Cat O, But Traveling Into The Normal World Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Blessings I wish you happiness forever

Su Qiuling downstairs looked sad: “I also understand Jiang Xunzhou’s starting point for doing this. His brother plays a leading role in the group and really needs help, but he still can’t help but feel uncomfortable. Jun Ran and I have always agreed on one truth – money can’t be earned, and parents can only accompany you for a small part of life. It’s best to have someone around you who understands both cold and hot, and cares about each other.”

Then he sighed sadly: “I didn’t expect that he still regarded feelings as a bargaining chip for profit. If his father and I hadn’t been too gullible in trusting his two uncles, we wouldn’t be in today’s situation.”

Yu You didn’t expect that the contract that had been put into the shredder would reappear in front of Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran, making them restless.

Then Jiang Xunzhou is now being questioned about the contract?

Su Qiuling muttered: “I didn’t expect that Xunzhou acted so realistically and deceived both me and his father…”

“Auntie, we did get together because of the contract at the beginning.” Yu You hurriedly explained, “But it’s not the case now. We have officially confirmed our relationship, so the contract is void.”

Su Qiuling asked doubtfully: “Isn’t it because the old man gave you the group shares as an engagement gift, so the contract has ended?”

“No, no, the old man also wrote down the conditions when he signed the gift agreement. If we separate, the agreement will be over…”

Yu You had a flash of idea and became nervous: “Auntie, if only one copy is sent to you, will other copies be sent to the old man?”

The contract signed at the beginning was in duplicate. If one of them is delivered here, then the other…

Su Qiuling let out a soft sigh, and suddenly remembered: “The old man just came back from the resort where he was on vacation today…”

Yu You couldn’t sit still after hearing this, and wanted to go up to find Jiang Xunzhou, when the two people upstairs came out of the study.

Jiang Junran, who was walking in front, had a solemn look on his face. He walked downstairs quickly and said hurriedly: “Qiuling, we have to go to the old man’s place now.”

Su Qiuling stood up: “Does the old man also know about the contract?”

“I don’t know.” Jiang Junran said in a deep voice, “But the old man suddenly fell seriously ill and was rescued. He just woke up, but the situation is still not good. Tell us all to go there.”

Yu You’s heart felt like it was being grabbed by a giant hand, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Xunzhou.

Jiang Xunzhou’s eyebrows were furrowed, his jaw was tense and sharp, and he was extremely nervous and solemn.

The four of them got into the car and headed to the private hospital. They notified Jiang Qingyan on the way, and Jiang Qingyan rushed back immediately.

Jiang Junran kept making phone calls to learn about the situation there.

Yu You sat next to Jiang Xunzhou, holding his palm with a hint of worry in his eyes.

“I’m fine.” Jiang Xunzhou whispered, “Last time at the birthday party, the old man told me in private chat that his health was good and bad. I… was prepared.”

After saying this, his broad palm tightly grasped Yu You’s palm, as if trying to draw a little strength.

A trace of annoyance flashed across Jiang Xunzhou’s expression: “The servants at home clean it once a week and are not allowed to enter the study. The shredder is thoroughly processed by a dedicated person for half a month. I don’t know which part went wrong. The shredded contract was taken away before cleaning. My uncle is not free. This matter should be arranged by my second uncle. I just hope now… that the old man has not received another contract.”

Yu You said seriously: “It doesn’t matter if you received it. We can explain it. I will accompany you and explain it clearly to the old man.”

Jiang Xunzhou hummed in a low voice, but the expression on his face seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, dark and solemn.

The atmosphere in the vehicle was depressing and stagnant as it sped along and arrived at the entrance of the private hospital.

The assistant who responded told Jiang Junran the news in a very low voice: “…The morning was fine. The old man was pruning branches in the garden…he came here with the documents…the old man got angry, had a quarrel, and became ill…the doctor said it might be these two days, so be prepared…”

Jiang Xunzhou heard his second uncle’s name during the conversation, and his heart became heavier.

The entire corridor has been sealed off, and bodyguards are guarding the doors. Many people from the Jiang family are already standing in the VIP ward. The second uncle is also here, looking decadent and frustrated. The usual team of lawyers has also arrived. The medical machine at the bedside is humming, and there is a cold mechanical beeping sound.

The old man was lying on the hospital bed, his chest rising and falling with difficulty. Hearing the movement of the door, he slowly opened his eyes and said, “Are you here?”

Jiang Junran strode to the bed, leaned over and called dad, his voice trembling, and he squeezed his hands tightly on the edge of the bed.

The old man forced a smile, clapped his fist, and turned to the lawyer next to him: “…Since we are almost here, let’s read the will.”

The will was notarized in advance, and the lawyer read it carefully according to the document.

In a long list, Yu You heard that the Hot Spring Villa had recorded his name. He was in a daze. He looked up and saw Mr. Jiang’s gentle gaze. The tip of his nose suddenly felt sore.

An unknown junior sniffed, and then a low cry filled the ward.

Mr. Jiang’s tone contained a weak smile: “I’m still here, why are you crying?”

He waved out again: “You all go out, I’ll have a few words with this kid Xun Zhou.”

Others walked out one after another. Yu Youben also wanted to go out, but the old man stopped him and stayed together.

Jiang Xunzhou held the old man’s deadwood-like hand and said with difficulty: “Do you already know?”

The old man smiled and said: “What do you know? Do you know that your relationship with this kid Xiao Yu was fake from the beginning?”

Yu You’s heart tightened, feeling ashamed for deceiving the old man in front of him.

The old man really knew.

Jiang Xunzhou’s expression also became heavy, and he apologized in a low voice: “I’m sorry, I…”

“There’s no need to apologize. I already knew about this.”

The old man sighed: “Your brother-in-law came to the door this morning with a contract, but I didn’t take it seriously. I advised him to be honest and responsible in the future and not to engage in such small tricks – he has some small thoughts, but those calculations are all on the surface, unlike your second uncle, who can do things like car accidents and kidnappings in private. Your brother-in-law is unwilling to listen, which makes me angry, ugh…”

Jiang Xunzhou was stunned: “You already knew that we were not real?”

Mr. Jiang seemed to be quite amused. He smiled and spoke with strength: “Yes, I knew it from the beginning.”

Yu You was also stunned.

Then the old man knew full well from the beginning that the scenes he and Jiang Xunzhou played were all fake?

“I’ve watched you grow up. Do I still know what plans you have in mind?”

The old man coughed twice and continued to speak slowly: “Even if there is that contract, even if it is fake from the beginning, I know that Xiao Yu is different to you.”

He cheerfully extended his hand to Yu You, who quickly stood a few steps closer and held the old man’s hand.

The old man put their hands together, patted them, and said warmly: “There are so many people in this world that you can choose as a contract partner, why don’t you choose someone else but Xiao Yu? This question shows from the beginning that he is different in your eyes. Besides…”

His tone became meaningful: “The day you brought Xiao Yu to see me, I knew that it was only a matter of time before you two got together. If you like someone, you can pretend it with words, but you can’t pretend it with your eyes. You can’t understand it yourself. I, an old man who is about to step into the coffin with half a foot, am not blind yet, so I can see clearly.”

“Xiao Yu, on the other hand, obviously doesn’t mean anything to you, but relationships are all about fate. Maybe it can happen by some combination of circumstances? I’ll just pretend not to know anything and see what happens to you later.”

Yu You was embarrassed by the teasing, and stuttered: “You, you can even see this. At that time, I really didn’t have any intention of that, I just regarded it as a job…”

Then he quickly said: “But that was all in the past. We have already determined that we are related, so that’s why we abolished that document.”

“I know. I laughed when I saw the document made up of scraps of paper. I knew it was really settled that you two would be together.”

The old man turned to teasing Jiang Xunzhou: “Who said that he may never find anyone he likes in his life, and he will die alone with his work?”

Jiang Xunzhou said awkwardly: “I was too young at that time and didn’t think I would fall in love with anyone, but fortunately, it’s not too late when I realize what it means to like someone later.”

“Love and marriage are not necessary choices in life, but if you have someone to grow old with, it will be a very happy thing.”

The old man clapped their hands and smiled with emotion: “You two are good children. I wish you a good life and happiness forever.”

Jiang Xunzhou’s eyes were red: “Don’t make it sound like a farewell. Maybe there will be a near miss this time.”

“How can I still know about my own body?” The old man sneered, “Besides, my old lady has been waiting for me down there for a long time. It’s time for me to go find her. You have your happiness, and I have mine.”

Yu You and Jiang Xunzhou were kicked out of the ward, and Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran went in to talk to the old man.

In the corridor, the clear and transparent windows reflected the blue sky outside. The sunlight was slanting and shining, making the whole world golden. The green shade of the trees swayed with the wind and rustled softly.

The two stood side by side, staring at the shadows of the trees outside the window, their heavy hearts still unable to ease.

After a moment, Yu You turned to look at Jiang Xunzhou, held his hand, and solemnly said: “Husband, I wish us eternal happiness.”

Jiang Xunzhou understood what he meant, tightened the strength of his two hands, and promised in a low voice: “We will do it.”
