Uncle Guan

At this moment, Ye Mo had no idea that auctioning a painting would attract so much attention.

She was currently shopping in a mall. There were numerous malls across the interstellar network, and whenever Ye Mo found something she liked, she would immediately place an order. She spent a million and directly purchased a housekeeper robot.

Ye Mo didn’t want her grandmother to be burdened with chores anymore. Having a housekeeper robot at home would save them both a lot of trouble.

However, as Ye Mo thought about how poor their family was, she considered taking her grandmother to the wealthy district to release the housekeeper robot there.

Ye Mo entered the Interstellar Bank and went straight to the safe deposit area. After quickly entering the password, she retrieved the items her mother had stored there.

In addition to the property deed and keys, there was a box and a letter.

The letter had been left by Ye Mo’s mother, explaining why she had done things this way. Ye Mo’s mother knew that it would be difficult for Ye Mo to assert herself. If she had given Ye Mo these things before Ye Mo had learned to stand up for herself, it would have harmed her because once the original owner passed away, these belongings would naturally fall into the hands of Ye Mo’s father.

Ye Mo’s mother had expressed that she loved the original owner very much and only wanted the best for her. If Ye Mo had never learned to stand up for herself, these possessions would have eventually been handed over to the country after the original owner’s death.

When Ye Mo opened the box, she found it filled with jewelry. Even in the interstellar world, these items were still of significant value.

There was also a password book inside, with five different passwords written in it. According to Ye Mo’s mother, these were the codes for the safe in their house.

Ye Mo felt a wave of tension. She had a sense that her mother’s background might have been more powerful than she had realized—otherwise, she wouldn’t have left so many valuables behind for the original owner.

Afterward, Ye Mo spent five hundred thousand buying two of the latest wristwatch models online. Both her and her grandmother’s watches were worn out and needed replacement.

Ye Mo immediately put on one of the new watches and changed into a fresh outfit. Now, she felt much more at ease—this was how things were supposed to be!

Later that evening, Ye Mo’s grandmother came back, looking disheveled and beaten. Alarmed, Ye Mo rushed to support her. “Grandma, what happened?”

Ye Mo’s grandmother’s eyes reddened. “Momo, your father is a monster!”

Apparently, her grandmother had gone out to transfer ownership of their house, but Yu Feng Qi had been waiting for her, and when he couldn’t get his hands on the house, he attacked her grandmother.

Ye Mo’s heart sank. “Grandma, let’s sell the house and move tonight. My mom left me another house, so we won’t be homeless.”

Her grandmother looked at her, astonished. “Your mother?”

“Yes, Grandma,” Ye Mo explained earnestly. “After I started using my mother’s name, these things came into my possession. She left them for me. Let’s sell this place and move, but we’ll only tell Aunt where we’re going.”

Ye Mo was truly concerned that her father might stay hidden nearby and continue causing trouble, especially since her grandmother might be at a disadvantage if they crossed paths again.

“But…” Ye Mo’s grandmother hesitated.

“Grandma, he’s angry and will definitely stir up trouble. You’re getting older, and I’m pregnant. We won’t be able to handle it if something happens to either of us!” Ye Mo continued to persuade her.

Her grandmother’s main concern was that, while she herself could endure a beating, her pregnant granddaughter could not. If her granddaughter were harmed, it would be a major issue. Regardless of the outcome, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to either her granddaughter or even her son, despicable as he was.

Since it was already late, her grandmother didn’t leave the house again. When Ye Mo handed her one of the new wristwatches, her grandmother’s eyes widened. “These kinds of wristwatches are expensive. Why did you buy one so impulsively?”

“Grandma, Mom left me some money. Don’t worry, there’s more than enough for us,” Ye Mo said with a smile, but she chose not to mention her earnings from selling the paintings.

Even if she spent all 60 million, she could just sell another painting at auction.

Grandma sighed. “Your mother was something else. She was seriously ill, yet still managed to prepare so much.”

Ye Mo smiled and urged, “Grandma, try it on. This watch is really something.”

“Alright, I’ll use it right away!” Grandma put on the wristwatch and immediately began to use it. Even she appreciated advanced technology. Moreover, the watch’s simple storage function, though not vast, was more than sufficient for Grandma’s needs.

That night, Grandma listed their house for sale on a real estate platform. Coincidentally, a nearby family was looking for a home for their son’s upcoming wedding. While they couldn’t afford the expensive properties, they could manage a commoner’s house like theirs.

Grandma ended up selling the house for 6,000 star coins—a sizable sum for her.

As soon as the transaction was finalized, Ye Mo and her grandmother left at 4 a.m. Ye Mo had just bought an aircraft and piloted it out of the area. Grandma was a bit nervous at first, but seeing how steadily her granddaughter flew the craft, she began to relax. The aircraft had two seats, and Ye Mo began teaching Grandma how to fly.

In the commoner district, most families didn’t own aircraft. However, among the middle class, nearly every household had at least one. The wealthy, on the other hand, often owned multiple aircraft, ranging from modest models to ones worth billions.

The one Ye Mo purchased was relatively inexpensive, costing only three million. She had also bought a second one for her grandmother, so teaching her to fly became a priority.

The reason Ye Mo already knew how to pilot an aircraft was thanks to the original host, who had taken flying lessons during her first year of school.

The original host had been fascinated by aircraft and studied the subject diligently, which now made things easier for Ye Mo.

After flying for nearly an hour, they finally reached the wealthy district. When they landed in front of a villa, Grandma was in shock. “Momo! Momo! Is this really the wealthy district?”

“Yes, Grandma, this will be our home from now on.” After helping Grandma out of the aircraft, Ye Mo went through facial recognition at the gate, which opened slowly. Grandma couldn’t believe her eyes.

Once they entered the yard, Grandma was captivated by the garden’s grandeur. “Momo, am I dreaming?”

“No, Grandma, this is our home now.” Ye Mo released the housekeeper robot. At that moment, she heard a voice.

“Welcome back, young mistress!” The voice sounded oddly familiar. When Ye Mo turned and saw the speaker, a butler robot, she was stunned. This robot had appeared before the original host many times. He had been one of the few to treat her kindly, and despite being a robot, he had left a strong impression on the original host.

“Uncle Guan!” Ye Mo remembered the name the original host had used to call the butler robot.

“Young mistress, I’ve been waiting for such a long, long time!” If he had a handkerchief, this butler robot might have wiped away a tear.

If not for the owner’s instructions to remain hidden, he would have brought the young mistress back ages ago. However, the owner’s orders were clear—he was to wait for her.
