We returned to Xiao’s house, the mourning hall had been removed, and the hall had resumed its usual routine.
It’s as if Dad is working or reading in the study at the moment, and he doesn’t know when he will walk out of it holding a teacup.
I stared at the study room upstairs in a daze. I don’t know when Xi Qingchuan is sitting across from me.
It is strange that our family announced that he was present, but I don’t care why he is there.
Since that incident happened yesterday, he has never looked at me again, and I have never looked at him.
Everyone sat down, and the lawyer didn’t even speak, Xiao Lingling said, “It’s weird. How did my father know that he was going to die suddenly? Why did he make a will?”
Xiao Shi raised her head and glared at her: “Can you shut up Xiao Lingling?”
“Am I wrong? How can anyone make a will in a good way?”
“Xiao Lingling.” The stepmother snorted her before shutting up.
I lowered my head and gnawed my fingernails unconsciously. Suddenly Lawyer Hai was calling my name and I came back to my senses. I looked down and saw that I had gnawed my fingernails bald.
I always like to bite my nails. This bad problem can’t be changed. My dad also told me several times that I always choose the habit of hurting myself when I struggle.
Thinking of Dad again, my heart aches dullly.
I looked up: “Lawyer Hai.”
“Miss Xiao, are you listening?”
“Yeah.” Actually I’m not listening, I don’t know where he is talking.
He shook the paper in his hand: “I have read the opening remarks, and now I am reading the most important content of the will.”
I felt that the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. Xiao Lingling was sitting upright, with his back straight like a steel plate.
I have always felt that Xiao Lingling’s body is like a squid, with no bones, and he is paralyzed wherever he goes. It is rare to sit so straight today.
I nodded to show that I was listening carefully. Lawyer Hai took a deep look at me and continued reading: “The Xiao family mansion belongs to me and my current wife Hua Yun. After I pass away, the mansion belongs to my wife Hua Yun. She has For sale and residency rights, my three daughters have residency rights. If the real estate is sold, the amount of income will belong to Huayun alone.”
This mansion covers a considerable area. It not only has a four-story mansion, but also a large garden and artificial lake. If it is really sold, it will be a lot of money.
Because the land belongs to my father.
When I saw my stepmother, her expression was calm, but the corners of her lips slightly curled up to indicate that she was satisfied with the decision of her father, but it was not surprising.
Lawyer Hai continued to read: “The Xiaoshi company has always been managed by me. After my death, it will be managed by the company’s veteran Liu Ji. The youngest daughter, Xiao Sheng, graduated with a finance major, can join the Xiaoshi company and ask my son-in-law to assist the little girl.
I still lowered my head, and the opposite Xi Qingchuan didn’t move even when he moved, and the whole figure seemed to be still.
“Why can Xiao Sheng enter the Xiao family? Before I had to enter, my father would not let me go. I also graduated with a major in finance.” Xiao Lingling interrupted.
“Ms. Xiao, please don’t worry. When I finish reading the will, I will announce the company’s equity distribution right now.” Lawyer Hai said: “I will control 100% of the company’s equity, and now I will allocate 20% of the equity to My wife Huayun, eldest daughter Xiao Lingling 10%, second daughter Xiao Shi 10%, younger daughter Xiao Sheng 30%, and the remaining 30% of the shares reserve the right to distribute.”
After Lawyer Hai finished reading these, the living room was considered to be fried.
In fact, I was also very surprised. The stepmother seemed to be as calm as before: “Lawyer Hai, I heard it wrong, right? What did you just say?”
“If you guys don’t hear clearly, then I will read the equity allocation again. You will get 20% of the shares in Xiao’s enterprise. Miss Xiao Lingling and Miss Xiao Shi will each get 10%. Miss Xiao. Sheng is 30%, and the remaining 30% reserves the right to distribute.”
“What, what are you talking about!” Xiao Lingling jumped up: “My mother is only 20, I only have 10, but this wild species is 30%. Have you made a mistake about Lawyer Hai? ”
“Miss Xiao, please pay attention to your own words, Miss Xiao Sheng is your sister.”
“Are you two more!” Xiao Lingling cried sharply: “My dad’s will is fake, he won’t allocate it like this, ten percent is nothing, I’m the boss of this family!”
“Sit down Xiao Lingling!” Stepmother scolded her: “Listen to Lawyer Hai and finish reading!”
“Mom, did you hear that? Xiao Sheng can enter the Xiao Clan and have 30% equity, which is as much as you and I combined!”
“you shut up!”
My head was buzzing with noise, and I raised my head to explain something, but I didn’t know what to say.
He ran into the gaze of Xi Qingchuan on the opposite side, and he flashed past me with a seemingly non-smiling smile.
I don’t understand the meaning of his smile, I have nothing to say and bow my head again.
Lawyer Hai was quietly waiting for the restlessness in the living room to calm down: “There are also two properties under the name of Xiao, one of which is owned by the company, and the other one is assigned to the name of my little daughter Xiao Sheng from now on, which is owned by my private account. The cash and securities all belong to the younger daughter Xiao Sheng.”
Attorney Hai finished reading, and sent a photocopy of the will to each of us: “This is the entire content. Take a closer look at you. The following is the autograph of Mr. Xiao Yuanxiao. All the content is true and valid.”
I took the will given to me by Lawyer Hai. I didn’t read the other contents, only the signature of the father at the bottom.
The two characters Xiaoyuan were like ink paintings. At that time, I always copied but couldn’t learn a half image. I said that my dad could apply for a patent, and no one else could learn it.
It was my father’s signature, and my thumb rubbed the two words lightly, feeling the uneven markings rubbing back and forth on the pad of my finger.
“This is fake, Xiao is far from able to do this!” The stepmother threw the photocopy on the ground: “How could my husband leave everything to that wild species!”
“Mrs. Xiao.” Attorney Hai said in a very calm voice: “The things I announced were read by Mr. Xiao himself, and then I wrote it down. There is a recording here.”
“I want to listen to the recording.”
“The recording is in the safe and won’t be taken out when it’s not a last resort.”
“I won’t admit it if I don’t listen to the recording!”
“Mrs. Xiao, do you accept that the will is already in force.” Lawyer Hai put away the original: “I will still put the original of the will in the safe. As for the photocopy, I don’t have any opinion on keeping it.”
“Haihe, don’t go.” The stepmother stood up, and I could see that she was very excited: “Xiao Yuan would not do this. He has no reason to treat me like this. I have tolerated that woman’s daughter is always there. My eyelids dangled for seven years, and he still treated me like this!”
“Twenty percent of the shares is not too small.” Lawyer Hai said mildly, but neither overbearing nor overbearing: “Mrs. Xiao, please respect Mr. Xiao’s choice.”
