Chapter 197 Old Master Ming Made a Major Decision
Gu Ye has arrived.
"Grandpa Ming."
Although Gu Ye was greeting Grandpa Ming, his gaze was fixed on Chu Xinglan.
Old Master Ming smiled. Gu Ye rarely came to the Ming family in the past, but recently he has been coming very frequently. Anyone with eyes can see that he is doing this for Chu Xinglan.
Old Master Ming had already been asking too much of the lovers by separating them into two places; it would be unreasonable to deny them time alone as well.
"You two keep talking."
Master Ming chuckled as he spoke, then slowly walked away, leaning on his cane.
"grandfather……"
Chu Xinglan wanted to help Old Master Ming, but Gu Ye pulled her back.
"Don't let the old man's good intentions go to waste," Gu Ye said with a smile.
Chu Xinglan glared at him somewhat awkwardly, worried about the elderly Mr. Ming who had difficulty walking. Fortunately, Uncle Ma came over quickly and helped Mr. Ming away, which put Chu Xinglan at ease.
“This is the Ming family home. There are many people serving the old master here. Moreover, he has a devoted Uncle Ma, so you don’t need to worry about anything.” Gu Ye’s gaze remained fixed on Chu Xinglan, taking in her worries and brows, a gentle smile on his face.
"Oh, I was just worrying unnecessarily." Chu Xinglan replied with a hint of temper. When she saw Gu Ye staring intently at her, her face flushed, and she glanced around uncomfortably.
"Aren't you getting a little too idle as the CEO? You keep coming here all the time."
"What can I do? My wife is being held at her parents' house, and I can't sleep alone. I can only try to be more diligent. My dear wife, can you please have some pity on me and come home soon?"
Gu Ye wrapped his arms around Chu Xinglan's waist from behind, looking quite aggrieved.
"Shameless!" Chu Xinglan laughed and scolded him. This guy was so flexible and adaptable. If she went back to her parents' home in a fit of anger, she was afraid he would coax her back in no time. She smiled gently and said, "Grandpa is not in good health. I want to spend as much time with him as possible."
“I understand your kindness,” Gu Ye said with a smile. “Grandpa Ming also raised me, so I should repay his kindness.”
With Uncle Ma's help, Grandpa Ming spotted Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan in the distance.
"I never imagined that after all the twists and turns, Gu Ye would still become the son-in-law of our Ming family," Old Master Ming said with emotion.
"We've watched Gu Ye grow up since he was a child. He's incredibly smart and capable; he's a rare talent." Uncle Ma also spoke highly of Gu Ye.
Grandpa Ming nodded.
Gu Ye had quite a connection with the Ming family. He really liked this child. He had intended to get involved in his relationship with Ming Yin and deepen his connection with the Ming family. However, he didn't expect that Ming Yin had no such intention, so he stopped bringing it up. Unexpectedly, Ming Yin fell deeply in love with him and even went so far as to hide her identity and work as a nanny at his house, but she still couldn't win Gu Ye's heart.
Fortunately, the girl he was about to marry was his own granddaughter, and he had already recognized her. Gu Ye had become the Ming family's son-in-law again.
"Grandpa, now that Gu Ye is helping Miss manage the Ming family, there is no need to worry about the Ming family declining anymore."
Uncle Ma saw through Old Master Ming's thoughts and spoke with a smile.
"Dismount. Didn't we promise Gu Ye that Lanlan would stay with this old man for a month? The time is almost up."
Grandpa Ming seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Uncle Ma.
"If the old man wants to keep Miss for a few more months, I believe Gu Ye won't refuse. I'll talk to Gu Ye on your behalf now."
Uncle Ma asked.
Grandpa Ming shook his head.
“Lanlan will get married sooner or later, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s a little later or a little earlier. If she’s not married, she can’t come back. What I want to say is that since Lanlan is getting married soon, I, as her grandfather, should of course prepare a big gift for her. We can’t be as hasty as last time.”
"Gu Ye is much more thoughtful than we are in this regard, after all, he is eager to marry our young lady," Uncle Ma said with a smile.
“I know that, but I represent Lanlan’s family, so I can’t lose to that kid Gu Ye. Although this isn’t ancient times and we can’t use the country as a dowry, Gu Ye has given up his entire fortune for Lanlan.”
As Grandpa Ming spoke, he couldn't help but feel happy for his granddaughter.
"So, what do you mean, sir?" Uncle Ma looked at Old Master Ming, puzzled.
"Contact all the reporters and media immediately. I have an important announcement to make," Old Master Ming instructed Uncle Ma.
"Grandpa, it's been a long time since you held such a grand event. Is it for Miss's wedding with Gu Ye?"
"No, I need to hold a press conference immediately." Old Master Ming became more and more excited as he spoke, and it was clear that he couldn't wait to do it.
"Holding a press conference? What important thing is the old man going to announce?" Uncle Ma asked, puzzled.
"I want to hand over all of the Ming family's businesses to Lanlan and make her the head of the family. From now on, I, the old man, can just enjoy my retirement." Old Master Ming had already begun to look forward to his retirement life.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ma's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Old Master, you should think twice about matters concerning the head of the family."
“I have thought about this matter very carefully. I believe in Gu Ye and I believe in Lanlan. With them, the Ming family will only get better and better.”
Since the old man had said so, Uncle Ma said nothing more.
"That's good. When you retire, I'll go fishing with you every day."
If the Ming family had a successor, Uncle Ma wouldn't want Old Master Ming to work so hard. Although Ming Yin was the heir they had painstakingly cultivated, she was not up to the task. Now it's different. The real young lady has returned. Even if she doesn't know how to do business, she has a very powerful man behind her, so there are no more worries. Old Master Ming should enjoy his old age.
"Little Ma, you're still young, why are you thinking about retirement?" Old Master Ming looked at Uncle Ma.
“I’ve gotten used to serving you. Now that you’re gone, I don’t know what to do anymore. Besides, with Miss and Gu Ye around, there’s even less for me to do. So I might as well retire early with you,” Uncle Ma said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go fishing together and plant some flowers and plants."
The more Mr. Ming thought about it, the more he longed for the carefree life he would lead.
He devoted his entire life to the Ming family, and now he can finally enjoy his old age in peace.
"Then I'll go contact the reporters and media right away." Uncle Ma was also eager to prepare for the comfortable life that would follow.
"Go ahead." Old Master Ming nodded, then turned back to look at Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan. At this moment, Gu Ye had already put his arm around Chu Xinglan's waist and was walking slowly forward along the river, stepping on the pebbles.
Hao'er, the happiness you didn't have, your daughter has given you twice as much of.
