Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Shao Jiayan only felt as if he had hit...
Mr. Si has been a powerful figure for many years, and his life has been smooth sailing. The only small regret is that his son is useless, so he can only hand over the Si family business to his grandson.
Shao Jiayan looked at the frail old man lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but add a note for him in his heart.
[I think Mr. Si’s regret is not just about his son, right? Marrying such a wife is also a failure. ]
[Did the nurse just now make it clear? His wife is keeping the old man alive in order to change his will. She would rather let him live in pain than die with dignity! ]
[What does it matter if a man is rich? When he is old, his quality of life still depends on his spouse. ]
If the lawyer hadn't already started reciting his lines, Si Yizhi really wanted to turn back again.
It was originally a very serious occasion, but because of Shao Jiayan's inner thoughts, Si Yizhi couldn't help but have wild thoughts and was a little out of state.
Mr. Si left behind a rich legacy.
In addition to the company shares being divided equally between his two grandsons, his real estate and antiques and calligraphy and paintings were left to his wife and son respectively. As for the remaining bank deposits and other items, they were divided equally between his wife, son and two grandsons.
As an outsider, Shao Jiayan thinks this will is actually quite fair.
The business was handed over to the grandson, and the cash was distributed to the wife and children. Although the shares of the Si family were valuable, as a large family with a century-old heritage, the accumulated real estate and antiques and calligraphy and paintings were not a small amount.
But even so, the family of four sitting on the other side of the old man's bed were still dissatisfied.
Shao looked at the sinister expressions on the faces of the four people opposite him, and suddenly he understood why President Si insisted on not giving in.
Mr. Si has no place to retreat.
The original content of the novel was more inclined to the perspective of the protagonist. Among those real details that he had not seen, Shao Jiayan had never thought about the reason why Si Yiran could become the protagonist of this story.
But now that he is in this position, he has to think carefully.
Although the protagonist's parents have their own problems, it has to be admitted that for Si Yiran, Si Rong and Bai Weiwei are a pair of competent parents.
Especially his mother, who was born into a noble family and had a family background that the Si family had to carefully consider. This made Mrs. Si obviously more partial to her grandson.
"The above is the entire content of Mr. Si's will. If you have no questions, please sign and confirm it."
Mr. Si's legal team consists of nine people, and the leader is a trusted lawyer who has been with Mr. Si for more than 30 years. The old man has been bedridden for many years and has been in an unconscious state for a long time. It is because he has been sticking to his post and maintaining the old man's last wish that the scene of reading the will today can be achieved.
[This lawyer Li was also loyal to the Si family, but unfortunately he was cheated by that traitor in their legal team later on, and he didn't have a good ending even when he was about to retire. Well, he is still better than our President Si, after all, in another six months, it will be Mr. Si's turn to sleep on this bed.]
[But it's true, Mr. Si's life support equipment is also very effective for vegetative patients. Logically, Mr. Si should be able to live for a long time on the hospital bed inherited from his grandfather, but I remember that he died not long after becoming a vegetative patient? ]
[Ah, but the sooner I die, the sooner I will be reborn. If I have to become a vegetable at a young age and lie in bed without dignity like Mr. Si, I would rather die early. ]
Si Yizhi could guess without looking back that the gaze coming from behind must be the result of his assistant's wild imagination and then his "pity".
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "No problem on my end."
Lawyer Li handed over the documents that needed to be signed.
Just as Si Yizhi received the message, Old Madam Si spoke.
"Wait, I have objections to the will." The old lady had been very angry with her eldest grandson, so her words were not as domineering and forceful as usual.
However, she remained undeterred and winked at her son beside her.
Si Rong immediately stood up, took his copy of the document and handed it to his mother.
"We dispute the validity and authenticity of the will."
[Here they come. In a few days they will claim that there are problems with the notarization procedures and refuse to recognize the will. Once the old man's will is judged invalid, then the old lady and Mr. Si's scumbag father will be able to divide the old man's estate equally as the first-order heirs. By then, Mr. Si will not get a penny! ]
The more Shao Jiayan thought about it, the more sad he felt for Mr. Si.
Although he knew that Si Yizhi would use a series of means to verify the legitimacy of the will, he would get into Wen Kefan's car before the will came into effect and then be turned into a vegetable~
Si Yizhi, who knew the direction of the subsequent plot in advance, had already made a decision in his mind.
This was also expected by the legal team given the lack of cooperation from the client’s spouse and son.
The leading lawyer, Li, reminded them that Mr. Si's will was the result of years of hard work by the legal team. They were confident that all the procedures were impeccable and that a temporary resistance would not change the outcome.
Faced with the old lady and her friends' firm attitude, Si Yizi was too lazy to continue wasting time here.
"Anyway, I have no objection to the will." Si Yizhi signed and handed the document back to Lawyer Li. "If you need anything later, please contact me. I have something else to do and will not stay any longer."
Seeing him getting up and leaving, Si Rong originally wanted to try to keep him.
However, Si Yizhi's movements were so fast that Shao Jiayan almost had to jog to barely keep up with him.
Shao Jiayan felt like he was fleeing from the Si family's old house.
[Damn, having long legs is amazing! I have to run to keep up! ]
The Si family is a typical northern family. The brothers Si Yizhi and Si Yiran are estimated to be almost 1.9 meters tall.
As we all know, people with long legs have long steps. Shao Jiayan, who was only 175cm tall when he put on shoes, was looking down and wondering how to catch up with his boss in an elegant trot when he accidentally bumped into his boss's back.
"Hiss..." Shao Jiayan only felt as if he had hit a wall.
Si Yizhi stopped and glanced at his phone, "Get a taxi."
Shao Jiayan then remembered that the Si family's driver had been responsible for picking them up since they came to Beijing. Now they were leaving... Shao Jiayan was sad to find that they didn't have a car at all.
[This is not right! This villain is not the boss in the novel at all! ]
"Mr. Si, what about us now..." Shao Jiayan looked at him in horror, and was about to tactfully express that he, dressed in a suit and tie, could not walk from the Si family's old house halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain to take a taxi.
At this moment, his stomach made a strange noise.
The two just stared at each other in silence for three full seconds, then turned their heads away in tacit understanding.
[Woohoo, it's all Si Yiran and Wen Kefan's fault! I was kicked out of the hot pot halfway through lunch, and I had a lot of intense work in the afternoon. It's normal for me to be hungry~]
At this time, Si Yizhi said very considerately, "The Ark game has been closed for the holiday, and Ai Si has returned to Beijing. I called her and asked her to come pick her up. Can the three of us have a meal together later?"
"Okay, no problem for me." Shao Jiayan nodded modestly.
He didn't know when Mr. Si sent the message to Ai Si. When they walked through the huge garden and arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a pink Bentley slowly stopped at the door.
When the two men walked to the front of the car, they discovered that there was a beautiful woman with a curvy figure and a charming manner sitting on the passenger seat.
The beauty of that lady was so stunning that even a congenitally gay person like Shao Jiayan couldn't help but take a second look.
But Si Yizhi's reaction was a bit intriguing.
"Boss Si, Xiao Shao, please get in the car." Miss Ai Si greeted them enthusiastically, "This is my good friend, her name is Rong Ying, and she went to the same high school as us."
As she spoke, she winked at Si Yizhi in the back seat.
Shao Jiayan, who was not in their circle, just felt that he was out of tune with them.
Although he noticed that Mr. Si's face was getting worse and worse, he had no choice but to stay in the car. Shao Jiayan didn't want to be kicked out of the car, so he walked down the mountain.
So he said politely, "Hello, Miss Rong."
However, right after he did this, Mr. Si's expression became visibly uglier.
This made Shao Jiayan even more confused. He was sensitive to what must have happened to these three in high school, but as an outsider, Shao Jiayan seemed to be unable to do anything except keep quiet.
Fortunately, the two ladies in the front row were good at chatting. With them chatting in unison, the whole journey was not too awkward even though the two men in the back row were very silent.
Later, Miss Rong even suggested that they were all career elites who had been working outside for many years and it was rare for them to come to Beijing, so she had to play the role of host and treat them to a meal.
Ai Si was not polite to her either.
"Okay, your family runs a hotel and is the best at eating, drinking and having fun, so you can reserve the seat."
It’s a pity that Si Yizhi insisted that he still had very urgent work to finish and asked to make an appointment next time when there was a chance.
Since the driver was Si Yizhi's secretary, Ai Si had to drop off the two boring men at the entrance of a hotel.
She ordered this immediately after receiving the message from her boss.
"Hotel rooms are fully booked during the Chinese New Year. I couldn't book a room, so I asked Rong Ying for help. After all, her family does this." Ai Si shrugged helplessly, "But there is only one room, and it's a room that someone reserved in the hotel. Can you two make do with it?"
Si Yizhi frowned in dissatisfaction.
But before he could say anything, Rong Ying smiled and said, "Brother Si, if you are not used to sharing a room with others, you can come to my house. I have a house nearby..."
"It's okay. I don't mind squeezing in with others." Si Yizhi swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
