So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'
Chapter 172 Finale (Part )
Xie Junfei and Huo Shen rushed to Shen Huaishan's residence in Haicheng overnight.
Shen Huaishan committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
There was no one else in the villa, and in order not to affect Shen's stock price, the police temporarily suppressed the news of Shen Huaishan's suicide.
The lawyer was slightly surprised by their overnight arrival, but still maintained a high level of professionalism, briefly explaining the current situation while in the car.
He was Shen Huaishan's private lawyer and had been by Shen Huaishan's side for over twenty years, making him essentially his most capable assistant.
The lawyer handed Xie Junfei a letter bearing the Shen family crest:
“Mr. Shen’s will has been notarized. This is his private letter to you.”
Xie Junfei held the letter in her hand, but didn't rush to open it. Instead, she asked him:
When did Shen Huaishan make his will?
The lawyer hesitated for a moment, then, remembering Shen Huaishan's instructions, answered honestly:
"It was the day after he found you."
“At that time, Mr. Shen found you by following the lead of the executives who left Tia. He knew your identity at first glance.”
“After he returned to Haicheng, he came to me and said he wanted to amend his will and leave all his property to you.”
After saying that, as if afraid Xie Junfei wouldn't believe him, the lawyer added:
"Please rest assured, President Shen has managed the Shen Group very well over the years, and there are no problems with the board of directors."
"The only thing is that, in exchange, you need to provide Weihe and your genetic testing report."
“I remember Mr. Shen should have done it for you back then, and the report should be in your hands now.”
Xie Junfei frowned, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Seeing that she was still struggling with this, Huo Shen took over her work and assigned her tasks:
“My lawyer will come to Haicheng from Beijing tomorrow morning. I will have him contact you and take over the next steps.”
After speaking, he turned to Xie Junfei, who was still thinking, and said gently:
"As for tomorrow's art salon, I'll send a message to Xie Wenzhou and ask him and Holland to go and support you."
"Read this letter first, and then decide what you want to do next."
He reached out and gently pulled the girl into his arms:
"With me and the Huo family around, there will always be someone to back you up."
Xie Junfei snapped out of her reverie, smiled at the person beside her, and opened the letter.
Shen Huaishan was always a man of great social skills, but that letter contained only a few words.
He said he had done many wrong things in his life and had let down almost everyone around him.
He said that the more than ten years after the Shen family was destroyed and he was left all alone were not easy for him.
He found that things hadn't improved because of the Shen family members' passing; in fact, they were getting worse.
Over the past ten years, he has reflected on himself and realized many things. His father, Shen Anguo, did not mistreat him because of his status as an illegitimate child, and his brother did not see himself clearly. It was he who could not get over this hurdle in his heart, which became a demon in his mind, and in the end he paid a heavy price for his actions.
After Yu Wei's death, he became completely alone. The only remaining relative in the world turned against him and they never saw each other again, even in death.
Over the past decade or so, besides his obsession with Wei, the only thing that kept him alive was finding Xie Junfei and having her acknowledge her ancestry.
But Shen Anguo didn't believe him and kept his granddaughter's identity very well hidden.
He searched for a very long time, but couldn't get any information.
It wasn't until he went to Beijing this year to attend an art exhibition that he unexpectedly ran into the executive who had left Tia.
Without asking, he saw Xie Junfei's photo on the executive's phone.
She looked remarkably like Yu Wei when he was young. The moment he saw her, he knew she was the one he was looking for.
Later, he tried to get close to her, but was rejected without hesitation.
He had lost all hope of living and just wanted to make amends to Xie Junfei.
His feelings for Wei were complicated, but the child was different. She was the last bloodline of the Shen family left in this world, and the Shen family should rightfully have her inherit the family business.
Xie Junfei stared blankly at the increasingly messy handwriting at the end of the letter, knowing that his mental state was no longer normal.
Shen Huaishan was, after all, only human. The cruelty of killing his own brother and the suicide of his beloved in front of him had a huge impact on him. Coupled with the torment of more than ten years of sleepless nights, his attitude towards relationships was now a complete mess.
Then, considering the cabinet full of medication for mental illness that the police found in Shen Huaishan's bedroom, his rambling suicide note suddenly made sense.
We are all ordinary people, and few people are born with antisocial personalities, including Shen Huaishan.
His hatred wasn't pure; it stemmed more from his inferiority complex about his background and his jealousy of his brother. After his passionate revenge, he would eventually calm down, and feelings of regret would inevitably surface.
But by the time he tried to make amends, the Shen family had already been destroyed and its members were killed by his actions.
Therefore, Xie Junfei, the only hope of the Shen family who had been living away from home, became the object of his atonement, replacing the Shen family members who had died unjustly.
After seeing Xie Junfei, Shen Huaishan had put his mind at ease, made arrangements for his funeral, and passed away contentedly.
The grudges and feuds of the elders ended so hastily, leaving only Xie Junfei alone.
Xie Junfei suddenly felt lost and powerless.
Holding the suicide note, she rarely showed such a bewildered expression.
She had originally prepared herself to fight Shen Huaishan to the death to avenge her father and mother.
But as soon as she unleashed her full power, the enemy exploded and died!
The Shen family's enormous fortune fell into her hands. If what the lawyer said was true, she could become the head of the Shen family tomorrow, inheriting all of Shen Huai's shares, resources, and assets, if she wanted to.
Huo Shen finished arranging the art exhibition for tomorrow while standing beside her, then turned to look at her.
Xie Junfei seemed a little confused, and looked at Huo Shen with some unease, as if she wanted him to help her confirm something:
"So, that's it?"
Huo Shen lowered his eyes, glanced at the letter casually, and quickly understood its contents. He nodded slightly in affirmation:
"Yes, that's it."
Xie Junfei was still somewhat incredulous when the man sitting next to her pulled her into his arms:
"You're just overcomplicating things."
"It's just the grudges and affections of the elders, which are different from the situation of the Huo family. It's normal that you don't understand."
"The Huo family has a complex population, and the grudges they have are based on interests; the Shen family has a simple population, and the grudges they have are based solely on Shen Huaishan. Now that Shen Huaishan is dead, the grudges that are not based on interests have dissipated."
"If you're still not satisfied even though the person is dead, I can do something with his body..."
Huo Shen subtly omitted what he was about to say, but Xie Junfei already understood what he meant, and was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"That's not necessary."
