Sun Qiuyun wasn't envious of the property; she just didn't want her aunt's assets to fall into the hands of unqualified people. She was willing to accept it all even if it was confiscated after being returned, rather than letting those people benefit from it!
Unfortunately, neither of them, the old lady and Sang Huaiyuan, valued money. The old lady told Sang Huaiyuan not to investigate, and he really didn't, focusing all his attention on his work.
With time dragging on, if no investigation is conducted soon, those enormous assets could truly be lost!
Sang Huaiyuan said unhappily, "Our family is not short of money now. Having too much property is not only useless, but will also bring trouble. Besides, Aunt and Mingcheng are no longer here. What good would it do if we found out?"
The Sang and Gu families were just too rich, which is why so many people died in those years. If time could turn back, Sang Huaiyuan would rather the Sang family were just an ordinary family with nothing, even if they ate pickled vegetables and cornbread every day, at least the family would be together.
Sun Qiuyun retorted, "Although my aunt and cousin are gone and left no descendants, it is still their property. Who knows, maybe the people who harmed them are now in the hands of those people!"
The old lady and Sang Huaiyuan's expressions changed slightly; this was indeed possible!
Sun Qiuyun added, “Instead of letting those people benefit, we should take the property back. Although we don’t need it, we can donate it to charity. This way, we can do good deeds and accumulate good karma for my aunt and Mingcheng.”
The Sang family only stabilized a few years ago, and now that Sang Huaiyuan has also gained a firm foothold, some things... it's time to settle accounts!
The old lady sighed, "Qiuyun is right. I was wrong before. We can't let those people get away with this. Huaiyuan... take some time to investigate!"
"Sigh... I'll have my secretary handle this tomorrow, but things will be too chaotic then, and we won't be able to find out the information quickly." Sang Huaiyuan nodded in agreement.
"Take your time, there's no rush!" the old lady sighed again.
Sun Qiuyun suddenly slammed her hand on the table. "We're so stupid! Auntie has a house right next to ours. We just need to go and see who lives there to find out."
She and Sang Huaiyuan lived in the municipal government building. They were busy with work during the day and rarely came here. They usually only had free time in the evenings, so they never really paid attention to who lived in that house!
The old lady had only moved here less than a year ago. She came because of her poor health, as she wanted to spend the rest of her life here. However, she was afraid of being reminded of the past, so she didn't pay much attention to the condition of that house.
Xiao Li asked, "Which building? The left or the right?"
"right."
“I know, it’s a blond, blue-eyed foreign family with two kids. The house on the left has always been empty,” Xiao Li said. She goes to buy groceries every day and knows the situation of the houses in the neighborhood very well.
Sun Qiuyun muttered to herself in confusion, "Foreigners? Impossible... How could foreigners be living here?"
Xiao Li added, "The foreign husband works at the consulate, and they rent the house. I am from the same hometown as the nanny who works for the foreign family, and she told me that."
"That's right." Sun Qiuyun understood and instructed, "Xiao Li, ask your fellow villagers if you can find out who the landlord is!"
"Okay... I'll ask when I go grocery shopping tomorrow." Xiao Li readily agreed.
The next morning, Xiao Li returned from grocery shopping and told the old lady, "My fellow villager said that the foreigners didn't know who the landlord was either. They contacted the agency, and the person who signed the contract was a lawyer. The landlord never showed up."
