Chapter 410: Became a Godfather?

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Became a Godfather?

The lawyer was already prepared and directly took out the will that had been stored previously, handing it to Chen Qinian, who then tore up the existing will in front of everyone.

"According to the will," I, Chen Qinian, after a century, all my wealth, stocks of Century Group, real estate, managed funds, shares, and all other assets will be inherited by the child in Han Xue’s womb."

Although everyone was prepared for this, when they heard Chen Qinian announce it himself, there was still an uproar at the scene.

"How can this be possible?"

"Yeah, to give all the inheritance rights to an unborn child, what if the child dies, or even doesn’t make it to birth? What then?"

"Gulp, three months pregnant, isn’t the child still unformed?"

"What’s called the science of reincarnation, this child isn’t born yet and is already a billionaire, who can handle this?"

"But can this child be born, and even if born, can he or she reach adulthood? That’s still a question."

"Chairman Chen is also pitiful, having built an empire in his lifetime and finding no one to inherit it. Why couldn’t he be my father?"

"You can go up now and pay your respects to your godfather."

"I’d like to, but the question is whether they’d even want me."

"Hold on, this doesn’t comply with the law, right? The fetus hasn’t even been born yet, it’s not considered a person, how can it have the right to inherit!"

"Exactly."

"Uncle, have you lost your senses? If you’re lacking sons, our Chen Family doesn’t lack male heirs; adopting one is also an option."

"Yeah, yeah, we all come from the same ancestor several decades back. Bones may break, but the connections remain intact."

"Quiet."

"According to legal regulations, an unborn fetus is not considered a natural person, but inheritance can still be passed on through the possession of another."

"They’re planning to elevate that woman Han Xue to power."

"No, absolutely not. Whether the child in her belly is of the Chen bloodline is still unknown, how can she represent it? Moreover, with what background and qualifications does she have to manage Century Group?"

"I oppose this too."

Before their interests, these sycophants too began to voice their opposition.

"Shut up."

Li Feng bellowed, instantly stinging the eardrums of everyone present, and the room fell silent once more.

Chen Qinian, however, remained unfazed, as if he had foreseen everything.

"Announcing the second matter."

"Li Feng, come here."

Li Feng, surprised, turned his head to look at Chen Qinian, wondering what he wanted.

Chen Qinian looked up at Li Feng and extended his hand; Li Feng hesitated, thinking it was a bit awkward for two men to hold hands, but he still extended his hand.

"Today, in front of everyone here, I will perform a kinship ceremony with him over burning joss paper; he’s going to be my sworn brother, and at the same time, the godfather of my unborn child."

Li Feng cursed inwardly, staring at Chen Qinian dumbfounded. Comrade Chen, that joke was not funny at all.

"What’s the matter, you don’t want to be my sworn brother, or don’t want to be the godfather to my child?"

"What are you playing at?"

Even with his high IQ, Li Feng was at a loss by Chen Qinian’s move. Chen Qinian said, "I’ve had people check you out. She can’t hold her own with the Century Group, you saw what happened earlier. Even if I hand over Century Group to her, the company won’t acknowledge her leadership."

"Moreover, my eldest son definitely won’t let things go easily. If I could live another two or three years, naturally I wouldn’t be discussing these matters, but I don’t have much time left."

"You are the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, a big shark in the capital circles, the downfall of Sihai Group must also have been your doing."

"I trust that with your ability, handing Century Group over to you is the only way to ensure something is left for the two of them, mother and child."

"Swearing this brotherhood with you today is based on the character ’trust.’ I’m entrusting my unborn child to you because I believe in your ’trustworthiness.’"

"In my life, I’ve met innumerable people and rarely made an error in judgement, and this time is no different."

Li Feng looked at Chen Qinian, who had shed his playful demeanor, "A trillion-dollar estate for my trust and righteousness."

"Exactly!"

Chen Qinian was crystal clear. This could be described as a gamble of astronomical proportions—if he won, his descendants would thrive in wealth and prestige; if he lost, he would have nothing.

But did Chen Qinian really have a choice?

He had no other option; he was on borrowed time, unable to pave the way for his unheard child. His eldest son returning from the T country would definitely not give up.

His relatives would not allow Han Xue to become the chairman, and the board members at the moment were probably rubbing their hands together, sharpening their knives, waiting to carve out a piece of juicy meat from Century Group.

Eventually, Century Group would still have nothing left.

So this bet, as insane as it seemed, was actually the best solution he could think of at the moment.

Li Feng stared at Chen Qinian, not surprised that the old man could build such a vast empire like Century Group. This sort of courage wasn’t something ordinary people possessed.

"Do you agree?"

Chen Qinian and Li Feng locked eyes.

"Can I even refuse?"

Chen Qinian said nothing, while on the side, Han Xue’s heart was tumultuous, not to mention Jiang Linda nearby.

What was going on?

This no-name boss was actually going to perform a kinship ceremony with the chairman of Century Group and become the godfather to the future chairman of Century Group.

What had the world come to?

Was everything so crazy now?

Jiang Linda had run out of words. What was so good about him that she couldn’t see? Even a little sparkling point that could dazzle people would do.

The banquet hall was aflutter with noise. Had Chen Qinian gone mad? He was actually going to perform a kinship ceremony with an obscure fellow and let him be the godfather of his future heir?

"What’s going on, Shuangshuang, pinch me."

In a corner, Fang Ting listened incredulously to the events unfolding on stage. Kinship ceremony, godfathers, what was all this all about?

Ma Shuangshuang was equally shocked. What kind of move was this?

What was even more astonishing was how he managed to do it.

"Fine, you’ve already said so much. If I reject you, you probably won’t rest in peace even in the Underworld."

Li Feng relented, feeling a surge of loyalty to a man who was willing to entrust him with a trillion-dollar heritage. If he refused now, he would appear rather pretentious.

Though unexpected, becoming the godfather of Century Group definitely had its obvious benefits.

"Prepare everything; I will perform the kinship ceremony with young friend Li."

Hotel manager Zhao Hai had obviously received Chen Qinian’s instructions beforehand. As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Hai had already rushed to set up an altar, incense burner, offerings for all four seasons, and even placed a Guan Gong statue.

Li Feng stared at all this in bewilderment.

This old man must have been planning this for a long time, not just on a whim.
