Grandma Jian could not make a decision on this matter. And thus, she could only wait for her husband to make a decision.
Grandpa Jian pondered about this for quite some time.
The reason why he refused to give the family business to Jian Yubo was that he was angry.
Grandpa Jian would rather destroy their family business than hand it over to someone who had indirectly threatened him.
However… If Jian Yubo hated…
If that was the case, then perhaps, he was willing to hand over their family fortune to Jian Yubo.
Grandpa Jian said to Jian Yiling: “I’ll think about this matter. Please don’t worry. I’m still young. I can protect our family.”
“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied.
After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian had a long discussion.
Finally, a difficult decision was made.
Then, Grandpa Jian called Jian Yubo to come over to the Old Jian Residence.
As soon as he arrived, Jian Yubo asked Grandpa Jian: “Have you made your decision?”
“Yes, I’ve decided.” This time, Grandpa Jian’s tone was much calmer. “However, before I tell you my decision, I want to tell you why I made this decision in the first place.”
Jian Yubo didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at Grandpa Jian and waited for him to continue.
“It was your sister. She found a bunch of information. Then, she asked me to give you the family’s fortune.”
Grandpa Jian’s words broke the calmness and composure on Jian Yubo’s face.
Grandpa Jian’s words shouldn’t have surprised him.
Back then, she had stopped him with her small body. She had asked him the same thing.
Grandpa Jian continued to speak: “I don’t know who she asked nor how much time it took her to find this information… However, she heard about the words that you confessed to your Go teacher.”
Jian Yubo rarely revealed his thoughts to anyone.
The only time that he did was with his Go teacher.
His teacher had asked him why he exhibited such antisocial and hostile behavior.
His teacher could sense Jian Yubo’s behavior. It was not obvious to most people, however, it was easy to read from how he opened a match in Go.
His teacher had told him that he would not become a top Go player if he kept revealing such things about himself.
To be a top Go player, one must learn to be calm.
Then, his teacher asked him to tell him why he was angry in the first place.
That was the only time when Jian Yubo had revealed his innermost thoughts. He revealed the hatred that had been burned into his heart during his childhood.
Jian Yiling had asked someone to contact Jian Yubo’s teacher. She had gotten this information from Jian Yubo’s teacher.
This was the only way that they could understand Jian Yubo’s actions.
Grandpa Jian stared at Jian Yubo: “Your sister said that she was willing to give you the entirety of our family’s fortunes. After your grandma and I discussed the matter, we’ve decided to support her decision. I think she still wants you to be part of our family.”
Grandpa Jian’s words finally caused a slight change in Jian Yubo’s expression.
When Jian Yubo opened his mouth to speak again, he spoke with a little emotion in his words: “She’s still the same as before.”
Jian Yiling was still the same little girl.
She was a fool. A little fool who would not hesitate to give him all her money just because he said so.
As the princess of the Jian family, what she valued was never money. Instead, she valued her family.
To her, her family was priceless.
Whether she was asked to hand over her possessions or the entire Jian family fortune, she was willing to do either.
However, very soon, Jian Yubo reverted back to his indifferent demeanor.
He asked Grandpa Jian to sign a transfer of shares. This meant that all the shares that were under Grandpa Jian’s name were moved under his name.
The shares of the Jian family were initially all in the hands of Grandpa Jian and his wife. However, as their family grew, the shares were gradually divided up among the family members.
