Chapter 732: Taking Over as Head of the Family

anquan to take good care of Li Mo Fan, the incompetent junior apprentice, and Yang Qing'er, the meek younger sister....The old man was about to die peacefully when he was murdered by his two beloved d...A heavy air of mourning permeated the Qin family mansion.

Fang Yu was like an outsider, witnessing Qin Wudao's disciples weeping bitterly. Qin Wudao's body was placed in a coffin, which was then put in the mourning hall for people to pay their respects.

Judging by the extent of the Qin family's grief, Qin Wudao's descendants are quite filial.

Of course, there were definitely some performances that were insincere, but Fang Yu didn't bother to observe them closely because it wouldn't have been meaningful.

After everything was completed following Qin Wudao's passing, the core members of the Qin family, including the lawyer hired by Qin Wudao, were called to a room.

There were fourteen people in the room, including the lawyer and Fang Yu.

Qin Wudao's eldest son is Qin Changlong, and his wife is Liang Huarong. This couple has two sons and one daughter: Qin Wei, Qin Zhen, and Qin Xiaolu.

The second son, Qin Wei Chao, and his wife Cao Xue, have only one daughter, Qin Yi Mo.

San Zi Qin Jianjun, his wife He Hong, this couple has only one son, Qin Lang.

The fourth son, Qin Bin, was adopted by Qin Wudao and is still unmarried and childless.

These people are the core members of the Qin family.

Among them, Fang Yu had met most of them, but he didn't know much about their relationships.

"Everyone is here, and now I will read Mr. Qin's last will and testament. If anyone has any questions during the reading, please don't hesitate to ask," the lawyer said, holding a document in his hand.

"Hold on!"

The lawyer hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted.

The speaker is Qin Xiaolu.

She was the youngest in the room, looking to be only in her early twenties. She was dressed stylishly and had makeup on, clearly having been called back from a night out.

At this moment, she pointed at Fang Yu and asked, "Who is this person How could he be standing here"

"He is Fang Yu, Mr. Fang, and also the witness appointed by Mr. Qin to read his will." The lawyer smiled faintly.

"Fang Yu! I've never even heard of his name! Besides, he's an outsider. How could he possibly be involved in such an important matter within our family" Qin Xiaolu frowned, her expression displeased.

Qin Xiaolu's two older brothers, Qin Wei and Qin Zhen, also stared at Fang Yu, their faces full of suspicion.

None of them had ever seen Fang Yu, as they rarely interacted with Qin Wudao and hadn't heard the name Fang Yu.

"Mr. Fang is Grandpa's friend," Qin Lang said.

Qin Xiaolu looked at Qin Lang, frowning and said: "Friend Cousin, don't talk nonsense. This person doesn't look older than me, how could he be Grandpa's friend"

"Shut up! Your grandpa appointed him as the executor, so he has the right!" At this moment, Qin Xiaolu's father, Qin Changlong, said in a deep voice.

Seeing her father speak, Qin Xiaolu closed her mouth, but her gaze toward Fang Yu still held suspicion and hostility.

Fang Yu remained unmoved.

It's perfectly normal for these children not to recognize him. After all, Fang Yu last visited the Qin family when they were either not born yet or just clueless little kids.

However, Qin Wudao's three sons and his daughter-in-law, as well as his adopted son Qin Bin, had actually met Fang Yu.

But these people didn't greet Fang Yu proactively, as if they didn't know him at all.

"Then, I will begin to read Mr. Qin's last will and testament." The lawyer glanced at the crowd and said.

No one else objected.

"The first item in Mr. Qin's will concerns the position of head of the Qin family," the lawyer read aloud.

At this, the faces of all present changed.

Qin Changlong and his wife stood straight, Qin Jianjun and his wife stared intently at the lawyer, while Qin Bin lowered his head.

The only ones who didn't show much emotion were Qin Yimo and her family. They all had their heads down, still immersed in the grief of Qin Wudao's death.

Fang Yu saw the expressions of these people in his eyes.

"The head of the family will be inherited by Miss Qin Yimo." The lawyer continued to read.

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the room except Fang Yu and the lawyer changed.

Qin Yimo inherits the position of head of the family!

This is like skipping a whole generation!

The eldest son is Qin Changlong, the second son is Qin Weichang, the third son is Qin Jianjun, and the adopted son is Qin Bin!

Were these four Mesozoic eras just ignored

The head of the family is actually inherited by Qin Yimo

She is not only young, but also a girl!

How could Qin Wudao possibly make such an arrangement!

"Lawyer Chen, are you sure you didn't misread it" Qin Changlong stared at Lawyer Chen and asked in a deep voice.

Mr. Chen raised his head, pushed up his glasses, and said, "This is Mr. Qin's true intention, and the real content of the will. There has been no alteration whatsoever."

"This is impossible! How could Grandpa pass the position of head of the family to her" Qin Xiaolu's face darkened, she said.

Everyone else looked at Lawyer Chen, their faces full of disbelief.

Lawyer Chen remained impassive, flipping the file in his hand over to present it to everyone.

“If you don’t believe me, you can come forward and take a look. The signature on top is Mr. Qin’s own handwriting. Besides, I also have the video recording of Mr. Qin making his will here,” said Lawyer Chen. “If you need it, I can play that footage right now.”

"Let it go! You must let it go!" Qin Xiaolu shouted.

"Okay." Attorney Chen nodded, turned around, and took out a laptop computer from his briefcase.

When Lawyer Chen was operating the computer, everyone present had different expressions.

Qin Xiaolu and Qin Wei Qin Zhen glared at Qin Yimo with displeasure.

And Qin Changlong and his wife, as well as Qin Jianjun and his wife, looked at Qin Weichou and his wife with complicated eyes.

Qin Lang looked at Qin Yimo, his face full of surprise and joy.

Only Qin Bin lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Fang Yu looked at Qin Bin, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Before Qin Wudao passed away, he said that the Qin family not only had enemies outside but also problems within.

Internal problems are most likely caused by issues with these children.

Otherwise, Qin Wudao would not have directly passed the position of head of the family to Qin Yimo.

This approach undoubtedly puts Qin Yimo in a precarious position, subjecting her to much scrutiny and hostility. Qin Wudao couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

But he knew the consequences, yet he still did it. There must be his reasons.

“Before he passed away, Xiao Qin either didn’t have the energy to explain things clearly to me, or maybe he himself hadn't figured out which specific part or person was responsible… He asked me to be a witness. On one hand, it was to keep an eye on Qin Yimo. On the other hand, it was probably to give me the opportunity to observe this group of people up close.” Fang Yu thought.

In the footage, Qin Wudao is lying in bed.

As soon as they saw the aged face, Qin Yimo and Qin Lang couldn't help but their eyes welled up with tears.

And the other three young people, Qin Wei, Qin Zhen, and Qin Xiaolu, remained impassive, showing no sign of sadness.

"After my death, the head of the family... will be passed on to Yimo." Qin Wudao said in the recording.

Though his voice was low and raspy, his words were clear.

"This is the video footage of Mr. Qin making this will, does anyone have any further questions" Attorney Chen retracted his laptop and asked.

After watching the video, no one spoke again.

But their expressions at this moment were very telling.

Qin Changlong and Qin Jianjun, the two couples, had faces that were extremely pale.

And Qin Weichao and his wife looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

They originally thought they had no chance at all.

Who would have thought, reality turned out to be so unexpected.

Qin Wudao actually passed the position of head of the family to Qin Yimo!

And at this moment, Qin Bin was still bowing his head, his expression unreadable.

But Fang Yu noticed that his right hand was clenched into a fist.

But as the new head of the Qin family, Qin Yimo showed no joy on her face at all.

She looked up at Lawyer Chen and said, "Lawyer Chen, please continue to read the rest of the content."

"Okay, then I'll continue." Attorney Chen nodded.

Then, in the eerie atmosphere, Attorney Chen continued to read the contents following the will.

After the will, there are just some last words of advice.

Qin Yimo and Qin Lang listened very attentively, but the others were not so focused, each lost in thought with varied expressions.

To them, the most important thing in the entire will was the selection of the head of the family.

Whoever becomes the head of the family will control all of the Qin family's current assets and become the leader of the family.mes!They... are flying rapidly towards Fang Yu's location!Just then, that intangible force of constraint reappeared.Under the gaze of insight, he could clearly see the outline of a large hand, clutchi...
