Chapter 73 All the property is mine
Ming Jiuyou didn't look at her, but instead looked at Bao Shuoyu, a greedy glint in his eyes. "This kid really is a spirit incarnate, he's so tempting! If I eat him, or take over his body, I can advance a realm, hahaha—"
Yu Xiaolu instinctively stepped in front of Bao Shuoyu to protect him. "Old man, don't even think about it. With me here, you won't be able to touch a hair on his head."
Bao Shuoyu shrank behind Yu Xiaoluo, clutching her clothes, looking very scared.
Sigh, he was taking Yu Xiaoluo's pampering for granted.
"Little Luo, don't worry about me, just go ahead, I have spiritual power protecting me."
Yu Xiaolu looked at his pig's trotter speechlessly, then why did you pull my clothes?
She didn't want to waste any more words with him. Her parents' presence here meant they were still alive. She should kill this menace first; only after eliminating him would her parents be safe.
She leaped forward and thrust her sword at Ming Jiuyou. Ming Jiuyou remained calm and dodged with a slight movement. Yu Xiaoluo didn't give him another chance to dodge and thrust her sword again. The sword light flashed in the air like a silver ribbon, and Ming Jiuyou's figure drifted through the air like a ghost.
Seeing that they were locked in a fierce battle with no clear winner, Bao Shuoyu wondered whether he should step in to help Yu Xiaoluo.
However, in that case, he'd lose his disguise, and Yu Xiaoluo might not protect him like a little cub anymore. To be honest, this feeling of being protected is really, really good.
Bao Shuyu didn't realize he would be so shameless, enjoying the feeling of being protected by a woman.
Anyway, he just likes being protected by Yu Xiaoluo.
He looked at the black cat, who, seeing him staring at it, took a few steps back, afraid that he would come after it while the new owner was busy.
Bao Shuoyu had no choice but to beckon it with his finger and stare at it fiercely.
The black cat, succumbing to the tyranny, reluctantly walked towards Bao Shuoyu after a long while, already prepared to be kicked half to death.
Come on, this kick was bound to happen eventually anyway.
It can tolerate anything as long as it's not kicked to death.
Bao Shuoyu squatted down and raised his palm. The black cat closed its eyes. Was this palm meant to kill me?
However, he was still his master after all, and he had not severed ties with him. When the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die.
Accept your fate, new master. Goodbye. May we be master and servant in our next life. In this life, I was unlucky in love, and our relationship is not meant to continue.
However, instead of the expected pain, a powerful force surged into its body, impacting its internal organs and causing it to instinctively transform into a fierce tiger. Its cat body simply could not withstand this force.
It opened its eyes in surprise, "Master, what's this—"
"Hey, you can actually call me master now? I thought you only ever called me an idiot—"
Xiao Hei looked aggrieved: Did I say something wrong again?

Inside the Zhao family villa, Shangguan Peiyu wept bitterly.
Zhao Hengshi's death caused a huge uproar, shaking both the business and metaphysical circles. Some said he was because...
Some say that suicide is only because one cannot accept their wife's infidelity, while others say that it's not worth committing suicide because of his wife's infidelity; he committed suicide because he felt ashamed that he couldn't even compare to a demon.
It was mostly suspicion, because given Zhao Hengshi's volatile personality, it was impossible for him to commit suicide. It was very likely that he was murdered, and the murderer was naturally a beneficiary.
Some people even directly criticized Shangguan Peiyu online, asking why Zhao Hengshi died on the same day that he was exposed for being cuckolded. Wasn't it because of a conflict, and the third head of the Xuanxue family, who was more capable and stronger than Zhao Hengshi, killed her husband in a fit of anger? Since the matter had been exposed anyway, she simply struck first.
Shangguan Peiyu didn't care about these comments at all. She let her subordinates spend money to smooth over the bad news, and if they did, she let it be.
Knowing that he was now at a level where he couldn't afford to offend anyone except Yu Xiaoluo, he didn't care at all.
However, she's currently in the eye of the storm, so she has to put on a show.
"Old Zhao, why are you so foolish? You can't just leave me like this. How am I supposed to live?"
She was dressed in plain clothes, sobbing softly, tears streaming down her face, her heart breaking, a truly heart-wrenching sight.
A feeling of compassion arises.
Zhao's parents arrived, followed by a bright-eyed young woman with red hair, who was Zhao Hengshi's daughter from his previous marriage, and several relatives who came to offer condolences.
When Zhao's parents saw their son, who was smashed to pieces, they almost fainted.
"How could my son commit suicide? He couldn't possibly have done it! It must be you, you poisonous woman, who killed him! You're the one who ruined my son!"
Zhao's mother pointed at Shangguan Peiyu and scolded her.
She had never liked this daughter-in-law, and they hadn't had a child in five years of marriage. Moreover, Zhao Shiheng was a second-time bride because he had an affair...
Guan Peiyu divorced his ex-wife, who had a daughter, but he never cared about her, citing being busy as an excuse. The daughter was left to her grandparents. Now that she's an adult, she's never home and is always out fooling around.
"Mom, how could you say that to me? Falsely accusing someone is a legal offense."
"What's wrong? Are you going to sue me?" Zhao's mother was no pushover either. She already had a lot of complaints about her because she didn't have children, and now that her son had gotten into this mess, how could she possibly be in a good mood?
“Mom, we are all reasonable people, how can we talk nonsense? I am also very sad that Lao Zhao is gone, you should also consider my feelings.”
In front of so many people, Shangguan Peiyu had no choice but to put on an act.
"Now that my son has passed away, there is no place for you here. As for the company matters, I will send someone to handle them myself." Zhao's mother directly gave them the order to leave.
Shangguan Peiyu remained calm and composed. She turned and went back to her room, took out a piece of paper from a drawer, and returned to the living room with a smile. "Mom, I'm sorry, Old Zhao left a will before he died. He left the company and his assets to me, so his house and company have nothing to do with you. This will has already been notarized. As for the inheritance issue, I've already had a lawyer handle it, so you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, the two elderly people nearly fainted. The young woman rushed over and slapped them, but was stopped by Shangguan Peiyu's bodyguard.
"You despicable woman, you drove my mother to such a miserable state, she's been sick all this time. Now that my father is dead, you're trying to take all the inheritance, you're murdering her for money, my father couldn't have committed suicide!"
Zhao's relatives also criticized Shangguan Peiyu, so Shangguan Peiyu simply stopped pretending.
She said coldly, "Old Zhao is dead, and his will clearly states that his property belongs to me. Therefore, everything Zhao Hengshi owns has nothing to do with you. If you disagree, go ahead and sue me in court; I'll fight you. Out of humanitarian spirit, I can give you two elders and Old Zhao's daughter one million each as a subsidy. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at my house again will not only receive no subsidy, but will also be kicked out!"
