Chapter 340: Inheritance Dispute

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao An looked around the room, and everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation. She was afraid that her delay would cause the old man to be pestered by his children and grandchildren. She simply said, “He’s already come to a conclusion. When the lawyer comes out later, the announcement will be made.”
Everyone rubbed their hands together in anticipation of the distribution of the inheritance.
The wait was a little long, but no one left.
Huo Xiaoran pulled Qiao An into the courtyard and discussed softly with her. “An’an, why do you look so pale?”
Qiao An looked at him guiltily. “Brother Xiaoran, I’m sorry. I didn’t stick to your request. I fought for the Li family’s assets.”
Huo Xiaoran was stunned.
He smiled weakly. “I forgot. You have to eat human food too. How can you accept such an unfair treatment?”
“It’s not like that.” Qiao An was a little angry because Huo Xiaoran had misunderstood her as someone who was greedy for money.
Huo Xiaoran patted her head. “An’an, I don’t blame you.”
Qiao An sighed. “It’s not that I want those assets. I really can’t not want them.”
Huo Xiaoran was puzzled. How could someone else’s gift be necessary?
He listened patiently to her explanation. “Why?”
Qiao An stared into his confused eyes and explained, “Do you know how much money the Li family has?”
Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment. “My father doesn’t know how to do business, and my brothers are good at squandering. The huge business has long been in ruins.”
Qiao An lowered her voice. “Just because your father can’t manage his own business doesn’t mean he won’t invest. How much do you know about the businesses under his name?”
Huo Xiaoran had an epiphany and smiled. “So, you had the intention to fight for it when you saw the rich assets?”
Qiao An pinched his nose in punishment and said, “Don’t look down on me. No matter how big the Li family’s family business is, it has nothing to do with me. I’m fighting for it for you. Do you know that the Li family’s assets are comparable to the Huo family’s? If you follow the old man’s wishes, 90% of the 100 billion assets will be left to the heir. Then your Angel Group will stand under a dangerous wall.”
Huo Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
He was shocked that the Li family actually had such strength under this seemingly collapsed building. He was even more shocked that Qiao An actually had such sharp strategic foresight.
Knowing that he had completely misunderstood Qiao An, he hugged her tightly and apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, An’an. I misunderstood you.”
Qiao An said, “If the old man had distributed the hundreds of billions of assets to the other families, I wouldn’t have fought for it. But he has the intention to nurture an heir. No matter who that heir is, he’s a threat to you. After all, you don’t fit in with the other families.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I know your heart. An’an, no wonder Old Master thinks highly of you. You’re really my good wife.”
Qiao An continued, “I fought for these assets so as to remove your threat. If you don’t like them, you can donate them to charity in the future. Or you can return them to the Li family. You can make the call.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Yes, you’re very thorough.”
Late in the evening, the butler wheeled the old man out of the study with the lawyer.
The grandchildren gathered and listened as the lawyer announced the old man’s will.
The old man distributed all the businesses that the Li family specialized in to the other branches, the first branch, the second branch, and the third branch. However, Li Tingting only obtained some fixed properties and a large sum of money. She did not obtain any management rights of the company.
After reading the will, Li Tingting cried aggrievedly.
“Dad, you’re not being fair,” she wailed.
“I’m also your daughter, but you didn’t give me any of the company’s shares. Aren’t you being too biased?”
Old Master Li’s face darkened. “You’re a girl. Find someone to marry. I’ll give you money, a house, and a car. At least you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you’re not good at management, you don’t have to fight with your brothers.”
Li Tingting was simple-minded. How could she know the old man’s good intentions? She cried and said angrily, “Whether I’m good at management or not is my business, I’ll admit defeat when I end up losing the shares. I can’t blame the heavens. But Dad, you’ll only make me feel mistreated.”
Old Master Li said angrily, “How dare you? If you don’t want cash, return the property to me.”
Li Tingting did not dare to push her luck.
Logically speaking, the other families should have left satisfied after obtaining benefits. However, the brothers’ expressions were solemn. Li Tingfeng finally asked the question in his heart, “Dad, why didn’t the will mention the fourth family?”
Old Master Li said, “The fourth branch doesn’t care about such a small family fortune.”
The third wife blushed.
Just as Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief that the huge fight for assets had finally come to an end, Li Tingye suddenly said sinisterly, “Dad, are these really all of the Li family’s assets?”
Qiao An’s heart skipped a beat.
Old Master Li glared at Li Tingye. “Tingye, what do you mean?”
Li Tingye said, “Dad, I heard that you invested in other industries in your early years. After so many years, the dividends must be considerable.”
Old Master Li looked at Li Tingye. “Who did you hear that from?”
Li Tingye said, “Dad is old. When the CEOs of those companies occasionally encounter trouble, they don’t dare to disturb their recuperating father, so they look for me.”
Old Master Li’s grip on the wheelchair’s railing tightened. He did not expect Li Tingye to investigate his other invisible assets behind his back, nor did he expect him to collude with those people and have the ambition to replace him.
For the first time, Master Li felt that he was old. There were many things that he could not control.
Old Master Li was silent for a long time before suddenly laughing at himself.
“That’s right. I’ve made some investments in other industries. But there’s no actual running of the business. Just dividends for the end of the year. Do you want them?”
Li Tingye said, “Dad owns 8% of Soaring Cloud’s shares. I heard that Dad is the biggest shareholder of Soaring Cloud.”
All of them were shocked.
Soaring Cloud was currently the largest tech company in the country. Its revenue was ahead of the 50 richest people in the world.
With just Old Master Li’s shares, one could become rich.
How could the descendants of the Li family give up such a huge treasure?
Old Master Li sneered. “All of you want it, but do any of you have the ability to protect this family business?”
Li Tingye said, “Are you planning to give it to Fourth Brother? Do you think Fourth Brother can definitely protect your family business?”
