Mr. Hu's funeral service is scheduled for September 24, the third day after the fire.

In the past two days, some of the accident compensation has been distributed, and the emotions of the families of the deceased and the injured have eased a lot. Many people came to the memorial service.

Many people who previously thought the Hu family was incapacitated and had disappeared have reappeared.

However, Hu Jingxin didn't want to dwell on these things right now. She bowed to each of the people who came to visit her father, saying, "Xiao Li, my dad likes lively gatherings. He would be very happy if so many people came to see him off."

Jiang Xiaoli gave Chang Yue a wink, and the two of them helped her to sit down on a chair next to them.

Chang Yue held her hand, "Xin Xin, you can't be like this. Auntie is sick, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Hu Jingxin took a deep breath and said, "I know, I know, I just... can't sleep."

Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Xin Xin, you're overthinking things and worrying too much. Don't rush, let's take things one step at a time."

In the past two days, the Hu family has been calling Hu Jingxin repeatedly to brainwash her, belittling her by saying that the company will go bankrupt soon if she takes over.

At this moment, Hu's second daughter-in-law walked over and said, "Xin Xin, I told you you're a bit delicate. Look at you, you only bowed a few times and then you went to rest on the side? How can you manage such a big company like this?"

Yan Chengcheng, who walked up behind her, snorted coldly, "Hey, Xin Xin's second aunt, if you're healthy, why don't you just bow to Xin Xin a few times? Why do you have to bring up the company in every topic? Do you need to talk to everyone about how you want to seize your niece's inheritance?"

"You!" Hu's second daughter-in-law was speechless after being rebuked by Yan Chengcheng's sharp words and turned away.

Chang Yue couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Chengcheng, you're really good with words!"

"That's how you deal with someone like that! Otherwise, she'll always think Xin Xin is easy to bully!"

Yan Chengcheng handed them the bottles of water she was carrying, saying, "Have some water to soothe your throats. If anyone comes over and acts like a jerk again, just shut them down!"

Hu Jingxin's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. "Chengcheng, thank you."

"Don't thank me!" Yan Chengcheng waved her hand. "Xinxin, you just haven't seen enough. My relatives are much more troublesome than this. It's not just about inheritance; they often argue over New Year's gifts!"

After sitting for a while, Hu Jingxin stood up and returned to the hall to greet the guests.

Half an hour later, the farewell ceremony ended, and after cremation, Mr. Hu moved into his new home.

Before leaving, the Hu family specifically instructed, "Xin Xin, your father has passed away in a grand manner. It's time to bring other matters to the forefront and discuss them. Come to Grandpa's house tomorrow!"

Hu Jingxin lowered her head and said, "Grandpa, see you at the law firm tomorrow. I'll send you the address later."

"A law firm?" The eldest son of the Hu family raised his voice, "Xin Xin, what do you mean by this?"

Grandpa Hu also asked sternly, "Third son's wife! You two think you can turn the world upside down now that the third son is gone?"

Hu Jingxin shielded her mother and turned around to say, "Grandpa, my mother isn't feeling well, so please don't upset her. See you at the law firm tomorrow."

After saying that, she hugged Mrs. Hu and left.

The Hu family gathered together to discuss their strategy for tomorrow, and Jiang Xiaoli and the others were also helping Hu Jingxin analyze the situation.

Chang Yue said, "I think it's like what the lawyer said. We can't give up what belongs to Auntie and Xin Xin, and we should just give what belongs to Xin Xin's grandparents."

Ren Zhiyi sighed, "I don't think their actions are that simple. It seems like they have no intention of giving half to Auntie."

Sure enough, the next day after the two parties met at the law firm, Grandpa Hu said that "Xingyun Daily Chemicals" was founded by his son alone and had nothing to do with his mother. Hu Jingxin was a girl and was not qualified to inherit the company. Everything under Hu's father's name should belong to the two of them.

His statement left the lawyer standing nearby speechless. "Mr. Hu, your son did not leave a will. According to the law, you, your wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are all heirs to your son's estate."

Grandpa Hu's cane thumped on the ground. "The business my son built will belong to the Hu family!"

Mrs. Hu calmly said, "Dad, have you forgotten that Xin Xin's father used my dowry money to start 'Xingyun Daily Chemicals'?"

Grandma Hu immediately flew into a rage and started throwing a tantrum, "I told you you're no good! My son has been raising you like a precious gem all these years, and you can't even give birth to a son, and now you want to bring your daughter to fight us old folks for the inheritance! God—oh God—please strike this heartless wretch to death!"

Hu Jingxin's face immediately darkened. "Grandma, are you sure you want to make a scene like this?"

Grandma Hu continued her tirade, "A heartless mother gave birth to a heartless daughter! She dares to berate her elders in broad daylight! I can't live like this anymore—"

"Mom, let's go." Hu Jingxin stood up abruptly. "Grandpa and Grandma, since you don't want to sit down and discuss Dad's inheritance properly, then let's see you in court. The judge will surely give us a fair judgment! My daughter and I will only take what we are entitled to!"

"Thump!" Grandpa Hu's cane made a loud noise on the floor. "Xin Xin! Grandpa is just worried that it's too much for you, a girl, to manage the company! You're still in school, and you also have a clothing company in Kyoto. How will you manage!"

"Hehe." Hu Jingxin's expression was indifferent. "Grandpa, this is my business."

The eldest son of the Hu family stepped forward, "Xin Xin! Would your grandfather harm you? We just want to provide you with long-term security. You're a girl, you'll get married sooner or later..."

“Uncle!” Hu Jingxin interrupted, “You don’t need to worry about this. My dad has already taken care of it for me.”

She turned to Zhong Yuan and said, "Yuan, you agreed to marry into my family back then. Do you agree now? If you don't back out, come with me to get our marriage certificate this afternoon!"

Zhong Yuan didn't hesitate at all, "No regrets!"

This scene disgusted the Hu family to no end. The second son of the Hu family immediately stood up and said, "Xin Xin, don't act impulsively. Marriage is a big deal. How many good men can marry into the family? You're still young..."

Hu Jingxin ignored him completely, "Second Uncle, A Yuan is the best and most suitable for me! He is also my father's preferred son-in-law!"

Mrs. Hu also spoke up, "A-Yuan was chosen by me and Xin-Xin's father together. Dad, eldest brother, second brother, regarding the inheritance, if you are willing to divide it according to the law, we can discuss the specific division. If you are not willing, we'll see you in court."

The Hu family had no choice but to accept the mother and daughter's resolute attitude.

Grandpa Hu sighed, "We're all family, stop talking about the court. Going to court isn't a good thing!"
