Seeing that she finally signed the contract, the old man patted the back of her hand in relief, and pointed tremblingly at the remaining contract in the document bag.

"Good boy... sign the other copy too... Grandpa can't give you much, I hope you don't blame grandpa."

The thin paper seemed to be worth a thousand gold, Gu Xiaoman shook his head with trembling hands, "No, Grandpa, I can't take these. I'm no longer a child of the Gu family, so I can't take yours..."

The old man panted a few times, put his dry hand on the back of her hand, and moved feebly.

"These have nothing to do with the Gu family... Grandpa wanted to leave it to his granddaughter, and grandpa prepared it for you personally... Obedient, sign it."

Gu Xiaoman still wanted to refuse, but when she met the old man's expectant eyes, she pursed her lips tightly, and finally signed the contract.

Putting the file bag on the table casually, Gu Xiaoman couldn't stop the tears in his eyes from falling down.

Seeing the old man's lips moving, she leaned closer and heard the old man murmuring unconsciously: "Son, don't blame me... Grandpa can only do so much for you... Grandpa is sorry for your mother... Back then, if I hadn't Obsessed with money..."

The old man's voice became lower and lower, Gu Xiaoman's tears kept falling, she held the old man's hand tightly, choked up and said, "Grandpa, I don't blame you, I don't blame you..."

The old man didn't seem to hear her, and kept talking to himself: "The Gu family is sorry for her...it's because I didn't educate Ji Yuan well..."

Feeling the temperature of the old man's palm getting lower and lower, Gu Xiaoman's tears flowed down like a reservoir with an open valve.

The old man's voice could no longer be heard in her ears. She held the old man's hand tightly, not daring to sniff him, and always held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

The machine next to the hospital bed suddenly made a continuous and sharp beeping sound, Gu Xiaoman seemed not aware of it, and burst into tears.

Her heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible palm, and the pain made her want to cry out in pain. When she opened her mouth, only one sentence remained: "Grandpa..."

The old man who took over from her mother and loved her so much also left. Since then, there is no elder who loves her in this world anymore.

In the years to come, when she was cold and hungry, no one would tell her to add clothes or eat on time, and they would always worry about her.

From now on, she has nowhere to go, only the way home.

Gu Xiaoman sat stiffly on the spot, as if someone had suddenly pulled out the house and was exposed to the air, sad and bewildered.

The doctor came in a hurry and put his hand between the old man's nose, the old man was not breathing.

He couldn't bear to look at Gu Xiaoman, looked down at the time, and silently turned off the machine.

The buzzing sound suddenly disappeared, Gu Xiaoman looked up at the doctor blankly, "Why did you turn it off? Grandpa doesn't use the machine yet?"

She looked at the doctor persistently, tears rolling down her face.

The sadness in her eyes was too heavy, the doctor didn't dare to look at her again, turned his head with red eyes, trying to soften his voice as much as possible.

"Miss Gu, the patient has no vital signs."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and approached the nurse, whispering, "Time of death: 10:53 am."

His voice was extremely low, but in Gu Xiaoman's ears, it seemed to be magnified countless times, every word was like a huge hammer, hitting her heart one after another, causing her to arch her back in pain.

The old man's hand became stiff little by little, Gu Xiaoman carefully put down his hand, and gently pulled the sleeve on his forearm for him.

She looked straight at the hospital bed, peacefully like a sleeping old man, wiped away her tears, supported the bed with her hands, and struggled to stand up.

Suddenly there was a loud door opening sound behind her, followed by the sound of messy footsteps. The next second, Gu Xiaoman was suddenly pushed by someone. She staggered and reached out to hold the table.

"Dad... woo woo woo woo woo..."

Chu Mei lay in front of Mr. Gu's bed, crying and crying.

"Meier, be careful with your body."

Gu Jiyuan didn't even look at the old man, and carefully supported Chu Mei to sit down on the chair.

Gu Xiaoman looked at the expressionless Gu Jiyuan coldly, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

She took a deep look at the old man, carefully put the file bag into her bag, and turned to the doctor to ask how to deal with the follow-up matters.

"Woooooo...Dad, your grandson hasn't been born yet, why are you... woooooo..."

"Why don't you have the heart to see us for the last time... Huh... Is it because of that bastard..."

Gu Xiaoman paused, lowered his eyes and closed the door, blocking Chu Mei's false crying.

She took a deep breath, wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand, and walked towards the doctor's office with heavy steps.

As soon as she walked into the living room, Gu Yunshi's weak voice rang in her ears.

"You don't even let Dad see the old man for the last time, Gu Xiaoman, you are really scheming to the extreme!"

Gu Xiaoman lowered his eyes, looking expressionlessly at Gu Yunshi who was almost slumped in a wheelchair, his voice was cold and without any warmth.

"I advise you not to spend all your time on me, and think about your future."

As she spoke, she curled her lips sarcastically, and said tauntingly: "What a coincidence, your child is gone, but Aunt Chu has one. It looks like it's still a boy?"

"Gu Xiaoman!"

Gu Yunshi stared at Gu Xiaoman jealously, grabbed the cup and threw it towards her.

Gu Xiaoman dodged sideways, and his bright eyes fell on her, "We had no personal relationship before, so don't provoke me from now on, so we can do it ourselves!"

"Miss Xiaoman, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Gu Xiaoman was about to leave, the strange man who had been sitting on the sofa and watching hurriedly called her to stop.

Gu Xiaoman turned his head and looked at the man suspiciously.

"I am Mr. Gu's personal lawyer. Entrusted by Mr. Fu, I will read the will half an hour after his death."

"Now? Here?"

Gu Xiaoman opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in astonishment.

Grandpa just passed away, and the funeral has not yet been dealt with. Why are you so anxious to read the will?
Seeing her doubts, the lawyer's steady voice sounded again: "Mr. Gu specially ordered that Miss Xiaoman must be present when the will is read out."

Gu Xiaoman clenched the bag subconsciously, pursed his lips and sat down on the single sofa.

Grandpa has already terminated the agreement with her, and in the ward, he has already forced her to sign the gift agreement, why must she be present when the will is read out?
Seeing Gu Xiaoman sitting down, Gu Yunshi slammed down the pillow in hatred, unable to control the jealousy and viciousness surging in her heart.

"Who are you pretending to be surprised for?! In fact, I'm so happy that I'm going crazy. Grandpa still misses you as a bastard until he dies!"

Before Gu Xiaoman could speak, the lawyer sitting opposite Gu Yunshi suddenly spoke up.

"Miss Gu, I personally suggest that you should be more polite to Miss Xiaoman."
