The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 43: Dividing the Family Property (3)

Gu Chi was very unhappy. To put it bluntly, his elder brother's family and their descendants would have more property than his family in the future. However, his elder brother had no objection, and he and Shu Fen did not dare to object. He knew the old man's temper. If they really offended him, given his advanced age, they would not be able to bear the consequences if something happened. Besides, he had been afraid of these two people since he was a child, so he did not dare to say anything more.

Finally, Gu Jianguo said that Yunshu's share would be temporarily managed by someone sent by Gu Cheng, and would be given to Yunshu after she gave birth. Also, the share that Yunshu's grandmother had given her before would be given to her.

Gu Jianguo was worried that they might have objections to the family property in the future, so he asked Uncle De to bring out the family property distribution agreement that had been prepared in advance. The contents of the agreement were basically what Gu Jianguo had said before, and then he asked Gu Cheng, Gu Chi and Yun Shu to sign it.

Gu Cheng and Gu Chi had already signed the agreement, but Yun Shu stood there motionless.

"Ah Shu, come over and sign." Gu Jianguo looked at Yun Shu, who was still standing there, and knew what she was thinking. She must be thinking that if possible, she didn't want the Gu family's property and wanted to get far away from the Gu family. But he wouldn't give her the chance to escape.

"You have no right and no choice. From the moment you entered the Gu family and stayed here, you should have known that the Gu family is not an ordinary family. The Gu family has been in business for generations, accumulating a small fortune. It was only in Acheng's generation that they started working in the military. You will definitely not lose out on your share of the Gu family's assets. You just need to have another child. It's not like you're staying at home. The child will grow up with you, but will take the Gu family name and inherit the Gu family business when they grow up. Wouldn't it be better if this child had to work much less hard than others in their future career?"

"Grandpa makes it sound so easy. Nowadays, families have fewer children. Which family would be willing to give away their child, especially a boy, to another family? What if I can't get married then?" Yun Shu still refused, finding various reasons to avoid the issue. It had nothing to do with having children; she just didn't want to stay in the Gu family, nor did she want to bear children.

"Don't worry, whether it's within three years or after three years, if you can't get married, Grandpa will arrange it for you. You don't need to worry about it," Gu Cheng said after taking a sip of tea. Only this granddaughter was not afraid of his authority and dared to negotiate with him. He wasn't angry and just wanted to see what other opinions she had.

Yun Shu shook her head after hearing this. "No, Grandpa, if I marry the person I choose within three years or after three years, and if I don't want to have children for the Gu family, then can I not abide by this agreement? I don't want the property, and my future son doesn't have to go to the Gu family."

"...Well...Grandpa gave you two choices. It's up to you whether you agree or not! If you don't keep your promise, you won't get this inheritance, and you won't even get the share your grandma gave you that your dad is managing now!" Thinking that the Sheng family said they would hold the wedding for the two children at the end of October, he wasn't afraid that Yun Shu wouldn't agree. This was just a bluff to coax Yun Shu into agreeing to leave one child at home.

"I have one more request!"

"Tell me everything at once!"

"I'm going to find my own husband within these three years!" Yun Shu said without any shame. She couldn't back down when it came to her life's most important matter. She had no plans to get married in the next three years, but she also couldn't accept them constantly introducing random people to her, especially not an engagement to the Sheng family like in her previous life. She would choose her own husband and not care about the Gu family's wealth. That way, she and Ming Kun wouldn't be bound by them, and whenever they got married and had children, it would be none of the Gu family's business.

"No way! If you end up with a lousy man, it will ruin your life!" Gu Cheng immediately objected.

"Dad, are you talking about Mom?!" Gu Cheng immediately fell silent when Yun Shu mentioned her mother. Indeed, he had lied to Yun Shu's mother, saying he would come back to pick her up, but he didn't. So when Yun Shu questioned him, he was ashamed and speechless.

"Yunshu, you're not allowed to talk to your father like that. There was a misunderstanding back then; your father didn't know your mother gave birth to you... Alright, let's not dwell on those old stories anymore. Come over and sign the papers. You can find someone yourself, as long as it's not too bad, we'll agree. Don't worry! We'll be worried if you don't get married!"

Yun Shu was still hesitant. She was still thinking about the two options her grandfather had mentioned: if she didn't want the family fortune, she would be very free and could marry whenever she wanted, and she could find her own husband. If she wanted the family fortune, she couldn't get married within three years, so they would help introduce her to someone, and she would have a son to give to the Gu family.

The choice between these two options lay in whether she wanted the family fortune. They tried to tempt her with the family wealth, but she wasn't greedy. Aside from the house her grandmother had given her and the jewelry her grandmother had secretly given her, Yun Shu didn't want anything from the Gu family. Although she had heard the Gu family was very wealthy.

"Yunshu, sign it. Dad promises to move your mother's memorial tablet to the Gu family ancestral hall and write it into the family genealogy!" Gu Cheng said when he saw that Yunshu was still hesitating. This was what Yunshu's uncle told him when he took Yunshu to the Gu family.

"What, Gu Cheng, are you crazy! I don't agree!" After all these years, this man still can't let go of that woman!

"You disagree? Just because you blocked Yun Shu's mother's letters one by one back then, you have no right to disagree. If you hadn't insisted on marrying me back then, perhaps my wife today wouldn't be you. Besides, Yun Shu is my biological daughter, but it's not enough that she can only be an adopted daughter!"

"You...you're still blaming what happened back then!" Li Meng burst into tears after saying that. She was such a failure as a person, especially as Gu Cheng's wife. More than 20 years had passed, and he still couldn't forget his first love, blaming everything on her.

Gu Jianguo nodded after listening. His great-grandmother's maternal grandmother couldn't be denied entry into the Gu family's ancestral hall after her death, so that no one could use it against her in the future.

Yun Shu thought of the letter her mother left her, in which she wrote that her mother had been obsessed with Gu Cheng all her life, and that after enduring the torment of not receiving a reply to her letters, such a proud person finally passed away in disappointment. Now that she could be enshrined in the Gu family ancestral hall and included in the family genealogy, it was tantamount to indirectly acknowledging that she was Gu Cheng's wife. This was good, at least it could finally fulfill her long-cherished wish.

So Yun Shu reluctantly went to read the agreement. Sure enough, there were two options. She couldn't help but think that her grandfather was indeed a cunning old fox, the most capable of seeing through and scheming against people.

As Yun Shu signed the document, the matter was settled, and no one dared to utter a word of objection.
