After get off work in the afternoon, Wen Haowen went straight to the hospital. He was still thinking about the old man. As long as the old man refused to see him, he would feel more uneasy, for he was afraid that the old man would not forgive him.
He made up his mind that he must be a filial son during this period of time, at least to coax the old man into forgiving him.
Thinking of this, Wen Haowen went to Li Ji to buy the old man’s favorite crystal dumplings and soy milk, and drove towards the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, I saw the old man’s personal secretary, Secretary Cao, leading the old man’s personal lawyer out of the ward.
His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Why did the old man suddenly meet Lawyer Luo
Do you want to change your will
He made the old man so angry that he was admitted to the hospital. It happened that the old man met a lawyer at this time, and he couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
He clenched his hands that were hanging on both sides of his body into fists, and immediately greeted them with a smile: "Lawyer Luo, Secretary Cao, are you here to see my father too?"
Although Secretary Cao didn't know the details of what happened today, he had guessed it from the old man's few words. When he saw Wen Haowen, his expression faded.
Lawyer Luo still had a formulaic expression, his smile was generous and decent, and there was no fault to be found in it, but it was also distant: "I just learned that the old man was in a coma in the hospital, so I came here to see him."
Wen Haowen's eyes fell on the briefcase in his hand. It was already time to get off work, so there was no need for him to carry the briefcase to the hospital to see the old man. He didn't believe that he came here specially to see the old man.
Many lawyers take psychology courses, and Lawyer Luo is no exception. He also holds a master's degree from a famous psychology school in Country M, so he can easily see through Wen Haowen's thoughts. He has no intention of getting involved, so he smiled and said hello to Secretary Cao, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please tell Mr. Wen that I'll come to see him next time."
Secretary Cao said politely: "I'll see you off!"
Lawyer Luo glanced at Wen Haowen meaningfully and politely refused: "No need to bother."
Secretary Cao naturally knew what Lawyer Luo meant, so he did not insist.
As soon as Lawyer Luo left, Wen Haowen couldn't wait to ask, "Did Lawyer Luo really come here to see my father? Is there anything else?"
He knew that the old man had made a will when Mo Yunyao died fifteen years ago, and had revised it once five years ago to add Xia Ruya's relevant inheritance rights. After Xia Ruya's identity was exposed, the old man revised the will again and deleted all the relevant inheritance content about Xia Ruya in the will. He was the biggest beneficiary of this will.
Now, if the old man really modifies his will, it means that he is no longer the biggest beneficiary of the will.
"Of course I came here specially to see the old man." Secretary Cao looked at Wen Haowen with a hint of contempt. The old man was his father, who was now in the hospital. He did not visit him first when he came to the hospital, but instead asked him about the lawyer's movements. His thoughts were known to everyone.
Wen Haowen didn't believe Secretary Cao's words at all. Seeing Secretary Cao's unreliable look, Wen Haowen couldn't help but get angry, but he suppressed his anger and said in a gentle voice: "You are the person my father trusts the most. My father will never hide anything from you. Just tell me the truth! Is the old man..."
Wen Haowen didn't have the face to say the following words, but his meaning was expressed very clearly.
"I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean." Secretary Cao is the most capable person around Grandpa Wen. He has been with the old man for more than 30 years and has seen everything in the business world. How could he not understand what Wen Haowen meant? He was just taking the opportunity to ask about the old man's will, but as an assistant, it was difficult for him to say such a thing, so he pretended to be stupid.
Wen Haowen's face twitched and twisted for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal and said in a low voice, "Secretary Cao, I just want to know why my dad suddenly met with Lawyer Luo?"
Now what he said was clear enough, right? Wen Haowen had already cursed all his ancestors in his heart. This Secretary Cao had never been very understanding. Before, he had tried to please him openly and tried to please him secretly, but he was always respectful and distant to him, not taking him seriously at all and only listened to the old man. This made him very frustrated.
Secretary Cao still had a tone of indifference: "As Mr. Luo's personal secretary, you must pay close attention to his health. He suddenly fell into a coma and was hospitalized. Naturally, Mr. Luo had to come over to check on his health. I wonder what else you think Mr. Luo might have come to visit for?"
If Wen Haowen was braver and more open and honest and went to ask the old man in person, he would look at him with more respect, but he was secretly asking here. Such behavior was really chilling.
What he said was reasonable and he couldn't find any mistakes. However, the more he said so, the more Wen Haowen felt that there was something wrong with this matter. He didn't care about his face at this time and said hurriedly: "I just want to ask if the old man mentioned anything about the will."
"Please forgive me for not disclosing this matter. If you have any questions, President Wen, you can ask the old man. I believe the old man will explain it to you clearly." Secretary Cao looked at his anxious look, tore off the disguise on his face, and revealed his ugly true face. The old man was such a wise man, but he gave birth to such a son. He couldn't help but feel sad for the old man from the bottom of his heart. Then he thought of the elegant and beautiful girl. Thinking that it was she who took the lead in preventing the Xiao Group from acquiring Ai Shang, he felt fortunate that the old man at least had a successor.
How could he dare to ask the old man? Isn't this courting death? Wen Haowen's face suddenly became ugly, but he still insisted: "Is there anything inconvenient? I just want to know if there is any, and I didn't ask you to tell me anything else."
Secretary Cao frowned slightly and said, "President Wen, the old man is in the hospital now. Isn't it most important for you to care about the old man's health and be a filial son by his bedside? Isn't it a bit too much for you to be so eager to know about the will?"
Wen Haowen's face turned pale, and he felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face, his cheeks burning with shame and anger.
Secretary Cao glanced at him and turned away.
Wen Haowen looked at his back as he left and couldn't help cursing, "You son of a bitch, you bastard, what's so great about you? You're still eating our Wen family's food. Just wait... The old man will die one day, and then the Wen Group will be mine alone. I'll beat you to death to wash away today's shame."
As he said this, he angrily kicked the wall, leaving a huge footprint on the snow-white wall.
