Gu Youran smiled and nodded, and suddenly saw the small words "Youran Exclusive" engraved on the key.

Shi Zhengyang added, "These two shops do not participate in the family's dividends. The profits and losses are all yours."

Gu Youran said gratefully, "Thank you, Dad. I will manage it well."

Two shops, worth hundreds of millions, were given to her so casually.

Shi Heng's attitude clearly told everyone that she was the actual controller of these industries.

Over at the second house, several youngsters couldn't help but whisper to each other, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

The third cup of tea, dedicated to Tao Nianwan.

"Mom..." As soon as Shi Heng opened his mouth, Tao Nianwan's eyes turned red.

She took the tea offered by her son, took a sip, but held the teacup in her palm for a long time, her eyes carefully tracing Shi Heng's eyebrows.

Gu Youran raised the teacup, "Mom, please have some tea."

Tao Nianwan finally woke up from his dream, hurriedly took the teacup and took a sip.

Then she tied a red string around Gu Youran's wrist. "This is... When Ah Heng was one month old, I made this using fetal hair and silk."

Shi Heng was shocked, "Mom! Shouldn't this be given to me?"

"What do you know?"

Tao Nianwan wiped away tears and said, "Give the most precious things to the people you trust the most, this is the inheritance."

Gu Youran stroked the red rope and suddenly remembered that snowy night in the Yuncheng Orphanage.

The four-year-old girl curled up in the corner and heard the old dean sigh, "Children without roots are like kites without wires."

And now, a red rope was tied tightly around her wrist.

After the tea ceremony, everyone moved to the banquet hall to rest.

Gu Youran had just taken the prepared gift bag from the bedroom when she heard Shi Zhengfeng's deliberately raised voice.

"Ah Heng, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!"

He changed the subject and looked at Gu Youran with pretended concern, his eyes full of calculation.

"But...niece, I heard you're an orphan? Oh, you must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"

The laughter and chatter in the banquet hall came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's attention was focused on him.

Shi Zhengfeng continued, "When a girl gets married, her family's dowry is a symbol of respect. I'm afraid you can't prepare anything decent by yourself."

He sighed pretentiously, "Second Uncle didn't mean anything else. He was just worried that if outsiders knew about it, they would say that the daughter-in-law of our eldest son's family was too... well, a little shabby."

These words appear to be expressions of concern, but are actually humiliation!

The air froze instantly.

Shi Heng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. When he was about to stand up, Gu Youran gently pressed the back of his hand and gave him a soothing look.

She took out an exquisite wooden box from the gift bag and walked towards the old lady.

"Grandma, this is a gift I specially prepared for you."

She slowly opened the wooden box, revealing five celadon bottles and a gold-embossed card neatly arranged inside.

"This is Kangrui Hospital's lifetime VIP health card. I'm a specially appointed specialist there. I'll be personally responsible for your health care in the future."

The old lady's eyes lit up.

She already knew that her granddaughter-in-law was an excellent doctor and a leader among the younger generation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It was a rare gift to receive her exclusive medical services.

Shi Heng immediately added, "Grandma, those small bottles contain the rejuvenation pills developed by Youran. They're now selling for 1.2 million per bottle on the black market, and they're often out of stock."

There was a burst of gasps in the banquet hall.

The old lady took out a dark red pill in surprise and swallowed it under the gaze of everyone.

But after a moment, a look of comfort appeared on her face. "It's amazing! I feel a warm current spreading from my stomach to my limbs, and I feel a lot more relaxed!"

Shi Zhengfeng's face suddenly turned ugly.

He didn't expect that this seemingly helpless orphan girl could come up with such a precious gift.

Gu Youran took out an exquisite rosewood box from the gift bag and walked towards Shi Zhengyang.

"Dad, I heard that when you were young and studying at Huaqing Architecture College, the person you admired most was the architectural master Mr. Shen Mobai?"

The wooden box was opened, and a set of yellowed design drawings lay quietly inside. The top one was signed "Shen Mobai 1948" in the lower right corner.

The drawing shows a library design that blends Chinese and Western styles, with smooth and elegant lines.

"This is Master Shen's original design manuscript for the Wenyuan Pavilion," Gu Youran explained, "including the complete plan he drew for rebuilding the Jiangnan Library."

Shi Zhengyang's hands trembled slightly. As a former top student in the Department of Architecture, he recognized the unique design strokes of the bracket sets at a glance.

"This... this is the original..."

His voice trembled with a rare tremor. "The academic community has always believed that these manuscripts have been..."

Gu Youran smiled gently. "When I was studying abroad, I cured a collector of a chronic illness. These are precious materials his grandfather brought back from Jiangnan."

Shi Zhengyang suddenly found a line of small words on the edge of the manuscript: "Build it as a history and pass it on to future generations."

His eyes instantly became moist as he recalled the regret he felt when he gave up his dream of architecture.

"You Ran," he wiped his eyes, "this gift... is too precious."

Shi Zhengfeng's face turned pale. This gift was not only priceless, but also touched the softest part of his elder brother's heart.

Shi Heng added, "Dad, Youbao has also contacted Huaqing School of Architecture. These manuscripts will be donated to the Architecture Museum of your alma mater in your name."

Shi Zhengyang took a deep breath and solemnly closed the wooden box. "This is the most meaningful gift I have ever received."

Gu Youran took out a folder from the gift bag and walked in front of Tao Nianwan.
