Chapter 94: Slapping Faces
Sheng Hai rolled his eyes back and fell backward with a "thud!"
"Husband." Bai Xue rushed over in a hurry.
"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Yukai and Sheng Zerong also stepped forward to check, and the conference room immediately fell into chaos.
Sheng Hai's eyelids twitched slightly; Bai Xue understood immediately, quickly shooed away her younger son, and then said swiftly to Sheng Yukai: "Stop talking nonsense. If this happens again, even the gods couldn't save you."
Sheng Yukai nodded rapidly to show he understood.
Although he was unconvinced, he also admitted that every word of Sheng Hanyu's was a trap, and he had willingly walked into every single one of them.
He had suffered enough losses; he couldn't be fooled again!
Having won precious time for his son to reflect, Sheng Hai "woke up" leisurely.
He couldn't go to the hospital at this time; if he left and Sheng Yukai made another stupid move, then there would truly be no way to save the situation.
The Second Uncle "waking up" was expected, and Sheng Hanyu didn't dwell on it, not even pursuing the matter of Sheng Yukai slandering him in public, saying directly: "Bring the agreement; let's sign."
Sheng Yukai didn't move, still staring at him with great vigilance, fearing it was another trap.
"The agreement, take it out." Sheng Hai poked Sheng Yukai in the waist from behind. Only with his father's reminder did he feel relieved and take out the prepared agreement.
Sheng Hanyu scanned it quickly; the content was roughly what he had expected, and then he signed his name with a flourish.
He even took the initiative to remind them: "Where is the ink paste? I still need to press my thumbprint."
Sheng Yukai hurriedly had someone bring the ink paste. After the thumbprint was pressed and the agreement was back in his hands, he still felt a bit dazed!
Dazed as to whether this was real.
It was simply too smooth, so smooth it didn't feel real at all.
"Sign it? What are you still standing there for?" Yingzi reminded him from behind.
If it were any other time, Sheng Yukai would have been furious at an outsider interrupting, but now, not only was he not angry, he was grateful for Yingzi's reminder.
He hurriedly signed his name on it.
Sheng Hai and Bai Xue signed their names in turn and pressed their thumbprints.
Sheng Hanyu pointed behind him: "Let them come over to sign."
"They are your parents after all, I don't think that's necessary, do you?" Sheng Hai said with a forced smile: "Although you are legally severing ties with the Sheng Family, the blood relationship cannot be cut."
He said this not out of kindness to leave a memento for the eldest brother and his wife, but because he always felt that signing too easily was not a good thing.
The original plan was to completely ruin Sheng Hanyu's reputation, then force him to leave with nothing, compelling him to sign!
Letting Sheng Jiang and his wife come was also to prove to others: even his own parents didn't want him, so Sheng Hanyu's character must be flawed, which would increase Sheng Yukai's credibility.
But things had changed. Sheng Hai had prepared a pile of vicious tricks, but before he could use even one, Sheng Hanyu had taken the initiative to propose signing.
There was no need to force him at all; he even seemed a bit impatient.
At this moment, Sheng Hai actually didn't want the eldest brother and his wife to sign. If everyone signed, there would be no way back. If Sheng Hanyu had a backup plan to deal with them, having the eldest brother and his wife in his hands would force him to be cautious.
But if this was all signed... Before he could figure out the consequences, Sheng Hanyu had already stood up: "I already stated my conditions very clearly just now. If Second Uncle hasn't made up his mind, then none of it counts."
After speaking, he took the agreement and was about to tear it—Sheng Yukai's eyes turned green!
"Don't tear it, it counts, of course what we say counts."
He looked at his father. Sheng Hai didn't have a better idea now, and Sheng Hanyu wouldn't give him any room to think, so he could only nod in agreement.
Sheng Jiang and Wang Yingzhi were brought to the podium.
There hadn't been a seat for them on the podium earlier, but now that they were needed, they were brought over. Sheng Jiang was weak-willed by nature, but he wasn't stupid; he didn't want to sign this from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at his son pitifully, not knowing what to say, and could only plead: "Hanyu, can we not sign this? Dad doesn't want to sign."
"I'll sign." Wang Yingzhi was unusually quick for the first time, signing her name on the agreement without hesitation.
Sheng Yukai had promised them that as long as they signed, the shares Sheng Hanyu originally held would be transferred to them.
Sheng Jiang had always been indecisive. Now that his wife had signed and Sheng Yukai was constantly urging him from the side, although he was still unwilling, he wrote his name on it as well.
Regardless, the most important goal for today had been achieved. Just as Sheng Yukai was about to end it, Sheng Zerong, who had been acting like background scenery, suddenly stood out.
"Wait a moment, there's me too."
Sheng Zerong took several agreements out of his bag; the content was similar to what they had just signed, only the names on them were changed to his own.
He announced in front of the reporters: "Although this press conference today wasn't for me, I want to join in the fun. Like my eldest brother, I want to sever ties with them. I don't want a single cent of the Sheng Family's property; I'm leaving with nothing!"
Sheng Zerong had always lacked presence in front of the public, but these few sentences today instantly made him the hot topic of discussion for everyone in Jiangzhou!
"Shut up, why are you joining in the fun?" Bai Xue was almost angered to death by her younger son.
She didn't like that her younger son was close to Sheng Hanyu, but she didn't expect him to be so unreliable. Was this something to group up for? It wasn't a good thing.
"This is what you said, don't regret it." Sheng Yukai was both angry and happy.
He was angry that his own younger brother was on Sheng Hanyu's side at a critical moment, but happy that he was a fool; if he didn't want the family property, it would all be his!
Sheng Hanyu was moved, but he still reminded his third brother: "Zerong, you don't need to do this."
Sheng Zerong smiled, his smile frank and sunny: "Eldest brother, are you afraid I'll fight you for Grandfather? I'm definitely going to fight for it. Offering incense to Grandfather cannot be your business alone; I must have a hand in it."
Although it was a refusal, since things had reached this point, Sheng Hanyu could only pat his third brother's shoulder. Without needing to say another word, the bond between the brothers was destined to last a lifetime from this moment on.
After the press conference.
Sheng Hanyu issued obituaries throughout Jiangcheng to hold a funeral for the old man!
Many obituaries were sent out, but not many people came.
Except for a few of the old man's close friends from his lifetime, and Yun Zhehao, Jian Yining, and Yingzi, not a single business partner who had been closely associated with the Sheng Family came.
The few of them knew that those people must have been instructed by Sheng Yukai not to come, all to make Sheng Hanyu and Sheng Zerong lose face, letting them know that once they left the Sheng Family, they were nothing!
It was just a pity that Sheng Yukai's hope was destined to be dashed.
The five members of the Sheng Family did all come, but they weren't qualified to stand in the family reception area and could only offer incense and bow like outsiders before finishing.
Shi Yucheng also came. Like everyone else, he offered incense and bowed respectfully, then went to Sheng Hanyu's side to tell him to grieve in moderation and take care of his health; the old man's spirit in heaven would surely hope he lived well, rather than being crushed by despair!
"Thank you."
Sheng Hanyu was sincere in his thanks.
Shi Yucheng was also truly kind; logically, since Shi Youxuan still hadn't been found and this situation had occurred, it would have been a normal reaction for him to gloat.
But Shi Yucheng did not; not only did he comfort Sheng Hanyu, he also took a bank card out of his pocket and placed it into Sheng Hanyu's hand: "There is 21,203,900 here." It was an exact, specific amount.
"Take it and use it."
Sheng Hanyu certainly did not lack this bit of money, but that did not stop him from being so moved that he was at a loss, and he hurriedly tried to stuff the card back: "No, I don't lack money to use, please take it back."
With the exact, specific amount, one could tell at a glance that this was everything he could scrape together; otherwise, it wouldn't be this figure.
Shi Yucheng firmly refused to take it back, stubbornly insisting that Sheng Hanyu accept it, and even said: "You don't need to feel embarrassed; this money is actually Xuanxuan's. I have treated Xuanxuan unfairly all these years, so helping her husband now can be considered helping her."
Shi Yucheng's concern for his daughter had not changed, but at a time like this, he acted uncharacteristically; instead of urging Sheng Hanyu to go find Shi Youxuan, he used Shi Youxuan's name to save her nominal husband.
Shi Yucheng was muddled when it came to doing business, soft-hearted, and his personality was not very clear-cut, often being taken advantage of by others...
But these shortcomings were not worth mentioning in the face of his kindness and righteousness!
Not only Sheng Hanyu, but others were also moved, yet what the others did not understand was: why did Yingzi cry like that?
