Chapter 31 He left no will
The screen showed either a tabloid or a screenshot from a public WeChat account.
The title alone is eye-catching—Are the Lu couple all villains? Husband cheats on wife, wife plots to seize his inheritance?
Lu Yanchuan frowned, "...What nonsense is this?"
In addition to the screenshots, there were also messages sent by Xin Yang's friends.
[Holy crap, Yangzi, the recording says Lu Yanchuan didn't leave a will? Could it be that Shen Li really couldn't bear the humiliation and wanted to kill him?]
Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you usually make up stories about me with them?"
Xin Yang: "...Uh, I can explain."
Xin Yang was at his wit's end, so he quickly changed the subject, "The main problem is that the content of that recording is what you said yourself, which is why it's easy for public opinion to misunderstand!"
Xin Yang was worried that it would be inappropriate for Shen Li to hear this, so he took out a Bluetooth earphone and handed it to Lu Yanchuan.
Lu Yanchuan didn't like using other people's Bluetooth earphones, so he turned on the speakerphone and started recording.
It was indeed Lu Yanchuan's voice.
In the emergency observation ward, he saw Shen Li in such a hurry for the first time, and found it amusing, so he wanted to tease her.
Are you afraid I'll die?
'I didn't leave a will. If I die, Shen Li, you'll be the richest widow.'
I never imagined that those words would be recorded and then leaked...
Lu Yanchuan clicked his tongue. "That's it?"
He didn't take it to heart, saying, "These are my exact words to her, there's no misunderstanding from the public. I really don't have a will, and if I die, most of my property will go to her."
He gestured with his chin toward Shen Li, speaking as if it were nothing more than a pile of worthless paper, not a fortune of hundreds of billions.
Shen Li put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. "So it turns out this was all aimed at me."
Even now, when Shen Li hears the recording, he can still recall how casual and unrestrained he was when he said those words.
Xin Yang: "Now you're saying that you deliberately orchestrated this accident in order to inherit Brother Chuan's estate."
To be honest, Shen Li couldn't even get angry at such rumors.
"So I'm that powerful?" Shen Li's voice didn't change much. "Song Xiaowan thought of this for so long to deal with me? It's reasonable for me to sue her for defamation, isn't it?"
Xin Yang's mind was a little slow to catch up. "Huh? How did this involve Song Xiaowan? What does Song Xiaowan have to do with this?"
Shen Li said, "Besides Zhou Yan and me, only Song Xiaowan was present at the hospital at the time. I would never record such a thing to ruin my reputation. Zhou Yan has such a heavy workload, she's not like she's overeating, why would she do something like this? It can't be that Lu Yanchuan hanged himself, can it?"
Shen Li looked at Lu Yanchuan, as if waiting for his answer—Isn't it reasonable for me to sue her for spreading rumors and defamation?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Yanchuan lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, his voice a half-smile. "You're going to sue her, not me. You're not going to wait for me to give my opinion, are you?"
Shen Li understood him less and less.
Perhaps, I never truly understood him.
...
On the way to the airport, news about Qu Xiang bombarded me.
[Holy crap, has Lu Yanchuan gone mad? He's such a big boss, and he didn't even leave a will?!]
If he dies, a rough calculation shows you'd get tens of billions! That's nearly a thousand small goals!
【Lili, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. We can't do anything illegal, you know?】
Thinking about it this way, you actually lost out by divorcing him.
[I haven't even had a single day of happiness after marrying him, and now I can't even wait until he dies to swallow up his inheritance...]
[You might as well marry an old man. At least old men die young. Although you might be living a life of widowhood, you're already living that life anyway.]
It wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting. Shen Li held her phone, momentarily at a loss for words.
In short, this recording can't be let go so easily. I've had my lawyer draft a letter—we're suing!
Lu Yanchuan sat next to Shen Li, listening to her phone vibrate the whole time.
I glanced at it sideways.
Shen Li noticed his gaze and immediately locked the screen, but it was too late.
With excellent eyesight and a reading speed of reading ten lines at a glance, I quickly and clearly saw the content on the screen.
"President Qu is quite capable of arranging things for you," Lu Yanchuan said.
Shen Li thought he only saw Qu Xiang mentioning arranging a lawyer's letter for her, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Yanchuan then asked, "They've already arranged for you to marry an old man?"
Shen Li's eyes widened!
"Pfft—!" Xin Yang, sitting in the passenger seat, almost choked to death on the salt soda.
"Brother, murder..." Xin Yang coughed violently and spoke weakly.
Lu Yanchuan: "Shut up."
Xin Yang raised his hand and gave an 'OK' sign.
Lu Yanchuan continued to say to Shen Li, "I never intended for you to guard this place."
Xin Yang, being very curious, couldn't hold back for a second and immediately asked, "Guard what? Guard what?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Shen Li and Lu Yanchuan have known each other for a long time, from their middle school days until now.
Countless people secretly admire him.
If this man truly wanted to bewitch people, he would be an absolute master; he possesses an irresistible charm that makes people like him.
Shen Li admitted that she wasn't that capable. It would be impossible for her to say that she wasn't affected at all by Lu Yanchuan's change in attitude.
Therefore, you must constantly remind yourself not to fall into this trap again.
The car arrived at Lancheng Airport.
The plane was waiting on the tarmac; it was a Gulfstream business jet that Lu Yanchuan had ordered two years ago.
The body lines are smooth and perfect, making it very beautiful.
The price is also attractive.
Xin Yang looked on with envy, "Wow, it's so beautiful, those lines... that tail wing..."
Lu Yanchuan glanced at him and said, "If you call me 'brother,' you'll get half the experience."
"Brother! Brother Chuan is truly my brother!" Xin Yang beamed with joy, then belatedly realized, "Why is it only half a brother?"
Lu Yanchuan pointed at Shen Li and said, "Oh, the other half belongs to her."
Xin Yang then thought of the fact that Lu Yanchuan had not left a will.
He fawned over Shen Li like a lackey, "Sister-in-law!"
Shen Li glanced at Lu Yanchuan silently.
A hint of a smile flashed across Lu Yanchuan's eyes.
The cabin was spacious and comfortable, and the flight was very smooth. Two hours later, we arrived in Haicheng.
From the airplane window, you can see Haicheng's long coastline and azure waters.
Xin Yang: "The organizer is the Lan family of Haicheng. The Lan family started out in shipbuilding, and even now, the Lan family still controls several of the largest shipyards along the East China Sea coastline."
"So it's understandable that they chose to hold the auction on a cruise ship."
"On a cruise ship?" Shen Li pursed her lips slightly, her expression somewhat stiff.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at it, then asked with a focused gaze, "Seasickness?"
"A little bit."
She didn't know why, even though she didn't get airsick or carsick, she just got seasick.
Xin Yang: "What should we do?"
Shen Li gave a weak smile, "It's okay, I'll just take some motion sickness medicine."
To reassure people, she added, "I used to get motion sickness when playing 3D games, but I just took motion sickness medicine and it was fine."
"Well, you're quite impressive," Lu Yanchuan said cryptically.
"Thank you for the compliment..." Shen Li replied, only then realizing that it probably wasn't a compliment.
Looking at Lu Yanchuan again, he had already turned to give instructions to Xin Yang.
"Ask Lan Chaochi for a schedule of his auction today. Shen Li and I won't go to those unnecessary procedures before the auction starts."
