The next morning, the sky was overcast. Thick clouds concealed the sun. Lightning flashed and thunder bellowed. There was a light drizzle, but with how the bitingly cold wind was picking up, the rain might start pouring soon.
Today’s weather was the complete opposite of yesterday’s.
Iris and Jin Liwei welcomed the lawyer in the front hall. He was Grandma Li’s lawyer, so Iris wasn’t very familiar with him.
The husband and wife led the lawyer inside the family house’s library.
The library hadn’t been updated for so long. Ever since Jin Liwei’s grandfather and father died, nobody used it anymore as an office. Jin Liwei had also long built his own palatial mansion and moved out.
Huang Yuyan was the only one who permanently lived here with the household staff. She was already a pampered young miss before marrying her husband. After she married, she became the wife of the Jin Corporation’s head. Her life had always been smooth sailing.
She had always been protected by her family, then her husband, and now her eldest son.
Huang Yuyan had no need to work a day in her life.
Iris looked around the library and felt itchy. She wanted to renovate it, restore the poor unused books, and then buy more books to fill some of the empty shelves.
However, she knew that this wasn’t the right time. Huang Yuyan might treat her well right now, but she didn’t want to encroach on her mother-in-law’s territory.
What if Huang Yuyan felt offended by Iris’ desire to renovate the library?
Although Iris had good intentions, her mother-in-law might think that Iris couldn’t wait to kick her out of the Jin family house and become the only mistress of the Jin clan. Iris would never want to destroy her good relationship with her mother-in-law.
Huang Yuyan and Jin Chonglin were already waiting in the library. Grandpa Lu was also present to act as a witness. Nobody questioned his presence at all. To all of them, he was a part of their family.
When everyone was seated around the table, the tension somehow became heavier. Everyone watched as the lawyer opened his briefcase to arrange the documents needed to be read today.
The lawyer cleared his throat. "On behalf of Li Zhiruo, I, as her lawyer, will now read her last will and testament."
Iris held her husband’s hand. His hand was colder than normal. He must be more nervous than she first thought.
She glanced at the others.
Grandpa Lu appeared to have regained a portion of his previous energetic self. At least, his eyes didn’t look as dull and exhausted as in recent days. Iris felt relieved. He caught her looking at him and smiled at her. She smiled back.
Next, she glanced at her mother-in-law. Huang Yuyan lost a lot of weight. Her complexion remained immaculate due to her religious intensive skincare regimen, but her eyes remained bloodshot caused by crying too much.
All of them wanted to respect Grandma Li’s final wishes. If the old lady only wanted them to be present, then it would only be them present. Nobody else. Your next journey awaits at Freewebnovel fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
