After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xuewu excitedly told Mei Yun, "Wife, Dad has agreed to let me make a will. When he passes away, all his house and antiques will be ours!"
"Really?" Mei Yun said happily, "I knew it! He's so sexist, how could he bear to leave his fortune to your eldest sister!"
Zhang Xuewu sighed and couldn't help but say with emotion, "Dad really meant well! He did this because he was afraid of causing us trouble in the future!"
Mei Yun nodded repeatedly, "Isn't that how it is in every family these days? The property is left to the son, and the daughter takes care of the parents in their old age! Besides, they have a son-in-law who lives with the family, so it's convenient for them to take care of our dad!"
Zhang Xuewu nodded, "Yes, that sycophantic Lin is perfect for cleaning up after my dad!"
Mei Yun suddenly frowned. "Hey, what if Zhang Ailan goes back on her word? What if she refuses to support our father in his old age after we pay her back?"
Zhang Xuewu was stunned for a moment. "She dares to go back on her word? Then let's sue her for failing to support her parents and take her to court!"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Mei Yun nodded repeatedly. “The law stipulates that no matter who inherits the property, the children have an obligation to support their parents. If she doesn’t support them, that’s illegal! Let’s sue her and get that two million back! Then we’ll find your dad a nursing home; two or three thousand a month will be enough!”
“Okay, honey, I’ll go find Dad right now and get the will!” Zhang Xuewu said.
Mei Yun nodded, "Okay, then you go! I'll stay here and watch over Mei Chao!"
Zhang Xuewu left the hospital in a hurry and arrived at Zhang's company in less than half an hour.
Zhang Chunyuan had already called the lawyer to his office, and the three of them made a will in person, which was then uploaded to the legal system and took effect immediately.
Zhang Xuewu became the sole heir of the Zhang family!
"Thank you, Dad. Don't worry, Mei Yun and I will definitely take good care of you when you get old!" Zhang Xuewu said happily, holding the will.
Zhang Chunyuan snorted, "I'm already grateful you didn't throw me out on the street, let alone offer me tribute?"
"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and transfer the money to me so I can transfer it to your older sister!" Zhang Chunyuan urged, preoccupied with the Ru kiln matter.
"Okay, Dad!"
Zhang Xuewu didn't hesitate and immediately called Mei Yun, asking her to transfer the money to the company first.
Upon receiving the money, Zhang Chunyuan immediately transferred it to his daughter and also sent a WeChat message.
"Ailan, look, has the money arrived yet? Hehe, Dad's been waiting for your Ru kiln brush washer!"
Meanwhile, Zhang Ailan immediately received the message and quickly checked her mobile banking. When she saw that 2 million yuan had been deposited into her account, she screamed with excitement.
He ran over and grabbed Lu Xueqing, saying, "Xueqing! Look, your grandfather got the two million back for you!"
Lu Xueqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was also slightly surprised; she hadn't expected her grandfather to actually help them get the money back from her uncle!
You know, this wash is only worth a few hundred thousand. How could my grandfather, who has always been biased, do a losing deal?
She had a feeling something was off, so she turned to Lin Yu beside her and asked, "Lin Yu, is this brush washer really only worth a few hundred thousand?"
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Honey, antiques are all about personal taste. There's no standard price. Someone who likes them might pay millions, while someone who doesn't might not even be worth a few hundred thousand!"
Hearing him say that, Lu Xueqing nodded. Perhaps her grandfather really liked this brush washer!
Zhang Ailan shook her head. "Daughter! You can't always judge people with old eyes. Your grandfather is just getting old and has learned to reflect. He still cares about us, otherwise why would he have asked us to come back to celebrate his birthday!"
Lu Xueqing nodded repeatedly, "Mom, you're right. Then we must buy more tonics when we go to celebrate Grandpa's birthday this time, so we can show him our filial piety!"
"Good, good, good! My eldest daughter is the best!"
Zhang Ailan said excitedly, "Then I'll call Grandpa right away and put his mind at ease!"
As she spoke, she quickly picked up the phone and sent a voice message.
Zhang Chunyuan received it immediately.
"Dad, I received the money! Don't worry, I'll definitely get you this Ru ware! I'll bring it to you for your birthday celebration! *kiss*"
Zhang Xuewu had been listening the whole time, and now he looked a little dazed.
"Dad, so you're asking me to pay back my older sister so she can buy you antiques?"
Zhang Chunyuan glanced at him. "Yeah! So what? If I don't let her buy it for me, will you buy it for me?"
Zhang Xuewu chuckled awkwardly, "Where would I get the money? We only have two million at home, and I just gave it all to you! But then again, Dad, antiques are things you can't eat or use, so why are you collecting them? Why don't you give me a couple of pieces, and I'll help you sell them? Then I can use the money to start a small business and make some money to support you in your old age!"
"Can you take care of me in my old age?"
Zhang Chunyuan curled his lip in disdain, about to say something... *bang!*
The office door was kicked open suddenly.
A bald man wearing a gold chain led his men in. Upon seeing Zhang Chunyuan, he immediately sneered, "Old Master Zhang, the two million you borrowed from me is already a week overdue. Shouldn't you pay it back by now?"
"Two million?" Zhang Xuewu looked at Zhang Chunyuan in disbelief. "Dad, when did you borrow two million from someone?"
Zhang Chunyuan blushed and said, "Last month, I paid my employees' salaries and didn't have enough cash on hand, so I borrowed two million from an investment company!"
Actually, the reason he invited his daughters back to celebrate his birthday was to raise the two million.
"Mr. Guan, please have a seat!"
Zhang Chunyuan quickly stood up, smiled, and invited the bald man to sit down, even offering him a cigarette.
The man's name was Guan Hao, the owner of Haotian Investment. He had underworld connections and was very influential in the area.
Guan Hao glanced at Zhang Chunyuan and knocked the cigarette out of his hand. "Old man, let's not waste any more words. I'm busy right now. Just pay me back the money and I'll leave immediately!"
Zhang Chunyuan chuckled and said, "President Guan, as you know, my company hasn't been doing too well lately. I can't come up with the two million right now. Could you give me a few more days? My villa is still mortgaged to you, isn't it? I can't just run away!"
"What? Dad, you mortgaged the villa?" Zhang Xuewu looked utterly dumbfounded.
Before Zhang Chunyuan could say anything, Guan Hao sneered, "Old man, your old villa is worth at most five million. According to the contract, you should return ten million to me, including principal and interest! Do you think one villa is enough?"
"What, ten million?" Zhang Chunyuan was dumbfounded and quickly said, "President Guan, I clearly borrowed two million from you, when did it become ten million?"
Guan Hao couldn't help but frown: "Old man, are you an idiot? This is an investment company, not a bank. Do you think I follow bank interest rates? You're seven days overdue now, and with interest compounding, the interest alone is eight million. If you don't pay today, it'll balloon to ten million tomorrow! You'd better figure it out yourself!"
