Chapter 36: Chapter 36: An Unexpected Will

Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao were celebrating in the hotel, tipsy from drinking, when they heard the doorbell.

Zhou Zhaoguo went to open the door and saw Fang Anning standing at the door, he couldn’t help but ask with a cold face, "Why are you here?"

"Who is here?" asked Chen Fengjiao from inside.

Zhou Zhaoguo immediately sobered up from the alcohol and hurriedly lowered his voice to Fang Anning, "Leave quickly, don’t let Feng Jiao see you."

"My mom is here for treatment, I came to see her. Do you want to go and see her?" Fang Anning asked.

Zhou Zhaoguo’s expression froze, and he immediately said, "What does her being here for treatment have to do with me? We’ve already divorced, there’s no relation between us. Why should I go see her?"

"Have you never felt guilty towards her?" Fang Anning asked with a snort.

Zhou Zhaoguo replied, "Why should I feel guilty towards her? She was foolishly insistent on cutting off relations with her family to be with me. We’ve divorced, and she still insisted on having you, trying to trap me. Hmph, she herself refused to seek forgiveness from her family, alone enduring hardship raising you, it’s all her own deserved fate, what does it have to do with me?"

"Zhou Zhaoguo, you really haven’t changed at all, still as despicable and shameless as ever," said Fang Anning.

She really shouldn’t have held out hope.

She could understand him having no feelings for her, after all, she had no affection for him as a father.

But she thought, he might have a slight sense of guilt towards her mother. She thought too much, a scumbag will always be a scumbag; how could there be any sense of guilt?

"Get out of here quickly, don’t let Feng Jiao see you, otherwise, she will make a scene with me again," Zhou Zhaoguo drove her away again.

Fang Anning turned and left.

As she turned, she clenched her fists tightly and held back the tears in her eyes.

Zhou Zhaoguo returned, and Chen Fengjiao asked him who it was.

Zhou Zhaoguo said, "A waiter, I sent him away."

Chen Fengjiao was half believing, but had drunk a bit too much. She had no energy to verify, and just fell onto the bed to sleep.

Zhou Zhaoguo also lay down, thinking about Zhou Xueqin’s huge inheritance he would receive tomorrow, he couldn’t help but smile in his sleep.

The next day, Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao got up early and kept staring at the time on their phones.

Zhou Xueqin’s will was scheduled to be announced at ten in the morning.

They had been watching their phones since six in the morning, and at 9:30, they immediately got up and headed to Holy Mother Mary’s private hospital.

In the room, Zhou Xueqin was already waiting in her wheelchair, accompanied by a lawyer and officials from the notary office.

Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao entered, first greeted Zhou Xueqin, then sat down in the chairs to wait for Zhou Xueqin’s will to be announced.

"Since you are here, let’s proceed with the announcement," Zhou Xueqin slowly said.

Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao were thrilled, unable to control their facial expressions, revealing joyful smiles.

The lawyer began to announce the will.

"Now, I will announce Ms. Zhou Xueqin’s will. This will has been certified by the notary office. Ms. Zhou Xueqin was of sound mind, under no coercion or threat from anyone, and freely established this will, which has legal validity. Ms. Zhou Xueqin decided, after her death, to pass all her estate to her relative, Ms. Fang Anning."

When the lawyer read out the part about her relative, Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao’s eyes lit up.

However, upon hearing the name Fang Anning, both of them were stunned.

Immediately snapping back to reality, they pinched each other, thinking they were dreaming.

"What? How could it be that bastard?" Chen Fengjiao reacted first, standing up hysterically asking.

Zhou Zhaoguo also reacted, yelling, "Aunt, how do you know Fang Anning? Why give the inheritance to her instead of me? I’m your nephew."

"I consider her to be my nephew because you are my nephew. If you weren’t, she wouldn’t be my grandniece. You ask why? Fine, I’ll tell you why. It’s because of the jade cups; you didn’t find them, she did, and she personally brought them to me. I’m fulfilling my promise; whoever brings me the jade cups gets the inheritance. Actually, she is my daughter, so it’s also for you. Now, I am tired, the rest is for you to resolve."

Zhou Xueqin had someone push her away, leaving Fang Anning to handle the situation herself.

After Zhou Xueqin announced the will, Fang Anning walked in from outside.

Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao were shocked speechless.

They suddenly remembered the woman who had taken the jade cups, and upon further reflection, it indeed seemed to be Fang Anning.

Turns out, they had all been played by that cunning girl.

"Fang Anning, you little bitch, how dare you trick us?" Chen Fengjiao cursed furiously upon seeing Fang Anning enter.

Zhou Zhaoguo, too, was so angered that his face turned red. He strode over and raised his hand to hit her.

However, Fang Anning was no longer the timid young girl she used to be.

She grabbed Zhou Zhaoguo’s wrist with one hand, forcefully shook him off, and said, "You still want to hit me? What gives you the right?"

"You bring out the inheritance; it should belong to me," Zhou Zhaoguo roared.

Fang Anning scoffed contemptuously, "Are you deaf because you are old? Didn’t you hear what the lawyer just said? Auntie publicly announced and notarized it; the beneficiary of the inheritance is in the name of Fang Anning, not Zhou Zhaoguo."

"You damned girl, that’s my inheritance, give it back to me," Zhou Zhaoguo roared like a madman, raising his hand again to strike her.

This time, Fang Anning didn’t stop him but instead stepped back and shouted, "Wen Yi, come in."

She had arranged with Wen Yi that as soon as she called, Wen Yi would rush in to stop Zhou Zhaoguo.

Zhou Zhaoguo, having been outsmarted this way, was definitely furious.

Once Wen Yi came in to help her, she naturally wouldn’t have to worry about Zhou Zhaoguo hurting him.

Sure enough, at her shout, the door opened, and someone rushed in.

Fang Anning didn’t turn her head to see who it was, still thinking it was Wen Yi, and shouted, "Wen Yi, teach him a lesson, don’t go easy just because he’s my biological dad."

The person didn’t hold back either, kicking Zhou Zhaoguo in the leg and immediately bringing him to his knees.

Fang Anning took a look; why wasn’t it Wen Yi who came in?

She hurriedly stepped back and turned around, only to fall into a man’s arms.

The man wrapped his arms around her waist, a familiar scent of ambergris on him.

"He Tingchen?" Fang Anning exclaimed.

"Leave my husband alone; don’t hit him," Chen Fengjiao screamed as she lunged forward.

But the man’s bodyguard did not spare her because she was a woman; he slapped her down to the ground, right beside Zhou Zhaoguo.

Fang Anning stared at He Tingchen, puzzled by his sudden appearance.

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the country?

Suddenly showing up here, was there something going on?

"Who the fuck are you? This is my family matter; how dare you interfere? She’s my daughter; it’s only right for a father to discipline his daughter."

Zhou Zhaoguo, sweating from pain, came back to his senses and pointed at He Tingchen, cursing angrily.
