Chapter 1132: Old Friends Meet
Although Gu Weihai spoke with fervor, when his words reached Gu Chuanshan’s ears, there was no reaction; his eyes were still filled with skepticism. "Second granduncle, you also know how many generations of effort the Gu family has put into this old house, including Grandfather, my father, you, me, and Gu Fan. We’ve guarded it generation after generation, securing this old house firmly in our hands. And now, you’re asking me to simply hand it over?" Gu Chuanshan was indignant, seemingly unswayed by the fact that Gu Weihai was his elder and ready to confront him at any moment.
Gu Weihai’s expression darkened. "Yes, you’re right. It took several generations of effort for us to own that old house. But don’t forget why we wanted it in the first place. We believed the Destiny Stone could bring endless prosperity to our Gu family. But look at the life Gu Fan leads now; it’s far from what we envisioned. It’s time for our family to let go."
Gu Chuanshan shook his head, a look of difficulty on his face. "Let go of the efforts made by several generations of our family? How could I face Grandfather and my father after that?"
In response, Gu Weihai adopted a serious demeanor. "Don’t worry, I will take the responsibility for this matter. When we see them later, I will explain everything to them. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, I made the greatest sacrifices to acquire the old house. Now, as the elder, I have the right to decide its fate."
"This..." Gu Chuanshan hesitated, logically seeing no need to cling to the old house, but emotionally unable to part with it.
Gu Weihai patiently advised him. "Chuanshan, do you know why our family originally wanted the old house? Even to the point of making significant sacrifices, all for the sake of our descendants. Our actions weren’t meant to hold onto the house, but to ensure a better life for our future generations, right? Don’t you wish for Gu Fan to return to an ordinary life?"
"Of course, I do," sighed Gu Chuanshan. "You’re right, uncle. Everything our family has done was for the sake of our descendants."
"I’m glad you understand," Gu Weihai felt assured that this time he had managed to change Gu Chuanshan’s mind. Just when Gu Weihai thought the discussion could be concluded successfully, he saw Gu Chuanshan’s resolute expression.
