Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Zhaodi's words were truly vicious; ordinary people hearing them would likely be furious.

But Wang Xiaohua's expression didn't change.

Because he knew Wang Zhaodi was deliberately trying to provoke him, wanting to muddy the waters.

These people probably knew better than anyone that they had no inheritance rights to this house; they were just relying on Wang Xiaohua being an outsider by surname to cause trouble, hoping to blow things up and then seize the house for themselves.

How could Wang Xiaohua possibly let them succeed?

Facing Wang Zhaodi's sarcastic mockery, Wang Xiaohua replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"You have the nerve to say you came to demand an explanation? Where were you when my father-in-law had his accident? Where were you when Jianjia was in difficulty? My father-in-law's and my wife's ashes are both in this room right now; do you dare face their ashes, pound your chests, and say your consciences are clear?"

Once Wang Xiaohua said this, Wang Zhaodi couldn't parry for a moment.

Li Bofu and Li Shunming, father and son, were also extremely surprised.

"What? Their ashes are actually placed here?"

Li Bofu's face looked ugly.

It was obvious he hadn't expected Wang Xiaohua would actually use this house to store ashes.

Wang Xiaohua sneered:

"The master bedroom holds my father-in-law's ashes; that side bedroom holds my wife's ashes. If you don't believe me, go look for yourselves. Disturbing them like this, aren't you afraid they'll come find you in the middle of the night to settle accounts?"

Li Shunming's face showed fear, but he didn't quite believe Wang Xiaohua's words.

He hurried into the master bedroom; the moment he opened the door, Li Zhongxian's black-and-white portrait met his eyes, and behind the portrait sat a conspicuous urn!

Li Shunming was immediately startled; his spine turned a bit cold.

Because he always felt Li Zhongxian's portrait — those eyes were staring at him!

Li Bofu walked over at this time.

Seeing Li Zhongxian's ashes really were here, he no longer dared act so arrogantly.

Instead he hurried over and bowed to Li Zhongxian's portrait:

"Cousin, don't blame us; we're also concerned about you and your daughter. Rest assured, we'll definitely help you investigate your daughter's death thoroughly!"

Li Bofu said this whole speech to Li Zhongxian's portrait.

Then he turned and came out to the living room, and said to Li Shunming and Wang Zhaodi:

"Let's go!"

Li Shunming was a bit unwilling and hurriedly said:

"Dad, we're just leaving like this?"

Li Bofu glared at him coldly:

"If you don't leave, do you want to stay and spend the night with your uncle?"

Li Shunming's expression changed slightly; he didn't dare say anything more.

He hurriedly followed them out.

Wang Xiaohua watched this bunch come aggressively and leave in a sorry state, and couldn't help finding it funny.

They say if you don't do dishonest things, you aren't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

These bastards know perfectly well in their hearts that they're doing dishonest things, so the moment they learned Li Zhongxian's and Li Jianjia's ashes were in this house, they immediately felt utterly guilty and didn't dare shout loudly anymore.

But Wang Xiaohua also knew that since this bunch had their eyes on this house, they definitely wouldn't give up easily.

Sure enough, Li Bofu brought Li Shunming, Wang Zhaodi, and several other relatives outside; while waiting for the elevator, Li Shunming couldn't help asking:

"Dad, are we really giving up just like that? Wang Xiaohua is an outsider by surname; what virtue or ability does he have to occupy our Li family's house?"

Li Bofu said with a gloomy face:

"We definitely can't give up just like this, but right now your uncle's and cousin's ashes are in the house; if we directly seize it we'll definitely be blamed by them, and then we'll have constant bad luck — that would be more loss than gain."

"Then what do you say we do?" Li Shunming asked.

Li Bofu said:

"This Wang Xiaohua still studies, right? He can't guard this house forever. After he leaves, we'll come knock, invite a Taoist to perform transcendence for your uncle and cousin, bring them back to the Li Family Ancestral Grave for burial, then change the door and lock and move right in. When Wang Xiaohua comes back, he won't be able to do anything to us!"

Hearing this, Li Shunming thought it made perfect sense.

The house is being used to store ashes now; moving in directly wouldn't sit well with him either.

Indeed they should invite a Taoist to perform transcendence.

But Wang Zhaodi raised an objection:

"Li Jianjia was already married off, wasn't she? By the rules she can't enter our Li Family Ancestral Grave!"

Li Bofu's brows furrowed slightly:

"That's true; the ancestors' rules can't be broken. Then after Li Jianjia is transcended, we'll have the Taoist take her ashes away and scatter them in the Zi River."

Li Bofu also said:

"Since Wang Xiaohua won't take Li Jianjia back to the Wang family for burial, don't blame us for doing this!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't hear these words, but he also guessed they wouldn't let it rest.

So he had to quickly come up with a countermeasure.

He'd have to return to Beijing before long; he couldn't stay guarding this house forever. What to do?

The best method, naturally, is to rent this house out to someone else to live in. As long as someone lives there, those ugly Li family relatives won't be able to seize the house.

But this house contains the ashes of Li Jianjia and Li Zhongxian; ordinary people certainly wouldn't be willing to rent it, and even if it were given away for free to live in, people still wouldn't be willing to live there.

What to do about this?

Wang Xiaohua thought back and forth, and in the end simply went all the way.

He made a phone call to Wang Erhai:

"Erhai, do you know some friends who do renovation?"

Wang Erhai was stunned, and asked doubtfully:

"I know quite a few, what's up?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"I want you to help me hire people to completely renovate this apartment that Jianjia's family left behind."

Wang Erhai then asked:

"What do you want the apartment renovated into?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Renovate the entire apartment into the appearance of a yin residence tomb chamber."

Wang Erhai was stunned again:

"What? You're not joking?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Not joking. Someone wants to seize this apartment, and I can't possibly live here all the time, so to prevent those people from taking over the apartment, directly renovating it into a tomb chamber is the best choice. After all, this apartment is now only used to hold the ashes of Jianjia and her father."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai suddenly realized, and he hurriedly said:

"Alright, I'll find you a renovation team when I turn back! You wait for my news!"

Wang Erhai hung up Wang Xiaohua's phone, and directly went to contact the people at Li Guoshan Decoration Company, having them take this job at market price. After all, he still held 15% of the shares in that company; even if he was no longer in management, he could still be friends with Huo Guoqiang and Wu Moli, so having Li Guoshan do this business was the best choice.

Li Guoshan Decoration Company is professional, but hearing the client's request was to renovate the apartment into a tomb chamber, there was still some difference; after all, such a request was still the first time encountered.

But Huo Guoqiang ultimately still personally made the decision and took this order down, not for anything else, just to give Wang Erhai a favor, to lay good groundwork for pulling Wang Erhai back into the company later to oppose Zhang Sheng and Wu Moli.
