Everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on Xiao Siyun.
At this time, Xiao Siyun was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed lazily.
She casually placed her index finger near her temple, supporting her bored little head and watching the show.
When she realized that the food had landed on her head, she slowly curled up the corners of her mouth.
She looked slowly left and right, then sat up straight and looked at Chen Tong and her daughter.
She smiled helplessly, frowned slightly, and sounded quite embarrassed.
"Ah...you didn't even discuss this with me, stepmother."
Phew!
The onlookers were really happy.
Only Xiao Siyun could call her "stepmother".
Chen Tong was so shocked by the name of "stepmother" that her face turned blue with anger and she shouted in a low voice.
"W-What are you yelling about?"
It is true that she is Xiao Siyun's stepmother on the surface, but Xiao Siyun has never called her that.
Now calling her stepmother in public is clearly meant to disgust her!
Seeing Xiao Siyun's calm and nonchalant look, Xiao Yun also lost her composure.
She stood up and said: "Sister, although I haven't discussed this matter with you formally."
"But haven't you been saying these days that you want the inheritance?"
"Just wait until after my birthday, and then I can put the inheritance on the agenda and not have to worry about it all the time."
Xiao Yun tried to shift the blame and responsibility of being eager to get the inheritance onto Xiao Siyun.
But Xiao Siyun blinked innocently, just to tease her on purpose.
"Who is spreading rumors? Did you hear it from me? You've been out recording a show these past few days."
Xiao Yun paused, uh...
She was impatient and looked at Chen Tong with a little anger, as if questioning:
Didn’t you say that Xiao Siyun wanted the inheritance and asked me to ask for it before my birthday. Is that a good omen?
Chen Tong also held his breath. Why did Xiao Siyun turn against him again?
Xiao Siyun shrugged, "I don't lack money to spend, so I can just leave the inheritance there. It won't cost me anything."
"But actually, it's not impossible to take it now, but you have to wait for me to think it over."
Chen Tong felt that she was just playing tricks on him.
"What's there to think about? It's just a matter of words. If you don't take it now, you will take it sooner or later."
"But I think it's safer with Lawyer Li. You know I'm a spendthrift."
Xiao Siyun teased people slowly and leisurely, and his arrogant attitude was very similar to Chen Xun, which made Chen Tong even more angry.
"So you're not going to come to a conclusion today. How long will you consider this?"
But before Xiao Siyun could pretend to finish thinking, Lawyer Li's next sentence broke Chen Tong's rhythm.
"Ms. Chen Tong, please give me a reminder based on the details of the will. Please respond within half an hour."
"If there is no unified response within half an hour, it will be considered as a re-run of the statutory inheritance process; if there is a consensus, the inheritance process will be followed; if there is a disagreement, it will also be considered as a statutory inheritance process."
!!!
"What?" Chen Tong and her mother were shocked. "Lawyer Li, you haven't mentioned this before!"
"This is a hidden condition attached to the trigger clause. It is clearly stated in the notes in the body of the will. It is not something I made up."
At the same time, Lawyer Li also revealed that there are more minor restrictive conditions in the main text of the will.
Only when the conditions are triggered will he follow the instructions, remind and handle it immediately.
"So, please, the two heirs, think carefully."
Chen Tong and Xiao Yun were shocked and at a loss.
Why is this old man's will full of twists and turns, and full of traps?
The mother and daughter really started to panic. Today's incident was indeed careless.
Xiao Yun kept pulling at Chen Tong's clothes, asking her to think of a solution quickly.
Chen Tong felt that everyone was laughing at her and her face became very anxious.
She had originally wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yun's birthday to get the inheritance and show off in public.
The result was a joke...
Chen Tong quickly decided to take a step back and wanted Xiao Qilin to play the bad guy with her.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I made a fool of myself by what happened tonight."
"Qi Lin, how about you send everyone away first, and then we can take care of our own affairs?"
The guests wouldn't agree to that. They hadn't even had enough of the show yet, and now they wanted to kick people out?
Xiao Qilin refused, saying that the show had not yet finished, so how could there be no audience?
He put on a fair and stern face.
"They are all your guests. You should make the arrangements. I won't interfere."
"Besides, although this is a family matter, you also said that you would ask the guests to be witnesses."
"It's not a good idea to let the witness leave before this matter is resolved, right?"
Lawyer Li also seconded the proposal and asked the guests to stay as witnesses, and once again urged Xiao Siyun to make a decision.
"I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it."
Xiao Siyun agreed verbally, but it was just a big move to delay time.
Sometimes she said she wanted to drink an ice drink to refresh herself, and sometimes she said she wanted to eat some dessert to replenish her energy, otherwise her brain wouldn't be able to work properly.
Time was ticking away, and Chen Tong was getting anxious as he saw that the situation was out of control.
Xiao Yun even turned directly to Chen Yan for help, "Aunt, what should I do?"
"She might wait until the last second to say she doesn't agree, and then it would be legal inheritance."
She couldn't imagine it.
Originally, the inheritance was divided equally between her and Xiao Si.
Once the legal inheritance is carried out, it will be divided among the whole family.
Xiao Siyun has a father and a brother, a total of four people, but she and her mother are only two people, which makes her even more disadvantaged!
