When news about the Patriarchs of the Ni and Ye Families, the two major families in Beijing were in a medical crisis, it instantly started spreading like wildfire.
All the stocks related to the two families started to plummet, especially the Violetlight Gold-Lead under the Ni Family's control. The shares started to fall and many specialists who were prepared to earn a considerable sum suddenly lost a fortune.
At the same time, there were also changes in the real estate investments in the northeast, which was managed by the Ye Family. A funding issue occurred that affected over a dozen subsidiary companies…
Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, Ni Buwei and Ye Yilong's crisis has put the Ni and Ye Families in an unprecedented crisis as well. The enemies of the two families instantly jumped up and launched attacks at the two families.
At the same time, even the households were in a mess.
Nervously standing outside, waiting for Su Tao's news, Ni Jingqiu and w.a.n.g Qiaozhen heard some commotion. A short moment later, they saw an old man hastily walking over with Ni Buqing following behind.
"Uncle, when did you return?" w.a.n.g Qiaozhen respectfully asked as she went up.
"Such a huge incident occurred, how can I not return?" Ni Xiaoyun questioned.
For so many years, Ni Xiaoyun has never interfered in the family's matters. But even so, he had high prestige within the family. When Ni Buwei's father, Ni Xiaotian, died, Ni Xiaoyun inherited the Patriarch position.
Since Ni Xiaoyun liked freedom and didn't have any children, he waited for Ni Buwei to grow up before he gave the household to the son of his deceased brother.
When Ni Xiaoyun heard from Ni Buqing that something happened to Ni Buwei, he immediately rushed back from San Francisco, prepared to take up the position as the Patriarch once more.
"Granduncle, my father is currently receiving his treatment, so you don't have to be too worried about it!" Ni Jingqiu comforted.
Unhappily glancing at Ni Jingqiu, Ni Xiaoyun coldly asked, "I heard that Buwei just pa.s.sed the responsibility of the family onto you?"
w.a.n.g Qiaozhen immediately explained, "He only did that when facing death, but it will be reconsidered when he has recovered."
Waving his hand, Ni Xiaoyun coldly snorted, "I'll tell you beforehand. If anything happens to Buwei, Jingqiu can't inherit the Ni Family's a.s.sets. Firstly, she's a woman, and secondly, she's too young."
Hearing those words, w.a.n.g Qiaozhen was enraged. Her husband was currently on his deathbed, but Ni Xiaoyun was only caring about the inheritance of the family.
But this was also the sorrow of a major family. Even in such a crucial moment, the interest of the family still outstripped everything else. Even if Ni Buwei was the Patriarch, the interest of the family exceeded his life.
However, Ni Xiaoyun wasn't wrong, if this matter was looked at from the angle of the family interest.
When Ni Jingqiu saw a cunning smile hanging on her aunt, Ni Buqing's lips, she knew that her aunt must be the one to notify her granduncle. At this moment, she was filled with disappointment.
Ni Buqing's response was too swift, making one suspicious if Ni Buwei's poisoning had something to do with her.
"Granduncle, please believe that my father will definitely recover, so please calm down." At this moment, Ni Jingqiu could only console her granduncle.
"I want to see him right now and have him change his will!" Ni Xiaoyun said and further continued when Ni Buqing whispered in his ears, "Contact the lawyer as well. I have to get this matter done while he's still conscious."
Hearing those words, Ni Jingqiu froze. She never expected that Ni Xiaoyun would make such a decision at this moment. Seeing Ni Xiaoyun trying to barge his way in, she immediately blocked the entrance and said, "The doctor is currently treating my father in the room, and it has reached a critical moment. I can't let you go in!"
