As Liu Ning's voice faded, Xu Tingyu tightened her grip.
Liu Ning was a woman herself. Why would she say such things?
Just like Zhang Qiu.
She was a woman who had suffered all kinds of injustices. Why did she inherit such a flaw and join others in bullying her own daughter?
Qi Shifeng noticed her tension and patted her hand in comfort.
Then he said directly to Liu Ning, "You said she's an outsider, but she has the Qi surname, while yours is Liu."
Using magic to defeat magic was the quickest way.
Sure enough, Liu Ning was stunned.
It seemed that she had just realized that in the old man's will, the biggest beneficiaries were still his two most valued grandsons.
And then there was Youyou.
Even though the relationship between the two grandsons and the old man had been tense in recent years.
Even though the great - grandson Youyou had met the old man no more than five times in total.
However, he was so fixated on male descendants and bloodlines.
As for Qi Ruixi.
When the old man made his will, he didn't know that she was with Zou Yu and pregnant.
In his plan, Qi Ruixi should have married into a well - matched family for the interests of the Qi Corporation.
Leaving her cash and jewelry was also to prevent others from looking down on the Qi family.
He had an accident not long after he found out that Qi Ruixi was with Zou Yu and pregnant.
Otherwise, this version of the will would definitely have been changed.
But no matter how it was changed, Liu Ning would definitely not be taken into consideration.
The story about leaving her a large sum of money was made up by that intern.
How could a junior intern have access to such confidential content?
He just thought that the Qi family was so wealthy and there was only one daughter - in - law, so the old man must have left something for her.
No matter what it was, it would be a large sum of money.
So he told this lie without hesitation.
Liu Ning understood and slumped back onto the sofa in a state of collapse, covering her face as if she really couldn't accept this result.
After the lawyer confirmed Qi Shifeng and the others' intentions, he said, "I'll prepare the transfer contract as soon as possible. Please accept my condolences. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he left first.
As soon as the lawyer left, Qi Ruixi blinked and said, "Two brothers, I know you love me. Thank you. I love you too."
She didn't decline the 5% shares.
Because she really wanted them. When she returned to the country, she came with the intention of fighting for them.
She didn't expect that now, without any fight, they would just offer them to her.
She wasn't so noble as to say something like refusing them.
She would accept them generously because she was also a member of the Qi family, just like them, a descendant of the Qi family.
Liu Ning was still in a state of collapse. Hearing this, she jumped up again and accused, "You ungrateful girl. Are you laughing at me?"
"Did you marry a poor man just because you were eyeing the family's property, thinking they would feel sorry for you?"
"I think you've really been blinded by greed. You even got married to this bodyguard so early. Now this will all be your marital property."
"You're really something. You're just giving all this money to an outsider. All of you are really going to piss me off."
Now that the bulk of the inheritance had gone to Qi Ruixi, naturally her anger was directed at her.
Qi Shifeng and the others were about to speak up for Qi Ruixi when they heard her speak.
"I'm willing to. Mom, you've never been loved, and you've never loved anyone. Of course, you don't understand."
"You don't love your husband, so you don't love your children either. You were just sent into the Qi family by the Liu family like a mascot."
"Then the Liu family took the three projects from the Qi family and made a fortune. Did they ever share a single cent with you?"
"You don't love Dad. You hate his philandering, but you're reluctant to let go of the glory of the Qi family. You trapped yourself in this gilded cage."
"You thought that after Grandpa died, your days of endurance were finally over, so you've been acting so impatient."
"But you've never understood that from the moment you wanted everything, you've become someone who can be easily manipulated."
"You're angry and attacking me and my husband now. It doesn't matter. I won't argue with you because I pity you."
"You've never enjoyed normal love, nor have you ever shown normal affection to others. You've lived your whole life surrounded by money. Now bear the consequences of it."
Qi Ruixi didn't want to explain her relationship with Zou Yu to her.
Because it was a meaningless thing.
Liu Ning didn't understand why the three children were not close to her, nor why the old man treated her like this.
Her outbursts were always hysterical, just verbal attacks.
They seemed so weak and powerless.
It was because she had never really understood her situation that all of this was, in a way, self - inflicted.
Liu Ning stared blankly at her youngest daughter.
For some reason, she felt a bit dazed.
This was the child she had carried for ten months. Unfortunately, she really couldn't bring herself to love her.
From the moment they were born, they were taken away by the nurses and nannies.
She was busy getting back in shape, busy pleasing the old man, and busy dealing with Qi Dezhi's affairs outside.
She had no time or mood to spend time on the three children who knew nothing.
She simply thought that giving birth to them was her greatest achievement.
They would surely be filial to her in the future.
She forgot that without the nourishment of love, the bond of blood could never meet her expectations.
The Qi Ye siblings would not let her freeze or starve, and they could maintain her life as a noblewoman.
But that was all.
"Stop talking. People from the funeral home are here. There's still a lot to do."
Qi Ye finally spoke up, interrupting this farce.
Liu Ning was forcibly sent back to rest first.
And Zou Yu made a promise in front of them, "I won't take a single cent of Xixi's money."
He had already been admitted to the military academy according to the previous plan.
Now he was working part - time while studying, and his income was indeed very limited.
But Qi Ruixi had told him more than once that she didn't care about these things. If she wanted money, she wouldn't have started a relationship with him in the first place.
"Zou Yu, even if Xixi didn't have these shares, there aren't many people richer than her."
"If she really cared about money, she wouldn't have brought you here."
"Don't take what my mom said to heart. Take good care of Xixi. She's in her advanced pregnancy. You need to be extra careful during the memorial service later."
Qi Ye spoke up again, giving Zou Yu a definite answer.
As soon as he said this, even Xu Tingyu, who had always ignored him, cast a look at him.
Qi Ye really showed the complexity of human nature to the fullest.
If he didn't pursue fame and fortune, he wouldn't have been involved in illegal businesses.
If he valued profit over emotion, he wouldn't have done so many irrational things for Xu Tingyu.
And he wouldn't have said these words to Zou Yu now.
Sometimes, Xu Tingyu was really curious about what he really wanted.
Was it her?
If it was, then why hadn't he done anything to her in the past three months?
Was he really the purest gentleman?
