After Lawrence arrived, Bai Qiongyu immediately changed her will.
The first point above states that in the event of Bai Qiongyu's unnatural death, all of her fixed assets, stocks, companies, and collections will be donated. Unnatural death here includes, but is not limited to, accidents such as car accidents, poisoning, and falls.
The first clause directly eliminated any motive the stepson and stepdaughter might have to harm Bai Qiongyu.
Bai Qiongyu did not die of natural causes, so her stepson and stepdaughter will not receive a single penny.
At the same time, the property transfer agreement that had not yet been signed was also revoked.
After the notarization took effect, Bai Qiongyu only had Xianglan by her side.
Xin Wei and Xin An'an, having not received the property transfer promised by their stepmother for a long time, began to subtly inquire about it.
“Mother, you’re busy with the company and it must be very tiring. Why don’t we help you out?” Xin An’an said affectionately as she sat down next to her stepmother.
Bai Qiongyu smiled and said, "You are still young and need experience!"
Hearing this, Xin Wei and Xin An'an were unhappy, but they didn't show it on their faces. They smiled and said, "But seeing how hard you're working, we feel sorry for you!"
"Hehe, you must be very busy too," Bai Qiongyu said softly, without continuing.
However, Xin Wei and Xin An'an felt a little guilty upon hearing this.
Yes, if I weren't busy, why would I only come here once every month or two?
Every weekend they went to a manor near the city that their father had left them, where their mother lived.
The children love the lively atmosphere there, but they don't like the quietness here!
"Then we'll come and keep you company more often," Xin An'an said with a smile, not wanting to continue talking about the property transfer.
Christmas came again the following year. They had promised to come, but they still didn't.
However, Bai Qiongyu was very sad last year, but after she came to terms with it, she was no longer sad.
The next day, Bai Qiongyu took Xianglan on a vacation.
When Xin Wei and Xin An'an arrived with their families, the place was already deserted.
At that point, they realized something was wrong.
When Bai Qiongyu and Xianglan returned from their vacation, they were in a very good mood.
Xin An'an explained that the reason they didn't come that day was because her child especially liked the ponies at the estate and kept asking to go.
Xin Wei also shifted the blame onto the child and even made the child apologize to Bai Qiongyu.
Bai Qiongyu simply smiled and said, "You are closer to your biological mother, and it's understandable that the children like their grandmother. I have no objection to that!"
The more Bai Qiongyu acted this way, the more uncertain Xin Wei and Xin An'an felt.
After they got home, Ye Weiwen was furious and cursed, wishing Bai Qiongyu were dead. Then she did something stupid.
They actually wanted to cause a car accident!
At this time, Ye Weiwen was unaware that Bai Qiongyu had changed the doctor's orders.
However, he was caught on the spot by Bai Qiongyu's men who were already prepared, but he preferred to go to jail rather than reveal the mastermind.
It doesn't matter who the mastermind is, since she wasn't harmed and it's not hard to guess who the mastermind is.
Bai Qiongyu summoned Mr. Lawrence and the notary, and read aloud the revised will on the spot.
Xin Wei and Xin An'an were dumbfounded.
"Mother, do you suspect we did something?" Xin An'an said hurriedly. "Mother, we wouldn't do such a thing for money! After all, you raised us."
“Mother, we respect you very much and will take good care of you,” Xin Wei said in a deep voice, cursing his mother a thousand times in his heart.
More trouble than they're worth.
Bai Qiongyu smiled and said, "I believe you are good children, but I don't trust your mother. You know very well what kind of person Ye Weiwen is, and I know it too. Isn't she doing all this for money?"
“Mother, it’s not like that…” Xin An’an wanted to explain further, “We only wanted to come that day because…”
"Alright, that's all for now. I'm a little tired," Bai Qiongyu said with a smile. At this moment, Xianglan came over to see the guest out.
Left with no other choice, Xin Wei had to leave with Xin An'an.
After leaving, Xin An'an complained inwardly, "I shouldn't have gone to Mommy's that day. Now look what happened, everything's gone wrong."
Xin Wei scratched his head and said, "You know, if we don't go there, Mommy will threaten to kill herself. No matter what, she's our birth mother."
“Yes, Mommy was quite pitiful back then,” Xin An’an said with emotion. “This time, Mommy did something like this, how could my stepmother, who is so smart, not see it? She was probably already disappointed in us last year, and this year she is probably completely disappointed.”
"Sigh!" Xin Wei sighed, "We went too far. Forget it, let's go back and tell Mom not to act recklessly. With such a will, if anything happens to our stepmother, we won't be able to get the Bai family's property, let alone the Xin family's property."
"Yes!" Xin An'an was annoyed and inwardly resented her mother.
Standing upstairs, Bai Qiongyu watched the backs of her stepdaughter and stepson, feeling a deep sadness.
Instead of raising their own children, they devoted themselves to raising other people's children, only to end up like this.
This is her punishment for abandoning her son!
You deserve to suffer like this!
Her willfulness hurt her own son, and she can't see him to this day.
She wanted to find her son, but could a woman like her earn his forgiveness?
She was scared and hesitant.
Caught in a dilemma, Bai Qiongyu hesitated to send anyone to search for her.
However, she knew that Xianglan would go to look for her.
Time flies. Bai Qiongyu looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she had more white hair, more wrinkles on her face, and her once bright eyes were no longer clear. She no longer had the beauty of her youth.
"Miss, dinner is ready." Xianglan came up and looked at her mistress, who seemed lost and dejected.
"While we're both still healthy, we can't wait any longer," Xianglan said. "Let's go find the young lady tomorrow."
Two streams of tears flowed down Bai Qiongyu's face as she said bitterly, "Fine!"
Xianglan and Bai Qiongyu supported each other, silently shedding tears.
After a while, Xianglan wiped away her tears and said, "Miss, go downstairs. They're all waiting for you to have your meal!"
"Okay, I'll go down now." Bai Qiongyu put on makeup and regained her previous elegance and grace, but her eyes were still a little red and wet from crying.
Everyone sang Happy Birthday together.
Bai Qiongyu smiled, cut the cake, and distributed it to everyone.
After enjoying a delicious lunch, Xin Wei and Xin An'an said their goodbyes and left for Xin Wei's home.
"Honey, Mommy seemed to cry at noon today. Could it be that she was moved by us?" Li Yushan asked. In her heart, this stepmother-in-law was a very strong woman.
She always smiled in front of others; I never saw her cry.
Only after the mother-in-law was moved was it possible to revise the medical advice. (To be continued.)
