After washing their faces, both of them regained their composure.

"Then it's a deal. You will come back to Beijing in two years. Dad will find you a leisurely job then. It doesn't matter if the salary is low. Dad has money and I will support you in the future." With his heart knot untied, Jian Yucheng discussed future matters with Jian Shu.

After saying that, he stood up again and said, "Wait here first, Dad has something for you." Then he walked out.

Jianshu was about to speak when her father disappeared like a gust of wind. She blinked in confusion. "Thing? What?"

When her father came before, he bought a lot of things for her and Yi Yi, even Gu Mingjing was not left out. What is so mysterious now?

Not long after, Jian Yucheng walked in with a box.

"Open it and take a look."

"Dad, what is this?" Jianshu opened the box with a puzzled and curious look on his face, and what caught his eye was a very familiar passbook.

What? Another passbook?

After looking at the balance clearly, Jianshu's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Tens and hundreds...

Five digits?

Where did her father get so much money?

Aren’t all the family belongings in her hands?

"Dad, is this the private money you hid without my mom's knowledge?" Jian Shu asked cautiously.

Sure, Comrade Lao Jian!

Jian Yucheng knocked her head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is your father's salary and bonuses over the years. It's also his private money. When has your father ever saved any private money?"

"No? But I clearly remember my mother when I was little…"

Jian Yucheng quickly covered her mouth and said, "Alright, alright, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. Hurry up and put the passbook away. Don't tell anyone, okay? Keep it safe."

Only after Jian Shu nodded to indicate that he would not say anything more did Jian Yucheng let go of his hand.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm not that stupid. I've kept all the money at home safe and haven't told anyone. Gu Mingjing doesn't care about that either. He gives his salary directly to me. It's enough for me to give him pocket money every month."

"You have the same demeanor as your mother did back then." Jian Yucheng smiled, with some nostalgia in his eyes.

"Of course, she's my biological daughter. Who else could she be like if not her?" Jian Shu snorted complacently, then pushed the passbook back. "Dad, you keep this. I'm not short of money. All our family assets are in my hands. You just came back, and you need money a lot. I can't be with you for the past two years, so don't give it to me."

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. When the news of your sacrifice came back, the army gave you a pension. I have been keeping that money carefully. What should I do with it now?" Seeing the passbook, Jian Shu recalled this incident from his distant memory.

She had a job before, and her daily expenses were not large, so she had never touched that money, along with the family savings, and it had been sitting at the bottom of the box. Now that her father is back, should she return the money?

Jian Yucheng shook his head slightly and pushed the passbook back over. "No need. I know about that money. You don't have to worry about it. Just keep it safe. And this passbook too. Keep it all safe. I'm not short of money, your dad. Don't worry about me losing money. Besides, I get a salary every month, and I have everything I need for food, clothing, and daily necessities. There's no need for big expenses."

"Then you keep it too. No one would complain about having too much money." Jianshu didn't believe it. The money was all in her hands. How could her father have any money left?

The father and daughter pushed the passbook back and forth as if they were pushing not money but a flood or a beast. If an outsider saw this, they would probably be stunned and shout:

Don’t give it to me! I want it!

Jian Yucheng was helpless. Why did his daughter have the illusion that he was a pauper?

"Keep it. I already said I still have money. I'm not trying to be rich."

Jian Shu's eyes lit up, "Dad, you really did hide some private money!"

She thought all the family belongings were in her hands, but it turned out that her father had secretly hidden something.

"What do you mean by private money? Those are all our family's money. I just haven't had the chance to tell you. Don't worry, everything that belongs to dad will be yours in the future." Jian Yucheng raised his eyebrows, stuffed the passbook to Jian Shu, and then took out the remaining things in the box one by one.

"This longevity lock and the small gold bracelet are for Yiyi, and these are for you."

Apart from the longevity locks and gold bracelets that are obviously used by children, the rest are various jade and gold ornaments.

Jian Shu picked up a jade bracelet and put it on his hand. "Dad, does it look good?"

"It looks great!" Jian Yucheng nodded. "Besides these, there are more at home. I'll give them all to you when you get back."

"Dad, you're so nice!" Jian Shu didn't ask her father where the things came from. There must be no problem with the origin anyway. After all, her family is not short of these things. Given her father's status, there is really no need to take risks.

Then she picked up the small gold lock and bracelet and gently put them on the child, "Yi Yi, look, these are all gifts from grandpa!"

Jian Yucheng didn't stop her when he saw it, but just reminded her, "It's okay to wear it occasionally at home, but remember to take it off when there are people around, and don't wear it outside."

Even if the item was fine, it was better not to show off in the current situation. Although he could protect the child, there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

Jianshu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I know everything. I'll let her wear it today and take it off later." After all, it was a gift from her grandfather, he couldn't just keep it there forever.

These things are specially made for children and they can no longer be worn when they grow up.

She took off the bracelet and put it back in the box, and put the passbook away. Then she thought of the pile of things in the basement of the Jing City courtyard and felt that she had to confess to her father.

"Dad, I have something to tell you."
