Chapter 339
Qin Wenqiang's request naturally made the two elders uncomfortable, and the mistress wasn't too pleased either.
Although they had spoken harshly during the argument, deep down, they knew that as long as they had this granddaughter, they wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives. She was the link—when Yang Weiwei grew up, she would still have to consider her grandparents' feelings and take care of her younger siblings. This wasn't something that cold, hard laws could change.
"After all, Weiwei is still a descendant of the Old Yang Family. What you're doing is utterly immoral," Grandpa Yang said.
Qin Wenqiang once again witnessed their shamelessness and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Had she been blind all those years? How had she failed to see how despicable they were?
Yang Weiwei, furious, widened her eyes and said, "You just said you didn't recognize me anymore. Does being old mean you can go back on your word?"
Grandma Yang immediately retorted, "We were just angry with your mom earlier. You're too young to understand anything!"
But Yang Weiwei understood perfectly. She knew these shameless relatives wanted to take advantage of her for the rest of her life, and she refused to let that happen.
"You never liked me before, and now you want to cling to me, expecting me to take care of you in your old age. I'm not clueless!" Yang Weiwei's eyes reddened with anger, but her voice was firm and resolute. "But you won't succeed. I'd rather die than take care of you. If you're unhappy, go ahead and sue me in court!"
Seeing Yang Weiwei's hostility, Yang Feng's parents were furious and wanted to scold her. But Qin Wenqiang cut them off.
"Not agreeing? Fine. Lawyer, we insist on fighting for that company. They don't know how to run it. It's only fair that it be awarded to us."
At this, the mistress's younger brother panicked. He was the one who wanted the company the most. After all, the other parts of the inheritance were less accessible to him, but the company was something he could directly take over. Even if he couldn't manage it well, selling it would surely fetch a hefty sum. After all, hadn't his brother-in-law mentioned something about going public? Companies that could go public were worth hundreds of millions, far more valuable than the rest of the inheritance.
He immediately turned to Yang Feng's parents and urged, "Hurry and fight for it! With the company, money will keep flowing in. It's much better than those stagnant assets. Don't you trust the wealth your son left for us? He worked so hard to build it. And dragging Yang Weiwei along won't help. She resents you so much now. If she stays with her mom, do you really think she'll remember to take care of you in the future? You already have grandchildren from my sister. Why care about one less? Don't lose out on this!"
The mistress herself began to waver. She thought more simply: while the inheritance was nominally left to Yang Feng's parents, they were old. If something happened to them, Yang Weiwei would have a stronger claim to the inheritance than her own children. So, if Yang Weiwei cut ties with them, it would actually benefit her children. Moreover, given Qin Wenqiang's attitude, the mistress doubted her children could ever rely on Yang Weiwei in the future.
With this in mind, the mistress also began to persuade Yang Feng's parents.
Yang Feng's parents were swayed by the arguments. Seeing Yang Weiwei's hostile and rebellious gaze, they realized she would never be loyal to them. It was better to let it go. Besides, even if they declared a severance of ties, if something really happened in the future, could Yang Weiwei really stand by and do nothing? The media would crucify her.
The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. They nodded in agreement, signed the severance agreement, and, at Qin Wenqiang's request, recorded a video as legal proof.
Finally, the inheritance was successfully divided.
[Congratulations, congratulations! It's all settled now, hahaha! What a show!]
While the other members of the Qin Family were also happy, they couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of unease, wondering if everything would go smoothly from here.
As the grand drama came to an end, the onlookers were stuffed with gossip. Having witnessed the shamelessness of the Yang Family, they silently vowed never to collaborate with them in the future. Getting entangled with them would be an unimaginable nightmare.
From this moment on, the new company they took over would face insurmountable challenges.
Qin Wenqiang didn't waste any time. She had no intention of bringing Yang Weiwei to the funeral. Instead, she had Grandpa Yang accompany her to transfer Yang Weiwei's household registration.
The rest of the Qin Family didn't follow. Shortly after returning to the old residence, they heard the news: not only had the household registration been transferred, but Yang Weiwei had also changed her surname on the spot.
Upon hearing this, the patriarch waved his hand and declared that they would celebrate that very night in honor of Qin Weiwei!
Everyone was supposed to attend, as the divorce of the eldest cousin was also a significant event.
However, only Third Uncle Qin showed up.
The patriarch frowned and asked, and Third Uncle Qin could only awkwardly explain, "Zi Xuan needs to rest for her pregnancy, and Qin Han is staying home to keep her safe."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The patriarch, being shrewd, sensed something amiss but didn't press further.
When Third Uncle Qin entered the lively living room, he was taken aback.
His daughter, who usually stayed quiet and unnoticed in the corner, was now sitting in the middle of the crowd. Though she still didn't speak, her eyes were no longer hidden behind her bangs. Instead, they sparkled as she watched her siblings chat animatedly.
Her usually expressionless face now shifted with the emotions of the conversation around her.
"When they heard about the name change, Yang Feng's dad couldn't keep his composure. It was hilarious! He never cared about our Weiwei, always favoring boys, but when it came to changing her surname, it was like his life was on the line," Qin Yi scoffed. "Thankfully, Big Sister had the foresight to only bring him. If that old hag had come, she would've thrown a tantrum for sure!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, they noticed Third Uncle Qin entering and immediately stopped their conversation to greet him.
But Third Uncle Qin saw his daughter stiffen for a moment, her eyes nervously darting behind him. Only when she saw nothing there did she relax.
Third Uncle Qin's heart sank. He remembered how, at home, the family had spoken resentfully of his daughter when she wasn't around. A suffocating feeling washed over him, and his expression darkened.
Still, he first explained to Qin Wenqiang, the star of the evening, why the others hadn't come.
Qin Wenqiang smiled indifferently and even asked after the elders' health.
The others found it a bit odd, but since she was now an older expectant mother, they didn't say much.
Meanwhile, Qin Second's family had fresh gossip to share.
[Unbelievable! Third Aunt and Qin Han wanted to bring that scheming woman to the gathering, but Third Uncle refused. So, they got angry and didn't come. Who do they think they are? Big Sister's divorce and Weiwei's name change have nothing to do with outsiders. How dare they suggest bringing someone else? Ridiculous!]
