Chapter 291: An Untimely Will
We walked in silence, and the hall of the seventh uncle's house had been turned into a mourning hall.
The portrait and coffin of the seventh uncle were placed in front of the hall, and Su Yu, as a family member, and Zhou Jianguo, as a member of the family, accepted the condolences of others on the side.
Because of the large number of people, we had to follow the team inside.
"One bow, two bows, three bows, ......"
Zhou Jianguo kept talking, and groups of people bowed in front of the mourning hall and then took their seats.
When it's our turn, it's the same.
Chen Cheng and I found a very conspicuous position in the back and sat down.
This allows you to observe other people.
These bosses in front of me, after the previous mutual preparations, are basically divided into the Hongyang faction of their own family, the neutral Tengyun faction, and the Ma Yuan and Ma Yi factions, which are mostly young people.
Although there are other bosses like Li Mingming, they will sooner or later be involved in this "power struggle".
From what I can see in the back seat now, there are very few people who can stand on Su Yu's side.
They didn't want to stand on the side of Su Yu, a young girl, but they wanted to get the opportunity to be "named".
"My grandfather was a good man, he ......"
When saying the eulogy, Su Yu did not take the script, and his eyes were full of sadness.
All the eulogies were like she spoke from the heart.
With the mourning, most of the people lowered their heads, showing a heavy mood.
According to the rules of the seventh uncle's family, after the memorial service, the coffin will be placed for a total of seven days, and then it will be cremated and the final feast will be held.
Chen Cheng and I sat all the time, watching groups of people leave.
By the afternoon, there were not many people who came to mourn - most of them came to mourn for the first time, including Wang Fan, of course, and only some people who were on business trips would come to mourn in the next few days.
Chen Cheng and I had lunch outside, and continued to sit inside the mourning hall, observing all the people who came to pay their respects.
By evening, there were very few people, and not many people sat in front of me.
"Miss, it's been a hard day."
When Zhou Jianguo saw me coming, he said to Su Yu, "You take a break, I'll help you watch it for a while." β
"Uncle Zhou, you have also worked hard."
Su Yu nodded slightly, got up slowly, and tapped his leg slightly.
Standing and kneeling for long periods of time, today or the next few days, she will be very hard - physical.
"Shen Fan, Chen Cheng."
Su Yu said and walked over, "Talking inside." β
She has become a lot calmer, and more like the owner of this family should be - more like the seventh uncle.
Su Yu brought me and Chen Cheng into the back hall.
"How's your preparation?"
"We ...... Do you have a chance of winning? β
As she spoke, she pursed her lips slightly, looking very worried.
"For the time being...... No. β
I said slowly, "I plan to cooperate with Hong Yang, his business has a lot to do with your family." β
"Listen to you."
Su Yu nodded slightly and said, "Today, after seeing these people, most of them will not be on my side." β
She saw it from the front, naturally much more clearly than I did.
"The first part after that should be the president of the Antique Association."
I said, "Su Yu, as long as we help you win the president of the Antique Association, we can continue to play this game of chess." β
I did think so at the time, but I didn't expect that the two brothers of the Ma family, whom we had been ignoring, would come up with a moth later.
"I'm not in the mood to plan with you right now."
"I'll listen to you on this matter."
Su Yu nodded and said, "However, I have a bad feeling, you should be careful when planning." β
"I'll be careful."
I nodded and said, "Su Yu, don't worry, with us here, I won't let you be kicked out." β
I said, holding Chen Cheng's hand tightly.
I saw a hint of vinegar in Su Yu's eyes, but it was only for a moment.
"These days, I have to prepare for my grandfather's funeral, and the rest of the things can only depend on you."
She said and nodded slightly.
After that, Su Yu returned to the mourning hall and continued to guard the spirit, and this time it was Zhou Jianguo's turn to chat with me.
"Shen Fan, what's the use of getting me, just say it."
Zhou Jianguo said as soon as he entered the back hall.
"I want to know how many hole cards we have."
I said slowly, this point, Su Yu has not completely taken over, it should be clear, but Zhou Jianguo should be very clear.
The hole cards determine my playing style - the hole cards in this matter are how much property the seventh uncle left for Su Yu.
As far as I know, there are not many businesses left by Uncle Seven during his lifetime.
I mean, the Seventh Uncle is really in control.
This was also found from Wang Fan.
Many things that Uncle Seven has controlled have been controlled by Hong Yang and some other bosses in the past six months.
The seventh uncle only controls the business in the form of a "major shareholder" - including but not limited to, catering and entertainment, Tangkou, and some blocks of land.
I was able to find out that the only thing that Uncle Seven completely controlled was the rich people flowers and birds.
All the land of Fumin Flowers and Birds belongs to the seventh uncle.
Of course, some of the real estate of the store is in the hands of a few people - Hong Yang and I have a few bosses who have the same heart as Hong Yang.
"There's not much you can control, most of it is shares."
Zhou Jianguo said slowly, "If the young master is here......"
Suddenly, he knew that he had slipped his mouth, so he covered his mouth and kept his mouth shut.
"Tell me, you have to confess, otherwise I won't be able to help Su Yu."
My brow furrowed as I spoke.
"Follow me."
In order to keep it secret, Zhou Jianguo took me upstairs from the back and entered a very closed room.
Inside, there are all sorts of things on display β including posthumous portraits.
"Actually, Miss Su's parents, that is, the young master and the young grandmother, are long gone."
Zhou Jianguo said slowly, "At that time, for the sake of Miss Su's psychological endurance, the seventh uncle lied that they were traveling around the world. β
"But Miss Su also found out later."
Zhou Jianguo explained, "Externally, the news of the death of the two of them has not been announced. β
"I'll keep this a secret."
I nodded, "I'm sorry. β
I sighed as I said that.
In the next few days, Su Yu was guarding the spirit, and I also sat in the mourning hall and observed all the people who came.
Seven days passed, the body of the seventh uncle was cremated, and the last funeral feast began.
All the celebrities of Hezhou came to Haoyan Villa.
The only difference from the last birthday banquet of the seventh uncle is ...... I sat on Su Yu's sideβI was in the main seat.
Basically, everyone can see the change in my "status".
Su Yu took on the responsibility alone.
"Thank you for coming ......"
She walked over to the railing and opened her mouth so that the guests downstairs could hear it.
But the funeral feast had just begun, and some people came out to make trouble.
"Hello Miss Su, I am the lawyer in charge of the will before Uncle Seven."
"Now I read out the will of the seventh uncle."
Everyone can see that this is completely out of place.
