Chapter 189: These Bastards!
"Is it so strict?" Seeing Xiao Yun driving the car fast with a nervous face, Xia Qingge asked.
"Of course it's strict! I forgot that tomorrow is your birthday, what a carelessness. Xiao Yun slammed on the accelerator and blamed himself.
Xia Qingge was a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with my birthday tomorrow?" β
Xiao Yun said: "Of course it matters, your grandfather has already announced that on your birthday, you will be engaged to the Li family." Although we know that this matter is almost yellow, but after all, your grandfather has not publicly announced the cancellation, if at this time, your grandfather suddenly has an accident, then, some people can make a big fuss about this matter, and the situation will become very troublesome. β
Xia Qingge asked a little incredulously, "What will happen to my grandfather?" Do you dare to assassinate him? β
Xiao Yun said: "Of course it won't be a blatant assassination, but what if it's another way?" For example, what if he suddenly became critically ill, or 'died of natural causes'? Your grandfather is not in good health? This is not surprising! β
Xia Qingge's face changed, Xiao Yun was right, and this possibility could not be ruled out. Now she also wanted to grow her wings and fly home quickly.
But at this moment, Xia Qingge's mobile phone rang.
Xiao Yun and Xia Qingge looked at each other, and suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.
"Hello? Dad ......" Xia Qingge answered the phone.
β¦β¦
Putting down the phone, Xia Qingge's face became extremely gloomy, "Xiao Yun, you don't have to go home, let's go to the hospital quickly!" β
"How?" Xiao Yun was taken aback.
"You are unfortunately guessed, grandpa is critically ill!" Xia Qingge said heavily.
β¦β¦
Outside the operating room, a large number of old lady Xia's children and grandchildren were waiting anxiously outside the door, looking chaotic. The bright red words "During Surgery" on the door looked shocking. From time to time, doctors and nurses in white coats hurriedly shuttled back and forth, and the atmosphere seemed quite tense.
Xia Zhengling and Huo Yulan were also there, Xia Qingge walked forward quickly, "Dad, Mom, what's going on?" What about Grandpa? β
Xia Zhengling said with a solemn face: "This morning was fine, but in the afternoon, it suddenly didn't work, and when I was sent to the hospital, I didn't even have a pulse, and now I'm still rescuing!" The situation is very bad! β
"Who was with the old lady at that time?" Xiao Yun asked.
Huo Yulan said: "At that time, it was the maid Zhang Ma who served my father. She was the first to find out about the situation. β
Xiao Yun said: "Is this person reliable?" β
Huo Yulan glanced at Xiao Yun strangely and said, "You can't doubt her, right?" Zhang's mother has been working in the Xia family for more than 30 years, and when I didn't get married, she worked in the Xia family, and she was very loyal and reliable, otherwise my father wouldn't have let her serve by her side all the time. β
Xiao Yun smiled, "No, I'll just ask casually." β
Xia Zhengling sighed: "Alas, Dad's health has never been very good, and I didn't expect it to be at this time...... Alas! β
Xiao Yun glanced at Xia Zhengling, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, can you take a step to speak?" β
Xia Zhengling was a little strange, but he still nodded and followed Xiao Yun to the side.
Huo Yulan just wanted to speak, but Xia Qingge said, "Mom, come here, I'll tell you something alone." He pulled Huo Yulan aside.
Xiao Yun saw that there was no one around, and said to Xia Zhengling: "Uncle, don't you think this matter is very strange? β
A hint of discoloration flashed in Xia Zhengling's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Do you doubt it...... Someone poisoned my father? β
"Not doubt, but conviction!" Xiao Yun said: "Tomorrow is Qingge's birthday, the old lady has an accident today, doesn't my uncle think it's too coincidental in time?" β
Xia Zhengling said: "My father's health has always been bad, and it may be just a coincidence that something happened at this time, it doesn't seem to prove anything!" β
Xiao Yun said in his heart that Xia Zhengling was really kind-hearted, and changed the topic and said: "Listening to Qingge, my uncle only has 17.5% of the Xia family's shares in his hands now, isn't that so?" β
Xia Zhengling nodded and said, "Not bad." β
"But the old lady has 32.5% in his hands?"
"Yes!"
"So, may I ask uncle, did the old lady make any will before the accident, or revealed any words, saying how to distribute the 32.5% equity after his death?"
As soon as Xiao Yun said this, Xia Zhengling seemed to suddenly realize something, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. After a long while, he slowly shook his head, "No! My father didn't say anything. Maybe he didn't expect something to happen so soon......"
Xiao Yun said: "This is the crux of the matter, you are the head of the Xia family, it stands to reason that you should hold the largest proportion of the shares of the Xia family, but this is not the case, the biggest weight is in the hands of the old lady." If the old lady had made a will in advance, saying that he would completely hand over the 32.5% of the shares to you after his death, or put a large part of it into your hands, then you could grasp the weight of the Xia family's overwhelming advantage, and nothing would happen. But the old lady didn't do this, so your three brothers who have the right to inherit ...... What are the likely reactions? β
At this time, Xia Zhengling discovered the strict nature of the problem, no one knew his brothers better than him, it was their collective incompetence, and the collective incompetence of their next generation, which indirectly led his father to make the decision to marry the Li family.
Xia Zhengling took a breath and said word by word: "They must ask for an equal share of the inheritance!" β
Xiao Yun said: "Not bad! The Xia family is rich and rivals the country, the old lady has so much power in his hands, no one will look at such a huge fortune and don't want it, even some people who are not involved in it may want to profit from it, not to mention that they already have the right to inherit?
The problem is that the shares in your hands do not have an overwhelming advantage, and they still do not have an overwhelming advantage after a tie. When the old lady was there, with him pressing, no one dared to rebel, but once the old lady was gone...... With your current control over the Xia family...... The future of the Xia family is hard to say. β
Despite this, Xia Zhengling still didn't want to believe it, "Do you doubt that several of my brothers will join forces to kill their own father?" β
Xiao Yun said: "Before the truth is revealed, everyone is suspicious, not only your brother!" One more thing, uncle, don't forget jΓ¬! Tomorrow is Qingge's birthday. When the old lady was there, although that incident was basically out of play, the old lady didn't announce the cancellation in person! In this way, in case the old lady has something that is long and short...... So, by then, who will the Xia family fall into? Light Song ...... And in whose hands will it fall? β
At this moment, Xia Zhengling couldn't believe it, slammed his fist on the wall, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "These bastards! β
At this moment, suddenly, I saw the door of the operating room open, and a doctor in a white coat walked out, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and then Li Qin's screaming cry came: "Dad, why did you leave us behind!" β
Mrs. Xia's status can be described as pivotal, and his death almost caused a sensation in the entire Yangcheng.
Not only did the heads and minds of all sizes in Yangcheng come, but even the governors and secretaries of the provincial party committees of more than 30 provinces across the country have sent messages of condolence. The top governors of the two neighboring provinces even came to pay their respects in person.
Then came the business partners of the Xia family who came one after another, and the people who came to mourn were crowded and endless, and by the time the funeral of Mrs. Xia had settled down, the time had come more than a week later.
However, for the Xia family, the secret war caused by the death of the old lady has just begun.
Because Mrs. Xia died suddenly, she did not leave any arrangements for the aftermath such as a will, so almost every restless heart of the Xia family began to stir.
Not only the most direct sons of Old Lady Xia, but even all the branches in each room are staring at this qiΔ. How to distribute the huge wealth left by the old lady after he left, and how to fill the power vacuum, everyone wants to know the answer.
As soon as the old lady died, it was obviously inconvenient to raise it, and now, the old man's funeral has been completed, and this matter is inevitably on the agenda, and Xia Zhengling, as a parent, cannot sit idly by, so the largest family meeting of the Xia family in recent years was held in this situation.
Xia Zhengling sat at the top with a stern face, and they were his brothers in turn, Xia Zhenghe, Xia Zhengjun, Xia Zhengen, and then their daughters-in-law and children. That's a hundred.
Xiao Yun sat beside Xia Qingge, looking at the somewhat haggard Xia Qingge, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, reached out to hold his little hand, and comforted him softly: "Don't think too much, it will pass in one qiΔ." β
Xia Qingge cast a grateful look at Xiao Yun and sighed, "I didn't expect the Xia family to ...... In this case, this kind of thing will happen, grandpa died, competitors are eyeing each other, now is the time when the Xia family is the most stormy, every Xia family member should work together to tide over the difficulties. But look at them...... It's like a hungry wolf who doesn't choose to eat, and some people even bring their babies who are still in swaddling clothes, for fear of sharing even a little bit of benefit, alas! Grandpa has a spirit in the sky, if he sees such a scene, I don't know how sad he will be. β
Xiao Yun suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't be sad. In a rich family, it is difficult to produce filial sons, there are many such things! Let's face it! What should come will come, and what should go will definitely go! β
Xia Zhengling glanced at the audience, cleared his throat, and said coldly: "My father just passed away without explanation, and the cause of death has not yet been ascertained, you don't want to find a way to find out the murderer who killed your father, but you can't wait to divide the property, are you worthy of your father's spirit in the sky?" β
As soon as Xia Zhengling's voice fell, Xia Zhenghe said in a non-yin manner: "My father is unfortunately ill, and we are also very sad. However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and the dead should be buried as soon as possible. But it's good that you have no reason to suspect that your father was murdered, and now that the autopsy report has come out, it is not a murder at all, but a sudden death from a heart attack! Poor father has never been stabbed in his life, but after death, he will be dissected, do you do this, are you worthy of your father's spirit in heaven? β
As soon as he said this, it immediately aroused the approval of a considerable number of people, and they began to talk about it.
Xia Zhengling said angrily: "According to what you say, can I still do something wrong?" My father had never had a heart attack, so how could he die suddenly because of a heart attack? Doesn't that tell the story? β
Xia Zhengjun, the third elder of the Xia family, said: "Big brother, didn't you listen to the second brother?" It was a sudden heart attack, and since it was sudden, no one can guarantee that it was not before, and it will not be now. Besides, my father has always been in poor health, and now it is not impossible to suddenly have a heart attack! Big brother has to make a fuss about this matter, in the end...... What is the intention? β
Xia Zhengling's face changed, and he said angrily: "What do you mean by this? β
The fourth Xia Zhengen said with a disdainful face: "Big brother, you don't have to hide that little Jiujiu in your heart, you are the eldest son and a parent, you have a lot of credit to this family, isn't your purpose to share more of your father's inheritance?" But how many of us are not fathers' sons? We haven't been idle all these years, have we? We didn't contribute to the Xia family? The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, why do you score so much? β
"You haven't been idle all these years, but you're not busy making money, you're busy spending money to pick up girls as traitors, right?" Xiao Yun suddenly sneered.
When he spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Who are you? Why are you talking here? This is the Xia family's family meeting, why did you let an outsider in? Who allowed him in? Li Qin shouted in a sharp voice, especially emphasizing Xiao Yun's identity as an "outsider".
Xiao Yun not only broke Xia Mingyang's legs, but also gave her two slaps in front of Old Lady Xia, no matter what aspect it is, she has no possibility of reconciliation with Xiao Yun, so as soon as Xiao Yun spoke, she took the lead in attacking. not only emphasized Xiao Yun's identity as an "outsider", but also pointed out the person who allowed Xiao Yun to participate in the meeting.
Li Qin's words immediately attracted a lot of approval, and many young children even began to shout to drive Xiao Yun out!
Li Qin was secretly proud in her heart. and Xiao Yundou, she doesn't seem to have taken advantage of anything. But this time, she firmly grasped the word "reason" in her hand, and she didn't believe that Xiao Yun and Xiao Yun dared to do anything to her again.
Xia Zhengling glanced coldly at a young woman in the distance who was breastfeeding her child, and sneered: "You can even bring in a nursing child, Xiao Yun is Qingge's fiancΓ©, why can't you participate in the Xia family's meeting?" β
If Li Qin's words only caused an uproar, Xia Zhengling's words simply set off an uproar.
Especially Xia Zhengling's brothers, they were even more excited, as if after hearing about this incident, the sky was not blue, the water was not green, the food was not fragrant, and the sexual* life was not harmonious...... In short, the world is going to be in chaos!
"Isn't Qingge going to get engaged to the Li family? When did you get engaged to him? β
"Who made it? How is it that we don't know about such a big thing? β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing a group of people squeaking coldly, Xia Zhengling said coldly: "I just ordered, do you have any opinions?" β
