"Everyone, I've called this family meeting suddenly to announce something significant."

At this moment, Du Huarong suddenly spoke loudly, walking slowly through the crowd, her head held high and full of arrogance.

Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, she seemed just like a leader among chickens, lacking even a hint of Su Yanyu's queenly aura!

"Auntie, today's the day of Grandpa's funeral. Speak quickly; if you delay the funeral, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!" Cao Yanmei said lightly.

A cold glint flashed in Du Huarong's eyes, and she secretly cursed Yanyu a little bitch, daring to compete with her. You'll cry later!

Then, Du Huarong showed a cold smile on her face and said, "I've found the will left by the old man!"

While speaking, Du Huarong looked around the crowd with disdain, as if looking at a bunch of pathetic insects, very arrogant!

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly shocked!

In the aristocratic family, a will symbolizes countless wealth, enough money for someone to lead a lavish lifestyle forever without necessarily being able to spend it all!

However, Lin Fan remained calm, watching Du Huarong's grand performance with amusement in his eyes.

Cao Yanmei's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart, "Aunt, since you've found the will, please show it to us all."

"Hehe, since Yanmei is so eager to know, I'll grant your wish. Lawyer Li, take out the old man's will and read it aloud to them!" Du Huarong said with smug confidence.

"Yes, Madam!"

Li Minsheng dared not hesitate, quickly retrieving a folder from his briefcase, opening it, and taking out a sheet of white paper, it was indeed the will!

Upon witnessing this, Cao Yanmei sensed something strange, her sharp gaze immediately fixed on Lawyer Li, she asked sternly, "Lawyer Li, are you sure this is the will Grandpa made?"

As expected, seeing Cao Yanmei's sharp eyes, a hint of panic immediately flashed in Li Minsheng's eyes.

It was unmistakably a fake will fabricated by Du Huarong.

"Cao Yanmei, do you not even trust the old man's exclusive lawyer? By questioning Lawyer Li, you are doubting the old man's character. Cao Yanmei, what are your intentions? The old man just passed away, and you already want to become the master of the Cao family?"

Du Huarong, worried that Li Minsheng might reveal something, shouted sternly.

"Hehe, Aunt, I'm merely asking, why are you so anxious?" Cao Yanmei smiled faintly.

Du Huarong was momentarily stunned, internally scolding herself for being too impatient, underestimating Cao Yanmei's shrewdness, hurriedly steadied herself, glancing coldly at Cao Yanmei, silently vowing to deal with her once she took control of the Cao family!

"Lawyer Li, read the will out loud." Du Huarong shouted.

"A while ago, Elder Cao came to see me. Knowing he didn't have long, he ensured this will was established. Now that he has passed, I feel it necessary to reveal the contents of the will!"

Li Minsheng took a breath and immediately declared, "First clause: Miss Nalan Suqin must return the 20% share she controls. The Cao family is willing to buy it back at one million per share, and Miss Nalan Suqin, being an illegitimate child, must sever all ties, which brings disgrace to the Cao family!"

The moment this was said, Cao Yanmei and Cao Qinghua's expressions changed drastically.

Nalan Suqin's face instantly froze; after just being recognized as part of the family yesterday, today's shock was like a bolt from the blue striking her.

Nalan Suqin felt her mind go blank, staggering towards the ground, luckily Lin Fan acted swiftly, catching her waist and stabilizing her.

Li Minsheng continued, "Second clause: Since Miss Cao Yanmei is a girl, she will eventually marry; the 10% share she holds must be returned to the Cao family on her wedding day."

"Third clause: Young Master Cao Yuan, as a male and the future hope of the Cao family, will receive a 30% share and replace Miss Cao Yanmei as the president of the Hongwu Group, controlling the Cao family's business!"

"Fourth clause: Due to previous disgraceful conduct, Second Young Master Cao Qinghua will not receive any shares and will be deprived of his position in the Cao Group."

"Fifth clause: As the eldest son of the Cao family, First Young Master Cao Qinghai will receive the remaining 60% share and assume the position of patriarch, managing all affairs of the Cao family, given the right to impose any punishment on anyone who dares defy him!"

...

Silence~

At this moment, the hall plunged into a deathly silence!

Some were astonished, some were shocked, and others were excited!

Cao Yuan trembled with excitement after hearing the will, secretly thinking the old man finally did something satisfactory.

Cao Yuan eyed Cao Yanmei coldly and smirked, "Cousin, I hope you clear your office soon. For the future of the Cao family, I need to start working at the group quickly, and dear cousin, from now on, when you see me, you will call me 'President Cao,' understand? Haha!"

Cao Yuan laughed excitedly, infinitely arrogant.

"Impossible! How could the old man make such a will? I don't believe it." Cao Qinghua said in panic.

"Second Brother, the things you did back then embarrassed our Cao family. You still have the face to ask for shares? It's a pipe dream! Hmph, if you behave well henceforth, I might let you remain at the Cao family to eat and wait for death, or else... don't blame me for kicking you out of the family!"

Cao Qinghai glanced at Cao Qinghua disdainfully, speaking coldly.

Upon hearing this, fear immediately appeared on Cao Qinghua's face, too afraid to protest!

"If no one has any objections, the will shall be executed immediately." Lawyer Li said, while putting away the will.

Objections? Lawyer Li was just saying casually; who would dare oppose Cao Zhong's will? Unless he doesn't care about his life!

But...

"I object!"

Lin Fan's shout suddenly came!

Instinctively, everyone's gaze fixated on Lin Fan, Cao Qinghai and others' faces turned sinister!

"What gives you the nerve to interfere in our Cao family affairs, huh? Don't assume that our family tolerates you out of fear." Cao Qinghua yelled angrily.

"Damn! Daring to be arrogant in my Cao family, come, beat this boy crippled and throw him out!"

Cao Yuan's eyes flushed red, ready to retaliate against Lin Fan, immediately shouted furiously.

However, Lin Fan didn't even glance at Cao Qinghua and Cao Yuan, leisurely lighting a cigarette and putting it in his mouth, as if they were mere air in front of him.

"Lin Fan, don't mess around."

Cao Yanmei shook her head at Lin Fan, even though she knew the will was likely fake, with Cao Zhong's exclusive lawyer and a stamped will, she had no grounds to refute it, a self-mocking smile gracing her lips, seemingly resigning herself to fate!

But Lin Fan was unwilling to resign!

"I suspect this will is fake!" Lin Fan stated calmly.

"Hell! Who the hell are you? You say it's fake, it's fake? What's your evidence?"

"You disrespectful kid, keep spouting nonsense, and don't blame our family for being unkind!"

Cao Qinghai and Cao Yuan said with gloomy faces.

Lin Fan leisurely took a drag of his smoke, exhaling the smoke through his nose, his eyes playfully watching Cao Qinghai and Cao Yuan as if seeing two clowns escaped from the circus.

"Stubborn fools always need a coffin before they shed tears!"

Lin Fan chuckled coldly, casually clapping his hands twice, producing crisp "pop" sounds!

Click~

The tightly shut door was immediately pushed open!

Song Monong and Song Moyu sisters walked into the villa, followed by a man and a woman, a secretary and an obstetrician-gynecologist, then surprisingly, several policemen in uniform!
