Chapter 192 He altered the will

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shiyuan told Ye Yu everything about seeing her in the TV series.

"He's...an actor?!"

Ye Yu gasped, "I had absolutely no recollection of this person, and suddenly she appeared as your mother's classmate. It felt a bit strange! There was definitely something fishy going on!"

"However, I checked, and her identity is not fake. She does indeed live in the United States and has indeed married into a wealthy family, becoming the mistress of the RC Group."

Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath to calm herself down. "If she wanted to lie to me, she could have used a fake name and a fake identity. There was no need for her to show me her true self."

"So...she wasn't trying to lie to you? She just wanted to find a reason to return your mother's shares to you?"

Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly, "Very likely."

Ye Yu was puzzled. "But since she has nothing to do with your mother, how come your mother's shares are in her hands? I've seen it, and the agreement is real and valid. Your mother is a meticulous person, and she would never entrust something that concerns the fate of the company to someone she doesn't know well."

Jiang Shiyuan shook her head, her tone quite composed, "It's unclear at the moment. But the fact that Ms. Guo didn't embezzle the shares but returned them to me is enough to prove that she had no ill intentions towards me. After all, money is the best touchstone for human nature, isn't it?"

Ye Yu's mind raced, and he immediately realized, "Then there's one possibility: someone is behind Ms. Guo, instructing her to do this?"

Jiang Shiyuan paused slightly and remained silent.

Because that's what she thought too; someone was secretly helping her, and Ms. Guo was just a smokescreen.

“Ah Yuan, don’t worry, I will continue to investigate this Ms. Guo for you. If she contacts you again, you can’t let your guard down.”

Jiang Shiyuan responded softly, "I will be more careful."

"By the way, Xiao Qi just replied to my message. I was planning to tell you tomorrow."

Ye Yu's voice turned stern. "Your uncle has been sued by two companies that cooperated with him. After all, he cut corners by selling inferior goods and was suspected of smuggling, which infringed on the interests of his partners."

He will not only face imprisonment but also be burdened with huge debts, making his situation far from optimistic. Although Yongheng is currently in trouble, it has to be said that he has conveniently eliminated a major problem for you, saving you from fighting with your uncle. Now that you hold shares and are the founder's only daughter, the company's management naturally falls into your hands.

"It's quite normal that my uncle has been in charge of Yongheng for so many years, and he has been able to control everything in the company. His personal desires have grown increasingly inflated."

Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyelids, her expression cold and indifferent. She was no longer the weak and indecisive young girl burdened by emotions. "This matter is a bloody lesson. Although he is my family, I will never interfere."

Only when his uncle truly suffers a serious setback and learns the lesson will he remember it.

After being arrested, Jiang Yongxiao was interrogated at the police station for two full days, and then spent three days in the detention center.

He's supposed to be the chairman of the board, yet things have come to this point; he's completely lost face.

That day, Secretary Zhang came to visit him, her heart filled with anxiety as she looked through the iron fence.

“Chairman Jiang! My creditors are calling me every day, they've even come to the company! And Boss Cheng is also pressing me for the three million yuan worth of jadeite rough you bought earlier. You have to think of something!”

"That old Cheng! He always says he's not in a hurry, but now that I'm in trouble, he's suddenly rushing me at this critical moment. He's a real bastard!"

Jiang Yongxiao looked haggard and had a scruffy beard, but he still maintained the air of a chairman. He paced anxiously in the cell with his hands behind his back, asking, "How's my niece? Any news?"

Secretary Zhang shook his head. "No... If you had, would you still be locked up here for so long? You would have been released long ago."

Jiang Yongxiao stomped his feet in exasperation.

Secretary Zhang continued to fan the flames, "I'm not trying to be mean, Mr. Jiang, but your young lady is incredibly heartless! So many days have passed since your accident, has she even visited you once? Has she found you a lawyer? Has she even considered bailing you out? Absolutely not! Isn't she just leaving you to fend for yourself?"

"What a heartless, ungrateful brat! Just like her dead mother!" Jiang Yongxiao stood with his hands on his hips, so angry that his vision blurred.

There was a secret that only he and Secretary Zhang knew.

That is—

He altered his own sister's will.

In Jiang Buyu's original will, the 45% of shares belonged to her daughter, Jiang Shiyuan, including the villa in Qiuyi Pavilion where he now lives, which was also left to Jiang Shiyuan.

However, he, her older brother who grew up with her and helped her manage her business, ended up with nothing! He had come up empty-handed, and how could he possibly swallow this bitter pill?

So, taking advantage of his sister's terminal illness and delirium, he altered the will, embezzled the shares, the company, and everything that rightfully belonged to his niece.

To this day, Jiang Shiyuan is still completely unaware of the truth and keeps calling him "uncle." What a stupid and shameless girl!

No wonder Xie Jinghuai disliked her and she was completely outclassed by the Lin family girl!

Secretary Zhang added fuel to the fire, continuing to slander, "Chairman Jiang, I suspect that Miss Jiang's silence and indifference towards you are entirely intentional!"

"What do you mean?!"

"If you are trapped in a detention center and can't get out, or even end up being sentenced, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary?"

Secretary Zhang lowered her voice, "Your niece is determined to become the president of Eternal, and wants to join the management team. Her ambition is obvious. If you fall, she can naturally take over Eternal. Isn't that exactly what she wants?"

Seeing you in trouble, she's probably laughing in her sleep right now!

"What a scheming little brat... She wants to kick me while I'm down, to take this opportunity to trample on me? She's dreaming!"

Jiang Yongxiao gritted his teeth in hatred, "Not to mention that I've been in the business world for many years and I'm not so easy to fall. Even if I do fall, I won't let that damn girl get away with it!"

Secretary Zhang nodded repeatedly, "You're right!"

Jiang Yongxiao paced back and forth in his cell.

Suddenly, he stopped, narrowed his shrewd eyes, and a sinister smirk appeared on his lips:

“I’m divorced and have no children. Who else can those creditors ask for money from besides me?”

Secretary Zhang's expression froze, then a sudden realization dawned on him, and he smiled sinisterly:

"I understand what you mean."

...

These past few days, Jiang Shiyuan has indeed not gone to see Jiang Yongxiao, because she has been too busy.

Yongheng Technology is currently facing a series of troubles, including a credibility crisis, a broken capital chain, a complete shutdown of the entire new energy workshop, and turmoil within the company. In just one week, ten employees have submitted their resignations, including some core members of the R&D team.

Jiang Yongxiao's arrest actually helped him avoid the limelight.

Jiang Shiyuan, however, was so anxious every day that he couldn't sleep or eat, and he kept trying to find a way to break Yongheng's current predicament.

Although she now owns 30% of the shares, the majority still belongs to her uncle.

Even if she were to force a board meeting now as the major shareholder, would those old guys who live a life of luxury with Jiang Yongxiao let a newcomer like her ride on their heads?

Moreover, with Eternal now leaderless, it's the perfect time to take advantage of their misfortune.

Even if Jiang Shiyuan meets all the standards for advancement, they will do everything they can to trip her up and never let her have her way.

Tonight, as soon as Su Xier returned from abroad, she immediately arranged to meet Jiang Shiyuan at the Moonlit West Tower.

In the private room, Su Xier pulled her slightly cool hand and forcefully stuffed a bank card into it.

“This is…” Jiang Shiyuan was stunned.

"There are seven million in this card, which is what I've saved up over the years."

Su Xier was afraid she would return the money, so she tightly wrapped her hands around hers. "I have no worries about food or clothing now, and my grandmother's health is very stable. This money is just worthless if it stays in there."

I know your mother's company is in trouble and urgently needs funds. Take this money, don't worry about it; it's not much, but it's better than nothing.

"No, I can't take your money!"

Jiang Shiyuan's almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears, and she pushed the card back forcefully. "Only I know how hard it was for you to save this money, and what if your grandmother's condition gets better or worse, and she needs money in the future?"

I still have some savings, enough to stabilize the situation for now, so you don't need to worry about me.

The two argued for a while, but Jiang Shiyuan was too stubborn, and Su Xier couldn't persuade her otherwise. In the end, she still couldn't send the money away.

"Shiyuan, did you go to Fu Chenzhou for help? What did he say?"

Jiang Shiyuan felt a slight tightness in her chest, but she showed no regret or resentment; she simply shook her head gently.

"He... won't help you?"

Su Xier's pupils contracted sharply, she could hardly believe it, "You two went through so much together, you had such a good relationship, how could this be..."

"Actually, it's always been me who owes him, and he's always owed me. And even if I helped him before, I have no right to morally blackmail him."

Faced with Fu Chenzhou's refusal to help, Jiang Shiyuan felt down and upset, but now she has come to terms with it. "He has his own considerations and his own stance. We are just strangers who met by chance. When it comes to the crucial moment, we should each go our own way and act independently."

"I never expected him to be such a cold-blooded person. Could it be that I really misjudged him this time?"

Su Xier was even more disappointed than Jiang Shiyuan. She thought her best friend had finally found her true love, but reality slapped her in the face.

Jiang Shiyuan smiled nonchalantly, "Relying on others will lead to their downfall, and relying on mountains will lead to their collapse. In the end, people still have to rely on themselves."

Su Xi'er ate her meal in silence, lost in thought.

...

After the two finished their meal and came out of the restaurant, Su Xier wanted to take Jiang Shiyuan home, but the car she had called was already at the door.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the gate of the residential area.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't let the driver drive in. Instead, she got out of the car and walked for a while, enjoying the evening breeze and clearing her mind.

She walked into the building and took the elevator upstairs.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and she walked towards her front door, her mind heavy with worry.

In the dim light, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly jolted violently, and the next second, she screamed "Ah!"
