Chapter 1283: Chapter 1287: One Wrong Step Leads to Another

But now that the truth is out, he no longer hates Gu Lan, and his disgust for Yun Jue has also faded away. He suddenly realizes that giving up on Yun Jue, giving up on his only grandson, is even more painful than gouging out his own heart.

He so wished to bring Yun Jue home, to take good care of him, to truly cherish him this time.

But he knows, he no longer has that chance.

He wipes his face, takes several deep breaths, forcing himself to remain calm.

After a moment, he looks at Yun Jue and says, "Ah Jue, no matter what, you are your father’s only son, the only bloodline of the Yun Family. Everything of the Yun Family is yours. I’m old now, and it’s time to hand over everything of the Yun family to you... Remembering that your dad worried about taking the blame for your mom before his death, please don’t refuse..."

Yun Jue’s eyes are bloodshot and red-rimmed, silently looking at him, without uttering a word.

He sighs, "In a few days... in a few days, I’ll hand over everything I can to you. I’m old and I just want to live a few peaceful days..."

He fears that Yun Jue will completely sever ties with the Yun Family, even unwilling to take the enterprise he spent his lifetime building.

This is his only grandson.

He is old and won’t live many more years.

If Yun Jue doesn’t want his possessions, should he donate them?

Would that mean the heritage of the Yun family, built over generations, would be ruined by his hands?

How could he face his father and grandfather underground after a hundred years?

Yun Jue just looks at him, showing no desire to speak.

Senior Master Yun sighs again, "I know it’s hard for you to accept this outcome, and I am deeply saddened as well. But no matter what, your dad loved your mom. Even when he was dying, he thought of protecting her... And he made a will early on, designating you and your mom as his only heirs in case something happened to him..."

His son made a will while he was still so young, he guessed his son did this to protect against the child the mistress was bearing.

He didn’t know how this mistress had blackmailed his son into keeping the baby.

Maybe, as his son had mentioned, after sleeping with his son, the mistress held leverage over him, threatening to tell Gu Lan if he severed ties with her.

His son isn’t like him.

He didn’t love his wife, they had no feelings between them, just partners living life together.

He dared to keep a mistress because he could happily divorce if his wife asked for it.

But his son couldn’t do that.

He knew his own son.

His son loved Gu Lan.

Knowing how Gu Lan wouldn’t tolerate any grains of sand in her eyes, how could he dare let her know he slept with another woman?

And so, one mistake led to a cascade of errors.

Perhaps the first time his son was with that woman, he was truly schemed against. But as Gu Lan pointed out, later on, his son developed a taste for it, became unable to extricate himself, and didn’t want to.

Regardless, in his son’s eyes, that woman and the child in her womb were just playthings for fun.

To avoid the possibility of that woman contesting the wealth with Gu Lan and Yun Jue, he made a will early on, ensuring that in the event of an accident, all his property would belong to Gu Lan and Yun Jue.

It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade.

Even though Senior Master Gu never bent the law for personal gain, nor allowed those around him to swindle under his name.
