Chapter 62: Do Not Read
That casual attitude and tone made Jian Yao's heart tremble.
Jian Yao tightened her hands in front of her, "Grandma, I can't accept this."
This is too expensive!
The old lady patted Jian Yao's hand soothingly, "How can this be so valuable? You silly child."
She casually picked up the jewelry box and put it aside, then took out a sealed document from underneath, opened it and handed it to Jian Yao.
"Ayan's grandfather left early. This is a meeting gift he prepared for his wife in advance. Open it and take a look."
In a family like the Gu family, the jewelry and antiques that can be seen are often not necessarily valuable.
But if you put it in a folder, it will most likely be very expensive.
Jian Yao looked at Mother Gu helplessly.
Mother Gu smiled and encouraged gently, "Gifts from elders cannot be refused. This is Grandpa's intention. You don't have to be restrained."
When Jian Yao took the document, her fingertips were trembling slightly.
The slender white fingertips lifted a corner of the wax seal and gently peeled it off, revealing the top of the document with the words "Gu's Share Transfer Agreement" written in large letters.
Jian Yao widened her eyes in surprise, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining brightly.
It is Gu's shares, not a branch of Gu.
Even if it is only 2%, it is an astronomical number.
Moreover, the Gu family had a large family background, and it was already extremely generous of them to give her a share as a granddaughter-in-law who had just married into the family.
Grandma Gu looked like she was presenting a treasure. When she smiled, her eye wrinkles appeared. "Your grandfather has already signed and stamped this document. You just need to write your name on it and it will take effect immediately."
She took the pen that had been prepared in advance from the servant and put it into Jian Yao's hand without waiting for her to refuse.
"Write quickly, write quickly, your uncles will come back later and they will need to collect red envelopes!"
Jian Yao bit her lip and hesitated to write.
Mother Gu gently advised, "Yaoyao, we are a family. You deserve it and you don't have to feel burdened."
They are rich, not stupid.
Things are prepared in advance, but we don’t take out the best for everyone who comes.
If this kid A Yan has poor vision and brings back a troublemaker, he won't even think about getting shares.
Jian Yao deserves it, and as the elders, they gave it willingly.
Jian Yao held the pen, her eyes slightly red.
She grew up in an orphanage when she was young, and her parents treated her well after she returned to Jane's home.
But since she was not raised since childhood, she is a little reserved. The reason why I left the family property to her was more because of blood relationship.
This was the first time an elder told her that she was given something because she deserved it.
That's all.
With the old lady and the old man as examples, Gu's mother's pink diamond necklace and earrings seem much more approachable.
"Mom doesn't know what you like. Wasn't the ring that A-Yan prepared for you when you got married a pink diamond? It goes perfectly with this one."
Mother Gu picked up the necklace and compared it to Jian Yao's fair and slender neck, her eyes full of admiration.
"At your age, you should dress up nicely."
As they were talking, Gu Zhiyan and other members of the Gu family finally came in one after another.
The Gu family has many descendants, and a group of people came in, all wearing high-end suits, all with cool and domineering faces, as if they were attending some business commendation meeting.
Jian Yao thought she had a good memory, but at this moment she couldn't tell who was who.
Fortunately, they were somewhat aware of her predicament and would introduce themselves before talking to her.
Jian Yao called out to each person obediently and then wrote down their names carefully.
After a lot of effort, everyone in the group got to know each other and had already received a thick stack of red envelopes.
The old lady then remembered, "Yaoyao, you don't have our contact information yet, right?"
She took out her phone and opened WeChat for Jian Yao to scan. "Add grandma. I'll send you a message directly when I miss you in the future."
"OK."
Jian Yao obediently took out her mobile phone to scan the old lady's QR code and wrote down the notes carefully.
Mother Gu, who was standing by, also quickly took out her phone to check WeChat.
Seeing that other people around her were also ready to make a move, Old Lady Gu glanced over and said, "I'll add Yaoyao to the group. If you have anything to say, just talk to her in the group."
When he turned to look at Jian Yao, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes. "We, the Gu family, don't have much else but a little money, which allows us to have a say in Beijing. If anyone dares to bully you, just say something in the group and let these useless uncles and aunts vent their anger for you."
Jian Yao silently looked at the useless uncles in front of him, whom he could only see in the financial news, and nodded cautiously.
After the elders had given their greeting gifts, Gu Zhiyan took out the gifts they had prepared and distributed them to the elders.
Gu Zhiyan’s arrangements were very thoughtful, and everyone’s gifts were prepared according to their respective preferences.
It was just that when introducing Mrs. Gu and Mother Gu, it was specifically stated that it was Jian Yao who chose them personally.
Jian Yao originally thought that her gift was not impolite, but compared with the gifts given by Mrs. Gu and Mother Gu, it was really not presentable.
Unexpectedly, the old lady and Mother Gu liked it unexpectedly.
Especially the set of dolls given to the old lady.
Jian Yao carefully observed their expressions and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they really liked it.
*
When Mrs. Gu said she would make something delicious for her, she really meant it.
Cook by yourself.
Mother Gu followed her to the kitchen out of concern, while Gu Zhiyan was talking to some elders in the living room.
Jian Yao finally found some free time to look around.
The old house was very big, so she didn't dare to go far and just walked around the tea room next to the living room.
Unlike the grand living room, the tea room is much warmer, with many photos of Gu's family hanging on the walls.
Almost all of them are family photos.
Jian Yao immediately saw the young Gu Zhiyan in an old photo.
He was wearing a black suit and a red bow tie, and his red lips and white teeth were almost a one-to-one replica of his current appearance.
So cute!
Jian Yao's eyes widened slightly. This was Gu Zhiyan she had never seen before.
She looked along the wall of photos and saw a photo album on the rosewood bookshelf in the corner.
The surface of the old-fashioned photo album has turned slightly yellow, and it seems to be quite old.
Since the photo album can be placed so openly in the tea room for entertaining guests, it cannot be something very private.
It is probably the same as the one on the photo wall, just used to record life.
We have learned a lesson from the last refrigerator soy milk incident.
Jian Yao thought for a moment before carefully taking the album off the bookshelf and finding a soft stool with the best light to sit down and read.
She guessed correctly, it was indeed an album recording life, and all the photos were arranged in chronological order.
It starts with the photos of Mrs. Gu and Grandpa Gu when they got married, and continues to the photos of their children getting married and their grandchildren being born.
Each photo has a detailed record of the time, location and event.
It's like reading an interesting real-life comic book.
Jian Yao placed the book on her knees, turning the pages with one hand and resting her chin with the other, reading with great interest.
Just as she read Gu Zhiyan's part, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her hand that was about to turn the page.
A large shadow fell, and a familiar, refreshing smell instantly enveloped Jian Yao.
Jian Yao looked up blankly, and what she saw was the man's well-defined profile, only a few centimeters away from her face, so close that she could almost hear the sound of his breathing and feel the temperature of his breath.
The man's voice was very soft, and his usually casual tone was slightly nervous. His warm breath mixed with a crisp scent was like a small feather swirling into Jian Yao's ear, making her ear itchy.
"Don't look!"
