The coldness in Luo Qinghan's voice was palpable. Though this was her grandmother, she had never felt a shred of grandmotherly affection from Madam Hua. In Madam Hua's eyes, Luo Qinghan was nothing, no matter what she did. She could never compare to Madam Hua's own flesh and blood, even if those children were good for nothing but eating and lazing around, understanding nothing.
She even threw tantrums at a two or three-year-old child.
How could such a Madam Hua be considered a grandmother?!
"Fine."
Luo Buyu gritted his teeth and nodded. He couldn't be bothered to persuade her anymore.
"Yes, this Luo family is indeed not under his sole command."
The gates of the Luo family villa opened, and Elder Master Luo entered with a group of people.
"Father!"
Seeing Elder Master Luo arrive, Luo Buyu, Luo Buwei, and others quickly called out.
However, Elder Master Luo merely nodded at Luo Buyu. He seemed to not hear the calls from Luo Buwei and the others.
"I'm not dead yet! You people, this Luo family, I still have the final say," Elder Master Luo's expression was clearly not good. He waved his hand, and the people behind him entered the living room, opening their briefcases and taking out documents.
"These are my shares in the Luo family, seventy percent of my holdings, along with my recently made will. Since everyone is here, I'll let you all see and hear it." Elder Master Luo, leaning on his cane, walked over step by step.
Lin Xiao had Luo Qinghan hold Xun'er's hand while he went to support the Elder Master. "Grandfather, you haven't recovered yet. I was planning to give you a treatment today."
"You're thoughtful."
He patted Lin Xiao's hand. "A person from outside the family shows me more concern than my own flesh and blood. It seems I've raised a pack of ungrateful wretches!"
As he spoke, he raised his voice, scanning the room and looking at Luo Buwei and the others. Then, he sat on the sofa and gestured to the lawyer. "Lawyer Zhang, please begin."
"Alright."
Lawyer Zhang nodded.
"Originally, I didn't intend to modify my will. After all, they are all Luo family members, my own children. But alas, after I learned of your actions, you ungrateful wretches, I made a decision." Elder Master Luo said with a grim face.
Hearing the Elder Master's words, Luo Buwei and the others' faces changed drastically. Judging by the Elder Master's tone, it was clear that the will heavily favored Luo Buyu's family!
"Father, how can you say that..."
Luo Qinghan's paternal aunt, Luo Min, immediately spoke.
"You, shut up."
Elder Master Luo stomped his cane on the ground. He said angrily, "What you've done these past few years has completely disgraced my Luo family. You're over forty, what kind of person are you?"
"Don't think I don't know about you keeping a gigolo. I also heard about how you crippled a man recently."
"..."
Suddenly, all the men in the hall instinctively took a step back when looking at Luo Min. Some even covered their lower bodies.
Everyone was aware of the rumors about Luo Min at home. It was said she was quite extreme, often spending money to abuse men. It was unexpected that she had actually crippled one.
"Lawyer Zhang, please read it."
Elder Master Luo closed his eyes. At this moment, he no longer cared about the saying that family secrets should not be spread. To be precise, after he investigated carefully, he found that the entire Luo family was a disgrace!
In comparison, Luo Qinghan's accidental affair with Lin Xiao and her stubborn decision to give birth to Xun'er seemed insignificant.
In just five minutes.
Lawyer Zhang read out Elder Master Luo's decision.
All the shares of the Luo family were handed over to Luo Qinghan. The rest received nothing.
All the assets of the Luo family were given to Luo Buyu, with the exception of a necessary portion. The others received nothing.
After this news was read out, the entire Luo family hall fell silent.
Luo Buwei was the first to express his disagreement. "Father! I am the eldest son! Buyu and his family are illegitimate children!"
"Shut up."
Elder Master Luo's cane showed no mercy. Luo Buwei was over sixty years old, but he was almost forced to his knees by Elder Master Luo's strike.
"You're old, look at yourself. As the eldest son, have you ever taken the lead? Your son is thirty, a complete failure, idling around with you. Your grandson, besides bullying Xun'er with his cronies, what else does he do? The rotten beam above causes the rotten beam below. What kind of grandfather are you!" Elder Master Luo coughed as he spoke.
The rotten beam above causes the rotten beam below...
Luo Buwei looked at his father. Why was his father scolding him? But he dared not speak. His head still hurt. His father had completely ignored his injuries and struck him directly on the head!
Lin Xiao quickly injected a stream of true qi into Elder Master Luo's back, helping him regulate his body. He said, "Elder Master, don't rush. Your health is paramount."
"Alas!"
Elder Master Luo sighed. "Thank you for your trouble, Lin Xiao."
"These unworthy descendants have made you a laughingstock."
Elder Master Luo felt the changes in his body and took a long breath. With Lin Xiao around, he could still remain strong and live a bit longer.
Compared to Lin Xiao, these flesh and blood relatives who wished for his early demise day and night.
Madam Hua's face was extremely gloomy. She looked at Elder Master Luo and said, "Old man, you value so highly someone who is... illegitimate and improper..."
"Illegitimate and improper?"
Hearing his wife speak like this, Elder Master Luo became angry. "I think you're just thinking of letting your son inherit. Haven't you seen that if I handed over my industries to them, what good outcome could there be?! Cough cough!"
"Grandfather, calm down." Lin Xiao immediately helped Elder Master Luo regulate his breathing. Then he looked at Madam Hua, saying sternly, "Old lady, don't you have any discernment? Can't you see that Grandfather is almost being angered to illness by them? And you're still saying this?"
"You!"
Madam Hua trembled all over, pointed at him, and retorted.
"How dare you speak to my mother like that!"
Luo Buwei immediately stepped forward to defend his mother, glaring at Lin Xiao.
However, as soon as he spoke, he noticed his father's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing his reaction, Elder Master Luo lowered his eyelids and lay on the sofa, saying weakly, "My decision is made. This matter is not up for discussion."
