Senior Master Xie knew the temperament of his old wife well.
Soft-hearted, easily swayed.
It must have been Xie Motong who manipulated his wife and made her give away his younger daughter’s inheritance.
He despised Xie Motong this point.
So greedy.
Such a granddaughter disgusted him more than if she didn’t exist.
And his son, he had become unbearable lately.
An adult man of many years, aimless, spending every day with dubious friends, living in a drunken haze.
If he were not capable but kind-hearted, it might be forgivable.
But he turned out to be petty and short-sighted, lusting after the small amount he had to inherit, no filial piety to speak of.
With a son like that, what could he do except to bring him shame?
This exasperating family should be evicted as soon as possible, he felt repulsed at the mere sight of them.
Seeing Xie Motong still kneeling, he angrily ordered, “Why are you still kneeling? Aren’t you going to fetch those jewels and the property deed yet? Should I send someone to search?”
“Why? Grandpa? Why are you treating us like this?” Xie Motong broke down in tears and asked in despair, “Grandpa, I am your own granddaughter! You are my grandpa, why don’t you care about me? Why do you only care for Yunlin and Jinfei, why?”
“Why? Good, let me tell you why,” Senior Master Xie’s dark clouded eyes stared at her coldly: “When your grandmother and I fell ill, it was those two brothers who poured tea for us and attended us at our sickbed. If there was anything worrying us, they could tell at a glance and tried their best to cheer us up. What about your family?”
Senior Master Xie sneered, “All of you are eyeing Xie Family’s wealth. You do try to please us, but you never care about our feelings or health. All you do is rack your brains trying to gain more benefits from us. For instance, your aunt’s inheritance, didn’t you pester your grandma to give it to you?”
Xie Motong’s face turned bright red, tears spilling fiercely, she said in a shaky voice, “Grandpa, you are being biased! Because my elder brothers care about you, you say they are sincere. My parents, sister and I show concern for you, you say we are after your property… How… how could you?”
“Xie Motong, have you forgotten what your grandfather used to do? Your grandpa is a veteran who has fought and killed in wars, and I have mastered the Art of War. Who is genuine and who is fake, do you think you can fool me?” Senior Master Xie sneered, “Xie Motong, your little tricks can only fool your grandma, but you are too naive to think you can fool me!”
“No … it’s not… I didn’t… I didn’t…” Xie Motong shook her head desperately.
Senior Master Xie waved his hand in irritation, ordering the housekeeper: “Call the bodyguards. Let her get the things. If she doesn’t, send them to search. If they can’t find it, take her to the police station.”
The housekeeper courteously responded and dialed the bodyguards’ number.
Seeing that their predicament was hopeless, Qin Huilan grabbed Xie Motong’s ear and jerked her up from the floor, scolding: “You little beast, why aren’t you getting your aunt’s jewelry and the property deed yet? Have your grandpa ever treated you unfairly? How could you be so shallow and focus on your aunt’s possessions? Hurry up and bring the things to your cousin!”
Just now, Qin Huilan had hoped that her suddenly explosive daughter would make the old master realize his conscience and give them some more benefits.
Now, not only have they not benefited, but they were about to be thrown out. Qin Huilan seethed with hatred towards her daughter..
