Chapter 642 – A Good Friend

"Tell them, that I will be in attendance." Grandfather Fu’s response came after a few moments of silence.

The next day, the Bai family confirmed the passing of their family’s matriarch. The public moaned with them and looked forward to welcoming them back to burial their mother.

The next week, the Bai family returned to bury old Mrs. Bai. It was a given that some prominent families graced the burial ceremony, as the Bai’s had no fight or disagreement with any of them before leaving.

Bai Jun ruining their reputation was the only thing that forced them to leave.

As for Bai Jun, many speculated if she would attend her grandmother’s burial, and some even messaged her, asking about it, but she totally snubbed them.

When the Fu family were asked if they had invited anyone from Bai Fen’s family or either invited Bai Fen herself and Bai Jun, they said that they would not invite them, as they were no longer a part of the family.

For being the perpetrators that destroyed the Bai’s reputation, they were forbidden to go anywhere near them.

When Bai Jun saw the response, she snorted and said to herself, ’As if I would want to be near any of you.’

Old Mrs. Bai’s burial was successful, and the Bai’s we’re grateful that the Fu family came to offer their condolences and to give them moral support, for which they were truly grateful.

A few days after Old Mrs. Bai had been laid to rest, the Bai’s left the country again, but before then, they had a deep conversation with Grandfather Fu.

"Do you not plan on coming back again?" Grandfather Fu asked while giving a glance to the remaining members of the Bai family especially, to the first son, as he was now the head of the entire family.

The man glanced back at the old man and replied respectfully, "How can we return when we don’t have anything left here?"

"You still have something here, and it’s very important that you should at least hold on to it." Grandfather Fu replied.

Bai Jun’s father asked, "What is it, General Fu?"

Grandfather Fu released a such before responding to that question, "You still have memories here. Don’t leave this place because of the troubles others caused for you. Your family has a deep memory here, and I believe that you can’t just ignore it."

"Sir, you are right, but given our current situation, we can’t afford to stay here. We can’t even afford to buy a big home for our family, as our new business hasn’t grown to the level to afford it." The third son of the Bai family replied.

Grandfather Fu said almost immediately, "I am not going to tell you what to do, but I just want to let you know that, you still have your mansion intact. I bought it from the businessman you sold it to, so you can always have it back."

This sudden revelation came as a shock to the entire Bai Family as they never would have expected that the old man would buy their home back for them.

Grandfather Fu did this out of the bond between him and his dearest late old friend, old Mr. Bai. He helped not grudge for the Bai’s so he wanted to help them by at least securing their home back for them.

The Bai’s were truly grateful for the old man’s kind gestures. It was as if he knew that they regretted selling their home which held such great memories to them.

Grandfather Fu didn’t need them thanking him, and in other to stop them from doing that, he had to threaten them.

"I would truly be unhappy if you keep thanking me."

After saying that to them, he signaled Butler Li to come over with the things in his hands, which happened to be a big envelope.

Grandfather Fu took it from Butler Lu and passed it to the first son of the Bai family.

"Here is the document to your Bai family’s mansion, and the keys are in there. Any time you change your mind to come back, you will have a place to stay, and no more house renting."

The Bai family couldn’t help thanking the old man again after accepting the big gift he had just bestowed on them.

"General, our Bai family can’t thank you enough for the sacrifices you have done for us, and for your bug heart for accommodating us even in our wrongs. We thank you, and we promise to come through for the members of the Fu family in the of need."

This time around, Grandfather Fu received their heartfelt gratitude, before personally seeing them out the door.

Now back to his study, Butler Lu said to the old man, "Sir, the Bai’s forever remember the help you have offered to them. Even your dearest friend, Mr. Bai will surely be in tears of joy wherever he is."

Grandfather Fu was quiet for a moment before replying in a sad tone, "Bai is indeed lucky to have me as a friend because I’m truly the best. It is not easy to meet and have that one friend that will stay through for you, through thick and thin. And I have always existed for my children and generations to come, to have one at least one friend like me."

Grandfather Fu has always been a strong one, and it was rare to see him emotionally like today. Even his Butler was touched and was almost moved to tears, but he had to comport himself.

"Sir, I supposed that you are worried about your children and grandchildren. You really want them to have a good friend like you, who will always be on the lookout for them whether they are there or gone." Butler Li said as he identified the old man’s worry.

Grandfather Fu heaved a sigh. "I know this world is full of betrayal, but I hope they find the right people as friends.. Because having a good friend who is with you in the time of need is better than a brother who would not come through for you."
