After packing the items away, she stored them directly into her space. Since Old Master Chu had been wholeheartedly devoted to the original owner, she resolved that these matters would end here.
Because the train to the countryside departed at ten in the morning, Hua Wanqing had arrived early in his car.
Since practicing feudal superstitions was now forbidden, Yunyi only brought the wine Old Master Chu used to enjoy and the pastries she had bought from the department store the previous day.
Only when she got into the car did she realize Gu Peiyan and another young man were also inside.
Hua Wanqing introduced them, "Yunyi, this is Gu Xibei."
Upon hearing the name, Yunyi knew who he was; he was the person Old Master Chu had treated.
Looking at Gu Xibei, Yunyi felt somewhat conflicted.
Because Old Master Chu was saving Gu Xibei, the car he was in had been intercepted. Consequently, Old Master Chu lost his life saving Gu Xibei’s father, Gu Peiyan.
Perhaps Old Master Chu had no regrets, but due to her grandfather’s death, the original owner eventually lost her will to live.
The original owner had passed away; Yunyi became the beneficiary of the good fortune Old Master Chu had traded his life for.
Gu Xibei, seeing Yunyi frown, thought the young woman was blaming him. "I am Gu Xibei," he said. "I am very sorry about what happened to Grandpa Chu. Rest assured, from now on, you are my own sister. Should you encounter any problems you can’t solve, you can contact me."
Yunyi naturally understood what Gu Xibei meant.
Perhaps Old Master Chu had his own private reasons when he agreed to the Hua Family’s request to treat Gu Xibei, or when he saved Gu Peiyan on the return journey. However, she believed that even without such considerations, Old Master Chu would have acted in the same way.
