Chapter 352 Seizing the Family Property
As he spoke, Wu Xiaoguang actually started to grab it.
He looked reckless, but actually he had a lot on his mind. Although Xu Youyou had many bodyguards, he didn't bring them into the cellar, and the old lady was no match for him because of her age.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Youyou held the safe in one hand, and the other hand was extremely agile. Wu Xiaoguang didn't even know how she moved, and he had already fallen to the ground with his face on the ground.
"You...you let me go!" Wu Xiaoguang shouted angrily.
Xu Youyou pushed the man to the ground and said, "I'm afraid you won't listen even if I talk to you nicely. This is the only way I can talk to you. Listen carefully, this safe is kept by your great-grandfather. It's not yours, understand?"
When Wu Xiaoguang heard this, he became even more certain that there was a very important treasure in the box. He turned to Old Lady Wu and shouted, "Auntie, you are helping outsiders like this. If the old man knew you were doing this, he would definitely scold you to death!"
Old Mrs. Wu was not affected at all and said, "Xiao Guang, I have lived longer than you, and this is not the first time I have seen someone come to pick up the box. Miss Xu must have received a dream from your great-grandfather, otherwise this thing would not have been found."
Wu Xiaoguang was immediately furious.
Xu Youyou had no intention of continuing to explain. After her family members pushed her away, she was about to leave the cellar with the box in her arms when she suddenly heard the old man's voice.
"Girl, have my worthless prodigal son thrown out. Tell my daughter there's a box in the cellar. The things in this box are for my daughter only. I don't want to leave them to that prodigal son."
Xu Youyou paused when she heard this. She lowered her voice and said, "Grandpa, you won't give any of your family's things to your great-grandson?"
Old Master Wu's voice was filled with a hint of regret: "Whatever I leave to this prodigal son, he will squander it. And secretly, I also want to leave the good things to my daughter. Besides, it's not like I left him nothing. My daughter definitely won't want this two-story house in the village, so I'll leave it to this prodigal son. The houses in the village can't be sold anyway, so at least he'll have a place to stay."
Xu Youyou's heart softened: "Okay.
She waved her hand and asked two bodyguards to go in and pull Wu Xiaoguang out. They locked him up in a room in the two-story building and planned to release him after the matter in the cellar was settled.
"Miss Xu, is there anything else?" Old Mrs. Wu asked doubtfully.
"The old man has something to give you. He wants to give it to you and doesn't want Wu Xiaoguang to get involved in anything." Xu Youyou said.
Mrs. Wu paused when she heard this: "Father...Did Father really say that?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "You know, the old man doesn't have the idea of favoring boys over girls. According to his original words: he wants to leave good things to his daughter."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Since this is what the old man hopes for, as a junior, I should naturally obey."
Following the old man's instructions, after a long period of tedious procedures, Mrs. Wu found an unlocked box from the corner of the cellar.
The box was about the size of a bucket, and contained a lot of small pieces.
When Mrs. Wu saw a small blue and white porcelain bowl, tears fell from her eyes. "This is the bowl I ate from when I was a child. I haven't seen it since I went to college. I thought it was broken, but I didn't expect it to be carefully kept by my father."
Xu Youyou had sharp eyes and was well versed in porcelain. She took one look and said, "This seems to be a product of the Ming Dynasty official kiln..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady handed the small bowl to Xu Youyou. Xu Youyou turned the bowl over and immediately saw the signature on the bottom: "It's actually a small blue and white bowl from the Yongle period, produced by the official kiln, and is well preserved. If it were to be auctioned, the starting price might be several million."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, her face was filled with disbelief: "But this is indeed the bowl I have eaten from since I was a child. It's just that when I was a child, there was something stuck on the bottom of the bowl..."
Xu Youyou recalled the era when the old lady was a child, and immediately understood everything. She said, "It was dark under the lamp. Back then, people didn't dare to hide their treasures. They just showed them off openly. Most people probably wouldn't associate them with antiques."
Xu Youyou did not ask the old lady whether she wanted to sell the treasures in the box. After all, judging from the unusual appearance of her treasures, she would probably keep these things as a souvenir.
Now they were the only two people in the cellar. Xu Youyou finished her last task and was about to leave when Old Lady Wu suddenly said, "Miss Xu, I... can I ask you for a favor? If you dream of my father again, please tell him that he is the best father in the world. If there is a next life, I still want to be his daughter..."
Xu Youyou felt a lump in her throat and nodded vigorously.
At this moment, an old voice came to her ears: "Girl, tell my daughter for me that she is also the best daughter in the world."
Xu Youyou opened her mouth and finally said what the old man said.
Mrs. Wu didn't seem to have any doubts about Xu Youyou's immediate message. Instead, her nose felt sore and tears streamed down her face. "Ms. Xu, you are a very capable person. Don't worry, I am half buried in the ground and I won't say anything nonsense outside."
Xu Youyou immediately understood that the old lady had guessed that she could hear the voice of the old man's soul.
She should have been afraid, but at this moment she felt nothing. If outsiders knew about people with such special abilities, they would usually be afraid of being sliced into pieces.
But Xu Youyou is now strong enough, and she has no doubt that she can protect herself.
As if they had resolved the last regret, Xu Youyou and the old lady had just come out of the cellar when their cell phone rang.
"Boss, the old man...his heart has stopped beating...the doctor said he's dead...this shouldn't be the case. The doctor said he could live for a few more years after last night's ordeal..."
On the phone, Liu Xiangyi's voice was full of panic.
When Mrs. Wu received the call, although her face was full of sadness, she didn't seem surprised at all.
"My condolences." Xu Youyou said softly.
Although Mrs. Wu was sad, she still had to support herself and take care of the old man's funeral.
Xu Youyou did not leave immediately, but stayed with her bodyguards to help the Wu family deal with the aftermath.
Although Wu Xiaoguang was a jerk, he wasn't one to mess around with funerals. He was very honest for a while, and when the funeral was over, he immediately said to the old lady, "Auntie, you're a married woman, you can't compete with me for the house and the cellar!"
He has almost accepted his fate now, knowing that he cannot get back the box that Xu Youyou took away. He doesn't know that the old lady also took a box from the cellar, and at this moment she is still thinking about renting the cellar to the crew to make a lot of money.
