Chapter 26 A Card

1918 Words
As soon as they landed in Yun City, Su Qinglan took a taxi together with her grandma to the countryside where she lived. Although it was called countryside, it was actually a suburban area. After returning to the countryside, the people in the countryside all greeted grandma with a smile. The greeting continued along the way. Then more than half an hour passed. Finally, they returned home. After turning on the electric kettle to boil water, grandma pulled Su Qinglan to her room. In fact, Su Qinglan was also a little curious about what grandma wanted to give her despite a journey of thousands of miles back here. Along the way, grandma was very mysterious. Moreover, on the plane, Su Qinglan had asked grandma whether she wanted to live with Su Qinglan in Imperial Capital. Grandma agreed. They wouldn't have come back. However, grandma insisted on coming back here, saying that there was something important that must be given to Su Qinglan. That was why Su Qinglan and grandma had this trip to the countryside. Grandma pulled Su Qinglan into the room and asked her to take down the Chinese scroll hung on the wall, which was a painting of Willow Branch Guan Yin. After taking down the painting, Su Qinglan was asked to remove the ceramic tile with orchid patterns on the back of the painting. Looking at the ceramic tile, Su Qinglan fell silent. How could this tile be removed? Grandma must be kidding. However, being unable to dissuade grandma, Su Qinglan could only try to remove this tile. Yet Su Qinglan raised her eyebrows once she touched the tile. It was not pasted, but just hung there. Su Qinglan removed the tile. Under the tile was an iron box. She handed the box to grandma. Grandma took the iron box and waited for Su Qinglan to come down before opening it. Seeing grandma acting so mysteriously, Su Qinglan felt funny and guessed. Could it be grandma's private money in the box? How cautious grandma was! While Su Qinglan was feeling a little amused, grandma took out a card and a document from the iron box and handed them to Su Qinglan. "Here you are. The document is the inheritance your mother left for you and I give you this card." Su Qinglan froze. She was curious about the inheritance her mother left for her. What was that? Su Qinglan took the document but did not take the card. "Grandma, I will take the inheritance my mother left for me, but this is your card. I can't accept it. Besides, I'm not short of money. Please keep it yourself!" Grandma looked at the card in her hand that was refused by Su Qinglan and smiled. Many people tried hard to get the card, but her granddaughter refused it without hesitation. It was really... "Put it away and I'll tell you later." Grandma shook her head and smiled. She pressed the card into Su Qinglan's hands. "This card does not have money. It is the symbol of identity." Grandma's words confused Su Qinglan. Su Qinglan didn't understand what her grandma was talking about. Could that card have a special background? Grandma patted Su Qinglan's hand and took her to sit down on the sofa in the living room. While slowly making tea for Su Qinglan, grandma began to talk about the background of this card, "This card was originally a symbol of special status and right in the organization where your grandfather and I were in. I shouldn't have given you the card now. "But after this incident, I feel that it is better to give this card to you for safekeeping. If one day I accidentally die or this card is lost, it will be a loss." When grandma said this, there was a trace of nostalgia in her eyes. On hearing what grandma said, Su Qinglan was rather curious about this card that was completely black and only had a golden frame. Just now, Su Qinglan thought that this card was just a bank card. But now, after carefully looking at it, she found that the texture of the card was better than that of bank cards. There were no patterns like those on bank cards but only a number "1" marked on the left side. "I'm old. I almost forgot about one important thing. That's why people say that the old are likely to be forgetful. I'm a case in point." Grandma took out another piece of paper from the box and handed it to Su Qinglan. "If you encounter some problems you can't resolve, take this card to the place and ask people there for help." Su Qinglan was confused by those words. What was this card used for? Grandma's description confused Su Qinglan. "Grandma, what on earth was the card used for?" Su Qinglan put the card in front of grandma with a suspicious look. Grandma compressed her lips and hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and laughing. "Anyway, it won't do a disservice to you. Just take it. But don't easily show this card to others. Take good care of it and keep it. Only when extremely serious things happen can you use this card." When grandma said these words, there was only a look of caution and reassurance on her face. Su Qinglan originally didn't take it seriously. However, when she met grandma's firm gaze, she was stunned for a moment and then nodded. "Okay, I get it." Grandma patted Su Qinglan's hand in relief and emphasized again, "This card is from someone extremely powerful. The original owner of it is even more powerful than the current Gu Corporation. Therefore, when you are in the trouble in the future, you can seek the help of its owner." That was all grandma could say to Su Qinglan. In fact, grandma hoped that her dear granddaughter would lead a smooth and healthy life without any disasters. Yet she worried that some accidents might happen to Su Qinglan. Therefore, she gave Su Qinglan the card in case she might need it one day. Those old fellows owed her and her husband a great favor. In grandma's mind, the value of the card was enough to attract those people. In this case, if Su Qinglan was in danger and asked those people for help, they would naturally give a hand. Of course, just the value of the card and the favor those people owed her and her husband were naturally not enough to attract those people to help Su Qinglan. The card also contained information on their connections in the organization. To be precise, it can help to mobilize people loyal to her and her husband in the organization. This was the main reason why she was so confident that her granddaughter could get help. But this organization was too dangerous. Grandma did not want Su Qinglan to get entangled in matters related to the organization. So she repeatedly cautioned Su Qinglan that this card should only be used when there was no way out. Su Qinglan put away the card carefully before looking down at the document in her hand. Grandma said that Su Qinglan's mother left the document for Su Qinglan. But haven't her mother already given her the shares of Su Corporation? Didn't her mother only have Su Corporation's shares? Then this document was... Su Qinglan could not help but open the folded document. When she saw the words on the document, she was surprised. Su Qinglan did not know that her mother had done so many things for her. This document could ensure that Su Qinglan would not have to worry about her living for the rest of her life, and that she could take back the property that belonged to her. Thinking that her mother transferred all the shares under her name to Su Qinglan, Su Qinglan felt a lump in her throat, with eyes turning red-rimmed. Grandma hugged Su Qinglan and comforted her softly, "Good girl, this belongs to you. Don't cry. Your mother had always trusted you." Su Qinglan had always been brooding over her mother's death. If she hadn't been immersed in her own matters, perhaps her mother wouldn't have died. "Grandma, I'm fine." Su Qinglan collected herself and forced a smile. "Your safety is the most important thing at any time." "I know." Su Qinglan nodded. Su Qinglan took the earliest flight home with the document and the card. As soon as Su Qinglan got off the plane, she saw Gu Jinchi and Gu Yize in the crowd. They were looking for her eagerly. Gu Jinchi and Gu Yize wore the same suit and stood out in the crowd like cranes in a flock of chickens. They were even more eye-catching than stars. Someone around them even secretly took pictures with their mobile phones. When Gu Jinchi saw Su Qinglan, his eyes lit up. He took several steps forward, but then stopped. Gu Yize, on the other hand, shouted excitedly, "Mommy!" He rushed over like a bullet. Su Qinglan squatted down right away and enjoyed the warm embrace of her son. Gu Yize's small body was hot. Su Qinglan couldn't resist burying her head on his shoulder to relax for a moment. Gu Jinchi walked over and asked softly, "Are you tired?" Su Qinglan shook her head, picked up Gu Yize and walked out. They three were all good-looking. Some people who didn't know the situation thought they were stars and started taking pictures. Su Qinglan and Gu Yize sat in the back seat of the car. Gu Jinchi drove it. Noticing that Su Qinglan was in a bad mood, Gu Jinchi drove silently. "Mommy, I've come to pick you up. Are you touched?" Gu Yize asked, raising his bright face. Su Qinglan held his chubby face with both hands and rubbed it hard. Then, she kissed him. "Good boy." Gu Yize giggled and touched his face shyly. Su Qinglan suddenly felt someone was gazing at her. She looked up and met Gu Jinchi's deep eyes reflected in the rearview mirror. Su Qinglan blushed and shifted her eyes awkwardly. "Daddy, are you jealous of me?" Gu Yize showed off to Gu Jinchi. "Ahem, ahem, ahem." Gu Jinchi was surprised by Gu Yize's words, his eyes drifting to Su Qinglan's beautiful lips involuntarily. An embarrassing atmosphere haunted the car. Soon, they returned home. Gu Yize held Su Qinglan's hand and asked her to cook. He pouted pitifully, "Aunty Wang didn't cook well. I was so obedient today. Can't you reward me?" Su Qinglan agreed because she understood that it was pitiful for Gu Yize to be forced to eat so many things that he did not like in the morning. She directly went into the kitchen to cook. After dinner, Su Qinglan went to Gu Yize's room to tell him bedtime stories. Gu Yize suddenly asked, "Mommy, what kind of person is my grandma?" Su Qinglan was brought up short. She could not help but ask in a trembling voice, "Why do you ask this?" Gu Yize moved his eyes and said, "I think it must be because my grandma raised you well that you are so good, just like Mommy is raising me." Su Qinglan's tears fell uncontrollably. Thinking of what her mother had left for her, she felt even more guilty. "Yes, my mom is great." She murmured. Gu Yize didn't expect that his question would make Su Qinglan cry. He panicked.
