At this moment, Yi Hai suddenly stood up and said aggressively, "Mom, don't forget that we just let Tianran inherit the family business not long ago. If we bring your own grandson back now, do you want him to fight with Yi Tianran for the inheritance?"
“Yes, Mom, to avoid unnecessary disputes, I hope you can consider this carefully. I understand your desire to acknowledge your grandson, but you don’t necessarily have to involve him. If you really care about him, you can give him some money and send him abroad to be raised.” Yi Lao Si also looked very serious.
The three brothers' resistance to Xu Zhe was too obvious. They had only just met, so why were they in such a hurry to drive him away?
Yi Tianran had a feeling that she might have overlooked some important information.
“You…” The old lady’s face suddenly turned very ugly.
All she wanted was for her grandson to stay by her side, but these people insisted on going against her and didn't take her seriously at all.
Seeing the old lady's angry expression, Xu Zhe reached out to help her up. "Grandma, I'm fine. It doesn't matter if I don't acknowledge my ancestors. As long as I can be by your side, I'm already content."
The old lady was touched.
Just then, Yi Tianran spoke calmly and in an unquestionable tone, "Why are you all being so aggressive? The reason I've gathered you all here today is to formally announce that I will let Yi Zhe stay. This isn't a discussion; it's an announcement of the result. I hope you understand."
"Ranran!" Yi Hai looked at her with a disappointed expression. "Aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives and will try to take away your family business?"
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Mr. Yi Hai, please don't address me so intimately. I severed ties with you years ago. The only reason I'm staying in the Yi family now is for my grandmother's sake. As for the family business you mentioned, what's wrong with me giving it all to him if he wants it?"
"Are you crazy!" Yi Hai exclaimed in shock, his voice so shrill it could be used in a theatrical performance.
Xu Zhe also looked at her with a surprised expression, then sneered inwardly.
Is this another of her schemes?
It's ridiculous to think that she could lower his guard and make him believe in her sincerity with such psychological tactics.
Yi Tianran smiled brightly and dazzlingly, "I always keep my word. If anyone doesn't believe me, I can transfer half of my assets and shares to Yi Zhe right now."
After saying that, she winked at her assistant.
The assistant nodded and spread a thick stack of documents on the table.
Everyone, including Yi Qilin, crowded around to take a look.
I was shocked to see that they were all transfer agreements!
Is she really that generous? Willing to hand over half of the profits she's already secured to someone else?
"You've all seen the contract." Yi Tianran then took a pen from her assistant and tossed it to Xu Zhe. "Xu... no, I should call you Yi Zhe now, cousin Yi Zhe. You can take a close look at the contract. If there are no problems, sign your name."
Yi Zhe accepted the contract, looking at her with a complicated expression.
What kind of strategy is this?
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to win people over?
For a moment, he couldn't quite see through her.
"Ah Zhe!" Just then, Yi Qilin couldn't wait any longer and urged, "What are you waiting for? Since your cousin values you so much, she will be hurt if you reject her feelings."
He hadn't expected Yi Tianran to drop such a bombshell right off the bat. But he wasn't too surprised, nor did he think it was a trap.
The reason is simple.
Because he knew Yi Tianran's weakness: she didn't care about anything else, but she especially cared about the old woman. For the sake of so-called family ties and to please the old woman, she was willing to give up her own interests.
Therefore, she was destined to fail.
Upon hearing Yi Qilin's reminder, Yi Zhe gritted his teeth, finally stopped hesitating, and signed his name.
"Now you can't say the old lady is biased! Half for each of us, isn't that fair?" Yi Tianran looked at her with a meaningful smile.
Yi Zhe frowned and turned his head away unhappily.
He seemed to understand her less and less.
Seeing him sign the contract and inherit half of the Yi family's shares and assets, the members of the collateral branches were dumbfounded. Wasn't this like a windfall?
A homeless kid suddenly became rich overnight! They really want to experience that feeling too! It's so enviable.
Compared to the jealousy of those from the collateral branches, the expressions of the three Yi brothers could even be described as fear.
For them, Yi Zhe's appearance was a nightmare!
Yi Tianran took in their reactions and couldn't help but feel a lot of doubt.
There must be other secrets hidden among these three brothers, and she must find out!
...
The meeting has ended.
The three Yi brothers left in a daze, and then tacitly reunited.
In the quiet room, no one spoke first.
Silence spread through the air.
After an unknown amount of time, Yi Hai struggled to lift his head. "Big brother, fourth brother, do you know that Yi Yin has a son outside the marriage?"
The two brothers shook their heads, their expressions grim.
Old Master Yi exclaimed in a panic, "That kid's features and appearance are at least 60% similar to Yi Yin's! He's definitely her child. We didn't know he'd reappeared after all these years. Do you think he... he knows something, and that's why he's come looking for revenge?"
Before he could finish speaking, Boss Yi slammed his fist on the table in anger, his face contorted with rage, and shouted, "Shut up, all of you! That incident happened more than twenty years ago. Even if there was evidence, it would have been destroyed. He's just a brat who hasn't even grown up yet, so he can't possibly suspect us!"
“But he’s only just returned and has already inherited half of the Yi family’s business. If he’s later bribed by Yi Tianran and joins forces with him, who knows what they might find out…” Yi Hai said with a look of fear. “What if his purpose is revenge, and he’s come back this time to take our lives!”
"Impossible!" Boss Yi's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with a chilling ferocity. "I won't give him that chance."
"Big brother, what are you doing? Could it be..." Yi Hai's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he made a throat-slitting gesture.
Boss Yi sneered, "Only the dead shut up."
"But what if he doesn't know anything?" Old Yi said hesitantly, "Should we sound him out first before deciding what to do next..."
Yi the Elder, however, had a gloomy face and a sinister expression. “Fourth Brother, we don’t have much time left. There’s no need to confirm anything. Anyone who poses a threat to us should be eliminated, or we’ll only face death.”
Clearly, he had already made his plans.
"Yeah, fourth brother, what time is it?"
