A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Xie Qingyang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

How could this happen?

She didn't remember Director Qiu at all, but she could vaguely recall that she had gone to the villa on Yunxiang Road to apologize to Xie Jing and encountered someone delivering a car.

—So that car was originally for Jiang Chu.

It turns out those two really had been hooking up all along!

In that instant, many images came together.

...Lin Yuwei was suddenly stripped of her property and shares by her father because Xie Jing was avenging Jiang Chu!

Furthermore, in all the previous incidents, Wei Jing suffered repeated setbacks, and I was completely unable to help him, all because Xie Jing was behind it all!

So that's how it is!

Xie Qingyang felt a tightness in his chest.

However, she didn't even have time to feel resentful, because she still had to deal with her uncle on the phone.

"Uncle, that's not how it is..."

Xie Qingyang spoke with difficulty, "I was sick that day, and I still had to apologize to Xie Jing. I wasn't in good condition, so I couldn't explain in detail—"

"Besides," the man opposite him chuckled softly, "do you know my name?"

"I know! Of course I know," Xie Qingyang quickly replied, "Your name is Qiu Xi!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the paper document next to her, where the name was still written in the contact backup form.

"...This name is on my name tag," Qiu Xi said slowly. "If you remember my name and my face, you shouldn't mistake me for a random passerby, right? After all, the surname Qiu isn't as common as Zhang, Wang, Li, or Liu."

"I," Xie Qingyang paused for a moment, "it's not like that, Uncle. In my memory, since you're almost forty, you must look different from photos of you in your twenties, so I didn't think of it that way..."

"Miss Xie, please don't call me uncle anymore. I'm just a nobody, I don't deserve a niece like you."

Qiu Xi said calmly, "Back then, my uncle was extremely wary of us, fearing that we would seize your family property as an orphan and widow. He even threatened us with the Xie family's name."

Xie Qingyang bit her lip.

My maternal grandfather was Xie Sen's bodyguard. He saved Xie Sen's life many times and amassed a considerable fortune.

Qiu Yuan had been married before. Her ex-husband was a nouveau riche, and she inherited his property, so she naturally had a sum of money as well.

Adding these two together, it would be an enormous sum for an ordinary person, enough to support a large family and enjoy a life of luxury for the rest of their life.

but--

All of this money is now unusable.

Because Xie Jing had already transferred this money into her trust account, turning it into her own private property.

In order to prove her ability to manage the funds, she had long ago mixed this inheritance with offshore illegal funds suspected of money laundering!

In financial regulation and judicial proceedings, this is called the contamination and commingling of funds.

The entire trust account has now been seized and frozen in full in accordance with the law due to suspected criminal offenses. She has no money to come up with until the judicial audit is completed!

"...No," Xie Qingyang said through gritted teeth, "Xie Jing and my mother don't get along. He wouldn't do these things for my mother!"

"Isn't your mother's and your maternal grandfather's inheritance all in your hands?" Qiu Xi retorted. "Do you think you could have gotten this money without Xie Jing? Your third and fourth uncles in America, as well as your mother's husband's relatives, are all watching you. Do you think they are easy people to get along with? If it weren't for the Xie family protecting you, you wouldn't have even made it to your eighteenth birthday."

Xie Qingyang remained silent for a moment. "I have no idea how much money my mother and grandfather left behind. Even if Xie Jing embezzled a portion of it, I wouldn't know!"

Qiu Xi sneered, "Miss Xie, you're such an ingrate, just like your mother's grandfather. Before he became Xie Sen's bodyguard, he borrowed 100,000 yuan from our family to learn martial arts. After paying it back, he turned on us and never mentioned it again. Later, at your mother's birthday banquet, my sister and I went to give gifts, but we couldn't even get in the door! We were accused of trying to freeload!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "To tell you the truth, your mother hates us, and Xie Jing probably knows about it too. So even though he despises your mother, he won't suppress us. On the contrary, the better we do, the angrier Qiu Yuan will be from the afterlife."

Qiu Xi chuckled twice. "Miss Xie, for the sake of the fact that I used to play with your mother many years ago, I'll give you a piece of advice: as a person, you should learn to be content and grateful. You could have lived a life of luxury. The wealth you possessed from the moment you were born is something that most people in the world could not obtain even after a lifetime of struggle."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Xie Qingyang was both shocked and furious.

but--

Qiu Xi reminded her of something.

property.

She shouldn't only have the Qiu family's wealth!

Her father is Xie Rong!

Xie Rong's real estate, overseas trusts, famous paintings and antiques, as well as the interest from the original shares of the group that Xie Sen distributed to him before his death, amounted to a huge fortune of hundreds of millions!

Xie Jing must have taken it all for himself!

Using the pretext of his elder brother's early death, he seized all the inheritance that originally belonged to Xie Rong and her!

Xie Qingyang was breathing heavily.

Regardless of the legal framework of China's inheritance law or the United States' will law, as Xie Rong's only biological daughter in this world, she is the first-order legal heir!

If she can win this inheritance lawsuit, she can tear a huge piece of meat from Xie Jing's hands!

She obtained enough funds to hire the world's top law firms and even apply for judicial intervention overseas!

Xie Qingyang called Assistant Wang.

The other party answered.

"Vast ocean!"

Xie Qingyang said coldly, "You immediately hand the phone over to Xie Jing! Or you can listen on his behalf!"

Assistant Wang paused on the other end of the phone, "Ms. Xie, if it concerns legal assistance regarding your alleged criminal offenses, the group's legal department has already completed the entire process of separation and will not provide any further assistance."

"Don't play dumb with me!" Xie Qingyang gritted his teeth. "I'm not talking about my case! I want to talk about Xie Rong's estate!"

She gripped the landline handle tightly. "Xie Rong is Xie Sen's rightful eldest son! What about his private assets, overseas shares, and the original dividends from Tianyu Group? They should all be mine! Xie Jing withheld my father's inheritance! This is illegal appropriation! It's robbery! He embezzled the hundreds of millions of assets that are rightfully mine! I'm going to sue him! I'm going to expose his ugly face of embezzling his brother's inheritance to the media throughout China and the United States!"

Assistant Wang: "...Do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Qingyang's breath hitched.

"First," Assistant Wang said calmly, "Mr. Xie Rong did indeed leave behind a substantial amount of private assets before his death. These included six properties in Beijing, Zhuhai, and Hong Kong, assets of two offshore companies, and a considerable sum of cash."

Xie Qingyang's eyes lit up.

"However, four months before his death, Mr. Xie Rong had already made a complete and irrevocable will with full legal effect, witnessed by the Beijing Notary Office and third-party lawyers."

Assistant Wang opened the electronic workbench in his hand and coldly read aloud:

"According to the terms of the will, Mr. Xie Rong left a total of one million US dollars for the upbringing and education of his illegitimate child—that is, you, Ms. Xie Qingyang. This money has long been in your trust, and the chairman has never touched it."

Xie Qingyang was struck dumb. "Impossible! One million US dollars?! He has at least a billion! Why would he only give me one million?! You forged the will!"

"It's very clearly written in the will."

Assistant Wang completely ignored her hysteria.

"...This one million US dollars is enough to support a child's healthy growth and completion of education. As a father, I have fulfilled my due financial obligations."

Assistant Wang paused for a moment, then revealed the cruelest truth:

"As for Mr. Xie Rong's remaining private property, 80 percent of it, according to Mr. Xie Rong's wishes before his death, was donated to the 'Foundation for the Relief of Congenital Heart Disease and Critically Ill Children in Impoverished Areas' under the National Health Commission, to provide free surgery for tens of thousands of poor children who cannot afford medical expenses."

"And the remaining twenty percent..."

Assistant Wang's lips curled into a sarcastic smile:

"Mr. Xie Rong donated the money in full to his first love from his youth, Mrs. Chen, who now lives in Canada. Mrs. Chen now has a happy family, surrounded by children and grandchildren. This money is Mr. Xie's way of wishing her eternal happiness."
