"Thank you, sir," Xiaoyu's tears fell into the basin of water.
Old Man Guan stroked Xiaoyu's hair. "It's not like we're being distant. Granddaughter, I know you put a lot of effort into finding Guan Bo. I know you did it for me, to leave an heir for the Guan family. You didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. But remember, you will always be my granddaughter. Whether it's Guan Bo or anyone else, they are all outsiders in my heart. You are my granddaughter, my dearest person, and no one can replace you. If he dares to treat you badly, I will not let him get away with it."
Xiaoyu, her face streaked with tears, leaned against Old Man Guan's lap. "Grandpa, you are my dearest person, always will be."
"If I didn't truly love Guan Bo, I wouldn't mind leaving the father behind and keeping the son."
Light rain...
The sadness vanished almost immediately.
Although she had ulterior motives when she approached Guan Bo, Guan Bo himself is a very good person. After so many years together, there are genuine feelings between them. If she wanted to leave her father and keep her son, marriage would have been impossible.
Old Man Guan then explained the things he had left at the Li family's house to Xiaoyu again: "Those things were passed down from our ancestors. I'm only passing them on to you, and you'll pass them on to your children. Wealth can be a powerful motivator, so don't test people's hearts with money. No matter how good your relationship with your husband is, don't mention it. If he asks about it later, your first thing to do is be wary. After all, Guan Bo is also a member of the Guan family, and he might feel that taking those things is more legitimate than you. You can't be too careful. If I'm no longer here and he has ulterior motives, go to your second brother, and he'll help you deal with it."
Xiaoyu nodded solemnly, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know."
People's hearts change, and Xiaoyu understands this principle.
Old Man Guan certainly didn't want that day to come, but he had to tell them what needed to be told. Guan Bo didn't know yet, but there was no guarantee that Guan Yi wouldn't tell his grandson in the future. He still had to take precautions. He hoped that the young couple could continue to live a good life. He would also give Guan Yi a warning.
Wu Zhiqi and Li Mancang arranged for Xiaoyu to get married at Guan Laotou's place, and Wu Zhiqi came over to sleep with Xiaoyu that night.
The mother and daughter lay on the bed, with Xiaoyu clinging to Wu Zhiqi's arm.
"Mom, I'm so lucky in my life to have met Grandpa, my third brother, and all of you."
"Don't say anything sentimental. If you cry your eyes out, you won't look pretty tomorrow. You're right upstairs from us, we see you every day. You can say whatever you want anytime," Wu Zhiqi told Xiaoyu, preventing her from saying anything emotional.
Xiaoyu chuckled, "Mom, look at you, I've already prepared myself emotionally. Other people are reluctant to let their daughters get married, but I think you're eager for me to get married."
Wu Zhiqi: "Are you married? We see each other every day, upstairs and downstairs, why should I be upset?"
Xiaoyu: "Hehe, that's true, it's too close. Mom, can you teach me how to make Guan Bo treat you as well as Dad does?"
Wu Zhiqi... Li Mancang is just like that. She didn't do anything, so how could she teach him?
The next morning, Guan Bo arrived early to pick up the bride.
Xiaoyu wore a bright red wedding dress, which made her look even more beautiful.
The young couple stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Guan Yi chuckled and said, "Big brother, look how well these two kids match."
Old Man Guan: "You old widower, why are you here to pick up the bride? Don't you know the rules? Whose grandfather comes to pick up the bride?"
Guan Yi...do they even need to be so particular about these things in their relationship? Isn't his presence a way of showing he values them?
Old Man Guan snorted at Guan Yi, "He has no manners at all, getting more and more unruly with age."
