Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Whether it was because Grandpa Tang was restless or because everyone was crying for the grandfather and granddaughter, it rained heavily all night. Tang Junyao and two servants stayed with Grandpa Tang in the mourning hall until dawn.

"Please accept my condolences, Yao Yao. Don't be too sad. It may be a relief for Old Master Tang." These were the words of Su's mother, who had accompanied Su Xue to pay her respects early in the morning.

"Yaoyao, don't be sad. If you're like this, Grandpa Tang won't be able to rest in peace. Grandpa doesn't like seeing you cry. My dear, you still have me." Su Xue felt a pang of heartache when she saw her best friend, who had lost a lot of weight, and hugged her to comfort her.

After hugging for a while, he pushed Su Xue away and bowed politely to Su's mother. Even Su's mother felt sorry for the old woman and the young girl. Her daughter and Tang Junyao had a good relationship since they were little. The two of them would often hide in Su Xue's room to play. Su's mother also liked Tang Junyao very much. When Tang Junyao grew up and became a graceful young lady, Su's mother once wanted to matchmake her son with Tang Junyao. However, she could see that Tang Junyao only treated her son as an older brother.

After Su's mother finished her eulogy, she left. Su Xue asked to stay and keep Tang Junyao company, and Su's mother did not object.

A moment later, a shout of abuse suddenly rang out from the doorway, "You unfilial daughter, are you trying to turn the world upside down? Your grandfather passed away last night, such a big thing, and you didn't even inform us. I think you have ulterior motives, just like your mother. Let me tell you..."

The person who came in was Tang Junyao's father, Tang Xin. As soon as he walked in, he started cursing at Tang Junyao.

"If you've come here to anger Grandpa, please lift your noble feet; the door is over there." She glared fiercely at Tang Xin, her eyes filled with hatred, devoid of any fatherly affection, her gaze icy cold.

When he met her cold, sharp, and murderous gaze, Tang's father was also taken aback. This was the second time she had looked at him with that gaze; the first time was the day his ex-wife jumped off the building.

Inside the mourning hall, those who came to pay their respects were whispering among themselves. People in the circle all knew about the Tang family's situation. Some felt sorry for Tang Junyao, while others were just watching the drama unfold. Who could truly empathize with her?

Su Xue didn't want her best friend to cause a scene with Tang's father in front of Tang's grandfather's mourning hall, only to have her friend end up heartbroken. She stepped forward and said, "Uncle Tang, you've been here for a while now. Shouldn't you offer incense and kneel down to Tang's grandfather? Everyone around is watching!"

Su Xue didn't speak loudly, but moved closer to Tang's father. Her voice seemed to be audible to only the two of them, but the mourning hall was not noisy at the moment, so their conversation could be heard by those who were close by.

Given the Su family's influence and the occasion, Tang's father did not press the matter further.

Grandpa Ji was the last to arrive. He glanced around but didn't find his good-for-nothing grandson. He then strode briskly toward the mourning hall to offer incense.

"Girl, after Old Master Tang's funeral today, let's move to the Imperial Garden. That way, Old Master Tang can rest assured." Old Master Ji's tone was very approachable, and his eyes showed kindness. He spoke as a suggestion, not an order.

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Ji." Although she also had a rebellious streak, she would return politeness to polite people, so she did not completely refuse. She would talk about everything tomorrow.

The sky remained overcast, with thicker and thicker clouds gathering. A gentle breeze, like a sharp knife, pierced her black hoodie, causing a sharp pain in her chest.

Inside the cemetery, Su Xue held a black umbrella over her best friend, standing quietly in the drizzle, her lips pressed tightly together.

"Xiaoxue, you go first. I want to talk to Grandpa alone for a while." The silence was broken by a weak but firm voice.

"Okay, you take the umbrella. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." Su Xue didn't refuse. She understood Tang Junyao too well. She was reluctant to part with Grandpa Tang and wanted to say goodbye one last time.

"Take the umbrella with you. It's not raining much, so don't worry. Grandpa's with me, he won't let me get wet."

Su Xue's eyes instantly reddened, her vision blurring as she looked at Grandpa Tang's tombstone. Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Okay, don't stay too long. The drizzle is a bit chilly, and Grandpa Tang is most afraid that you'll get sick."

With her back to Su Xue, Tang Junyao did not answer. She just stared intently at her grandfather's tombstone. The inscription did not bear Tang's father's name, but rather that of his granddaughter, Tang Junyao.

Su Xue turned and went down the mountain, tears streaming down her face.

Tang Junyao stood in the misty rain, without an umbrella or raincoat, letting the rain soak her hair and cheeks.

The drizzle dampened the surface of the tombstone, and she kept wiping it with her slender hands. "Grandpa, now it's just the two of us left. Let's chat a bit more. I have to criticize you today, Grandpa. You really have no sense of how to choose the weather. The weather is terrible today. I wanted to choose a day with good weather to send you off, but what can I do? You're a Buddhist, so I had to spend a fortune to find a fortune teller to calculate your fate. See? You're such a pain. It would have been better if you hadn't calculated it, but you ended up with this kind of weather."

She sniffed, looked up at the dark sky, and held back her tears. "Grandpa, I missed you as soon as you left. I missed you so much, but what can I do? I don't want to go back to the house without you. That house is full of our memories. I can't distinguish between reality and dreams. Today, Grandpa Ji asked me to move to the house of the grandson-in-law you chose, but I'm not used to living with a stranger. What should I do, Grandpa?"

She leaned against the tombstone, as if she were nestled together with her grandfather, who seemed as if he had never left.

He didn't tell Tang Xin's grandfather the time of the funeral, but if he really cared, how could he not know?

The rain stopped when we came down the mountain; perhaps Grandpa Tang felt sorry for his granddaughter.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Su Xue's car was indeed still parked there. She opened her own car door and sat in the passenger seat.

As soon as the car arrived at the Tang residence, a servant rushed out. "Miss, a lawyer is looking for you inside."

"Hmm? Did he say anything? Grandpa didn't give any instructions."

"Let's go in and take a look. Just in case it's something Grandpa Tang instructed us to do." Su Xue guessed that no one else would come looking for her best friend at this time, and it was even less likely that a lawyer would come. She didn't have a single penny of the Tang family's property, so the only thing she could do was let Grandpa Tang arrange something.

Grandpa Tang treated her like his best friend, so how could he not leave her anything?

The man was dressed in a black suit, wearing his signature glasses, exuding a refined and knowledgeable air. He was estimated to be in his forties and looked very professional.

Upon seeing Tang Junyao enter, he stood up first and introduced himself, "Hello, Miss Tang. I am the lawyer entrusted by Mr. Tang. My surname is Li. I am here today to complete the matter entrusted to me by Mr. Tang before his death."

Su Xue wasn't surprised by his purpose in coming; she had already guessed it before she even entered the room.

"Attorney Li, please sit down. Tell me what my grandfather asked me to do." Su Xue sat down beside her.

Attorney Li opened his black briefcase and placed several documents that Mr. Tang had already signed on the coffee table. He began to explain: "The first document is the transfer agreement for 20% of Tang's shares. This one is the gift agreement for this house. According to inheritance, it should belong to your father, but Mr. Tang has the right to distribute his property ownership, so Miss Tang doesn't need to worry about any disputes. This one shows that all of Mr. Tang's funds, stocks, and cash in the bank will be transferred to your name. Mr. Tang personally notarized all of these. Even if Miss Tang doesn't sign today, I will use my abilities to transfer them all to Miss Tang's name. This is a task I must complete for Mr. Tang, and I hope Miss Tang will cooperate." As a lawyer with many years of experience, he could tell that this young woman had not decided to inherit and understood the series of actions Mr. Tang had taken.

"Let's sign now. Miss Tang, it's best to follow Mr. Tang's wishes. He said before he passed away that these are owed to your mother and to you, and you deserve them."

"Okay." Tang Junyao swiftly signed and pressed her fingerprint on each page, completing all the formalities.

"Ms. Tang, thank you for your cooperation. This letter is from Mr. Tang. Please keep it safe and accept my condolences." Attorney Li said cleanly and decisively, then turned and left.

His mission was accomplished. More than a decade later, in his early twenties, Attorney Li had become a leading figure in the industry through his abilities. The sudden glory and brilliance made him arrogant. Arrogance leads to complacency, and he underestimated a case that dragged him down from heaven to hell. He lost a case representing a rich second-generation heir, and this blow left him devastated.

One day, Old Tang found him and asked him to help him make a will and then take it to be notarized. "Young man, how come one lawsuit has made you so depressed? Who were you working so hard for all these years?"

Attorney Li looked up at the kind-faced old man. "Sir, who are you?"

Grandpa Tang: "They'll be your clients soon. Are you confident you can handle it?"

After losing his case, no one contacted him again, which gave him a glimmer of hope. "Come on."

"Hmm, it seems there's still hope."

After Attorney Li helped Mr. Tang with everything, Mr. Tang instructed him: "I hope you don't give this video to my granddaughter. Keep it if you need it while you're alive. If you don't need it, just consider it as taking up space in your safe. I will pay you for keeping these things safe. Young man, you are very capable, but you lack composure. No matter what position or height you reach in the future, don't be arrogant. You must always reflect on yourself in order to reach the height you want."

Looking back, Attorney Li is very grateful for Mr. Tang's guidance and timely help, which gave him a boost.

He had kept everything hidden for over a decade, and it was finally completed. However, he didn't give the last thing to Tang Junyao. Over the years, the salary and trust that Old Tang had given him far exceeded the normal salary for an employee. He was a grateful person.
