Su Xi felt a wave of emotions pass through her eyes when she heard the lawyer's words from her ears, "Yes, I'm his daughter. It is nice to see you after so long Mr. Boa. How have you been all these years?" Su XI politely asked as the lawyer nodded his head in acknowledgment 

"Please take a seat." Su Xi nodded her head as they both sat on the chair, with Gu Yan passing a smile to the lawyer. He was confused to see Gu Yan beside her, as Su Xi explained it to him. 

"He is my husband, Gu Yan. Maybe, you don't remember because it has been so many years and after... all you haven't come to the home for so many years!" Su Xi tried to explain to him because she knew that, it was possible for him to not know about her husband. It has been so long that he stopped coming to her homelike her other father's friend. 

But what could be the reason behind is this action?!

"Agreed. But still, it could have been much nicer for you to come to my house much before. Anyways you are still here at last." Su Xi frowned when he heard this from his mouth. 

'What does he mean that it should have come much earlier than before? Does he know something about my father and mother's death' she had this suspicion rose inside her heart but she can't ask him directly. 

It would seem too blunt to ask him if he knows the patent and she knows that she has to change the conversation into something else. Only, she can ask him something like this otherwise it might seem too awkward for her. 

The lawyer passed his son a look and he shook his hand with Gu Yan and Su Xi and left the room, to discuss their ratings and Su Xi was happy that she can talk freely around with the lawyer, personally as well. 

"Sir, I'm here to talk about my father's will. I know he is alive right now but I have heard that he had made a will before… My mother died, is that true?" Su Xi asked with a little hesitation in her voice as the lawyer nodded his head in one again. 

"You are right my child. Your father did make one will before your mother's death and trust me, I was too shocked to hear that he was saying at that time because, you see, one makes a will when they think that they will die but there wasn't any case like this with Su Zian at all!" 

A half and a broken smile came on her face. 'Only this means that he knew that his death is near and someone will try to take over his business assets. But who can it be other than his own brother?' 

"I see... But can we read that will once? It would be much help to us." she had no idea how to comprehend her situation to him. As expected, the lawyer shook his head in disagreement with her words 

"My child, I think you aren't aware that the will can be read aloud only when a person dies. But your father is still alive, or at least the rest of the world he is alive." Both Gu Yan and Su Xi became alert when they heard these words. 

Gu Yan was the first one, who understood the meaning. Su Xi was more in a state of shock but at the same time, he remained his calm expressions over.

"What do you mean by this sir? You mean to say that Elder master Su is alive only for the world?" something amiss was felt by both of them, as they both looked at each other with bewilderment expressions on their faces. 

Su Xi did not say anything at the moment and waited for an answer back from his side. But instead of answering, he chuckled and looked at Su Xi, "You are seriously his daughter, I should do this." 

A deep frown came on her face when she heard this. Of course, she is her father's daughter, there is no doubt in that but why does he sound like this as if this is the wrong thing?

"Like him, you are also too easily fooled. The same trait is there between an auger and the father." Su Xi gulped the leftover saliva in her mouth. She was on the verge of breaking down the other anxiety as the lawyer's words were too confusing for her to understand.

In the end, she controlled her curiosity and tried to see the expressions and actions. He took the nearby tea in the cup and sipped it. His eyes were trying to see through Su Xi's soul and she can feel the immense pressure over her shoulders but at the same time, she has no other option but not try to appear any weak.

"Su Xi, you were your father's princess. If you remembered, I used to visit you most of the weekends. Because your father and I were very close friends. I used to handle out the legal matters of the Su family and Su business as well.

But soon after, your father suddenly said that he doesn't need me anymore to handle his business and asked me to stay out?

As well as, when the company was doing, your mother died and I was expelled from my position. Instead of me, he appointed a new legal team which has no background or more like, he took someone who has zero experience as compared to me, why?

Because he wished to hide something… Zi was too confused but with time, things unfolded in such a manner that I understood that what Su Zian told me once came true. His words, the thing he was most afraid of, finally happened."
