Chapter 354 Seizing the Family Property
As he spoke, Wu Xiaoguang actually tried to grab it.
He looked reckless, but actually he was thinking a lot. Although Xu Youyou had many bodyguards, they were not brought into the cellar. The old lady was too old to be his opponent.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Youyou held the safe in one hand, and the other hand was extremely agile. Wu Xiaoguang didn't even know how she moved, and he had already fallen on his face on the ground.
"You...you let me go!" Wu Xiaoguang shouted angrily.
Xu Youyou pushed the man to the ground and said, "I'm afraid you won't listen even if I talk to you nicely. This is the only way I can talk to you. Listen to me, this safe is kept by your great-grandfather. It's not yours, understand?"
When Wu Xiaoguang heard this, he was more certain that there was a very important treasure in the box. He turned to Old Lady Wu and shouted, "Auntie, you are helping outsiders like this. If the old man knew you were doing this, he would definitely scold you to death!"
Old Mrs. Wu was not affected at all and said, "Xiao Guang, I have lived longer than you, and it is not the first time I have seen someone come to pick up the box. Miss Xu must have received a dream from your great-grandfather, otherwise this thing would not have been found."
Wu Xiaoguang was immediately furious.
Xu Youyou had no intention of continuing to explain. After her family members pushed her away, she was about to leave the cellar with the box when she suddenly heard the old man's voice.
"Girl, have someone throw my worthless prodigal son out, and tell my daughter that there is a box in the cellar. The things in this box are only for my daughter. I don't want to leave them to that prodigal son."
Xu Youyou paused when she heard this, and lowered her voice and said, "Grandpa, you won't give any of your family's things to your great-grandson?"
Grandpa Wu's voice was filled with a hint of regret: "Whatever I leave for this prodigal, he will squander it. And privately, I also want to leave the good things to my daughter. Besides, it's not like I left nothing for the prodigal. My daughter definitely won't want this two-story building in the village, so I'll leave it to this prodigal. The houses in the village can't be sold anyway, so he'll have a place to stay anyway."
Xu Youyou’s heart softened: “Okay.
She waved her hand and asked two bodyguards to go in and pull Wu Xiaoguang out. They locked him up in a room in the two-story building and planned to release him after the matter in the cellar was settled.
"Miss Xu, is there anything else?" Old Mrs. Wu asked puzzledly.
"The old man has something to give you. He hopes to give these things to you and doesn't want Wu Xiaoguang to be involved in anything." Xu Youyou said.
Mrs. Wu paused after hearing this: "Father...Did father really say that?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "You know, the old man doesn't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. According to his original words: he wants to leave good things to his daughter."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. After a long while, she nodded: "Since this is what the old man hopes for, as a junior, I should naturally obey it."
Following the old man's instructions, after a long period of tedious procedures, Mrs. Wu found an unlocked box from the corner of the cellar.
The box was about the size of a bucket, and contained a lot of small pieces.
When Mrs. Wu saw a small blue and white porcelain bowl, tears fell from her eyes. "This is the bowl I used to eat from when I was a child. I haven't seen this bowl since I went to college. I thought it was broken, but I didn't expect it to be carefully kept by my father."
Xu Youyou had sharp eyes and was well versed in porcelain. She only took a glance and said, "This seems to be a product of the Ming Dynasty official kiln..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady handed the small bowl to Xu Youyou. Xu Youyou turned over the small bowl and immediately saw the signature at the bottom: "It's actually a small blue and white bowl from the Yongle period, produced by the official kiln, and well preserved. If it were to be auctioned, the starting price might be several million."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was full of disbelief: "But this is indeed the bowl I ate from when I was a child, except that there was something stuck to the bottom of the bowl when I was a child..."
Xu Youyou recalled the era when the old lady was a child, and immediately understood everything. She said, "It was dark under the lamp. At that time, people didn't dare to hide their treasures. They just showed them off openly. Most people probably wouldn't associate them with antiques."
Xu Youyou did not ask the old lady whether she wanted to sell the treasures in the box. After all, seeing how unusual the treasures were, she would probably keep them as a keepsake.
Now there were only the two of them in the cellar. Xu Youyou had just finished her last task and was about to leave when Old Lady Wu suddenly said, "Miss Xu, I...can I ask you for a favor? If you dream of my father again, please tell him that he is the best father in the world. If there is a next life, I still want to be his daughter..."
Xu Youyou felt a lump in her throat and nodded vigorously.
At this moment, an old voice came to her ears: "Girl, tell my daughter for me that she is also the best daughter in the world."
Xu Youyou opened her mouth and finally said what the old man said.
Mrs. Wu didn't seem to have any doubts about Xu Youyou's immediate message. Instead, her nose felt sore and tears flowed down: "Miss Xu, you are a very capable person. Don't worry, I am half buried in the ground, and I won't say anything outside."
Xu Youyou immediately understood that the old lady had guessed that she could hear the voice of the old man's soul.
She should have been afraid, but at this moment she felt nothing in her heart. If outsiders knew that someone with such special abilities had such abilities, they would usually be afraid of being sliced into pieces.
But Xu Youyou is strong enough now, and she has no doubt that she can protect herself.
As if the last regret was settled, Xu Youyou and the old lady had just come out of the cellar when the cell phone rang.
"Boss, the old man... the old man's heart has stopped beating... the doctor said this is his death... this shouldn't be the case. The doctor clearly said that after surviving what happened last night, the old man can still live for a few more years..."
On the phone, Liu Xiangyi's voice was full of panic.
When Mrs. Wu received the call, her face was full of sadness, but she didn't seem surprised at all.
"My condolences." Xu Youyou said softly.
Although Mrs. Wu was sad, she still had to support herself and take care of the old man's funeral.
Xu Youyou did not leave immediately, but stayed with her bodyguards to help the Wu family deal with the aftermath.
Although Wu Xiaoguang was a jerk, he was not so bad as to make a fool of himself during a funeral. He was very honest for a while. When the funeral was over, he immediately said to the old lady, "Auntie, you are a married woman, you can't compete with me for the house and cellar in the family!"
He has almost accepted his fate now, knowing that he cannot get back the box that Xu Youyou took away. He doesn't know that the old lady also took a box from the cellar, and at this moment she is still thinking about renting the cellar to the crew and making a lot of money.
