It was obvious that for that crazy woman, there seemed to be another topic to hype up, and the speed of spreading it was extremely fast. In just one afternoon, the "big event" of the Gu family had spread all over the place.
In front of the camera, her so-called sister, Gu Zhuer, looked even more pitiful. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she sobbed sadly: "Although grandpa didn't like me very much since I was a child, I am still very sad about his death. But what makes me even sadder is that my sister didn't seem to like us very much either. She took the old house of the Gu family and a lot of money and left. I am so sad. I thought I could live with my sister..."
Gu Zhuer was studying in the Broadcasting Department of S University. She was a campus beauty in her own right. With the background of the Gu family, it was not surprising that the media would interview her in light of such a major event as the death of the old man of the Gu family. But what was shocking was that Gu Zhuer would inadvertently mention such a "big event".
"Oh my god, who is that? Is that my sister? Grandpa just passed away and she already took over the Gu family's old house! How could there be such a daughter? Fortunately, the Gu family still has a lovely daughter like Gu Zhuer."
"That's right! It's simply disgusting to me. I heard that in addition to the house, they also took a lot of money. I heard that it was the Gu family's income for several years. Oh my God, this person is not only cunning but also vicious. The income for several years is 500,000 or 600,000."
"No, I heard it's even more than that, maybe even over a million!"
Wen He, who was said to have over 'millions' in her pocket, seemed oblivious to the rumors around her. She calmly paid the balance at the hospital front desk by swiping her card, just as she had done many times before. Even though she paid nearly 120,000 yuan in one go, there was no change on her face.
Until... she walked to the ward that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. Wen He paused slightly, rubbed her face, took a deep breath, and after making sure that the smile on her face was impeccable, she walked in with a loud voice.
"Mom, I'm here to see you..."
"Get lost! I don't want to see you. I don't have a daughter like you. What did I tell you when you came here a few days ago? What did you promise me? I told you that you have to fight for everything that belongs to you, Wen He! You are the first child of the Gu family. Those things belong to you! Don't let that woman take everything away from you!"
In the ward was a woman who was so thin that it was a little scary. She was not actually old, just under 36 years old. Judging from her facial features, one could tell that she must have been very good-looking when she was young, but the disease was wearing away her beauty as well as her spirit. This was Wen's mother. It seemed that she had not recovered since the year when Gu's father cheated on her.
It has to be said that Mother Wen was very scary as she seemed to be going crazy. Even the nurse who was taking care of her shrank to the side and didn't dare to get close to her. Wen He looked up slightly and understood what was going on. The TV in the ward was playing a pitiful scene of her half-sister, and the camera happened to capture Father Gu and the woman next to them.
Obviously, her mother already knew about her leaving the Gu family, but Wen He still didn't panic. Instead, she went forward to pull the kicked-over quilt for her mother and asked naturally, "Mom, do you want some fruit? I'll go downstairs and buy it for you."
"I won't eat! Wen He, tell me, didn't I promise your mom? I said I'd fight for it, I'd fight for it!"
"Yes, that's right, I agreed, but I've already given him a chance! From the day Grandpa passed away, I've already given him a chance. In his eyes, I saw more pity and charity, which I don't need. Mom, let's not have it anymore, okay? That home isn't really home. Now even 'Grandpa' is gone. There's no point in staying there anymore... Mom, this is my only relative in the world. Can't you just stand by me a little?"
At this point, Wen He's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Even though she was still smiling, it was uglier than crying. Perhaps provoked by her daughter's words, Wen's mother stopped making a fuss this time and just cried like a child. She only closed her eyes and rested until she was tired. But this happened two hours later.
But Wen He couldn't just rest like that, because she had more important things to do. After asking the nurse to take care of her mother, Wen He walked out of the hospital. In order to save money, Wen He didn't call a taxi, but spent a few dollars to take the bus, and then walked a short distance before returning to the small villa where she and her grandfather lived.
Unlike the outwardly serious image of the old man of the Gu family, Wen He always believed that his grandfather was an old naughty boy who had any hobbies but loved mysterious things. He even boasted that these formations and classical ancient books were left by a master in the past. Naturally, Wen He didn't believe it, and because of this, he had many arguments with old man Gu when he was a child.
Moreover, sometimes when Old Man Gu got the urge, he would pretend to be a charlatan to cheat people. Wen He, who had been with him since he was a child, naturally learned a little from him. But to be honest, those magical things had no effect on Old Man Gu, but on Wen He. At least the small orchard under the villa was created by Wen He using these magical things.
The reason why Wen He came back this time, in addition to packing some of his own things, was to fulfill Old Man Gu's will. Old Man Gu didn't seem to want these magical things to be lost after his death. The same was true for the old house in the suburbs. It was said that this was the house where Old Man Gu met a master when he was a child. Old Man Gu also wanted Wen He to help take care of it after his death, so Wen He simply brought the old house over.
To be honest, there are indeed quite a few of those mystical ancient books, but Mr. Gu preserved them very well, so Wen He didn't have much effort to sort them out. However, when sorting the ancient books, he found a small box with a small note on it, which read: To my beloved granddaughter Wen He.
It was grandpa's handwriting, and Wen He recognized it at a glance.
Inside was a small jade plate, engraved with what seemed to be an extremely ferocious big cat. Yes, it was a cat. Wen He originally thought it was a tiger, but when he looked closely, he found that it was a cat. Although it was very ferocious, it was indeed a cat.
Wen He also had an impression of this jade token. Before her grandfather died, when his consciousness was hazy, he repeatedly said that he must pass the jade token to Wen He. This was his most precious thing. Later, until the old man Gu was buried, Gu's father did not find the jade token and mistakenly thought that the old man Gu had remembered it wrong. It turned out that he was not wrong, but her grandfather had kept it for her a long time ago.
Wen He's nose suddenly felt a little sore, and he took a few deep breaths to hold back the tears in his eyes.
Because there were too many things, it seemed impossible to transport them to the old house in the suburbs by himself, so Wen He had to reluctantly call a car. When passing by the small orchard, Wen He seemed to remember something. After picking a few ripe melons and a bag of cherry tomatoes, he took a wooden stick and walked to the roots of the plants, messing around with the soil until all the soil on the surface was turned upside down. Only then did Wen He leave with satisfaction.
However, what no one knew was that several hours after Wen He left, when Gu's father sent people to the villa to collect his belongings, they were shocked to find that the small orchard that they had seen growing so lushly in the morning was completely withered and the plants seemed to have lacked nutrients and had begun to rot from the roots.
"Oh my god, what's going on? I saw a lot of juicy little tomatoes this morning. I secretly ate a few, and they were sweeter and more delicious than those sold outside. After eating them, I was so energetic all morning that I kept thinking about picking some more when I come back this afternoon."
"They're delicious and they make you feel more energetic? You're eating cherry tomatoes, not some miracle cure. You're lying based on the situation, okay? And look, these plants here have obviously been dead for a long time. Where did the cherry tomatoes come from? You couldn't have eaten someone else's, could you? Okay, forget it. Hurry and get into the house and start moving furniture. I guess all the big items in this house will be sold..."
