Chapter 858: Signing of Documents and Lu Chengzhou’s Attitude Toward Gu Mang

Before watching the video, Gu Mang had thought of countless possibilities as to why Old Madam Lu wanted to give her half of the Lu family’s fortune, but never did she expect to hear those two answers. It was just like how Old Madam Lu did not expect her to push her grandson away.

The lawyers had not watched the video Old Madam Lu left behind, but Jiang Shenyuan noticed the video length when he opened the file to show Gu Mang. It was a 5 minute and 17 second long video.

Out of habit, Jiang Shenyuan glanced at his watch. He did not make any sound even after the video ended, giving Gu Mang time to think.

While exchanging messages with He Yidu, Lin Shuang looked up to check on Gu Mang from time to time. Just then, she saw Gu Mang put the book on her lap away and picked up one of the documents and the pen from the coffee table. She blinked at the sight, her gaze never moving away from Gu Mang as she typed, [She’s signing the documents.]

…

On the other side.

Lu Zhan and Lu Chengzhou had already announced that they would respect Old Madam Lu’s last wishes, so the rest of the family dared not say anything even though they felt indignant. The guests who came to the funeral were even more surprised by the contents of the will, never expecting half of the Lu family’s fortune to end up in the hands of an outsider.

The funeral proceeded without any further disturbances.

Lu Zhan, Lu Shangjin, and their other brothers carried Old Madam Lu’s coffin out in a grand procession. Hundreds of black luxury cars and police cars helped clear the way for them. Funeral music accompanied the procession as the cars, which carried the Lu family’s direct and collateral relatives, followed behind. The road to the Lu family’s cemetery was blocked off by the police, only allowing the Lu family’s hearse to pass.

Accompanying the overcast sky was the gloomy and solemn atmosphere in the cemetery. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Old Madam Lu’s grand burial marked the end of her legendary life. Once the burial ended, everyone left the cemetery with Qin Fang and He Yidu walking at the back of the crowd.

He Yidu was typing something on his phone when Qin Fang whispered to him for the third time, “He Yidu, is there any news from Gu Mang?”

Earlier, they had heard from Lin Shuang that Jiang Shenyuan had tried changing Gu Mang’s mind when she had refused to accept the inheritance and tried to distribute it according to the previous will, but they had received no further news even until now.

It was right then that He Yidu received a message from Lin Shuang. He took one look at it before turning his phone screen to Qin Fang with a lift of his chin.

Qin Fang’s jaw dropped when he saw the message. Without saying anything else, he squeezed through the crowd and made his way over to Lu Chengzhou. Since there was no need to hide the will, there was nothing he could not say in front of Lu Zhan, who was standing next to Lu Chengzhou. Thus, he said, “Brother Cheng, sis—no, Ms. Gu has signed the documents and has accepted Old Madam Lu’s inheritance.”

Qin Fang had always addressed Gu Mang as his sister-in-law and it was almost instinctive now.

Upon hearing that, Lu Zhan looked at Qin Fang before turning his gaze to Lu Chengzhou. Lu Chengzhou had a hand in his pocket as he gave an indifferent hum of acknowledgment. There were no emotions on his face. His reaction, or rather lack of reaction, regarding this matter seemed to be out of respect for his late grandmother’s last wishes. It was as if he were saying, Why should I care about this when my grandmother’s fortune isn’t going to me?

Qin Fang touched his nose, feeling unaccustomed to Lu Chengzhou’s attitude toward Gu Mang.

On the other hand, Second Master Lu’s face darkened when he heard what Qin Fang said. As he left the cemetery and got into his car, he made a phone call to someone.

…

Huo Zhi and the gang had just returned to the hotel when Elder Gu received a phone call. His eyes narrowed when he saw the caller ID. He looked up to tell Huo Zhi, “Mr. Huo, you may go up with the little young master first.”

Huo Zhi stepped into the elevator together with Gu Si.
