For the briefest of moments, the room seemed to hold its breath.
Guiying himself sat perfectly still.
Beside him, Liuxian's fingers quietly tightened around his hand beneath the table.
Fang Guobin lowered his eyes to the page.
"To my grandson, Xue Guiying, I bequeath full ownership of the Chaoyang Commercial Complex, including all current tenancies, associated revenue and future development rights."
The silence lingered for scarcely a heartbeat before whispers broke out across the hall.
"The Chaoyang Commercial Complex?"
"Surely not..."
Before anyone had fully processed the words, Fang Guobin continued.
"I further bequeath forty percent controlling shares in Xue Holdings."
Several people froze where they sat.
Someone audibly inhaled.
Another simply stared at the lawyer as if convinced he had misspoken.
Fang Guobin's voice never wavered.
"I further bequeath the Hainan coastal estate, including all associated structures, land and rights."
