As he spoke, Old Yuan took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and stuffed them directly into Mei Fang's hand.
"These are my properties in Beijing and Hong Kong, and also the key to my bank safe deposit box."
"Keep these safe. If something happens to me, you can divide these things among your older sisters."
Mei Fang was speechless upon hearing this.
She stared blankly at the keys he handed her, opening her mouth as if to speak.
But.
Old Yuan didn't give her a chance to speak.
"I trust you to handle things. I know you will never mistreat them."
He took a deep breath and said, "Mei Fang, Old Gu's fate is extremely difficult. Even if I wanted to help him defy fate, I'm afraid I would have to trade my life for his."
"So, you might become a widow."
Mei Fang was speechless upon hearing this.
"Are you serious?"
She stared blankly at Lao Yuan and said.
Old Yuan nodded.
"Um."
He said in a deep voice, "We all owe him a debt of gratitude. It is only right to pay back debts. Besides... now that the world is at peace, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not. But we can't do without him."
“I will take the blame for him. He and Yu Mingxiang are both so old, it would be easy for them to get together.”
"The day they get engaged will probably be the day I have to face my calamity in his place."
"When the time comes, Meifang, don't be sad. Just do what you need to do and focus on your own things."
"In this vast world, there is always a place for you. My taking on this calamity for him is a stroke of good fortune, and I will surely protect you after my death!"
Old Yuan's voice was filled with sighs.
When I said these words, I felt a deep sense of reluctance.
Mei Fang: ...
She blinked her big eyes, looked at him for a while, and stammered, "Can only you do this?"
Old Yuan nodded. "Yes."
He said, "To take on a calamity for someone else is, upon closer examination, deceiving Heaven. Only someone of the Yuan family bloodline can accomplish this; only I can do it."
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang lowered her eyes.
"oh."
She responded with a sound of agreement, and then...
He snatched the keys from Old Yuan's hand and said, "I thought it was something serious, a huge injustice! And this is it?"
Old Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.
I snapped back to reality instantly.
Any sadness or reluctance vanished in an instant.
"no!"
He straightened Mei Fang's body, looking incredulous, and said, "Isn't this a big deal? Isn't this enough to make you feel wronged?"
"I'm about to die, and you'll be a widow!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang chuckled.
She scoffed and said, "Even if I become a widow, I'll still be the most beautiful Black Widow in Hong Kong!"
"With a large inheritance to inherit and the protection of you, Yu Yin, how can you call it a grievance?"
"Old Yuan, stop joking around."
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan exclaimed: "!!!"
As if struck by lightning.
I feel terrible.
"You! I..."
He pointed at Mei Fang, then at himself, and said with a heartbroken expression, "I always thought we were truly in love, but I never expected... I never expected that my sincere feelings would be misplaced!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Fang exclaimed, "!!!"
He shook off the goosebumps on his body, then stuffed the keys into his pocket. "Stop with the mushy stuff."
She sniffed and said seriously, "Since it has to be you, then you go for it!"
"Don't worry, I will take good care of my two older sisters after you leave!"
"We will adopt a child from a collateral branch of the Yuan family, raise him well, and let him inherit your mantle in the future. We will never let the Yuan family lineage be broken, nor will we tarnish your reputation!"
The sound falls.
Mei Fang resolutely turned around and walked into the house.
Old Yuan: ……
Watching Mei Fang's departing figure, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
"good."
He mumbled a reply.
He had no regrets about taking on the calamity for Old Gu.
He believed that his three daughters-in-law would understand his predicament.
