Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

The legal department arrived very quickly this time.

But before they drafted the document, my third grandfather offered a suggestion.

"Yu Zhe, can we, the members of the branch offices, draft the specific content of this document? After all, there are some specific and minor details that we still need to discuss. Once we've written it, you can see if it's feasible."

"Okay, no problem."

Ah, just as Yu Zhe thought.

Next, the elders who were dividing the family property all stood up and discussed how to write the document.

Looking at the noisy crowd below the stage, Zixiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Brother, is it okay? Actually, it doesn't matter. Even if I don't have the identity of the main family, I just want to be by your side. Those empty titles don't matter."

That's true, or rather... at this stage, if Zixiao could shed the identity of being the younger sister, wouldn't she be even more powerful?

Ugh... She's terrible, a tiger? She's more like a cat.

Regarding Zixiao's question, Yuzhe made it very clear: "This is not the same thing. If Zixiao wants to leave the main family on her own, then I won't say anything. But if someone else wants you to leave, then there is absolutely no way. That being said, even if you want to leave, I can't let you go."

"Hmph, I'm not leaving."

Zixiao nestled quietly beside Yuzhe, feeling very at ease.

"Hey, separate us, separate us. You were just talking about me, but you were doing the same thing yourself."

Yu Che quickly pulled the two apart. Couldn't they stop being so lovey-dovey in public?

Then she hugged Yu Zhe's left arm...

"..."

After a while, Yu Zhe told the two of them to move to the sides.

Because it seems that the documents they were discussing backstage have already been finalized.

39. It seems there's no need to sign.

"Is the discussion over?"

It's time to end this. They've been discussing for at least half an hour, and if they don't produce a mutually agreed-upon document soon, Yu Zhe is starting to get impatient.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The document about Yu Che transferring management authority was drafted by Yu Zhe, and of course, it was quick for him to communicate with the legal department on his own.

Now, this document is being handled by the elders of the Su family. With so many of them, it's really difficult for them to come up with a unified opinion.

Grandpa San, holding a thick stack of documents, stood up and walked over to Yuzhe.

"Alright, Yuzhe, this is the document we just discussed regarding restricting Su Zixiao's future rights within the family. Take a look?"

"Let my dad see it first; he's the head of the family."

Yu Zhe knew that these old fogies had many tricks up their sleeves. If Yu Zhe were to read the document immediately after it was released, it would clearly give them grounds to accuse him of not respecting the head of the family.

Their current goal is to gain a moral high ground, so that they might have the right to criticize...

They have a say in their own family's affairs.

Unfortunately, Yu Zhe wasn't buying it.

"Alright."

Third Grandfather nodded and handed the documents to Su Zhenfeng.

"Zhenfeng, take a look first. If there are no problems, we'll proceed with this step."

"Okay, Third Uncle."

Su Zhenfeng took the thick stack of documents with both hands; there must have been at least several dozen pages!

The document that Yu Zhe just wrote about Yu Che was only one page long, but it expressed the content very clearly.

Knowing the importance of legal documents, Su Zhenfeng did not take them lightly and began to carefully turn the pages of the documents one by one.

I was overwhelmed as soon as I saw the first page.

The contents of this document perfectly illustrate what it means to be full of nonsense.

The first few pages clearly indicate which branch of the family jointly submitted the document, and the information is very detailed. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't think it was a legal document; you'd think it was some kind of joint statement.

That is indeed the case.

The main text is also full of irrelevant information, lacking general restrictions and instead listing numerous detailed rules.

E.g.

"Su Zixiao does not have the right to arbitrarily move the Su family's assets."

"Su Zixiao has no right to view documents concerning the Su family's business activities."

"The properties under the Su family's name are all borrowed residences, and they do not have property rights."

In every aspect, whatever you can think of, they divided Zixiao's assets with the Su family's.

That doesn't matter. Su Zhenfeng knows that Zixiao is a sensible child who has never spent any money from the Su family since she was little. After reading through the document from beginning to end, he knows that even if she signs it, it won't have any impact on her.

Things will remain the same, but being able to keep the mindset of separating the family and resolving the issue through legal documents is not a bad solution.

By the time Su Zhenfeng turned to the last page, nearly twenty minutes had passed, and the entire room was silent; not a single person spoke.

Third Grandfather summarized it simply.

"I think Zhenfeng, you've seen it all. Don't worry, we're all elders, we wouldn't try to pull any tricks in the documents. Just approve it, we don't want anything else, we just want peace of mind. Everyone here wants the Su family to have a prosperous and peaceful life."

"What Uncle says is true, but I have a question: why is this document written in such detail? Couldn't it be summarized in a single sentence?"

"Hehe, I told you Zhenfeng, you're overthinking it. Old people don't have the same deep knowledge as you young people. We think that if we talk about everything in general terms, it's easy to cause problems. So let's use the simplest method and write down everything we can think of. Isn't that simpler?"

"That's true..."

Yu Zhe had been happily playing games on his phone since earlier, with his two younger sisters watching him play from either side.

It's as if what's happening here has nothing to do with him anymore.

Writing and reading documents took an hour! Wouldn't it be a waste of time if he didn't play for a while?

In reality, he was watching his third grandfather's "performance" from beginning to end.

Su Zhenfeng closed the document, but instead of signing it immediately, he handed it to Zixiao.

"Zixiao, take a look and discuss it with your brother and sister."

"Good father."

This is a document concerning Zixiao, and as the person involved, she definitely needs to take a look at it.

Zixiao didn't look at it so carefully. She could tell at a glance that these clauses were quite hurtful.

For example, there are clauses such as "If the Su family's property is damaged, compensation must be paid at the original price" and "No one is allowed to attend banquets held by the Su family."

Each and every one of them was designed to exclude her from the Su family.

It's heartbreaking at first glance, but it doesn't matter. The Su family is home because of her brother and Yu Che. If not, then Zi Xiao has nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Su Zixiao quickly closed the document, Third Grandfather made a suggestion.

"If you have no objections, then sign it. Don't blame us for being heartless; as elders of the family, we must also have our own considerations."

"Okay, I'm fine with signing, but before I sign, I'd like my brother to take a look at the document."

Zixiao picked up the pen, then put it down again.

She knew that if the document she saw contained the contents, there would be no problem signing it.

But her brother was always like this; in the fog, he could always see things that she couldn't.

I'm afraid this time will be the same.

"Yes, yes," Yu Zhe nodded. "As expected of Zi Xiao, the level of trust and understanding between the two of them has reached a new level."

He put down his phone and took the documents from Zixiao once again.

“Yu Zhe, do you want to look at it again? I’m afraid there’s no need for that. Zhen Feng, the head of the family, and Su Zixiao, as the person involved, have no objections. Let’s not waste time. It’s past lunchtime. Let’s end this topic as soon as possible.”

"Third Grandfather, if you're hungry, go and eat. I'm not hungry," Yu Zhe said, already opening the documents.

Seeing that her brother was too lazy to talk, Yu Che explained it more clearly: "When we were drafting the documents, they were circulated and reviewed by all the branch families. Now that the branch families have finished writing the documents, it shouldn't be too much for us members of the main family to read them as well, right?"

"Not excessive, of course not excessive, it's only natural."

Third Grandfather secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

He actually tried his best to avoid letting Yu Zhe see the document, but it was obviously unavoidable. However, the problem was still not significant; even Yu Zhe might not be able to see the clues.

The problem is that he clearly underestimated Yu Zhe.

He forgot that when he split up the family to deal with Yang Qiuyun before, it was almost impossible to move forward.

Now, facing the even more unsolvable Yu Zhe, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Such petty tricks have no meaning whatsoever.

义。

In less than a minute, Yu Zhe flipped through the document in a flash and slammed it shut.

The audience held their breath, this was the final hurdle, and they needed to hear Su Yuzhe's conclusion.

Yu Zhe, on the other hand, had a half-smile on his face. He pressed down on Zi Xiao's shoulder to make her sit down, then took the pen from her hand and capped it.

"It seems there's no need to sign this document. No, that's not accurate. From now on, there's no need to discuss anything with the family division."

"Third Grandfather, on the second page of the document, under the joint statement about dividing the family property, what does this tiny, tiny line of text, 'When Su Zixiao turns twenty, she should immediately leave the Su family through this agreement,' mean?"

40. I've made up my mind.

"That's impossible!"

The usually calm face of my third grandfather showed obvious astonishment.

He reached out to snatch the document from Yu Zhe's hand, clearly wanting to take it and confirm it.

But Yu Zhe was still worried that he would just tear up the evidence and destroy it.

So he moved the document to the back, preventing his third grandfather from grabbing it.
