1 Inheritance

"I, Huo Feng, have carefully considered and decided to hand over all my assets, including all the shares of the Huo Group, my savings and real estate to my granddaughter, Huo Man..."

 A lawyer in a suit stood in front of Old Master Huo's portrait and read the contents of his will solemnly.

These words caused a huge uproar. Huo Man's inheritance soon became the center of attention.

Huo Man, on the other hand, seemed calm and silent as she gazed at Old Master Huo's portrait.

She was forced to live in the countryside by the Huo Family for a long time, but she was still called back to attend Old Master Huo's funeral.

Huo Man was also a little confused about this. After all, the Huo Family had always disliked her.

However, she had never expected the Huo Family to put on such a big show at the funeral.

"There must be a mistake somewhere!" Huo Yan, Huo Man's sister, was the first to lose her cool.

Her scream awakened and shocked the crowd. "How could Grandfather leave all his inheritance to this country bumpkin? She is the jinx of the Huo Family! Grandpa would never do that!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Cheng, the father of Huo Yan and Huo Man, rolled his eyes at her. Then, he looked at the lawyer politely and said, "Lawyer Chen, are you mistaken? My father didn't write this will when he was unconscious, right?"

"To prove that this will is correct, Old Master Huo left a video as evidence," Lawyer Chen said with a smile.

After that, Lawyer Chen took out his tablet and played the video of Old Master Huo reading the will in front of everyone.

His words were clear and logical. It seemed that Old Master Huo was determined to leave his inheritance to Huo Man.

"Mr. Huo, do you have any other objections?" Mr Chen looked at Huo Cheng's pale face and asked.

Huo Cheng's brain was buzzing. This was something he had never expected.

When the guests saw this scene, they couldn't help but think of Old master Huo as a sly old fox. The will he had left behind before his death caught the Huo Family off guard.

Of course, Lawyer Chen didn't understand why Old Master Huo wanted to leave all his inheritance to the infamous jinx of the Huo Family, Huo Man. However, he complied with the old man's orders and did as he was told.

He walked up to the composed woman and handed her a pen. "Miss Huo, if you have no objections, you can sign the will now. Once you sign it, you'll be able to inherit all of Huo Family's assets. "

Instead of taking the pen, Huo Man read the terms on the will and pointed at the contents. "Lawyer Chen, what is the meaning of this?"

Lawyer Chen glanced at the part Huo Man pointed out and explained, "Miss Huo, this is the condition for the inheritance of the will. Old Master Huo and Old Master Shen had reached an agreement whereby you get the inheritance on the day you marry Young Master Shen."

It was as if lightning had struck every one present.

The Huo Family had definitely not expected things to develop this way. If Huo Cheng and his wife, Liang Yu, had not stopped them, their son and daughter would have rushed forward to tear the will in Lawyer Chen's hands.

"Huo Man! What kind of drug did you use to bewitch Grandpa?"

"Why would Grandfather leave everything to you and even let you marry Shen Bei? You're not worthy of him!"

Huo Yan was the most spirited among all of them.

The Young Master of the Shen family, wasn't that Shen Bei? The Shen Family headed the big three families, the richest in the country and the son-in-law of the rich in the eyes of everyone. There was an unending list of women who wanted to marry him.

However, why was such a proud Son of Heaven arranged to marry Huo Man, a country bumpkin?

Was Old Master Huo crazy, or was it Old Master Shen?

The crowd could not comprehend what was going on. However, they were yet to receive the actual surprise. 

Before everyone could recover from this shocking will, Huo Man made her answer clear. "I don't agree."

Huo Man had rejected the terms of the will without hesitation. It seemed that she did not care about Shen Bei at all.
