Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 398 Arrogant Stepmother


"Aunt Zhang, my dad just passed away, do we really have to do this?" Han Xuewei felt truly helpless at this moment. Although she didn't have a good relationship with Zhang Liujuan, after all, Zhang Liujuan had helped her father a great deal. So if there was even the slightest hope, Han Xuewei wouldn't really want to completely fall out with Zhang Liujuan!

Zhang Liujuan seemed to not understand Han Xuewei's thoughts at all. Instead, hearing Han Xuewei's words, she thought Han Xuewei was afraid of her and let out a cold laugh. Then, with a stretch of her hand, the man with glasses promptly handed a document to Zhang Liujuan!

Zhang Liujuan looked at Han Xuewei with a smug and sly cold smile, saying to Han Xuewei, "This is the agreement your father signed before his death, giving eighteen percent of Jianjun Real Estate's shares to me. It's all written very clearly, you can read it first!"

Han Xuewei was suddenly shocked upon hearing Zhang Liujuan's words because she had never heard from her father about giving any shares of Jianjun Real Estate to Zhang Liujuan, let alone eighteen percent—which is nearly a fifth of the shares!

Han Xuewei couldn't believe it, so she immediately took the agreement and examined it carefully!

Just then, a series of crackling sounds and screams came from the restroom!

Zhang Liujuan believed these were the sounds of her underlings beating Ye Xiao, and the screams must undoubtedly be from Ye Xiao, so she grew even more complacent!

But Han Xuewei was initially surprised, yet thinking about what happened last night, her confidence in Ye Xiao soared, so she started to seriously study the contract!

The contract wasn't many pages, so Han Xuewei quickly finished reading it!

However, once the contract was read, Han Xuewei's face also darkened immediately!

What Zhang Liujuan had said was true, and the contract was real too. It indeed bore her father's signature and the chairman's seal!

"How about it?" Zhang Liujuan saw Han Xuewei's face change and immediately got more excited, smilingly saying to Han Xuewei!

Han Xuewei, feeling tired and helpless, nodded and said, "Yes... it's real!"

"Of course, it's real!" Zhang Liujuan laughed, "So now, only eighty-two percent of Jianjun Real Estate's shares are left to be distributed. I won't wrong you—we can split it evenly, forty-one percent each!"

Zhang Liujuan seemed to be very generous, but Han Xuewei knew that although Zhang Liujuan appeared to get the same percentage of shares as herself, forty-one percent, Zhang Liujuan had an additional eighteen percent that was already given to her. This added up to fifty-nine percent, giving her absolute control. In the future at Jianjun Real Estate, even though Han Xuewei would be the second-largest shareholder, she would still have to do whatever Zhang Liujuan said!

"As my father's only daughter, I should be the primary heir!" Han Xuewei immediately said sternly looking at Zhang Liujuan!

But at this time, Zhang Liujuan stopped talking, and the man with glasses immediately looked at Han Xuewei with a smile, saying, "Miss Han, you are correct, but according to national law, the primary heirs are the spouse, parents, and children. All three categories are primary heirs. In situations where the care provided to the deceased before their illness or disaster is similar, the deceased's estate should be distributed equitably. Although Miss Han is a primary heir, Miss Zhang, as the legal spouse of the deceased Mr. Han, is naturally also a primary heir. Therefore, the rights that Miss Han enjoys, Miss Zhang also enjoys. Hence, Miss Han can only gain forty-one percent of the shares; you cannot have more."

Listening to the man with glasses, Han Xuewei finally understood who he was, a lawyer brought by Zhang Liujuan. Moreover, when Zhang Liujuan had arrived, she had brought thugs with her—it was clear Zhang Liujuan had made all the preparations!

As the general manager of Jianjun Real Estate, Han Xuewei naturally understood the law as well and knew that what the man with glasses had said was true, and she fell silent!

Han Xuewei had always thought that Zhang Liujuan would come to her making a scene like a shrew, but now it seemed that she was the one who had been too clever by half. The smartest person was clearly Zhang Liujuan!

The sly cold smile on Zhang Liujuan's face at this moment disgusted Han Xuewei greatly. But as much as she detested her, the matter at hand still had to be dealt with!

Seeing Han Xuewei's trouble expression, Zhang Liujuan immediately looked at her with a beaming smile, saying, "Weiwei, Aunt Zhang won't bully you. Don't you want to own the whole of Jianjun Real Estate? I can grant you that!"

Han Xuewei immediately looked up at Zhang Liujuan, not knowing what trick Zhang Liujuan was planning to play at this moment, but Han Xuewei really didn't want Jianjun Real Estate to fall into Zhang Liujuan's hands!

"What do you want?" Han Xuewei became very guarded as she looked at Zhang Liujuan, clearly hostile and wary, because she simply did not know what trick Zhang Liujuan might pull next!

As expected, seeing Han Xuewei's somewhat tense expression, Zhang Liujuan laughed, saying, "It's simple—if you can pay me the amount corresponding to my fifty-nine percent of shares, I'll give up Jianjun Real Estate!"

```

What—

```

Han Xuewei, upon hearing Zhang Liujuan's words, was even more shocked. It was true that Zhang Liujuan had afforded Han Xuewei a chance to gain full ownership of the Jianjun Real Estate shares, but at present, Jianjun Real Estate was valued at around eighty million Yuan Country Coins, meaning that fifty-nine percent of the shares would be close to fifty million Yuan Country Coins!

Now, let alone producing fifty million, Han Xuewei would find it difficult even to come up with ten million. Therefore, although Zhang Liujuan verbally presented it as an opportunity for Han Xuewei, how could she not realize that Zhang Liujuan was deliberately making things difficult for her!

Han Xuewei fell into silence once again!

Zhang Liujuan spoke up again, "Lawyer Bai, calculate for us, how much does my fifty-nine percent of shares total up to?"

Lawyer Bai was the man with the glasses. Hearing Zhang Liujuan's words, he chuckled inwardly as the calculation had been prepared in advance. Thus, without hesitation, he responded, "Miss Zhang, at the present, Jianjun Real Estate is worth approximately eighty-five million Yuan Country Coins. Let us just provisionally round it to eighty-five million, so fifty-nine percent would be fifty million, one hundred and fifty thousand Yuan Country Coins!"

"Ah, that's quite a substantial sum!" Zhang Liujuan exclaimed with feigned surprise, but how could Han Xuewei not see that Zhang Liujuan was obviously pretending!

Zhang Liujuan continued, smiling at Han Xuewei, "Weiwei, Aunt Zhang said I wouldn't bully you, and I won't. So here's what, I'll forget about the fractional amount. If you can come up with fifty million for me, I'll transfer all the shares to you!"

What generous terms Zhang Liujuan offered! Willingly discarding the fifteen million as if it were nothing, but asking Han Xuewei to come up with the fifty million was an impossibility!

Han Xuewei's mind raced, as she truly couldn't figure out a way to procure fifty million.

"I... I can't come up with it!" Han Xuewei ultimately gave up!

Upon hearing Han Xuewei's words, a triumphant smile spread across Zhang Liujuan's face. However, just at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the direction of the restroom!

"You can come up with it!"

After the voice carried over, both Zhang Liujuan and Han Xuewei jumped in surprise, immediately turning to look at the speaker. They saw Ye Xiao walk out of the restroom with a grin, his body showing none of the pain Zhang Liujuan had anticipated; instead, he seemed quite normal, as though he'd just casually used the restroom and stepped back out!

"You... you..." Zhang Liujuan stuttered, repeating 'you' twice, yet she didn't continue her sentence!

Zhang Liujuan didn't speak, but Ye Xiao spoke up once more!

"You're probably thinking, 'Ah, how come you didn't get beaten to death in there? How can you still come hopping out alive and kicking?'" Ye Xiao laughed as he spoke.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zhang Liujuan's face was full of surprise because what Ye Xiao said was exactly what she had been thinking. She truly did want to know what was going on!

Zhang Liujuan was curious, yet Ye Xiao had no patience to explain. His hearing was exceptionally keen, so he had clearly heard the conversation between Zhang Liujuan and Han Xuewei. He knew Zhang Liujuan was definitively cornering Han Xuewei, aware that it was impossible for Han Xuewei to come up with such an amount. Although Jianjun Real Estate was estimated to be worth eighty-five million, if someone were asked to produce eighty-five million to purchase Jianjun Real Estate, he doubted there would be many buyers. Hence, Zhang Liujuan's price was too high!

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Don't be surprised that I could walk out of the restroom just fine, I just went to take a leak. Besides, weren't we discussing the allocation of shares? Why stop talking now?"

Zhang Liujuan shot Ye Xiao a cold glance, her previous surprise quickly fading. She was in a dominant position with Han Xuewei; what did she have to fear?

Looking at Ye Xiao, Zhang Liujuan said, "It seems you've heard our conversation just now. Since you say Han Xuewei can come up with it, I'm quite curious to see how she's going to manage!"

During Zhang Liujuan's speech, Han Xuewei also looked toward Ye Xiao, because she, too, couldn't fathom how she could possibly come up with such a significant sum. After all, it was about real, tangible money, not just words!

Ye Xiao turned to Zhang Liujuan and said with a smile, "I suppose what you want most is the fifty million. After all, with your shares, if you tried to sell them on the open market, you'd struggle to get four million, let alone five."

Zhang Liujuan immediately retorted coldly, "That's none of your concern. If you want them, show the money. If not, huh, I'll just be the majority shareholder of Jianjun Real Estate, and all decisions regarding the company will have to go through me!"
