“There’s no need to compensate you, you bast*rd son! Why are you back after so long? Are you here to fight for your share of inheritance?” A younger woman stepped forward, she was Xu Lan’s third younger sister.

“Hahaha, well said! Do you people have no shame? From disowning me to inviting me here today and offering me a share of the inheritance, you people scripted the entire thing didn’t you? Wouldn’t you love for the entire city to know about the bastard in Xu family?” Xu Lan’s eyes were red when he shouted loudly.

“You… You unfilial son!”

Somehow, the old man managed to muster up the energy to reach for the bible on his bedside which he then sent flying at Xu Lan. Bai Wu deflected the bible easily while supporting Xu Lan.

“Yo, here I thought you were performing a Buddhist ritual, little did I know that you’re a Christian now?” Xu Lan glanced at his feet and said in contempt. It was as though Bai Wu’s presence gave him bravery and took his fear of being in the house away. If anything, he was fuelled by anger.

“If Xu Lan refuses to inherit the assets, we should just let this matter pass.” A man stepped forward and picked up the bible as he spoke.

“Cough, cough! No! I insist for him to have it! Even after my death, I refuse to let him live his life in peace!” The old man announced agitatedly while Su Mei patted him on his back.

“Cough, cough. The rest of the ninety-five percent must be claimed by Xu Lan on behalf of everyone and he must not donate the assets to charity.” At this point, the old man constantly gasped for air.

Right after he spoke, the house was in a state of unrest and everyone in the house glared at Xu Lan in contempt.

“Haha… Hahaha… Well played! Well played!”

Xu Lan laughed hysterically after hearing what the old man had to say. When Bai Wu tried to prop Xu Lan up, he realized that Xu Lan was shivering. He was crying!

“Papa…” Bai Wu carried him and whispered quietly.

“You are very wise indeed. It’s a shame that the love of your life doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. If she didn’t volunteer the information, you probably wouldn’t have known that she’s cheated on you. The greatest entrepreneur in Whitehorse was cheated on by the love of his life, don’t you find this rather comical?”

Xu Lan held back no more. He glared at the old man in disgust as he spoke. Bai Wu’s heart ached at the sight of Xu Lan’s nonchalant face.

“Ahhh! Ahhh! You! You! You…”

The old man pointed at Xu Lan as he gasped for air. Everyone in the house rushed over to check up on the old man’s condition.

“Butler! Capture them!” Su Mei shrieked.

Xu Lan was not Master Xu’s son. The love of Master Xu’s life gave birth to Xu Lan, an illegitimate child after cheating on Master Xu.

Before he was four years old, Xu Lan was loved excessively. Xu Lan’s biological mother fell sick and was incurable by modern medicine. The old man channeled his love for her onto Xu Lan.

The old man made his fortune by dabbling in gray areas. In Whitehorse City, he was known for his cruel and ruthless methods. More importantly, everyone knew to never cross the young master.

Whenever they went out, the young master was hand-carried by the old man. The old man would not eat until he was done feeding the child. At four years old, the child still slept with the old man every night. From brushing his teeth to giving him a shower, the old man took care of the child’s every need on his own without outsourcing to someone else.

Happy times did not last long. Everything stopped when Xu Lan was four years old. Sometimes, he doubted if those were his real memories or a mere fiction of his imagination.
