Chapter 1241 Heir

Xu Jiaan said, "Jiawen, this is not a question of whether we want it or not. The key is that our father definitely doesn't think this way. His love for us siblings is the same, without distinction. How can Chunliang give up family affection for such a small amount of money?"

At this time, Zhen Chun walked in from outside: "If my cousin didn't care about family affection, he shouldn't have cared about your family's mess. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, don't drag my mother into everything. My mother has never thought of fighting for my cousin's property. Mom, let's go back to the room."

Liang Lixin asked, "How can you, little girl, talk to your elders?"

Zhen Chun said, "Grandpa just left and you all couldn't wait to come out and divide the family property. I heard that my cousin was generous enough to you. It's you who are greedy. Changshan Hospital originally belonged to my cousin. Grandpa only held shares on his behalf. You actually want to divide his shares. It's too much."

Liang Linan said: "How can a small section-level cadre like him get so much money? Is it corruption? If he is noticed by the disciplinary inspection department, he will be in big trouble. If he makes me angry, I will report him!"

Zhen Chun was so angry that her face turned red: "Mom, you heard what he said, don't go along with them."

"Who are you talking about?"

There was a chaos in the villa, but Xu Chunliang was too lazy to care about it and let the Liang family sue. In the end, they would only be embarrassed. However, through this incident, he saw clearly the selfish faces of his aunt's family. Family affection was so cold in the face of money. Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Xu Chunliang asked Lu Qi to go with him, because he had very little information about Zheng Pei'an's marriage, and he was not sure whether the person who came was real or fake.

Before Lu Qi arrived at Changshan Hospital, he had already contacted the police in Nanjiang. Zheng Pei'an's ex-wife did not go to Nanjiang to identify the body. Instead, the Nanjiang police contacted a woman named Ma Fangping. Ma Fangping said on the phone that she would go to Nanjiang in the near future, but no one expected that she would go directly to Dongzhou.

Ma Fangping is 39 years old this year. He is dark and thin, with regular facial features. At this moment, he is sitting on the sofa in the reception room. Next to him is a boy of about six or seven years old. He has a big head and yellow skin. He seems to be malnourished. He doesn't speak and is climbing up and down the sofa by himself.

Every once in a while, the boy would grab a piece of candy from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, quickly stuff it into his mouth, and then go back to playing by himself.

Gu Houyi had been chatting with Ma Fangping for a while and had initially concluded that although the other party did not like to talk, she had a very clear mind. Her purpose of coming here today was very clear, which was to bring her son to inherit Zheng Peian's inheritance.

Xu Chunliang and Lu Qi walked into the reception room together. Gu Houyi breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he wanted to deny Zheng Peian's shares, but he had no way to confirm the other party's identity. Seeing Lu Qi coming, he understood that the first problem Xu Chunliang wanted to solve was the same as his own, which was to clarify the other party's identity first.

Seeing a stranger coming in, the little boy hurried back to Ma Fangping's side, trying hard to hide his thin body behind her, obviously a little shy.

Xu Chunliang smiled at him, then looked at Ma Fangping and said, "Hello, are you Zheng Pei'an's ex-wife?"

Ma Fangping nodded, took out a stack of photos from her blue and white tie-dyed bag and handed them to Xu Chunliang: "These are our wedding photos."

Xu Chunliang took a look and said that they were wedding photos, that is, photos taken during the wedding ceremony. Zheng Pei'an and Ma Fangping wore Miao costumes and held their wedding happily. However, this did not seem to prove anything. Nowadays, many scenic spots have the service of experiencing the wedding with ethnic minority characteristics. It is impossible to prove their marriage relationship with just a few photos.

Xu Chunliang handed the photo to Lu Qi.

After Lu Qi looked through them one by one, he asked, "Have you ever obtained a marriage certificate?"

Ma Fangping shook her head and said, "No, but many people in our village drank at the wedding, and they can testify."

Lu Qi felt a bit of a headache. This type of marriage was really troublesome. His eyes fell on the boy: "Is he your son?"

Ma Fangping knew what he wanted to ask: "Yes, my and Zheng Pei'an's son, his name is Ma Xiaodong."

Lu Qi asked: "Do you have a birth certificate?"

Ma Fangping nodded and showed him Ma Xiaodong's birth certificate. The father's information was missing, which meant that Ma Fangping was a single mother.

Xu Chunliang took a quick look and asked, "Did he know he had this son before he died?"

Ma Fangping shook her head and said, "I don't know. We separated a few days after we got married. Later I found out I was pregnant. I gave birth to the child secretly, and he never knew about the child."

  "Even if what you said is true, we still need to confirm his blood relationship with Zheng Pei'an." Lu Qi felt a little strange. Ma Fangping and her son looked like they lived in ordinary conditions. Didn't she ever think of asking Zheng Pei'an for child support over the years? Was she willing to raise the child alone?

Ma Fangping said: "No problem, it's his child. I'm willing to cooperate with any investigation you want to do."

Gu Houyi called Tang Mingmei and asked her to help settle Ma Fangping and her son in a nearby hotel. Lu Qi contacted the Nanjiang police, mainly to extract DNA and verify the father-son relationship between Ma Xiaodong and Zheng Peian.

After Ma Fangping and her son left, Gu Houyi said, "Chunliang, what do you think we should do?" In fact, Zheng Peian had intended to withdraw his shares before, but Xu Changshan insisted on not allowing him to do so, otherwise there would not have been the problem today.

Xu Chunliang said: "If it is proven that Ma Xiaodong is Zheng Pei'an's son, we can give them the shares. If they don't want the shares, we can convert them into cash. In short, they won't lose out."

Gu Houyi thought so too, but he was more inclined to the latter. Since the man brought his son to the hospital, it was most likely Zheng Pei'an's. As the manager of the hospital, Gu Houyi did not want any major fluctuations in the equity structure. Compared with Zheng Pei'an's 10%, Xu Changshan's 60% was the bulk, and how it was distributed would determine the future direction of Changshan Hospital. Gu Houyi said, "Chunliang, there won't be any changes to the old man's shares, right?"

Xu Chunliang said: "There won't be any changes."

Gu Houyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Lu Qi completed the formalities and went to the hotel to find Ma Xiaodong to take samples, he found that the mother and son had disappeared. After asking the hotel, he heard that the mother and son left not long after staying there, which made the incident a little confusing.

Many people believe that Ma Xiaodong is not Zheng Pei'an's son at all. It must be that Ma Fangping felt guilty when she heard that the police wanted to do a DNA test, so she left before the truth was revealed.

Although Lu Qi also felt that this was a possibility, he still followed the principle of evidence and found cups used by the child and fallen hair in the hotel, hoping to find some clues.

Xu Chunliang's dominance made her aunt's family reconsider the issue of property distribution. Regarding the inheritance, Xu Jiawen has made it clear that she chooses to give up. She will return to Nanjiang for a few days accompanied by her daughter Zhen Chun, and will come back to burn paper on the 57th day of her death. Of course, the reason why she decided to leave so quickly was because she did not want to be tied down by her eldest sister's family.

As soon as Xu Jiawen left, Xu Jiaan's family lost the courage to stay alone. They knew very well that it would be difficult for Xu Chunliang to compromise. Liang Shude began to contact lawyers and prepared to sue Xu Chunliang.

When Xu Chunliang faced the villa alone, he could not help feeling lost. He suddenly understood why his grandfather sometimes preferred to stay in the hospital rather than go home alone. He also had to face a cruel reality: the person who cared about him the most in the world was gone.

At night, Xu Chunliang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He seemed to hear some noise outside, so he got up, put on his clothes and went outside. The lights in the living room were on, and there was a slim figure sitting on the sofa.

Xu Chunliang frowned: "Why are you sneaking into my house in the middle of the night?"

The other person sighed softly and said, "I wanted to attend the old man's funeral, but I was afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble if I showed up in public in my current situation." She turned slowly, revealing her fair and cold profile. It was Bai Lan whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Xu Chunliang said: "I appreciate it, thank you."

Bai Lan picked up the bottle and poured a glass of wine. The wine was Xu Chunliang's. She had just been drinking alone. There were two glasses. She knew that Xu Chunliang would come over when he heard the noise.

Xu Chunliang took the wine she handed over, sat down opposite him and took a sip.

Bai Lan looked at him carefully. It might be because he had not taken care of his appearance in the past two days. Xu Chunliang looked much more haggard and weathered. His black beard covered his cheeks and lips, adding a bit of wildness to his appearance, which made him look deeply charming.

Bai Lan asked, "Are you lonely?"

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Bai Lan said softly: "When people are alone, their minds are often the clearest."

Xu Chunliang said: "You are lonely too."

Bai Lan sighed and said, "You know my past. At first, loneliness scared me, but later, loneliness made me stronger. I started to get used to loneliness and enjoy it. Only when I am alone can I maintain my strong fighting spirit and creativity."

Xu Chunliang said: "Many of your works were written in this state?" Bai Lan also has another important identity as a writer.

Bai Lan said: "It is impossible for a person who lives a life of luxury to write great works. This can be verified in the history of literature. In fact, no one can escape loneliness in the end of their life."

Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you for your comfort."

Bai Lan said, "I'm not here to comfort you." She put down her wine glass, leaned forward, and whispered, "I learned about the situation at that time. The old man's death was not an accident."

Xu Chunliang's eyes shone: "Do you have any clues?"

Bai Lan said: "There are many experts in the professional killer industry, and their methods are different. The most sophisticated method is to create accidental killings."

"how to say?"

“It’s about making full use of the surrounding environment to design scenes of accidental death.”
