Seeing that the Hu family was finally willing to sit down and talk properly, Attorney Zhao took out the detailed list of the Hu family's assets that he had compiled.
The most valuable property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hu is their 85% stake in "Xingyun Daily Chemicals," in addition to real estate, stocks, antiques, and cash.
Half of this property needs to be given to Mrs. Hu first.
Mrs. Hu said calmly, "It's fine to divide it all in half."
The second son of the Hu family immediately spoke up, "Sister-in-law, with house prices constantly rising, it would be more convenient for you to have more houses and cash, don't you think?"
Mrs. Hu firmly disagreed, insisting, "Attorney Zhao, I want it split in half."
The Hu family really couldn't do anything about her, as she was so unyielding and would threaten to take them to court at the slightest disagreement.
Attorney Zhao cleared his throat. "After the division of property with his spouse, Mr. Hu's estate details are as follows: 42.5% of Xingyun Daily Chemicals shares, three properties, address:..."
After reading through the lengthy list of the estate, Attorney Zhao paused, "According to the principle of statutory inheritance, Mr. Hu's estate is divided into four parts, to be inherited by his wife, daughter, father, and mother respectively."
The eldest son of the Hu family muttered to himself, "They've already divided it in half, and they still want to divide it in more. They have quite the appetite."
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at him with amusement, "You're quite generous, don't always think about your sister-in-law's things, okay?"
Yan Chengcheng then said, "Xiao Li, tsk tsk, isn't this what you called 'having your cake and eating it too'?"
She raised an eyebrow. "Of course!"
It took the eldest son of the Hu family a long time to understand what they meant by "having both sides".
His face turned ashen and resolute, but he didn't know how to refute it.
With the help of Attorney Zhao, Mr. Hu's estate was quickly divided.
Besides the shares being split equally, Grandpa and Grandma Hu took three houses, all in cash, while leaving the stocks and antiques to Hu Jingxin and her daughter.
After thinking for a while, Hu's mother signed the distribution plan, and Hu Jingxin followed her mother.
At first, Attorney Zhao thought the case would drag on for a long time, or even go to court, because of the fierce fighting between the two groups. But to his surprise, it was resolved in just one day.
He carefully put away the signed documents, saying, "From now on, all we need to do is cooperate with each other to complete the division of the property."
After having lunch outside, they returned home, and Hu Jingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I really thought my grandpa and the others wanted to sue me and my mom."
Zhong Yuan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. "They must have consulted a lawyer and knew that their statement was not reasonable. They were just testing your attitude by asking for an exorbitant amount from the beginning."
Suddenly, Mrs. Hu took her daughter's hand and placed it in Zhong Yuan's hand. "Yuan, I'm so happy to see you always by Xin Xin's side. I hope you two will have a good future together."
Hu Jingxin suddenly remembered what Lu had said about marriage and her ears turned red.
Zhong Yuan said with a silly grin, "Auntie, I will always be good to Xin Xin!"
Mrs. Hu nodded. "Xin Xin, seeing that you have A Yuan and so many friends by your side after your dad and the company got into trouble, I feel much more at ease."
Hu Jingxin looked at Jiang Xiaoli and the others, "Mom, the luckiest thing is that I became your and Dad's child, and the second luckiest thing is that I met so many good friends and Ayuan in Kyoto!"
"Hmm." Mrs. Hu smiled slightly. "Xin Xin has grown up. You'll have to tone down your princess temper. Not everyone will spoil you like they do."
"I know, I know, Mom, your daughter has really grown up!"
"Okay, that's good." Mrs. Hu stood up. "I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest. You two can chat."
Instead of chatting, Jiang Xiaoli and the others helped Hu Jingxin figure out how to manage "Xingyun Daily Chemicals" better.
Hu Jingxin felt something was off, so Yan Chengcheng patted her shoulder and asked, "Xinxin, what are you thinking about?"
She shook her head. "I just feel anxious."
Jiang Xiaoli casually asked, "When did it start? Have you been too tired lately? You should go to the hospital for a check-up."
"Since when..."
Hu Jingxin read a sentence, then suddenly her expression changed drastically, and she stood up and rushed to her mother's bedroom.
The others felt a chill run down their spines when they saw her like this and quickly followed her.
On the desk in Mrs. Hu's bedroom lay a handwritten will, and beside her was an empty bottle of sleeping pills.
Hu Jingxin panicked. She threw herself on the bed and shouted, "Mom! Mom! Don't sleep! Don't leave me!"
Zong Jia stepped forward and shouted, "Da Yuan, pull her away!"
Zhong Yuan quickly obeyed and held Hu Jingxin in his arms to control her.
Zong Jia went up to check on Hu's mother and said, "Little Pear, she's still alive! Call 120!"
Jiang Xiaoli picked up the car keys. "Let's get to the hospital the fastest! Let's go!"
Hu Jingxin then realized, "Yes, yes, yes! To the hospital! To the hospital!"
She put Hu's mother in the back seat and pulled Hu Jingxin to sit in the passenger seat. "Xinxin, can you give me directions? Where is the nearest hospital?"
She drove the car at race car speed, speeding all the way to the nearest hospital's emergency department.
After the doctor saw Mrs. Hu and took her for gastric lavage, the group of people who had taken the taxis finally arrived.
Ren Zhiyi asked anxiously, "Xiao Li, are you alright?"
She fanned herself with her hand, "The medication was taken recently and it was brought in in time, so there should be nothing to worry about, but Auntie's mental state is not good."
Hu Jingxin burst into tears, "I should have realized it sooner. Just now, Mom kept saying that I've grown up and that she hopes I'll be happy in the future. How come I didn't realize that these were the last words she wanted to say to me!"
Chang Yue sighed and took out Hu's mother's suicide note from her pocket. "Xin Xin, this is what your aunt wrote for you."
[Xin Xin: Don't be sad, this is a relief for me. Your dad is gone, and I feel like a walking corpse. My only worry was you, but seeing how smart and capable you are now, with A Yuan and so many good friends by your side, I'm at peace. Xin Xin, Mom loves you, don't blame me.]
"Waaaaahh ...
After reading her mother's suicide note, Hu Jingxin cried even harder.
Zhong Yuan hugged her tightly, his heart aching. "Xin Xin, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie hasn't left. The doctor will heal her soon, don't be afraid—"
"Ah Yuan, I... I've lost my father, but I can't live without my mother..."
"Once Auntie wakes up, let's stay with her and try to persuade her. She'll definitely change her mind!" Zhong Yuan coaxed.
“Yes!” Yan Chengcheng interjected, “Auntie just can’t accept the fact that Uncle is gone. Let’s spend some time with her, and she’ll understand!”
Just then, a doctor came out of the emergency room, shouting, "Bai Xue's family! Who are Bai Xue's family members!"
Hu Jingxin immediately stood up, "Here!"
The doctor pulled his mask down a little. "The patient has had his stomach pumped and is out of danger. The family must pay close attention to the patient's mental state to prevent any further complications!"
"I will! Thank you, doctor!" Hu Jingxin bowed deeply to the doctor.
