87 When That Time Comes, She Will Fight with You for The Family Inheritance
At Yun Xi High School, Li Zexuan’s classmates swarmed up to him. His best friend, Sun Mingtao, pushed his way through the crowd to him.
“Aren’t you guys afraid that our star will suffocate from all the crowd? It’s so smelly.” Sun Mingtao covered his nose as he sat on his desk.
“The teacher is here. Everyone, please sit down.” The student who was standing guard behind the door ran in. Everyone dispersed at lightning speed.
Li Zexuan took a deep breath. Even the airport was not this crowded. The teacher started the class.
!!
As soon as the school bell rang, all the students gathered around again. Everyone started asking about the variety show. Li Zexuan felt his head buzzing. Finally, after school, he rushed to his dormitory.
Sun Mingtao was holding this week’s homework. “I’ve arranged everything for you. There are so many students surrounding you this afternoon. I know you don’t want me to say it, but as your friend, I have to remind you to be careful.”
“Do you have any constructive suggestions?” Li Zexuan asked as he lay on the bed.
“Your stepmother is still so young. She will definitely have children with your father in the future, and maybe more than one. When that time comes, she will fight with you for the family inheritance. I even risked watching the live broadcast. You guys prepared a program for her. Are you stupid?” Sun Mingtao had wanted to call Li Zexuan at that time, but he remembered that Lin Wan was also there. He didn’t want others to think he was deliberately trying to sabotage their relationship.
“Sun Mingtao, what are you saying?” Li Zexuan and Sun Mingtao were desk mates and roommates. From junior high school to high school, they shared a good relationship.
” I’m just reminding you out of kindness. I can tell that your father likes her a lot. How about this, go back and tell your father that he needs to divide the family property first. No matter how many children your stepmother has in the future, she can only get one share.” Sun Mingtao loved to read novels. He thought he understood how rich people coveted money and assets.
Li Zexuan picked up a pillow and threw it at him. “I’ve been so annoyed by you all this afternoon. Let me have some peace.”
“If you don’t listen to me, you will suffer. Just wait and see.” Sun Mingtao let out a long sigh. “How can your salary compare to Chenxin’s earnings, my big star?”
“Sun Mingtao, if you keep talking about this, it will make me very anxious and very annoyed. Those are all my father’s. He can split them however he wants.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll leave. Have a good rest.” Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Li Zexuan, Sun Mingtao walked out of the dormitory in a huff.
Lin Wan would not have a child with Li Yanchen. This was something that Li Zexuan had already thought about back in Lan village. If Lin Wan did have a baby and if it was a girl, Li Zexuan thought he would adore her. He had never had a sister before. As for the matter of the inheritance, Li Zexuan didn’t care. He could give it to whoever he wanted. But he didn’t think Li Yanchen was that heartless. Chenxin was his father’s company, after all.
Downstairs in the main entrance, Lu Wenqian held a box of chocolate and dialed the landline of Li Zexuan’s dormitory.
Li Zexuan, who had just closed his eyes, heard the dormitory phone ring and impatiently picked up.
“Li Zexuan? I’m Wenqian, I’m downstairs. Can you come down?” Lu Wenqian and Li Zexuan weren’t in the same class. So, it wasn’t easy for her to meet him. She had wanted to visit him after class but so many people had surrounded him that she didn’t even get a chance. She could only visit him at the male dormitory entrance.
Li Zexuan’s brows furrowed. “I’m sleeping. We will talk later.”
“Oh.” The girl, standing in the sun, pouted her lips. ‘Am I not his only female friend in Yun Xi High School? He doesn’t even want to see me!’
Sun Mingtao was just walking out of the entrance when he saw her. “Wenqian, are you here to see Li Zexuan?”
Lu Wenqian nodded. “He said he wanted to sleep and didn’t want to come downstairs. Can you give this to him? It doesn’t have many calories. My father brought it from country Y. I knew he was coming back today so I brought it for him.”
“Li Zexuan has a bad temper. He gave me a good scolding just now,” Sun Mingtao complained.
“I’ll treat you to a meal, then?” Lu Wenqian knew that Sun Mingtao was Li Zexuan’s best friend. She thought that if she could get along well with Sun Mingtao, she might be able to win Li Zexuan’s heart.
“In the canteen? Don’t get any food for Li Zexuan today, let him starve.” Sun Mingtao was really annoyed.
Lu Wenqian’s father, Lu Jie, was a well-known figure in Yun City. Lu Jie was the one who had donated to build the school’s library. Lu Wenqian was a sweet girl with outstanding grades. She was liked by her teachers and classmates. Almost everyone in Yun Xi High School knew that she was interested in Li Zexuan. However, Li Zexuan was cold and aloof. He liked no one. The only girl he ever interacted with was Lu Wenqian. Therefore, even though Li Zexuan did not agree to be her boyfriend, Lu Wenqian was still happy to chase after him.
In the canteen, the two of them ordered three dishes and a glass of bubble water.
“Did you remind Li Zexuan about the matter? His stepmother isn’t a good person. My mother says she is very pretty, and she even found an old, rich man to provide for her. She says Lin Wan must be after his money. My mum knows I like Li Zexuan but she is against it. She says that Li Zexuan’s family dynamics is too complicated.” Lu Wenqian and Sun Mingtao talked about almost everything.
“I did. That is why I got scolded.” Sun Mingtao had calmed down but now, Lu Wenqian’s words made him angry again.
“I just came back today. I came to your class but too many people were surrounding Li Zexuan. He must be in a bad mood because of that. Just talk to him some other time. We are really doing this for Xuanxuan’s good, anyway. He will be grateful, eventually.”
“Maybe in the afternoon. I felt like I was suffocating. The topic is sensitive so we need to talk about it carefully. Perhaps after a few days, he might be willing to talk about it.” He sighed. “Wenqian, did you get those chocolates only for Li Zexuan?” He pretended to be envious.
“Can’t you two eat it together? Oh right… Did you give the information to Xuanxuan? I still have more if it’s not enough.” Lu Wenqian asked as she stirred the soup with a spoon.
“Ten is not enough? Do you want to tire him to death? Every time, I become the scapegoat in the middle of you two. If you keep doing this, I will definitely break off our friendship.”
“Oh, stop whining! I’ll get you a steak next time.” Lu Wenqian grinned.
“You think I’m lying? Let’s eat first. I have to meet Weiwei in the computer room tonight.”
…
At Yunxi Junior High School, Li Zexin returned to the dormitory directly after arriving at school and didn’t show up in class.
At six, his roommates returned to their rooms. Seeing Li Zexin sitting in front of the desk, the three of them surrounded him. “Welcome back! Do you want to go out and play a few rounds tonight? I’ve never won without you.”
Li Zexin held his Chinese book in his hands. He had been memorizing the text for the entire afternoon. Although his mouth was dry, he had no intention of taking a break.
