Chapter 434: The Will

husband's identity. You said before that your husband is just an ordinary person, but now you're saying he's friends with Mr. Lu..."Fu Xiaoyao's expression stiffened slightly, her heartstrings tighte..."No, but she stressed that you'd take it very seriously when you heard it." Ju Mu described what Qi Ya had meant.

Lu Hanchuan coldly scoffed, "What makes her think I'd care"

Qiao Mu shrugged, "I don't know about that. Looking at her expression, she seems very confident."

"Hmph!" Lu Hanchuan snorted disdainfully, walked to a door and stopped, raising his leg and kicking it open with a thud.

The people inside were startled by the sudden burst of the door and cried out.

Qi Ya directly threw herself into Qi Dongming's arms.

Qi Dongming patted her on the back comfortingly, "Xiao Ya don't be afraid, it's okay, it's Han Chuan who came."

"Hanchuan" Qi Ya raised her head from Qi Dongming's arms and looked toward the door. She saw two figures standing there, with Lu Hanchuan in the lead and Qiao Mu behind him.

Qi Ya let out a long sigh, and the frightened heart calmed down gradually.

It wasn't that she was timid, but since she was taken away by the Tangshan people, she had been subjected to constant torment. Coupled with yesterday's events, now even a slight breeze or rustle of leaves sent her into an instinctive state of fear.

"Hanchuan, you're here." Qi Ya's face was still a little pale, but she forced out a smile at Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan was too lazy to greet her. He scanned the room, his eyes landing on two files on the tea table. He walked towards them.

He stopped before the tea table and slightly bent over to pick up the two documents. "Why don't you sign them"

He looked at the father and daughter before him, who had always broken their promises, his eyes full of coldness.

Qi Dongming was a little scared, beads of sweat trickling down his temples, he stammered: "I... I signed..."

"What" Qi Ya was stunned, then incredulously shouted at him, "You signed When did you sign"

Lu Hanchuan's deep pupils flashed a hint of darkness. He also wanted to know this.

Before Mingming arrived, Auntie Song had said that Qi Dongming refused to sign. How come he signed now

Lu Hanchuan was very interested in the changes, his sharp eyes fixed on Qi Dongming, without moving for a long time.

Qi Dongming's stooped shoulders shrank even further, and he even lowered his head, not daring to meet Lu Hanchuan and his daughter's gaze.

"I... I signed it while you were in the bathroom." He replied nervously.

Qi Ya almost fainted in anger, “Dad!”

What on earth is going on

Why has Dad become like this, so timid and afraid

He wasn't like this before.

At this moment, Qi Ya couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment towards Qi Dongming in her heart. She resented her father for becoming so weak and useless.

Qi Ya's annoyance towards Qi Dongming was evident, not escaping the notice of Lu Hanchuan and Qi Dongming himself.

Qi Dongming was both shocked and furious. He couldn't believe that his daughter, whom he had humbled himself to beg for help, would actually despise him.

He had become weak and compromising, but this wasn't what he wanted. Who would have thought he was almost tortured beyond recognition, especially mentally, on the verge of collapse

He has been kept here these days, unable to even leave his room. All the windows in the room have been boarded up by someone, using planks of wood, to prevent him from having any chance of escaping.

Because the windows and doors were all sealed up, he couldn't see outside, and sunlight couldn't shine in. This resulted in the room being not only damp but also gloomy. If he didn't turn on the lights, it would be like night, with nothing visible.

And he had spent many days in this life where day and night were indistinguishable, with no one paying him any attention, nor anyone coming to his rescue. It was so quiet that it seemed like there was only him left in the whole world. He was consumed by darkness, swallowed whole, until he became this haggard and miserable figure.

"That's interesting!" Lu Hanchuan suddenly spoke, breaking the eerie silence in the room.

He never expected that a single word from him would spark conflict between the father and daughter, creating a rift between them.

He still thought their father-daughter relationship was so good, it turns out it wasn't that great after all.

Lu Hanchuan patted Qi Dongming's face with the signed transfer agreement. "Qi Dongming, since you've already signed it, from this moment on, all your assets belong to me. I'll arrange for an audit of your assets. If anything is missing, you'll have to pay double."

This action was undoubtedly humiliating, once again throwing Qi Dongming's face and dignity to the ground.

Qi Dongming's heart was filled with humiliation and hatred, but he dared not show it. He could only lower himself and remain silent.

Lu Hanchuan felt it was boring, so he handed the transfer certificate to Qiao Mu behind him. Then he picked up Qi Ya's unsigned transfer certificate and came to her.

"Why won't you sign Give me a reason I can accept, if you can't, I'll have them drag you into signing it." Lu Hanchuan pinched Qi Ya's chin and leaned close to her face, his voice cold.

Qi Ya shivered, her heart pounding in her chest. Though frightened, she forced a calm expression on her face. "Han Chuan, it's not that I don't want to sign. I know that if I fall into your hands, I have to sign anyway. But this time, I really can't sign. I've already made a will and had it notarized. You know how binding a will is. Even if I sign a property transfer agreement, it would be useless with the will in place."

Lu Hanchuan's hand clenching her chin tightened suddenly, as if he wanted to crush it. Her expression twisted in pain, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Lu Hanchuan's expression was one of pure disgust. He didn't even bother to ask questions, swiftly snapping her chin away and straightening his body. He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and began meticulously cleaning his fingers, as if they were contaminated with some virulent poison. Qi Ya’s eyes burned with fury and humiliation.

Did he really dislike her this much Did he truly despise her

Qi Ya was on the verge of tears. As expected, once a man changes his heart, he forgets about his relatives.

Even if he doesn't love her anymore, they used to have a past together. But he shows no trace of old feelings and treats her so unfairly!

Lu Hanchuan didn't know what Fu Xiaoyao was thinking, nor was he interested. He wiped his fingers clean and threw the handkerchief on the ground without a care. He asked ominously, "When did you make your will"

He didn't expect this, the woman secretly made a will, causing one of his property transfer plans to fail.

"It was made a long time ago, after I turned eighteen." Qi Ya Mian lied with a straight face.

In fact, her will wasn't made for very long. It was made after she found out that Fu Xiaoyao was her half-sister, in order to prevent her property from falling into Fu Xiaoyao's hands.

She was very clear that Fu Xiaoyao had a deep-seated grudge against her, and Fu Xiaoyao would one day find out her true identity. Once she knew they were both daughters of the Qi family, Fu Xiaoyao would definitely take action to seize the Qi family's property for revenge. That's why she made preparations in advance, drew up a will, so that even if she died at the hands of Fu Xiaoyao in the end, Fu Xiaoyao wouldn't get her assets.

As expected, she played the right move.

At this thought, Qi Ya’s eyes were filled with a crazy smile, and all her thoughts were reflected on her face.

Lu Hanchuan licked his back teeth, his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Qi Ya, where's the will"

"I won't tell you." Qi Ya's smile became even brighter. "Han Chuan, I know you hate me now, you despise me. We've reached this point, and it's destined that we can't go back. So I don't bother pretending anymore. I'll make it clear to you, I won't give my things to Fu Xiaoyao."

Lu Hanchuan looked at her with cold eyes, "The Qi family has never had anything that belonged to you. What you call 'yours' is actually Fu Xiaoyao's."nd me there once, thank you.""Don't be so polite, let's go."
