"I am here to read out Mr. Muu’s will," Lee Ming took the folder from his assistant and opened it, announcing the contents of the will: "According to the will of Senior Mr. Muu and his wife, after their death, the properties in their nas are to be inherited by Mr. Muu Wansen;
The shops are to be inherited by Mr. Muu Qiuchen;
The deposits under Senior Mr. Muu’s na are to be inherited by Mr. Muu Wansen;
The antique calligraphy and paintings stored in the bank by Senior Mr. Muu and the jewelry stored by Senior Madam Muu are to be inherited by Miss Muu Qingwan;
All companies under the na of the Muu Family are to be inherited by Miss Muu Qingwan,
Mr. Muu Wansen and Mr. Muu Qiuchen will each receive ten percent of the company’s shares;
All other assets beyond these are to be inherited by Miss Muu Qingwan..."
"What did you say?" Yang Jiezhen suddenly burst in, questioning Lee Ming: "The company is inherited by Muu Qingwan? Did you read it wrong? Qiuchen is the eldest son and grandson of the Muu Family, how could the company be inherited by Muu Qingwan?"
"Mom!" Muu Qiuchen frowned: "Grandfather just passed away, why are you saying these things?"
Yang Jiezhen ignored his questioning, charged towards Lee Ming, trying to grab the will from him: "And where do Shuangshuang and I stand? What did Dad and Mom leave for and Shuangshuang?"
Lee Ming dodged aside, closed the folder in his hands, and handed it over to the assistant: "I have finished reading the will, and your nas and Muu Rushuang’s do not appear in the will..."
"No... that’s impossible... you’re lying!" Yang Jiezhen’s face turned red with anger: "I am the only daughter-in-law of the Muu Family, my Shuangshuang is the eldest granddaughter of the Muu Family, how can our nas not be in the will?"
When she walked to the door and saw Lee Ming entering with his assistant, and heard him say he was here to read the will, a new spark of hope lit up inside her.
The Muu Family was once a second-tier family in Beijing, and although it has now declined to the bottom of the third tier, they still have their foundations, and Senior Master Muu and Senior Madam Muu surely kept many valuable things.
Now, both of them are dead, and the lawyer is here to read the will; if her Shuangshuang could inherit the Muu Family’s property, even if she cannot save her Shuangshuang now, when Shuangshuang gets out of prison, she might still find a good man with property to her na.
Even if she cannot marry into a wealthy family, at least she can marry a person with good character and intelligence, who is ambitious, maybe they will find success soday.
She waited at the door, full of hope, listening.
The lawyer read out item by item.
The things left by the old couple, so were for Muu Wansen, so for Muu Qiuchen, but most were for Muu Qingwan.
No matter how long she listened, she couldn’t hear her or Muu Rushuang’s nas.
She was growing impatient when suddenly the lawyer announced that all the Muu Family companies would be inherited by Muu Qingwan, and she couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed in to grab the will from the lawyer.
The assistant holding the folder stepped back a few steps.
Lee Ming blocked her path, looking at Yang Jiezhen, saying: "Madam Muu, this will was made by Senior Mr. Muu and Senior Madam Muu five years ago and was notarized by a notary. What I read just now matches exactly with the clauses in the will, word for word, and you may verify it at the notary if you do not believe ."
"That is impossible!" Yang Jiezhen shook with anger: "It cannot be! Qiuchen is the only grandson of the Muu Family, how could they leave the company to Muu Qingwan? You must be mistaken!"
Muu Qingwan is just a girl!
Girls are ant to marry!
When a girl gets married and has children, they will take her husband’s surna.
In the future, if Muu Qingwan passes the company on to her children, then the Muu Family company will bear another family’s na.
Though the Muu Family has fallen, they can still barely maintain their spot as a third-tier family in Beijing.
But if Muu Qingwan inherits the company, and passes it to her children, the Muu Family will be completely removed from the ranks of the families in Beijing!
She couldn’t believe her in-laws were so muddle-headed!
"Believe it or not, this is true," Lee Ming looked at Yang Jiezhen with a slight mocking smile: "Madam Muu, I have been Senior Mr. Muu’s private lawyer since I was thirty, and now I am over fifty, I have worked over half my life at the Muu Family, I know quite a bit about their affairs, and you know well what you have done, don’t you? I find Senior Mr. Muu and Senior Madam Muu’s will to be fair and reasonable."
