His Genius Wife Is A Superstar-Chapter 1597: Last Will and Testament (Part III)
The lawyer concluded that it should be next to impossible for Jin Chonglin to hide illegitimate children. His private life was practically non-existent. He was like an open book. His scandals, both truth and fiction, were all over the media.
The only possibility was for Jin Liwei to be the father of those unnamed illegitimate children.
CEO Jin Liwei had the power and money to silence whoever he wanted to silence. He also protected his private life quite well. In fact, before being involved with Iris Long, the public barely heard anything about his private life except for what was featured in business magazines.
The lawyer once again peeked at Iris Long.
Poor girl.
He had believed that the old madam was a decent person, but he never would have expected that she would have been such a sadistic person. The old madam would actually force her granddaughter-in-law, Iris Long, to take care of Jin Liwei’s illegitimate children even from the grave.
"Attorney?" Jin Liwei didn’t like the way the lawyer was peeking at his wife.
There was no lust or malice, only sympathy. Jin Liwei had no idea what the lawyer was thinking about, but the man was making him feel uncomfortable.
"My apologies." The lawyer caught himself. He forced his gossipy thoughts out of his mind to focus on his task on behalf of his deceased client, Li Zhiruo.
Huang Yuyan still felt confused and dissatisfied. She looked around. Everyone seemed to know what her mother-in-law meant by "other great-grandchildren" who couldn’t be mentioned on paper. However, her son, Jin Chonglin, persuaded her to wait until after the lawyer left.
She glanced at her eldest son, Jin Liwei, and her daughter-in-law, Iris. She also thought the same way as the lawyer.
Did her son, Jin Liwei, father illegitimate children?
And did her mother-in-law, the old madam, force Iris to take care of the illegitimate children?
Oh no!
This was all too much!
Her poor daughter-in-law!
Even if Jin Liwei was her own son, Huang Yuyan still felt indignant on behalf of her daughter-in-law. She glared at her eldest son.
Jin Liwei: ???
Why was his mother glaring at him? He didn’t do anything wrong.
Was she getting bored now?
It was possible.
"Mom, please wait a little longer," he tried reassuring her. "Attorney is almost finished reading Grandma’s final will and testament."
Huang Yuyan automatically translated his words as an admission of his guilt.
What did he mean by please wait a little longer? He didn’t want her creating a commotion?
Hmph!
Just wait. She would definitely give justice to her poor daughter-in-law. How dare her son cheat on his wife?
Huang Yuyan’s eyes teared up as she glanced at her daughter-in-law.
’I’m with you, Xiulan,’ her eyes wanted to convey.
Iris Long: ???
She felt confused at the look her mother-in-law kept on giving her. Was her mother-in-law feeling hungry?
Her hand fished out something from her dress pocket. A small pack of chocolate. She handed it to her mother-in-law.
Huang Yuyan receiving the chocolate: ???
Why did her daughter-in-law give her chocolate at this time? Was this a secret code?
Even Jin Chonglin who was watching everything felt confused by his sister-in-law’s actions.
Huang Yuyan held the chocolate, unsure of what to do.
"Mom, are you eating that?" Jin Chonglin asked.

"Huh? This, oh."
He took it from her. "If you’re not eating it, then I will. Thanks, Sister Xiulan."
Huang Yuyan: ??????
Iris glared at Jin Chonglin. Was her brother-in-law so obtuse? His mother was already so hungry, and yet he took food from her?
Grandpa Lu laughed, his voice booming in the library.
Everyone: ???
"Why are you all so funny?" Grandpa Lu asked, still continuing to laugh. "I want to know! Bahahahaha!!!"
It seemed that he was the only one who understood everything. The others could only deal with their own misunderstandings. Grandpa Lu snickered to himself, not planning on helping to clarify things. Experience more tales on novelbuddy
"Now we reach the final parts of the old madam’s final will and testament," the lawyer announced.
Everyone paused their own thoughts about the confusing part regarding the "unnamed illegitimate children" from earlier. They focused on the lawyer as he continued to read.
"I leave to my eldest grandson, Jin Liwei, the following family heirlooms, all the contents of my wine cellars, properties, and liquid cash assets worth 50 million."
Like before, the lawyer began reading the lists of what Jin Liwei inherited. The heirlooms included paintings, vases, furniture, etc.—most of them were acquired during the marriage of his grandparents. The heirlooms were priceless. If they were auctioned, even Jin Liwei couldn’t estimate how much each would sell.
It seemed that Jin Chonglin received all the vintage automobiles while Jin Liwei to the heirlooms and the alcohols.
The properties were also substantial.
Although the cash assets he inherited were the same as the others, the total worth of his entire inheritance trumped all of them.
Fortunately, Jin Chonglin didn’t take any issue with that. Huang Yuyan also didn’t think that there was anything wrong with it. After all, Jin Liwei was the eldest grandson and the current head of the family.
Iris had no comment. Even without the inheritance, her family with Jin Liwei was already the wealthiest. Besides, she couldn’t control what her grandmother-in-law left her descendants. And even if she could, she had no desire to influence it.
The lawyer continued, "And finally, I leave to my granddaughter-in-law, Long Xiulan, the following jewelry, properties, and liquid cash assets worth 50 million. In addition, I also leave to my granddaughter-in-law, Long Xiulan, my shares at Jin Corporation in all their entirety including the accompanying decision-making power."
This time, Iris really did feel like all the breath had been knocked out of her.
"Huh?" Jin Chonglin was stunned.
"Oh." Huang Yuyan was also surprised at first, but she quickly accepted it before nodding as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Jin Liwei also appeared surprised, his eyes widening for a second, before accepting the fact like his mother. He glanced at his stupefied wife and smiled.
Grandpa Lu was also nodding in approval.
Iris regained her senses—barely. "What does that mean?!"
The lawyer read the part again, confirming that he didn’t make any mistake.
