“These days passed for a long time, so long that I went to high school without knowing it.
Although there were occasional scoldings and insults from classmates, the situation in high school was much better than when things were first revealed. After all, as time goes by, the heat of many things naturally subsides.
It was also at this time, in the summer of 2015, that because of the lawsuit that caused a sensation in the real estate industry, at the begging of Mr. Yang and Mrs. Xu, my father invested money to save Wanxiang Real Estate, leaving Mr. Yang with the last bit of dignity.
With the handle in their father's hands, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Xu can no longer have any objections to what their father has done. After all, he is the largest creditor in name of Vientiane Real Estate. If Dad is willing, Vientiane Real Estate must repay it at any time. Give dad 150 billion.
After this incident, my father wanted to move in with me and my mother directly. However, because of the impact of the previous incident on our lives, my mother did not agree with my father's move. She also advised my father to stay at home. After all, he still had The other three children are innocent.
Although my mother was very resolute at first, my father would run home every once in a while. At first, he wanted to see me, but later he simply drank too much and lay down on the sofa at home and never left. , came and went, and stayed at home for the night.
But even if my father is already at home, my mother has stipulated that he can only go home one day a week in the future. No matter where he goes at other times, he cannot come to live with us at home, otherwise she will take me back to Fuzhou.
Mom is a person who keeps her word and will do whatever she decides immediately. Dad understands her, so he can only agree to her request.
But it may also be to express his feelings. Except for the day he stays at our house every week, dad either goes to get together with friends or does not go home because of work, and does not want to be with Mrs. Xu and them. three children getting along.
I know that although Mrs. Xu no longer dares to express any opinions on what her father has done because of the lawsuit, she still hates my mother and me in her heart. After all, without our presence, even if my father doesn't like her that much She and their family will live in harmony.
Under the influence of Mrs. Xu, her three children, that is, my brothers and sisters, also hated my mother and me, and described my mother as a seductive vixen. I was born to my father and a vixen. bastard.
But hate is hate, and they don't dare to show it openly. After all, once Wanxiang Real Estate collapses, they will have no backer to rely on, and they will no longer be able to show off their power in front of my mother and me. "
"This looks very good. Your parents got married and lived happily together because of their love." Qin Shoumo said vaguely while eating the food in his mouth: "No wonder your father emphasized to me that we must keep that family together." The flower shop called Xiyu is left to you. It turns out that it was the experience he and your mother struggled with together.
But then again, since your father likes you and your mother so much, why did he only leave the flower shop in his inheritance and not mention any huge inheritance or shares in the group? "
"Because this is what my mother asked for." Xu Xi said quietly.
"The Xu family made its fortune through maritime transportation. Each generation of Xu family heads will have the experience of personally leading a fleet to sea countless times before taking over the family.
However, due to various reasons such as the sea environment, various harsh environments, and sometimes inadequate nutrition, these people who stay at sea all year round will suffer from some big and small diseases in their bodies, and they can live to be sixty years old. The above are all considered to have lived a long life.
Therefore, as the heir of the Xu family, my father is no exception. As he gets older, a series of hidden diseases caused by going to sea in the early years almost all broke out together in just one year, resulting in my father's death. His physical condition began to deteriorate.
That was one time when my father suddenly fainted during a meeting. People from the company rushed him to the hospital. The doctors tried their best to bring him back from the dead. This incident made my father realize that his body would collapse at any time. So he began to think about making a will in advance to leave a way out for his children.
After my father came out of the hospital, he found my mother and told her that he wanted to transfer half of his shares in Asia Cruises to my mother and I, making my mother and I the second largest shareholders of Asia Cruises.
And if he dies in an accident, the shares in his hands will be circulated to the market and sold to those shareholders. In this way, my mother and I will naturally become the largest shareholders of Asia Marine and have full control over the group. actual control.
As for Mrs. Xu and her three children, they already owned some shares of Asia Shipping a few years ago. Although it is not much, the annual shareholder dividends are enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. When the time comes, their father will also keep part of the savings. Give it to them, this can be regarded as settling them down.
After my father proposed this idea, my mother firmly disagreed with my father doing this.
She told her father that the reason why she was willing to bring me and him to Qingdao was, firstly, because she didn’t want me to grow up without my father’s company, and secondly, she would miss the life of our family of three in Fuzhou. Although my father can't stay with us every day in Qingdao these years, my mother can understand his situation and difficulties. But occasionally, the day when my father comes home to spend time with us is also a happy time for my mother.
My mother said that Asia Marine Group is the result of the hard work of several generations of the Xu family, and it belongs only to the Xu family. Even if my father loves us no matter how much he loves us, he cannot hand over Asia Marine Group to us. After all, my children will definitely not do it in the future. The surname is Xu. This is an industry left by our ancestors and cannot be defeated by us.
Although my father doesn't like Mrs. Xu and her three children very much, at least Mrs. Xu is a lady of the family. Even though Wanxiang Real Estate is now in decline, the upbringing and temperament of a wealthy family are still there, and Mrs. Xu's three children are also He has received the education of the upper class very well, and has good speech and behavior. As the young master and the young lady of the Asian Shipping Group, he is also able to move around the gatherings of various business celebrities with ease.
As for me, my family didn’t make any money when I was born. We were just struggling to make ends meet, so there was no education to speak of.
Later, when I grew up, although Xiyu's business was doing well, no matter how big a chain flower shop was, it couldn't be much bigger. Moreover, I was already in elementary school at that time, so I couldn't get that kind of aristocratic education. It's already too late, and coupled with my inability to let go, I'm not suitable to be the daughter of a large group that is resolute and decisive in killing people.
Mother and father suggested that Mrs. Xu’s son, the nominal eldest son of the Xu family, be the heir to Yazhou. From the perspective of family status and origin, he was the best choice, and then allocate the remaining shares to him. His other two daughters handed over the management of Asia Shipping Group to them.
As for me, my mother just hopes that my father can transfer the ownership of Xiyu to my name.
After all, Xiyu was developed step by step by my father and mother in that remote coastal town, and they shed countless sweats.
Although Xiyu is only a small flower shop with an annual revenue of about one million compared to the trillion-dollar scale of Yachuan, this flower shop is enough for me to live peacefully for the rest of my life without worrying about food and drink.
After my mother's repeated requests, my father finally agreed to my mother's suggestion and planned to hand over the shares of Yachuan to my brothers and sisters, leaving Xiyu to me.
However, my father also said firmly that since the group was left to Mrs. Xu, the assets in his name would be 70/70 and the extra share would be left to me. Otherwise, Mrs. Xu and her children would get too much. I'm not being fair either.
My mother didn't have any objections to this. She just said that this was my father's freedom. As long as Ya Fuan was not involved with our mother and daughter, we could say anything.
After discussing it with my mother, my father went to Tiancheng to discuss the will with Lawyer Qin. The first meeting should be about how to draw up the will. Some of the contents in the will have been finalized. As for the specific details, Dad should have said that the details will be discussed after he returns from overseas. "
Qin Shoumo nodded, "That's the thing. At that time, Mr. Xu said that he would have a particularly important ocean voyage in two days and needed to prepare for it in a few days. He didn't have time to draw up a will. He would have time after he came back this time. Follow me slowly to finalize the details of your will.
But that was also the last time I saw Mr. Xu, and he never came to see me again. I took on so many cases every day that I quickly forgot about it.
Why, could it be that after Mr. Xu came back, he suddenly found that he was in good health and there was no need to draw up a will now. He was prepared to wait two years before he could do anything else? "
Xu Xi shook his head, "Dad never came back after he went to sea that time."
Qin Shoumo was stunned, "Not back?"
"The transportation plan for that time was to be completed in two months at the latest and return to Qingdao smoothly. But since going to sea until now, there has been no news about my father.
Not only dad, but more than a thousand people on the entire fleet have lost contact. "
"Tsk, it won't be the same as last time. I encountered some kind of accident like a typhoon on the road, and then lost my memory again or something?" Qin Shoumo guessed.
Xu Xi shook his head, "In the 1990s, Internet informatization had not yet become popular, and personal information was not connected to the Internet. If you lose a person, there is almost no chance to find him again.
But now it is 2022. In this era of extremely developed network information technology, coupled with the Beidou satellite in the sky and the Sky Eye system on the ground, as long as any one of these more than a thousand people can contact the local police , we will be able to know what happened and why this fleet disappeared out of thin air. "
"The disappearance of the chairman of Asia Marine Group is something that is enough to shock the entire business world. I didn't know about it until you told me. Asia Marine's confidentiality work is good."
“The reason why Asia Shipping can stand at the top of the entire Asian shipping industry, and is even officially designated as a shipping company for transporting state secrets, is because its safety factor is so high that it has always been the best in Asia and even the world.
Asia Shipping Group, which focuses on safety, will have no safety factor if it is revealed that even the chairman of the group has disappeared during transportation. Whoever cooperates with us in the future will not hesitate like before. Just trust us.
At present, the group's board of directors is jointly managed by Mrs. Xu and the vice-chairman of the board of directors. The board of directors has unanimously decided to use the reason that the chairman is too tired from work and goes abroad to relax first to hide this matter first, and then keep it secret He contacted well-known detectives from all over the country and asked them to investigate the disappearance of the ship. He also did not mention anything about the chairman to the detectives. He just said that a group executive led the team to the south. Now that the executive is missing, let him Detectives will use any means to find the whereabouts of the executives.
It's just that these detectives were sent out in waves, and eventually even the police got involved, but not to mention one person, even the behemoth ships disappeared into the sea. "
"It sounds quite weird." Qin Shoumo commented: "It has been more than half a year since the last time Mr. The ship, this is not simply missing."
"That's right, so now everyone is doubting whether dad and the fleet will have a chance to come back. Theoretically speaking, based on the current situation, it is likely that they encountered something unexpected in a certain sea area. The natural disaster that we resisted caused even the people and the boat to be overturned. They were overturned to the depths of the sea without even having time to struggle, and they could never come back."
"So, what does this have to do with you coming to me? Your father's will has not been made yet, right? Do you think that having just one flower shop is not enough, and you want to get more from Yasun's shares through legal means? ?" Qin Shoumo guessed, "Theoretically speaking, you are Mr. Xu's biologically related daughter. In addition to the current situation without a will, if you really want to divide it, you can definitely divide it a little bit, but it's over. How much are you going to spend on my legal fees?"
Qin Shoumo's question caught Xu Xi off guard for a while. After staying there for a long time, he said softly: "Lawyer Qin, you misunderstood. I am just like my mother. I wish that Asia Shipping Group could stay away from us, mother and daughter." Son, I have no interest in those shares or anything like that.
The reason why I came to you is to talk to you about the will made by my father. "
"A will? What kind of will?" Qin Shoumo was stunned. "Did Mr. Xu find another lawyer to make a will for himself?"
After Xu Xi was silent for a while, he shook his head, "I don't know either. I asked my mother and she didn't know if my father made other wills behind our backs.
Eight months after her father disappeared, that is, at the beginning of last month, Mrs. Xu suddenly took out a will at the board of directors meeting with his father's fingerprints and signature on it.
The content of the will is that once my father disappears for more than half a year, all the assets in his name, including cars, houses, cash and shares in Asia Marine Group, will be transferred to the names of Mrs. Xu and her three children respectively. The will But my mother and I were not mentioned at all. "
"She took out her will after disappearing for more than half a year. Why does Yang Yuanying feel so weird?" Qin Shoumo raised his eyebrows.
"Although I don't know the specific situation, I can intuitively feel my father's love for me and my mother. Even if my father really wants to hand over all Asia Marine Group and his personal assets to Mrs. Xu, My mother and I have no objections.
It’s just that in this will, there was not a single word mentioned about my mother and me from beginning to end, as if the two of us didn’t exist at all.
So I suspect this will is fake. "
