags contained their clothes, shoes, and daily necessities. The bags in the living room were all of Madam Ye’s belongings.
XIa Jingshu sat in her wheelchair and she couldn’t stop sighing as she watched the mads bustling around. She heaved several loud sighs.
She couldn’t believe that she would have to leave the house that her husband had personally bought and designed for her.
Although she wasn’t used to living in the castle, she couldn’t help but feel upset at the thought of being forced to leave in such a manner.
This upset her but it wouldn’t be good for her to insist on staying when her son wanted to move.
Han Xue shouted at Qin Xiaoyu and Menglin upstairs like a madwoman.
“I forbid you from touching my stuff,” she said loudly.
Qin Xiaoyu looked at Han Xue in annoyance and said, “Madam, Sir already said that we have to move today and everyone with the exception of Xi Xi will have to move to the mansion located at the southern part of the city. Are you going to pack your own belongings if you refuse to let us touch your belongings?”
Qin Xiaoyu felt that Han Xue was being unreasonable. The house belonged to Xi Xi and not Mr. Ye, so how could she insist on not leaving?
Han Xue was livid and she pointed angrily at the doorway as she said, “Get out of here.”
Qin Xiaoyu and Menglin exchanged a glance to express their exasperation with Han Xue. They couldn’t deal with her temperamental antics.
They could only leave her room and head downstairs to notify Xia Jingshu.
Xia Jingshu couldn’t help but sigh when she heard how Han Xue was behaving.
She asked Qin Xiaoyu to bring her upstairs to Han Xue’s room.
“Han Xue…” Xia Jingshu said solemnly, “I know how upset you must be feeling but it can’t be helped. Ah Hao gave this castle to He Xiyan to compensate her when they got divorced and He Xiyan gave it to Xi Xi. Thus, this castle belongs to Xi Xi. Xi Xi doesn’t want us to live her and insists on living with her mother, so we can’t do anything about it either. Cheer up, it’s just a house. It wouldn’t make much of a difference even if we move elsewhere.”
Xia Jingshu tried to cheer Han Xue up but her words only riled her further.
Han Xue bit her lips and her face was flushed red.
“Mom, does this make sense to you? We don’t even have a place to live in the moment He Xiyan came back. Moreover, we hold custody of Xi Xi, so naturally, this castle belongs to the Ye family. Why should we move out?” she demanded.
Han Xue felt extremely irritated each time she thought about having to move out of the castle. This grand castle was the only one of its kind across the entire country and the country has since banned the construction of castles of such a scale. She had yearned to live in this castle for the longest time and now that she had been living here for such a long time, she felt as though it was akin to drawing blood.
Xia Jingshu shook her head helplessly.
“You’re right but we can’t do anything about it. Ah Hao wants us to move out, so even if you refuse to move out, Xi Xi will chase you out of the castle at a later date. Stop fussing and start packing,” she said.
She didn’t know how to persuade her daughter-in-law.
Everything happened so quickly and unpredictably, including the fact that He Xiyan had suddenly returned from the dead. She was still unable to wrap her head around it.
She was getting on in age so she didn’t want to argue with her son, especially over such a minor issue as where they’d be staying.
It didn’t matter whether she lived in a castle, a mansion, or an average residential unit. She was already so old that this didn’t matter to her anymore.
