Mu Siyin’s demands were like daylight robbery to Mu Heyuan, and his face darkened.
“Your mother and sister have died a long time ago, Yinyin. The company doesn’t have their shares anymore.”
“What do you mean? I still have my mother’s succession certificate, and it says that I’m the rightful heir to their assets!”
Mu Heyuan’s face turned grim at Mu Siyin’s powerful counterattack.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Yinyin. The succession certificate doesn’t exist at all! Your mother and sister’s shares have been transferred to the Mu family a long time ago! It’s not even yours, to begin with!”
“Fine. Let’s call a lawyer.” Mu Siyin was sick of reasoning with Mu Heyuan. A lawyer should be able to shut them up for good.
Mu Heyuan froze in shock.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Mu decided to butt in, “Alright, Yinyin. Show us the succession certificate for the shares to prove yourself. We’ll decide its authenticity for ourselves.”
Knowing what a snake the Old Madam was, she said with a smile, “I’ve already asked a lawyer to proofread it, Grandma. The certificate is valid and even has Dad’s and your signatures. I don’t think that it’s something you will forget.”
The atmosphere in the living room turned sour.
After a long pause, the Old Madam let out a dry laugh. “You don’t say. How can I remember something that happened a decade ago? My memory hasn’t been great recently.”
Mu Siyin was not mad by Old Madam Mu’s denial. In fact, she smiled as she said, “It’s fine. It’s written on paper anyway. You’ll definitely remember when you see it.”
The smile was instantly wiped off from Old Madam Mu’s face.
“This is ancient history anyway. Let’s put it aside for now as it is not our main concern.”
Mu Siyin blinked and took a deep breath before saying, “Fine. Let’s focus on the other contents of the agreements instead. Please have a new one drafted by tomorrow.”
Everyone’s face darkened when they heard this.
They had underestimated Mu Siyin’s intelligence.
Nobody was happy about it, but their opinion did not matter to Mu Siyin. With the agreement in her hands, she said, “This says here that I can only inherit the company’s shares when I’m 22 years old.”
Once again, a dark veil shadowed over Mu Heyuan and Old Madam Mu’s faces.
“I’m no minor, Dad. Why must I be 22 years old to inherit the shares?”
Old Madam Mu chipped in, “Since you’ve just graduated, your father thinks that you’re still too young to inherit anything. You’re going to inherit it anyway. It’s the same thing.”
Mu Siyin raised an eyebrow. “Precisely. I’ve already graduated from university, Grandma. It’s not like I’m illiterate or anything. Why is my age an issue?”
Old Madam Mu’s face fell. Mu Siyin let out a sigh and said, “Let’s say we overlook this issue. This clause still says that all my shares will be taken over by the Mu family as soon as I get married. That means I’ll be penniless.”
Mu Heyuan was almost losing his cool.
His reaction was, however, no match for Old Madam Mu’s grim expression.
Mu Siyin laughed. “How black-hearted are you? I only wanted nothing but 10% of your shares. Do you have to set me up this way?
“What use would the succession certificate be after I sign this? I’ll be penniless by then!”
Upon saying so, Mu Siyin’s eyes turned ice cold.
