Chapter 298: I want to attend your wedding before that
Everyone's eyes almost immediately looked that way, and when they saw the man, the whole living room fell silent for a moment!
"Y-How could you-"
"Grandpa! You're really awake! Xia Zhilin reacted the fastest, exclaimed, his eyes lit up, and he stared straight at the old man in front of him.
At this moment, the old man was being pushed out by Xia Cheng in a wheelchair, a pair of sharp eyes swept around, and the pale and bloodless face was very peaceful, and there were no mood swings.
But such a plain and unwavering look silenced all the people present.
Only Xiao Tuanzi happily stretched out his hand to him, "Grandpa, you're not sick anymore!" β
The old man's face, which had no temperature, finally had a smile, and he nodded hoarsely, "Yes." β
"You're all right."
"Uh-huh! There is a slit on the top of the head, and the tumor inside is taken out and sewn back on. β
Xiao Tuanzi is a big-hearted person, and it is an understatement to say that his head is open.
The rest of the people listened one by one.
Xia Zhilin gave him a thumbs up next to him, "It has to be you, it's okay!" β
"Not really! Going around is amazing! The little guy was so proud that he slapped his chest thumping, "I'll be discharged from the hospital in a week." β
"Uncle Doctor said that Doudou recovers quickly!"
Gu Jiaojiao couldn't bear to poke him, a child of his age is better than others in everything, and his broken bones grow in a few days.
He only looked at the old man from a distance, and looked at him, although his expression was sluggish, he was indeed sober.
Only then did she let go and replied to Lu Jun's message.
"Thank you very much for the medicine to get rid of the disease."
"Now that everyone has arrived, it's just right to ...... I just heard you bet, what bet? The old man put on his clothes and sat in a wheelchair in the room, and he heard a lot of the commotion outside.
At the moment, everyone else was immersed in the joy of the old man waking up, and only Xia Zhisen was alone, his face turned green, and his steps retreated, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
But suddenly a crisp and immature voice came.
"Yes, yes! It's him who made a bet with Mommy. β
The little guy pointed at him chubbyly, and from such a distance, it made everyone's eyes move in an instant.
"He bet that Grandpa you won't wake up, and said that if you don't wake up, you'll kick Mommy and Doudou out!"
"What?" The old man thought it was a joke, but when he heard this, his face immediately sank, and he glared angrily.
"Boss, are you crazy?!"
"Jiaojiao is my own granddaughter, your cousin, how dare you! Ahem, ahem, ahem! β
Xia Cheng hurriedly patted him on the back, "Grandpa, you just woke up, don't be too excited." Now it's Jiaojiao who wins, and it's okay. β
"What if I don't wake up?" He was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at Xia Zhisen and the others, "If I don't wake up, are you going to drive Jiaojiao's mother and son out of the house-"
Xia Zhisen's face turned pale, and he explained anxiously, "I'm playing with them." β
"You're going to turn the other way around!!"
The old man held his cane in his hand and slammed it heavily on the wooden floor.
A pair of eyes stared straight at Xia Zhisen's face, his eyes were red, and he hated iron and steel.
"I thought you could be a great thing! You can carry it when it matters most! But I never thought that in addition to coveting those petty profits and not daring to bear the loss, you would use these crooked brains. β
"Grandpa......" At this moment, Xia Zhisen couldn't stand it at all, and the whole person was flustered, his legs were weak and he almost couldn't stand.
How could Grandpa know that he was losing money!
Damn it.
It's Summer Orange!
He stared at Xia Cheng with hatred, slut, he dared to tell the secret at this time!
"You don't slander Xia Cheng, I'm not blind for such a big thing. Tell me that the finances were already found out when you moved. It's been half a year! If I hadn't pressed it for you, would you think you would have been able to hide it until now? β
The old man's few words shattered all Xia Zhisen's hopes.
"Adou, who can't be helped, you are not much better than your father. It's all rubbish β rubbish! β
"Grandpa, let's talk about anything when my body recovers, don't be in a hurry. It's not good to be angry now. Xia Cheng persuaded hard.
But he insisted on solving it today.
After taking a few deep breaths, and barely recovering with the help of the doctor, he beckoned the mother and son to step forward.
While holding the girl's hand, he looked at her and Doudou lovingly.
"As for me, my last wish before I died was fulfilled. Actually, there are no regrets. Compared with scolding Xia Zhisen just now, the old man spoke in a particularly soft tone to the mother and son.
"What happened just now frightened you, grandpa will definitely make the decision for you."
ββ¦β¦ Thank you grandpa. She lowered her eyebrows, very meek, very different from the girl who had just argued with reason.
This is who she really is.
If she hadn't been persecuted by Xia Zhisen, she wouldn't have wanted to make a fuss.
In the final analysis, she has no interest in the inheritance of the Xia family.
"Yours good, I know. Unlike the boss, he made a bet that he was going to kneel down and apologize to me, right? There is no need for it anymore...... This eldest grandson, no longer needed. The old man waved his hand dejectedly, obviously knowing some inside information, although he did not expose Xia Zhisen's poisoning and making him unconscious in public, but he was already disappointed in him from the bottom of his heart.
"What about the lawyer?"
"Wait outside in the reception room. The notary has also arrived. "Xia Cheng went out before, and this was all arranged, "After you fell unconscious, the situation was out of control, so I invited someone to come over in advance." β
She lied to Xia Zhisen.
Originally, if the old man was not sober, the contents of the will would be announced in advance. Because this is the final version that the old man revised a few days ago, she was there at the time, and she knew everything.
"Are you going to publish it directly or ...... Revise? β
"Change it."
"Okay, I'll start arranging it right away."
If there was no one next to the two of them to discuss, the voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the entire living room to hear.
Xia Zhisen realized that the will had already been drawn up before this, and now the old man suddenly wanted to revise it, for only one reason-
"Grandpa, I know it's wrong!" He made a quick decision, knelt directly in front of the old man, and cried a handful of snot and tears, "I was young and vigorous at the time, and I mistakenly believed in others, so I boldly prepared so much money to invest." I want to prove myself, too! β
"As a result, I didn't expect that something went wrong, and the other party turned out to be a professional fraudster. I took all my money - I couldn't help it, I didn't dare to tell my father, let alone let you know, so I kept trying to find a way to pay it back. β
"Grandpa, I really know that I was wrong. You can also see what I have done in the past six months, and I have worked hard to overcome my own faults and try to be as stable and mature as possible. I'm doing my best to help the company, and I don't have any selfishness, grandpa! β
He cried and grabbed the ground, tearing his heart out.
The whole person was lying on the old man's lap, humble and unlooking.
"It's a good time to cry." Xiao Tuanzi rubbed his nose and grunted.
As soon as the milky voice came out, Xia Zhisen's already ugly face was now even greener.
Damn it!
The son of a slut is also a slut! It has to be dismantled.
The old man didn't move, touched the little guy's head wrapped in gauze, and explained kindly, "Grandpa can see it." β
"Then why did you let him howl all the time, it's so ugly."
Xiao Tuanzi tilted his head, very puzzled.
Seeing this, the fat Gu Jiaojiao was really helpless, and wanted to go over and take the little guy away and don't make trouble, how to distribute the affairs of the Xia family and the old man's will, they had better not interfere.
But the old man held Doudou's hand and didn't let go, lovingly let Doudou lean against his side, and waved his hand to signal Gu Jiaojiao not to stop.
She reluctantly stepped aside.
The lawyer has finally arrived.
Xia Cheng pushed the old man to the table, and in front of him was the original will, which was neatly printed out in twenty copies at the moment, and distributed to everyone present according to the old man's wishes.
Gu Jiaojiao and Doudou each took a copy, and the little guy couldn't understand it, but the lawyer obviously didn't miss him, and took the initiative to help him interpret it.
"The terms related to you are here, the old man specially bought a toy factory before his death, and was going to give it to you as a gift. In addition, there is a trust fund, two overseas properties, five of the rarest cars, and a private jet, all of which are named in the will and given to you. β
"Wow! And airplanes wow! β
Obviously, he only heard the last sentence.
A pair of eyes suddenly turned into stars, Mei Zizi looked at the old man, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
βmuaοΌ Grandpa, you're so nice! Thank you. β
"It's good to like it, grandpa is afraid that you don't like it."
"I like the big plane Doudou, only Grandpa Tai knows what Doudou wants, you are the best."
The old man was coaxed into a daze.
Gu Jiaojiao listened to these things, not shares related to the Xia Group, so she was a little relieved.
I looked down at the pages and saw my name at the end.
"A total of 131 pieces of jewelry were given to her granddaughter Gu Jiaojiao, 1% of the shares of the Xia Group, 3 real estates, a dowry (Annex 3), and a trust fund."
Her mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
Compared to the entire Xia Group that Xia Zhisen is worried about, these are just a drop in the bucket.
But for her, it is already a huge funding.
That dowry alone is worth a fortune.
"Miss, these things of yours are more complicated to receive, except for a part of the old lady's left, most of the rest of the jewelry belonging to your mother are kept in a special jewelry collection abroad. We'll take you back then. β
ββ¦β¦ Got it. β
She could probably guess what the old man meant.
If she really gives herself a large number of shares of Xia's Group, it is not responsible for Xia's Group, and it will not do her much good.
If she can't sit in that position, not only will she not enjoy the glory and wealth, but she will easily attract death.
The rest of the people hurriedly glanced at it, and it was roughly the same as they thought, but the third child of the Xia family said "Huh", "Grandpa, you still give me dividends!" Thanksgiving! β
He has always been stubborn, the old man often reprimanded, he used to hold a position in the company, and he left his post after messing up a few times, and he received pocket money to have fun with his name.
I never thought that the old man was afraid that he would starve to death, so he specially prepared something for him to support him for a lifetime.
There is only one person with the most complicated complexion and rapidly intertwined emotions - Xia Zhisen.
Because in this will.
He is the heir of the Xia Group, supplemented by Xia Cheng and Xia Zhilin, most of the equity is in his hands, and he deliberately left 300 million in cash...... The intention is self-evident.
"Grandpa, grandpa, are you, is your will real?"
Xia Zhisen was so excited that his hands were trembling, and he almost couldn't hold the two pieces of paper.
Then he kowtowed a few times directly to the old man, "Thank you, grandpa, I knew you wouldn't treat me badly." β
"Crying for what? People in their thirties, I heard that your fiancΓ©e is pregnant, and she is still crying? The old man glared at him.
Xia Zhisen hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, I was too excited just now......"
"Nope. You're crying early. β
βοΌβ
The old man said the most frightening words in the most bland tone.
"This is the previous will, if I just died, you are indeed the biggest beneficiary. But unfortunately, I woke up, conscious, and knew all the dirty things you did! β
He slammed the will in his hand to the ground, and white pieces of paper flew in all directions, scattered around Xia Zhisen.
The pale paper reflected his bloodless face, which looked particularly terrifying.
"Don't do that...... Grandpa, give me another chance! I won't make any more mistakes. β
"Even if it is to be modified, you take a look, is there still anyone available in the Xia family? Dick? 3rd or 4th? It's still Ah Lin! They're all overwhelmed! β
The old man was unmoved.
Even if he is now a big man kneeling on the ground crying and making trouble, the old man does not have any superfluous expression on his face.
He only motioned for the lawyer to approach, his fingers tapped on the table, and his tone was sonorous.
"I said you remember."
"My grandson, Xia Zhisen, will inherit 1% of the shares of the Xia Group under my name, inherit a property in the center of Haicheng, inherit the subsidiary 'Fujiwara', and cash ...... One hundred million. β
"No, no!" Xia Zhisen's eyes still widened after hearing this, his face full of disbelief, "It's too little!" Grandpa, that's too little! β
"Where is it less, big brother, this is more than my cash, one more company! If you're too little, let's swap them. "The third child of the Xia family is talking cool things.
Xia Zhisen, who provoked him, glared angrily, "You waste, shut up for me!" β
"Joke, who's the rubbish? No matter how much I waste, I haven't lost 300 million yuan in the company, it's good for you, you look like you have died for the Xia family, but you secretly embezzle public funds, tsk...... That is, grandpa is generous, otherwise you will go in. β
"Shut up!"
The third child of the Xia family didn't talk anymore, anyway, he gained a lot, and he could watch a joke in vain, and his grandfather happened to wake up, so he didn't lose today.
"Grandpa, don't do this to me. I'm really going to change, I'm going to change...... I can pay for the 300 million, and I can pay it when I get married! β
Xia Cheng really couldn't see it, "You still don't know what you did wrong." β
"I ...... I really shouldn't have embezzled public funds, I know my mistake! β
"Nope. You want to do a career, want to invest, want to make money, gambling is impulsive, and although grandpa is angry when he finds out, he chooses to help you press. I just want to see how you perform after that. In the past six months, you have worked diligently for the company and worked hard to fill the shortfall, and he felt that you had taken care of it and had a more stable temperament, so in the end it was still decided to hand over the Xia Group to you. β
After a pause, Xia Cheng shook his head in disappointment, "It's just that you didn't catch it." You are too entangled in these three hundred million, short-sighted, and not emotional. Let's just say that Jiaojiao's medicine woke up the old man today, and you bullied her like that, and you haven't apologized until now. With such a conduct, do you think grandpa will believe in you again? β
"As for the rest, you know it in your heart."
They all chose to deliberately ignore the poisoning of the old man, firstly, in order to save the face of the Xia family, and secondly, no matter how wrong Xia Zhisen was, the old man never thought of asking him to go to prison.
Speaking out, it's hard to be good about it.
"There's no room to maneuver?"
"Nope." The old man had already begun to revise the will, and he did not intend to forgive him.
Seeing this, Xia Zhisen stopped crying, he stood up suddenly, his face was grim, "Grandpa, if you don't pass on the Xia family to me, who are you going to pass it on?" Your waste son, waste grandson, a whole bunch of them, can anyone but me be on top! β
"You always say that I can't defend Chengdu because I am incapacitated, so look at them, they can't even defend Chengdu! If you don't give it to me, do you want to watch the Xia family fall! β
Xia Cheng looked at him with an expressionless face.
The uncles on the side were talking a lot, full of worry.
The little guy was bored and lying back in Jiaojiao's arms, muttering that he was going to have a big plane......
Said that the first passenger was dear Mommy, and did not sit for others.
Gu Jiaojiao squeezed his soft little hand and whispered a few words, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Turning his head, the old man was tired of listening, and waved his hand to let the maid pull Xia Zhisen into the corner.
"I covered my mouth so that I wouldn't make any noise."
"Yes."
His tone was very flat, there was no warmth, and because of his weak body, he also had a weak speech.
But everyone, including Gu Jiaojiao, knows that every word that comes out of the old man's mouth will carry extra weight.
"Your part of yourselves, I've given you all that. Regarding the inheritance of the Xia Group, I have already thought about it. β
He slowly looked to the side, his face full of indifference, and the second middle school boy didn't know what to look at in his mobile phone.
Suddenly, I heard my own voice.
"Ah Lin."
"Huh?" Xia Zhilin raised his head blankly, and found that everyone was staring at him, suddenly stunned, and pointed at himself, "Me? β
"What, scared?" The old man smiled, and with just a few words, he easily pinched Xia Zhilin.
The latter immediately changed his tone, "What are you kidding, I'm afraid?" Isn't it just a Xia Group! Originally, I wanted to rebuild the empire myself, but now it's just a little bit of a problemβ"
"That's good. Then, after my death, you will be the next chairman of the Xia Group, inheriting the remaining 36% of the shares belonging to me, all assets, titles, and all real estate including this ancestral house. On behalf of the Xia family, several uncles, you must be respected as the leader of the next generation. β
Yes......
The old man has made a decision, and the rest of the people will not object.
The person who wanted to oppose was now being covered and couldn't say a word.
The fifth uncle squinted his eyes and smiled tremblingly, "Don't worry, I will personally preside over the ceremony." β
"Uncle Xie." After the old man finished explaining, the lawyer over there also quickly redrafted and revised it in a very short time.
The notary immediately begins the notarization.
"Wait!" Xia Zhilin, who was still in a state of blindfolding, finally realized that something was wrong at this time.
He pointed to the pieces of paper in front of him and took a closer look, "Why are there so many lines of words underneath?" β
"Five less, those are requirements. You must meet the requirements to inherit the Xia Group, and you must comply with them in order to enjoy the rights. β
"What requirements?"
"First, the premise of your inheritance of the Xia family is that Xia Cheng must be the assistant to the president."
"This is great, there is Sister Orange here, I can rest assured!"
"Second, Xia Cheng has three chances to test you, and if she judges you three major mistakes in a year, you will lose your inheritance."
Xia Zhilin, "?? However, it is not impossible. Anyway, I really want to ask Sister Orange, and I don't know much about the Xia Group...... And what is the third? β
Third, it can't be related to Xia Cheng, right?
The lawyer laughed, "The third is that you and Miss Xia Cheng must get married. β
βοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
"What?"
"Grandpa, what are you kidding? Who am I married? Sister Orange? No, why do I have to marry her? You didn't have this when you let your eldest brother inherit it before...... Why did I come out of nowhere? β
Don't say that Xia Zhilin reacted a lot.
The others were also confused when they heard it, but because the gossip was burning, one could be restrained more than the other.
Even Xiao Tuanzi, who was so bored that he yawned, was sitting upright in his mother's arms at the moment, with toffee in his left hand and watermelon in his right hand, and his eyes were shining.
The melon-eating masses are in place!
"It's a requirement, and if you can't do it, you can't enjoy the right."
"Doesn't that mean you can't trust me? If you can only trust Xia Cheng, the second one is enough, what kind of plane is getting married! β
The old man looked at him incomprehensibly, and waited until he had complained enough before he said a few words slowly.
"You don't want to?"
"Not really...... That's not right! Even if I am willing, Sister Orange, is she willing? She doesn't look at me every day, can she agree to marry me? β
As soon as Xia Zhilin's words came out, everyone's attention shifted to Xia Cheng.
The latter's clean goose egg always has a formulaic smile on his face, polite but detached.
Wen Yan nodded and smiled at Xia Zhilin, his voice crisp.
"I do."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Xia Zhilin was stunned, and the face of the middle two was flushed by a smile in front of him.
"Y-Would you like to? How, how do you want to, hahahaha, Sister Orange, you are so interesting...... Don't you all treat me as a brother, so how can you get married......"
He stammered.
After holding back a few words for a minute before finishing speaking, her cheeks were already red, and her ten fingers were twisted together, looking flustered and helpless, like a little girl who had been robbed of her first kiss.
Xia Cheng looked at it and laughed, "Anyway, I'm willing." β
"In that case, it was decided. Notarize it. The old man's face was full of gloom, and it was obvious that he had already spent too much energy on this matter.
He was already weak, an old man who was about to die, and he had to worry about his family until the last day.
It's ridiculous to think about.
It's ridiculous......
"Grandpa? Are you tired, do you want to sing lullabies to you and coax you to rest? β
ββ¦β¦ Wait a while. "He is indeed tired, but since he has picked up a life, in the last few days, he has to do what needs to be done.
While pulling the small ball to the side, he called Gu Jiaojiao over.
"You have seen everything just now, I am very righteous to Xia Jiaren, and I can only do this."
"Grandpa, rest more, don't think so much." Knowing that he was exhausted, Gu Jiaojiao was a little distressed, but she couldn't do anything for him.
The old man could see through her mind at a glance and held her hand.
"The only thing I can't worry about is you, Jiaojiao...... Grandpa wants to attend your wedding before leaving. β
