Even though he knew it was unfair to the original owner, he still did it, leaving no room for doubt.
Zhong Yuxiu understood the mentality of the Wan family's father and son. Before their biological daughter did anything to let them down, they felt guilty and distressed, always feeling that their adopted daughter had taken away the good resources of their biological daughter and was enjoying the good life that should have belonged to Wan Yutong.
However, when Wan Yutong betrayed them and cast them into oblivion without hesitation, they remembered the kindness of their adopted daughter and her thoughtfulness and consideration. However, no one would wait for anyone in the same place, and it was too late to regret.
"You are not atoning for your sins, you are trying to make yourself feel less guilty." It was because Zhong Yuxiu understood the mentality of the Wan family's father and son that she was unwilling to have too much involvement with them; one reason was that she did not want to be involved in the cause and effect of the original owner, and the other was the attitude of the father and son. She didn't know what to say.
The fact that they could abandon their adopted daughter at any time showed that they valued blood ties more than anything else. If that was the case, why would she want to get involved? Besides, she wasn't the original owner.
"Yes!" Wan Xuetang smiled bitterly, looking fragile and pitiful. "You're right. Yuning and I did all this just to find some psychological comfort."
No matter how pitiful he was, Zhong Yuxiu would not pity him. "You don't have to be like this. Wan Yuning is a kind girl. Even though she blames you, it's just that her will to live has disappeared. She doesn't want to do anything to you. That's why you and Wan Yuning changed and live a good life."
"Once the dead are dead, there is no resurrection. Since the mistake has been made, what good is it to regret it?" It will only add to your troubles.
Wan Xuetang smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt regretful as if he was desecrating the dead.
"You're right." Wan Xuetang swallowed the bitterness, at least on the surface, "Can you tell me who you are?"
Zhong Yuxiu said, "I'm not familiar with you, so I'm not familiar with you. Do you understand?"
"I understand. You can go now. I'll just think of Xiang Yuxiu as coming to see me." Wan Xuetang closed his eyes and had no intention of continuing speaking.
"Well, take good care of yourself. Live one day at a time."
Zhong Yuxiu stood up indifferently, said something before leaving, walked to the door, opened it and walked out of the house; Gu Lingguo immediately came to greet her, "Comrade Zhong."
"Let's go back." Zhong Yuxiu said lightly, without saying a word to Wan Yuning, she led Gu Lingguo away.
When Wan Yuning came back with the bowl of porridge, only Wan Xuetang was left in the room, lying on the bed. "Dad, where's Yuxiu?"
Wan Xuetang opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Wan Yuning was so anxious he didn't know what to do. "Dad, don't cry. Why did Yuxiu leave? Didn't you keep her to talk for a while?"
Wan Xuetang picked up the pillowcase next to him and wiped his tears, then threw it aside.
"Yuxiu is busy with work."
Wan Yuning said, "Now that we're here, there's no need to rush no matter how busy we are."
"I'm glad that Yuxiu can come and see me." Wan Xuetang smiled. "Yuxiu is still the same kind-hearted child as before!"
Even if this is not his daughter, he still has good intentions, otherwise, he would not come to see him off for the last time.
"Dad, Yuxiu has changed so much. If she didn't still look the same, I wouldn't have recognized her." It felt like her soul had changed. Her temperament was so good. She wasn't very good-looking, but her temperament made it impossible to ignore her. She was the focus wherever she went.
Some people in this world become the center of attention with their looks, while others exude a temperament from the inside out, and can overwhelm everyone without saying a word.
External beauty is not as good as bone beauty, nothing more than this.
Wan Xuetang slowly shook his head. "No matter how she changes, she's still her. Don't overthink it. Yuxiu has no ill will towards us. This is the best outcome. After I'm gone, you should visit Yuxiu often. Your brother-sister relationship won't be restored to what it was before, but you'll have another relative to visit. We don't have any real relatives in the Wan family anymore. Once I'm gone, you'll be all alone. Actually, being alone is not bad either. Get a wife and have a child, and you'll have a family too."
"You are in your early thirties this year, it's time for you to get married; our family is not prosperous, you have to carry on the legacy." She was afraid that her son would have the idea of living alone for the rest of his life, which would be terrible.
Wan Yuning held the bowl of porridge in front of him and said, "Stop talking about this. Eat something to fill your stomach."
"No, I don't have any regrets after meeting Yuxiu." Wan Xuetang smiled, a look of relief in his smile. "Go to the room opposite where the books are kept and move the bookshelf on the left. Look for the empty space on the wall. There's a wooden box inside. Bring it to me."
"dad......."
"Go and get it." Wan Xuetang said.
Wan Yuning put down the bowl of porridge, looked back every step of the way and walked to the opposite house; Wan Xuetang's words sounded like the last words of a dying person.
"What are you looking at? Go get it." Wan Xuetang said impatiently.
Despite his concerns, Wan Yuning went to the opposite side and removed the bookshelf on the left. The wall looked intact, but having been born into the Wan family, he wouldn't simply assume it was a wall. He knocked left and right, and indeed, at head height, he struck a hollow brick. The sound inside was completely different from the previous knocks.
You can tell there's something inside just by the sound.
After searching over and over again, he found a place on the wall that was slightly different from the other tiles. After pressing it down, a crack appeared on it. The gap was not big, only wide enough for a hand. He reached in and pushed the wall upwards, revealing the wooden box that Wan Xuetang mentioned.
A black wooden box, with paint peeling in some places.
Wan Yuning took out the box and returned to Wan Xuetang's bedside. Wan Xuetang was resting with his eyes closed. He was shocked and shouted, "Dad!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Wan Xuetang opened his eyes, his breathing seemed much calmer than before. "Did you bring the box?"
Wan Yuning placed the box in front of him. Wan Xuetang raised his hand to take it and pushed open the thin lid. There were a lot of papers and keys inside.
"Dad, what do you want these for?" The box should contain my father's family fortune.
Wan Xuetang said, "These are all for you and Yuxiu. One wrong step led to another. Who could have imagined that Wan Yutong was such a heartless ungrateful person? We have had a man who has let down our ancestors for generations. After I die, don't give anything to Wan Yutong. She's grown up and can support herself. My things will only be left to you and Yuxiu."
"This box contains the land deeds and property deeds that our family later received as compensation, as well as the bank stub and keys from the Swiss bank. I previously kept a small deposit in the Swiss bank, over $200,000, and some gold and silver jewelry."
"Two hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand for your starting fund. After I die, you can go into business. I'll leave you with a ruined Wan family, and I'll rely on you to restore it to its former glory. Of the remaining one hundred thousand dollars, fifty thousand will go to Yuxiu, and the other fifty thousand to her three children."
"Yuxiu gave birth to three children in a row, and I haven't seen them yet. I'll just leave them with a little memory."
"As for the gold and silver jewelry, you and Yuxiu will split it. The house deeds and land deeds are for you. There is also a secret room under this mansion. A few years ago, I thought it was lost, but when I came back, I found that the secret room had not been touched or found. It is full of antiques and calligraphy and paintings. You and Yuxiu will split it equally. This is all our family assets."
