Chapter 333 All Given to Adopted Granddaughter

Those whose names weren't called all revealed envious, jealous, and resentful looks.

This is especially true for Jiangning.

After all, in their view, Lin Jingcheng would leave his legacy to anyone but Jiang Ning.

However, Jiang Ning happened to be among the names called by the lawyer.

"It's possible that Grandpa Lin will only give her one yuan!"

"Really?"

"Anyway, I don't believe the old man would be willing to give her any inheritance. Isn't she a scourge to our Lin family?"

"Old Master Lin listens to Master Huang's words the most."

These rumors were actually pretty much what Jiang Ning was thinking.

She didn't believe Lin Jingcheng would be willing to leave her anything.

After entering the study, Jiang Ning sat at the very back.

The chairs had been set out long ago.

Seeing that Lin Wanrong was very confident, she sat in the first row, right next to Lin Yueheng.

Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai sat in the second row.

One of them is Lin Jingcheng's older brother, and the other is Lin Jingcheng's younger brother.

One is in politics, the other is in business.

It was all arranged by Lin Jingcheng.

Wang Jun stood in front of the desk, holding Lin Jingcheng's will in his white-gloved hands.

The will was sealed, and it looked very solemn and mysterious.

"Now, I will begin reading the will that Old Master Lin Jingcheng made before his death..."

As Wang Jun said those words, Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai both sat up straight, their backs ramrod straight.

Jiang Ning noticed that Lin Wanrong didn't react in any particular way; she was calm and confident.

Even though her eyes were swollen from crying, her pupils seemed to be even brighter because of the tears.

Jiang Ning seemed to see the undisguised ambition in those eyes.

"I, Lin Jingcheng, am of sound mind and full capacity for civil conduct when making this will. The following are my final wishes regarding the distribution of my estate, and I hope everyone will comply with them..."

"My elder brother Lin Fengyu and younger brother Lin Zhonghai... will each receive the property rights to villas on Y Island and L Island, as well as a trust fund of one billion US dollars... but they must immediately resign from their current positions and will not be allowed to interfere in the management affairs of any of Lin's businesses in any form in the future..."

Upon hearing the will, Lin Yueheng unconsciously frowned and glanced at Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai.

The two people's expressions were different from what he expected; they didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

"All my real estate, except for those on Y Island and L Island, all my vehicles, jewelry, artwork, and auction proceeds... belong to my only son, Lin Yueheng..."

The wrinkles between Lin Yueheng's brows deepened.

"As for Jiangning..."

Jiang Ning's eyelids lifted slightly when his name was suddenly called.

"Inherit the charitable foundation under my name."

A big question mark appeared in Jiang Ning's mind.

"The remaining Lin family members will all receive one million US dollars in living and education funds, which will be distributed by Attorney Wang in the form of checks."

"Finally, regarding the Lin Group and all assets under my name, including but not limited to group shares, investment funds, and patent ownership..."

The real bombshell is the final, grand finale.

However, Jiang Ning had already roughly guessed it before Wang Jun said it.

"It will all be inherited by my adopted granddaughter, Lin Wanrong."

What?

Lin Yueheng's surprised gaze fell directly on Lin Wanrong.

Lin Wanrong was also surprised, covering her mouth and staring wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

Of everyone present, Jiang Ning was the most composed.

She had never been interested in Lin Jingcheng's wealth in the first place.

Lin Jingcheng didn't react much to the fact that he gave all his most valuable assets to Lin Wanrong.

She simply watched Lin Wanrong, who was both surprised and delighted, and thought to herself:

This surprise... it can't be faked, right?

When Jiang Ning came out of the study, he saw that all the other members of the Lin family were gathered at the door of the study, craning their necks, seemingly full of curiosity about the distribution of Lin Jingcheng's inheritance.

There were a few people she didn't know well, but they seemed very hostile towards her, and immediately asked Wang Jun what she had been assigned.

Wang Jun was a very professional lawyer who refused to answer any questions about the estate. He simply gathered Lin's relatives together and distributed the one million US dollar checks according to Lin Jingcheng's will.

"Hey, I just asked Wanrong, and all the companies under Old Master Lin's name have been given to her... She's practically the person in charge of the Lin family now!"

"I also heard about Jiang Ning... she only received the old man's charity foundation, it's hilarious."

"Charitable foundations? What's the use of those?!"

"That's right... but I never expected the old man to give all his assets to an adopted granddaughter."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

As Lin Yueheng left the study, his gaze was not on Jiang Ning.

Rather, it lies with Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai.

Aside from going to Wang Jun to complete the formalities, the two of them did nothing else.

At this moment, Lin Wanrong came to his side.

"dad……"

Lin Wanrong's eyes were still red, and her face, already streaked with tears, showed little joy in inheriting the estate.

"Although Grandpa had been grooming me to be the successor to the company, I never expected him to entrust me with managing such a large conglomerate and all the companies under his name... Dad, do you think I'm up to the task?"

Meeting Lin Wanrong's incredibly sincere eyes, Lin Yueheng patted her on the shoulder.

"Your grandfather believes in you, and you should believe in yourself too... If there's anything you don't understand, your mother and I will teach you."

"Yes, thank you, Dad..."

“You’ve been a member of the Lin family for a long time, you’re my daughter, so you don’t need to be so polite with me.”

After hearing Lin Yueheng's words, Lin Wanrong was moved to tears.

Without saying much to Lin Wanrong, Lin Yueheng left the old house.

Because he saw Jiang Ning walk out quickly.

"Ah... Jiang Ning!"

Jiang Ning turned around at the sound and saw Lin Yueheng running towards her with great speed.

"Could you...could you take a walk with me?"

Lin Yueheng asked, panting heavily.

Jiang Ning initially wanted to answer no.

However, she inadvertently noticed Lin Yueheng's sideburns.

His temples were all white.

Jiang Ning was startled.

If she remembered correctly, Lin Yueheng should not be fifty years old yet.

It turns out that... her biological father already had graying temples before he was even fifty years old.

"……Can……"

The words "no" that were on the tip of Jiang Ning's tongue changed, and Jiang Ning saw Lin Yueheng breathe a sigh of relief.

She followed Lin Yueheng to the beach.

The ocean is vast and boundless, with surging waves, giving people an impression of being limitless and full of power.

Jiang Ning never expected Lin Yueheng to bring her here.

There weren't many people at the beach at this time.

It should be said that it was only her and Lin Yueheng.

She walked side by side with Lin Yueheng, and the sand beneath her feet was softer and finer than she had imagined.

Lin Yueheng remained silent, and Jiang Ning did not initiate a conversation.

After the sound of the waves had echoed in Jiang Ning's ears countless times, Jiang Ning finally heard Lin Yueheng speak:
