My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 866 - : 866, Old Master Mo passed away due to illness
Chapter 866: 866, Old Master Mo passed away due to illness
Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up, as if possessed, and walked out. “I’m going back.”
Her striking face was expressionless, but her steps were extremely fast, as if she were avoiding something terrifying.
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes but did not stop her.
After the two had left, he picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Yebai,” the call connected, and Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly asked, “Did Weiyi visit you at the hospital?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good…”
“She just went back to the old house, did something happen?”
Facing this question, Mo Yaoxiong’s tone was as usual, “Nothing’s wrong, why? Did she tell you anything?”
Xiao Yebai said, “She didn’t say anything.”
“I see,” Mo Yaoxiong sighed, “Pregnancy is just like that, very emotional and prone to overthinking. There should be no major issues.”
After he finished, he changed the subject, “I’m going to the hospital to see you now, and I’ll also handle the transfer formalities.”
“There’s no need for that.”
“Nangong Hospital has better facilities, and since your grandfather is here, it’s convenient for you to stay here so we can take care of him together,” Mo Yaoxiong added, “I will hang up now. I’ll talk more when I reach the hospital…”
“There’s something I forgot to tell you.” Xiao Yebai suddenly interrupted him, “Xu Jing called me during the car accident yesterday.”
“Xu Jing?” Mo Yaoxiong was surprised, “What did she tell you?”
“I didn’t manage to answer.”
“…Oh.”
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but it seemed like Mo Yaoxiong breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Then he explained, “Weiyi’s grandmother came over a couple of days ago and has been staying at the old house with Xu Jing. It might have been her who called you to ask about Weiyi.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Yebai’s tone was indifferent.
“Yes, as you know, the old lady has always treated Weiyi like her own granddaughter. Ever since the adoption certificate was discovered, she has felt very guilty towards Weiyi…”
**
Mo Family’s old house.
Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone with a smile.
But as soon as he put down the phone, his expression quickly turned dark.
He quickly dialed Mo Weiyi’s mobile phone, and blurted out, “Weiyi, how did you find that voice recorder?”
Mo Weiyi told the truth, “I went back to the old house this morning, and Xu Jing gave it to me.”
“I see.”
Just as he had suspected.
Xu Jing!
Again, this woman!
Still relentless!
Even though she was put under confinement, she still dared to scheme like this…
Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone and quickly stood up, striding out with fierce steps.
**
Meanwhile, at the attic behind the West Garden Villa.
Second-floor bedroom.
“Dr. Yu, how is my daughter doing?”
After the family doctor had finished the examination, Mrs. Xu hurriedly approached him.
Dr. Yu took off his stethoscope and slowly said, “Ms. Xu’s external injuries have mostly healed, and her two fractured ribs are also healing. As for other aspects…”
“…” Mrs. Xu looked at him.
“Madam,” Dr. Yu said cautiously, “from what I can see, aside from the occasional difficulty in recognizing people, I haven’t found anything else unusual with Ms. Xu.”
“How could that be? Look at her now, dazed daily, just gazing outside in a haze…”
Doctor Yu looked at the woman sitting on the bay window.
She was dressed in pajamas and had maintained the same posture since he had entered, her dark eyes fixed outside, her expression distant and statue-like.
This was the second floor, with an abandoned garden just behind the attic, and it was summer, so other than deadwood and some weeds, there really was nothing to see…
Doctor Yu frowned deeply, just about to speak again when suddenly a series of footsteps sounded from behind.
“Chairman.”
The woman, originally staring out the window, changed her expression at the sound, then tremblingly lifted her arms to embrace herself, burying her face in her knees.
“Yaoxiong?” Mrs. Xu, surprised by her son-in-law, “What brings you here?”
Mo Yaoxiong, upon entering, looked toward the woman sitting on the bay window. His face was extremely ugly, his gaze fierce, and his hands tightly clenched into fists.
Upon hearing Mrs. Xu’s question, he said, “Doctor Yu, you can leave first.”
“…Okay.” Doctor Yu efficiently packed up his medical kit and swiftly left.
“Yaoxiong…”
Just as Mrs. Xu’s voice faded, Mo Yaoxiong walked straight towards the bay window.
He roughly grabbed the woman pretending to be dead, his movements crude and excessively brutal.
With a loud “clang,” Xu Jing was pulled off the bay window, falling directly to the floor.
Mrs. Xu was startled, “Yaoxiong, what are you doing?”
“Aaaaah—” Xu Jing also began to scream frantically, continually pleading, “Mom, save me, please save me…”
The cries for help from her daughter were impossible for Mrs. Xu to ignore; she hurried forward, attempting to intervene, “Yaoxiong, Xu Jing’s rib injury hasn’t completely healed, and she’s somewhat disoriented now…”
“Disoriented?” Mo Yaoxiong viciously kicked her.
His black leather shoe carried a fierce force, striking precisely on the ribs.
“Ahhh—” Xu Jing let out a long scream, pain causing her to instantly break out in a cold sweat.
“Do you recognize me now?”
Mo Yaoxiong, still not satisfied, lifted his foot to kick again.
“Yaoxiong!” Mrs. Xu grabbed his arm, “What on earth are you doing!”
Mo Yaoxiong’s face was ashened, and he did not respond.
“What in the world happened? What has Xu Jing done wrong?” Mrs. Xu was utterly baffled, “I’ve been watching her these past few days, what did she do to make you so angry?”
“Mom.” Mo Yaoxiong finally spoke, “You want her to see a doctor, right?”
Mrs. Xu: “…”
She had indeed considered this.
These past days here, it was obvious her daughter’s mental state wasn’t quite right.
And given all the atrocious things Xu Jing had done, not to mention how furiously Mo Yaoxiong had just kicked her…
Mo Yaoxiong said, “I will have someone take her to the psychiatric hospital immediately.”
Mrs. Xu’s expression changed.
Mo Yaoxiong had already taken out his phone.

Just as he was about to make a call, his phone rang preemptively.
He had to answer it first, “Shibo.”
“…”
Whatever Shibo said on the other end, Mo Yaoxiong’s previously angry expression tightened abruptly, “What did you say?”
“…”
“I’ll go to the hospital right now.” After speaking, he turned and left.
**
Top floor of Nangong Hospital, in the SVIP ward.
Men in black suits stood tensely along the corridor outside the door.
Doctors and nurses bustled anxiously, constantly shuttling in and out of the ward.
When Weiyi arrived, she was completely bewildered.
She had just left the hospital and was halfway home when she received a call from Yaoxiong, telling her that the old man’s condition was bad and to come over immediately.
Now, in the ward, she could hear the ceaseless sound of medical staff performing resuscitations, along with the alarming beeps of machines…
Dense and brief, each sound seemed to strike directly at her heart.
The doctors had already informed her earlier that the old man’s illness was very severe, compounded by constant emotional turmoil, recently even breathing and speaking had become difficult…
Everyone had mentally prepared themselves, knowing the old man did not have much time left. Each resuscitation could very likely be the last.
But…
Being prepared was just a hypothetical after all.
When the attending doctor, dressed in a white coat, came out of the ward and took off his mask, his expression solemn, he said, “We have made our utmost effort, but the old gentleman’s conditions are really too severe. Please accept my condolences…”
Weiyi felt her body sway.
Fortunately, Rong An was standing by her side and quickly reached out to steady her arm, preventing her from falling.
“What do you mean?” Yaoxiong could not believe it, “Weren’t you just resuscitating him? Doesn’t resuscitation mean… everything will be alright?”
The attending doctor sighed, “Go and see the old man for the last time. Say whatever you need to say; try to settle everything.”
With that, he turned and left.
One by one, the medical staff also exited the room, then departed.
Shi Bo was the last to come out. His eyes were red, his voice and expression unspeakably sorrowful, “Come in, everyone.”
Weiyi hurried to go inside, but her arm was suddenly caught.
It was Yaoxiong.
He whispered, “Let grandfather leave in peace, understand?”
“…” Weiyi looked at him, her face pale.
“Listen to your father,” Yaoxiong said again, “Your grandfather loved you the most in his life. In fact, he has come to understand many things recently, but he was too proud to lower his head, so… just consider it repaying the twenty years of love he has shown you, and let him leave in peace, understand?”
“But…”
Footsteps suddenly sounded.
It was the bodyguard bringing Yebai over.
He was dressed in hospital attire, with a bandage on his forehead, his handsome features tense and stern, his brows furrowed deeply.
Immediately, Yaoxiong said, “Yebai, you come in too.”
…
Inside the room.
The old Mr. Mo lay on the hospital bed, his gown crisply wrinkled from a recent, tough resuscitation, his face colorless. Yet, his eyes were open as if flickering back to light…
Upon hearing the sound, he even slightly moved his cloudy eyes to look their way.
Upon seeing such a scene, Weiyi could not control her crushing emotions.
Her nose soured, and tears quickly began to fall, soon blurring her vision completely.
Yaoxiong quickly spoke up, “Dad, I’ve brought Yebai and Weiyi to see you.”
“Grandfather.” Yebai called out softly.
Weiyi, with tear-filled eyes, finally managed to speak, albeit with a breaking voice, “Grandfather…”
“Old gentleman.” Shi Bo bent over by the bed and said softly, “The children have come to see you. Do you have anything you want to say to them?”
Mr. Mo gasped heavily, struggling to open his lips to speak.
But due to the tube in his neck, his voice was rough and hoarse, “I…I…”
Yaoxiong hurriedly asked, “Dad, what do you want to say?”
Mr. Mo slowly lifted a feeble hand, pointing straight at Weiyi’s direction, intermittently saying, “My… my… will…”
Yaoxiong’s expression changed dramatically, “Dad, what about the will?”
Shi Bo immediately spoke up, “Don’t worry, old gentleman, the will has already been changed according to your instructions.”
Upon hearing those words, Grandfather Mo seemed reassured and calmed down significantly, no longer speaking.
He slowly lowered his hand back down.
Seemingly too exhausted and wanting to rest, he closed his eyes.
A deathly silence fell over the hospital room.
Weiyi Mo stood there, staring blankly at the elderly man on the hospital bed.
She wasn’t sad at all.
Really.
She might have felt before that discovering she wasn’t his biological granddaughter, thus Grandfather Mo’s wanting to change his will, was rather hurtful.
But after learning that Yebai Xiao was actually the Mo Family’s child, she felt nothing about the so-called will.
Even if Grandfather Mo hadn’t planned to change the will and really wanted to allocate those shares to her, she wouldn’t have the face to accept them.
What troubled her now was something else…
Weiyi Mo looked towards Mo Yaoxiong, “Dad…”
“Grandfather?” Suddenly, Uncle Shi exclaimed.
Weiyi Mo abruptly turned her head.
On the hospital bed, Grandfather Mo still had his eyes closed, appearing as if he had already fallen asleep, with no response whatsoever.
Until the sound from the device nearby suddenly went off like an alarm, and the green heartbeat line flatlined…
Uncle Shi, trembling, reached out to check Grandfather’s breathing.
Then he lifted his head, his voice heavy with sorrow, “Grandfather… he’s gone…”
Weiyi Mo felt a boom in her head.
Before she could react, everything went dark and her body heavily fell backward.
The last moment of her memory seemed to involve a pair of hands supporting her.
Following that, she completely lost consciousness.
…
When Weiyi Mo woke up again, she was already lying in the second-floor bedroom of the Lishui Bay Villa.
She opened her eyes, the room was dim, only a small lamp by the bed was on, casting a warm orange glow.
“Awake?”
The man’s low, deep voice resonated.
Weiyi Mo turned her head and saw a man sitting on the bedroom sofa.
It was Yebai Xiao.
Seeing his hospital gown, the scenes before she fainted flashed quickly through her mind…
Weiyi Mo suddenly sat up, threw off the thin blanket, and chaotically tried to get out of bed…
“Grandpa is gone.”
One sentence succeeded in stopping all of Weiyi Mo’s movements.
Then she lifted her head to look at him.
Her black and white eyes just stared at him.
As if filled with confusion and incomprehension.
Yebai Xiao faintly repeated, “Before you passed out, Grandpa was already gone, he had passed away.”
Weiyi Mo: “…”
The room was engulfed in a prolonged silence.
Until…
“Impossible!” Weiyi Mo shook her head desperately, “Impossible, impossible…”
Her voice grew lower and became more choked up until she eventually couldn’t hold back her tears.
Why?
Why did Grandpa have to leave like that?
She hadn’t had the chance to say that although she wasn’t the Mo Family’s biological daughter, she was carrying the Mo family’s blood in her womb…
Also, the Mo Family wasn’t bereft of descendants; there was blood of their own, and Xiao Yebai was proof of that…
“One cannot return to life after death.”
Xiao Yebai’s voice was deep, yet it carried a hint of faint indifference.
It was like he was talking about someone completely unrelated…
“You are pregnant now, the doctor said you shouldn’t get too emotional…”
In response, the woman’s crying became even more uncontrollable.
Mo Weiyi just sat on the bed, crying breathlessly in front of him without any pretense.
How could she even listen to what he was saying?
After all, being a delicate little princess who had lived a carefree life for twenty years, despite all the recent upheavals she faced, nothing seemed as unbearable as today’s event…
The grandfather who loved her the most had just left like this; even though he wasn’t her biological grandfather, during the past twenty years, the old Mr. Mo truly cherished her.
Xiao Yebai walked to the bed, lifted his large hand, and pulled her into his embrace.
Perhaps because she was crying so hard, Mo Weiyi, with her head lowered and body sobbing and trembling uncontrollably, didn’t push him away.
Soon, a cold dampness spread across his chest.
The man’s handsome brows knitted slightly, but then…
He said nothing, just silently held her, letting her cry for a long time…
Until the sudden ring of a cell phone broke the silence.
The cell phone was in his pocket, very close, and Mo Weiyi, as if awakened, realized where she was and moved out of his embrace.
She didn’t look up but saw at a glance that the hem of the hospital garment he wore was soaked with a large patch of her tears.
Xiao Yebai answered the call, “Dad.”
“…”
He glanced at Mo Weiyi and said in a low voice, “The person has regained consciousness; there’s nothing serious.”
“…”
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai said, “Tomorrow morning, Mr. Shi will bring the lawyer to announce Grandpa’s will, and Rong An will take you there.”
His voice was deep and calm, speaking slowly yet very briefly, carrying a nearly icy coolness.
Mo Weiyi, with her head down, responded in a very low voice, “Okay.”
Xiao Yebai added, “I have to go back to the hospital; take good care of yourself.”
Mo Weiyi continued, “Okay.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
He looked at the woman sitting on the large bed, with her messy hair hanging down, her slender body encased in a white nightgown, exuding a pitiable charm.
The fingers holding his cell phone tightened and then relaxed again, but in the end, he said nothing and just turned around and left.
**
It was late into the night.
Xiao Yebai went downstairs and didn’t leave right away; instead, he pushed open the door of the first-floor study and walked in.
After closing the door, he moved to the desk and sat down in the black leather chair.
His slender, bony fingers pulled open a drawer, found a lighter and a cigarette, and skillfully lit one.
He didn’t smoke it but just held it between his fingers.
Then he leaned back, almost sprawling his entire body onto the chair, tilted his chin up, revealing his sensuously near-perfect jawline.
The room gradually filled with a strong pungent smell of smoke.
The man maintained this pose without changing until the cigarette burned out, bringing a stinging pain to his fingers…
Xiao Yebai opened his eyes and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
His expression was cold and indifferent, and soon he took a second cigarette from the pack and continued to light it with his lighter…
He lit cigarettes one after another until his phone rang.
Xiao Yebai answered the call, “Hello.”
The call was from Zhan Yao.
As soon as he heard his indifferent voice, concern was immediately voiced on the other end, “Are you okay?”
Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, just extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
“I just got the message that the old man has passed away,” Zhan Yao paused for a moment, and then asked again, “Are you alright?”
“Heh,” Xiao Yebai let out a low snort of derision, “What do you think?”
“Uh…” Zhan Yao felt a bit awkward, “No matter what, you’ve called him grandpa for over ten years, even if your relationship wasn’t good, he was still an elder of the Mo Family.”
…
He didn’t speak, and Zhan Yao, used to his silence, continued on his own, “The Mo Family has really been quite turbulent lately, but the old man was too cruel. I heard he donated all his property to charity organizations, not leaving a single penny for the Little Princess, is that true?”
…
“True to his underworld roots, his heart is ruthless, just because he found out the Little Princess wasn’t biologically related to the Mo Family, he didn’t leave her a penny? Isn’t that a bit too harsh? But still, even if he donated all his shares, the other miscellaneous shareholders together couldn’t possibly exceed your portion, the Mo Family is still yours after all.”
Having said all this, Zhan Yao sincerely exclaimed, “It hasn’t been easy, brother. After all these years, you’ve finally reaped the rewards.”
Reaped the rewards?
Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, but his thin lips slowly curled up in a three-part sneer.
Perhaps realizing he wasn’t in the mood for chit-chat, Zhan Yao quickly said, “You just take care of yourself and heal for now. I’m currently on a business trip out of town, we’ll talk more when I get back…”
Xiao Yebai hung up the phone directly.
**
The next day.
At 9 AM, Mo Group officially announced the death of Elder Mo.
Although rumors about Elder Mo’s limited days had been rampant, this was the first time the news was officially confirmed and released by the authorities.
The news naturally caused a huge uproar among the people of Nancheng.
Mo Weiyi, sitting in the car, could see the news of Elder Mo’s death being broadcast on the big screens in the shopping malls as he passed through the center of Nancheng City.
…
At 10 AM, Mo Weiyi arrived at the old house on time.
All the servants and bodyguards were dressed in dark-colored clothes and wore black mourning bands on their arms.
In the living room, several key personnel were already seated on the sofas, including Xiao Yebai.
He must have come directly from the hospital, but he had already changed into a black shirt and dress pants.
Without wearing glasses.
Apart from the bandage on his forehead, his demeanor was aloof and restrained, stable and composed.
Once everyone was seated, upon a gesture from Shi Bo, the lawyer responsible for Elder Mo’s will, Lawyer Lu, stood up, picked up the sealed folder on the table, solemnly opened it, and took out a will declaration from inside.
“This will has been revised about five times altogether. During the final modification and settlement, Elder Mo was very lucid. Besides me, Shi Bo was also present at the scene,” he said.
After speaking, Lawyer Lu’s gaze surveyed everyone’s faces, “If there are no objections from anyone, I will now officially announce the contents of the will.”
The contents of the will weren’t complicated and mainly concerned the distribution of all the assets under Elder Mo’s name.
But the distribution of his assets was rather complicated…
Lawyer Lu, now in his fifties, had once been a celebrated top lawyer in Nancheng and had even founded what is now the largest Yurui Law Firm. However, since handing over the firm to his son, he had started semi-retirement to enjoy his later years.
Aside from taking on significant commissions like this, he no longer dealt with other cases.
With his extensive experience, he divided all of Elder Mo’s assets into three parts, with the largest portion being the shares Elder Mo held in Mo Group; the other two parts consisted of various real estates and cash, deposits, etc.
“…After calculation, the total shares of Mo Group under Elder Mo’s name amount to 36.5 percent. According to Elder Mo’s instructions, this 36.5 percent of shares was divided into three parts,” Lawyer Lu continued.
The living room was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
Lawyer Lu went on, “The first portion, 30 percent, is donated to the charity organization under Mo Group’s name to continue supporting charitable activities. The second portion, 35 percent, goes to his granddaughter Mo Weiyi…”
Mo Weiyi suddenly looked up.
She couldn’t hide her surprise at all.
“Lawyer Lu, did you read that incorrectly?” Mo Yaoxiong blurted out as well.
He had thought that after such a heavy blow, the old man had consulted a lawyer and Shi Bo to change his will on the day of the incident…
Everyone had guessed that the old man definitely wouldn’t leave the inheritance to Mo Weiyi, who wasn’t a Mo Family member, but…
Lawyer Lu smiled, “It’s written clearly in black and white, with the old man’s seal and fingerprint. Shi Bo can also provide a witness statement right here.”
Mo Yaoxiong: “…”
Next.
“The remaining thirty-five percent…”
Lawyer Lu suddenly glanced at the young man who had been sitting quietly since entering the room.
Then he continued, “is left to my granddaughter Mo Weiyi, her husband Xiao Yebai, and their soon-to-be-born child, with the stipulation that Xiao Yebai may not exercise any rights over these shares until the child turns eighteen.”
…
After the shares were distributed, other assets were allocated.
Mo Weiyi basically couldn’t pay attention anymore…
She kept looking at Xiao Yebai.
But she noticed that this man had no reaction, even though the will didn’t assign him any assets!
“That concludes the content of the will. Does anyone have any questions?” After announcing all the contents of the will, Lawyer Lu asked.
No one spoke.
“If there are no questions, I will contact you one by one to discuss and handle the procedures for the property and share transfers.”
“Thank you, Lawyer Lu,” Mo Yaoxiong quickly stood up.
Shi Bo saw the lawyer out.
In the large living room, only three people remained.
Mo Yaoxiong sighed softly then began, “Yebai…”
“Dad!” Mo Weiyi suddenly said, “I have something to tell you.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked at her, apparently also hesitant, and immediately stood up, “Yebai, you rest here for a bit; I need to talk with Weiyi.”
**
Garage.
Rong An closed the car door and quietly moved to the side to wait.
In the car, Mo Weiyi asked, “Dad, why didn’t grandfather change the will?”
“Perhaps he came to terms with it in the end,” Mo Yaoxiong consoled her, “Grandpa still loves you very much, as I’ve always said. He was just too shocked at the time and couldn’t accept it, but in his heart, he still regarded you as his own granddaughter…”
“But…,” Mo Weiyi bit her lip, “I’m not his biological granddaughter, Xiao Yebai is his biological grandson, and these shares shouldn’t be mine; they should be Xiao Yebai’s…”
“You and Yebai are husband and wife; what’s given to you and the child is effectively given to Yebai.”
Mo Weiyi shook her head, “No, that’s not it…”
She and Xiao Yebai had already divorced.
The shares given to her and her unborn child totaled twenty-five percent of the Mo Group, and these… should have been Xiao Yebai’s…
“Yebai is currently managing the company, and he holds fifty percent of the shares. After the rites, I will hold a press conference to formally announce my withdrawal from the Mo Group shareholders’ meeting,” Mo Yaoxiong finished, “What’s done is done, so don’t overthink it, and don’t forget you are carrying a child. Constant crying isn’t good for prenatal care.”
Mo Weiyi knew this well.
But thinking about the content of the will, her heart felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone; she couldn’t breathe, nor could she think straight.
If the old master had donated all the shares, she might not have felt so miserable.
But now, since the shares were distributed to her as previously stated, she truly felt unworthy.
She still remembered the old master’s complacent expression when he had said that this was the only way to guard against Xiao Yebai…
But these things really shouldn’t be hers!
Especially thinking back to the way Lawyer Lu looked at Xiao Yebai…
What kind of look was that?
Sympathy?
Pity?
Everyone in Nancheng knew that the current state of the Mo Family was all brought about after Xiao Yebai joined the family.
Yet, when the old Mr. Mo was on his deathbed, he didn’t leave a single penny to this adopted son of the Mo Family!
How ironic this was!
Mo Weiyi could even imagine that, once the contents of the will were announced, all sorts of speculation and discussion would arise from various social sectors about this issue.
All people wanted to see were the internal conflicts of a wealthy family, but they were clueless about the actual truth of the matter.
The thought that such discussions would continue for the next year, ten years, or even decades…
Mo Weiyi felt she couldn’t accept it.
…
After Mo Yaoxiong left, Rong An returned to the car and started the engine.
After leaving the old residence, she drove in the direction of Lishui Bay Villa.
But midway, Mo Weiyi spoke, “Rong An, back to the old residence.”
Rong An: “…Okay.”
…
Half an hour later, at the Mo Family’s old residence.
Xiao Yebai had already returned to the hospital, and Mo Yaoxiong wasn’t there either.
The entire hall was empty except for Uncle Shi.
He was in the bedroom, dealing with the old Mr. Mo’s belongings.
Upon seeing Mo Weiyi enter, he immediately stood up, “Princess?”
Mo Weiyi stood there, just gazing into the bedroom.
Her black outfit made her face appear extremely pale.
Uncle Shi also knew she was upset, especially now as she looked at the room the old man had lived in, the things he had used…
He said, “Princess, let’s talk outside.”
Mo Weiyi turned around.
…
In the living room, Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa.
She quietly asked, “Uncle Shi, when did grandfather change the will?”
Uncle Shi sighed, “Just a few days ago, while you were in Kyoto. I told the old man about your affairs in Kyoto, and he asked me to call the lawyer to revert the contents of the will.”
“So, that means…” Mo Weiyi was a bit dazed, “I wasn’t mistaken about what I heard before.”
Uncle Shi puzzled, “What did you hear?”
“A few days ago, I went to the hospital wanting to see grandfather, but he didn’t see me, and afterwards, I heard your conversation with dad in the hallway.”
Uncle Shi recalled and then realized, “During that time, Yaoxiong was also constantly suggesting to the old man about changing the will. In fact, I had mentioned it too, but you know the old man’s character, once he makes a decision, no one can change it unless he changes his mind himself. Later, he did indeed come around, so he had me change it. This morning I actually intended to tell you, but didn’t get the chance.”
Mo Weiyi’s eyes were wide open; she hadn’t slept well last night, looking very haggard…
Hearing these words, tears flowed down like a spring, “If… if I had known earlier, I definitely would have convinced grandfather to change the will…”
“Princess.” Uncle Shi said solemnly, “I pretty much watched you grow up, and I can tell, the old man truly cherished you. He just couldn’t accept it for a moment, but you were still in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so angry…”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “I know…”
“Life cannot be brought back.” Uncle Shi consoled her, “Fortunately, in the end, the old man died without regrets, he followed his true inner thoughts. I think that after the little young master is born, the old man, even in the underworld, will definitely treat him as his own grandchild…”
“Uncle Shi.” Mo Weiyi finally couldn’t hold back and interrupted him, “I need Lawyer Lu’s contact information, can you give it to me?”
The contents of the will had been fully announced, and next, even if Mo Weiyi didn’t contact him, Lawyer Lu would have taken the initiative to contact her to proceed with the transfer of property.
Uncle Shi, without giving it much thought, quickly stood up, “Okay, I’ll get you his business card.”
“Thank you, Uncle Shi.”
