Grandpa Tang didn't want to talk about these things. "Zheng-ge, you go back first. Grandpa has something to say to Yu-jie."
"Yes, Grandpa." When the eldest son gets angry, how many people can stand it?
Tang Ruozheng was also a little confused, but he still followed the old man's words and left.
Xie Yunyu followed Old Master Tang upstairs.
Only the family of three remained downstairs, grumbling quietly.
“Yu’er, Grandpa knows you don’t feel any sense of belonging to the Tang family.” Old Master Tang got straight to the point. “Those shares are compensation. At least the Tang family won’t decline under your brother’s control. Grandpa knows you don’t lack anything. I don’t expect you to help when the Tang family falls on hard times.”
"As you can see, the capital is full of talented people. The difference between us is something my Tang family can't compare to." Old Master Tang was already past the age of retirement and had come to terms with everything.
In other words, they couldn't let go of these younger generations and the glory of their family.
During the few days Xie Yunyu returned to the Tang family, she naturally learned who was truly sincere towards her.
"I have some connection with Grandpa Gu. I can't afford to protect the Tang family, but I can certainly protect you." His cloudy eyes held a sense of helplessness towards worldly affairs and a deep love for his granddaughter.
"Why is Grandpa so sure that Young Master Gu... can definitely do it?" Bei Chen and Nan Xie, Old Master Gu, Old Master Shen, and Old Master Tang were all comrades-in-arms in the past.
Since they were willing to swallow their pride and trouble Gu Nanyan, why wouldn't they be ashamed to go to the Shen family?
Grandpa Tang shook his head, not answering directly, "The waters of the capital are deep. Yu'er, I know you are different from ordinary children, but as an elder, I still hope that you can rely on us appropriately."
"The Gu family and the Shen family are ultimately different. I'd rather enter the ordinary gate of the Gu family than be the matriarch of the Shen family." The younger generation may not know these last fourteen characters, but who among the older generation doesn't know them?
Grandpa Tang picked up the tea beside him and drank it. The steam filled the air, and the aroma of the tea mingled with the scent of ink in the study.
Xie Yunyu's gaze towards Old Master Tang changed slightly. Before coming to the capital, her grandfather (Old Master Xie) had also told her this.
She didn't take it to heart; she had no interest in those scions of prominent families.
"Okay, Grandpa."
She came primarily to seek out one of the nine wonders of the capital—the medical wonder—and had no interest in the others.
"Go back and rest early."
"Grandpa, you should rest early too." Xie Yunyu lifted her foot and left, her tall and straight figure disappearing into the distance, her sky-blue Song-style jacket and skirt outlined with bamboo patterns in blue thread.
Grandpa Tang shook his head as he watched Xie Yunyu's departing figure.
Why didn't this child grow up in Tang's family?
With a son like this, what more could the Tang family ask for than prosperity?!
Gu Nanyan, whom everyone says is a gentle and refined young nobleman, actually said such things. This capital city is becoming more and more interesting.
Meanwhile, Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian went to Dexin Club for another small banquet.
Shen Beian was quite surprised by Gu Nanyan's behavior. After Gu Nanyan sat down, Shen Beian took advantage of her not being able to react and lay down on her lap. The car was long enough that although he couldn't stretch his legs out, the position wasn't too uncomfortable.
"So you can say those kinds of things too?" Shen Bei'an looked at her with a smile, liking her more and more the more he looked at her.
Gu Nanyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing his handsome features. "You can say whatever you want, no one present dared to say anything."
"They wouldn't dare to do it openly, but what about secretly?" Shen Bei'an continued.
They dare not openly admit it due to powerful forces, but who knows what they might say or plot behind the scenes?
Gu Nanyan seemed to find something amusing, "In private, I certainly wouldn't dare." He said with a hint of relief.
"With the Gu and Chen families behind you, when has Fifth Master Chen ever hesitated to do things?" The tone was relaxed and carefree, casual and nonchalant.
Shen Beian's lying position stiffened, but he showed almost no hesitation. "Looking back and forth? Ha, I'm only giving Old Master Tang some face. After all, we're comrades-in-arms. Aren't you afraid Old Master Gu will say something about you? When he talks about people, it's like Tang Sanzang chanting sutras. I don't want to listen to it."
With eyes closed, it seemed as if they were resting.
Only he himself knew how fast his heart was beating.
"Dad was worried about you too." Because Shen Bei'an and Gu Nan'an got married, Old Master Gu suddenly became a generation above Old Master Shen, and the two families tacitly agreed on how to address each other.
The younger generation can easily make changes, but it's too much trouble for the older generation to do so.
"Alright," Shen Bei'an feigned annoyance, "I'm exhausted from watching the show all night. Call me when we get there. Give me a rub on my head." He commanded without any politeness, using the same tone as the original owner of this body.
Gu Nanyan simply murmured "Mmm," and then gently massaged him with her cool, warm fingers.
Is she doubting herself?!
But nothing should happen in front of her.
Moreover, aside from the female lead, Shen Bei'an felt that the biggest difference between himself and the original owner was that the original owner was too pretentious. He himself had fought his way up from the family, and he took a portion of the family property and obediently became a lazy rich second-generation without causing trouble for his older sister.
However, because the original owner came from a wealthy family and was pampered, she didn't care at all.
What happened to her?
Seriously? That's so sensitive?
But what good is doubt?
Both the memories and this body belong to the original owner, so even if she has doubts, there's nothing she can do.
System!
Could God grant me one?
Any random system will do!
Don't leave me to fight this battle alone!
Just give me any clue!
Perhaps it was because Gu Nanyan's massage was too comfortable, or perhaps it was because he had been thinking too much these past few days and was a little tired, but Shen Bei'an actually fell asleep.
