Chapter 1068: Inheritance Turmoil
u Ke Xin was startled and looked up at Gu Chi, "Gu Chi, what's wrong with you"Gu Chi looked at her, his expression unreadable, he only said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I was just thinking, it would...Regarding the rumors, the studio managed to minimize the damage in a timely manner. There wasn't much loss, only that some onlookers still occasionally discuss everything that happened.
However, all of this had long been forgotten by Gu Ke Yu, since that day Jiang Ying Han never returned to the studio, and the script for "潛伏" could only be put on hold there.
Later, in order to quell the media frenzy, Gu Ke Yu's studio decided to temporarily shelve "Lurking" and hold auditions for the lead role among all the actors.
But for many days, she couldn't find a suitable director to take on this film. The studio is just a transit point; if you want to handle a large-scale production, it's completely impossible with the current scale.
Lu Jianyuan had already seen the rumors about Gu Ke's relationship with Jiang Yinhang at the time. Later, with his help, everything was finally suppressed. The two of them also had a rare opportunity to open up and have a good chat.
All of this seemed incredibly smooth for Gu Ke Yù, but Lu Ji Yán's heart still couldn't let her go, so he kept lowering his head again and again.
The studio's affairs had returned to normal, and Gu Ke Yu and his team were busy recruiting actors every day. They were also looking for a suitable director to helm this big production. The previous "Lurker" was a surprise hit, and if this one could be successfully produced, it would be entirely beneficial for their studio.
However, before the play was even filmed, Gu Ke Yu received a sudden phone call from Lu Ji Yan. Lu Yuan Zhan, who had been lying in the hospital for days, was almost at his limit. When Gu Ke Yu arrived, there was only one breath left in him.
"Ke Yu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to Jia Ying..."
Lu Yuanzhan held Gu Ke'yu's hand and said to the white ceiling, then he couldn't catch his breath, and the expression on his face instantly froze.
Gu Ke Yu's heart suddenly surged with a deep sense of regret. If she had arrived earlier, she might have been able to learn about her own origins. But now, with Lu Yuan Zhan's departure, everything became uncertain.
As soon as Lu Jiting and the others stood outside the hospital door, they immediately noticed something was wrong. Si Nian rushed forward in a flash, pouncing on Lu Yuanzhan's body and sobbing loudly.
Lu Jiyan and Lu Jiting stood by the bed, saying nothing. Their eyes, which had been holding back tears, instantly turned red. When Xie Qingqing arrived, Lu Yuanzhan's face was already covered with a white cloth.
"Well, you didn't leave me a single word even in death."
Xie Qingqing stared at Lu Yu zhan on the hospital bed with an impassive expression, her eyes showing no sign of emotion.
"When he left, did he say anything about the will" After a moment of silence, Xie Qingqing turned to face Lu Jiting and said.
"Mom! How can you be so cold and heartless My father just passed away!" Lu Jiting's face was full of disbelief, his voice raised several tones as he spoke to Xie Qingqing.
"So what" Xie Qingqing still glanced at Lu Yuanzhan, whose body was stiff on the bed, with an expressionless face. She turned to Lu Jiting and said coldly.
"Since everyone is already gone, I'm only concerned with the inheritance now!"
"Mom, how can you be so cold Your husband just passed away!" Lu Jiting's whole body was agitated, looking at Xie Qingqing's face full of surprise.
"Cold He and I have been married for so many years, has he ever treated me well If it wasn't for him, my life wouldn't be ruined this completely. You're now saying I'm cold!"
After she finished speaking, she leaned against the wall of the ward and laughed uncontrollably, tears welling up in her eyes but never falling.
Seeing that the ward was already quite chaotic, Lu Jiyan pressed his eyebrows and said to Xie Qingqing coldly: "Regarding inheritance matters, we'll have to discuss it with a lawyer after Dad's funeral. Since you don't want to stay here now, just get out."
The ward fell silent again, heavy with a melancholic sorrow. Only Si Nian was left, weeping uncontrollably, her heart breaking into pieces. Lu Yuanzhan's features remained peaceful, a hint of satisfaction gracing his lips. Gu Ke Yuyi wondered what thoughts had crossed his mind in his final moments.
As Lu Yuanzhan had been seriously ill before, his funeral arrangements had already been largely completed. From midnight onwards, everyone had stepped up their preparations. By the time dawn broke, he had already been transported to the cemetery outside the city.
Because of his words left behind, the funeral was held very low-key. Besides the company's old employees and some relatives, there were not many people attending. Everyone was dressed in uniform black attire. In this drizzle-filled early morning, a heavy sense of sadness enveloped everyone.
Everyone was suppressing their emotions, but only Si Nian was the first to cry. She even ran to the grave and cried so hard her heart felt like it was breaking.
In this solemn and heavy atmosphere, Xie Qingqing stood out particularly. She stood far from the tombstone, coldly watching everything. Her eyes were like stagnant water, without any ripples.
The simple yet solemn funeral had concluded by midday, and Gu Ke'yu and his party drove straight back to the villa.
Because everyone's body felt a bit uncomfortable after getting rained on, especially Lu Jiayan who seemed more fragile. Only under Gu Ke'yu's comfort could he muster half a stomach of appetite.
It wasn't until after midnight that Lü Jìyán, under Gu Kěyǔ's soothing, finally drifted off to sleep. Looking at his somewhat restless face, Gu Kěyǔ didn't close his eyes all night.
The next morning, as she was just falling asleep and hadn't quite woken up, she vaguely heard a commotion outside. Soon after, a maid came knocking on their door, urging them to wake up quickly.
By the time Gu Ke Yichen and his friends had gathered in the living room, a middle-aged man they didn't know was already seated there.
He is Lu Yuanzhan's former private lawyer. He came here today to announce the distribution of Lu Yuanzhan's estate.
Perhaps because a funeral had just been held, the entire house exuded a heavy sense of sorrow. Even the lawyer didn't say much; he simply took out all the contract documents from his briefcase.
"These two agreements are what Mr. Lu left for Miss and Madam, each of you has 7% of the company shares."
After finishing his explanation, the lawyer pushed the two agreements across to Xie Qingqing and her companions.
"Just this much, you want to fool me!" Xie Qingqing slammed the contract onto the table and said with some displeasure.
But the lawyer simply ignored her and pulled out two more documents, placing them before Lu Jiting and Lu Jiyan.se she cared about her. She shouldn't be so ungrateful.Holding Xiaomei's hand, Cheng Kexin said, "Xiaomei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get angry with you. I know you're doing this for my own good, but...
