This golden seal appeared to be just as valuable as those other treasures.
However, he felt a sense of hesitation and did not dare to accept it readily.
“Take it,” Wei Tian said, pulling Gu Yu’s backpack toward him and tucking the box containing the seal inside to hide it from view. “Don’t let them catch a glimpse of it. If you handed it over to them, they would only sell it for a fraction of its worth.
Keep it as a personal memento. Your grandfather treated your mother unfairly in the past, yet she helped us without harbor any resentment.
In truth, your grandfather is aware that the money from the house sale could never truly cover the cost; it was you who provided the remaining balance.
I truly have nothing else to offer you except this. Let it serve as a keepsake.”
“But what about them…”
Gu Yu pressed further, asking about the family waiting outside.
“Do I not know exactly what they are after?”
Wei Tian was well aware; they shamelessly desired the house. They had been desperate to buy property for years, but their wages never kept pace with rising market prices. Even after fifteen years, a home remained out of their reach.
They had arrived this time with the brazen intention of moving in, despite there being only two bedrooms. One was for him and his wife, and the other had been intended for his grandson; he had no desire to let Wei Jiani occupy it.
If they managed to settle in, it would be nearly impossible to get them to leave. Evicting them in the future would be an uphill battle.
Furthermore, Wei Jiani wouldn’t be coming alone; she had an entire entourage. Not only was she bringing Zhang Yong’an, but it seemed even the Zhang family parents intended to move in as well.
People are driven by pragmatism; previously, they acted like total strangers, but now they were calling each other "in-laws" with sickening sweetness.
An outsider might assume they shared a close bond, when the reality was they had barely interacted for generations.
“Xiaoyu, could you help your grandfather review this?”
Wei Tian produced another document and passed it to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu took the paper and scanned it, his eyes widening. This was…
He knit his brows together, “Grandfather, what is the meaning of this?” He wasn't so old that he needed to be drafting a will already.
“I know your uncle is a lawyer; could you ask him to look this over for me?”
Wei Tian offered a smile, but to Gu Yu, that expression felt strangely unsettling.
“Your grandmother and I have managed to save six hundred thousand over the years.
When we pass away, take back this house and give that money to them. Regardless of their flaws, they are our own blood; we cannot simply abandon them.”
“Why not just leave the house to her?”
Gu Yu asked indifferently; if they wanted to give it away, so be it. His family certainly didn't lack for real estate.
His grandfather was a developer who had houses in abundance. Moreover, Gu Yu felt no strong connection to these properties, having grown up in the spacious Tang Garden.
It was comfortable there; they never had to live in cramped quarters. The idea of living squeezed together, sharing elevators with strangers, seemed incredibly unappealing to him.
Ultimately, the house had been purchased for Wei Tian and Sang Zhilan, so the decision of how to dispose of it rested entirely with them.
“There is no need,” Wei Tian sighed. “Sometimes, wealth is more terrifying than a tiger.
This property is worth several million at least. If it were handed to her, who knows what trouble she would cause? With great wealth comes great responsibility.
If people are given too much, their hearts tend to rot.
The money is enough; it is sufficient for her to live out the rest of her days without making her so arrogant that she ends up hurting others.”
He understood his daughter's nature; this arrangement was for her own good.
Besides, the house didn't truly belong to them in the first place.
Gu Yu tucked the will away, intending to have his uncle examine it later.
This was Wei Tian’s choice. If he changed his mind later, the document could be voided. If Wei Jiani showed genuine signs of reform, the plans could also be altered.
Leaving the Wei residence, Gu Yu felt that Wei Jiani’s arrival had at least shown how authoritative his grandparents had become. With just a single command, everyone behaved as obediently as a grandson.
It wasn't surprising. The house and the money belonged to them, allowing them to stand tall and proud.
As long as they maintained that stance, looking after Wei Jiani was acceptable. It was probably better to have some younger people in the house anyway; otherwise, if an emergency occurred, no one would be there to help.
Gu Yu rode his bicycle to find his uncle, though he made sure to inform his mother first.
When Tang Yuxin heard the news, she didn't offer much comment, leaving the responsibility to Gu Yu.
Regarding the decision to treat Sang Zhilan as a grandmother, she raised no objections. Gu Yu was nearly an adult and growing fast; he was old enough to be accountable for his own choices.
She had once wondered if she would help if an elderly Sang Zhilan ever came seeking her aid. Her answer had been yes.
Now that she didn't have to manage it personally, letting Gu Yu take charge amounted to the same thing.
She retrieved a bottle filled with tiny, round pills.
They were small and looked quite delicate. Upon opening the container, a subtle scent of green tea wafted out.
The medicine was crafted from various herbs and had such a mild flavor that it could easily be mistaken for simple grains if one wasn't paying attention.
“Is the medicine finished?” Gu Ning asked as he entered the room.
Fifteen years had passed, yet he remained largely the same; time had merely granted him a more mature, steady aura and a gaze filled with deep experience.
In other aspects, he had hardly changed at all.
“Yes, it’s ready,” Tang Yuxin said, passing the bottle to Gu Ning.
He took it, popped a pill into his mouth, and swallowed it down.
“I’ll perform a check-up on you in a moment.”
Tang Yuxin remained protective of Gu Ning’s health.
From the very beginning, she had been anxious about his kidneys, meticulously monitoring his diet as a result.
A few years back, some tests had indicated potential issues, which had frightened her immensely.
She had exhausted every resource until she finally perfected this medicinal formula.
He had been taking it consistently, and the results were promising—the most recent evaluations had been very positive.
One more check now, and if the results were clear, she could finally stop worrying.
Once the examination was finished and the data came back, Tang Yuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was healthy; his kidneys were perfectly fine.
“Are you satisfied now?”
Gu Ning reached out and patted Tang Yuxin’s head.
Whenever he looked at her closely, he felt a sense of wonder. Despite the passing years, she seemed untouched by time. At forty, she still possessed the appearance of a woman in her twenties.
Meanwhile, he had transitioned into middle age. Fortunately, his wife had never once uttered a word of complaint about him.
“Yes, I’m satisfied,” Tang Yuxin said, filing away the reports.
She felt truly at peace this time, though she knew they had to remain cautious in the future.
“What would you have done if my kidneys really had failed?”
Gu Ning asked, voicing the question that had been on Tang Yuxin’s mind.
“What else could I do?” Tang Yuxin answered, having long since prepared herself for such a scenario.
She had considered this since the day they met.
“If your kidneys had failed, I would have given you one of mine. I’ve already checked; we are a perfect match.”
“In your previous life, you used my kidney, and in this life, it is the same.”
“You can only use mine; no one else’s would be right.”
Gu Ning chuckled softly, his fingers brushing through her hair.
It seemed he truly believed his kidneys from a past life belonged to Tang Yuxin, which was why he had found her in this life, and why they were destined to remain together forever.
Indeed, not just for this lifetime, but for the next as well.
Where there is a past life, there must be a future one.
In the next life, I will seek you out again.
Even if we don't know where we are, I believe that in the vast sea of humanity, the moment I first lay eyes on you, I will know—you are the one I have been searching for.
