C325 Will
C325 Will
Before everyone could walk out of their grief, there was a huge funeral. The old lady was the only elder of the four big families in Rongcheng who was still alive. Many people from the upper class would attend this funeral. The grand funeral cast a shadow on Yu Xiaowen's heart.
Because she had heard a lot of bad rumors.
Su Zhizhang, Su Pingting and the others actually openly tried to get connections at the funeral and asked them to stand on the side to fight for the inheritance of the Su family!
This was not only disrespecting the deceased, but also causing the Su family to lose face in the entire upper class of Rongcheng!
However, Su Zhizhang and Su Pingting did not care. They only wanted to obtain the greatest benefits in the competition for the inheritance. Yu Xiaowen finally understood why the old lady had said those words to her before she died.
Obviously, she knew better than anyone what her children were like. They were all prepared for it!
On the other hand, Yu Xiaowen felt sad for the old man. She had not even been buried yet and they were in such a hurry to fight for the inheritance. It was likely that when the old lady was sick, they had gone too far!
Fortunately, the old lady had made preparations in advance!
Yu Xiaowen thought that after the funeral ended, she would go to the study room of the old residence to take out the will so that they would not continue to embarrass the Su family. She was afraid that others would not know that without the old lady, the Su family would be like a pile of loose sand, which would provoke the opponents of the Su family to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
However, Yu Xiaowen did not have the time to tell Su Qiyang about the will. Recently, he had been so busy with the funeral that he almost could not close his eyes. She could not bear to give him more trouble, so she thought that she should get the will first.
During the funeral, they all lived in the old residence.
After taking a breather, the relatives left one after another. The Su family family had a chance to sit together. It was time to reveal their true colors and officially start the fight for the inheritance.
Yu Xiaowen expected that this moment would arrive very soon. In the morning, she had the housekeeper send Yu Tong and Qing'an back to the villa. She did not want the two children to see it. There was such a dark place in Su family. One side.
In the living room, the family of the Su family sat on the Italian leather sofa around the mahogany tea table. With just one look, they could clearly see that Su Qiyang and Su Lyi were on the same side. The rest of the Su family were on the same side.
After the butler served them tea, he left. No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Yu Xiaowen sat on the right side of Su Qiyang. Seeing his cold and emotionless face, she guessed that he must have been hurt by everyone. She quietly stretched out her hand and covered Su Qiyang's hand on the back. Just like she promised the old lady, she accompanied him and supported him.
Su Qiyang felt something strange on his hand and then looked at Yu Xiaowen. She gave him a silent smile. Su Qiyang was stunned for a moment and then smiled. The big hand with clear joints turned around and connected with her ten fingers.
Su Pingting sat across from him. She occupied a double sofa by herself. She could clearly see the trick between the two of them. She frowned in disgust and took the lead to start the conversation.
She said, "I don't want anything else. I only want 6% of the annual dividends from the old residence and Su's. "
This was indeed not much!
She did not want any shares. As long as the dividends were distributed, it was still considered restrained. However! Yu Xiaowen remembered clearly that the Su family's old residence was the largest residence in the entire Imperial Water Bay. And the Imperial Water Bay was the most expensive place in the Rongcheng. It would cost at least a few hundred million, and she might not even be willing to sell it!
The significance of the old residence's existence surpassed everything else. Su Pingting was not in the country all year round, so what did she want the old residence for?
Yu Xiaowen could not understand.
Not long after her voice fell, Su Zhizhang said, "I have no objections!"
Su Yanran hesitated for a moment and also said, "I also have no objections!"
Were they going to vote to split the inheritance, or had they already discussed how to split the meat of Su family? Were they just going to exclude Su Qiyang? Yu Xiaowen looked at Su Qiyang. He looked down at the ground and did not have any intention to speak.
But Su Lyi could not help it and said, "I don't agree. "
Su Yanran's face was stern as she lectured him, "You have no right to speak here!"
"Why should I? I am also a Su family!" Su Lyi raised his hand, unconvinced, and said, "I secretly vote against it. "
Su Yanran looked at him coldly and said, "You are already the CEO of Su's Group, what else do you want? Besides, even if you object, what's the use? Three against one, you still have no right to speak!"
When Su Lyi heard this, he immediately urged: "Brother, you also raise your hand. I know you don't agree to give the old residence to someone else. The old residence is Grandma's hard work. If you give it to someone else, they will definitely sell it. I don't want to sell the old residence. "
Before Su Qiyang could say anything, Su Pingting scolded, " You brat. Who told you that I want to sell the old residence? It's a branch family now, not an old residence!"
Su Lyi straightened his neck and questioned, "Then you dare swear that you will never sell the old residence in your lifetime?"
"You!" Su Pingting's words were poor.
Su Lyi did not want to let her go and said, "I heard that you want to sell the old residence to the Jun family, but the price is not settled yet!"
"Nonsense!" Su Pingting scolded and said again without any money, "Who told you!"
"Jun Family's Second Miss!" Su Lyi said.
These words directly confirmed Su Pingting's determination to sell the old residence. Her face almost turned the color of pig liver.
What Su Lyi said was right. She wanted to sell the old residence. In her heart, she knew very well that it was useless even if she wanted too much of Su's's shares. Once the old lady died, she would most likely not return to the country. Therefore, she might as well sell the old residence and directly cash it into her British account.
However, she wanted to sell it for 1 billion, but the Jun Family was only willing to give 500 million, not even giving her the chance to bargain.
"Big Sister, didn't you say you want to leave the old residence with a thought? Why are you selling it now?" Su Yanran asked.
Su Pingting glared at Su Lyi, blaming him for revealing her plan.
She unhappily said, "What is it? Don't tell me you also want the old residence? If you can guarantee that you won't sell the old residence, I'll give it to you! "
She said it straightforwardly because she clearly knew that Su Yanran did not like the old residence. What she wanted was the Su family's business and connections in the capital. She was married to the capital, and her husband was a high official. His career was at its peak, so it was impossible for him to develop the Rongcheng.
Sure enough, Su Yanran did not say anything.
The living room fell into silence again. Su Zhizhang faintly opened his mouth and said: "What's the use of us talking about this here? Didn't the old lady leave a will? Just follow the arrangement of the will, that's enough! "
Will?
Yu Xiaowen looked at Su Zhizhang instinctively. How did he know about the existence of the will? She was sure that when the old lady told her about it, she did not seem to have told anyone else about it.
Su Qiyang felt her mood change. He tilted his head and asked her softly, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xiaowen heard Su Zhizhang arguing with Su Pingting, who did not seem to know about the existence of the will. She answered him in a low voice, "The old lady only told me about the will before she died. "
"Where is the will?" Su Qiyang did not know about the will either. He had been silent all this time, waiting for Su Zhizhang and the others to give themselves away so that he could hit them.
He wouldn't allow the Su family to be destroyed in their hands, but the old lady didn't leave anything for him before she passed away, so he could only rely on himself.
He never thought that the old lady would be fully prepared.
"Second brother, you're too mean. Why didn't you tell us about the will in advance!" They didn't know that there was such a thing when they were discussing it in private.
Su Pingting and Su Yanran looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. If the distribution of property in the will did not go according to their wishes, then they would not act according to the will easily.
Su Zhizhang could clearly see the exchange between them. He coughed twice and said, "I just did not have time to say it. If you have something to say, just wait until after reading the will!"
"Wait!" Su Qiyang suddenly shouted to stop.
Su Zhizhang frowned and looked at him. He said, "The will was personally made by the old lady. You don't agree? It was useless. If you don't agree, then go talk to the lawyer! "
Su Qiyang looked at him coldly and said, "I want the lawyer to witness the entire process of the will being announced. "
"Okay, just call me that. Can I fake it?" Su Zhizhang laughed arrogantly and proudly. "If you don't get anything, don't cry!"
Su Qiyang's face was covered with a layer of frost.
Very quickly, the Su family's special law division arrived. The living room of the old residence was very big. Even if there were more than twenty people, they would be able to completely digest it.
The butler arranged for the lawyers to sit in a row at the long dining table in the dining room. At the same time, it was convenient for them to read the documents.
"Since the lawyer is here, the will is in the study room. Send someone to follow me to get the will. " Su Zhizhang said.
Yu Xiaowen's eyebrows jumped. What was going on?
The old lady's death meant that Su Qiyang would inherit the Su family. It was obvious that Su Zhizhang already knew the contents of the will. He shouldn't be so proactive.
She was at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Second Uncle, can I come with you to get it?"
Su Zhizhang had always disliked her. Now that the old lady was gone, no one would protect her. Her words were even more brainless as she scolded. "Who do you think you are? Your surname is Su?"
Yu Xiaowen reached out her hand to hold Su Qiyang who was about to flare up and said neither servile nor overbearing, "I indeed do not believe in Su, but the old lady is on her deathbed and told me about the will, so I have to follow to confirm it. "
Su Zhizhang's heart skipped a beat. He was frightened by the furious Su Qiyang, but he still did not want Yu Xiaowen to follow him and said, "No. . . "
But halfway through his words, the chief lawyer said, "Mr. Su, the old lady also told us that when the will is announced, Madam Yu must be present. "
Su Zhizhang's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He said angrily, "You are ruthless!"
Yu Xiaowen did not bother with him and stood up to follow. Su Pingting quickly said, "I want to see too!"
"If I want to see, I want to see. With the lawyer around, can I still do anything?" Su Zhizhang muttered and led the way in front.
Yu Xiaowen watched Su Zhizhang open the safe in the old lady's study the whole time. He took out his will from the safe and compared it with the old lady's handwriting and stamp. After confirming that there was no mistake, she went downstairs to announce the will.
Her expression changed from the moment she saw the will.
