Grandma looked at Huo Simian with deep meaning.
In the early years, his mother had started arranging marriage arrangements for him, but it was a pity that the rich ladies in the capital looked down on him. The key was that his legs could not be cured at all, and they might not be able to heal after so many years.
Grandma laughed disdainfully, her eyes still clear at the age of more than eighty years.
"I'm getting older, and my health is getting worse and worse recently. I don't know how long I can live. Everyone is here today, and in front of Lawyer Zhang, the matter is settled."
Grandma signed the will.
Nancheng was dumbfounded by this operation. He pointed at the file and then at himself, "Wait...wait a minute, Mom."
"Are you not going to leave me anything?"
He is the only son in the family. Did the old lady pass over him and directly distribute the property to her granddaughter?
"What else do you want?"
Grandma blocked Nancheng's mouth with one sentence, "Have you lost money or food and clothing over the years?"
"I'm looking for a wife, not my own mother. Bai Fen keeps saying to help you. You should make a lot of money, right?"
Nancheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
He swallowed repeatedly, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", and then he managed to speak, "Afen really helped me stabilize my career. She deserves credit for our family."
"Even if you have objections to us, if you want to divide the inheritance, shouldn't it be time for a bowl of water to be settled equally?"
"Now, forget it if you don't give it to me. How much did Xiao Xi take?"
"If that's the case, I won't give any of the family's shares to Xiaozhi."
Nancheng said it in a reasonable manner, showing that he wanted to be fair, but in fact, he had already planned it in his heart, and it was just a greeting from the beginning.
Grandma didn't buy it at all. She held her reading glasses and replied disdainfully, "It sounds like you would do it in the beginning."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Nancheng glanced at Huo Sijue subconsciously.
He can't figure out what the relationship between him and Nanzhi is now, so he doesn't dare to make things too ugly.
"Grandma, do you dislike me because of my mother?" Nan Xi's eyes were red and she said aggrievedly, "You don't want to give me inheritance, nor do you want to give me shares in the family."
"But my mother——"
Nan Xi gradually lowered her voice, but her tone was full of contempt, "My mother and Xiaozhi's mother are originally different."
Seeing the fox tails of mother and daughter exposed, grandma smiled and said nothing. She stretched out her hand to signal Nanzhi to go to her.
"I no longer expect your father to be filial to me."
"Grandma is getting old, please come visit me more often and stay with me, okay?" Grandma held Nanzhi's hand with a sincere look.
Nanzhi's deepest impression of her still remains when Bai Fen drove her out arrogantly and domineeringly. After so many years, grandma's hair has turned white and she seems to be more indifferent. Only the hands holding her were still warm...
"good!"
At that moment, Nanzhi even thought of asking her grandma to move to the community to live with Lin Ya, so that she could be filial to them.
only--
Nanzhi looked back at Lin Ya, who had not said a word from beginning to end.
"We don't want anything." Suddenly, Huo Simian said.
His smile was gentle and graceful, and when the corners of his mouth were raised, there was still a hint of childishness.
"For something as big as the shares, it's better to share it equally with my sister-in-law. We can't let Xiao Xi take all of it. We are both daughters, so it's not fair to do things like this."
Nancheng didn't expect Huo Simian to turn his elbows outward. The key is that since he spoke, Nan Xi has become silent.
He said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I said, no." Huo Simian said it again without any hesitation, his words were clear and powerful. After saying that, he asked Nan Xi, "Do you want it?"
When asked this question, Nan Xi didn't dare to say anything.
Grandma saw all Nan Xi's small expressions in her eyes, and she had no sympathy for the mother and daughter at all. There is always a price to pay for hanging out with wolves.
"I……"
Nan Xi's eyes were red, she bit her lip and finally felt so wronged that she shed tears.
"It doesn't matter what you say about this matter. Whoever I want to leave my shares to is my wish."
"Mom, since you are merciless, don't blame me for falling out." Nancheng gritted his teeth, looking like he was determined to protect Bai Fen.
Grandma put down her tea cup, as if she didn't hear her at all.
"Do you still want to eat?" she asked casually.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was depressing and no one spoke.
Bai Fen looked extremely ugly, Nancheng also frowned, Nan Xi felt aggrieved but did not dare to speak because of Huo Simian, and Lin Ya did not say a word either...
Huo Sijue served Nanzhi vegetables as if no one else was watching. No one in the family was thinking about eating, but he wanted Nanzhi to eat more.
With these words alone, grandma knew she had won.
The old lady suddenly laughed, with a hearty voice. She looked at Huo Sijue approvingly and asked, "You have been married for three years, right."
Hearing the meaning behind these words, Huo Sijue opened his mouth and said, "I'm not in good health."
After six words, everyone suddenly raised their eyes. Even Nanzhi lowered his voice in shock and asked, "Why are you so crazy?"
"If you want to have a grandson, don't be in a hurry." Huo Sijue thought that grandma was forced to have a child just like Grandma Huo, so in order to avoid trouble, he directly took the problem on himself.
Grandma smiled and said, "Whether you want to have children or how many you want to have is a matter for you young people."
She changed the subject and glared at Nancheng.
"I just sigh, it's been three years."
"Three years after Xiaozhi married into the Huo family, she hasn't received any better treatment from you."
"Mom, you-"
Nancheng hesitated and looked at Huo Sijue cautiously.
Isn't this trying to make trouble in front of him and deliberately making him look bad?
"It doesn't matter if you want the shares or not." Huo Sijue took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Nanzhi's waist.
She was angry and deliberately hid. It's a pity that Huo Sijue increased the strength on his hand as if he knew she would avoid it.
He leaned close to Nanzhi's ear and spoke to her seriously and patiently.
"Nanzhi has been married to me for so many years, and has been wronged by me. I have already thought that when our child is born, I will transfer the Huo's shares directly to her, which is my guarantee for Xiaozhi."
This is an explanation and a compensation.
Nan Xi's jealous gums were about to burst, and suddenly what Su Ling said that day flashed through her mind. In front of the family, he told everything without thinking.
"We are all a family. It's okay to give it to my sister, but -"
Nan Xi gave it up, and when Huo Simian looked at her coldly, she said, "I heard from a friend at the bank that my sister has been transferring money to an account abroad?"
Huo Sijue frowned slightly and looked at the woman beside him in confusion.
He had long suspected Nanzhi's financial problems, but based on the mutual trust between husband and wife, he had never checked Nanzhi's accounts.
Even if the medical clinic didn't make any money, he still gave Nanzhi a lot. She never likes to buy luxury goods, why is she still in such a tight situation?
Suddenly, the whole family looked at her.
Nanzhi didn't expect anyone else to know about this, and even Lin Ya looked at her in confusion.
"I...I just did charity and donated some money."
"Does charity need to keep adding money to an account?" Nan Xi finally pinched Nan Zhi's tail, with no intention of letting her go.
She simply retrieved all the information she had collected from her phone.
"What you say is unfounded, and this is the evidence!" Nan Xi said proudly.
It was a screenshot of a transfer. The location shown on it was a small European country, and the payee's name was Mu He.
Seeing these two words, Huo Sijue frowned instantly.
Nan Xi deliberately added fuel to the fire, "Xiaozhi, didn't you say you were donating money to charity?"
"This is a man's account."
Huo Simian looked at Nanzhi's expression with interest, her panic, fear, and unpreparedness...
"Yes, he is an individual and has been providing funding."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Nan Xi sneered, "I have already checked this person, and there is no information at all. If he is just an ordinary person and does things aboveboard, why would he deliberately conceal his identity information?"
Nanzhi couldn't say a word.
She didn't know Mu He's true identity at all, she only knew that he was a reporter. She had seen him offering high-priced bounties for supplies on the dark web, just because of the war in Monia that year and the children were displaced.
Nanzhi firmly believes that he is a good person.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Nanzhi looked directly at Nan Xi, his eyes cold.
"I should ask you this question. Nanzhi, you raised a man outside behind your family's back. What do you want to do?"
Nan Xi's words were particularly unpleasant, and he casually labeled her as an adulterer.
Nanzhi stared at her for a long time and said expressionlessly, "So? When did you start checking me?"
"It's really hard on you to try so hard to tell me that there's someone outside."
"Dad, look at her attitude!" Nan Xi's face turned red with anger, "It's okay for grandma to give her the money. If she gave it all to outsiders, wouldn't our whole family be taken advantage of by her?"
"What's going on?" Huo Sijue's voice was very soft, and his hand covered the back of Nanzhi's hand.
She kept moving back and forth uneasily. Huo Sijue probably already knew that this incident was most likely true and not something Nan Xi had made up.
His eyes dimmed for a moment, "If you want money, you can tell me. They are not the only ones who can give it to you, I can give you more."
"At least you want me to know where the money is going."
Nanzhi thought Huo Sijue would be angry and jealous, but when he was so calmly protecting her, she was at a loss.
"It's really funding." Nanzhi didn't dare to raise her head.
Before she and Mu He relied on trust. Besides, Mu He would often tell her about the situation there, and she had watched the video.
The ruins in the war, the crying children...it's all so real.
It was so true that as a doctor, she could do nothing but feel heartbroken.
"You...could you have been deceived?"
This was the first time Lin Ya heard about it, and she asked uneasily, "Why have I never heard you mention it in all these years?"
Nanzhi didn't dare to say that she saw these on the dark web.
