Chapter 985 My Heart is Cold (1/2)

Zhou Changshun, with his neck stiff, tried his best to defend himself, "You fell, and it happened to be during the New Year. We all thought it was nothing serious and would go to the hospital after the family reunion dinner. You yourself said at the time that you were fine. When Xiaoyu's adoptive father came, you said that we wouldn't take you to the hospital. Even though I am your stepson, I have taken care of you for so many years. How could I not take you to the hospital?"

Old Guan rubbed his eyes. "Yes, why didn't they take me to the hospital? The police even found traces of cooking oil where I fell. Sigh, I don't want to think about many things. I just want to live a peaceful life. It's too difficult. If it weren't for this relocation, I could have lived a peaceful life until I die."

"Dad, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting us of harming you? You can't just make things up without any evidence. We've served you for so many years, and everyone in the neighborhood has seen it. Everyone says I'm better than your own son. Even your own father isn't this good. Dad, you can't break my heart like this!" Zhou Changshun looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Old Man Guan shrugged. "Yeah, I want to ask you why too. Before, you'd rush to the hospital the moment you coughed, but now that you've broken your leg, you're telling me to stay home and not even let me see anyone. Why? Every time we meet, you keep bringing up the relocation housing. I don't want to overthink it, but your intentions are too clear. I'm not stupid!"

Zhou Changshun's tears fell. "Dad, I don't want to talk about it, but the hospital expenses are too high. Money is needed everywhere. I have no choice."

"Changshun, even if my house is demolished immediately, will I get the money right away? Will there be enough time to treat your mother's illness? Forget it, we were father and son, and it's my fault for being so incompetent. At this age, I'm still relying on my granddaughter to support me. If I had money, I wouldn't stand by and watch my family turn against each other."

"You are my closest and dearest family in my heart! If I had you, I wouldn't need you to say anything, Changshun. I can't watch my wife suffer like this." Old Guan pounded his chest, his cloudy old eyes filled with tears, making him look pitiful to everyone who saw him.

Zhou Changshun knelt down before Old Man Guan with a thud. "Dad, I'm sorry. It's all because I'm incompetent. I can't afford such high fees, so I was thinking about your house. I'm sorry, but Dad, Mom has been with you for so many years, so she should have a share in the house too. For the sake of your marriage, let's do a notarized agreement as we agreed that day. I'll have to take care of Mom from now on, so I won't be able to take care of you anymore. I'm sorry."

Old Man Guan was stunned for a moment, glancing at Xiaoyu. What was going on? What trick was he up to now? Could he be that stupid? It'd been several days, and he still hadn't realized Xiaoyu was lying to him?

Xiaoyu was also baffled. Zhou Changshun wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite shrewd. What was going on?

The host coughed lightly. "Sir, does the verbal agreement to divide the property equally still stand?"

Old Guan nodded. Of course it counts; he couldn't be happier it to count.

"Do you have anything to add?" the host asked, giving him a knowing wink.

Old Man Guan: "You all go and prepare first, let me think about it."

Zhou Changshun thought that Old Man Guan was going to back out. "Dad, you agreed to it in front of the whole country. You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

Old Guan...using the entire nation to pressure him? If it's something that will cause him to suffer, even threatening his ancestral graves won't help.

"I keep my word. A real man doesn't go back on his word. I'm just thinking, is there anything else I can add?"

The host said to Zhou Changshun, "Brother Zhou, you go and prepare first. The old man has agreed, and he definitely won't go back on his word. I'm the witness, and I'll vouch for you."

Zhou Changshun nodded, feeling a little relieved. "What do we need to prepare?"

Host: "You go and borrow a meeting room from the hospital first. I'll contact a lawyer here, and after the agreement is written, we'll go to get it notarized."

"Okay," Zhou Changshun agreed and immediately went to prepare. The host asked the cameraman to follow Zhou Changshun.

Only Old Man Guan, Xiaoyu, and the host remained in the room.

Old Man Guan looked at the host with suspicion. With Su Mo's connection, the host should be on their side now.

"Sir, Zhou Changshun called the neighborhood committee, and they confirmed that your name is on the relocation list," the host said with a smile.
