Chapter 21 — After Losing 4 Billion Inheritance, I Made The Whole Family Look Up

He stopped. The voice suddenly became hoarse.

"And you guys."

"What are you doing?"

No one answered. Grandpa slowly looked towards To Kiet.

"You say it."

To Kiet stood dumbfounded. The sweat on his forehead has been pouring out for some time now.

"Grandpa..."

Grandpa interrupted.

"That lawyer's letter."

"Is it you who sent it?"

To Kiet turned pale. But silence was the answer. Grandpa looked at Tran Giai Di again.

"The things you do out there."

Tran Giai Di trembled. Fingers tighten the hem of the skirt.

"I just want to help Kiet..."

A table-slamming sound rang out. The teacup on the table shook vigorously. This is the first time since being discharged from the hospital. Grandpa got really angry.

"Is that called helping?"

"Slandering others."

"Destroying people's businesses."

"Also called helping?"

No one in the room dared to breathe loudly. Trieu Ngoc Lan wanted to say something. But just opened his mouth. Was blocked by grandfather's eyes. He looked around. Old eyes. But strangely sharp.

"Today's meeting."

"Let's come here."

"There is no sharing of shares."

"There's no asking for money either."

"If anyone dares to mention this again."

"Then don't step foot into the To family."

The air in the room immediately froze. Trieu Ngoc Lan seemed to be struck by lightning.

"Why dad?"

"She has tens of billions!"

"How about sharing a little?"

Grandfather looked at her. Then say each word.

"Because it's his money."

"Not even a penny is yours."

He slowly leaned back in his chair. Like just ten short minutes. He has aged a few years. To Kha Kha stood in the middle of the living room. Still holding the file in hand. But she knows. This battle. It's over. It was the end for the To family. Only thing. No one knows. In that file. There remains one final document. A document that To Niem Van instructed. Temporarily not retrieved. Grandfather still sits in the chair position. From start to finish. He didn't say a word. But the hand placed on the armrest of the chair was clenched so tightly that blue veins appeared. The entire living room was engulfed in a stuffy atmosphere. No one dared to speak up. No one knows what to say. Because everything has been thrown into the light. Lies. And even the hidden calculations behind it. Grandpa slowly stood up. Movement is very slow. So slow that everyone looked towards him. He looked at To Kiet. His voice was hoarse.

"This report..."

"Is it true?"

To Kiet trembled.

"Grandpa..."

"Is it true or not?"

His voice suddenly became higher. To Kiet bit his lip. Sweat dripped down his forehead. It's been a long time. In the end, he still didn't dare to deny it.

"...It's true."

The whole room immediately exploded.

"Did you really do that?"

"To Kiet, is this true?"

Everyone's faces changed simultaneously. If talking about fighting over property is just a domestic matter. The story related to the civil service exam is completely different. That's the money. Is the future. It is an absolute limit that cannot be touched. Trieu Ngoc Lan immediately jumped up.

"Not!"

"It's not what everyone thinks!"

"Just previewing some simulation questions!"

"It's not a real exam question!"

But that explanation made everyone's faces even more unsightly. Grandpa closed his eyes. A very long time. When I opened my eyes again. In his eyes there was only disappointment.

"I give you 400,000,000 yuan."

"It's because I think you are The one with the most potential."

"It's because I think you're bright and righteous."

"It's because I think you're worth trusting."

He looked at him. The voice became lower and lower.

"But it turns out..."

"The most confused person."

"It's me again."

To Kiet's face turned pale.

"Grandpa..."

"I know it's wrong..."

"I really know it's wrong..."

But this time. Grandpa didn't look at him anymore. He turned his head to look at me. That look. For the first time in many years. It's no longer an evaluation. No longer a negation. But guilt.

"Nien Van."

He called my name. I stood still. He opened his mouth. Want to say something. But in the end, I couldn't say it. The corners of the old eyes turned red.

"From small to large."

"I always thought I understood you best."

"But it turns out..."

"You never understood me."

The whole room was silent. I looked at the very old grandfather in front of me. The person who used to carry me to buy gourd candy. People once said I was a treasure of the To family. He was also the person who personally announced that he would leave all 400,000,000 yuan to To Kiet. A lot of emotions welled up. But in the end. I just said softly:

"It's over."

He shook his head.

"Not over yet."

"For you, it may be over."

"But not yet for you."

He put his hands on the table. Slowly stand up straight. Under everyone's surprised eyes. He took out a file from the drawer next to him. Put it down on the table.

"From today."

"The property is in your name."

"Pause all transfer procedures."

"The law firm will handle it again."

Trieu Ngoc Lan almost fell off the chair.

"What did you say?!"

"The property has already changed names!"

"Dad can't do that!"

To Kiet's face also changed.

"That's the legacy you promised me!"

Grandpa looked at the two of them. His eyes were cold as ice.

"Promise me."

"It doesn't mean that it's given to you and you can do whatever you want."

"If a person cannot even maintain his virtue."

"What qualifications do you have to keep 400,000,000 yuan?"

To Kiet completely collapsed.

"You are wrong!"

"I really know it's wrong!"

But grandpa didn't listen anymore. He just looked at me. Then he said something that made the whole room go silent.

"Nien Van."

"You owe me an apology."

That moment. No one said anything. Because everyone understands. It's really changed. I looked at him. The grandfather was over eighty years old. White hair. The back, which was once very straight, is now slightly bent. In that moment. I suddenly remembered many past events. Remembering my childhood years. He carried me on his shoulders to the market. I remember the first time I brought home an excellent student certificate. He was so happy that he put 50 yuan in my hand and said:

"Your granddaughter is the best."

Remember the times he stood up to protect me. Before everything changed. Before you started trusting other people's words more than you trust me. I breathed out softly.

"From start to finish."

"What I want has never been 400,000,000 yuan."

"I just want you to trust me for once."

The whole room was silent. No one expected me to say that. I looked straight into his eyes.

"From small to large."

"I always try to prove myself."

"Pass the exam to a good school."

"Open your own company."

"Make your own money."

"Take care of your family."

"I thought I just needed to do well enough."

"You will see."

"But it turns out it's not."

My voice is still very calm. But the rims of his eyes were red.

"The day he announced that he would leave all his assets to To Kiet."

"What makes me Sadly it's not that amount of money."

"It's when you ask: 'What about me?'"

"You don't even have to think."

"He replied that you weren't worth it."

His hands trembled.

"To Kiet can receive your trust."

"And you."

"No matter how many things you do."

"In his eyes, he is still just a girl opening a small office."

"Since that day."

"I understand."

"There are some things that you can't change even if you try your whole life."
