Chapter 47
Old Mrs. Wang rummaged through the drawers and found a tattered cloth bag, then peeled off the bag layer by layer, revealing an exquisite small square box inside.
The box was antique and looked like an old item. Jiang Nuo concentrated and held his breath, and suddenly had a premonition: maybe the old lady was not confused this time.
Then, Mrs. Wang carefully opened the lid of the box and took out a box of expired White Rabbit candies.
Jiang Nuo: “…………”
Young Master Jiang rubbed his temples and instructed the nurse, "Sister Zhao, ask Aunt Mei to come over and buy Grandma two pounds of handmade milk candies that are still within their best-ever tasting period. Grandma, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
But he didn't leave in the end. The old lady grabbed his wrist and said, "You haven't finished watching yet."
"Grandma, I really don't want to eat it..." Jiang Nuo stopped short before he could finish his refusal. He gradually became serious and asked, "What is this?"
Old Lady Wang pulled out a neatly folded piece of yellowed letter paper from under the candy box and handed it to Jiang Nuo with a smile: "Granddaughter-in-law, Grandma will give the house to you two."
“…” Jiang Nuo took it, unfolded it, and found a whole passage of words written crookedly inside, with the title “Will”.
The content was to donate the property under his name to his grandson Gu Jiangkuo. It had signatures, fingerprints, and even signatures of witnesses, and the date was five years ago.
Jiang Nuo: "Grandma, did you write this?"
Old Lady Wang: "I'll give it all to you. Take the candy too. I'll give it all to you and Dajiang."
Jiang Nuo: "Grandma..."
Old Lady Wang touched Jiang Nuo's head, and as if she couldn't get enough of him, she said happily, "He's so handsome! Our Dajiang is really lucky."
Jiang Nuo: “………………”
Old Mrs. Wang is not well educated and often fails to express herself clearly.
To the extent that, he always thought that Old Lady Wang was illiterate. Did she really write this will herself?
Regardless, Jiang Nuo solemnly put the will away and said, "Grandma, thank you. I'll keep it well."
"Dajiang has had a hard life. He has no parents and was cheated of his money by Weiguo at such a young age. I am giving him this house to marry him off... It's because I, an old lady, didn't teach my son well. Weiguo is too greedy and even embezzled his dead sister's money, leaving Dajiang penniless. He also accused me of being partial. Poor Dajiang. He can't get married without a house... Gu Min is also a good boy. My poor daughter..." The old lady seemed confused again. Her words were incoherent and her mood gradually became depressed. She was about to cry.
"It's all in the past, grandma," Jiang Nuo held Grandma Wang's hand, "I promise you, I will take good care of Dajiang."
Old Lady Wang often told the two of them to live a good life, so Jiang Nuo also habitually accepted the setting of taking care of each other and supporting each other with Gu Jiangkuo. When comforting the old lady, he blurted out without thinking.
The old lady also picked up the joke in a second: "I'm relieved that you two are doing well!"
Jiang Nuo: “…” Okay.
Jiang Nuo felt that he should call Gu Jiangkuo back immediately. The weight of this will was heavier than the legal team hired by the Jiang family. If he remembered correctly, the old lady should not have been ill four years ago, which means that the will has legal effect.
Old Lady Wang's emotions came and went quickly. Forgetting her deceased daughter, she continued to flip through the books with a smile, "This is for you too. It's Dajiang's father's heirloom."
.
When Gu Jiangkuo received Jiang Nuo's call, he was still in the old house. Under his watchful eye, Wang Weiguo hastily searched the old house, but as expected, he found nothing.
"I have something else to do, let me go." Wang Weiguo wiped his sweat and said.
"Uncle, what's the rush?" Gu Jiangkuo said. "Didn't you send me a fake court summons earlier? What exactly do you want to do? Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
"This is your territory, I won't talk to you!" Wang Weiguo's voice was a little trembling. He was really afraid of this "somewhat messed up" nephew.
"You also said that this is my territory." Gu Jiangkuo looked down at him, "So, whether we can chat or not is not up to you."
.
When Wang Weiguo came out of Old Lady Wang's half-demolished old house, he covered his mouth with his tie, and a little bruise could still be seen at the corner of his mouth.
But Wang Weiguo did not dare to slow down. He stumbled and jogged all the way out of the construction site, even forgetting to take off the safety helmet that the foreman lent him.
So when he went out, he was caught by a group of ruffians.
"Catch him!"
Wang Weiguo: “?”
Before Wang Weiguo could react, the hooligans held him down and kicked him in the stomach.
"!" Wang Weiguo bent over in pain, "Cough cough cough, help! I have no grudge against you, you've got the wrong person!"
"Yes," the yellow-haired leader said, "Look at you in a suit, looking so handsome, you must be the leader of Party A, from the Jiang Group, right?"
Wang Weiguo: "No! I was just passing by."
"Still trying to quibble! Shut him up!" Huang Mao kicked Wang Weiguo again. "This construction site is very strictly managed. We've been waiting here for two weeks and haven't been able to get in! You're just passing by and you can just walk in and out with your helmet on? Who are you kidding?"
"Brother, how do we deal with him?"
Huang Mao touched his chin and said, "Let's keep him for now. I'll ask Brother Li Qing for instructions and see what he says. Damn, I finally caught someone important. This time I can report to the mission."
.
After Gu Jiangkuo received a call from Jiang Nuo, he let Wang Weiguo go for the time being.
He had actually wanted to go back a long time ago, but Jiang Nuo would not allow him to delay his studies, and he himself did not want to be lazy at work - after all, this was the first job given to him by Young Master Jiang, and Gu Jiangkuo did not dare to neglect it.
So I never had a legitimate reason to go back and visit Jiang Nuo.
Now, having received the call, Gu Jiangkuo wished he could grow wings and fly back. He briefly explained the work to his subordinates, then strode out of the construction site and started the pickup truck provided by the company.
The accelerator roared, and the pickup truck roared onto the dirt road.
Gu Jiangkuo sometimes felt that the saying "things resemble their owners" was true, and that he was suited to this kind of cheap, durable, shabby car, just like Xiaonuo was born to drive, no, to ride in exquisite and expensive luxury cars.
Thinking of Young Master Jiang, whom he hadn't seen for two weeks, Gu Jiangkuo became more and more eager. He overtook other cars all the way and drove the pickup truck as if it were flying on the deserted highway in the development zone.
When they returned to the villa, the big dog Wangcai was the first to greet them warmly as usual. Gu Jiangkuo rubbed the dog's head perfunctorily, then ran across the front yard and went straight to the door. Without calling Aunt Mei, he took out the key and opened the door himself, "Master, I'm back!"
Gu Jiangkuo hurriedly changed his shoes, then belatedly remembered that he had just returned from the construction site and was covered in mud and dust, and even dog hair. Xiao Nuo would definitely be disgusted, so he had better change his clothes and take a shower before seeing him.
While he was hesitating, Young Master Jiang half-appeared on the stairs to the second floor and waved at him: "Jiang Kuo! You're back?"
Gu Jiangkuo wiped his palms awkwardly and said, "I'm going to wash my hands..."
Jiang Nuo: "Wash later, come up quickly, I have something important to tell you!"
At this time, Jiang Nuo was still holding the "family heirloom" given to him by Old Lady Wang. It was not actually accurate to call it a family heirloom, as the thing was not valuable. What was valuable was not the thing itself, but the word "Gu" printed on it.
