In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 133: Grandpa Can Leave it to Anyone He Wants
Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Grandpa Can Leave it to Anyone He Wants
Not only did it mention that Old Master Xie was critically ill, but it also brought up the issue of the will.
Mr. Xie, though he no longer managed the company, still held shares in the Xie Group.
Everyone said Xie Linchuan was the heir to the Xie Group, but since some things had not yet firmly landed in Xie Linchuan’s hands, it remained an uncertain state.
Just like Xie Linchuan’s identity as the heir to the Xie Group.
When the news came out, Xie Suian flew into a rage. They had their speculations about the will, but more infuriating was the rumor they spread about Old Master Xie’s critical illness.
In reality, Old Master Xie had already stepped down, and Xie Suian had been in charge of everything in the company. Even if Old Master Xie truly passed away, it wouldn’t have a significant impact on the Xie Group. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
But with Old Master Xie being sick, Xie Suian was already very concerned, and now the media outright stated he was done for, how could Xie Suian not be angry?
That was his father!
The Xie Family didn’t have such messy affairs, and Xie Suian had enjoyed everything his father provided since childhood. He dearly respected his father.
He couldn’t accept that at this time, news of his father’s impending death was being spread.
That’s why Xie Suian was so furious upon seeing the unscrupulous media’s reports, he immediately instructed his secretary to send a lawyer’s letter on behalf of the Xie Group.
Sue!
They must be sued until they’re broke!
But even so, people who were familiar still called Xie Suian, wanting to know exactly how Old Master Xie was and if they should visit him in the hospital.
This included the Liang Family.
The Liang Family were kin through marriage to the Xie Family, so the relationship was naturally different, only they didn’t dare to approach Xie Suian but instead asked Liang Shiyu.
The Liang Family had known about Old Master Xie falling ill right from the start, but they hadn’t rushed over to visit.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to come, but because Liang Shiyu didn’t want them to.
Because of previous incidents, Liang Shiyu was worried they might stir up more trouble.
The Xie Family was already unhappy lately because of the old master’s poor health; if they caused trouble at this time, the Xie Family would definitely be even more dissatisfied with her.
But when the media exploded with the news about Old Master Xie’s critical illness, Mrs. Liang called Liang Shiyu again.
Liang Shiyu, upon receiving the call and hearing Mrs. Liang’s words, seeing Xie Linchuan’s solemn expression by her side, grew somewhat angry as well.
Liang Shiyu scolded, "Those reports are all nonsense spread by the media. Grandfather is still well right now; stop spouting nonsense!"
Mrs. Liang hastily said, "We haven’t been gossiping about it. We just saw the news and were a bit worried, so we thought to call and ask you."
Liang Shiyu didn’t speak, and Mrs. Liang continued, "After all, we’re relatives by marriage. If there really was something wrong, and we didn’t even go to take a look, wouldn’t that also be very impolite?"
Liang Shiyu was at a loss for words; Mrs. Liang’s point was valid.
Mrs. Liang waited a while and, not hearing Liang Shiyu speak about herself, also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she couldn’t help but want to probe a bit more.
"Shiyu, there’s something else I want to ask you," said Mrs. Liang.
Liang Shiyu was impatient, but she still spoke bluntly, "Go ahead."
"It’s about the will mentioned in the media, do you know what’s going on?" Mrs. Liang asked.
At the mention of this, Liang Shiyu felt a jolt at the bottom of her heart and subconsciously glanced at Xie Linchuan beside her. Seeing that Xie Linchuan was still slightly frowning, Liang Shiyu said, "What will or no will? Isn’t Grandpa doing fine?"
"Yes! I know he’s fine now, but doesn’t he still hold shares? I saw in the media, they said those shares, it’s still unclear how they will be distributed."
"What if they are given to the other two brothers?"
Liang Shiyu’s instinct was to stop Mrs. Liang from meddling in these affairs; it had nothing to do with her—tch, he was still alive and well!
But the words she intended to speak stubbornly refused to come out smoothly, and Liang Shiyu suddenly began to worry about this issue at the bottom of her heart.
Continuing, Mrs. Liang said, "Although Old Master Xie is still well now, you can’t help but make early plans for this. What if the time really comes and Old Master Xie doesn’t have a will? What if those two brothers are unwilling?"
The "two brothers" Mrs. Liang referred to were naturally Xie Yanchuan and Xie Xingchuan.
"Didn’t Xie Yanchuan marry a capable wife? He might not have any ideas, but what about his wife?"
"And that Xie Xingchuan, isn’t he your mother-in-law’s favorite? What if she supports him?"
Mrs. Liang laid out all the possible scenarios to Liang Shiyu one by one.
After Mrs. Liang finished speaking, the two fell silent again. Mrs. Liang knew her daughter took the matter to heart and did not rush to say anything else.
Eventually, Liang Shiyu feigned indifference and said, "Mom, it’s not something we can decide. Grandpa will have arrangements for this. Let’s leave it at that for now."
After the call ended, Liang Shiyu looked over at Xie Linchuan beside her, seeming to want to say something, yet unsure how to start.
In fact, there was no need for Liang Shiyu to say anything. The bedroom had been very quiet; what Mrs. Liang said over the phone had also been heard by Xie Linchuan.
After a long while, Xie Linchuan spoke in a deep voice, "Grandpa’s shares are not that much, he can give them to anyone he wants."
"And..." Xie Linchuan paused, his heart and words not aligning as he said, "And it’s quite normal for the second and third brothers to get the shares since they have less to begin with."
Liang Shiyu’s brows furrowed instantly, thinking where on earth was that normal?
But Xie Linchuan, with his eyes downcast and not seeing Liang Shiyu’s expression, thought to himself that it was indeed the case. They were all part of the Xie Family, and those things were not necessarily his by right.
Even if in the end, Grandpa’s shares went to the second or third brother, it wouldn’t really matter.
However...
Deep down Xie Linchuan felt somewhat uneasy because he had never considered the possibility of Grandpa’s shares going to the second or third brother.
He was the successor of Xie Group, and he had assumed without a doubt that Grandpa’s shares would be left to him.
"It’s getting late; you should rest. I’m going to take a shower," Xie Linchuan said, unable to suppress a wave of irritation in his heart, as he quickly stood up and hurried toward the bathroom.
Watching Xie Linchuan’s retreating figure, Liang Shiyu frowned involuntarily, uncertain of what Xie Linchuan truly meant.
She gave up everything to marry Xie Linchuan, living every day as a full-time housewife, confined to the house. If Xie Linchuan lost his status as the heir to Xie Group,
would it really be worth it?
Compared to these thoughts, Liang Shiyu felt her love for Xie Linchuan might not be that important after all.
