The lawyer looked at Yin Yali in front of him, thoughtfully took the book from her, glanced at it, and said:
"Madam, this will of yours is fake."
He spoke at a leisurely pace, his face expressionless, as if he were already used to such things.
How could that be?
Although Yin Yali already knew the authenticity of the will, it was ultimately a play she had directed and acted in herself, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue. As long as she refused to admit it, what could they do to her?
"Look, the format of this will is problematic, and the division of property cannot be so simple. I guess you have a draft that's already been rejected."
The lawyer held up the paper in front of the woman and explained it to her in detail. With the guidance of a professional, even if Yin Yali wanted to renege on her promise, she couldn't do anything about it.
"That doesn't make sense. If it were a rejected draft, why would my husband stamp it with an official seal? What you're saying doesn't make any sense."
With the prize about to slip away, she disregarded the inappropriateness of the occasion and angrily questioned him. Seeing the lawyer remain silent, her gaze drifted to Bai Qin. Seeing his smug expression, she deduced that the two were in cahoots.
But now is not the time to turn against them. After all, this lawyer has been with the Bai family since they first started dealing with the law. Over the years, he has accumulated some influence.
"Are you sure this official seal is Mr. Bai's genuine official seal?"
The lawyer's question left Yin Yali completely bewildered. What did he mean? Could it be that the official seal was fake? But she had clearly taken it out of the safe and stamped it herself!
“Aunt Li, you should take a break from now on. I happen to have a will here. The lawyer is here and we’ve been talking about this, so why don’t we join in the fun?”
After Bai Qin finished speaking, he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, which looked like a draft paper. Yin Yali rolled her eyes and scoffed:
Even if he fabricated it, at least it should look plausible! Bai Qin must have lost his mind, bringing such a low-quality thing; he's just trying to fool people.
The lawyer took the will and unfolded it to examine it. It bore Bai Xiuye's handwritten signature and fingerprint. Finally, the lawyer specifically emphasized why an official seal was not used.
After the truth came out, Bai Qin won decisively. Taking the opportunity, he locked eyes with Jiang Yu, his smugness impossible to hide.
Yin Yali slumped onto the sofa, looking at her meager possessions, and then, between laughter and tears, she began to cry.
She was jumping and skipping around the living room as if she were drunk, recounting the hardships she had endured over the years.
"Bai Xiuye, you old fox, you're always on guard against me. Back then, to make you happy, I even gave up my own child and had an abortion. And this is how it ended up, I'm so unwilling to accept it!"
The people in the room watched her throw a tantrum in silence. She was indeed pitiful, but not deserving of sympathy. If the real will hadn't been discovered, and without Master Murong's assistance, she would likely have used all of the Bai family's wealth to support her lover.
Just as everyone in the courtyard watched helplessly as Yin Yali ran frantically into the street, Commander Murong received orders from above to withdraw his troops.
The soldiers guarding the courtyard left in an orderly fashion, following Commander Murong. Before leaving, they heard good news about Bai Xiuye:
At the hospital, Commander Bai is showing signs of waking up!
Bai Qin hurriedly shoved the property list compiled by the lawyer into the other person's arms, then excitedly ran to Jiang Yu, calming himself down a bit:
"Sis, Dad's awake. Would you like to come to the hospital with me to see him?"
"No need. Now that everything here is settled, we'll head back first. We'll invite you to Wanwan's wedding in a couple of days."
Although Jiang Yu had helped him so much, he still felt uneasy at the thought of meeting Bai Xiuye, who had always been against him and even tried to get the man to divorce him.
Her intervention in Bai Qin's case was simply to prevent her only brother from being kicked out of the house by Yin Yali. It was that simple.
Bai Qin knew what she was thinking and didn't press her too much. There was plenty of time; a little more wouldn't make a difference. Once she explained everything that had happened to her father, Bai Xiuye would understand.
He was convinced that he could persuade her with familial affection, and Jiang Yu would agree.
Besides helping Bai Qin, the main purpose of Jiang Yu's trip to the provincial capital was to attend Mr. Gong Sheng's class. It was already late when she returned to the hotel. Jiang Yu took a few small cakes from the food court, asked the waiter to pack them up, and planned to eat them in her room at her leisure.
Shen Ying did not return to the army, but instead chose to accompany Jiang Yu to class and then go home together.
In the spacious room, the creamy aroma from her mouth, stuffed with dessert, began to tantalize her stomach acid. Jiang Yu recalled that she hadn't eaten her fill at the Bai family's house because she was busy watching Yin Yali's outburst. It was normal to feel a little hungry now.
She was about to go out and have dinner delivered when the man beat her to it:
"I'll go, you stay here and rest."
Jiang Yu didn't think much of it and readily agreed. A moment later, there was a knock at the door. She opened it expectantly and saw a waiter pushing a small cart slowly in, followed by Shen Ying. On the cart were steaks and red wine.
"Huh?"
To her surprise, the waiter had already quickly set out the candlelight dinner and tactfully closed the door before leaving.
"I heard from others that when two people are together, eating steak and foie gras and drinking red wine can make their relationship develop faster."
Jiang Yu, since Bai Ling's mix-up was resolved, although our relationship has improved somewhat, it still feels like something's missing. I hope tonight, in a slightly tipsy state, we can erase all our worries.
From this day forward, let's begin our happy life together.
The man's sincere expression made him seem especially moved in the room lit only by candlelight. His handsome face, in particular, emboldened Jiang Yu.
'Bang'
When they kissed, the man didn't react at first. After a moment of stunned silence, his cheeks flushed red, feeling a burning sensation. Jiang Yu, unconcerned, sat down at the table, picked up a knife and fork, and her practiced movements left Shen Ying speechless for a long time.
He sat opposite the woman, and his gaze towards Jiang Yu only strengthened his suspicions.
It was Shen Ying's first time eating Western food, and he wasn't quite used to using a knife and fork. He imitated Jiang Yu's movements, slowly cutting the food. When the woman saw this, she patiently explained it to him.
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Yu lay on the man's lap, half-asleep. Taking this opportunity, Shen Ying decided to confirm a question that had long puzzled him.
"Jiang Yu, you're not really Jiang Yu, are you?"
