Chapter 29

Liu Zhengming walked to the front, and a few people from the Liu family stood to his left and right, showing their keen awareness of the situation.

"Will?" Yu Zeming chuckled to himself, "All these things of yours will eventually be mine. What does it matter if so many people are here to witness it today?"

Liu Zhengming looked at the more than a hundred people, his expression devoid of sorrow or joy. Everyone was waiting for him to speak, but he remained silent for almost two minutes before he finally opened his mouth.

"I'm very glad everyone could come, and I'm deeply moved," Liu Zhengming began with a polite remark, and many people waited for him to continue.

"I have lived in Jinghai for nearly fifty years, through wind and rain, and I've seen many ups and downs. Now, as I approach the end of my life, I have many reflections." Liu Zhengming sighed deeply.

Everyone's hearts tightened. "Approach the end of his life"? What did that mean? Was Old Master Liu about to pass away? Among so many people, perhaps only Yu Zeming remained the most calm.

"Grandpa!" Liu Xuerao called out, her face filled with anxiety.

However, Liu Qing and Liu Fei remained calm, their expressions only slightly changing. The most surprising was Liu Xuan, who showed no change in his demeanor from start to finish, as if the words were not about his own grandfather.

"Xuerao, you make me feel ashamed!" Liu Zhengming sighed. "Not long ago, I was still thinking of introducing you to someone else to advance the company. Zheng Hui was the troublemaker back then, and I'm sorry to you."

"It's okay, Grandpa!" Liu Xuerao held back her tears.

"When a person is about to die, they see everything clearly." Old Master Liu looked at Liu Qing and his son. "I wasn't a good father, and I wronged you, and even more so, I wronged Xiaoxuan. Thinking back, I was truly a beast. No wonder Zhao Yiming always looked down on me. Now I understand."

Xiaoxuan was Liu Xuerao's grandmother and Liu Qing's birth mother, the woman Old Master Liu had driven away. Hearing Zhao Yiming's name, Zhao Donglai was taken aback, as that was his father, who had passed away eight years ago.

"Hmph!" Liu Qing snorted but said nothing, harboring extreme dissatisfaction with this father.

"Today, I formally apologize to Xiaoxuan. I wronged her back then, and I will repent to her in the afterlife." Liu Zhengming bowed deeply to the sky outside the door.

Many people looked at him with surprise.

"Everything has come to an end today." Liu Zhengming slowly turned around. "Next, I will talk about what happens after my death. It's just a matter of property, which can also be considered my will."

Will!

"Grandpa, you don't have to do this. You can leave everything to Brother Xuan. He's still a bit childish now, but he will surely inherit your legacy in the future." Liu Xuerao said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Liu Zhengming shook his head, and many people's gazes toward Liu Xuerao changed. This woman was truly noble, showing no interest in the billions of assets.

"My sister is right. We can earn our own money and don't need a single cent from you. Father also swore at Grandma's memorial that he would never use a single cent of yours, so you don't need to consider us." Liu Fei spoke up.

This... Old Master Liu felt helpless. Was this the result of his years of persistence? When he viewed this wealth as precious, others might see it as worthless.

"Grandpa, how much money do you have? Can you give me a few billion?" Liu Xuan whispered from the side.

"Brat, it's all my fault for spoiling you." Liu Zhengming raised his hand to strike, but Liu Xuan, being quick, retreated half a meter and then looked at Liu Zhengming sheepishly.

"I won't take it if you don't want to." Liu Xuan muttered.

"Regardless of what you think, my will will not change. Lawyer Zuo, please read the will." Liu Zhengming looked at each of the Liu family members, but when he looked at Yu Zeming, he frowned.

"Sure, Mr. Liu." A man with black-rimmed glasses stepped forward. This man was Lawyer Zuo, a well-known lawyer in Jinghai.

"Let's start!" Liu Zhengming waved his hand.

"Alright." Zuo Fan stepped to the front.

"Mr. Liu's will is divided into four parts, each corresponding to a specific property. Please bear witness."

"First, 51% of the shares in Guangtian Technology Group will be given to Miss Liu as her dowry. Once Miss Liu gets married, the shares will belong to her. Before her marriage, they will be held in the name of her father, Liu Qing."

Just the first part caused a stir in the room. 51% of the shares to Liu Xuerao? This was like giving Guangtian Technology Group as a gift to Liu Xuerao. What about Liu Xuan?

Ignoring the reactions, Zuo Fan continued, "Second, the remaining 49% of the shares in Guangtian Technology Group will be given to..."

He paused, and many people became anxious. To whom? Just say it! But Zuo Fan looked at Liu Zhengming, who nodded, and he continued.

"Given to Liu Fei. However, due to Liu Fei's young age, the shares will be held in the name of Liu Qing until Liu Fei graduates from university."

It was Liu Fei!

Even Liu Fei himself couldn't believe it, and Yu Zeming's face turned red. How could this be? Shouldn't everything go to Liu Xuan? This way, he would have a chance to take it over. But why give it to Liu Xuerao and Liu Fei?

"I don't believe it!" Yu Zeming shouted in his mind. Old Master Liu was cutting off his path. What was left for him? What could he still take? How could everything change so suddenly?

"Third, the Chunyu Villa and all its contents will be given to Liu Xuan." Zuo Fan looked at Liu Xuan.

"Fourth, and the last part." Zuo Fan became more serious. "Mr. Liu has a fund worth 3 billion yuan, which will be given to Liu Xuan."

"What? 3 billion, and a fund?" Many people were shocked. Where did Old Master Liu get so much money?

Yu Zeming also looked at Liu Zhengming in shock. He didn't know Liu Zhengming had this ace up his sleeve. 3 billion yuan? If all this money were invested in Guangtian Technology Group, it would surely advance the company significantly.

"Continue." Liu Zhengming looked at Zuo Fan.

More to come? Many people were eager. Was there more for Liu Xuan?

"This fund will be supervised by Liu Qing for ten years. Liu Xuan will receive 60% of the annual returns, and the remaining 40% will go to Liu Qing. If Liu Xuan performs well within ten years, Liu Qing will return the fund to him. If Liu Xuan fails to improve, the fund will be given to Liu Qing after thirty years." Zuo Fan read the rest of the content in one breath.

Supervised by Liu Qing?

This!

Whether Liu Xuan would improve or not was up to Liu Qing. If Liu Qing claimed Liu Xuan failed to improve after ten years, wouldn't all the money go to him? This was like being both the referee and the player, completely unfair.

"Damn, this old man is so vicious!" Yu Zeming trembled, the wound on his shoulder throbbing. Today's events had hit him hard. In the end, Liu Zhengming's will was completely unexpected, and it didn't mention him at all.

What was he, Yu Zeming, then? Damn, too damn. Yu Zeming's anger was almost uncontrollable. He felt like he had been played, from start to finish, thoroughly and completely.

After the four parts were announced, everyone was stunned.

It was clear that Liu Zhengming had given almost all his property to Liu Xuerao's family, and he trusted them completely. Was this to make up for his past mistakes?

"You don't have to do this." Liu Qing said calmly.

Old Master Liu smiled. "This will is the result of my deep consideration over the past few days. Whether you agree or not, I won't change it. I entrust the care of Liu Xuan to you."

"Rest assured. As long as I have a meal, he won't starve. But if he fails to improve, I won't take a single cent of the 3 billion fund after ten years. I will donate it in your and Mother's name. As for the 40% of the returns you give me over these ten years, I will donate it all to Mother's hometown school." Liu Qing said solemnly.

Not a single cent, truly not a single cent!

Many people didn't understand Liu Qing's persistence, but his firm and calm face earned their respect.

"Alright, I believe you can do it." Liu Zhengming said, looking into the distance. "In a few days, I will go to your mother's grave to repent. Please come with me."

"Sure." Liu Qing didn't object.

After everything was done, many people admired Old Master Liu's magnanimity. Not many people could reach this level.

As for the fund, people learned the details from Zhao Donglai.

The main source of the fund was the 1.5 billion yuan Old Master Liu had withdrawn from Guangtian Technology Group ten years ago. It was originally intended as a contingency plan in case something happened to him, to make up for his wrongs to Liu Xuerao's family and to ensure Liu Xuan's living standards. Unfortunately, this contingency plan was only used now, which was quite ironic. Over the years, the fund had grown to 3 billion yuan.

Everything had its cause and effect, Yang Yu sighed. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel helpless about Old Master Liu's stubbornness. If it were Yang Yu, he wouldn't have let this happen. It was just two women, and he would have kept both. How could he just abandon them?

Although Yang Yu's thoughts were beastly, this was probably the best solution. As a responsible man, everyone would cover for his infidelity. Yang Yu, who had just gotten Liu Xuerao, was already planning how to deal with the other wives. Old Master Liu's story was a bloody lesson.

No matter what, Yang Yu knew he couldn't repeat Old Master Liu's mistakes. It all depended on the skills of the master, which was a huge challenge.
