Chapter 91: The Large Dog Ignored by Its Owner

I see.

Gu Manman finally understood everything.

She understood why Qin Wan had come to her so eagerly and why he had begged her tearfully to move back to the Qin residence to accompany the old man on his last journey.

It’s not that I’m afraid that she will get a bigger share of the inheritance.

But without her, no one in the Qin family would be able to get any exposure to this enormous wealth.

She is the only key to unlock this huge inheritance.

Gu Manman felt the gazes that almost wanted to eat her alive, and her heart went cold.

She could clearly feel the undisguised calculation and unwillingness behind those gazes.

If she was really a helpless, cowardly and vulnerable orphan with no background and no one to rely on, she might not survive more than three days after walking out of the Qin family's gate.

"Lawyer Li."

"Miss Gu, is there anything else?"

Everyone's attention was focused on Gu Manman again.

Gu Manman stood up from the sofa and walked calmly to the lawyer.

She glanced at everyone in the Qin family present, and finally landed on the lawyer.

"Please excuse me, Lawyer Li. I would like to make a will now."

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell into silence.

Qin Wan was also stunned, with a stiff expression on his face.

"If I die," Gu Manman continued, her voice clear and every word struck everyone's heart, "all the inheritance I inherited from the Qin family, including movable and immovable property, as well as all the shares of Qin's Jewelry, will be donated to charity organizations. The will will take effect immediately."

"!!!"

There was a sound of gasps in the main hall.

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

Gu Manman looked at their colorful expressions and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Why?!" a sharp female voice sounded, filled with anger and offended grievance.

The person who spoke was a young girl next to Qin Wan who was dressed fashionably. She looked to be in her early twenties and was pointing at Gu Manman with a flushed face.

She is Qin Wan's daughter, Qin Yue.

"My mother has been busy all the time for grandma! Why can you, a newcomer, donate money just like that?!" She raised her voice and cried, "The money should have belonged to the Qin family!"

Qin Yue's voice seemed to have lit the fuse.

"That's right! Manman, what you said is too..." The middle-aged woman in the dark green cheongsam spoke up, with a complaining tone, "We are all family, how can you be so distant?"

"How much effort have we put in for the Qin family and the company? The old lady passed away suddenly, leaving behind such a big business. How can you, a young girl who knows nothing, manage it?" Another slightly fat middle-aged man took over, trying to act like an elder, "This inheritance should belong to those of us who have worked hard for the family for many years..."

"Yes! You have only been back for a few days? The Qin family belongs to the Qin family, not to an outsider like you!"

"This is simply nonsense! Donating the Qin family's assets? Have you thought about the consequences?"

A cacophony of voices rang out, accusing, complaining, and hypocritically persuading.

Gu Manman stood there, listening to the noisy sounds, and even found it a little funny.

"So," Gu Manman's voice was not loud, but it was clear above the noise, "You think that after I die, the money will be yours?"

Qin Yue was choked by her look, her face turned even redder, and she stiffened her neck: "That's not what I meant! I meant..."

"What does that mean?"

"Do you think I'm in the way?"

As soon as she said this, the crowd, who had been so excited just now, seemed to be strangled by the neck and their voices stopped abruptly.

The main hall fell silent again. Gu Manman knew that they were not afraid of her, but of her identity as the new master of the Qin family.

Gu Manman stopped looking at them and turned to Lawyer Li and said, "Excuse me, please help me deal with the will as soon as possible."

After saying that, she walked towards the door, and the two "female assistants" immediately followed.

Behind him, the eyes of the Qin family were almost spitting fire.

Lawyer Li pushed his glasses up, and his heart was also in turmoil.

This newly recognized Miss Gu's methods are really...clever and efficient.

Qin Wan looked at the direction where Gu Manman left. She had planned everything, but she hadn't expected that Gu Manman would be so stubborn and directly cut off the source of her trouble.

Qin Yue wanted to say something, but her mother next to her held her arm tightly.

Gu Manman's words, "If I die, will this money be yours?", exposed all the hypocritical cover-ups of everyone.

Yeah, that's what they thought.

But now, she has cut off her only hope.

If she died, they would gain nothing.

So, from now on, I can only please her and make a living under her?

Gu Manman walked down the corridor, and an assistant behind her reported in a low voice: "The communications of several key members of the Qin family have been monitored."

She uttered a soft "hmm".

She knew that the will just now was a sword hanging over the heads of the Qin family, making them dare not act rashly for the time being.

But she also knew that this was far from enough.

Human nature is greedy, and there will always be people who take risks.

The Qin family's wealth was more like a heavy yoke to her.

She has no interest in the money.

But no one can take away what belongs to her by dirty means.

She wanted to see what other tricks these people could come up with.

In Qin Wan's courtyard, priceless porcelain was scattered all over the floor.

"Mom! Look at her arrogant look! What does she mean by donating everything? What right does she have to do that?" Qin Yue's breathing was rapid, and her facial features were distorted in anger. "That will is so vicious! She did it on purpose! To disgust us!"

She stamped her feet and pointed in the direction of the door: "It's all your fault! You shouldn't have brought her back in the first place! You let a wolf into the house! Now you feel better, right? As soon as grandma left, she turned her back on me!"

Qin Wan sat in a rosewood armchair, slowly twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand, oblivious to the mess on the floor.

She looked up at her exasperated daughter.

"Yueyue, what's the hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious?! It's like a duck in my mouth..."

"Shut up!" Qin Wan interrupted her, his tone cold, "If you lose patience, it will only lead to bad things."

She stood up, walked to her daughter, and tidied her messy hair. Her movements were gentle, but her eyes were full of deep calculation: "That will is just a trick she used to scare people. As a young girl, does she really think she can sit firmly in the Qin family's chair?"

"Hold it for now," Qin Wan patted the back of his daughter's hand, "Don't provoke her, let alone confront her head-on. Just wait and see, things...are not over yet."

When I returned to the room, my cell phone vibrated and the caller ID displayed "F".

Gu Manman looked at the letters on the screen, her fingertips lingering on the edge of the screen for a few seconds, and finally pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

"It's me." Feng Mingzhou's voice came through the radio waves, with undisguised worry, "...are you okay?"

"Um."

"The Qin family is in deep trouble. I'm worried." He paused, as if he was organizing his words. "I've added more people outside to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. If there's any disturbance, they'll handle it."

Gu Manman didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Feng Mingzhou's voice sounded again, slower and with a hint of persuasion: "Don't hold on, if there's anything... call me."

Gu Manman remained silent.

Feng Mingzhou added: "Go to bed early."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, the wind blew outside the window, shaking the shadows of the trees.

Things in the Qin family became more and more bizarre. She tossed and turned and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

At this time, in the study room of the western suburbs villa, Feng Mingzhou looked at the call duration displayed on the mobile phone screen - thirty-two seconds.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised an arc that he couldn't suppress for a long time.

She answered his call.

Although she didn't say a word throughout the whole process, she answered.

Feng Mingzhou leaned back in his chair, a long-lost, almost carnival-like pleasure welling up in his chest.

Just like a large dog that has been neglected by its owner for a long time, it suddenly gets a look of praise from its owner and is so satisfied that it wants to wag its tail.
