"Make a scene?"
"Immortal Lin, I wouldn't dare make a scene even if you gave me a hundred guts."
Hearing Ling Yun's rejection, He Wencan, who had always been respectful to Ling Yun and treated him as a distinguished guest, suddenly straightened his face and said seriously, "To tell you the truth, I called my lawyer, Mr. Weber, last night and asked him to prepare the legal documents and bring them over."
Ling Yun: "…"
She thought to herself that the old man was really efficient in handling matters.
It seemed like he hadn't followed his doctor's advice to rest well after treating the old master last night.
He Wencan then pointed to his house full of children. "Elder Immortal Lin, you can ask these children of mine. I, He Wencan, have lived by my word. My words are like spilled water. When have I ever taken them back?"
Ling Yun snickered in his heart. He knew that He Wencan had purposely said that in order to turn the tables on his children and shut them up in advance.
The old master's methods were indeed brilliant.
It had to be said that He Wencan had been at the top of Haojiang for more than half a century. There was a reason for that. However …
No matter how brilliant the old master's methods were, he wouldn't be able to shut his children's mouths.
At first, they couldn't help but retort when they heard the old master's words. However, when they saw that Ling Yun had rejected them immediately, they felt at ease.
However, when they heard the old master's insistence on giving Ling Yun ten percent of the shares, they couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Dad!"
His third son, He Caiming, rushed out and spoke in Haojiang dialect in a moment of desperation.
"Dad, to be honest, when you got into trouble this time, as your children, we know what we did was wrong. That's why we don't have much of an opinion on your arrangements, such as punishing the eldest and distributing the family assets.
"After all, the power of the family was ultimately given to Yu Qiong. She is smart and filial, and her ability to do business far surpasses us uncles. We all approve of her.
"Most importantly, Yu Qiong is a member of the He family. The blood of the He family flows through her veins!"
At this point, He Caiming didn't forget to nod at He Yuqiong in an ingratiating manner. Then, he turned his head to look at Ling Yun.
"But, this … Immortal Master Lin, he saved you, Yu Qiong, and our He Clan. Speaking of which, no matter how much we repay Immortal Master Lin, whether it's money or anything else, our He Clan should do our best to repay him."
"But … please forgive my son for speaking bluntly. Now that you have casually handed over the decision-making power in your hands to an outsider, what do you want us to think?"
Although He Caiming was very excited, he spoke with confidence and composure. After he finished speaking, he looked around and saw that all his brothers and sisters were nodding their heads as a silent show of support.
Indeed, the others didn't have to say anything, because even Ling Yun was smiling and nodding. Because what He Caiming said was the truth, it was human nature.
What's more, he had come here to fulfill a promise he had made with He Yuqiong. He Yuqiong had already paid the price back in the capital.
Ling Yun had healed the old master's body, which meant that he had fulfilled his promise.
This was called not owing each other anything.
Therefore, no one in the room spoke for a while. Everyone held their breath and waited for the old master to make his decision. "Oh."
He Wencan closed his eyes slightly and listened patiently to He Caiming's passionate speech. He nodded slowly and said, "Not bad, Third Brother is right. You've been smart since you were young, you're worthy of the name 'Ming' I gave you. "
"Phew!"
Many people in the room let out a long sigh of relief. They felt that the old master had finally been convinced by He Caiming and was going to change his mind.
He Caiming was even more proud. As long as he could protect the old master's ten percent shares, it would be a great achievement. In the future, his status in the He Clan would naturally surpass others.
"But, what do you know!"
Caught off guard, He Wencan suddenly glared at He Caiming and scolded him fiercely.
"Right now, the final decision of the He Clan is still in my hands. Since when did you have the right to criticize my decisions?"
The old master's gaze swept across the room like a hawk.
"But, I also know that you won't be able to accept it in a short period of time. So, I'll put it aside for now and discuss this matter later."
He Wencan's eyes widened and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Now, I'll first announce another matter, which is also the last matter of today."
"Other than my ten percent shares, you've all agreed to the plan of distribution of the other ninety percent shares, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. As the heir of the family, He Yuqiong could take forty percent of the old master's shares. It was not considered much. The other fifty percent would be divided equally among the branches. There was no need to fight for it.
"Very well."
"Then, it's settled!"
He Wencan nodded in satisfaction and gestured to He Yuqiong beside him to help him up.
He said loudly, "I hereby announce that from now on, Yuqiong is officially my heir and will be in charge of all the family businesses! From now on, all of you will work hard to help her manage the family business. Anyway, all of you will have a share of the shares. If she manages the business well, it will be good for all of you. "
Regarding this, everyone present had no objections. Because compared to the veto power given to Ling Yun just now, this was considered a small matter.
After the announcement, the old master sat down again and nodded to Weber beside him.
Hence, under everyone's witness, the two lawyers, Weber and Linda, took out the documents on the spot and handed them to He Wencan and He Yuqiong respectively. They signed their names and the handover was completed.
After everything was done, He Wencan and He Yuqiong nodded to each other as if they were relieved.
He Yuqiong had finally obtained the right to inherit the family and became the rightful new helmsman of the He Family.
Ling Yun watched from the side and smiled faintly. He thought to himself that the old master's trick was really slippery. It was a pity that he used Ling Yun as a shield.
"Immortal Lin."
At this moment, He Wencan bowed slightly to Ling Yun and said carefully, "I asked you to stay this time for another reason, which is to let you bear witness to this matter. Today, Yu Qiong has become the leader of the He Family, and my children have also agreed. If anyone dares to jump out in the future, Immortal Master Lin can teach them a lesson on my behalf."
Ling Yun: "…"
After pondering for a while, Ling Yun smiled and said, "I can't afford to do that on your behalf. However, if Miss Yuqiong needs my help in the future, I will definitely lend a hand."
"Good, good, good!"
He Wencan was very satisfied with this answer. He nodded repeatedly.
On the other hand, the He Family members in the living room were all embarrassed and anxious.
"Immortal Lin."
"Even though Yuqiong has never told me about your background, I was fortunate enough to meet a few people like you before and after Haojiang returned to the motherland more than ten years ago …"
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat.
F * ck, he is indeed a sly old fox. He has already guessed my identity at this time. No wonder he dared to give me that ten percent of the shares without fear.
Was there a need to ask? How could the Heavenly Team not come into contact with He Wencan before and after Haojiang returned to the motherland?
"Therefore, I can roughly guess Immortal Lin's real identity. I know that with your status, you definitely won't be greedy for the He Family's property. I'm not giving you this ten percent of the shares for free. I still need you to help Yuqiong protect the He Family's businesses and properties in the Nanyang countries. Otherwise, with the He Family's current relationship with the Nanyang Itinerant Cultivators Alliance, it would be wishful thinking to even keep those properties, let alone do business."
F * ck!
What a good deal!
Ling Yun thought to himself that He Wencan was definitely a sly old fox. His calculations were too precise.
He was indeed the Gambling King. This was a huge gamble!
He Wencan wasn't giving Ling Yun ten percent of the shares. He was asking for a free amulet for the He Family!
