Su Ziqing ignored him and picked up everything she could.

"Madam," the maid suddenly called out.

Su Ziqing did not stop what she was doing.

Old Madam Su walked in with a cold face. "What are you doing here?"

Su Ziqing remained silent.

Her behavior completely enraged the old lady. "I asked you what you're doing here?!"

She put the neatly stacked books back on the bookshelf, but Old Madam Su pushed them all over the floor again.

Su Ziqing's eyes were icy cold. If looks could kill, Old Madam Su would probably be torn to pieces by now.

"Get out of the Su family." Old Madam Su felt a momentary discomfort when she met her cold gaze. However, now Old Master Su was no longer there to back her up.

"I have no intention of letting what you did to me go unpunished," Su Ziqing sneered.

Madam Su straightened her back. "If I can let you in once, I can let you in a second time, before I change my mind..."

"Really? Then why don't you give it a try?" She hadn't prepared before, which was why she fell into their trap. Now, do they really think they can touch her?

Old Madam Su met her gaze, "Su Ziqing..."

"After Grandpa's funeral, I'll settle accounts with you all bit by bit." Su Ziqing didn't want to waste any more words and left with the jewelry box in her arms.

………………………

Su Ziqing arrived at the funeral home with the prepared burial clothes, hoping to ask the makeup artist to give the old man a dignified final resting place, but the news she heard was...

"What did you say?" Cremation in progress? How could it be so fast?

Then he dropped what he was holding and ran straight away.

What they saw was staff bringing out an urn containing cremated remains, saying, "Mr. Su, these are Mr. Su's ashes."

Whether out of guilt or fear, Su Tianming did not take the urn himself, but instead had his bodyguard take it.

"Su Tianming, do you have any humanity left?" Su Ziqing looked at the urn, truly unwilling to believe that her grandfather had been hastily cremated like this.

The memorial service hasn't even started yet!

What wealthy family would so hastily cremate a recently deceased elder? It hasn't even been 24 hours since their death.

Upon hearing Su Ziqing's voice, Su Tianming turned his head to look at her, then spoke something to the funeral home staff before they left.

"Ziqing, you've gone too far. You're becoming increasingly unruly. I won't hold what happened at the Su family's house yesterday against you, but now, out in public, do you have no manners at all?"

"Home education?" He was talking to her about home education? "I just want to know, which family's home education produced someone like you!"

How could they do that?

"Su Ziqing!" Su Tianming's face turned red with anger.

Su Ziqing looked at the urn being held by his bodyguard and stepped forward to take it, but Su Tianming stepped forward and blocked her way, asking, "What are you doing?"

"I'll carry Grandpa's ashes. You're just feeling guilty, aren't you? You can't even carry your own father's urn."

Su Ziqing's words unintentionally touched on Su Tianming's worries, and he became angry and embarrassed, "Su Ziqing, it's none of your business to comment on anything in the Su family."

"I am Grandpa's granddaughter." He didn't dare to hug her, so she did.

However, Su Tianming was determined not to let Su Ziqing touch the urn containing Old Master Su's ashes. "Granddaughter? What kind of granddaughter? Just because you changed your surname to Su, you think you're really part of the Su family? Our Su family is large and prosperous, we don't need another outsider like you."

Su Ziqing sneered, "You have no right."

Her mother is the daughter of the Su family. Her marriage was not a marriage of convenience but rather her father marrying into the family. How can she not be a member of the Su family and not have the surname Su?

"Carry the old man's ashes into the car," Su Tianming instructed his bodyguard.

The bodyguard did as instructed.

Su Ziqing tried to stop him, but the bodyguard almost lost his grip on the urn.

"Su Ziqing, are you trying to smash the old man's urn?" Su Tianming shouted coldly.

The two stared at each other, one glaring angrily, the other giving a cold look.

Su Ziqing finally backed down, "Where are you going to take Grandpa's ashes?"

Should we take it back to the Su family? Normally, aren't the ashes first stored at the funeral home, and then a suitable date is chosen for burial?

“If you take one more step closer, it will be your responsibility if the old man’s urn falls to the ground.” After saying this, Su Tianming turned and left.

The phone rang at that moment, and Su Ziqing answered it, "Attorney Jin, okay, I'm coming over now."

……………………

Attorney Jin is the chief lawyer in City A. He is in his fifties and was one of the people that Old Master Su trusted most during his lifetime.

"Hello, Ms. Su." Attorney Jin handed her his business card.

Su Ziqing knew of Attorney Jin, but this was the first time she had met him in person. She took the business card and sat down.

Attorney Jin cut to the chase, "Ms. Su, are you aware of Mr. Su's meeting with Attorney Wu?"

"Attorney Wu?" Su Ziqing looked puzzled.

Attorney Jin explained, "He and I were both the old man's lawyers during his lifetime. He consulted with both of us about the will and the distribution of his property, and also had our law firm handle these matters."

“Miss Su, the old man just passed away, and I shouldn’t be contacting you like this, but Mr. Su Tianming already contacted Attorney Wu last night.”

"last night?"

"As far as I know, it happened right after the old man passed away..." The wealthy families have enormous assets, and in the face of interests, family ties cannot withstand the test. However, it is rare in City A for a family like the Su family to not even bother with pretense.

Having gone through the cremation incident, Su Ziqing didn't seem to find it so hard to accept that Su Tianming had hired a lawyer immediately after the old man's death.

"Su Tianming and Su Tianhao have always been engaged in a power struggle, both openly and secretly." The two uncles have long been secretly vying for who should receive the larger share of the inheritance.

It's truly tragic that Grandpa's life's work is being divided up by his two sons like this. They might even end up in court together, becoming a laughing stock among the wealthy families of City A.

“Miss Su,” Attorney Jin said, looking at Su Ziqing, “you are the biggest beneficiary of Mr. Su’s plan to distribute his estate.”

"Me?" Hearing this, Su Ziqing was genuinely surprised. "How could that be?"

Grandpa loved her, but she also knew how he treated her two uncles, after all, they were his sons.

"The old man divided his assets into two parts: assets and cash. You can get 30% of each."

Su Ziqing stared blankly at Attorney Jin for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "Attorney Jin, are you kidding me?"

Grandpa wants to give her 30% of his assets and cash?

“Miss Su, the old man has been making plans for the distribution of the estate since last year. This plan of 30% of the assets and cash was finalized by him just a couple of days ago.”

Su Ziqing knew that the old man loved her, but after all, she was a grandchild. No matter how much he loved her, he could never surpass her two uncles. At least, that's what she always thought.
