"Good. I see, I'll be there in a minute. Han Lie was very calm, calmly finished speaking, and hung up the phone calmly.

"Who died?"

Because he stood at a relatively quiet distance, Tong Qiangqiang heard the key words leaking out of the earpiece. And she had actually vaguely guessed the answer in her heart, after all, as far as the recent situation is concerned, the most likely person is ......

"Zhong Yuanshan. Han Lie confirmed what Tong Qiangqiang was thinking, and then he ignored her for the time being, and made two phone calls, one to explain that Sun Xian was preparing for the funeral, and the other was to explain that the public relations department of the Zhong Group was going to send a press release. Then he walked to the bathroom, and told Tong Qiangqiang in a cold tone: "Mai Xiuze will bring me clothes in a while, you should open the door." ”

Tong Qiangqiang bit his fingernails and went into the bedroom to pack his suitcase. Within two minutes, the doorbell rang. After opening the door, Mai Xiuze walked in with a paper bag, and asked her in a low voice when he handed it to Tong Qiangqiang, "Is it good to rebuild the old one?"

"You give it to him yourself. Tong Qiangqiang shook a very bad face, turned his head and planned to go back to the bedroom to continue to pack his luggage. But he suddenly remembered something in his mind, and asked Mai Xiuze again, "Is the political environment in Beijing particularly strict?"

As soon as he mentioned Beijing, Mai Xiuze knew that Tong Qiangqiang was concerned about Yan Xi, and he also confirmed that the answer to the question he had just asked was no, and he was no longer able to mourn for Han Lie.

"Hey, what can I ask you?" Tong Qiangqiang gently pushed Mai Xiuze, his eyebrows frowning, "Yan Xi is not even convenient to use a mobile phone, so he finally called me, and the call time was limited." ”

Mai Xiuze was slightly puzzled and replied: "Although I don't know what the specific thing is, but with the recent sensitivity of his grandfather's family, this kind of situation of strict supervision is very likely. I'm worried about leaking some important secrets. Finally, he added a joke, "You may have someone secretly listening on your phone calls." ”

Tong Qiangqiang: "......" Isn't the little love talk she said with Yan Xi......

The bathroom door opened at this moment, and Han Lie walked out after taking a shower, with a bath towel around his waist, and his hair was dripping wet.

Tong Qiangqiang and Mai Xiuze stopped talking and looked at him.

Han Lie glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and walked over to take the paper bag from Mai Xiuze's hand. Walk straight to the bedroom.

Tong Qiangqiang couldn't stand him a little. He really thought it was his room with her. When he was holding his forehead, Mai Xiuze stabbed Tong Qiangqiang with his elbow, "Hey, what did you do to make him angry? His face turned black like that? It can't be that he wants the overlord to bow hard, and you refused, right?"

Tong Qiangqiang rolled his eyes coldly, and then blocked him: "What about you? What is the matter with you and Sister Ruzhen? Is the father of the child she lost three years ago you?"

This rhetorical question was particularly effective, and McXiuze's hippie smile was almost instantaneous, and he shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of surrender: "OK." I don't care about the matter between you and Han Lie, right?"

Tong Qiangqiang didn't let him go, and said with a solemn face: "If you and Sister Ruzhen really have any entanglements, I hope you can quickly sort it out with her and don't do anything to hurt her." ”

"I didn't think you were so nosy. McXiuze snorted, "Things are not what you think. Don't just get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg and be presumptuous. ”

He rarely sneered at her like this, Tong Qiangqiang was slightly stunned, thinking about whether he really provoked Mai Xiuze somewhere.

"Is there water?" asked McXiuze, meaning to change the subject.

"It's cool and white. "She burned it for Han Lie last night, and there was still something left in the kettle, so she went to pour a cup for Mai Xiuze.

Mai Xiuze followed the direction and saw the pills thrown on the coffee table, grabbed them and looked at them twice: "Who has a fever?

Tong Qiangqiang shook his head: "No." ”

Mai Xiuze glanced at the direction of the bedroom in a little surprise when he heard this, and couldn't help but burst into a rough voice: "! He actually gets sick?" I always thought that he was King Kong's incorruptible body, and he was invincible to all poisons. No wonder something was wrong with his voice when I was on the phone just now. ”

Tong Qiangqiang didn't care: "Don't you just have a fever, what's the fuss? It's not normal if you don't get sick, right?"

"No, I'll be honest, at least in the past three years, I suspect he's going to be fine. 24 hours a day is almost like 72 hours—"

Halfway through Mai Xiuze's words, Han Lie floated out of the bedroom. He was dressed and dressed again. Even his beard has been shaved clean, and it should be that Mai Xiuze even brought him a razor.

Han Lie walked over and picked up the watch strap that was taken off the coffee table, and said to Mai Xiuze, "Take me to the hospital." ”

Then he finally turned his gaze back to Tong Qiangqiang, and said lukewarmly: "I'll talk about other things when I come back." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was very unhappy with his toughness, and thought that he wouldn't be able to stop her if she wanted to leave anyway, so he put down his anger and said, "I'll go to the hospital with you." ”

After all, it was the last time to meet Zhong Yuanshan, and she should still give it a ride.

Han Lie frowned and didn't say anything.

Tong Qiangqiang thought he acquiesced, hurriedly went into the bedroom to change his clothes, and set off with them.

in the hospital. Sun Xian's speed was very fast, he had already changed Zhong Yuanshan's body into a shroud, and the funeral home's car was also waiting downstairs in the hospital, and the staff was sending Zhong Yuanshan down.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't get too close, only glanced at Zhong Yuanshan's remains from a distance.

The shape is as dry as wood.

"How did Grandpa Zhong pass away? Didn't he just come back from rescue?" Tong Qiangqiang asked Zhong Ruzhen beside him in a low voice.

"I unplugged the hanging bottle and the oxygen mask myself. When the nurse came to the ward in the morning, she found that she had been out of breath for a long time. Zhong Ruzhen's tone did not fluctuate.

Tong Qiangqiang is a little strange. Shouldn't someone be watching Zhong Yuanshan's side? How could no one find out? And why did he ......

"Why did he ...... himself?"

"Probably desperate. ”

Zhong Ruzhen's answer was very ambiguous for Tong Qiangqiang, who did not know the situation. She frowned, swept around the people, and said again: "Why didn't you see anyone else?" Aunt Zhu, Zhong Wenhao, the second uncle and the second aunt weren't there? Didn't you inform them?"

"I forgot you didn't know yet. Zhong Ruzhen turned his head to look at Tong Qiangqiang, and the corners of his lips pursed into an incomprehensible smile: "Zhong Wenhao is in the drug rehabilitation center, Zhu Jinhua is busy maneuvering for him, Hu Xiaoting ran away with twins who are not of the Zhong family's blood, and Zhong Jie is arresting her all over the city." What's the matter? Every piece of news that reaches the media will become a blockbuster news of the rich family, right?"

There was a lot of information, Tong Qiangqiang was stunned, his eyes slowly swept towards Han Lie, and his heart was indescribable. It's him, right? He finally cornered the Zhong family......

Han Lie deliberately officially released the news to the media after Zhong Yuanshan had been sent to the funeral home and set up the mourning hall, and people came to mourn one after another. Han Lie did not deliberately act to act like a filial son, maintaining a common sense of humility and courtesy. The vast majority of people are most concerned about the ultimate heir of the Zhong family, and the side knock is naturally fruitless. However, Zhong Wenhao's absence is really too obvious, and the news about his drug abuse and arrest is not airtight, not to mention that everyone knows the situation of the Zhong family in the past three years, and almost all of them believe that Han Lie will officially take over the Zhong family.

When there was an endless stream of people in the mourning hall in front, Zhong Yuanshan's body in the back had been arranged to be cremated. The speed was very fast, as if he was in a hurry to finish everything. And when he was cremated, Han Lie didn't come to the back, I don't know if it was because he couldn't pull away from the front, or if he deliberately didn't come.

Tong Qiangqiang, Zhong Ruzhen and Sun Xian, standing in rows, silently watched through the glass window as Zhong Yuanshan's body was slowly sent into the cremation furnace by the machine conveyor belt.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't know Zhong Ruzhen and Sun Xian's mood. She only felt a little sad for Zhong Yuanshan.

"Uncle Sun, can I ask you a question?"

"Just ask. ”

"Why are you helping Han Lie?"

Sun Xian was silent for a while before he said slightly: "As people get older, gradually some old people keep coming to you in their dreams to reflect on the past. The more reflection there is, the more guilt you have on your shoulders. Always find an outlet for yourself. ”

"So you're relieved now?"

Sun Xian paused slightly. smiled: "At least I can get over the hurdle in my heart." ”

Immediately, he turned to Tong Qiangqiang and asked, "I heard that you have returned to your biological parents?"

Tong Qiangqiang nodded.

Sun Xian's expression was gratifying: "Very good." Tong Ming will be happy for you too. I finally don't have to hide this secret from you. There's one more thing to let go. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was slightly surprised: "Do you know that I am not his biological child?"

"Yes. Sun Xian smiled, "I already knew Tong Ming before I was working for Zhong Yuanshan together. One day, he suddenly brought back a child to live with. The explanation he gave to others at the time was that his wife in the countryside gave birth to him very early, and he was worried that the child would wander around with him, so he didn't take it with him, but now that it is a little stable, he will take it back and take care of it. No one doubted it, only I knew that you were actually bought by him. ”

Tong Qiangqiang already has no memory of Tong Ming. I haven't even seen a photo. It was because of Sun Xian's words that he sketched the image of an iron man and a tender man in his mind.

"But the next morning he bought you, you got chickenpox and a fever. That night, Zhong Yuanshan happened to explain the two of us. Later, I told you that he didn't worry about leaving you alone at home, so he brought you to the Zhong Mansion. After Tong Ming died, I also hoped that you would have a good place to live, so I contributed to the Zhong family's acceptance of you. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was silent for a while, and Sun Xian's words suddenly remembered another question: "Since you are in the same group as Han Lie, does that mean?" You knew from the beginning that Han Lie deliberately confused the belonging of the child in my womb to cause trouble for the Zhong family?"

There was a hint of questioning and anger in her tone.

Sun Xun replied truthfully: "I only found out after I took the opportunity to return to the Zhong family. ”

But after you know, you still let Han Lie do that to me? Tong Qiang Qiang looked at Sun Xian with faint eyes.

Sun Xun sighed lightly: "Girl, rationally speaking, I don't think there was anything wrong with Han Lie's approach at that time. Back then, my original intention was that the Zhong family could give you a better environment for growing up, but I never expected that you would become a child daughter-in-law later. If you marry Wen Hao, it's not a good destination. When I returned to the Zhong family, Han Lie had already succeeded in convincing Zhu Jinhua that the child in your belly was not Wen Hao's, and you also thoroughly felt that you would only be a dispensable person in the competition for the interests of the Zhong family, and that was undoubtedly a good opportunity to help you get rid of their mother and son. You are disappointed in their mother and son, and in the Zhong family. At the very least, it will save you from being affected when Han Lie finally destroys the Zhong family. If you stay by Han Lie's side, you can help Han Lie muddy the waters, and Han Lie can take care of you, and you won't be physically harmed-"

"Didn't hurt ......?" Although it was rude, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help but interrupt Sun Xian, his voice was dry, and the meaning of questioning was stronger, "It's because I wasn't induced to take drugs like Zhong Wenhao, and I wasn't made to lose my grandson like Zhu Jinhua." Do you think I'm not really hurt?"

I don't know if he was asked, Sun Xian's expression did not answer immediately. After a few seconds, he asked Tong Qiangqiang a question: "Qiangqiang, have you seriously thought about the hurdle you can't get over in your heart, is it because Han Lie hid the inside information from you and used you, or is it because you mistakenly thought that Han Lie was just using you purely but didn't have any feelings for you?"

Tong Qiangqiang was stunned for a moment, and listened to Sun Xian's continued to open up and explain: "The former reason. One thing alone. The latter reason is love. Is it that incident that you can't get by, or is it that love you have for Han Lie?"

"Uncle Sun, you talked so much, she had to digest it for several days to figure it out, right?"

Sun Xian smiled: "I'm probably still not very good at reasoning with you young people. ”

The staff of the funeral home were asking them about receiving the urn, Sun Xun glanced at Tong Qiangqiang's stunned expression, and the staff was going to go with him.

"I don't have any previous feelings for Han Lie anymore. Behind him, Tong Qiang said in a thin voice, obviously answering the question he had just asked.

Sun Xian's footsteps stagnated slightly, and he smiled: "Girl." Think it through first. Also, it's useless for you to talk to me about this. You have to talk to yourself. ”

***

Zhong Yuanshan's burial ceremony, Tong Qiangqiang did not participate, after coming out of the funeral home, she got into Mai Xiuze's car and asked Mai Xiuze to take her back to the hotel.

"I still have to wait for Han Lie. I'm driving his car. Mai Xiuze refused.

Neither of them has changed this habit for three years. Tong Qiangqiang has always wondered that Han Lie doesn't seem to particularly like driving by himself, but he doesn't hire a driver. always likes to let Mai Xiuze come to him, Tong Qiangqiang has not forgotten that she was also called by Han Lie as a driver. And Mai Xiuze is also strange, he always likes to drive Han Lie's car.

"Aren't you a rich second generation? Why don't you even have a car of your own?" Because he was not happy in his heart, Tong Qiangqiang was particularly angry when he spoke.

Mai Xiuze raised his eyebrows and squinted at Tong Qiangqiang: "I am a rich second generation with no money." Why, can't you?"

Tong Qiangqiang: "......"

However, even if he held his breath, Tong Qiangqiang still had to sit obediently and wait for someone to come and walk together.

In recent years, the land has become more and more expensive, and the local tyrants have become more and more arrogant in buying cemeteries, and this cemetery is newly built in the suburbs to meet the demand. Most people come with their own private cars, and the only bus is once an hour. And in the morning, the sun was still shining. It was rainy in the afternoon. Tong Qiangqiang was not stupid enough to get out of the car to find guilt.

Looking out the window in a daze, Tong Qiangqiang asked Mai Xiuze a question: "Do you all think that Han Lie is not at fault? I should understand Han Lie and forgive Han Lie?"

I do not know. Mai Xiuze spread his hands with a smile, "I said in the morning, I don't care about anything between you anymore." ”

Tong Qiangqiang clasped his arms with one hand, his forehead was weak against the glass window, and his vision was somewhat blurred in the water.

Soon after, the figures of Han Lie, Sun Xian, and Zhong Ruzhen appeared in the thin rain curtain.

When Zhong Ruzhen pulled the back seat of the car, he found that the driver was Mai Xiuze, paused, and said to Tong Qiangqiang: "Uncle Sun is alone, I will take his car, and I won't squeeze with you." ”

"......" Tong Qiangqiang watched speechlessly, Zhong Ruzhen walked quickly towards Sun Xian.

Han Lie opened the passenger door and sat in.

Tong Qiangqiang was sitting directly behind the passenger seat, and he could just see that on the back of the chair, there were small raindrops on his exposed head, staining his hair. She turned her face away and looked back at the scenery outside the car window.

After more than an hour's drive, Tong Qiangqiang squinted and fell asleep, feeling the car stop. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was dark, and she had been led to the bell house. Tong Qiangqiang patted the back of Mai Xiuze's seat: "Didn't you say that you would take me back to the hotel first? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Mai Xiuze glanced at Han Lie and did not speak.

Seeing this, Tong Qiangqiang still didn't understand Han Lie's idea again.

Han Lie, who was in the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the car door and said lightly: "The lawyer will read the will, just for a while." Let's go together again. ”

Tong Qiangqiang frowned and reluctantly got out of the car with them.

The rain has stopped, washing away a lot of the summer heat. The air is cool and fresh. The ground was wet, and the bell house, which had not returned for three years, was brightly lit, casting reflections on the stagnant water on the ground.

Tong Qiangqiang looked at it for two seconds and paused: "I won't go in." ”

Anyway, the will has nothing to do with her.

Han Lie's eyes stared at her deeply, as if he wanted to veto her request. Tong Qiangqiang knew that he might be misunderstanding her and was going to sneak away, so he added euphemistically: "I'll breathe outside and wait for you." ”

Han Lie didn't say anything, but Zhong Jie hurriedly ran in from the gate at this time: "Dad, Dad's funeral is over?"

Zhong Ruzhen mocked: "It's not your grandfather's funeral that recalls you, it's the reading of the will." ”

Although the Zhong family has been controlled by Han Lie, as long as the will is not read at the last moment, there is still a little hope. Maybe Han Lie wasn't so ruthless and could share a little soup with him? Zhong Jie really thought so in his heart, but when Zhong Ruzhen picked it out and said it directly, his face couldn't be hung up, and he was a little annoyed: "Your grandfather just died, I don't want to quarrel with you!"

After speaking, he walked to the house first, called Han Lie and said, "Hurry up, third brother, read it out early and finish it early, I still have something to do." ”

Zhong Ruzhen still didn't miss any opportunity to mock Zhong Jie: "Aren't you so busy looking for Hu Xiaoting's slut? Anyway, even if you have your share, you don't have a son to inherit. ”

"You-" Zhong Jie's face turned red with anger, but Zhong Ruzhen didn't wait for him to scold, so he snorted coldly and straightened his waist quite arrogantly and walked away.

Zhong Jie suddenly held his breath in his chest and couldn't spit it out.

Han Lie glanced at Tong Qiangqiang, and seeing that she seemed to be looking at the changes in Zhong Zhai, he slightly folded his eyebrows, and he still didn't seem to be at ease. Mai Xiuze quietly touched him with his elbow and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, can't I just show you people outside?"

Han Lie paused for a moment, and then he didn't hesitate.

As soon as he walked into the hall of the Zhong Mansion, he saw that Zhu Jinhua was already sitting on a mahogany chair waiting for everyone, and his sitting posture maintained a dignified posture.

Zhong Ruzhen couldn't help but sarcastically speak: "I thought that the eldest aunt would not be there." After all, you don't even show up for your grandfather's funeral. As soon as the news comes out, I am afraid that the entire Rongcheng will know that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family does not even bother to attend her father-in-law's funeral, and is only anxious to divide the family property. ”

"I have to come and see what kind of will he made for the Zhong family. Zhu Jinhua sneered, staring at Han Lie with burning eyes.

Han Lie was expressionless and ignored Zhu Jinhua's words.

The housekeeper ushered Lawyer Wang, who had just arrived, into the living room. Except for Zhong Wenhao's special situation and Hu Xiaoting's inability to be present for some reason, the rest were not absent. Lawyer Wang took out the will from his briefcase and read it out.

Rongcheng Tianyue Law Firm was entrusted by Mr. Zhong Yuanshan...... In accordance with the provisions of the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People's Republic of China, the Inheritance Law of the People's Republic of China and other laws and regulations...... Mr. Zhong Yuanshan's will is hereby published as follows...... The shares of the Zhong Group under the name of Mr. Zhong Yuanshan are all inherited by the eldest granddaughter Zhong Ruzhen——"

"What?!" Zhong Jie let out a shocked voice, interrupting the lawyer's unfinished words.

Zhu Jinhua was also surprised.

Even Zhong Ruzhen himself didn't expect such a result, and couldn't help but look at Han Lie.

Everyone knows that this will is from Han Lie's handwriting. But it was almost assumed that Han Lie would take it all in.

Three years ago, Zhong's capital chain had problems and transferred a lot of shares. After deducting the various directors and shareholders, there are not many people who really belong to the Zhong family, but they are maintained at the largest proportion. Now all the shares are inherited by Zhong Ruzhen, which is equivalent to handing over the power of the Zhong family to Zhong Ruzhen. In other words, Zhong Ruzhen became the head of the Zhong family.

Han Lie was calm as usual, holding the teacup and taking a sip of tea calmly, letting the lawyer continue to read the will.

The rest of the content is the distribution of real estate including real estate in various parts of the Zhong family, as well as some omitted clauses to prevent loopholes. Everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhong Jie's mind was turning, but he found out the joy from this will, which sounded desperate: Zhong Ruzhen is his daughter, Zhong Ruzhen inherited everything, what is the difference between him inheriting everything? As long as Zhong Ruzhen has a slight accident, isn't Zhong Ruzhen's things all owned by him, the father?

Think about it. Zhong Jie's heart instantly turned from shock to secret ecstasy.

However, at the end of the reading of the will, lawyer Wang took out a document on the dissolution of the father-daughter relationship between Zhong Ruzhen and Zhong Jie.

Zhong Jie's expression stiffened instantly.

"What, what?!" Zhong Jie Huoran stood up from the mahogany chair, "I'm Ruzhen's father, why didn't I know that I was going to break off the father-daughter relationship with her?

Lawyer Wang held on to the frame of his glasses: "This is an official document with legal effect, and Mr. Zhong has signed and agreed to it." In the relationship of the Zhong family, Mr. Zhong has the right to help you make decisions. ”

"What a signature! How could there be a signature from him!Don't think I don't know it's fake!" Zhong Jie roared violently, glaring at Han Lie viciously, "You! You did it all!"

Zhong Ruzhen got up and retorted coldly: "When the will was read just now. Why don't you say it's a lie? Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts! I won't let you succeed!"

"Zhong Ruzhen, you are the opposite! I am your old man!"

"Hmph, didn't you hear? I don't have anything to do with you now!"

“……”

In the quarrel between Zhong Ruzhen and Zhong Jie, Zhu Jinhua looked at Han Lie with a smile. Han Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, and coldly confronted Zhu Jinhua.

Han Lie thought that Zhu Jinhua would say something, but Zhu Jinhua didn't.

After a while, Zhu Jinhua stood up and walked out silently.

***

Outside Zhong's house, Tong Qiangqiang stood under the porch, staring at the lush flower garden a little distractedly.

Mai Xiuze leaned against the car and guarded her for a while, in fact, he was basically sure that Tong Qiangqiang would not sneak away, and it was completely Han Lie who was too worried.

He hadn't been to the bathroom since the funeral home, and now he felt that he really needed to solve it, so he asked the housekeeper to take him to the bathroom.

When Zhu Jinhua walked out of the hall, he saw Tong Qiangqiang standing alone outside.

She squinted slightly, a trace of resentment crossed her eyes, and she only felt that it was no effort to get it.

"Qiangqiang. ”

Tong Qiangqiang, who was in a daze, turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Zhu Jinhua's face with a weird smile.

***

In the living room, after Zhu Jinhua left, Han Lie drank all the tea in the cup, stood up too, and said to Zhong Jie coldly: "Second brother, if you have any dissatisfaction, please find a lawyer yourself." ”

"You still have the face to say! You know in your own heart how Dad's will came about! You and Lawyer Wang have colluded to draft a will! This is not what Dad meant at all! Of course I have to find a lawyer! I want to take you all to court!" Zhong Jie wanted to come forward and slap Han Lie, but when he bumped into Han Lie's cold expression, he was inexplicably frozen.

"Well, we'll wait. Han Lie's answer was very light-hearted, and then he said to Lawyer Wang: "There is also my equity transfer letter, take it to Ruzhen now." ”

Lawyer Wang immediately took out his briefcase when he heard this

Zhong Ruzhen was stunned again, took the document in a daze, and found that Han Lie had really given her all the shares he held. Not only his mother's 10%, but also the shares that Chung transferred to a wealthy Hong Kong businessman for working capital. In this way, the shares owned by Zhong Ruzhen occupy an absolute position and advantage in the board of directors of Zhong's Group.
