A Million Times for You (209)

She continued, "We can leave in peace. Xiaoning, listen to me. I have a safe inside a cabinet in my bedroom. It contains all of our life savings as well as the title deeds to all the property we own and the household registers. I can't use them anymore. You may have all of those things. Move your name back to the Gu family household register, the other members of the family wouldn't dare to say anything with you around to take charge. Look after the Gu family on our behalf from now on. I trust you. Now that your father and I are gone, you're the only kin Beicheng has left, apart from Mingxi. This might increase the burden on your shoulders, but you're the only person I can depend on. Promise me, alright?"

An Xiaoning agreed, "Okay. I promised Grandpa that I wouldn't leave the Gu family in the lurch during times of crisis. I'll make the same promise to you now."
