Chapter 574 Deserved
Han Pei started to make trouble just after the funeral of Mr. Xie, and some relatives had not left the old house yet.
She cried and screamed in front of the old man's study, saying that the old man's property had long made up for the deficit of the Xie family's bankruptcy. Now that the old man was gone, the second branch would be left with nothing.
Han Pei made a scene without caring about her face, and Xie Yu fanned the flames on the side. No matter how Xie Jianning and Uncle Zhong persuaded her, it was useless.
Wen Lan always kept a distance from the affairs of the Xie family. When she heard Han Pei crying and making a scene at the door of the study in the main building, she hid outside the house and chatted with Zhou Qiao.
Since Wen Lan returned to Jiangcheng, Zhou Qiao would come to the Xie family's old house to help every day. There were not many people that Wen Lan could trust, so many things that were inconvenient for others to do were handed over to Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao was efficient and relaxed, which saved Wen Lan a lot of worries.
Zhou Qiao said that if she were Wen Lan, she would use the momentum of the mistress of the house to drive Han Pei out.
Wen Lan shook her head resolutely, "Although I have lived with Xie Yansheng for more than 20 years and have three children, I don't want to care about anything in the Xie family."
"Han Pei is throwing tantrums and being unreasonable. You should use unreasonable means to counter her. It's too cheap to let Xie Yansheng, a grown man, argue with Han Pei in front of your relatives!" Zhou Qiao continued to lobby.
Wen Lan was stubborn and refused to intervene no matter what Zhou Qiao said.
It was not until an ambulance came roaring that Wen Lan realized something was wrong and ran into the house quickly.
The door of the study was already full of people. Han Pei was lying on the ground with a pale face. Jian Ning was doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation for her.
Nuan Nuan's three siblings and Xiaotong were helping nearby. Xie Yu's two daughters were still young and had never seen such a scene. They were so scared that they cried loudly.
The nannies were busy bringing water, looking for quick-acting heart pills, and bringing cushions and quilts. When the 120 emergency personnel arrived, the whole main building was in chaos.
Everyone rushed to send Han Pei to the ambulance, and Nuan Nuan and the other two got on the ambulance with Jian Ning.
As a son, Xie Yu did not care about Han Pei's life or death, but once again proposed to Xie Yansheng to divide the old man's calligraphy and antiques into two immediately.
Xie Yansheng was annoyed by Han Pei's noise, and naturally he would not give Xie Yu a good face, "The old man valued the second house the most when he was alive. Now that his body is still warm, you have the idea of dividing the family property. Do you live up to your conscience! I will ask someone to add another lock on the study and let Uncle Zhong look at the old man's relics in person! I want to see who dares to calculate the things in the study!"
Before the Xie family went bankrupt, Xie Yu dared to sneer at Xie Yansheng, but after the bankruptcy, he began to behave himself.
Over the years, Xie Yu has also thought about opening up a new way in the business world, but every time he invested a sum of money, he would never get it back. Fortunately, the old man covered him, otherwise he would have been heavily in debt.
The idea of dividing the old man's antiques and calligraphy after the funeral was Xie Yu's idea. He didn't dare to say anything because of Xie Yansheng's authority, so he instigated Han Pei and Xie Yansheng to make a fuss.
"Brother, the second house is not what it used to be. My mother and my wife can't do anything except spend money. I have invested a lot of money over the years, but almost none of it can make a profit. I still have two daughters to support. The tuition fees for the aristocratic school and various tutoring fees are at least 100,000 yuan a month."
Xie Yu tried to fight for his own interests, "The old man's relics will be divided sooner or later. If you don't have any selfishness, what's the difference between dividing it this year and next year?"
Xie Yansheng was about to start a fight, but Wen Lan, who had been standing aside for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled Xie Yansheng's arm and persuaded him, "Since the second brother wants to divide it, then divide it. If we don't divide it today, I'm afraid that the second brother and Aunt Pei will not be willing to chase us to Beijing."
Xie Yansheng's heart softened when he saw Wen Lan say this.
He knew the character of Han Pei and Xie Yu, and they valued money the most. As long as the money was in place, everything would be fine. If the money was not in place, even the emperor would not listen to a word!
"Brother, please rest assured. Our second branch only wants the share we deserve." Xie Yu saw that Xie Yansheng's mind was active, and hurriedly explained.
"Deserved? How much did the old man give you overtly or covertly before Xie went bankrupt? Three listed companies gave you two of the most profitable ones, but I got a half-dead one. After Xie went bankrupt, you invested everywhere. Who gave you the money for the investment?" Xie Yansheng sneered, "Ayu, tell me, how should the old man's things be divided? Which ones are yours and which ones are mine?"
Xie Yu was hit in the soft spot, and he sighed guiltily, "Brother, I have been unlucky these years, and it is indeed the old man who has been giving me subsidies. You are now a top boss in the business world, so don't be too serious with me."
"If you want to be serious with you, you will never get a penny from the old man in these 20 years." Xie Yansheng's voice was clear, "The old man's relics can be divided now, but I also have a bottom line and standards. If you agree, I will ask Uncle Zhong to invite professional lawyers and notaries to come immediately."
"There are only my brother and I in the Xie family. Shouldn't it be divided into two?" Xie Yu became inexplicably nervous.
Xie Yansheng asked mockingly, "Is Jian Ning not a member of the Xie family?"
"So, big brother is still thinking about Jian Ning!" Xie Yu snorted meaningfully, "The old man took good care of Jian Ning and Xiao Tong when he was alive. I know that two properties were transferred to them. I originally wanted to divide the old man's antiques and calligraphy into three parts, one for big brother, one for me and one for my mother. Since big brother said to include Jian Ning, then we should divide it into four parts."
"The old man's relics are divided into four parts, the second house takes three parts, and the first house only has one part--" Xie Yansheng sighed, "Ayu, you are more calculating than your mother."
"Big brother's net worth is now one of the best on the rich list. You won't be so picky with me, right?" Xie Yu smiled shyly and tried to make peace with Xie Yansheng.
"No, I am very picky about these things." Xie Yansheng said solemnly, "You know better than me how much money the old man gave to the second wife privately when he was alive. I can turn a blind eye and not pursue it. But the old man's relics should either be divided into two or sealed in the study of the old house, so that everyone can keep them as a memory."
"Then divide them into two!" Xie Yu knew he was in the wrong and compromised immediately.
The old man has two children, and it is fair to divide them equally.
Xie Yu has taken a lot of money from the old man over the years. Xie Yansheng's not pursuing the matter does not mean that he took it reasonably. If he really angered Xie Yansheng, he would have no chance of getting those antiques and calligraphy and paintings!
It's good enough to keep the current benefits.
Xie Yansheng's eyes were sharp, "After dividing it into two, I will let a professional organization evaluate the things that the second house got, and then divide it into three equal parts. I don't care about yours and Aunt Pei's, but Jian Ning's share must be assigned to Jian Ning's name."
"Jian Ning is from the second house. As for how to divide the things that belong to the second house, I won't bother you, big brother." Xie Yu pulled a hint of impatience and coldness at the corner of his lips.
