  an Xun was standing not far away and she had heard Tang Xun’s words.

  After the Old Master left, everyone was sad and heavy-hearted. Tang Mo must have felt the worst. After being slapped by Tang Xun, he was silent. His face was pale and his lips were pursed tightly. It was obvious that

  he was extremely sad.

  But at this time, his father was only blaming him and his attitude toward illegitimate children was much better than his.

  Even an outsider like her felt uncomfortable seeing such favoritism!

  Tang Mo participated in the Old Master’s funeral as the eldest son and eldest grandson.

  Everyone was extremely busy.

  Three days later, the Old Master’s memorial service was held and Tang Xun brought Liu Xiu and Tang Xu over.

  Despite Mrs Tang’s objections, Tang Xu treated the guests who came to pay their respects as his second grandson.

  From beginning to end, Tang Mo did not say anything.

  an Xun had been accompanying Tang Mo as his granddaughter-in-law.

  She could feel his sadness, suppression and heaviness.

  After the Old Master was cremated and buried, Tang Mo stayed in front of his tombstone for a long time.

  When he returned home that night, he had a fever.

  After taking the fever medicine, he did not return to the master bedroom but went to the Old Master’s room.

  Mrs Tang was worried about him and wanted to go in to see him, but he chased her out.

  The atmosphere at home was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

  The next day, the Old Master’s lawyer came. At the same time, Tang Xun, Liu Xiu, Tang Xu, and the second branch’s family came.

  The lawyer was here to announce the Old Master’s will.

  When Mrs Tang saw Liu Xiu and her son coming over, her expression darkened. “Tang Xun, Dad said before he died that even if he’s gone, he won’t let the vixen and illegitimate son come. Do you want Dad to die with

  regrets?”


  Liu Xiu held Tang Xun’s arm, her eyes filled with tears. “Madam, when Old Master was still alive, he had already asked our Xu’er to work in the company. It means that he has slowly accepted our existence. In the end,

  our Xwrer is the only capable junior in the Tang family now.”


  Mrs Tang was furious. “What do you mean? A shameless mistress is so arrogant. Do you believe that I’ll tear your mouth apart…”


  Before Mrs Tang could finish, Tang Xun interrupted her angrily. “Enough! What Xiuxiu said might not be wrong. In the future, Tang Corporation will still have to rely on Xu’er and that bastard Tang Mo. The company

  will close down sooner or later!”


  Tang Xun looked around and did not see Tang Mo. “Where is he? Why isn’t he here when it’s important?”


  an Xun glanced at the Old Master’s room. Tang Mo was still there.

  The person who was most sad about Old Master’s death should be Tang Mo. However, other than Madam Tang, no one cared about his feelings.

  As a father, Tang Xun would only scold and criticize him, giving all his warmth and concern to the woman and illegitimate son outside.

  In front of the lawyer and the second branch, he was still openly agreeing with the words of the woman outside. He felt that his son was flawed and could not be relied on in the future.

  “Dad, if Tang Mo can’t be counted on, how can he sit firmly in the position of the president of Tang Corporation and get the trust and support of the shareholders? How can he make Tang Corporation’s performance

  prosper? You’re biased toward outsiders and can’t tell right from wrong. No wonder Grandpa only let Tang Mo take over his position when he was alive!”


  Nan Xun’s words were rather offensive, but she really could not stand Tang Xun’s expression of only protecting his illegitimate son and not caring about his legitimate son.

  “Why are you interrupting when the elders are talking?” Liu Xiu looked at Nan Xun unhappily. “I heard that you were abandoned by your biological mother at a young age. It’s no wonder youre so ill-mannered!”


  Nan Xun replied without a change in expression, “It’s not up to a person to say whether I have manners or not. My mother-in-law thinks that it’s enough that I have manners…”


  “Shut up!” Tang Xun shouted.

  There was a moment of silence.

  Tang Xun glanced at Nan Xun unhappily and said to the lawyer, “Forget about Tang Mo. Announce the Old Master’s will!”


  The lawyer looked at the Tang family, who were arguing the moment the Old Master left, and sighed silently in his heart.

  He took the sealed document from his assistant. “The Old Master has 60% of the Tang Corporation’s shares. The shares are divided as follows: 20% for the eldest grandson, Tang Mo, 10% for the eldest daughter-in-law,

  10% for the eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law, Nan Xun, 15% for the eldest son, Tang Xun, and 5% for Tang Xu. The second branch is not interested in running the company and is divided into six properties, the

  eastern suburbs vineyard…”


  Tang Xun interrupted the lawyer. “Is there something wrong with this will? As the eldest son, why do I only have 15% of shares? And this Miss Nan, she got 10% of shares less than a year after marrying into the Tang

  family?”


  Liu Xiu nodded. “Yes, and our Xu’er. When Old Master was still alive, he agreed to let him work at Tang Corporation. Why did you only give him 5% of the shares?”


  The lawyer said with a serious expression, “This will is not fake. I’m just following the Old Master’s instructions.”


  Liu Xiu said, “The doctor said that Old Master had been agitated when he passed away. This might be related to Tang Mo’s gossip. In other words, Tang Mo indirectly killed Old Master. According to the law, the

  murderer can’t inherit the inheritance, right?”


  Mrs Tang was furious. “Liu Xiu, in order to get the assets for your son, you actually framed Old Master’s eldest grandson as the person who murdered him. Are you unable to hide your true colors?”


  The lawyer raised his hand to interrupt the Tang family. “There’s no mistake about the will. Old Master arranged it like this. It has a legal effect. As for the rest, it’s the Tang family’s own business.”


  After the lawyer finished reading, he left with his assistant.

  The old residence only regained its silence in the evening.

  Mrs Tang sat on the sofa, feeling exhausted.

  Nan Xun poured a glass of milk for Mrs Tang. “Mom, Grandpa’s arrangement is beneficial to Tang Mo. As for the shares Grandpa left for me, I will transfer them to Tang Mo.”


  Mrs Tang held Nan Xun’s hand. “Old Master left it for you. Just accept it. We’re family. Mom believes you.”


  The moment Mrs Tang finished speaking, the door to the Old Master’s room opened.

  Tang Mo walked out of the room.

  In just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight. The flirtatious look in his eyes seemed to have disappeared and he had become more mature.

  He walked to the living room and glanced at Mrs Tang and Nan Xun, his slender eyes landing on Nan Xun. “Go upstairs. I have something to say to you.”


  Mrs Tang nodded at Nan Xun. “Go up and comfort him. He must feel terrible that Old Master has left.”


  Nan Xun followed Tang Mo upstairs.

  Tang Mo entered the study and Nan Xun was stunned for a moment before she followed him in.

  Tang Mo gestured for Nan Xun to sit down, looking a little cold. After Nan Xun sat down, he said hoarsely, “Do you know why Grandpa gave you 10% of the shares?”.
