Chapter 505: Forfeit Inheritance【2】
Hao Jingcheng’s business card was just a plain-looking, white business card.
It did not have any fancy decorations, and its design was extremely simple.
On the front of the card was just the name and contact information of his own law firm.
“I can sign the waiver now.”
Ye Tianxin stared at Hao Jingcheng with a serious look on her face. She had never planned to ask for Lu Jijun’s inheritance, but she didn’t want to leave her share to Lu Qingxin.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the necessary documents with me. If you can, please come to my law firm tomorrow. If that isn’t convenient, I can arrange to come to you instead.”
Ye Tianxin exchanged glances with Li Qingcang, who then nodded.
“I will come to your law firm tomorrow.”
“I will be waiting for your visit.”
Lu Qingxin watched her father’s lawyer and Ye Tianxin converse politely. She felt her own heart ache. She leaned on Gu Yancheng’s shoulder and wept silently.
Gu Yancheng watched as Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin left the funeral. He turned around to comfort Lu Qingxin.
“Qingxin, don’t cry. We don’t know exactly what Uncle was thinking.”
Lu Qing embraced Gu Yancheng and cried loudly.
She was crying for her future.
A long time ago, her future was a road paved with gold, and every step she took was full of promise and confidence.
But now, her future was gloomy and uncertain.
It seemed that the only way to secure her future was to marry Gu Yancheng.
Of course, Gu Yancheng wasn’t bad, but with a high-quality man like Li Qingcang in front of her, how could Gu Yancheng make her feel satisfied?
“Brother Yancheng, I want to visit Uncle.”
“All right.”
After Gu Yancheng was done dealing with the funeral, he drove Lu Qingxin back to the villa.
Lu Qingxin was wearing a little black dress and a pair of black ballet flats. A petite white flower was pinned on her chest. Her entire demeanor made her look very fragile and sympathetic.
Gu Yancheng took Lu Qingxin’s hand and walked her to the villa.
“Dad.”
“Uncle.”
Gu Yanbai raised his head and looked at Lu Qingxin and Gu Yancheng, who were standing next to each other.
“You want to ask me about the will, right?”
“Yes.”
Lu Qingxin’s voice sounded choked as she said, “Uncle, how could my dad do this? I would understand why he would want to compensate Ye Tianxin if she were truly his daughter. But she’s obviously just the daughter of his first love! Why would he give half of his net worth to Ye Tianxin?”
“Qingxin, I can explain this to you.”
Gu Yanbai’s deep voice was unique to middle-aged men. He sounded calm and reassuring.
“The reason your father gave half of his net worth to Ye Tianxin was because he had a debt to pay to her!”
Lu Qingxin looked at Gu Yanbai in shock. “Uncle…”
“Qingxin, don’t worry. Listen to me. When your father came to Shenhai City for development, the start-up fund was provided by Ye Tianxin’s mother, Ye Linlang. In other words, if there was no support from Ye Linlang, there would be no such thing as the Lu Corporation. Your father was a very grateful man, and he was just repaying his kindness from back then.”
Gu Yancheng was startled. He didn’t expect this to be the case.
Lu Qingxin still didn’t believe Gu Yanbai’s words, and she said with red eyes, “Uncle, don’t lie to me. My dad simply never forgot his first love!”
Gu Yanbai furrowed his eyebrows and he looked at Lu Qingxin solemnly.
“Qingxin, it stands to reason that I shouldn’t say this. How much assets your father had and how he wanted to distribute them were his decision alone. I think you should accept all this with gratitude. If you think your father wasn’t good enough, then you can also reject the inheritance. You can build your own empire with your own hands. You have to know that your father built up the Lu Corporation from scratch with his bare hands. You didn’t put in any single bit of effort in all of this, and on the contrary, you have been enjoying everything your father has given you.”
