After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 356, Episode 0385: Grandpa's Selfless Love
Did you expect to have a warm and fragrant porridge and a simmering fire that night?
NO!

There's nothing there.

Even the simple adjective "sleeping" wasn't enough for poor groom Huo Han.

Suppressing his urge to act and his burning heat, he had only gone halfway down the stairs when the phone rang in the lobby. It was the National Security Bureau calling.

That night, the old man knocked on Lin Yuexi's door and came in carrying a rectangular box instead of using a cane.

Lin Yuexi's room had already been renovated by the old man, who combined two rooms and a study into one large room, and the original guest room next door was converted into a study.

Upon entering the large room, there is a small living room. To the left, separated by a screen, is the Opel, and to the right, separated by a wall, is the walk-in closet with sliding doors.

In other words, the entire second-floor single-sided area was converted by the old man for Lin Yuexi's exclusive use, and there was even a guest room opposite his own residence.

It's clear from the old man's renovation that he never intended for Lin Yuexi to leave him and live with someone else.

"Do you like this room? Grandpa doesn't know what kind of layout you young people like. I heard that many young girls have a walk-in closet prepared for them at home. If they have it, Grandpa won't allow you to be without it."

As soon as Lin Yuexi helped him sit down on the sofa, the old man immediately asked in a slightly cautious tone.

Lin Yuexi sat down beside him, took his hand, and rested her head on his shoulder. "Grandpa, thank you. I like it very much."

In fact, Lin Yuexi didn't have high requirements for where she lived, but she couldn't help but be moved by the old man's affection for her.

It could be said that the old man was the most selfless person in the entire Leng family to her. Lin Yuexi sometimes even felt heavy about this affection, not knowing how to repay it.

But the old man never intended for her to repay him!

The old man's eyes were slightly red as he tenderly stroked her hair. "I'm happy as long as you like her."

Shaking off the inexplicable sadness, the old man placed the box in his hand on Lin Yuexi's lap and opened it.

Lin Yuexi looked down and saw several red books of different sizes inside. "What are these??"

There are bankbooks and property deeds, a thick stack of them. What is her grandfather planning to do?
The old man first took out the top two books. "These two courtyards are the ones your grandmother left you. I transferred them to your name a long time ago. Since you weren't often in Beijing before, I just kept them for you."

He gestured with his chin toward the box. "The savings book is a wedding gift from Grandpa. Your parents and uncles will help with the wedding preparations, so Grandpa doesn't need to worry about anything. I might as well just give you the money directly, and you can buy whatever you need."

"Over the past few years, all the profits from Yuexi Group have been placed with me. I thought that you don't spend money much, so it would be better to invest in real estate instead. There happened to be a few nice houses, so I took the initiative to buy them for you, and you are the registered owner."

The old man reached into the box and rummaged through it, then took out the household registration book and placed it on top of the two books on Lin Yuexi's lap. "You must receive this one. It contains a large estate of nearly 6,000 square meters, which is connected to a sizable mountain. I went to great lengths to get it for you."

Although this grand estate is located in a suburban area of ​​Beijing, its history is quite remarkable. It used to be an imperial estate, with a natural hot spring on the mountain. In ancient times, emperors built a small palace at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the hot spring.

Unfortunately, the small palace was destroyed during the war. Later, during the Republic of China era, the marshal who occupied Beijing was also a pleasure-seeker and built a Chinese-style manor on the original site. This manor has been preserved to this day.

In those years, the prevailing ideology was anti-hedonism, so this manor, which many people probably coveted but was too conspicuous, remained untouched by anyone. Furthermore, its distance from the city made it inconvenient for office use, leaving it vacant. However, the farmland originally attached to the manor was divided among various institutions, especially the Agricultural Research Institute, which received a large portion. When the higher-ups decided to put the manor up for sale, it consisted only of the manor and the adjacent mountain with its hot spring pool.

Even so, they were still snapped up like crazy back then.

Later, the housing authority was so bothered that it was no longer just caught in a dilemma, so it put together an auction, directly selling several properties in Beijing similar to that manor through auction.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Yuexi's group profits had been held by the old man, he really wouldn't have been able to buy the manor, which cost nearly 200,000.

What does 200,000 mean in 1980?
The old man wasn't worried that Lin Yuexi would have any objections, and Lin Yuexi indeed didn't have any objections. On the contrary, she happily hugged the old man and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Grandpa, you're amazing!

A resort with natural hot springs—regardless of its past significance, if this place is developed in the future, it will be a money-making machine.

However, this thought only flashed through Lin Yuexi's mind. She was not short of money, nor was she the kind of person who was obsessed with money. At least for the time being, she had no real intention of commercializing the place.

Seeing her happy made the old man happy too.

However, although some things might hurt feelings if said, his beloved granddaughter is now married and has her own family. After a little hesitation, the old man decided that there were some things he should tell her frankly, so that his beloved granddaughter wouldn't suffer a loss if he didn't approve of her.

"The human heart is the most unpredictable thing."

The old man watched his grandson put the property certificate back into the box and said earnestly, "Besides these dozen or so properties, your grandmother left you some things. Those things weren't worth much before, but recently similar items outside have become increasingly valuable."

The old man reached out and turned Lin Yuexi's head to face him, staring directly into her eyes without allowing her to look away. "My dear, remember what Grandpa said. You don't owe anyone in the Leng family anything. On the contrary, you have brought unparalleled glory to the Leng family. Because of you, our Leng family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke. Everything that comes into your hands is rightfully yours, so you must protect it well."

Lin Yuexi: "...Grandpa!"

Why do I have to explain this to her in such a serious manner?

Is it possible?
The granddaughter looked completely bewildered, which made the old man both anxious and angry. He wanted to give her a good whack on the head, but instead, he lightly pressed down a few stray hairs that had somehow stuck up on her head.

"Don't think about it anymore. I'm talking about your parents. I have no complaints about how they treated you before, but things are different now and in the future. Not only do you have three older brothers, but the gap between you and them is widening, both in terms of achievements and finances."

"I'm not saying it's certain, but I'm afraid people's hearts are fickle, so I'm telling you to be more cautious."

He paused, then added, "And about Xiao Huo, I don't know why you suddenly agreed to marry him, but Grandpa believes you're someone who takes responsibility for your life, and you're not like those brainless young people whose heads are covered in maggots. But Grandpa still wants to remind you, even as husband and wife, you should have some precautions. Besides, the nature of your jobs..."

Lin Yuexi understood the last unspoken words, and with a mix of emotion and sadness, she let out a soft "woof" and hugged the old man tightly.

"grandfather!!!"

Oh no, my eyes feel like they're going to sweat.
