Grandpa Gu sat in his armchair, unable to resist pursing his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction.
That brat, as soon as he got back, he ran around like a headless fly. What important thing could he possibly have that he absolutely had to go for?
In his view, they clearly didn't care about him, an old man.
They finally have a lovely great-grandson, but they don't even know to bring him over more often so that his grandfather can see him and enjoy the joys of family life.
snort!
He snorted heavily, his anger rising even more, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen because of it.
At this moment, Gu Bin, who had already walked away, was completely unaware that his grandfather was throwing a tantrum at home because of his neglect.
He clutched the money tightly in his hand, hurrying to the guesthouse without stopping.
As soon as he entered the room, his gaze was immediately drawn to the gleaming gold bars that were ostentatiously placed on Xie Yan's bed. His eyes widened, and he instinctively slammed the door shut with a loud "bang."
Even after closing the door, he was still uneasy, so he quietly opened it a crack, poked his head out, and looked around to see if anyone was outside.
Seeing his cautious demeanor, Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry, there's no one outside, and there's a cabinet blocking the view from here, so you can't see anything unless you come inside."
At this moment, Gu Bin had no time to blame Xie Yan for being careless. His eyes were fixed on the gold bars on the bed, as if drawn by a magnet, his gaze filled with curiosity and amazement.
He couldn't resist reaching out and gently touching the gold bar, muttering, "So gold bars are this beautiful!"
His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "It's so golden and bright!" His expression was as radiant as it was on his wedding day.
Xie Yan picked up a bag from the ground, tossed it directly onto the gold bars, and said, "They're yours! Pack them all up and enjoy them at home."
Gu Bin seemed to be bewitched, completely ignoring Xie Yan. He reached out and touched the gold bars in the bag, then opened his mouth to take a bite!
Xie Yan reacted quickly and stopped the man, saying with a wry smile, "Brother, this thing might not be very clean. Are you sure you want to take a bite?"
"You're from a wealthy family, you've seen the world, don't do anything to embarrass yourself!"
Gu Bin chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and explained, "I saw that's how the characters in the comic books bite!"
Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, the stuff is real, I'm not lying to you!"
Gu Bin rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "Is that what I meant?"
Then he chuckled and said, "Hehehe, I've never seen so much gold before, I just wanted to try it out."
After saying that, he quickly stuffed all the gold bars into the bag, and even after he finished, he was still a little scared.
He turned to look at Xie Yan, his eyes filled with worry: "Is there anything that would be safer to put inside?"
Xie Yan took out a snakeskin bag from the side and said, "Put it in here to ensure safety."
Gu Bin looked at the snakeskin bag and shook his head in disgust. "No, it's not safe."
Xie Yan: "..."
Gu Bin's eyes darted around and landed on Xie Yan's backpack. It was a large-capacity backpack that Yu Yuehui had specially made for Xie Yan, sturdy and practical.
"Can I borrow your bag for a bit?" Gu Bin said, already reaching for the bag.
Xie Yan looked puzzled: "? Brother, my clothes are in there."
Without a second thought, Gu Bin took out the clothes one by one and casually laid them on the bed.
Xie Yan looked at the clothes scattered messily on the bed and couldn't help but feel secretly glad that he had taken some clothes out of his spatial storage and put them in his bag last night on a whim. Otherwise, he didn't know how many secrets would have been exposed by now.
Finally, Gu Bin carefully put all the gold bars into his bag, carried it on his back, and then left the house with peace of mind.
After arriving at the courtyard house, the two immediately split up: one went back to hide the gold bars, and the other went to complete the paperwork for buying the house.
After Xie Yan and the Chang family father and son completed the house transfer, Xie Yan felt much more at ease, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Chang Gui'er was also very excited. "I'll buy the tickets today, and I can move out in two or three days at most. I'll give you the keys then."
Xie Yan nodded, his tone amicable, "It's alright, I won't be staying here for now, you can move out at your own pace!"
Chang Zhide looked at the house with a reluctant gaze, his eyes filled with longing.
Xie Yan took a look and understood that the old man was reluctant to move out of the house. After all, it was their ancestral home, and there was no need to force others to move out in a hurry, since it was only for a few days.
Chang Gui'er naturally knew her father's reluctance, but his job in Shanghai not only offered excellent pay, but his father-in-law could also provide him with a lot of support in his career.
On the other hand, all they have left is this ancestral home. If they want to develop their business here, they can only rely on their own hard work, without any external support.
With 20,000 yuan, he could easily buy a well-located villa in Shanghai. Therefore, he didn't feel bad about selling this house at all. He just wanted to move out as soon as possible and go back to work.
On the third day, Xie Yan received the key to the house.
The first thing Xie Yan did after getting the key was to change the locks.
I specially bought a large and sturdy lock and carefully installed it on the front door, as if this would add a solid layer of protection to this new property.
Xie Yan originally planned to buy some things that were missing from the house and decorate the new house properly, but some of Gu Bin's friends, upon learning that Gu Bin had returned, insisted that everyone get together.
Zhang Cehan had met Xie Yan before, and this time he specifically instructed Gu Bin to bring Xie Yan along as well.
After hearing this, Xie Yan was completely stunned and said helplessly, "Brother, I can understand you taking your wife and children, but why are you taking me?"
It's utterly baffling.
Gu Bin rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You think I wanted to bring you along?"
"It's all because Zhang Cehan already spread your name around." He paused, then continued, "Besides, if you're going to develop your career here, are you sure you don't want these connections?"
Xie Yan: "..."
He sighed helplessly, knowing that Gu Bin was right, and could only ask, "Yes, when are we going? What's the address?"
Gu Bin rolled his eyes again. "It's a state-run restaurant. This afternoon, I was just saying I'd take you there to try it last time. Let's have a good meal there this time."
He was worried that Xie Yan might feel uncomfortable because he wasn't familiar with those people. After all, although his friends were all from privileged backgrounds and had decent character, they weren't necessarily easy to get along with.
So he gave Xie Yan a heads-up beforehand, saying, "If those people make you uncomfortable, just ignore them. Treat it as a free meal."
