34 Will
◎I hope you can live your life freely◎
Lu Lin didn't say anything, but just gently held the girl's wrist.
"What kind of porridge do you want to eat?" He asked cautiously.
Bai Xia just blinked and said, "Chicken porridge, I'll have a plate of corn dumplings too."
Lu Lin pursed his lips slightly to hide the faint upward curve, then stood up and walked out.
When she was the only one left in the ward, Bai Xia found her new cell phone from under her pillow and discovered that it was already night. It seemed that she had indeed lost too much blood and had slept for so long.
The heroine must have changed her card, but it was still the old number with many missed calls. Apparently, there was no such thing as a broken wall. She found a small group of five people and sent a message saying she was still alive.
Then he called Assistant Xu to ask her if the male protagonist had alerted the enemy while he was in a coma, so as not to let Song Qiming escape.
Fortunately, Assistant Xu said that the male protagonist is now much calmer and is cooperating with the police procedures. Song Qiming did want to run away, but was caught by the police in time. Several shareholders involved will also face criminal prosecution.
The male protagonist did calm down, but not completely. There was a bruise on the corner of Song Xun's mouth. It couldn't be that he fell down. It was obvious who hit him.
Lu Jinnian has always wanted her family to live in harmony. Logically, she should inherit the old man's last wish, but she feels that there is no need to force it. Everything should be left to nature. She also doesn't want to be the bond that forcibly pulls several people together. Things that need to be eased will eventually be eased. If it really can't be forced, it's better for each of them to be well.
The next morning, there was a knock on the ward door, and He Yuehua and a few others squeezed in carrying a bunch of things. The table was piled with a lot of supplements such as donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. Qi Mo was holding a bouquet of flowers and also brought a vase for arranging the flowers.
"Does it hurt? You scared me to death. I thought my mom was joking with me, but suddenly your phone was unreachable." He Yuehua stared at the girl's shoulder.
She thought it was Bai Xia's stepmother who did it, but later she found out that Bai Xia had offended her stepfather's relatives. She didn't expect that the childhood joke would become true. Fortunately, Bai Xia escaped death. It seems that active exercise is really useful. At least you can run when you encounter danger.
"Those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. I will definitely become rich in the future." Bai Xia raised his arms.
The girl was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown and didn't look well, but her bright eyes were sparkling. Qi Mo's heart moved. In his memory, she was always positive. He looked down at the flowers in the vase, and a look of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The gap between him and Bai Xia has never been in academic performance. Even if he could barely catch up with her, he might not be able to pass her father's test. He has accomplished nothing now, so how could he possibly catch up with her?
So he must work hard, maybe one day he can really walk side by side with her.
"You are already so rich, how much richer do you want?" He Yuehua peeled a banana and handed it over.
Bai Xia opened his mouth and took a bite, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "Of course, to become the richest man in the world!"
Only in this way can she make more changes to the current social situation, instead of ignoring the exploitation and oppression of the lower-class people by capital. These should not become the norm in society. What she wants is to change these unspoken rules. Goods should have after-sales service, and charitable funds should be spent on the right things. Everyone should have their own legitimate rights and interests, and their already small living space should not be occupied by capital.
"Then, as the world's richest man, can you please have a few more bodyguards in the future? At the very least, wear a bulletproof vest. It doesn't cost much." He Yuehua frowned helplessly.
"It was just an accident." Bai Xia shrugged.
She has been driving her own car all these years, and the car has been modified. Not to mention bullets, it can even withstand car accidents. But she did not expect that the driver would be bribed. The driver had indeed followed Song Yuehua for twenty years, and it was obvious that one should not have a lucky mentality at any time.
She really needs to bring a few bodyguards with her in the future. Although it is not very convenient, nothing is more important than life.
"Weren't you in a hurry to come here before? Why are you silent now? I told Bai Xia that he needed to rest." He Yuehua glanced at Qi Mo.
The latter put the vase away, sprayed some water on it, then looked at Bai Xia and said considerately, "The hospital smells bad. You can smell the fragrance of flowers every day when you open the window. It will definitely make you feel refreshed."
Bai Xia frowned slightly, "...I'm allergic to pollen."
“…”
Qi Mo's expression changed, and he turned to look at Lin Yan on the sofa. "Didn't you say she definitely likes camellias?"
Bai Xia turned her gaze to the silent Lin Yan again. He actually knew that she liked camellias? She seemed to have never mentioned this before.
"I don't know." Lin Yan looked apologetic.
He Yuehua sat there peeling an apple with a slight smile on her lips. Qi Mo was such a fool.
"Forget it, he didn't mean it. I'll move it away right now." Qi Mo immediately went to move the vase in front of the window. He almost made Bai Xia more injured.
No wonder Bai Xia refused the flowers he sent her before. He didn’t even know this detail!
Bai Xia pursed her lips slightly, "I'm kidding, how could I be allergic to pollen? Just leave it there, it looks pretty good."
Hearing this, Qi Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time he also noticed something was wrong. He didn't even know what kind of flowers Bai Xia liked, so why did Lin Yan know?
"Okay, Bai Xia needs to rest, so we'll leave first and come see you again tomorrow." He Yuehua handed the peeled apple to the person on the hospital bed.
Bai Xia smiled and nodded, then watched them leave. She looked back at the flowers in the vase, her eyes showing a bit of weirdness.
After leaving the hospital, Qi Mo had no choice but to get into Lin Yan's car because his family had recently forbidden him to drive. He then looked thoughtful and said, "Her great-grandfather passed away yesterday. She must have been very sad. She must have been forcing a smile just now. Do you think I should come over more often to comfort her?"
Lin Yan stared straight ahead at the street, "She's not as fragile as you think."
Qi Mo turned his head and stared at the driver, then closed his eyes and snorted coldly without saying anything. He had long known that Lin Yan treated Bai Xia differently, otherwise why would she always skip grades with him? Was it because of him? He was too embarrassed to point it out.
Fortunately, Bai Xia treated everyone equally, which comforted him. But he had just searched the flower language of camellia: ideal love, humility?
Could it be that this brat is borrowing his watch to make money?
Humility? Who is he being humble to?!
"I damaged your car before, and I'll give you a new one tomorrow." He said expressionlessly.
Lin Yan glanced at him and asked, "You're not going to pass it?"
“…”
Qi Mo stared at him with a frown on his face. "From now on, we'll divide the land and divide the mats. You go your way, and I go mine!"
Listening to his angry voice, Lin Yan could only continue to stare at the road ahead, "Are you thinking too much? I like her, does that mean she will like me?"
This was just his personal thought, and he never thought that Bai Xia would like him. What's more, liking someone does not necessarily mean being together. Friendship is equally precious. In his previous life, his contact with Bai Xia was always one-sided and scarce, but in this life, he saw something in the other person that he did not have.
Camellia also has another meaning: struggle and victory.
Very similar to her personality.
"Really?" Qi Mo stared at him suspiciously.
He remembered that Bai Xia seemed to have said last time that he didn't like Lin Yan. Thinking of this, he felt balanced. Although his own failure was heartbreaking, his friend's success was even more heartbreaking.
"It's okay. There are plenty of fish in the sea. I'll transfer the money to you for repairing the car later, and you can go and get that car fixed." He hooked his arm around his brother's neck.
Lin Yan pried his hand away, frowning, "If you drive improperly, your loved ones will shed tears."
He finally understood why the other person always had accidents when driving.
Bai Xia stayed in the hospital for a day. In the afternoon, the heroine and Song Xun came to see her again and specially made various soups, as if to replenish all her lost vitality.
Just thinking of Lu Jinnian's death, she always felt depressed, but then she thought that at least the other party was not in pain. She should follow Lu Jinnian's last words and keep a close eye on the male protagonist. Now, she, his daughter, is the only one who can keep an eye on the male protagonist.
The funeral was organized by Lu Lin. The sun was shining brightly on the day of the funeral. Many mourners came to the mourning hall. She and Lu Shuo stood in the front, while Yao Yun in the back was in tears. Lu Qihui seemed to have cried before, and now he only had a sad face.
"You haven't been discharged from the hospital yet. Go over and sit for a while. I'm here." Lu Shuo glanced at the person next to him, who was dressed in black.
Bai Xia shook his head slightly, "My legs are not injured."
For Lu Jinnian, he must have wanted to see their family standing together in the end.
"I am sorry for your loss."
Many of Lu Jinnian’s old friends also came to pay their respects, even though they were already quite old.
Bai Xia also saw Song Yuehua. He seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he was hit hard by recent events. He didn't expect that his brother would do such a thing. He was angry and kept saying sorry to her.
Song Qiming has been arrested. The intentional kidnapping is a serious offense. According to the extent of her injuries, she has suffered serious injuries. He is likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
This is obviously not the first time the other party has done this, otherwise how could he be so familiar with the route and even make arrangements for the driver's son? This is obviously not something he can do in a short period of time. He may have been keeping an eye on Song Yuehua for a long time.
After all, Song Xun doesn't have children, so the company will most likely choose an heir from other relatives' families in the future, and the probability of Song Qi is much higher. However, he didn't expect Song Yuehua to choose a child who is not related by blood to take over the company, so he had to take desperate measures.
Many people have obviously already resorted to all means to accumulate wealth, and no longer care about laws or regulations. But this time, she insists on using the law to punish these lawless criminals.
When the ashes were placed in the cemetery, Lu Qihui suddenly knelt down and burst into tears. Bai Xia believed that he was sincere, because if he wanted to pretend, he would not have made Lu Jinnian so angry over the years. It was just that he did not fulfill his filial piety during his lifetime, so what was the point of regretting it after his death.
Since she had not been discharged yet, she wanted to go back to the hospital to get medicine, but Lu Jinnian’s lawyer said that there was a will to be read and asked them to return to the Lu family villa.
Including all the shareholders of the company, there were quite a few people sitting in the hall, and the atmosphere was quite solemn. Lu Shuo leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his hair. Yao Yun immediately glared at him, signaling him to behave properly at this time.
"We are very grateful to everyone for coming. We are all deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu also specifically requested that his will be read after his burial."
The lawyer looked at everyone solemnly, "This will was made by Mr. Lu while he was conscious, and it was also witnessed by me and two colleagues. It has legal and just legal effect."
The entire hall was silent, and all the shareholders had blank expressions on their faces. What else could they do? Mr. Lu was still so young, and no matter how much the chairman loved his great-granddaughter, he couldn't leave all the shares to her. However, the difference was not much. Mr. Lu loved his daughter so much, so in the future, all of them would belong to her. It was just a matter of time.
As for Mr. Lu's father, there is no need to consider him. He has been concentrating on being a great painter all these years and has never cared about the company's affairs.
The lawyer looked at the will and said solemnly, "I, Lu Jinnian, declare that all the property I dispose of in this will is my legal personal property, and I have full right to dispose of it. My will contains the following: First, all of the thirty-two properties under my name will be inherited by my son, Lu Qihui, and the ownership change registration will be processed after my death."
"Second, all the cars under my name will be inherited by my second grandson Lu Shuo!"
"Third, my bank deposits are limited to all liquid funds, totaling 3 billion. 1.5 billion of this will be passed on to my grandson Lu Shuo, 500 million to my daughter-in-law Yao Yun, and 1 billion to my great-granddaughter Bai Xia."
"Fourth, in addition to Huasheng Group, I own shares in eight companies, which will be inherited by my great-granddaughter Bai Xia."
"The 35% of my shares in the Huasheng Group will be distributed as follows: 8% will be inherited by my second grandson Lu Shuo, 22% will be inherited by my great-granddaughter Bai Xia, and 5% will be inherited by my son Lu Qihui."
"Fifth, all the antiques under my name will be inherited by my great-granddaughter Bai Xia, and the jewelry will be inherited by my second grandson Lu Shuo."
After the lawyer finished reading, Yao Yun closed her eyes and after a while, she picked up the cup and drank some tea.
She didn't expect that the old man would give her another 500 million. She thought that the old man would not leave her a penny, after all, he disliked her as his daughter-in-law so much.
As for the distribution of shares, it was within her expectations. The old man loved his great-granddaughter so much that he did not leave all of them to her. This was already a guarantee for her son, and he would not starve to death even if he relied on the company's dividends every year.
But if Bai Xia hadn't come back, her son would definitely have gotten more.
Forget it, what's there to be picky about? The fact that the old man could make plans for Shuo Shuo has already exceeded her expectations.
Lu Shuo blinked in confusion. He could understand his grandfather leaving him the car, but why did he leave him the jewelry? He was a man and didn't wear jewelry. Could it be a typo?
"Grandpa, maybe you wrote it wrong? The jewelry should be left to Xia Xia. I don't wear them." He looked at Yao Yun quietly.
The latter glanced at him with dismay, "You're not getting married? Buying a set of jewelry is so expensive these days. Your grandfather is leaving money for you to get a wife!"
Hearing this, Lu Shuo frowned in confusion again, "But Grandpa, these are old. How can you give old things to a girl? If you want to buy something, you must buy new ones."
It's obvious that grandpa doesn't understand girls.
Yao Yun clenched her fists and explained softly through gritted teeth, "Do you know what a limited edition antique is? Many styles can't be bought just by having money. Why are you so stupid?"
“…”
Lu Shuo closed his mouth and stopped talking. When he thought about how his grandfather had even considered his wife's plan, his eyes felt full, as if something was about to burst out.
"We are all very sad about Mr. Lu's passing. Now that the will has been read, let's try to complete the formalities." The lawyer closed the document.
The other shareholders were also confused. After all this talk, Mr. Lu got nothing.
"Then when will we convene the shareholders' meeting again? It's up to you to decide." A shareholder looked at Lu Lin cautiously.
The chairman has passed away, and the company definitely needs a new chairman. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be Mr. Lu who will take on the position concurrently. After all, Mr. Lu’s daughter has not yet joined the company, so we still have to take it one step at a time.
"Notify me later." Lu Lin said in a low voice.
It was not appropriate to disturb the others any further, so they immediately stood up and said goodbye. Although there was a change in shares, it was not a big problem. Mr. Lu already had shares, so whether he remained as chairman or not would not affect his decision-making power in the company.
"Mr. Lu, this is a letter left for you by Mr. Lu." Lawyer Wang suddenly handed over a letter.
Lu Lin paused, then took it, but did not open it. Instead, he looked at Bai Xia and said, "Go back to the hospital and rest."
"Yes, your wound hasn't healed yet. The weather is so hot now, you can't let it get inflamed." Lu Shuo immediately agreed.
Bai Xia nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Qihui again, "Grandpa, I plan to move out later."
Smells good from a distance, but stinks up close. Maybe the male protagonist and his father can still maintain their fragile family relationship.
"Why?"
Lu Qihui frowned, "Although your grandfather left the house to me, we are a family. You and Lu Lin live here, and Shuo Shuo and I will move out."
It’s just a house. If he asks his granddaughter to move out, is he still a human being?
He knew his son had feelings for him, and maybe it was better to keep his distance.
"Yes, we are one family and have different opinions. If your great-grandfather were still alive, he would definitely want our family to be reunited." Yao Yun said and wiped away her tears again.
Now most of the company's shares are in the hands of Lu Lin and Bai Xia. Fortunately, they have maintained a good relationship over the years. If they separate, can she still count on her husband when she encounters problems in the future?
"It doesn't matter if we live together or are reunited, as long as our hearts are together, it doesn't matter how far apart we are. Besides, I'm not moving out right away. Let's wait until the will procedures are completed." Bai Xia smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Lu Qihui hesitated to speak. He looked at Lu Lin who remained silent, and finally said nothing more.
Only after his father passed away did he realize how difficult it was to maintain a family.
Bai Xia did not stay either. Now she could not drive, so she had to ask Lu Lin to take her back to the hospital. The other party actually hired several bodyguards for her and seemed extremely vigilant.
But when she got in the car, Lawyer Wang handed her another letter.
"This is what Mr. Lu asked me to give to you." The lawyer nodded slightly.
Bai Xia paused, said thank you and got into the car. It seemed that Lu Jinnian had left a separate letter for each person. He was obviously afraid that if he left suddenly, he would not have finished what he wanted to say.
In fact, she had complicated feelings about the distribution of the will. It was not because she was moved by the other party leaving her so many shares. For Lu Shuo, leaving him too many shares would make it easier for others to take advantage of him, so Lu Jinnian left most of the cash to him.
Even though he always blamed Lu Qihui, he still left shares and real estate to his son. He probably knew that he would not be good at business and that no one would support him in the future. What would he do if his paintings could not be sold?
The carriage was very quiet. Bai Xia slowly opened the letter, and lines of text came into view.
Xia Xia, I'm sad that great-grandfather didn't say these words to you in person. There are always many surprises in this world, and many words are passed away before they are spoken, so don't leave regrets like great-grandfather.
You don't like your father because he hurt your mother. He was indeed wrong in doing so, but everyone has a chance to start over, and he should too.
Great-grandfather is not defending him. After all, the harm he caused to your mother cannot be ignored. He just hopes that you will not leave any regrets for yourself. He also hopes that you can communicate with your father and give him a chance to make amends. Relatives are like the sun in the sky. When you feel it is too hot, it will set in the blink of an eye.
Neither you nor your father likes your grandfather. After great-grandfather passes away, you should separate. Live the way you want and don't compromise yourself. Great-grandfather has lived for so many years and has only summed up one truth: nine out of ten times of life is spent in compromise. Being able to make yourself happy is a reward. My Xia Xia doesn't need to compromise.
Great-grandfather hopes that you can do what you really want to do and live your life freely and brilliantly.
