Chapter 184 The Will May Have Problems

Jiang Shiyuan was drinking iced lemon tea when she heard this. She bit down on the straw, and a sharp pain spread throughout her body.

In the early days, the relationship between Lin Chengchou's mother and his mother was relatively harmonious. Or perhaps it could be said that Lin Chengchou was still inexperienced and needed to rely on his mother's talent to help him lay a foundation, so he always pretended to be compliant and endured it.

Later, Lin Chengchou gradually began to subject his mother to emotional abuse, and often used social engagements and business trips as excuses to not return home for half the year.

She had secretly reminded her mother before.

But at that time, my mother was completely focused on her career.

In order to open up opportunities for Lin Chengchou's company, his mother completely gave up her social life and daily life. She never imagined that one day, the man who once knelt in front of her and promised to be good to her and pamper her for life would really betray her.

"Ah Yuan, don't overthink it. Just focus on your studies. There's nothing wrong between your mom and dad."

"Your father is a very good man. How could he possibly betray your mother? Absolutely not."

Only deep love can lead to complete trust.

But Lin Chengchou, after establishing himself in Beijing, gradually revealed his cold-hearted and treacherous nature as a scoundrel.

During that period, the economic crisis hit, the overall environment was bad, core members of my mother's research and development team were poached, and funding problems arose. Over time, my mother developed severe anxiety and depression.

However, during that darkest period of her life, one day, when her mother came to the company's R&D department, she was shocked to see photos scattered all over the floor—

All of them are intimate bed photos of Lin Chengchou and Liu Nianrou.

Those disgusting photos, like sharp knives, brutally ripped out the mother's heart and ruthlessly crushed her dignity in the shocked and mocking gazes of the crowd.

After that day, my mother's condition deteriorated rapidly, and her mental state fluctuated.

Later, my mother went insane.

After Lin Chengchou sent his mother to a mental hospital, he turned around and welcomed the Liu family mother and daughter into the house.

Not only that, he secretly transferred most of Yongheng's assets, leaving his uncle with an empty shell.

Six months after her mother's death, Jiang Shiyuan happened to see something on television—

The technical backbone who had been poached from his mother's team was surprisingly present at the opening ceremony of Yuntu Oriental Technology, founded by Lin Chengchou.

In that instant, she understood everything.

From beginning to end, it was a terrifying conspiracy.

My mother was driven insane by Lin Chengchou.

“My mother died suddenly of a heart attack in a mental hospital. She left us very suddenly. When I rushed to the hospital from school, she was already lying in the cold morgue. I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to her properly.” Jiang Shiyuan closed her red eyes tightly, the painful memories hitting her again.

A dull ache rose in Ye Yu's heart. He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Jiang Shiyuan's trembling shoulder:

"Ah Yuan, don't be sad, your senior brother will always be with you."

He didn't make empty promises; he kept his word.

Jiang Shiyuan lowered her slightly moist eyelashes and gently shook her head.

Her frail body withstood the pain of losing loved ones, her father's indifference, her husband's betrayal, and her son's hatred... She felt that for the rest of her life, no matter how difficult things were, she could endure them.

As for my senior, he has his own life and his own path to walk, and he shouldn't invest too much in her.

"Senior brother, that's enough. I haven't paid back the 50 million you lent me when we terminated the contract with Xie's last time." Jiang Shiyuan smiled, suppressing her emotions.

Ye Yu immediately became serious, "If you mention money to me again, then there won't be a next time."

Okay, let's not talk about it anymore.

When I have the money, I can just pay it back.

Ye Yu then asked, "A-Yuan, was your mother always mentally unstable back then, or was she sometimes lucid and sometimes confused?"

“Sometimes, my mother is lucid, but these moments become less and less frequent in the later stages.”

Ye Yu, with his years of experience as a lawyer, was quick-witted and perceptive, and immediately sensed that something was amiss:

“Your mother’s health didn’t suddenly deteriorate; it was gradually weakening. Given Ms. Jiang’s forward-thinking nature, and the fact that she is the company’s chairperson, it’s impossible that she didn’t make a will for you in advance.”

“My mother made a will, which clearly stated that the management of the company would be transferred to my uncle, and that my uncle would also hold most of the company’s shares on my behalf. The shares would be transferred to me after I come of age.”

Jiang Shiyuan sighed helplessly, "However, after I came of age, I did not ask my uncle to return the shares. Instead, I followed Professor Xue and devoted myself to scientific research. I never asked about the company's affairs again."

"Nominee shareholding? Instead of through a trust?"

Ye Yu found it increasingly bizarre, his brows furrowing. "Holding shares on behalf of someone else is very risky. What if the nominee shareholder reneges on the agreement? You need complete evidence to prove that the shares held by Jiang Yongxiao were left to you by your mother. But more than ten years have passed, and the evidence is probably long gone. Even if you go to court, you won't be able to get back the shares that rightfully belong to you."

Ah-Yuan, do you think your mother is such a rash person who doesn't think about your future?

Jiang Shiyuan gasped, lowering her voice, "You mean... my uncle embezzled the shares that belonged to my mother and altered the will?"

"I can only say that I cannot rule out this possibility."

Ye Yu pondered for a moment, “After all, I’ve handled too many inheritance disputes over the years. I’ve seen all sorts of scoundrels fighting for family property, so when I encounter something like this, I always instinctively think the worst of people. Considering your uncle’s attitude towards you now, there’s probably something fishy going on here.”

Jiang Shiyuan clenched her teeth, lost in thought.

In fact, she had no interest in vying for power and profit; her ambition lay elsewhere, in scientific research and technology.

She knew all too well that her uncle, who had controlled Eternity for over a decade and had tasted the life of a big boss, would not easily return Eternity to her. Originally, if he had done a good enough job and devoted himself wholeheartedly, she wouldn't have cared who managed the company.

But now...

"Ah Yuan, you told me before that your uncle owns 45% of the shares. What about the rest? Who owns them?"

Jiang Shiyuan came to her senses and said, "A small amount is still in the hands of a few shareholders, but I don't know the rest of the majority yet."

"We need to investigate as soon as possible and try to take it back quickly, or find a way to get the major shareholder on your side."

Ye Yuqing's handsome face suddenly darkened. "Judging from the current situation, only in this way will you have the strength to fight your uncle."

Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly, and was about to speak when a murmur suddenly came from the next table:

"I just saw a fresh, hot news notification: Yongheng Technology Company has gone bankrupt."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan and Ye Yu were both stunned and turned to look at each other.
