“Dad, how can you say that to Qingxin? She is already so upset by the inheritance news. Can you stop rubbing salt on her wound?”
Gu Yanbai looked at Gu Yancheng, and sighed. When Lu Jijun was alive in the past, he was happy to see this marriage happen.
The friendship between him and Lu Jijun lasted for more than ten years, so if they can become in-laws, it would be a great matter.
It’s just that…
When Lu Jijun died, Lu Qingxin’s true colors immediately manifested.
Gu Yanbai knew first hand what the Gu family had gone through during their rise from nothing to what they have become today. He couldn’t let the Gu family be ruined in Gu Yancheng’s hands.
“I was just stating the facts. Qingxin is no longer a child. She should understand that in this world, there aren’t a lot of things that can be taken for granted. This includes you, Gu Yancheng. If you have the means, then you wouldn’t need anything from the Gu family. If you don’t have the means and capabilities, then you will squander whatever wealth I place in your hands.”
Gu Yanbai stood up, readjusted his clothes calmly, and said, “Gu Yancheng, if you don’t want to go to Capital University, then you can go to university abroad.”
“Dad, I won’t go abroad.”
Gu Yancheng felt sorry for Lu Qingxin. This was the time when Lu Qingxin needed his care and affection the most. There was no way he was willing to abandon her so easily.
“You want to stay?”
Gu Yanbai pointed at his cuff slightly.
Gu Yancheng nodded. “Yes.”
“Then please remember, you’re a student now.”
After Gu Yanbai finished speaking, he walked away in big strides. Lu Qingxing stared at Gu Yanbai’s back as he left, and suddenly a phrase popped into her mind.
“Friendships die with people.”
How soon had it been after Lu Jijun passed away? Yet his best friend was already indifferent towards her.
“Brother Yancheng, does Uncle dislike me now? I just want my father’s assets. I just feel like being…”
“I understand, Qingxin.”
While Gu Yancheng coaxed Lu Qingxin, the servant at home quietly glanced at the two of them, then silently went out to make a phone call.
“Brother Yancheng, I’ve lost everything. I can’t lose you as well.”
…
…
“Ye, what do you think Lu Jijun was thinking?”
After exiting the funeral home, Ye Tianxin couldn’t stop thinking about Lu Jijun’s intentions. Why would he write such a will?
No wonder Lu Qingxin lost it. The will probably a affected her negatively, and even more than she showed.
Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s delicate and tender hand, and he whispered, “Tianxin, instead of worrying about why Lu Jijun wrote such a will, we should investigate Gu Yanbai and Tao Weiban.”
“Do you have your suspicions?”
“I suspect that those two people might have had something to do with the incident back then. There was no way that Lu Jijun could have convinced so many people to fake their testimonies. So someone else must have been involved in this. We have to investigate and find out who’s behind the fake will.”
Ye Tianxin sighed faintly. “Ye, you say, why were my parents so unlucky? It was just a normal relationship between a young man and a woman. How could they be deliberately separated for so many years? And where is my mother now? Seeing how affectionate my dad was to my mother, I feel scared…”
“What are you afraid of?” Li Qingcang’s thumb gently stroked Ye Tianxin’s eyebrows. “Silly Tianxin, you should believe in your parents, believe that there was true love between them, and believe that no matter how much time has passed, no matter how the places have changed, they still love each other until the day fate brings them together again…”
