In order to set up the construction company as soon as possible, Wan Yuning flew abroad that day, withdrew all the funds from the Swiss Bank and deposited them in a domestic bank; he brought gold and silver jewelry and other items back to the Wan family mansion, and before he could even take a breath, he called Zhong Yuxiu.
The person who answered the phone was not Zhong Yuxiu. Wan Yuning did not say his purpose. "Old man, I am Yuxiu's adopted brother. Please give her a message. Just tell her that the things have been found and ask her to come over when she can."
"I understand. I'll bring it there." Yan Guofeng agreed.
"Thanks."
After thanking him and hanging up the phone, Wan Yuning divided the money into two parts, and the gold and silver jewelry into two parts; he put them in two boxes, and converted the 100,000 US dollars into RMB and divided it into two deposit certificates and placed them in the boxes.
After receiving the notice, he did what he was supposed to do. That afternoon, he began contacting his old colleagues; those who were useful were retained, and those who were not were sent away. He did not want investment from those who stayed, he just wanted manpower to work.
The money exchanged for one hundred thousand US dollars is enough to support the development of a medium-sized company.
It is not yet time to seek financing.
On the other hand, Yan Rushan had already completed preparations for the IPO and only needed to find a suitable opportunity to officially go public; several companies with different business projects were merged to become branches.
When Zhong Yuxiu got home from get off work, Yan Guofeng relayed Wan Yuning's words to her verbatim. Yuxiu nodded slightly and said, "Grandpa, I understand. I'll make time to visit the Wan family in a few days to resolve this matter. We won't contact each other much later."
"As for the Wan family's affairs, it's not impossible if you are willing to accept them again. It all depends on what you think." The old man was not optimistic about getting in touch with the Wan family again. One of the father and son of the Wan family died, and the other was left, who also had a criminal record.
In short, if I can give up on you once, I can give up on you a second time. There is no if.
Regret, guilt, and shame are only temporary. Life is long, and who knows when you will give up next time.
Zhong Yuxiu understood and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. He's just an ordinary relative. At most, he can occasionally borrow the power of the Yan family. Don't mind. My status makes it difficult for me to show up. After all, the Wan family has raised me."
The feelings have faded, and there is not a trace of affection left. For the sake of the original owner, let Wan Yuning have an easier time.
After ignoring them for so many years, the Wan family should finally come to an end for what they did to the original owner; from now on, the Wan family will be even with both the original owner and her, Zhong Yuxiu.
Ordinary relatives have their own way of visiting each other, and at most they will exchange gifts during the New Year. After a few years, the relationship will only become weaker and weaker. By then, it will be normal to become estranged from the Wan family or even stop communicating with them.
"It's good that you understand this. As an old man, I'm just giving you a reminder." As for the rest, the younger generations will go their own way.
Five days later in the evening.
Zhong Yuxiu came back from the research institute and had dinner with her family. Yan Rushan drove Zhong Yuxiu to the Wan family first. It was dark when they arrived at the Wan family. Wan Yuning had already returned home and was cooking. When she heard the knock on the door, she dropped the food in the pot, walked quickly across the corridor, passed through the first courtyard, opened the front gate, and immediately saw Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan, who were still accompanied by the two guards.
"Yu, Yuxiu, you are here. Please come in and have a seat inside." Wan Yuning was extremely happy to see someone suddenly.
In comparison, Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan reacted very calmly and followed Wan Yuning into the yard. When they sat down in the main hall, Wan Yuning was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to break the current silence.
It was Zhong Yuxiu who noticed that the atmosphere was not right and spoke first, "We are here to get something and leave after we get it."
"So urgent? Why don't you stay for dinner?" Wan Yuning was a little at a loss when facing the person he felt guilty about.
"No need to eat, we ate here."
Wan Yuning felt a little disappointed and smiled bitterly, but he didn't show it on his face. "That's fine. I'm home alone and there's no one to cook. I'll go get the food right away. You guys sit down for a while."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhong Yuxiu was polite and courteous, but Wan Yuning felt even more painful. He didn't know that Zhong Yuxiu had become a different person. Facing her cold face, he couldn't help but think of the harmonious times before, when she would act coquettishly in front of him and call him brother in a soft and gentle voice.
However, things have changed and nothing exists anymore.
Wan Yuning's steps out were a little hurried, and he was still feeling nervous and uneasy; he had a premonition that they might not come again after this time.
He first went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, then went to the room to get the divided boxes; he opened the box and placed it in front of Zhong Yuxiu, and he sat down next to her.
"Your copy is in there, and so is Dad's list of deposits in the Swiss bank; you can check them out."
Zhong Yuxiu closed the box and said, "No need to count, these should all be yours."
"No, this is what Daddy said he would give you."
Wan Yuning was firm in his attitude and insisted that she take inventory; Zhong Yuxiu did not comment on this, but due to Wan Yuning's attitude, she still did a simple inventory.
"There are quite a few things, and they gave me more than I deserve. The list says there are five sets of gold and jade jewelry. If we divide them, I only get two, and there are three in it." Handing him the list, Zhong Yuxiu continued, "I won't ask for more."
"I won't keep it. You have three children. You can get a share after you get married."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head. "Either we split it in half, or I don't want any of it. I'll also return the antique calligraphy and paintings I collected."
"No," Wan Yuning hurriedly stopped him. "You have an extra set of gold and jade jewelry, and I have an extra set of gold jewelry. If you don't believe me, count them again. It's fair."
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the list again and found that, as he said, he had kept an extra set of gold jewelry; however, based on the value, Wan Yuning still lost money.
"Yuxiu, stop pushing it away. These are all I have. Just think of them as a reminder of what Dad left for you. What I have here is enough. Any more would just be a collection." As he spoke, he sighed, "You're different. You know the Yan family's background better than I do. When you go out, you'll have to wear something to show off. Things bought outside don't have the heritage after all. Wearing these old pieces will make you more elegant."
Jewelry is not just about being eye-catching or beautiful. It is not about how good eye-catching and novel jewelry is; rather, in many families with status and background, what is valued is the background of the wearer. People say that marriage requires a good match between the two families, and in fact, this is also necessary in mutual interactions.
"The Yan family does not need jewelry to decorate itself." The Yan family has come to this point thanks to the old man and Yan Hejun's solid military achievements, as well as the cultivation they have undergone over the years.
A sensible person will not embarrass himself in this regard.
As for those who are confused, there is no need to care about them.
Wan Yuning smiled and said, "Take it. I'm still unmarried at my age, and I don't know what my future will be like. There's no point in keeping it. You and your brother-in-law should live a good life, and raise your three children well. Who knows, we might even choose an heir from you in the future."
