Chapter 339: Chapter 339: 339 - Sending You Away_1

Feeling melancholic about what was to come, he became disheartened once more.

“Xiaotang, come here. This is for you,” Hai Zhiyuan said, handing her a bank card.

Hai Xiaotang was puzzled, “Grandpa, why are you giving me this?”

The old man explained, “You turned 20 today. You are an adult in my eyes, and it’s high time you learn to live independently. This is the pocket money I’ve saved up for you over the years. Use it slowly.”

Delighted, Hai Xiaotang picked up the card and asked mischievously, “Grandpa, how much pocket money is in here?”

“Not much, just five million.”

Hai Xiaotang jumped, “How much?!”

The old man chuckled, “What, is it not enough?”

“No!” Hai Xiaotang hastily shook her head. “Grandpa, why are you giving me so much money? Why would you give me so much all at once?”

She assumed it was probably hundreds of thousands.

She never expected there would be so much!

But Hai Zhiyuan said, “This is not much. It’s the wealth I’ve set aside for you to use throughout your life. It’s not really much.”

“Grandpa, why are you suddenly giving this to me?” Hai Xiaotang handed him back the card, “I don’t want it. I don’t want you to leave me any wealth. In the future, I’ll earn my own money. I’m even planning to support you. You don’t need to give me money.”

“You have to keep this. How can you manage without money when you are away from home?” Thinking of something, Hai Zhiyuan became somber again, “In the future, I can no longer be there to care for you. You’ll have to learn to take good care of yourself, understand?”

Stunned, Hai Xiaotang had a foreboding feeling.

“Grandpa, what are you talking about? What do you mean you can’t care for me? Where are you going?!”

“It’s not that I’m going somewhere, you have to leave me.”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes widened in shock, “Why?! Could it be because I’m marrying Dongfang Yu….”

“Xiaotang, you can’t marry him!” The old man cut her off seriously. “You two are not suitable. You won’t be happy if you are together. I would never let you choose that path, ruining your happiness.”

Hai Xiaotang was incredulous, “What exactly do you mean…”

Hai Zhiyuan gently caressed her head, “Good child, I have to send you away. It’s not safe for you here. Someone wants to kill you. I can’t let you face any danger. Promise me, you will never come back. Take it as my plea. You must never return. Xiaotang, leave this dangerous place, and everything here. Start your new life. You are young. You can’t be ruined like this.”

Hai Xiaotang was completely shocked. She held onto the old man’s arm in alarm.”Grandpa, where are you sending me? I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want to leave you!”

“Hai Xiaotang, you must leave!” Hai Zhiyuan said sternly, “Without my permission, you must not return. Do you hear me?”

Hai Xiaotang shook her head in distress, “I’m not leaving! Grandpa, I’m not going anywhere! I’m not afraid of danger. I don’t want to leave here!”

Hai Zhiyuan sighed. He suddenly looked toward the door, “When you leave, you must take good care of her. Don’t let her come back.”

“Rest assured, sir. We will take good care of Xiaotang.”

Hai Xiaotang turned in surprise and saw a woman standing in the doorway.

Seeing the woman’s face clearly, she paused. The woman seemed familiar, as if she’d seen her somewhere before.
