After returning to Kyoto, the first thing Gu Manman did was to transfer all the original property back to Li Jinze's name.
Because the money was not hers in the first place.
It was what Li Jinze gave to her, and now, she is just returning it all in full.
Not only that, she also sold her house in Kyoto.
Looking at the only 50 million left in the card, she felt a little reassured.
Although 50 million is not a lot in Kyoto, it is enough for her to buy a house.
However, she does not plan to buy in the city, but plans to buy a house in the countryside.
In the countryside, firstly, it is relatively clean, and secondly, it is not easy for Li Jinze to find it.
"Zi Chen, Zi Chen, where should we buy the house?"
Gu Manman tried to find out the opinions of the two children.
Li Zichen tilted his head and looked at her: "Mother, since we have returned to Kyoto, why don't we go back to the Li family? Why do we need to buy a new house? Don't we have a family?"
She paused and slowly tightened her palms.
"The Li family... We won't go back to the Li family for the time being. Can we find a quiet place to stay?"
Gu Zichen had long realized that something was wrong here: "Mommy, did you and Dad have a fight?"
She paused: "No, why should I quarrel with him? Don't worry, we didn't quarrel..."
He gently put his little hand on the back of her hand: "Is it because the Li family doesn't accept us?"
As early as this morning, when the Lebanese League wanted to rob them, he already knew the problem.
"Even if the Li family doesn't accept us, we still have a father! There's no way our father won't want us."
Li Zichen always believed in Li Jinze.
Listening to Li Zichen's words, Gu Manman thought of Li Jinze who was with another woman.
Thinking of this, her heart ached.
Looking at Gu Manman's red eyes, Li Zichen looked like a child who had made a mistake, lowering his head without saying a word.
Gu Zichen seemed to have made up his mind: "Mommy, no matter what you do, we will follow you."
"Mother, me too, since you want to leave here, let's leave here."
Li Zichen nodded.
Gu Manman nodded: "Yeah, okay."
She was looking at the house with her two children, and suddenly, a letter was mailed to Li Zichen's hand.
There is only a simple signature on it.
Lao Wang next door.
Li Zichen opened the envelope in confusion and found a long text inside.
Xiaochen next door, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I am a person without courage, so even when I am about to leave this world, I don’t have the courage to say goodbye to you.
I have a lot of things I want to say to you, but when the words come to my lips, I don’t know how to say them.
In this world, you are the only person who has given me so much warmth.
He is also the only person I, a fatherless and motherless orphan, miss.
After I leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the tea you made yourself. It's really a pity.
I'm stupid. You taught me how to make tea, but I never learned it.
By the way, if you receive this letter, go back to the mansion and have a look. I have a surprise for you.
...Handwritten by Lao Wang next door.
Looking at the letter in front of him, Li Zichen's eyes were wet.
He grabbed the envelope with trembling hands, and the envelope was also trembling.
"Lao Wang next door..."
Li Zichen suddenly put down the envelope in his hand and ran out.
Gu Zichen and Gu Manman behind them reacted and immediately chased after them.
The three of them took a taxi and headed straight to the mansion.
The big house, where there were usually many people in black, was empty. Compared with usual times, it was much less lively and energetic.
The flowers and plants in the big house have long since withered, leaving only residual branches.
It was all lifeless.
The cold wind blew by, blowing up the withered and yellow leaves on the ground, making people shiver.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Zichen's heart tightened. In addition to being nervous, he was also worried.
"Lao Wang next door..."
He muttered before rushing into the mansion again.
Gu Manman was a little dazed when faced with all this desolation.
Is this place the home of the person who has always taken care of Li Zichen?
Li Zichen rushed into the big house. It was desolate outside, but inside it was still the same as before, unchanged.
In the ancient mansion, there are still teapots and teacups on the coffee table, and all the furniture inside remains unchanged.
But the difference is that all the wealthy furniture and collectibles in the mansion have been emptied.
Suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of Li Zichen.
"Master, you are finally here!"
The man in black sighed, as if he had been waiting for Li Zichen for a long time.
What can be seen is that the suit on the man in black looks like it has not been changed for a long time. Moreover, the suit is broken everywhere, and it seems that it has been torn apart maliciously.
The face of the man in black was also stained, and the many wounds and scratches looked shocking, as if he had experienced a battle.
"What happened to your face and clothes? Where is Lao Wang next door?"
Li Zichen couldn't help but ask.
The man in black paused: "The master has been dead for three days and was buried three days ago. But don't worry, young master, he specifically asked us to bury him in his favorite tea garden.
inside."
Li Zichen's eyes suddenly widened, and his huge eyes were full of scarlet.
He grabbed the clothes of the man in black, "No! How could he die so suddenly! I don't believe it. Everything was fine before! He even came over to celebrate my birthday. How could he just say no and die now?"
Yes! You must have teamed up to play with me!"
"Young master, we are not playing tricks on you! This is all true. Long before the master knew you, he had already been diagnosed with late-stage gastric cancer! That's why the master found a place to live in seclusion and no longer went out to make cosmetics..."
Li Zichen paused and fell backwards: "What..."
It turns out that the reason why Lao Wang next door has been staying away from home and making his favorite cosmetics is because he has cancer and it is in the late stage.
So many people asked him to come out, but he didn't choose to come out.
In the end, he invited him out.
"Then why didn't he get treatment? Why didn't he tell me?"
Li Zichen covered his eyes and cried.
The man in black sighed softly: "Before I met you, I also tried to get treatment. However, the success rate was very low. Not only that, the treatment process was very painful. So he gave up. He said that he had lived enough. But after meeting
After you, he actually said that he didn't want to die so early."
"But, he doesn't want you to worry either. Rather than having you worry and having to undergo such painful treatment, he would rather spend the last time happily with you..."
It is also for these reasons that Mr. Wang next door did not choose to receive treatment to extend his life.
If he had to rely on machines to live longer while lying on the hospital bed unable to move, he would rather live happily for a short time...
