“The timing makes sense, but if Yali and Mingcheng have a child, why would she marry Ye Zhiguo?” Sun Qiuyun still couldn’t understand.
The old lady sighed and said sadly, "Mingcheng is gone after all, all to save Qing'er."
The document clearly states that Ye Qingqing is her aunt's only direct relative, and Ye Mingcheng is not mentioned at all. What does that mean?
This means that Ye Mingcheng was already dead at that time.
Moreover, it is very likely that Xu Yali married Ye Zhiguo because Ye Mingcheng got into trouble, and there must be a reason for it.
Unfortunately, Xu Yali is no longer with us, and it's likely that the truth of what happened back then will never be found out.
“That Ye Zhiguo must know the inside story. I took a look, and my aunt returned a lot of property. Most of the valuable property is on the list, and Ye Zhiguo was involved in the whole process. This shows that Ye Zhiguo’s methods are quite good. He should know Mingcheng’s whereabouts.”
Sang Huaiyuan didn't elaborate. Although he never liked to judge others by his own standards, he had heard from the old lady that Ye Zhiguo was not kind to Qingya and her brother, which meant that this man was not a good person.
Ye Zhiguo's marriage to Xu Yali at that time made him suspicious of the man's intentions.
It's very likely that it's all for the huge sum of money that Gu Jia has.
Sang Huaiyuan knew very well that Gu Nianci's most valuable assets were not the house, nor the compensation, but the antiques, each of which was a rare treasure and priceless.
Because Gu Nianci's father, who was also her maternal great-uncle, was a playboy but an antique collector. He spent all his money on collecting antiques. If it weren't for his aunt's shrewdness and financial management skills, no matter how big the Gu family's business was, it would have been squandered by his great-uncle sooner or later.
Unfortunately, her great-aunt was in poor health, and Gu Nianci passed away before she could grow up. Later, her great-uncle also contracted tuberculosis from opium smoking and died not long after. The entire family business was inherited by Gu Nianci, who was only ten years old at the time.
If it weren't for his maternal family's power, these family businesses would definitely have been seized by Gu Nianci's cousins. His maternal family fought for the property for Gu Nianci, and because Gu Nianci had a deep relationship with the old lady since childhood, the old lady took the initiative to offer to take Gu Nianci to live in her home.
Thus, Gu Nianci was raised by the old lady from the age of ten. Even after she got married, the old lady still took this cousin with her, treating her as both a sister and a daughter.
Sang Huaiyuan glanced at the list. Although the antiques on it were not complete, the most valuable parts of Gu Nianci's antiques were basically all there. If an ordinary family could get an antique, they would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
Ye Zhiguo's efforts in running around for this property that didn't belong to him made him suspicious of Ye's motives.
The property was returned to Ye Qingqing, and Ye Zhiguo, being Ye Qingqing's legal father, was fully entitled to inherit it.
If something were to happen to Ye Qingqing, an unmarried young woman, and Xu Yali were no longer alive, her father Ye Zhiguo would be the direct heir, and that enormous fortune would belong to Ye Zhiguo.
"Oh no... Qing'er is in danger!"
Not only did Sang Huaiyuan think of it, but the old lady also thought of it, and her expression changed drastically.
Although Sun Qiuyun was a step behind, she quickly understood and said anxiously, "Quickly call Qingya, this child probably doesn't know about her background yet!"
