Most memories are always heavy and unpleasant.

The first half of the confides, and the second half precipitates. After crossing the tense evening rush hour congestion, the two did not say a word.

It wasn't until the car stopped under Grandma Liang's apartment that Zhao Anyue stopped the car and helped Shen Xingye down.

"Grandma Liang! I'm coming!"

Seeing that the door was hidden, Zhao Anyue was stunned at first, and then gently pushed it open.

The sun had set, and there was not a single light in the dimly lit little living room.

Zhao Anyue shuddered involuntarily, and her cold hand was held hard in Shen Xingye's palm in an instant.

"Grandma Liang?"

The bedroom at the end of the hallway was lit only by a small lamp. Zhao Anyue took Shen Xingye's hand and walked in, only to see Liang Yeqiu sitting in front of the bed, holding an old pu fan in his hand, fanning it one by one.

And Shen Aofeng was lying flat on the big bed in front of her at this moment, his eyes closed tightly, and his expression was peaceful.

"Shhhh

Grandma Liang saw Zhao Anyue and Shen Xingye coming in, and raised her hand to make a silent movement.

"Your grandfather slept. He's so tired, you keep quiet. ”

Grandma Liang turned her head and put one hand on Shen Aofeng's stiff five fingers, as if she wanted to hold hands with him, but she couldn't pull that stiffness. And her other hand never stopped the slow-shaking pu fan.

Her eyes shone with a bright and admiring light, as if the years had never passed. She was wearing a dark green cheongsam embroidered with bamboo, as if love had never left.

"Grandma Liang, have you eaten? I bought some vegetables on the road with An An, why don't you be—"

Shen Xingye felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Immediately after, he realized that Zhao Anyue's hand in his palm seemed to be trembling terribly.

Not only hands, but also arms, shoulders.

"Hoshino!"

"Shhhh

Zhao Anyue blurted out, but was interrupted by Liang Yeqiu's silence again.

"Don't wake up your grandpa. ”

Zhao Anyue pulled her hand out of Shen Xingye's palm and folded it on her mouth and nose. Little by little, she bent down and choked out uncontrollably.

At that moment, Shen Xingye probably understood.

"Grandma Liang......"

He groped his way closer to Liang Yeqiu, and gently wrapped his hands around the old man's shriveled and thin shoulders.

"An An and I will pick you up and stay at our house for a few days, okay?"

"I'm not going, I'm going to guard him. ”

Liang Yeqiu muttered to himself, his pious gaze never moved away from Shen Aofeng's body.

"Grandma Liang, are you obedient, don't make An An uncomfortable, she is still pregnant, we will take you home...... In a few days, will I take you to see grandpa?"

"I'm not leaving, he promised me...... In our old house, we will use eight large sedan chairs to pick me up. I waited for him, and he said he would take me back to Shell Bay as soon as he got up from sleep......"

Grandma Liang's Alzheimer's disease has intermittent attacks, sometimes she thinks clearly like a normal person, and sometimes she is as innocent as a girl as if she has been rejuvenated overnight.

"Grandma Liang......" Zhao Anyue bit her lip and wiped the tears that kept overflowing her eyes. She stood up and put her hands around the old man's shoulders, "Grandma, can you listen to An An, let's go home, I'll take you home......"

After the medical examiner and the police came to the door, they did a search.

It was determined that Shen Aofeng's time of death was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning today, and the cause of death was myocardial infarction.

In view of the fact that the elderly man had a related type of underlying disease before, and no suspicious clues were found at the scene. It can basically be concluded that Shen Aofeng died suddenly of illness in his sleep.

Ironically, when the guests who came to pay their respects and were released overnight received the obituary, most of them thought that it was a big joke that the old man with the odd temperament had played a big joke on them again.

Even the Shen family sitting in front of the mourning hall, facing the majestic statue and curling smoke incense, were almost unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

Old Man Shen ended his legendary and commanding life in this way.

Dressed in the most modest clothes, he lay in the most humble room, leaving no one to say anything.

"It doesn't feel like Dad has left us at all. Tao Xuexin folded the silver paper ingots while rubbing the corners of her eyes, "It's like before, running abroad without saying a word, and I don't know when I will suddenly come back like a nobody." ”

"Hoshino, have you settled Aunt Liang well?"

Shen Dongren, who had been sitting silently in the corner, only then did he ask.

"Well, An An and I sent her to a nursing home, and her mental condition is sometimes stable, so she shouldn't be in serious trouble. ”

Shen Xingye said.

"What time is it, why hasn't Lawyer Lin been yet?"

Zheng Lixin stood in the corner, and only Sima Zhao's heart was left to brush up on the sense of existence.

"Mom, grandpa just passed away. What are you talking about?" Shen Yinhe pulled Zheng Lixin's sleeve and complained in a low voice.

"Hey, let me ask what's wrong? I can't even ask? I don't believe it, who of the people standing in this room isn't making that little calculation in their hearts? It's just that I dare to ask. You and Hoshino are the third-generation grandchildren of the Shen family. Shouldn't you justifiably take it as your own responsibility to revitalize the family, so as to comfort your grandfather's spirit in heaven?"

"Well, my sister-in-law's words also make sense. Shen Dongren waved his hand and called Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, to come over and instruct, "You are calling Lawyer Lin and asking where you are." ”

"Yes, Third Young Master. ”

Zhao Anyue was always sitting beside Shen Xingye at this time, and without saying a word, she had insight into all the joys and moods on the scene.

The second time she came to the door, some people even saw her for the first time, but she was already able to deeply feel some doorways and rules.

Although Shen Dongren doesn't care about business, it seems that he and Tao Xuexin are working on the details of the family. And Shen Qiufang is in charge of the company, and this old mansion seems to rarely come back.

Even on occasions like this, he rarely stays still. I can't see it at this time, and I don't know what I'm doing outside.

Zhao Anyue always urinate frequently because she is pregnant. When I just went to the bathroom, I seemed to see Shen Qiufang walking alone in the direction of the lotus pond outside the courtyard.

It's also quite strange -

Over there, except for the Shen family, Shen Xingye's father Shen Xiaqing's single-family villa, there are no buildings.

But didn't the servants say that Shen Xiaqing didn't allow anyone to come close?

"Sorry guys, I'm late for the traffic jam. ”

When Lawyer Lin walked into the hallway, the eyes of a room locked on him.

Everyone knows that he has been a lawyer for Mr. Shen for many years, and his will has been changed several times. Now that the old man Shen has returned to the West, the will will finally unveil its mystery, drawing a willing or unwilling end to Ai Ai's speculation over the years.

At this moment, even the servants who had nothing to do with themselves pricked up their ears. Sure enough, curiosity is the primary productive force for the progress of human society.

Lawyer Lin opened his briefcase and pulled a sealed document bag out of it.

Hold it high above your head as a sign of complete confidentiality.

Then, in full view of everyone, open the seal.

"First of all, please allow me to remember with a heavy heart the esteemed Mr. Shen. Secondly, as the lawyer representing Mr. Shen, I swear by my high professional ethics that the will to be published only represents the true will of Mr. Shen during his lifetime.

Mr. Shen has a mansion under his name, covering an area of 7,000 square meters, with a fair value of nearly 470 million, which was transferred to the third son, Shen Dongren and his wife. Mr. Shen's shares in Shen's name are equivalent to the current price of 7.63 billion. The full amount is divided into three, one is inherited by the eldest son's eldest daughter-in-law Shen Qingxia Zheng Lixin, one is inherited by the second son Shen Qiufang, and the other is inherited by the eldest grandson Shen Xingye's eldest granddaughter-in-law Zhao Anyue. Mr. Shen purchased the Shell Bay property under his name and transferred it to Liang Yeqiu's name. The rest of the antique calligraphy and paintings under Mr. Shen's name were donated to the National Museum. Additional conditions – Oh, and there is one more attached here. ”

Lawyer Lin coughed lightly, turned the second page, and continued reading.

"The full estate will be cashed out from the death of Mr. Shen himself, one year later. During this year, the assets are frozen, and no one is allowed to cash, transfer, mortgage and pledge through any means. If...... Sorry, this ......"

When lawyer Lin said this, he was also a little confused.

"I'm sorry, but this additional condition was written by the old gentleman himself, and I haven't seen it before. He said...... Additional conditions, only when the eldest grandson Shen Xingye and the eldest granddaughter-in-law Zhao Anyue's first child Anping is born, can everyone's inheritance be cashed in. If there is any accident for the child, the notary office will automatically freeze all the inheritance and donate it to charity according to Mr. Shen's last wishes. ”

Coming back from the Shen family, Zhao Anyue and Shen Xingye leaned on the sofa in the living room left and right, and no one said a word for a long time.

The will read out by Mr. Lin was so unexpected.

"Grandpa is protecting our children in the only way he can control. He racked his brains to give everyone what they wanted, and then locked everyone's motives on the high ground of the money that was at stake. In this way, no one will dare to harm our children. ”

Shen Xingye's tone was light, and it did become more and more tearful in Zhao Anyue's ears.

"Grandpa would love to see it born......"

"Come here. Shen Xingye turned to Zhao Anyue, raised his hand and patted it lightly on the leather sofa twice.

"Oh-"

Zhao Anyue just wanted to move over, but Shen Xingye suddenly said again, 'Forget it'.

"You sit, I'll go. ”

He stood up and walked along the edge of the sofa to Zhao Anyue's side in a few steps.

With a big hand, he gently took her body into his arms.

Hoshino ...... You ......"

"I'm just protecting you, and I can't let you have anything to do with your children in order to get grandpa's inheritance. ”

Shen Xingye felt quite relaxed when he said this, at least the old man helped him find an excuse that he didn't have to face his heart.
