Faced with my doubts, Zhou Chenming gave a very certain answer.

“There’s no mistake, how could there be a mistake in this matter? I am a professional lawyer, you should trust my professional integrity!”

“If I remember correctly, Gu Yuanzhou also has an aunt, and she is the lawful heir.”

“Logically, yes, but his aunt became a nun. I’ve talked to her as well; she doesn’t accept any property and just wants us to hand over Gu Yuanzhou’s ashes to her.”

I was still hesitating…

I felt like this inheritance was a kind of endowment.

It was deliberately left to me by Gu Yuanzhou, with the purpose of making me remember him for a lifetime.

I actually didn’t want it.

But Zhou Chenming persuaded me, saying,

“The compensation for the victims has already been settled. If you don’t want these assets, they will be confiscated by the state.”

“It doesn’t matter, just let them confiscate it then.”

“But you need to think this through. Included here is Maple Mansion, Zhenyi Company, shares in Huaxin Group, and that old house of the Song Family. Do you really not want them? If you don’t, they will be taken over by others.”

This reminder from Zhou Chenming instantly sobered me up.

Yeah, why wouldn’t I want them?

Zhenyi Company and the Maple Mansion, along with most of the assets, were post-marital property shared between me and Gu Yuanzhou.

He’s gone now, and these originally should be inherited by me.

What’s more, Huaxin Group and the Song Mansion are both properties of the Song Family; only if they come into my hands can I return them to my aunt.

With this in mind, I signed my name on the documents without any hesitation.

After the signature, Zhou Chenming finally let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

“The task is finally completed! It’s a great success! In a few days, some legal documents will be sent to you by mail.”

“Oh, okay!”

Zhou Chenming packed up the documents and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around to look at me.

“Gu Yuanzhou’s ashes will be sent to his aunt at the temple; do you want to attend the funeral?”

“No!”

I refused him coldly.

Zhou Chenming shook his head and sighed before finally leaving.

A couple of days passed, and the documents from Zhou Chenming slowly arrived…

Including some property deeds, share certificates, various asset proofs, and so on.

I currently don’t have the energy to take over Zhenyi Company and have locked all of these documents away in a drawer.

Over the weekend, it was Jian Jing’s daughter’s one-month celebration.

Wenya and I attended together.

Perhaps because she had given birth to a daughter, Jian Jing’s in-laws did not seem very pleased.

While accepting blessings from the guests, the old lady kept emphasizing,

“Alas, it’s a girl, a loss-making commodity!”

Jian Jing bowed her head to sip her soup, not uttering a word.

Wenya couldn’t help but become annoyed,

“Dammit, she’s a woman herself; why does she look down on girls? Isn’t she a loss-making commodity herself? Really, why must women make life difficult for one another.”

I stopped her and glanced at Jian Jing.

Sitting beside us, Jian Jing didn’t speak, but her eyes were full of despair.

Wenya then let out a helpless sigh.

Indeed, during this period, Jian Jing had suffered a lot, spending a whole month in the postnatal care center.

No one from my husband’s family came to visit, and even after I returned home, my mother-in-law mocked and ridiculed me,

“It’s just being pretentious. Back in our day, we could work in the fields right after giving birth. Nowadays, young people need someone to take care of them even when they are doing their postpartum confinement…”

Wenya couldn’t bear it anymore and confronted her on the spot,

“Pah! You married a good-for-nothing man, and look how smug you are. If he had any compassion, would he let you suffer?”

The mother-in-law, even more upset after hearing this, pointed at Wenya and said,

“How come young people these days lack manners so much?”

Wenya also shot her a disdainful glance,

“Your quality as an old lady is declining as well.”

The old lady got even more upset upon hearing this. Because she knew a bit about Wenya, who often hung out with Jian Jing, she went straight for Wenya’s sore spot.

“Look at you, at your age still not married—it’s because of your bad temperament. Lack of manners and not knowing how to respect the old and love the young, that’s why you’ve become an old maid.”

Wenya laughed out of anger,

“Who said I’m an old maid?”

“You’re at the age to get married; if you’re not married, you are a leftover woman!!”

“Well, by your logic, you’re also at the age to pass away. Why don’t you just die then?”

Wenya was quick-witted and left the old lady speechless and stunned.

The old lady had likely never encountered such a formidable opponent; her face went red with anger, and she was left gaping without knowing how to respond.

“You…”

Wenya raised her chin defiantly,

“Old lady, you’d better watch your mouth and accumulate some virtue. So many relatives came today, and all you talk about is having boys. Do you want all the relatives to know that you’re dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law, that you plan to mistreat her?”

Although the old lady harbored such thoughts, they were the kind that had to remain hidden and unsaid.

If all the relatives came to know of this, wouldn’t they point at her backbone and curse her?

“That’s not true. My daughter-in-law gave birth to a child of the Yu family, how could I mistreat her? You, young girl, what nonsense are you spouting?”

“Really? Can you old lady truly stand by your words? Why do I feel like you’re lying?”

“I, I am not lying!”

“Good, then do you dare to swear in front of everyone that if you ever mistreat Jian Jing and her daughter, you’ll be struck by lightning and meet a terrible end?”

Wenya seized the opportunity to push further.

The old lady’s face turned pale with fright,

“No way, I can promise not to mistreat them, but I certainly can’t curse myself to die. What nonsensical things are you saying? I, as an elderly person, fear the word ‘death’ the most; don’t talk nonsense.”

“Hahaha, you’re afraid of dying! If you’re scared of death, better not do bad deeds, because heaven is watching from above, and the gods will punish you for doing too many bad things.”

“I’m not talking to you anymore, you disrespectful girl!”

The old lady, feeling guilty, didn’t dare to sit with Wenya anymore and quickly moved her bowl and chopsticks to another table.

I patted Wenya on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs up.

Wenya chuckled twice,

“Jian Jing, if this family isn’t willing to treat you well, just tell us.”

Jian Jing’s eyes searched the crowd for a long time, then she shook her head helplessly, “Okay, I will!”

Only then did Wenya notice that Yu Jiahang was missing from the crowd, so she asked Jian Jing, “Where’s your husband?”

“He said he had to work overtime! He doesn’t have time to come back today, but it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t like my daughter anyway.”

Jian Jing sighed deeply.

Wenya cursed several times, calling him a jerk…

But at this point, it seemed that cursing him had no effect anymore.

As soon as the full-month celebration ended and Wenya and I walked out of the banquet hall, Wenya’s cell phone rang.

After she answered the call, she turned to look at me, “Ayun, Su Peisheng just called. He said that Damaha has woken up.”
