Chapter 277 Lucky Star 12 (Bonus Chapter 2 for Donations)

Nie Jiu: "The old man said it's not necessary, and that we can just go directly there. I'll be going now, and we'll make an appointment later."

Zheng Wenjun and the others waved their hands, signaling him to leave quickly.

After the two left, Lian Zhize said, "Old Tang, I was too embarrassed to ask when my sister-in-law was here, but how did Brother Jiu and your sister-in-law meet?"

Tang Jiayou glanced at the other person and said, "Your sister-in-law is an orphan with no family background. I know you are worried that Grandpa Nie will not agree to the two of you. Don't worry, he will agree."

Of course, it's okay if you disagree; Brother Jiu definitely won't separate from his sister-in-law.

Even if they break up, with your looks and qualifications, are you worried about not finding a boyfriend?

Honestly, if word got out about his sister-in-law's amazing abilities, he'd be sure this guy would dare to snatch her right away!

Of course, this is on the premise that Nie Jiu and his sister-in-law broke up.

Even after being brothers for so many years, there are still some bottom lines.

The Lian family is in the jewelry business and goes to the public auction to gamble on stones every year. With my sister-in-law's good fortune, if you ask her opinion when buying the top lot, and she says no, then she definitely won't lose money.

But if she says she wants to buy it, won't the money just come pouring in?

In a top-tier private hospital in Province A.

The old man had sent all the Nie family's descendants away. When Nie Jiu brought Ning Yan, there were only the old man and the caregiver in the ward.

"Grandpa, we're here."

The caregiver was quick-witted; as soon as the two entered, he automatically withdrew and went to stare at the bodyguards outside the door.

Grandpa Nie is over eighty years old this year. His hair is completely white, and he is quite thin, sickly thin. Ning Yan heard on the way here that the old man's health condition is very bad and he has at most six months left.

The old man's gaze was fixed on Ning Yan, who was standing next to his grandson. He beckoned to the two of them, "Come here, sit down, sit down."

Nie Jiu moved a stool for Ning Yan and gestured for her to sit down, while he stood behind her.

The old man asked Ning Yan, "How old is she? She looks a little young. My grandson, old man, old cow eating young grass."

Ning Yan burst out laughing. "He's not old, he's only five years older than me, at most he's a strong ox."

The old man smiled then, "As long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters. He was the one I was most worried about."

If I die, he will have no one to care for him, no one to love him.

Now that's alright, with someone by his side, I can leave in peace.

Nie Jiu grasped the old man's hand that was resting on the quilt. "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. You have a long life ahead of you."

"Hey, living too long is meaningless. I miss your grandma."

Everyone thought he only cared about profit and would disinherit his sons if they didn't comply with his wishes.

Actually, that's not the case.

The eldest son's wife looked calculating and scheming. His wife was afraid that he would be deceived, so she told him that if he insisted on marrying such a scheming woman, he should give up his inheritance rights.

The boss agreed.

The eldest daughter-in-law thought the family was just saying that, after all, the eldest son was more business-minded than the second son, and the old man would not give up on his eldest son.

In the blink of an eye, the old man gave his second son a branch company to practice on, and the woman's true colors were revealed. She swindled all of the eldest son's cash and jewelry and ran away.

The eldest brother was so disheartened that he almost became a monk. Inheriting the company? He'd be lucky to survive.

When it came to the second son, the old man also put in a lot of effort, but he was too much of a womanizer.

The couple hit and scolded each other, but the second son just wouldn't change, so they gave up.

The shares that were originally intended for the second son were instead given to the only grandson.

As for his grandchildren—he wouldn't even give his own daughter, so how could he possibly give them to them?

Once a woman is married, she belongs to another family; the amount of support he can give her is limited.

Giving them so many fixed assets is enough to repay them.

As for the two children born to that mistress, they have parents, and it's not his responsibility.

"Wait a minute, I've called a lawyer over. While Grandpa's mind is still clear, I'll give you what's due first."

"So that when I die, those unfilial descendants won't argue with you about dividing the inheritance."

Looking at his grandfather who had loved him for over twenty years, Nie Jiu felt an indescribable sadness. If he could, he would rather give up everything and just want his grandfather to be healthy and live a good life!

However, human strength has its limits!

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable; no one can stop them, and no one can change them.

The lawyer arrived quickly.

The old man started signing various contracts, Nie Jiu signed the documents, and even Ning Yan signed them.

Grandpa Nie instructed the three lawyers, "Take care of these matters as soon as possible, otherwise I will withdraw my investment in your law firm. Also, I don't have many days left to live, and I don't want to be bothered by my unfilial descendants in my remaining time. You understand what I mean, right?"

Three lawyers: They know too well, it's just about keeping it a secret, right?

There are still more than three hours until they get off work, so they need to hurry up and get to work.

The old man invests a huge sum of money in their law firm every year; he's their bread and butter, so they have to take good care of him.

After the three left, the old man smiled and said to Ning Yan, "Those are the betrothal gifts that Grandpa gave you on behalf of this boy. Promise Grandpa that you and Xiao Jiu will live a good life together, have two lovely babies, and live happily ever after as a family."

Ning Yan: "Then you need to focus on getting better. After the baby is born, you'll have to help us take care of the child."

"I'm an orphan, and I'm really bad at raising children. You, on the other hand, have raised Nie Jiu to be so outstanding. If the children are in your care, they'll definitely be just as excellent as their father."

The old man's already wrinkled face deepened even more as she coaxed him. "Alright, Grandpa will take good care of himself. You two, go get your marriage certificate. Grandpa wants to see you have your wedding and have your baby."

After saying that, he glanced at Nie Jiu and said, "Don't be like your father, or Grandpa will be very disappointed in you!"

Nie Jiu: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will never do anything to betray Yan Yan. I will follow your lead."

The old man had only one wife his whole life. The two had their share of joys and sorrows, and like any other couple, they would fight, get angry, and have cold wars. But after the fights and arguments, they would go on as usual.

It's a pity that his wife passed away early, leaving him alone and feeling listless, which caused his health to deteriorate.

Ning Yan thought this relationship would last a long time. After all, Nie Jiu was only twenty-seven and she was only twenty-two. They could have a few years of fun before getting married. Who would have thought that they would confess their feelings in the morning, meet their brothers at noon, and get their marriage certificate in the afternoon?

The old man gave her 10% of the shares in the hospital, including six properties: two residences, four shops, two cars, and a number of jewelry items. If she disagreed, it would seem like she was doing something wrong.

So, the two of them actually got their marriage certificate.

Nie Jiu took a picture of her marriage certificate and sent it to the old man.

The old man smiled happily upon receiving the message and quickly replied to his grandson, "You don't need to come see Grandpa recently. Work hard, okay? Grandpa wants to hold his great-grandson."
