Chapter 21 Chapter 21 It really deserves to be turned into a vegetable~…
Si Yizhi had been used to working alone for so many years. As for his family affairs, even his closest colleagues and friends knew that he had a bad relationship with his family, but they didn't know the details.
Si Yizhi was not used to Shao Jiayan's inner thoughts of "compassion" at every turn. . .
But as a boss, Si Yizhi can control everything, but he cannot control the inner thoughts of his employees.
What's more, Assistant Niu Ma's heart is obviously on his side~
Old Mrs. Si was obviously very angry about Si Yizhi's stubbornness.
She coughed violently twice, and Aunt Wang beside her immediately came over and stroked her back.
Si Yizhi took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Old Madam, since you are not feeling well, you should have a good rest. Grandpa's lawyer will be here soon, so I won't disturb you for now."
When he took Shao Jiayan away, Aunt Wang followed them.
"Young Master." She closed the door and called Si Yizhi softly.
Although Si Yizhi grew up under the care of Old Madam Si in his early years, the old lady was of noble birth and was not someone who would personally take care of her grandson.
Therefore, Aunt Wang could almost be considered as half of Si Yizhi's wet nurse. This somewhat old maid played an indispensable role in his healthy growth. Therefore, compared with other people in the Si family, Si Yizhi was relatively respectful to her.
"Master, don't take the old lady's words too seriously." Aunt Wang sighed sadly, "I have worked with the old lady for decades, and I know her character best. But she was wrong in this matter."
"You didn't educate your son well and only showed favoritism. You asked for custody of your grandson but didn't educate him well. You also caused you and your mother to fall out."
Aunt Wang shook her head helplessly and said, "Although I am just a servant and an outsider in this family. But you are also a child I raised with my own hands. I hope you can live a good life. Master, please don't be soft-hearted anymore. It's not worth compromising for such a family."
Her words were indeed beyond Si Yizhi's expectations, and even Shao Jiayan couldn't help but look up at her a few more times.
"Thank you, I'll remember your words." Si Yizhi nodded to her and forced a relatively gentle smile, "I've made up my mind, don't worry."
After the two came out of the old lady's room, heavy snow started falling outside the window again.
Shao Jiayan rarely saw such snow, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, the snow is so big and beautiful."
Si Yizhi glanced at the time and said, "Come with me to Grandpa's room and sit for a while. The lawyers won't be here until three o'clock."
At this time, even Si Yiran, who had gone out to dinner with her fiancé, had returned.
He did not return alone this time, he also brought back Wen Kefan. However, his mother Bai Weiwei was a little dissatisfied with his behavior of bringing her fiancé home on such an important day.
She called her son aside and lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you bring him back? Did you go to the Wen family? What did their family say?"
In fact, Bai Weiwei didn't have much affection for the fake young master of the Wen family. It was just that her son liked him and had pursued him for many years, so she didn't want to be a parent who spoiled the fun. But later, the story of the real and fake young master of the Wen family was exposed, and the two people who were originally considered a good match suddenly became incompatible. Bai Weiwei still felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Wen Kefan was so naive and a little slow that he could not notice the change in attitude of the elders of the Si family at all.
It can be said that fools have good fortune.
"Kefan is my fiancé. He should be here on such an important day." Si Yiran said confidently, "I'll take Kefan to see Grandpa."
Mr. Si has been in poor health since he suffered a stroke two years ago.
The once powerful head of the Si family can only lie in bed, relying on a bunch of machines to maintain his life.
Looking at the old man lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and looking so thin that he was unrecognizable, Shao Jiayan, who had just been waiting outside the door and had never seen him before, felt a little sorry for him and couldn't help but ask about Mr. Si's condition.
The doctor said, "At the beginning of the year, I heard that he was seriously ill. For the past six months, he has been relying on these machines to maintain his life. He has been lying in bed and unable to get up. He is almost never awake."
After listening to the doctor's brief summary of the condition, Shao Jiayan realized that having money can really prolong life.
According to the doctor, Mr. Si's condition does not require any treatment. He relies on a lot of complicated equipment in his room to keep him alive every day. Not only does it cost a huge amount of medical expenses every day, but for the old man, living one more day without quality of life is also one more day of pain.
But even though the patient was in so much pain, his family still refused to give up and insisted on using expensive drugs and equipment to keep him alive for his last breath.
"It's good that the family is willing to give up treatment. Don't let the old man continue to suffer." The caregiver who has worked in the Si family for more than 20 years couldn't bear it and said softly, "Before, the old man would occasionally wake up, but every time he woke up, his wife and children would talk about the will. After a few times, the old man never woke up again. Alas... Rich people also suffer..."
The nurse's words were a double entendre, and Shao Jiayan understood them.
He glanced at Mr. Si with a little concern. The other party looked very bad, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.
"Haven't you suggested to Mr. Si and the others to give up treatment?" Shao Jiayan couldn't help but ask again.
Mr. Si's attending physician shook his head and said, "I suggested it, but the old lady refused no matter what."
The doctors have tried everything to prolong the old man's life, but he has no desire to live and his physical condition is not good. He can't hold on any longer, so the Si family notified Si Yizhi to come back and see him off.
According to the discussion between Mrs. Si and her son, they will remove the tube from his body and let him pass away after the legal team has read out the old man's will.
As he spoke, Si Yiran knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Seeing him coming, the nurse who had just complained a few words immediately got up and left.
"Brother and Assistant Shao are here too." Si Yiran's face was indifferent, and no emotion could be seen.
However, Young Master Wen behind him looked anxious. He kept looking towards the bed and seemed a little nervous.
Si Yizhi said "hmm" as a greeting.
He sat at his grandfather's right hand and gently held the old man's cold, bony hand.
Although it was not visible on his face, the sadness surrounding him made Shao Jiayan feel very uncomfortable.
I wanted to comfort her, but found that no words were of any help in this situation.
Compared to his sadness, Si Yiran, who had accepted the reality of the old man's physical condition earlier, seemed much calmer.
"Brother, father wants you to go to the study."
"The legal team will be here soon. What else is there to talk about now?" Si Yizhi sat steadily beside the bed, with no intention of getting up.
Si Yiran was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother, I know you are unwilling to give up your inheritance rights when father and grandmother ask you to do so. But they are all old, and they are afraid of seeing grandpa like this."
"If you are willing to give me all of Si's shares, then I don't want any of grandma and dad's personal inheritance. I'll give it all to you, okay?"
Although the Si family's shares are valuable, the combined amount of Si Rong and Old Lady Si's personal inheritance is not much less than half of Mr. Si's.
In terms of value alone, if Si Yizhi was willing to nod, he would probably be able to get more real money than Si Yiran.
But he still refused, "Do you believe their promises? Anyway, I am afraid of being cheated."
Si Yiran's eyes darkened, and there was some reluctance in his tone, "Brother, we are all family, do we really have to tear each other apart?"
"I thought we had fallen out ten years ago."
In the end, Si Yizhi did not go to the study to "talk alone" with Si Rong before the legal team arrived.
Not long after, Mrs. Si also came over with the help of her son.
Following behind them were lawyers in suits and leather shoes. They were obviously Mr. Si's strongest legal team.
However, Shao Jiayan, who knew the plot, knew that one of these seemingly professional and loyal lawyers had already been bribed by Mrs. Si. That was why it was so difficult for Si Yizhi to inherit his grandfather's estate even though there was a will.
[Fuck, here he comes, that bastard is here with his flaws! But there are so many lawyers here, which one is Lawyer Ouyang who was bribed by Old Lady Si? ]
[I remember that in the original novel, it was because he tampered with the notarization of the old man's will that the old lady filed a lawsuit on the grounds that the notarization was flawed, demanding a redivision of her husband's estate. It was because of the efforts of the entire Si family that Mr. Si was unable to successfully join the Si family. Although Mr. Si continued to work hard for the estate, he was sanctioned by that little idiot Wen Kefan before the court's ruling.]
[Ah, Mr. Si is also a big idiot. Wen Kefan was already entangled when he knew that his childhood friend and his fiancé had turned against each other, and he actually dared to sit in Wen Kefan's car. He deserved to be turned into a vegetable~]
Shao Jiayan was complaining in his heart, but when he looked at his boss Si, his eyes were filled with pity involuntarily.
But at this moment, Si Yizhi, who should have been waiting for the lawyer to read the will, turned back.
Thus, Shao Jiayan's compassionate look, which he had not yet retracted, hit Si Yizhi's cold and calm eyes without any preparation.
Shao Jiayan's breathing stagnated.
[Fuck, Mr. Si’s return of this move really caught me off guard...]
[No... Mr. Si, please give me another chance. My expression just now was wrong! ]
It was originally a heavy and sad scene, but Si Yizhi was no longer sad after hearing Shao Jiayan's inner drama.
He turned his head and sat upright, but the next second he turned back.
Then he saw his assistant Niuma looking at him with a dull look, and then he coughed awkwardly.
Si Yizhi reminded him quietly, "Fix your tie."
Shao Jiayan lowered his head and realized that the tail of his silver tie had been exposed from his suit jacket. He hurriedly tidied up his appearance and stood behind Mr. Si, waiting for the lawyers to read the will.
