Chapter 3199 Shen Tianyu 599

Gu Aoting was most afraid of Qin Ye suddenly being nice to him.

He wouldn't act so strangely unless something major happened.

The company is currently full of talented people, backed by the Yuan family, and has the Maoshan sect as its support, so the possibility of the company running into trouble is not high.

Suddenly realizing something, Gu Aoting panicked.

He grabbed Qin Ye's hand, his pupils dilating. "Ah Ye, am I nearing my end? Am I about to die?"

Qin Ye said, "No, that's not true. You're perfectly fine. It's just that you're not young anymore. I disappeared right after I was born, and I haven't spent enough time with you. I want to spend more time with you. You and my mother can both come to my house or one of my two sons' houses. You can stay wherever you like."

Gu Aoting suddenly let go of his hand.

He chuckled bitterly a few times, his eyes dull and lifeless. "I've long since come to terms with it. To die peacefully without illness is a blessing. My father was like that; he sensed his time was coming, so he dressed himself in his burial clothes beforehand and passed away quietly. When I was young, I caused you all a lot of trouble, but at this age, I won't trouble you anymore. If that day really comes, I'll dress myself in my burial clothes beforehand, so that my body won't be stiff and difficult to put on after I die."

Qin Ye patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Beixian's eyes welled up with tears as he listened.

Gu Aoting suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, the will, divide all the shares under my name that are due, so that after I die you won't be so polite to each other and refuse them. Other families fight tooth and nail over property, but our family is the opposite. Although I have many shortcomings in my life, my greatest merit is that I gave birth to you wonderful children, and our family has flourished, with five generations living under one roof. My life is complete."

Qin Shu stepped out of the elevator and said to Qin Ye and Gu Beixian, "He's not going anywhere. You two should go back and come visit him whenever you have a spare moment."

Qin Shu used to find Gu Aoting annoying, so she would stay at her daughter Gu Nanyin's house.

Ever since Gu Aoting pretended to be seriously ill last time, she moved back in and no longer found him annoying.

Seeing their parents' firm stance, the two brothers had no choice but to take their leave.

Before they could take more than a few steps, they heard Gu Aoting say behind them, "Give more company shares to Zhouzhou, Fanfan, and Aheng, and more property to Tianyu. You have no objections, right? That child has done everything he could for this family."

The two brothers stopped, turned around, and said, "We have no objections."

"Then I'll have a lawyer rewrite my will and have it notarized."

The two brothers agreed.

After they left, Gu Aoting looked at Qin Shu and said, "Shu'er, you gave most of your jewelry to Yuening. I'll give half of my jewelry to Tianyu and Jinzhi, and the other half to my brothers and sisters. I don't think anyone will object, right?"

Qin Shu said, "Definitely not."

Gu Aoting lowered his eyelids. "Don't let Tianyu know. I'm afraid that child, moved by my plight, might extend my life. What difference does it make if I live a few more years or a few less? We can't ruin that child just to live a few more years, can we?"

Qin Shu looked at him.

When I was young, I was so angry with him that I could grind my teeth in frustration.

As the end approached, he suddenly started to resemble a human being again.

Qin Shu sat down next to him and said, "Old Peacock, you did a great job!"

Gu Aoting reached out and grabbed her hand.

Her hands were still white, slender and long, like a beautiful woman's hands, but inevitably, age spots and wrinkles had appeared on them.

Gu Aoting held her hand firmly in his palm and slowly placed it on his chest, saying, "Shu'er, what I miss most is not our vast wealth, nor our children and grandchildren, nor the Gu Group, but you. Those children all have wives, children, and grandchildren to accompany them. When I die, you will have no companion."

Qin Shu felt empty inside.

She'd been bickering with him her whole life, and if he really died, she'd be terrified.

But she stubbornly insisted, "It's alright, I can remarry."

Gu Aoting smiled wryly, "At this age, why would I want to remarry? You wouldn't even be interested in an old man like me. The young men are all after your money."

Qin Shu said no more.

She didn't even like the young men.

Soon, four lawyers arrived.

Gu Aoting amended his will and recorded a video.

Having too much property under his name, even just changing his will took a long time.

After the revisions were completed, Gu Aoting signed the power of attorney, and the lawyers sent the will to be notarized.

Shen Tianyu stood at his window and saw people coming and going at Gu Aoting's house.

I understand.

Gu Beixian and Qin Ye are planning to give up on Gu Aoting.

He wasn't the only one who could transcend tribulations and prolong his life; his master Dugu Cheng, Zong Heng, Wu Yazi, and Master Mao Jun all possessed this ability.

But he will no longer let his master take action.

Zong Heng, Wu Yazi, and Master Mao Jun are already quite old. They would never intervene in matters that would shorten their lifespan, harm their health, or damage their cultivation unless they had a life-or-death bond with them. As for outsiders, they would be even less likely to do so.

In the evening, Shen Tianyu drove to pick up Yuan Jin from get off work.

Shen Tianyu usually had a calm demeanor and never showed his emotions, but after spending a long time with him, Yuan Jinzhi could still detect subtle differences.

She gazed at his handsome profile. "Something on your mind?"

Shen Tianyu said: "No."

“We are husband and wife, you are in me and I am in you, you can’t hide it from me, you must have something on your mind.”

Shen Tianyu opened the back door and helped her into the car.

After settling down, Yuan Jinzhi continued to press, "Who got into trouble?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Shen Tianyu said, "Grandpa."

"Great-grandfather?"

Shen Tianyu gave a low "hmm" and started the car.

Yuan Jin was startled and reached out to take out the jade Buddha hidden in her collar.

The jade Buddha was also a gift from Gu Aoting.

Yuan Jinzhi gazed at the jade Buddha, its color so vibrant it seemed to drip with moisture, in his palm. "Is he ill, or..."

"It's just what you think."

Yuan Jinzhi tightened his grip on the jade Buddha, feeling a sudden pang of reluctance.

How could such a vibrant old man, full of energy, go to her house late at night and sing to her, suddenly be facing his end?

Shen Tianyu drove Yuan Jinzhi to the villa registered under his mother's name.

The villa was close to her workplace.

After parking the car, Shen Tianyu opened the door, helped her out, and said, "After we finish our meal, I'll take you out for a drive."

"Not going back to the villa?"

"Old Gu isn't in the mood to sing for you right now. He'll stay here for the time being to avoid commuting to work. He can go back to the resort on weekends."

After dinner, Shen Tianyu drove her to the more remote beach.

The sea breeze is salty and refreshing, but cooler than elsewhere.

Shen Tianyu held her hand and said, "Twilight is approaching, and a miracle will happen."

Yuan Jinzhi smiled slightly, "What miracle?"

"You'll see it soon, don't get too close."

He took a mask and put it on her.

Yuan Jinzhi laughed, "It's late at night, no one can see my face clearly."

"Wear it."

Night falls quickly.

The streetlights were sparse, the moon was pale and the stars were few; it was pitch black everywhere.

If Shen Tianyu hadn't been by his side, Yuan Jinzhi would never have come here. It was dark and quiet, eerily so, with hardly any cars passing by on the road next to it.

Suddenly she covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Because the once dark sea in the distance now emits a faint blue light, bobbing with the waves, which is quite breathtaking!
