Chapter 328: Chapter 328: The Appearance of the Arch-Enemy (5)

Xiao Yebai took Gu Nuan’s hand and walked up the stairway with banisters.

Because they were celebrating the elder’s birthday, they had specially invited a master carver to craft some new floral patterns on the handrail.

Gu Nuan saw that the handrails were all carved with lotus flowers.

It seemed that Grandma Xiao probably believed in Buddhism.

Xiao Yebai saw her thoughtful eyes and called her attention to the murals on the wall.

On the opposite wall to the banisters, there hung a series of oil paintings. Each one was a masterpiece, likely the work of great artists.

Among them was one that clearly depicted Virgin Mary of Christianity.

"All of these were left by my mother’s ancestors."

Gu Nuan again looked at his neck, actually, she had noticed earlier, that he wore a pendant around his neck.

The pendant, carved from jade that resembled emerald, was not of Buddha, not of Guanyin Bodhisattva, but rather of Virgin Mary holding a child. These must have been left to him by his mother.

"In the future, all of these things will belong to me."

The one who spoke these words had a deep voice, like the solid and resolute sound of a cello, filled with the passage and sediment of time.

At this moment, where was the dandy-like demeanor in him? She looked at him, and he almost seemed like a man with a grown beard, a stark reversal of the childish image he had previously presented to her.

It could be said that a man with ambition always exudes a formidable force.

Gu Nuan’s heart couldn’t help but thump wildly, as if a little deer was jumping about inside.

His proclamation was filled with dominance, the dominance over everything in this house. As Gu Nuan lowered her head and continued walking upwards with him, she pondered.

Since he had mentioned that everything here was his, surely, his several sisters wouldn’t agree to that.

What was the reason that made him so determined to claim everything as his?

If it were her and Gu Sheng, certainly they would not say -- correct, Gu Sheng would definitely not tell her that everything their father and mother left was solely his. She also would never insist on grabbing the inheritance that should belong to Gu Sheng.

Walking across the corridor lined with expensive solid wood floors, Gu Nuan was led by his hand to the last room at the end of the corridor.

Before he pushed the door open, he mysteriously flashed her two shallow dimples, appearing childlike, "Guess whose room this is?"

He had already said before, hadn’t he? He was taking her to see his room.

Gu Nuan pondered for just a moment before speaking without hesitation, "Is it your mother’s room?"

He tenderly flicked her forehead with his fingertips, clearly very pleased and fond of her, saying, "Right! My Nuannuan is the smartest woman in the world."

This point actually didn’t require much intelligence on her part. Considering his previous hints all along the way. All the good things, the things left by his mother, if not worn around his neck, then they all belonged to him. It indicated that Mother Xiao truly had left the best of everything for her son.

As for Xiao Jianming, the wealth here was actually the dowry brought by his wife in the past, and in reality, it belonged to the wife. If his wife declared before her passing which child should have something, Xiao Jianming would have no reason to refuse to carry it out.

Furthermore, there was something Gu Nuan had learned after joining Changda and promptly applied – don’t forget, Changda was in real estate.

The best room in a house, judging by the location, sunlight, ventilation, and area, was something Gu Nuan, having undergone related training after entering Changda, could grasp easily. These basics were simple to learn, and she could immediately apply them to determine the quality on the spot.

The room that he now brought her to had the optimal ventilation from north to south, where in the summer, the sunlight from the south side wasn’t hot, and in the winter it was warm. Positioned at the very end of the corridor, it took up the largest space and was the most private place.
