It's your business to spoil your son, but I won't make the same mistake and let him bring harm to others. Instead of begging me here, you should think carefully about your future path. You are still young and have room to choose. Don't block your own path."

Shao Lin was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned around to warn, "Don't harass Momo and Zhiqiu, or I'll let you know how to write the word regret."

Looking at Shao Lin's resolute and indifferent back, Yuan Jia was like a puddle of mud that had lost its skeleton. She fell to the ground and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Sister, have you seen your brother-in-law? What did he say?"

As soon as he returned to the residence, Yuan Wei hurried forward to greet him.

Yuan Jia shook her head weakly, "He refused to save Yi An."

“What about my company?”

Yuan Jia looked at her younger brother sarcastically, "He didn't even want to save Yi An, so how can he manage your company!"

Yuan Wei slumped down on the sofa, looking flustered. "What should I do? My brother-in-law won't lend us money. We are really finished this time. We have sold all the assets in the family, but it's still not enough to pay off the debt. I'm afraid the life of this family will be in trouble in the future."

As he spoke, Yuan Wei looked up at the duplex apartment building.

"Sister, please sell this apartment. I've calculated that it will be enough to pay off the debts. Our whole family won't have to live in hiding anymore."

This duplex apartment was given by Shao Lin to Yuan Jia and her son. Perhaps he forgot or out of consideration for their old friendship, Shao Lin did not send anyone to take it back.

"no!"

Yuan Jia flatly rejected Yuan Wei's proposal.

It would be good if her son Shao Yian could get out, but since he can't, she has to make plans for his future.

Shao Yian was sentenced to six years in prison for multiple crimes and was 25 years old when he was released.

With this house, even if his son has a criminal record, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife. But if the house is gone, and his son has a criminal record and no skills, which girl would be willing to marry him? Yuan Jia is devoted to her son, and so is Yuan Wei.

Because he couldn't pay back the money, the creditor kidnapped his children and threatened that if he didn't pay back the money within half a month, he would sell him and his children abroad to pay off the debt! Yuan Jia also knew about this situation, but her nephews and nieces were not as important as her own son.

Besides, she felt that she had helped her family enough over the years. She was already at this age and had to plan for herself.

A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge.

At this moment, Yuan Wei did not think about the help Yuan Jia had given him in the past. He only saw that Yuan Jia was unwilling to lend a hand to save his children, and he couldn't help feeling resentful.

—

"Mr. Shao, something happened."

In the morning, Shao Lin was in a regular meeting when his assistant Liang Kuan suddenly came to his ear and whispered, "Yuan Jia is dead."

Shao Lin was stunned and subconsciously wanted to ask how he died. Liang Kuan had already informed him of his thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "The preliminary judgment is that he committed suicide by jumping into the lake. There was a suicide note and shoes left by the lake."

Yuan Jia's death still had some impact on Shao Lin. He hastily ended the meeting, returned to the office, and learned the details of the incident from Liang Kuan.

Two days ago, Yuan Wei went to the Public Security Bureau to report Yuan Jia's disappearance, but the police didn't take it too seriously and just made a simple record.

Early this morning, people doing morning exercises discovered something floating on the surface of East Lake. When they fished it out, they found it was Yuan Jia.

Because the temperature was too low, the body was frozen into an ice stick, and it was difficult to determine the exact time of death. Later, criminal investigation personnel searched around Donghu Lake and found Yuan Jia's coat and shoes.

Interestingly, in his suicide note, Yuan Jia left the only property under his name to his younger brother Yuan Wei, and also entrusted his son to Yuan Wei.

"…That's basically the situation. The police have preliminarily determined it was suicide. The handwriting of the suicide note is being identified and it will probably take one to two days to come out."

Hearing this, Shao Lin frowned, "Didn't you deal with Yuan Jia's apartment?"

Liang Kuan was confused by Shao Lin's question, "You didn't say..."

Noticing Shao Lin's increasingly gloomy expression, Liang Kuan immediately said, "Then I'll deal with it now. Should I transfer it back to your name?"

"Sell it and give the money to Momo. She's been buying a house and a car recently, so she probably doesn't have much money on hand. This house should have been hers."

"good."

Yuan Jia had deceived Shao Lin for twenty years, and Shao Lin almost hated her to death. How could he possibly give away an apartment building worth $100,000 for nothing?

If Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei, brother and sister, had not stepped forward, Shao Lin might have really forgotten about this matter.

With Liang Kuan's intervention, the apartment was quickly resold and the proceeds from the sale were directly transferred to Shao Mo's account.

Shao Lin was a very smart person. When he gave the house as a gift, he asked a lawyer to write an agreement. The terms of the agreement clearly stated that the house was given free of charge to Yuan Jia and her son for living in, and the resident was not allowed to sell, transfer or mortgage it.

In fact, the house has always been under Shao Lin's name. It's not that Yuan Jia is unwilling to sell the house to save her nephew and niece, but that she simply can't sell it.

On the other side, Yuan Wei was busy taking care of the funeral arrangements for his sister.

There are countless cases like Yuan Jia's every year. Since the family members had no objections and there were no other clues for the time being, the public security bureau hastily closed the case as suicide.

As soon as the police closed the case, Yuan Wei immediately took Yuan Jia's body to the crematorium, as if he couldn't wait even a moment.

When he ran back to the apartment happily with Yuan Jia's ashes in his hands, ready to inherit the house worth one hundred thousand dollars, he learned a piece of news that shocked him.

The house has been sold! "Sold? The house is mine, why are you selling my house!?"

"Your house? Where's the property certificate?"

Yuan Wei immediately took out the suicide note written by Yuan Jia and opened it to show the buyer of the apartment.

After reading it, the buyer threw the note back to him with a sneer, and then took out the house purchase and sale contract and the bright red property certificate.

"Look carefully, I bought the house from Mr. Shao for 90,000 yuan. I just signed the contract this morning and completed the transfer procedures this afternoon. Now, the house is mine and the things inside are yours. I'll give you half a day. If you haven't moved out by tomorrow, I'll have the cleaners throw them all out."

The buyer left after making the announcement, but he left someone here to watch over Yuan Wei to prevent him from damaging the house.

All his efforts were in vain. Yuan Wei looked at this retro and luxurious apartment building and felt like crying. His grip loosened and the urn in his hand fell to pieces.

"Sister, sister! I was wrong. Can you please come back, sister..."

Yuan Wei knelt on the ground, holding the ashes and crying loudly, but no one knew why he was crying.
