The funeral arrangements for Old Master Chu were handled by the Hua Family, who set up a memorial hall at his home.
Before this, the Sun Family had the gall to show up, spouting all sorts of nonsense. Their calculating eyes did not escape Yunyi's notice.
She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she certainly wouldn't indulge them.
After handling Old Master Chu's affairs, Hua Wanqing, along with the Gu Family members, accompanied Yunyi back to the Chu residence.
After a few pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
Hua Wanqing took a manila envelope from the bag he carried. "I know that nothing said now can change what has happened, but this is a small token of our Hua Family's esteem. Please accept it. Rest assured, if you ever need the Hua Family's assistance in the future, we will spare no effort." He then added, "Of course, this excludes anything illegal or improper."
Afterward, Gu Peiyan also produced a manila envelope, his face etched with guilt. "I am truly sorry. Because of our Gu Family, Old Master Chu suffered an undeserved calamity. Please accept this." He placed the envelope on a nearby table, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yunyi. "This lists the contact information for Gu Family members in various places. You can contact us anytime if you need anything."
Her grandfather's death was directly connected to them, but he was already gone, and saying more would be futile.
Yunyi accepted the paper and glanced at the manila envelopes on the table. "My grandfather indeed suffered an undeserved calamity; you know this better than anyone. However, every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Take your things back."
They tried to persuade her further, but Yunyi stopped them. "I only want to ask one thing: who was behind harming my grandfather?"
Hua Wanqing and Gu Peiyan exchanged a look. They hadn't intended to discuss such matters with Yunyi, given her youth. However, they felt she had a right to know and should be vigilant in the future. After all, that person operated without any moral bottom line.
Gu Peiyan spoke with a grave expression, "It's the Shen Family in Beijing. Their head is Shen Zhongyang, and they hold a deep grudge against our Gu Family."
Yunyi briefly learned about the Shen Family from Gu Peiyan, a cold glint in her eyes. "I'm going to the countryside in a few days. I'll entrust the Shen Family matter to you. Please inform me if there's any news."
Hearing she was going to the countryside, both Hua Wanqing and Gu Peiyan were surprised.
Hua Wanqing frowned. "According to policy, you don't have to go. Old Master Chu had also said you would be starting at the hospital soon. Why the sudden decision to go to the countryside?"
Yunyi hadn't planned to hide it from them, lest someone exploit the situation after her departure—she knew all too well how shameless the Sun Family could be.
So, she briefly explained the situation. Hua Wanqing looked at Yunyi, his expression unreadable.
Fortunately, the young lady had come to her senses in time and wasn't utterly foolish. Knowing she had strayed but now sought to return to the right path, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunyi recalled what the original owner had heard from Sun Ruiming and Su Aiyu, her eyes narrowing. Scheme against me? Not a chance! "Uncle Hua, there's one more thing I need your help with."
Hua Wanqing nodded slightly. "Go on."
Yunyi cleared her throat. "Going to the countryside is non-negotiable, but could you please help me change the destination to the Northeast?"
Hearing Yunyi's request, Hua Wanqing's brow furrowed even more. "The Northeast is too cold. How can a young girl like you endure it?"
Yunyi had a different take. "In the Northeast, you can pass the winter in relative idleness, which means a few months less work. Compared to other places, it's comparatively easier."
Seeing Yunyi had made up her mind, Hua Wanqing agreed. "Alright, I'll handle this for you."
Now, Chuyunyi was someone the Hua and Gu Families were obliged to protect. Naturally, they wouldn't let her be schemed against so easily.
