Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Gifts Again (5)

However, one thing regarding the Wang Family did catch Su Yanyi off guard: that woman Wang Zhirou had actually found a backer for the Wang family, a nearly fifty-year-old man who seemed to want to acknowledge her as his goddaughter. It was just unclear which type of goddaughter she was supposed to be. The information gathered by her subordinates was rather ambiguous and interesting. As for the old man’s identity, if it were the publicly known Su family, indeed they would have had to be somewhat wary, but the actual Su family didn’t care at all. Instead, it allowed Su Yanyi to catch the Wang Family in another predicament!

About four hours after Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran received news that Old Master Qin was critically ill, he eventually succumbed to his sickness and died in the emergency room, triggering the Qin family to enter their most intense internal strife—so much so that it was a bit harrowing for outsiders to witness.

With the corpse of Old Master Qin present, the lawyer announced the contents of the will in the hospital. Old Master Qin held seventy percent of Qin’s shares. He had three sons, and in the end, it was unclear how Old Master Qin had made his decision: The eldest son, Qin Zhenren, obtained thirty percent of the shares, while the second son, Qin Zhenyi, and the third son, Qin Zhenli, both only received twenty percent of the shares each. The say in the Qin’s affairs temporarily fell into Qin Zhenren’s hands. Although he had only thirty percent of the shares, he was still the largest shareholder of the Qin’s, but whether he could secure his position would depend on his own abilities and methods.

Besides shares, Old Master Qin had not been overly biased; he had distributed the cash, immovable property, and so forth evenly among the second and third sons, as well as grandchildren and granddaughters, ensuring that everyone got a piece. However, it was both surprising and expected that there wasn’t a single mention of Qin Jiran in the will. Naturally, Qin Jiran didn’t receive anything.

When Old Master Qin was gravely sick, he expressed a desire to see Qin Jiran and even mentioned allocating part of his inheritance to him. It seemed intended to pacify Qin Jiran and unite the Qin family against external forces, considering Qin Jiran and his backing from the Su family as formidable foes. It was a calculated move, both insidious and cunning. Should Qin Jiran be swayed by this, he would become a common enemy of the Qin family, and the little inheritance he received would only become a burden to him.

However, after meeting with Qin Jiran, Old Master Qin appeared to change his mind. Faced with two descendants who were both ungrateful and overly assertive, to the point where even he felt threatened, Old Master Qin decided not to leave them a penny. Moreover, not only did he not want to divide his property among them, but he also emphasized in his will that the Qin family should stand united and under no circumstances allow outsiders to take advantage. He even explicitly instructed them to be wary of the Su family, the Wang family, and other major clans. The marketplace is like a battlefield; internal conflicts must not be allowed to enable an invasion by external foes, and one must prevent the situation where the fisherman profits from the fight between the snipe and the clam.

The old master said a lot in his will, which was like a summary drenched in blood and tears, and his last piece of advice to the younger generation. It reflected the cunning ruthlessness of an old man as well as the loving care of an elder.

However, the result following the announcement of the will was not as one would hope. Just as Old Master Qin had misjudged Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi, he also misjudged his own children and grandchildren. He had aimed for an even distribution while maintaining a hierarchy and had pointed out several enemies they must unite against to remain vigilant. He hoped that even if they were unwilling, it would not lead to serious troubles.

But reality proved to be much crueler than imagined, or perhaps the hearts of people were much greedier than he had anticipated. Whether it was Qin Zhenyi and Qin Zhenli who had received twenty percent of the shares, or Qin Zhenren who had thirty percent, or even those grandchildren who had gotten a decent share of the inheritance, not a single one was satisfied!
