Chapter 1151 - Treated Gently by Him (1/2)

50 billion in US dollars?

This figure shocked both Xiao Yi and Yi Ran to the core.

She was not allowed to go into the room to listen to the lawyer read the Old Madam’s will, but Xiao Yi agreed for her to come in so no one dared to say anything.

After all, the huge fortune of the Old Madam was to be inherited by Xiao Yi.

Yi Ran knew that the Old Madam was rich, but she did not expect her to be so rich. She had estimated it to be $10 billion at most, but now, there was $40 billion more.

Heart thumping wildly, Yi Ran’s heart was shocked and excited. She lowered her eyes, her pupils constricting as she tried hard to suppress the feelings in her heart.

Just when she was still immersed in the excitement and happiness, Xiao Yi’s next words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of her head.

“Old Madam, I’m not going to inherit your fortune.”

What?

Was Xiao Yi stupid?

He was not going to inherit such a large fortune?

The Old Madam was so rich and should be the richest person in S Country besides the Royal family. If you looked at the whole world, 50 billion dollars could be ranked in the top ten of Forbes World Billionaires!

Yi Ran dug her fingernails into her palms so hard that her skin almost broke.

But she could not say anything at this moment. She had to be patient.

She did not believe that Xiao Yi would really give up this huge amount of a.s.sets!

The Old Madam coughed weakly, her face pale. She called Xiao Yi to the bedside and held his hand with her old and wrinkled hand. “Xiao Yi, you’re your Aunt Qing’s most loved son. Who else would I leave this to if not for you? I don’t have much time left and I don’t know if I can make it to see tomorrow’s sunrise. My biggest wish now is for someone to inherit my family business and continue to expand my charity to help more people.”

Xiao Yi held the old lady’s bony hand and said thickly, “Please let me think about it.”

“Okay, I’ll give you one night to think about it.”

Nodding, Xiao Yi looked at the Old Madam’s eyes which were so dim, and he felt upset and a heaviness in his heart.

He had troubled Aunt Qing when he was young and now, how could he inherit Aunt Qing’s mother’s huge amount of fortune?

The Old Madam was tired and wanted to rest, so Xiao Yi and Yi Ran left her room.

The doctor said that the Old Madam’s days were numbered so the butler arranged for Xiao Yi and Yi Ran to stay in the house.

Yi Ran followed behind Xiao Yi and she could not help but asked softly, “Brother Xiao Yi, won’t the Old Madam be happier if you inherit her fortune and business?”

Turning to look at Yi Ran, Xiao Yi said, “I don’t have the Old Madam’s abilities. If the business she had worked so hard for all her life was to get destroyed in my hands, wouldn’t I be a sinner?”

Yi Ran wanted to reason with him, but it was apparent that Xiao Yi did not want to continue this topic as he pushed open his room’s door and went in.

Biting her lip, Yi Ran returned to her own room. What else could she do?

Why was Xiao Yi so stubborn?

No, he could not just say he did not want to inherit such a large fortune. With a hand on her abdomen, Yi Ran patted her stomach gently. Even if he did not want it, his son wanted it!

Yi Ran made a call and after discussing it with the person on the other end of the line, Yi Ran decided to hypnotize Xiao Yi again.

Yi Ran had thought about hypnotizing the Old Madam before and making the Old Madam leave her fortune to her, but after thinking further, it did not make sense to leave it to her. Yi Ran was just an orphan the Old Madam sponsored and although she was close to the Old Madam, it was not to the state where the Old Madam could completely trust her.

Besides, the Old Madam’s lawyer had studied psychology before. If she made even the slightest mistake, she might lose the game she had been working so hard on.
