“Okay.” Qiao Nan had made this decision seriously and the lawyer was unable to continue to persuade her. “How about this? I’ll draft up an entrustment contract regarding the ten million yuan before coming back to find you. Madam Qiao, with your current situation, I will make a suggestion. Whether you listen to it will be up to you. Once Old Lin’s things are in your possession, you can find a party to manage your money for you. As for the ten million yuan, you can also set up a foundation that will only be used to help the lonely elderly.”

A lawyer like him did not have such a wide scope. In Madam Qiao’s situation, it would be best to find a professional to manage it for her.

Qiao Nan rubbed her forehead. “Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll consider it carefully.” She was not too sure about things concerning this aspect. Perhaps it would be better to ask people like Dongzi or Gao Yan. “Then, I’ll trouble you with the rest. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The lawyer smiled humbly. It was not as though she was doing it for free. Even though the work was easy, she had gotten quite a hefty compensation from Old Lin. Usually, such inheritance cases were quite tricky to handle. After all, anyone would be moved by such a huge sum of money.

Madam Qiao and Old Lin had no blood relations at all, but Old Lin still chose to leave such a huge fortune to Mdm Qiao alone. From what he knew, Old Lin’s close blood relatives had all pa.s.sed on early in his life, but there were still a few distant relatives.

If Old Lin’s will did not exist, then of course, such an enormous fortune would be distributed to all those distant relatives. But now that this will existed, there was no way any Lins could hope of getting even a dime from Old Lin.

Now, Qiao Nan could possibly become his biggest employer who would pay his wages. The lawyer had to treat Qiao Nan nicely. “Madam Qiao, I won’t disturb you any further.” Thinking about those big shots outside whom she would usually only see on television from time to time, the lawyer was a little empty inside.

To say the least, Madam Qiao was quite an impressive character. At such a young age, and as a female, she was already quite a famous diplomat within China.

“I’ll send you off.”

“That won’t be necessary, Madam Qiao. Please don’t mind me and go ahead with what you have to tend to.” This Madam Qiao had everything she wanted: respect, money, and power. Most importantly, she was paid by the government. She had not met such an impressive lady in a long time.

After the lawyer left, Qiao Nan’s expression worsened. She did not rejoice at the thought at such a windfall. Qiao Nan was really very surprised by this will. She thought that even if Old Lin were to leave anything behind, it would be for her three children, not her.

In reality, Old Lin had left everything to her. In his will, the three children were not even mentioned a single time.

How could Qiao Nan not be mournful at the pa.s.sing of such an old man who cared for her so deeply?

When Qiao Nan reemerged, she heard some noises coming from the door of the Zhai family’s house. The noises made her head hurt. “What’s going on outside? Who’s making all that noise?”

“No one really. Just some people who have nothing better to do.” Zhai Hua poured a cup of water for Qiao Nan. “Do you want to rest for a while?” Qiao Nan was practically running the show alone on Old Lin’s side. As for Er Bao and San Bao, they could not help much other than helping return the bows.

In just one night, two old men who had been so important to the Zhai family had left. Even Zhai Hua was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

“No need.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “Master knew many people and was close to many people too. I can’t step away. But as for the four children, find some time for them to rest. They’re still young and can’t bear such a heavy burden. With the old master and my master gone, the four of them are very hurt too. I’m more worried about their conditions.”

Looking at the four depressed children, Qiao Nan was heartbroken. “You three and Xiao Bao, it’s still early. Go ahead and take a nap for a bit.”

“No, I want to accompany master grandpa,” San Bao said stubbornly. She knew that after today, she would never get to see master grandpa in person anymore. When she missed master grandpa, she would only get to see his picture. Even though she knew that within that long, rectangular box lay the lifeless Lin Yuankang, San Bao was not only not afraid, but she was even more determined to kneel there.

Qiao Nan sighed. “I understand how you feel, but it’s just that there will still be four more hours later in the afternoon, and we probably won’t get to rest so early on tonight. If you don’t sleep a while now, how will you accompany great-grandpa and master grandpa later in the afternoon and tonight? Tomorrow, we’ll have to send master grandpa and great-grandpa on their final journeys. Listen to Mom and be a good girl. Da Bao?”

Da Bao sniffled and knowingly pulled Xiao Bao up before walking in front of Er Bao and San Bao, beckoning them to follow him.

Xiao Bao naively followed Da Bao. Whatever Da Bao did, he would follow. Only when Da Bao carried him onto the bed did Xiao Bao ask between sobs, “Brother Da Bao, will Xiao Bao never get to see great-grandpa again?” After hearing people say so much, Xiao Bao finally understood that great-grandpa was lying in that rectangular box and would never appear in front of him anymore to play with him.

“Yes.” Da Bao helped Xiao Bao remove his shoes. “Don’t be sad, Xiao Bao. Great-grandpa and master grandpa are gone, but it’s okay. Er Bao, San Bao, and I are still here. The three of us will be with you. We’ll grow up together. There are still many good people who will be by your side and not leave.” At least, they would not leave Xiao Bao for the time being.

“Okay.” Xiao Bao nodded, finally feeling a little relief. When the blanket covered Xiao Bao, he could not help but fall asleep in an instant.

Er Bao and San Bao were older than Xiao Bao and did not need Da Bao to take care of them like he did Xiao Bao. They obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down. Er Bao could not help but say, “Da Bao, I’m really sad.”

“Me too,” San Bao said quietly. She knew that Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep.

Da Bao sighed. “It’s not just you guys. I’m sad too. Mom’s even sadder. Mom’s already having a hard time. We have to be obedient and not add on to her worries, okay?”

“Okay,” San Bao replied stiffly and pulled the blanket over her head. Er Bao could not calm his own emotions, but San Bao and Xiao Bao were already asleep, so he could not say anything and could only shut his eyes.
