Unlike the ultra-rich Fu Qiyuan and his daughter, the other descendants present were incredibly excited. They knew the old man was wealthy, but they hadn't expected him to be this wealthy. Most importantly, such a large fortune was about to be divided among them.

Although they were not short of money, no one would complain about having too much money. Of course, this "not short of" was relative, and it was definitely not as good as Fu Qiyuan's, nor as good as Fu Ziyan's who had cheated.

Fu Mingzhang saw the excitement of his descendants, but he didn't think much of it. He was old, and with Hong Kong's high inheritance tax, the family fortune would have to be divided up sooner or later.

The huge inheritance tax was one reason, but more importantly, he learned today that He Simian, the catalyst that tore the Fu family apart in his dream, had appeared, and just like in his dream, she and Fu Zimu were still in love. Although the present was very different from his dream, he was still alive, and his most outstanding son, Fu Qiyuan, was also alive, but to be on the safe side, it was better to divide the family first.

It will be separated sooner or later anyway.

If Fu Zimu is still confused by his love-brain like in the dream, then he should squander the family property allocated to him and not implicate other children and grandchildren of the Fu family.

Regarding that dream, Fu Mingzhang felt that perhaps it was because he had distributed too little property to these descendants, which was why they could not withstand the storm and were dragged into such an unfortunate situation by Fu Zimu.

Looking at his children and grandchildren, Fu Mingzhang continued with a kind expression, "Of the company's stock valued at $140 million, $40 million will be divided equally among the grandchildren, giving them $2 million each. Each of my granddaughters will also receive a building and a shop, which can be considered as a dowry left for them in advance by me, their grandfather."

No one objected. Two million dollars worth of stock was a lot. The younger children didn't understand this, but the older, more experienced boys knew that when they grew up, they would inherit their parents' fortunes, and the sisters would just be a dowry.

If grandchildren can get two million dollars worth of stocks, then their children will naturally get even more.

Fu Qifei looked expectant.

The last time Dad divided up the family fortune, there was no share for the daughters! Although her dowry was quite large, it would have been better if she could have gotten more.

Fu Mingzhang didn't want to treat his daughter unfairly. They were all his children, and he treated them equally, but there were still some differences between legitimate and illegitimate children.

"The remaining 100 million shares will be divided into ten parts. Your eldest brother Qi Huai is away from home all year round. He didn't get a share when the family fortune was divided last time, but he should get one this time. His share will be managed by Qi Yuan until he or his descendants return home to take it over."

"Give each of you four brothers and three sisters a building," Fu Mingzhang looked at the children from the second and third wives. "The remaining real estate and antiques will be divided in half, with Qi Huai and Qi Yuan each getting half. Qi Yuan will also manage it until your eldest brother returns. The money and the few remaining belongings in my bank account will be kept for daily expenses for the time being and will not be divided among you. After a hundred years, everything I have left, including this house, will be left to Qi Yuan."

Fu Mingzhang finished speaking, and no one objected. Being able to get another share of stocks worth tens of millions of dollars was already quite good. They had already received some when Lou and Gudong divided the family property last time, so it didn't matter whether they got any this time or not.

Of course, it’s useless even if they have objections.

They had no ability to refute or change the decision made by the old man, and it was only natural that the eldest son should inherit most of the family business.

As for the possibility that Fu Qihuai would not come back, no one raised it. No one dared to offend the old man at this juncture. What if they got less of his property?

Moreover, the old man's meaning was very clear. If Fu Qihuai and his descendants came back, he would get half of it. If they didn't come back, all of it would be given to Fu Qiyuan.

After explaining this, Fu Mingzhang continued, "As for the Fu shares and Xiangjiang Water Power Company shares I hold, as well as other assets, they will all be placed in the family trust as I said when we divided the family assets last time. I will pay you a monthly living allowance, and Qi Yuan will be responsible for all matters related to the family trust."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Fu Mingzhang signaled Lawyer Chang to draft an agreement, have everyone sign it, and then take them to go through the transfer procedures.

At this point, the division of the property is over.

Everyone was very satisfied and wanted to stay and sit with the old man for a while to show their filial piety. However, Fu Mingzhang was too lazy to pay attention to their "in Cao's camp but heart is Han" appearance, so he followed their wishes and sent them back to handle the property transfer procedures.

The transfer procedures are a bit complicated, but with a lawyer to handle it, they don't have to be too busy at all.

The one with the problem is Fu Ziyan.

She didn't care how much of the family property she got. What she was interested in was her uncle Fu Qihuai, whom her grandfather mentioned when he divided the family property.

From the day Fu Ziyan learned about the composition of the Fu family, she had been very curious about her "invisible uncle." However, since neither her father nor her grandfather had ever discussed her uncle, Fu Ziyan assumed it was some family secret or hidden cause, and never dared to ask.

When I was chatting with my younger cousin Fu Ziyi before, I asked him about this out of curiosity because we were of the same age and had a good relationship. However, my younger cousin didn't know about this and only knew that he was "alive but not at home."

Therefore, from the age of eight to fifteen, Fu Ziyan's impression of this mysterious uncle was always "alive" and "three years older than her father."

Since it was grandpa who took the initiative to mention uncle this time, Fu Ziyan decided to seize the opportunity to find out.

She is really curious!

Fu Mingzhang has always been indulgent to his granddaughter. Seeing Titi blinking her starry eyes and looking at him with curiosity, he smiled kindly and took Titi to the study to answer her questions.

He took out a photo album and pointed to a photo of a family of four taken in the garden and showed it to Fu Ziyan.

In the middle of the yellowed, age-inspired black-and-white photograph, a round stone table stands out. Seated at the table are the elegant young father, the dignified and gentle mother, and two dashing young men. They are clearly the young grandfather Fu Mingzhang, grandmother Li Shuyi, father Fu Qiyuan, and uncle Fu Qihuai.

Fu Ziyan's focus was on Fu Qihuai.

Unlike my father's pair of almond-shaped eyes, my uncle's eyes are exactly the same as my grandfather's, both are auspicious phoenix eyes, but other than that, my uncle's other facial features are not very similar to my grandfather's.

Fu Mingzhang looked at the old photo with a touch of nostalgia. "Your uncle, he was a stubborn and unyielding person from a young age. He ran away from home at the age of eighteen, pursuing his lofty ideals. He went from a wealthy young man to a worker-peasant soldier hiding his identity and struggling in the mud in just three days."

Fu Ziyan opened her eyes wide, "Uncle is joining the war!"

"I was so angry that I locked him up at home, but he escaped." Fu Mingzhang's eyes were filled with a mixture of pride and loneliness. "When I saw him again, he was covered in blood and had won countless military exploits."

"He didn't want to move to Hong Kong with us; he just wanted to stay and pursue his lofty ideals and ambitions. I respect him. In mainland China, he was an orphan, a soldier who grew up through hard work and had a legitimate family background. He had no connection to the Fu family for eight generations. But in Hong Kong, the eldest son of the Fu family was just away studying and hadn't returned home for many years. He would eventually come back."

Sensing the expectation and longing hidden in her grandfather's eyes, Fu Ziyan quickly spoke to comfort him, "Uncle will definitely come back!"

Fu Mingzhang looked at Titi's anxious expression as she tried to comfort him, and his heart warmed. He nodded with amusement, "Our Titi's words are always true, so I'll definitely take them as they are. But before that, you have to help Grandpa keep the secret of Uncle's whereabouts."

"Of course. No one can pry out my uncle's whereabouts from me!"
