Jiang Yilai had always respected him. Seeing his sincere gaze, she smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Gu Ming'en led her to the study and personally prepared some snacks for her.
"Lai Lai, I haven't seen Mom so happy in a long time. It's all thanks to you. You must be tired after spending the whole day with me. Have something to eat first."
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. This is all I should do."
Gu Ming'en laughed and said, "You should start calling him 'Uncle' now."
Jiang Yilai smiled and sat down, saying frankly, "Even now, I still find it a bit unbelievable that someone I once admired would become my own family member."
"Not only you, but I was also surprised, but I'm really happy."
"Did my uncle specifically ask me to come over? Is there something he wants to tell me?"
Gu Ming'en nodded, picked up a file folder from the table, and handed it over.
"After confirming your identity, I made a decision."
Jiang Yilai looked at him curiously, and Gu Ming'en continued, "I'm going to give you 20% of the Gu family's shares. This is what your mother deserved back then."
Jiang Yilai quickly waved her hand and pushed the file bag back.
“Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept these shares.”
"But you are a member of the Gu family."
“I am indeed a family person, but these things are not important to me. Finding you all has already made me very happy, and I am content to be able to see you often in the future.”
Back when Mei Yin came back, she tried every means to get into the head office and also tried every means to get shares. Gu Ming'en should have been more careful back then.
Faced with Jiang Yilai's refusal, he advised, "We owe you so much, just let me do my part."
Jiang Yilai smiled gently: "I understand what Uncle means, but what I have now is enough. Besides, I just recognized you and I'm already taking the shares. What will others think?"
When Gu Ming'en heard what she said, he realized that it did make sense.
"It was my oversight that I didn't think things through. Let's wait and see."
"Uncle, really, there's no need. These things would only be a burden to me. I don't want you to keep worrying about them. I came back because you are family, but I don't want anything."
I already have so much; to accept anything more would be too greedy. I only hope that we can stay in touch and help each other out when needed—that's enough.
In order to stop him from dwelling on the matter, Jiang Yilai had no choice but to make things clear.
Gu Ming'en looked at her with emotion, seeing in her the innocent and radiant shadow of her younger sister.
Gu Qiang, who was always considerate of others, was someone who should have been pampered like a princess, but ended up as an orphan, which is heartbreaking to think about.
He felt guilty, which is why he wanted to make up for everything he had done to Jiang Yilai.
However, after hearing her words, I deeply understood her feelings.
"I understand. I won't force it on you. If you need any help in the future, don't hesitate to ask me for it."
Jiang Yilai nodded: "I remember. I've kept in mind everything you all said to me."
Gu Ming'en's eyes reddened, and her nose tingled.
"That's good, Lai Lai, welcome back to the Gu family again."
Jiang Yilai smiled knowingly, feeling very excited that she had finally found her way home.
Du Yi, who overheard the two talking outside the door, breathed a long sigh of relief.
She was also worried that the Gu family would give all the shares to Jiang Yilai because they felt indebted to her, and judging from the content of their conversation just now, she would never accept that.
This couldn't be better for Du Yi.
