markable. Take Ye Mengying, for example, who worked with her at Haijiang Tower—whether in looks or figure, she matched Sun Xinxin at the very least. These days, Sun Xinxin often encountered Ye Mengyin...Chapter 1081: Xu Qingshan's Fury

At this moment, almost everyone from the Xu family was staring at the old man with a look of disbelief.

Whether it was the people from the Xu family or Inspector Fang Zhongtian and his two subordinates who had just arrived here, they could all recognize that this elderly person was none other than Xu Qingshan himself.

What shocked these people wasn't because Xu Qingshan told Fang Zhongtian to leave. Although Fang Zhongtian was a high-ranking inspector at the police station, when it came to status and standing, the gap between Fang Zhongtian and Xu Qingshan was immeasurable—more than ten thousand miles apart. Even if Xu Qingshan had said something more outrageous, Fang Zhongtian would likely have had no choice but to endure it silently.

The thing that truly shocked these people was the person himself, Xu Qingshan. Everyone in the Xu family knew that Xu Qingshan had been bedridden for several months now; whether it was doctors or fortune-tellers, they all essentially pronounced a death sentence on Xu Qingshan. Although these days, there were one or two hours each day when Xu Qingshan remained conscious, he never got out of bed. But now, he actually managed to get up! Though there were two people supporting him, not only did Xu Qingshan manage to stand, but he could even slowly descend the stairs, completely defying everyone's expectations in the Xu family!

What shocked them even more was that Xu Qingshan, who had previously appeared emaciated and sallow with dry skin, now looked entirely different. His skin was visibly younger, and there were even hints of rosy color on his face—initially glancing at him, it seemed like he had become ten years younger!

"Jiawen, Xiaotong, you two don't need to support me; let me walk by myself!" At this moment, Xu Qingshan, who had reached the middle of the staircase, said in a serious tone.

"Dad, be careful," although Xu Jiawen released her grip on Xu Qingshan, she still gently reminded him.

Xu Qingshan raised his voice slightly. His words sounded full of energy and vigor, not at all like an elderly man who had been bedridden for a long time. This puzzled most people present; even if they believed that Xu Qingshan's illness had improved, it was unlikely to have recovered so quickly!

It is said that when disease comes, it comes swiftly as a mountain collapsing; yet when healing occurs, it happens gradually like unraveling silk thread. Diseases tend to heal slowly, but the speed at which Xu Qingshan's condition seemed to improve was rather astonishing, making some people wonder if this wasn't his last burst of energy before passing

However, Xu Qingshan didn't appear to be experiencing a sudden recovery; he walked steadily down the stairs without any sign of trembling or instability in his legs. Soon enough, he reached the bottom and looked at Fang Zhongtian: "Are you going out with your people on your own, or should I call our police chief for you"

Fang Zhongtian's expression became even more unnatural. He knew that Xu Qingshan had a very good relationship with the current police chief; if Xu Qingshan called him, and the police chief personally got involved in this matter, regardless of whether he was right or wrong, his position would be jeopardized. There was no doubt that at this moment, the wisest choice for him was to leave immediately without escalating the situation to involve the police chief.

Fang Zhongtian still can't figure out why Xu Shanhui asked him to catch the person who hurt his wife, and yet Xu Shanshan seemed so upset about it. Logically speaking, Xu Shanshan should support Fang Zhongtian's actions.

Xu Shanshan had reasons to be angry. After he fell ill for a few months, his sons started fighting over the family assets. Although he wasn't in good mental health and mostly stayed in bed, he was still aware of what was happening around him.

Xu Shanshan had two wives, but unfortunately, both of them had passed away before him. They left behind three sons and a daughter: Xu Shanhui and Xu Shanxing from his first wife, and Xu Shangsheng and Xu Jiawen from his second wife. When Xu Shanhui was born, Xu Shanshan wasn't prosperous yet, so he didn't put much effort into nurturing this son. However, when Xu Shanxing was born, Xu Shanshan had already accumulated some wealth and devoted himself to raising this son, who did not disappoint him. Now, most of the important family businesses are managed by Xu Shanxing.

As for Xu Shanhui, although he also oversees some of the family's assets, they are relatively insignificant compared to what his brother manages. The two brothers jointly manage all the family's wealth while their sister and younger brother from their stepmother’s side, Xu Shangsheng and Xu Jiawen, only spend money.

When Xu Shangsheng was born, Xu Shanshan had already become a true tycoon, and he doted on his youngest son excessively. As such, Xu Shangsheng inevitably became a typical playboy who wasted his youth and adulthood chasing women and indulging in scandalous affairs with celebrities and models, leaving Xu Shanshan feeling helpless. Although Xu Shanshan realized that his excessive pampering of Xu Shangsheng was wrong, it was too late to start disciplining him.

The only thing that slightly comforted Xu Shanshan was that despite being a playboy, his youngest son had some redeeming qualities. First and foremost, he was very filial; while Xu Shanhui and Xu Shanxing were busy with work and rarely visited their father, Xu Shangsheng would come to see him at least once a week. For the increasingly elderly Xu Shanshan, this was what mattered most.

Recently, Xu Jiasheng did something that delighted Xu Qingshan greatly: despite being known for dating many girls without having a serious girlfriend, he actually found one and she is even pregnant with his child—a boy!

Xu Qingshan has three sons but his eldest son Xu Jiafu only has three daughters, while his second son Xu Jiaxing only has two daughters. So far, Xu Qingshan hasn’t had a grandson.

Like many elderly people, Xu Qingshan values male heirs over female ones. Despite being his only daughter, Xu Jiawen was not cared for very much by him throughout her life; he merely ensured she would be financially secure. As he felt his health deteriorating, his desire for a grandson became more urgent. Now that he’s going to have one soon, how could he not be overjoyed

In his excitement, Xu Qingshan made a decision right away, which would eventually lead to disputes among his three sons.

Xu Qingshan decided: if Wei Xiaotong can give birth to a boy, he will leave all of half of his assets to the grandson. The other half of his assets would be divided equally among his three sons. As for Xu Jiawen, she would receive some symbolic compensation that ensures her basic needs are met for life.

With this decision made, Xu Jiasheng was overjoyed, while Xu Jiafu and Xu Jiaxing were nearly driven mad!

For a long time, Xu Jiafu believed that he should receive the largest share of the inheritance. Firstly, he was the eldest son, and secondly, he had suffered alongside Xu Qingshan in the past and didn’t receive a good education. He felt that Xu Qingshan owed him compensation, so he thought it was only right for him to get the biggest portion.

Xu Jiaxing also believed that he deserved the largest share. The reason was simple: over the years, he had been managing the Xu family business and considered his contributions the greatest. He believed that without him, the Xu family wouldn’t have accumulated such wealth, and only he could maintain and expand their assets. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to receive the most.

However, neither of them expected to end up with the smallest share. Even more unacceptable was that the largest portion went to none other than Xu Jia_sheng! If either one of them had received the biggest share, they would have been unhappy but could still accept it. But for this to happen to Xu Jia_sheng, that was beyond their comprehension.

In their opinion, Xu Jia_sheng spent his days indulging in leisure activities and had squandered a lot of family money dating celebrities and models. He was the definition of a wastrel who deserved nothing more than a small sum. Now, to give him half or even more of the inheritance seemed absurd.

This situation caused Xu Jiafu and Xu Jiaxing, who previously didn’t have close relations, to unite against their brother and start a fierce battle for the family assets. Xu Qingshan witnessed all this but had no intention to change his decision.

The secret conflict among his sons was already causing him great dissatisfaction, but just now upon waking up, he learned two things from Wei Xiaotong that fully ignited his wrath!

The first thing is that he found out Wei Xiaotong was being followed on her way to pick up Doctor Xia Tian, who was coming to treat him. It seemed someone wanted to harm her, which made Xu Qingshan furious. He wasn't stupid; he could easily deduce that this was an attempt to kill his unborn grandson!

The second thing, however, immediately had him springing up from the sofa in anger. His eldest daughter-in-law Wang Shuyi actually prevented Doctor Xia Tian from treating him! Wasn’t that tantamount to wishing for his death

When Xu Qingshan went out and saw that the police wanted to take away the very doctor who had just cured him, he was even more enraged. He then openly told Fang Zhongtian to leave.

"Father, Superintendent Fang is only..." Seeing that Fang Zhongtian couldn't back down, Xu Jiafu finally spoke up. After all, it was his call for the divine doctor; therefore, he wanted to smooth things over and find a way out for Fang Zhongtian.

"Shut up!" Xu Qingshan angrily interrupted Xu Jiafu's words. "If you don’t want me to kick you out too, then shut your mouth!"

Xu Jiafu’s expression changed immediately, and he didn't dare say another word. He could tell that Xu Qingshan was extremely angry right now, and if he wanted to retain whatever little property he had left, his best choice would be to remain silent.ightly disappointed; it seemed like he didn’t have any money on him."Can I use my card" asked Summer."Do you see a place to swipe cards inside this vehicle" the ticket collector snapped back."Then I d...
