Huo Jing looked at the couple in front of him with satisfaction. Ever since he learned of Qin Suisui's existence, he had begun to investigate her.
Diligent and hardworking! A resolute character, so much like his son, Xiao Yuan!
Since being diagnosed with a terminal illness two years ago, his condition has been fluctuating.
He felt unusually relaxed today, and he had a premonition that his days were numbered, possibly ending today.
Looking at his children and grandchildren, he leaned against the hospital bed with a smile on his face.
By the time Huo Zhongyuan realized something was wrong, Huo Jing had already left with a smile.
"grandfather!"
"dad!"
After howling for a while, Su Chun raised her head and looked at Huo Zhongyuan, who was kneeling in front of the hospital bed.
"Xiao Yuan, your grandfather has passed away, so you don't need to worry about the rest. You've worked hard these past few days, so take your girlfriend home!"
"Mrs. Su!"
Jiang Yuan, who was kneeling on the hospital bed, cried out upon hearing this.
"The funeral arrangements for the eldest master haven't been made yet, where do you expect Mr. Huo to go?"
"Uncle Jiang!"
Su Chun looked at the ungrateful Jiang Yuan with impatience, cursing inwardly: Sooner or later, I'll kick this old bastard out of the Huo family.
"Stop talking!"
At this moment, Huo Jiakai was heartbroken. He looked at Su Chun and said each word clearly.
"Everyone who's supposed to be at my father's funeral must be there. Don't cause any trouble!"
Su Chun was about to speak when she saw Huo Jiakai's unusually firm expression with red eyes. She swallowed hard and ultimately didn't continue.
Huo Zhongyuan gave Su Chun a cold look, then turned to look at Jiang Yuan.
"Mr. Jiang, please inform your relatives and friends of the news of your grandfather's passing..."
The Huo family is considered one of the top companies in Beicheng. Huo Jing's death caused quite a stir in Beicheng's business community.
Some were happy while others were sad. The next day, almost half of the business community in Beicheng came to attend Mr. Huo's funeral.
Qin Suisui returned to Huating midway and rushed back this morning, standing beside Huo Zhongyuan as the eldest grandson's wife of the Huo family.
Huo Zhongyuan has always lived in Huating and has always kept a low profile in Beicheng. In addition, Huo Jing has deliberately protected him, and no photos of him have ever appeared in the media. Even the Huo family board of directors is not very clear about his identity outside. They only know that the eldest grandson of the Huo family is doing business outside, but they don't know anything about what he does.
The business community in Beicheng also knew Huo Zhongyuan, but when they saw Huo Zhongyuan standing in the front row, although they felt familiar with him, they dared not put the Huo Zhongyuan of Huating together with the eldest grandson of Huo Zhongyuan in front of them.
However, he was called out by Zhang Jiubao of Wensheng High-tech shortly afterward.
"President Huo, Lawyer Qin!"
Zhang Jiubao's voice was loud, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Huo Zhongyuan, who had always been low-key and reserved in Huating, was actually a member of the Huo family in Beicheng!
"Mr. Zhang! Please come in!"
Huo Zhongyuan nodded slightly, and Qin Suisui, who was standing to the side, also thanked him.
The other members of the Huo family standing nearby looked at the two of them with suspicion.
Wensheng High-Tech in Zhangjiubao has been quite active in Beicheng in recent years, maintaining connections with several universities in Beicheng. Two years ago, it even signed a cooperation agreement with Wenguang College of Beicheng University.
Su Chun was even more wary. She had met Zhang Jiubao's wife several times. The Zhang family had always been high-profile and arrogant, and Zhang Jiubao had always been polite and distant to outsiders.
When she saw that Zhang Jiubao actually knew Huo Zhongyuan and even greeted him warmly, she couldn't help but become wary.
She turned to her eldest son and whispered, "Zhongmou, go to Aunt Gao in Wensheng and ask her about your adopted brother."
"Um!"
Huo Zhongmou responded sullenly.
He was only two years younger than Huo Zhongyuan. When he was a child, he was the only boy in his family, and everyone's focus was on him, including his grandfather.
But ever since Huo Zhongyuan came back, the atmosphere at home has changed, and so has Grandpa.
He saw more and more disappointment in his grandfather's eyes.
As everyone grew disappointed, his temper became increasingly volatile, and his academic performance fell several levels below Huo Zhongyuan's.
After graduating from high school, his family paid for him to attend a community college abroad. He managed to graduate from college, but couldn't stand it there any longer, so he came back.
Therefore, he harbored deep fear and malice towards Huo Zhongyuan.
He glared at Huo Zhongyuan with a sinister look, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Qin Suisui.
Qin Suisui's professional habits made her notice the malice in the other person's eyes immediately. She glanced at the departing figure without showing any emotion and whispered to Huo Zhongyuan.
"Senior Brother Huo, this person from the Huo family doesn't seem to have much goodwill towards you."
This applies to her as well.
People generally think that vicious and ruthless people are scary, but sometimes it is those who live in luxury and act without any scruples who are more terrifying.
Because most people are wary of vicious people, but have no reason to be wary of those who live a life of luxury.
Qin Suisui had reviewed countless cases, and many people had gotten into trouble without any warning.
The Huo family man's eyes bore too many similarities to those in the photos and documents she was looking through.
She offered a cautious reminder.
"Yes, I'll have someone keep an eye on him!"
For the past two days, Huo Zhongyuan has been preoccupied with preparing for the old man's funeral, and has been ignoring the hostility shown by the Huo family mother and sons.
After seeing off all the guests in the afternoon, they still needed to go to the old house to wait for the Huo family's lawyer to arrive and hear the lawyer announce the distribution of the estate by the elderly.
Thinking about the farce that night, a smile crept onto his lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
As expected, Huo Jing's funeral ended.
When the Huo family returned to their old house and heard their lawyer announce the will, they were absolutely furious.
Su Chun directly accused Attorney Yan of fabricating evidence.
“I don’t believe this will is real, and I request a forensic examination.”
She was so angry that she screamed, pointing her finger at Qin Suisui.
"Let's not talk about the shares for now. I'm the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. The old man didn't say what he would leave me, but he actually left most of my mother-in-law's dowry to this unknown thing!"
"Is that possible? The old man only saw her before he died. He didn't have any time to see her at all. How could he possibly leave her an inheritance? This is far too much of a fabrication!"
It's true!
Jiang Yuan, who had been sitting silently in the living room, spoke up.
"When the old man learned about Miss Qin, he notified the lawyer to supplement this will. I was also present at the time."
After attending a funeral, Jiang Yuan appeared tired and spoke in a flat tone.
"I can testify to this will; it is genuine and was made when the old man was of sound mind!"
"Jiang Yuan, are you getting senile?!"
Huo Zhongmou couldn't help but roar in anger, never expecting that this old man would betray him at this time.
"Young Master!"
Jiang Yuan's expression was a half-smile. No wonder the Great Master was worried about leaving the Huo family's business to these few in his own family. Look at the reactions on both sides, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent!
