Chapter 665: 622 Siheyuan (3 updates)

Old Lady Su’s funeral was very simple, with a Taoist presiding, and three days later, she was buried alongside Old Master Su.

After the funeral, the Su siblings held a family meeting led by Su Wanyi. The inheritance had already been arranged, with Old Lady Su having only two million in cash to her name. Of that, Su Wanyi took away one million, leaving the remaining one million to be divided between Su Laoer and Su Laosi, with each receiving five hundred thousand.

The reason Old Lady Su distributed her assets this way was that Su Yangming knew how to make money, and giving it to him would be looked down upon; he would not value it as much as those who needed the money.

Su Wanyi was the most in need of money, hence she received half. The remaining half was split equally between Laosan and Laosi. Old Lady Su had her own reasoning for this.

In the eyes of others, such a distribution would certainly appear unjust, but Su Ruoan and Su Yangming didn’t care in the least, and Zhao Xinlan scorned the idea of taking Old Lady Su’s inheritance.

Regarding Old Master Su’s former clinic, Old Lady Su had arranged its sale during her lifetime. The money from the sale of the clinic had already been invested by Su Yangming. The money he earned from his business ventures had already been distributed to Su Wanyi and the others according to the agreed proportions.

The controversy lay in the old Su family mansion left by Old Master Su, a Siheyuan in the suburbs.

"Finally, there’s the Siheyuan. Mother told me to give it to Laosan, but Laosan, you need to give us four siblings the cash equivalent based on its current market value, of course, after excluding your share."

Su Wanyi had thought it over. Since Mother said to give the Siheyuan to Su Ruoan, let her have it; after all, Su Wanyi had no objections. The Siheyuan was large, but not suitable for sale, and there weren’t many people willing to rent it, especially since it was in the suburbs.

"It’s not right, big sister. Mom also mentioned the Siheyuan to me, she said it was for our third sister, because that was arranged by our dad before he passed. I even have a recording of it, do you want to listen?"

Su Yangming was the first to object.

"What’s there to listen to? Anyway, this is how Mom instructed me. Being in the state she was, it’s normal for her words to be contradictory before and after. What does your recording matter? I was the last person with our mother when she left. The last words she said were her truest intentions. Do you understand?"

"It’s not that..."

When Su Yangming wanted to say more, Su Ruoan stopped him. "No need to say it, Yangming."

"Third sister." Su Yangming felt it was unfair. The facts should speak for themselves.

"Big sister, I’ll follow your lead. If you all don’t want the Siheyuan, then I’ll give everyone the cash equivalent." Su Ruoan agreed; she didn’t want her siblings to be at odds over money so soon after sending off their mother.

Without their mother around, her interactions with Su Wanyi were bound to lessen. She never quite got along with her eldest sister to begin with.

Without their parents, their communications would naturally dwindle.

If money could solve the issue, that was for the best.

"I had professionals appraise it, and the current market value of the Siheyuan should definitely exceed one hundred million. Let’s settle at one hundred million for now. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, the final amount comes to eighty million. For the five of us, that’s sixteen million each."

"Alright, let’s draw up a contract."

"Find a lawyer, one that is legally recognised."

Su Ruoan agreed.

"Don’t worry, leave this matter to your big sister."

"Su Wanyi, once the procedures are completed, you will no longer be Su Ruoan’s big sister. From then on, take care of yourself."

"..."

Su Wanyi simply couldn’t believe that Su Ruoan, for tens of millions, wouldn’t even acknowledge her as her elder sister.

Yet among those present, not a single one of her brothers and sisters said that what Su Ruoan did was wrong.

Indeed, once their mother passed away, everyone stopped regarding her as the Su Family’s eldest.

So she was no longer the big sister, that was fine; after all, getting an extra sixteen million was also good news.

However, what Su Wanyi had never anticipated was that aside from her, Su Laoer, Su Laosi, and Su Laowu all refused the sixteen million that Su Ruoan offered them.

Regarding the matter of the quadrangle dwelling, the other four had recordings in their possession, which they all played to Su Ruoan, and, in the end, she transferred the sixteen million to Su Wanyi as agreed.

However, after receiving the money, Su Wanyi and her children’s lives became more and more difficult. She eventually gave the money to Shen Yifei, but it wasn’t long before Shen Yifei squandered it all.

Shen Xuan and Shen Yun struggled to maintain their respective families, no longer enjoying the superior status of being the daughters of the Shen Family. The arrogance they once displayed, wielding power in their in-laws’ houses backed by their natal family, had long since vanished. Whatever their husbands and mothers-in-law said, they listened to.

They no longer associated with Su Wanyi.

As for Shen Yi, in the beginning, while Su Wanyi still had money, Shen Yi’s life was rather splendid. But as Shen Yifei frittered away their wealth, Shen Yi, too, began to suffer misfortune.

Su Wanyi sought out Su Jiahao and Su Mengting. The siblings gave her the same line, telling her that she had only herself to blame for her current plight. They had no money to lend her, fobbing her off with the saying "help in crisis, not in poverty."

Su Wanyi had intended to assert her authority as the eldest of the Su family to force compliance from her siblings, but they were no pushovers. Yes, they were cared for by Su Wanyi in their childhood, but since her marriage to Shen Ao, they had also assisted her in many ways.

The gratitude for the care in their childhood had already been repaid with their limitless support as they grew up.

They would have nothing to do with her.

Su Laowu went so far as to tell her on the day she shamelessly demanded money for the quadrangle dwelling from Su Ruoan, that from that day forward, she was no longer his big sister.

Zhao Xinlan was close friends with Su Ruoan, so naturally, Su Wanyi couldn’t seek help from Su Yangming.

Latterly, when she learned that her mother had said the quadrangle dwelling was given to Su Ruoan, as it should return to its rightful owner, she felt deeply ashamed. She couldn’t face staying in Beijing any longer and left the city, never to be heard from again.

**

After making Su Wanyi sign a legally binding contract and transferring sixteen million to her, Su Ruoan went to the quadrangle dwelling that very day.

Tang Su and Zhao Xinlan went with her. Professor Ming also came, and under his deliberate guidance, Su Ruoan discovered the treasures of the quadrangle dwelling.

Initially, she had been convinced to rent out the dwelling, but after learning about the treasures, she refused to rent it out at any cost. She even proactively discussed with Lu Han about renovating the quadrangle dwelling. She decided to move in with Tang Shengyi.

They planned to move to Beijing once they officially retired.

This decision delighted Tang Su immensely. Lu Han, without a second word, took on the task.

As for the treasures Su Ruoan found, she also shared them with Lu Han. This was Professor Ming’s intention—to let Lu Han study those books.

Su Ruoan was his daughter, and if she took an interest, she would pick it up quickly.

But he wanted Lu Han to learn as quickly as possible.

As long as Lu Han got up to speed quickly, in the future, it would be Lu Han who worked hard, not his precious daughter and granddaughter.
