Chapter 928: Orphanage
"All of the old gentleman’s children and close acquaintances knew about the will’s contents, but President Sun was beguiled by Xia Chun. Seeing her look pitiful every day, he enjoyed her dependence and never imagined that she would have the old gentleman alter the will."
Gong Chen’s tone deepened, clearly considering Xia Chun a calculating woman.
"Third Young Master, are you saying..."
"President Sun said he was also shocked when he found out about the will. He privately consulted a lawyer, who confirmed that the old gentleman indeed changed his will. However, on the night before his death, he called the lawyer, saying he wanted to revert the will, but no one expected he would die suddenly that night. The lawyer told President Sun that for some time, the old gentleman’s speech was incoherent, but that evening he spoke with unusual clarity. Yet, in any case, only the final version of the will could take effect." Gong Chen explained.
Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips lightly, "But President Sun doesn’t seem like someone who would take this lying down. With his wealth and power, investigating the matter should be easy. I think if Xia Chun was really up to something, it wouldn’t be so easy to fool everyone."
"What if President Sun was threatened? During their ambiguous interactions, Xia Chun left behind a lot of evidence. Once made public, Xia Chun, having nothing to lose, could ruin him. His losses would ensure he couldn’t inherit the family business." Gong Chen said.
"I see, no wonder Madame Gao mentioned that Xia Chun and President Sun had some connection. But after getting so much money, why did she have plastic surgery within a year and then go to Jing City?" Lin Zhiyi asked, puzzled.
Gong Chen said calmly, "Your assumption leans on Xia Chun doing it for money, but what if everything she did was aimed at going to Jing City?"
"This..."
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t answer.
Gong Chen: "If the plastic surgery is true, do you know who she resembles?"
"Who?"
