Because he was Elder Guan's eldest son, he was fearless. After his business was seriously affected, Elder Guan's second son had to report the truth. Elder Guan's grandfather was also resourceful. He directly called the police, and it didn't take long for Elder Guan's eldest son to be arrested.
The police specially asked Elder Guan how to deal with him. Elder Guan simply refused to recognize his relatives and let them handle the matter according to the law. So, he was sentenced to three years in prison. Before going to prison, Elder Guan shouted that he would ride a donkey and sing a song, telling his younger brother and sister to be careful, which scared them a lot.
They were really unlucky to have such a greedy boss. They wanted to share the family property and leave the capital as soon as possible, but Elder Guan didn't agree.
One day, half a year after Elder Guan was sent to prison, a baby girl appeared at the gate of the Guan family's house. She was now Guan Ruolan. There was a note in the pocket of the baby girl's small cotton-padded jacket, which said that she was Guan Yunjin's daughter.
At that time, cameras were not widely used. After asking around, they only knew that a beautiful woman passed by with a child in her arms in the early morning.
Although he wasn't sure if she was his real granddaughter, Elder Guan still took the initiative to raise her. Anyway, he didn't lack money. After Elder Guan was released from prison, at Elder Guan's request, he specially took them to do a paternity test. Only then did they find out that she was indeed his biological daughter.
Guan Yunjin stammered when he asked about Guan Ruolan's mother. He couldn't remember her for a while. After all, he had suffered in there for three years. Because of the farce that had happened before, his family had become indifferent to him. So, he didn't want to stay at home anymore. So, he asked Senior Guan for a sum of money and then went abroad. Because he had experienced these things personally, he had matured a lot. So, he had forgotten those harsh words from three years ago.
As for the second, third, and fourth sisters, they later split up a portion of the family's assets and went their separate ways, leaving the capital city, which was a sad place. Now, they had developed quite well, but each of them had their own homes and rarely gathered together.
Elder Guan was obsessed with medicine and didn't have the heart to manage the company. When Guan Ruolan came of age, he handed the company to her. Guan Ruolan couldn't be said to be a strong woman in the business world, so in these years, the company had been developing slowly. It didn't have the triumphant progress it had in the past, so it was like a normal but hopeful life.
In the past twenty years, the number of times Guan Yunjin came back could be counted on one hand. Most of the time, he called Elder Guan to ask for money. Elder Guan didn't want to maliciously blacken his reputation, so he simply didn't mention it. However, Guan Ruolan was full of curiosity. Through some elders, she gradually learned about her father's past. Thinking about it, it had been many years. Money was a small matter, but that prescription was the culmination of Elder Guan's painstaking efforts. He had always been brooding over it. As his daughter, Guan Ruolan also felt very guilty, so she had always been very filial to Elder Guan.
If it weren't for what had happened today, Elder Guan wouldn't have told us the inside story, and Guan Ruolan would still be kept in the dark. She also wouldn't have shared it with me.
After I finished listening to this long story, a myriad of emotions rose from the bottom of my heart. Sure enough, the heavens were fair to everyone. Although Guan Ruolan had lived a life of luxury since she was young, her parents' care and concern was practically a blank slate. I was the exact opposite. In the past, when I ate instant noodles, I would leave half of it to soak in water to drink. However, my parents' love for me was undeniable.
If they hadn't made up their mind to send me to the city to study, even if it meant borrowing money, I wouldn't have achieved what I had today. In fact, Guan Ruolan had opened her heart to me. She told me that the years she spent in my home were the happiest part of her life. Although it was a barren land, there were no unruly people, only a group of simple villagers.
"Brat, will you laugh at me?" Guan Ruolan raised her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Idiot, what's there to laugh at? You know my family's situation the best. At that time, when I brought you home, I was really scared. I was afraid that when you woke up, you would find that it was a run-down place, and leave without saying a word," I said angrily.
At that time, I just wanted to look at Guan Ruolan a few more times. I felt that just looking at her made me really happy.
"Pu."
Guan Ruolan revealed a smile, but it was only for a moment before it was replaced by an involuntary sadness.
"Xiao Lan Lan, although I am younger than you, there are still some things that I want to tell you. Actually, in life, there are many things that we can't change. We can only change ourselves and adapt to the environment as much as possible. Grandpa Guan's words are very reasonable. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are things that everyone has to experience step by step. Of course, you just have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side. I will shield you from the wind and rain, and I will overcome all obstacles." I took a deep breath and gazed at her beautiful eyes, then said unhurriedly. "Xiao Lan Lan, although I am younger than you, there are still some things that I want to tell you.
Another two lines of silent tears rolled down from Guan Ruolan's beautiful eyes. After saying that, she also knew that I was really helpless, otherwise, I wouldn't have used all sorts of excuses.
"Thank you, little brat." Guan Ruolan's heart was filled with warmth. Her face was grateful, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her heart.
After listening to Guan Ruolan's story, I could completely understand the father-daughter relationship between her and Elder Guan. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Elder Guan was her closest relative, even more than her parents.
Sigh, this kind of pain wasn't any less than what I felt when I lost my own flesh and blood.
I gradually understood why Elder Guan hated the Japanese that much. No matter if it was the prescription or the Diaoyutai issue, there were many similarities. In the end, the Japanese were thick-skinned, and they were shameless.
If possible, I would find time to develop a cure for cancer. At that time, I wouldn't sell it to the Japanese, and I would strictly control the distribution channels. That way, I could fulfill one of Elder Guan's wishes.
"Don't worry. No matter who did this, I will make him pay with his blood. He won't have a good death!" A cold light flashed in my eyes.
