Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Have You Asked Me?_1

Li Fengguan gave a brief description of the event, and Shen Bing listened with both shock and anger.

”Little sister, if you are short of money, I’ll get it for you! Why do you have to belittle yourself like this? What’s the point?”

The Old Madam Shen spoke and rose to leave, intending to have her sons and daughters fetch the money.

Li Fengguan caught her hand and shook her head with an expression of having come to terms with the situation.

”Forget it, older sister. Let the Bai Family Members resolve Bai Family’s matters.”

Shen Bing saw the tiredness on Li Fengguan’s face and felt a sudden pang of heartache, staying quiet. At their age, they should have been enjoying the bliss of family life, yet they were left frazzled by the younger generation.

Poor little sister of mine!

Shen Bing felt somewhat sorrowful.

Outside, more and more Bai Family Members were arriving, with the younger generation joining in succession.

In no time, three to four dozen people were gathered together.

Fortunately, Li Fengguan’s apartment was a three-bedroom of 180 square meters, chosen specifically with full family gatherings in mind. The living room was selected for its particularly large size. After renovation, it was turned into a two-bedroom by removing one of the secondary bedrooms to enlarge both the living room and kitchen, which was more than enough.

In the living room, Bai Ran shone brightly among the younger members of the Bai Family.

She, together with Li Qiuyun and Bai Mingzhi’s wife, hosted the guests both inside and out, with great efficiency.

As soon as it struck seven o’clock, the chefs from the reserved hotel arrived with their team, carrying the prepared semi-finished ingredients. The tables and chairs were also delivered by someone else shortly after.

Having chefs from the hotel come over and provide tables and chairs was an expensive service that required advanced booking. For last-minute arrangements like this, only regular customers could get their requests fulfilled even with an extra fee, otherwise, the hotel wouldn’t accept it.

Once the tables and chairs were set up, each table was adorned with four plates of dried fruits and four plates of snacks, all of the highest quality.

The secondary bedroom had been cleared out to place one table, and Li Fengguan and Shen Bing were invited out from the master bedroom to join the table.

Bai Xiaosheng and Yang Qian’er were also arranged to sit there to accompany them.

Bai Ran counted the number of people and realized that only Bai Fei had not arrived yet.

”Third Aunt, why hasn’t Brother Bai Fei arrived yet?” Bai Ran even made a special inquiry.

”Don’t worry, I’ll hurry him along. He might arrive soon,” said the Third Aunt with a smile beaming across her face.

Today was a day of great celebration for their family.

The house would represent a large share of ownership for them, and according to her son’s prediction, the money invested this year would at least double by the next year—a truly worthwhile investment!

Only after the cold dishes were laid out on the tables did Bai Fei arrive leisurely with a female assistant.

Seeing the Yang Family members there, Bai Fei was somewhat surprised but didn’t show much reaction, handling the situation with poise.

”No wonder Brother Bai Fei became a manager earning twenty thousand a month in just a few short years. His ability to interact with others is impressive!” Bai Ran thought highly to herself, quickly bringing Bai Fei and his assistant to the secondary bedroom.

Inside, she had specially reserved a seat for Bai Fei.

With everyone present, the banquet officially began. One hot dish after another was brought out, and everyone enjoyed raising their glasses and toasting to one another.

Although it wasn’t Li Fengguan’s birthday today, the younger ones still said plenty of auspicious words, and the old lady gradually grew happier.

The feast went on for an hour or so before the tables and chairs were removed. The chefs tidied up their utensils and even took the trash with them when they left.

Soon after, Li Fengguan and Shen Bing, both old ladies, were invited out by Bai Mingzhi.

A table was placed in the center of the living room, with the two old ladies at the head, surrounded by everyone else. Those who couldn’t find a seat made their way to the sofas.

Bai Mingzhi, the third uncle, took out a thick stack of printed contracts.

Bai Fei looked on with a smile.

The Yang Family members didn’t understand what was going on, and even some Bai Family members, like Bai Ran, had no idea about the proceedings.

However, that didn’t matter. The thick stack of contract duplicates in the hands of Bai Mingzhi came with detailed annotations. Once distributed, everyone could understand clearly.

The lively living room suddenly fell silent.

People’s expressions varied as they looked over the ”Property and Equity Division Agreement”—shock, confusion, anger, and joy were all present.

Bai Ran, on the other hand, was somewhat dumbfounded.

According to the content of the agreement, Li Fengguan would relinquish the apartment to her four sons who would then divide it into shares. Each branch of the family would give money to Bai Mingyuan, the fourth uncle, to purchase the corresponding shares.

In conclusion, Bai Fei was the initiator and drafter of the contract.

Bai Ran was shocked as he looked at Bai Fei, unable to suppress a term that sprang to mind—profiteering during a disaster!

The cousin Bai Fei he had always respected, actually wouldn’t take money outright to bail out Bai Shuanglei but staged this whole scene, still thinking about... profit! At a time like this!

And what was to be divided was their grandmother’s house!

Unbelievable...

Shameless!

Bai Ran shivered with rage, and on seeing Bai Fei again, he felt disgusted to have such a cousin.

”Everyone, take a good look, and if you have any questions, you can ask me; I have my legal assistant with me,” said Bai Fei with a professional smile on his face.

This smile, which had once been inspiring and uplifting to Bai Ran, now made her want to throw up.

The Yang Family members watched with amused gazes, silently observing.

”The document you’re looking at has annotations under the key terms, and the formal version is in my hands; it’s just missing some annotations. If anyone is uncertain, they are welcome to come and check,” said Bai Fei, smiling as he raised the formal agreement in his hand.

No one spoke a word, and Bai Xiaosheng’s father, Bai Minghang, had a terrifyingly dark expression. He attempted to stand up several times, only to be held back by his wife who stood behind him, pressing down on his shoulders.

After all, this matter ultimately depended on what Old Madam Shen thought. If the Old Madam was not happy, no one could force her, and if she agreed, could his family oppose the other three families alone?

Moreover, it seemed like Bai Xiaosheng’s eldest uncle and his wife were quite tempted, and Bai Mingzhi’s wife even more so in a hurry. As for Bai Mingyuan and his spouse...

Did they even have room to oppose?

Li Qiuyun sighed helplessly.

Bai Xiaosheng sat leisurely next to his grandmother, Li Fengguan, holding a cup of tea in his hand, intently blowing on the tea leaves.

He hadn’t even touched the contract before him.

Yang Qian’er, sitting by her own grandmother’s side, couldn’t help but steal glances at him.

Although she had little contact with Bai Xiaosheng, she knew that this guy was definitely not a good sort, and he showed exceptional respect towards Li Fengguan.

Currently, with that Bai Fei overstepping his bounds, Yang Qian’er didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng would remain indifferent.

But, what would you do about this situation!

Yang Qian’er browsed the annotations in the agreement, aware of the bulk of the matter and knowing that the Bai Family’s Mingyuan was in urgent need of money to save his life.

In matters of money shortages, no tricks could make up for it.

It had to be real silver!

I still have some savings, and as long as Bai Xiaosheng asks, I can take them out first for him to use.

Yang Qian’er couldn’t help but think to herself.

While Yang Qian’er looked at Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Fei couldn’t help watching her, having noticed the stunning beauty since dinner and was surprised to find she was the woman introduced to that loser Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng, huh? Having spent so many years out there, what had he become—afraid to even come home, and surely no match for him, Bai Fei!

With an annual salary of two hundred thousand, Bai Fei was the outstanding young generation of the Bai Family, and Bai Xiaosheng was nothing but crap! Yet someone had introduced him to such a beautiful woman!

Bai Fei looked down on Bai Xiaosheng from the bottom of his heart, and during the meal at the same table, he had not given Bai Xiaosheng a single glance.

”Nobody objects, right?” Bai Fei regained his composure and asked with a smile.

No one answered him.

Bai Fei passed the formal contract in front of Li Fengguan, saying with a smile, ”Then, Grandma, please sign your name on it.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Fengguan silently picked up the contract.

Before she could open it, a hand reached out beside her and took the contract.

”Bai Xiaosheng?” Bai Fei, who had been full of anticipation, just waiting for Li Fengguan to sign, was caught off-guard by this sudden complication.

”What are you doing!” Bai Fei frowned.

Bai Xiaosheng gave him a radiant smile, and under the watchful eyes of all, gently tore the contract in half!

Everyone was stunned.

”Did you ask me, Bai Xiaosheng, before getting Grandma to sign this contract to sell the house?”
