Chapter 1320: Chapter 1319 Accepting a Huge Inheritance 2
Ye Xingguang didn’t know who that aunt had fallen in love with and was stopped by her grandfather, but she wanted to soothe her grandfather’s pain: "I don’t blame you, there are no children in the world who blame their parents, you can let it go..."
Old Mr. Wang smiled and then took a ring off his thumb and handed it to Ye Xingguang: "Thank you, girl."
Ye Xingguang was embarrassed to accept it; the ring had a very vintage feel and seemed to be a valuable antique.
She thought that the old man might have wanted to give this ring to the aunt who had already passed away.
But Old Mr. Wang was not confused; he just hoped he could be confused: "Girl, I’ve never heard you call me Grandpa; does this old man have the blessing to hear you call me Grandpa?"
"Grandpa."
"You are a good girl. This ring was given by the husband to the granddaughter; you take it, from now on, it’s yours."
The members of the Wang’s Family standing nearby knew the weight of this ring and wanted to persuade Old Mr. Wang to think twice, but unfortunately, Old Mr. Wang had reached this point. The doctor said he might not last the night, so no one wanted to go against Old Mr. Wang’s wishes at this time.
Ye Xingguang couldn’t delay any longer: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Old Mr. Wang smiled contentedly and called out again: "Nanny..."
Then, he kept looking at Ye Xingguang, kept looking, until... the light went out, and the hand holding Ye Xingguang’s arm suddenly lost its strength.
The first to call out was Old Mrs. Wang: "Old man."
Immediately after, the doctor pushed everyone aside to check Old Mr. Wang’s breathing and heartbeat. In fact, there was no need to check, as the instruments beside him already showed everything. Old Mr. Wang was gone.
Suddenly, the room was filled with cries.
Ye Xingguang was dumbfounded; it was her first experience with an elder’s death, and her eyes were wet.
Fortunately, Ye Junqing quickly reacted, pulled her aside, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently: "Don’t be sad, Grandpa passed away very peacefully. He was ninety-three this year; this is a celebratory mourning."
But even though it was a celebratory mourning, Yi Yujian, standing nearby, was still crying uncontrollably.
Unlike Ye Xingguang, who had only met Old Mr. Wang a few times and wasn’t deeply attached, Yi Yujian had a much deeper relationship with Old Mr. Wang and found it hard to accept his passing.
Xia Yanyan was specially allowed to leave the sanatorium and came to the hospital dragging her sick body, but unfortunately, she was a step too late. Seeing Grandpa’s passing, Xia Yanyan also cried uncontrollably...
Old Mr. Wang was moved out of the room, and someone had already notified the funeral home. Soon, Old Mr. Wang was taken to the funeral home.
The family followed, and Ye Xingguang also went along.
At the funeral home, Yi Yujian pulled Ye Xingguang aside to talk: "The ring on your hand represents the interpretation of the Wang’s Family. From now on, you are the Family Head of the Wang’s Family."
"Ah?" Ye Xingguang wanted to take off the ring. It was too precious; she couldn’t accept it.
Yi Yujian stopped her: "Grandpa had no sons, only daughters, so whoever Grandpa gave this ring to could bear it. Grandpa gave you this ring in front of everyone as a sign of bequeathing the entire family legacy to you. Therefore, as the next Family Head of the Wang’s Family, you need to take responsibility for arranging the funeral. This is the responsibility of the Family Head."
Ye Xingguang suddenly felt lost; she didn’t know anything about the Wang’s Family’s situation. How could she be the Family Head?
Ye Junqing timely offered: "I’ll handle the funeral arrangements."
