Chapter 1023: Treasure Found
Xu Huizhen sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After returning to the island, Xu Huizhen really wanted to see her biological parents and grandparents.
Whether it is marriage or work, she is in Beijing. Xu Huizhen comes home less often, so she cherishes every opportunity to go home.
After Xu Huizhen left, Mrs. Fu sighed, "Listening to what Meilan and Huizhen said reminded me of Feng Lazi in A Dream of Red Mansions. She really has a clever tongue!"
Madam Fu frowned slightly: "Our Fu family is different. Those who live a life of idleness and wait for death, without striving for progress, are not worthy of being a member of the Fu family!"
Liu Meilan blinked and smiled, "Grandma, you're just describing my personality as rather aggressive! Our Fu family is indeed different. It's because of your strict education of your descendants that the family lineage can continue!"
Madam Fu glared at her husband and said, "This old man has no interest in life at all!"
Mr. Fu snorted: "You guys chat, I'm going to go outside to find someone to play chess with!"
After Mr. Fu left, the two children woke up one after another.
Liu Meilan packed up the child, took her things, and went to the yard with the old lady to play with the child.
Madam Fu whispered, "Meilan, don't think too much! Grandpa is just like that, he doesn't speak well!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Grandma, Grandpa is so old, and although he seems to be retired, he is actually still thinking about the future of the Fu family and hopes that his descendants can make progress! We, the younger generation, understand!"
Madam Fu felt warm in her heart: "As elders, we hope for the best for the younger generation, but we are also afraid that if we say or do too much, it will make the younger generation unhappy and give rise to a rebellious mentality."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Grandma, they say 'An elder in the family is like a treasure,' and you and Grandpa are the treasures of the Fu family. You may not understand new things as well as you do, but your life experience and wisdom are what we younger generations lack."
"We have our own judgment. We know your and Grandpa's good intentions, and we know what's best to do. There are some things we haven't thought through, and we still have to rely on Grandpa and Grandma to give us some pointers!"
Teaching by example is more than just a simple statement. It requires continuous effort over time, and it requires selecting bright children at home and focusing on their learning.
Just like when his three grandsons were still underage, Grandpa Liu not only disciplined them strictly, but also gave them careful guidance in learning and cognition.
The reason why Liu Yiwen was allowed to go into business and not into the military or politics was because he could not bear the hardships of being in the military and did not have the brains for politics. In the end, he could only do some business and earn some money to live, and he had to be kept by their side and looked after.
Liu Meilan held her chin and wondered what kind of job she would have if the baby had not been taken away by mistake?
She didn't know the answer, but there was one thing Liu Meilan was sure of: she would definitely be admitted to the top university.
Madam Fu looked at Liu Meilan with a kind look in her eyes: "Child, no wonder the elders like you. Meilan, you are really good."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's because our elders are so kind to us. If we combine two good things into one, it will naturally be even better."
With the company of Liu Meilan and the children, Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu enjoy life here very much.
What makes them most willing to stay here is the pleasant air and climate. Unlike the north, where it is too cold to go out in winter.
It often snows in the north in winter, and the ground is slippery. The old couple are always worried about falling when walking outside.
But it’s different here. The weather is still warm, and there are birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere.
They sleep very well every day, without any dreams, and can sleep until dawn, feeling refreshed when they wake up.
Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu had said they were going back north for the Lunar New Year. After all, they still had many old friends and connections there. It would be inappropriate for them to be away from home while someone came to visit during the Lunar New Year.
But they will come here again next winter.
Compared to Liu Meilan's comfort, Duke Ross was extremely excited.
He was absolutely certain that this logbook was left by his ancestors. The code was still there, and the family's hidden assets were hidden in this logbook.
Following the formula passed down in the family, he calculated a place where the Ross family's real wealth was hidden.
There had been intelligence reports that China had salvaged a large amount of gold from the seabed, and he had worried that the gold belonged to his family. Now, after seeing the answer deduced in the logbook, he realized that the wealth was hidden in a remote corner of one of his family's territories. No wonder they had searched for so many years without success.
Duke Ross breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leo. "Leo, I've figured out the location. I'll leave by plane tomorrow. You personally lead the team to escort the ancestral remains back."
Leo nodded: "Okay, I will complete the task. You must take care of yourself!"
Ross smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm safe. Without me, no one will know where the treasure is."
Leo was delighted. Being able to accompany Duke Ross this time showed that the Duke trusted him the most. Perhaps he would get a larger share when the family assets were distributed in the future.
The next day, Duke Ross returned with his team, bringing his belongings with him. He only left behind the logbook; all the other items he brought back from China were displayed in the family museum.
This museum is open to the public and charges an entrance fee.
Most tourists were willing to come in and take a look. The treasures brought from China attracted many visitors. Everyone's attention was focused on the exquisite antiques, while the family logbook treasured by the Duke of Ross was ignored. From the outside, it looked like just a worn diary.
Only the Duke of Ross knew that the diary contained the family's true treasure. After returning home, he worked and vacationed as usual, and was not in a hurry to look for the treasure.
It was not until a week later that Duke Ross came alone to a forest in the family territory.
Based on the information he got from the logbook, he found a cave entrance.
He opened the keyhole above the cave entrance, which was covered by dirt and weeds, and then put the family crest on it, and the door of the cave slowly opened.
Duke Ross did not go in immediately, but waited outside for a while before walking in with a torch.
After walking through a long corridor, Duke Ross arrived inside. Inside the vast underground palace, there were gold bricks and piles of gold coins...
In addition, there are many various cultural relics stored here.
Duke Ross had a smile on his face, the family's glory could finally continue.
After coming out of the underground palace, Duke Ross finally felt relieved.
He came to the church in the territory again. After the death of the Ross family, they would be buried in the basement of the church. The coffin belonging to the Duke of Nice was also underneath.
Duke Ross prayed devoutly in the church, thanking his ancestors for their hard work, which allowed the descendants to enjoy such prosperity and wealth for so many years. He secretly vowed in his heart that they would work harder in the future to make the family even stronger.
After the prayer ended and he opened his eyes again, a pair of eyes suddenly flashed in Duke Ross's mind. They were Liu Meilan's eyes.
An idea suddenly came to his mind: he should cooperate more with Liu Meilan in the future. He wanted to see how much shock this legendary woman could bring to him.
