Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 209 - 149: Yang Chen Calculates Every Step Precisely
Previously mentioned, Cheng Junjun’s grandparents are from Chaoshan, later moved to Hai City to do business.
And the main reason they were able to succeed was relying on the social connections accumulated by Cheng Junjun’s grandfather while working at the Hai City Government.
Therefore, it makes sense for Cheng Junjun to say that half of the family estate should belong to her mother emotionally, but legally, it is not acknowledged, considering her mother has been deceased for more than a decade.
Cheng Junjun always thought it was only her grandparents who held gender-biased views, but not her father.
Thus, she could wait until her grandparents passed away before addressing it.
However, now Zhang Hailing and Cheng Dalong seem to be in cahoots, which means Cheng Junjun might truly end up with nothing.
Therefore, Cheng Junjun is anxious now; she might not want the part belonging to her grandparents or father, but her mother’s share, she must claim, it cannot be left to another woman.
Yang Chen followed Cheng Junjun back home, guided by her directions.
Cheng Dalong hasn’t returned yet, probably fooling around with Zhang Hailing at the hotel.
But whether he returns is not important; the main thing is to talk to the old man.
Grandparents’ expressions became immediately unpleasant upon seeing Cheng Junjun bring a young and handsome lad back, seemingly filled with hostility towards Yang Chen.
Ordinarily, when the granddaughter brings a boy home, the old folks usually regard him as the future grandson-in-law, irrespective of feelings, they ought to treat him well out of courtesy.
The old couple’s expression towards Yang Chen was that of guarding against a thief, truly afraid their granddaughter would marry and take away the family estate.
Cheng Junjun didn’t give them a pleasant face either, bluntly stating: "I’m here to take away my mother’s share of the estate henceforth, we shall remain unrelated. Your wonderful son has already found for you a young daughter-in-law of my age, soon you will realize the wish of holding grandchildren. So, let’s amicably divide the family wealth, it’s beneficial for everyone."
The old couple burst into laughs upon hearing their son found a young daughter-in-law, soon bringing grandchildren. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Cheng Junjun rolled her eyes, indeed it was so predictable of them.
Grandfather joyfully said: "Since you will soon have a younger brother, even more the reason not to divide any for you. However, should you wish to leave, we won’t stop you. Considering your mother’s memory, we offer you an apartment and a million in cash. But you need to sign a guarantee, promising never to come back for rights over the family estate with your brother. Fair enough?"
Not a single thing established, yet they are like that already.
If Zhang Hailing truly marries Cheng Dalong and births a son, Cheng Junjun would really end up with nothing.
Cheng Junjun immediately said: "Are you dreaming? I stated it’s my mother’s share that I want, I don’t need a penny from yours. My mother’s share cannot be left to another woman, don’t even think about it."
Grandmother chuckled and said: "Your mother has been gone for over ten years now, you’re talking about her share, what does she have? What can a deceased person have?"
"Show some respect in your words! My mother was angered to death by you, I will forever remember this!" Cheng Junjun yelled.
Grandmother still laughed, seemingly insensitive to Cheng Junjun’s feelings, saying: "Is the aim of marrying not to bear sons? Others can, why couldn’t she? At our hometown, every household must have a son, why should ours only have a worthless daughter? I asked her to bear a son for her own good, the saying goes ’mother rises by son’s status’, doesn’t she understand this?"
Cheng Junjun wanted to argue further, but Yang Chen quickly grabbed her, saying: "Looks like words alone won’t help, seek a lawyer instead."
Grandfather laughed heartily, saying: "I wondered what brings you back out of the blue? Turns out it was to fight over the family estate. Young man, what do you do?"
"I’m an online ride-hailing driver, also a friend of Miss Cheng." Yang Chen replied truthfully.
Grandfather: "Haha... finding an online ride-hailing driver, how resourceful. Understandable, online drivers don’t earn much, so you urge her to come back and divide the estate, right? Young man, you are too naive. With just a nod from me, you wouldn’t get a single penny. Clear?"
Yang Chen: "You might misunderstand, I am merely a friend of Miss Cheng. She comes to inherit her mother’s share, which is reasonable and lawful. Should you be unaware, consult a lawyer. Inheritance rights hold no time limit, regardless of Miss Cheng’s mother being gone for over ten years, even decades, as long as Miss Cheng is alive, she has the right to inherit her mother’s estate. I believe the wisest choice for you would be giving Miss Cheng her mother’s share to split with Mr. Cheng, thereafter remaining unrelated. Should you escalate to legal intervention, it would transcend estate division."
"Haha..." The old couple burst into laughter.
Finishing laugh, the old man said: "Young man, both our hearts aren’t in great health. Should you laugh us to death, you’d be accountable."
Grandmother chimed in, saying: "Just a glitzy rogue who confuses ignorant young girls with charm and sweet words. Alright, stop talking here, having lived a lifetime we cannot be swayed by you two, right? Junjun, once your brother is born, we’ll give you an apartment and a million in cash if you sign off your voluntary inheritance waiver then. Whether or not you return to this home thereafter doesn’t matter, we wouldn’t expect you to tend to our graves once we are gone, after all."
Cheng Junjun wiped her tears, saying: "Fine! It’s your choice, even if my mother’s possessions are ruined, they’ll never fall to another woman!"
