Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1353: Dust Settles

Old Master Chen passed away three days after being sent to the hospital.

The sons performed well at the hospital.

According to the old master's will, after cremation, the ashes were scattered in the river.

The funeral was completed inside and out in less than a day.

The five sons took the old master's bank card and rushed to the bank.

Everyone was pondering over the money, eager to split it quickly—the sooner the better.

They had inquired and knew that to access the money, all five of them needed to be present.

At the bank, upon hearing of their intentions, they presented the street-issued certificates, household registration, identity cards, and notarized documents.

It was actually processed for them quite quickly.

As they looked at the small stack of money pushed in front of them by the staff.

"What's going on here? My dad's card was supposed to have 100,000 yuan, how much is this?"

The five of them panicked, expecting 100,000 yuan, but the small pile of money looked like no more than a few hundred.

The bank staff chuckled.

"You must be mistaken. This old man's card only had a few hundred yuan, a total of 628.90 yuan. We've taken it all out for you. If you don't believe it, check the transactions yourself."

They were amused too, 100,000 yuan, but the account didn't have that much.

The five of them didn't believe it and immediately checked the transaction details.

Upon checking, they discovered that the old man had transferred the 100,000 yuan long ago during the eldest's tenure.

They specifically checked where the 100,000 yuan went.

It turned out to be a charity fund association.

Old Master had donated the entire 100,000 yuan to children in need of assistance.

Instantly, all five of them felt weak. They had completely not expected this outcome after all their efforts—a result of joyful anticipation in vain.

No wonder the old man was so tight-lipped about it, promising nothing to anyone about this money.

The old man had long planned in his heart to not leave this 100,000 yuan to the five of them at all.

At this moment, everything settled down, the old man enjoyed the joy of family until the end and, now, finally, left the world completely without leaving a trace by this means.

Probably, the only ones to remember the elderly man will be the impoverished students he helped, recalling such a kind elder who aided them out of difficulties.

Who knew Liu Hong went directly with her parents and brothers to Modu at this time.

The parents were to live there with her, and the brothers, worried about the three of them, wanted to accompany them and settle everything before leaving.

Fortunately, Liu Hong had money. After arriving in Modu, they first found a school for Li Hao.

Nowadays, with some money, out-of-town students can still attend school here and even obtain local school status.

They settled Li Hao into an elementary school.

Nearby the school, they found a house.

Although it was an old house, it was affordably priced.

But compared to the provincial capital's house prices, these houses were expensive.

It's an old-fashioned house with an attic, downstairs is a standard 3 bedrooms and 1 living room, with a spacious attic upstairs; it's perfectly fit for one person to live in. Although the house is old, with some renovation, it's still very livable.

Liu Zhiguo and Liu Zhiweng naturally busied themselves with fixing up the house, running back and forth, putting in a lot of effort.

Considering the hot summer weather, Liu Hong installed air conditioning at home for her parents' and child's health.

She also specifically went to visit Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao did not host her at home but arranged to meet outside.

It wasn't out of looking down on Liu Hong, but her own villa had become so grand that anyone visiting would feel slighted.

It seemed a bit like showing off wealth and making others feel inferior.

Moreover, she indeed had been quite busy lately, as He Weng's projects were nearing completion.

The Asian financial crisis rippled out, and the Zhuo Family was frantically acquiring the Company's shares, almost depressingly so.

At low prices, they were frantically buying up in the market.

The entire stock market was in darkness.

The Four Asian Tigers were being successively attacked by financial predators.

Bai Xiao had already established a temporary studio with He Weng.

In this studio now, not only He Weng was involved, but also had strong financial backing from Bai Group, Jiang Group, He Group, Yu Group, and An Group; just these capitalist powers together were enough to fend off any financial predator.

All their actions were carried out quietly, almost invisible in the market as retail investors making acquisitions.

They hired numerous financial institution traders, serving the personal interests, while their entered funds remained unnoticed.

Taking advantage of the market being suppressed to unseen depths, they were also implementing their own plans.

Everyone was actually feeling tense because no one knew when this financial crisis would end or who might intervene; up to now, the government had not interfered.

Everyone feared that the money they invested would go to waste.

The unity here was mainly due to Bai Xiao.

Before executing this maneuver, Bai Xiao had already held a meeting with everyone.

Analyzing the current situation of Asian countries and sharing her unique perspective and conclusions.

The esteem for her vision and conclusions meant that more people trusted Bai Xiao.

Otherwise, no one would risk their fortunes here.

The money invested during this period had almost evaporated, not even a ripple seen, now halved.

Except for Bai Xiao, everyone else was more or less anxious.

The studio was currently at rest.

According to Bai Xiao, she suggested everyone go on vacation for about two months; they wouldn't be needed.

The Zhuo Family was smug at the moment.

If things went as expected, in three months, they could acquire 56% of He Corporation's shares.

At that time, they would be the majority shareholder.

The Zhuo Family had already poured over two billion into He Corporation.

For their assessed assets, it was no more than a fifth of their total wealth. In recent years, they flourished, especially making significant gains in local real estate.

The two met and naturally had an enjoyable conversation.

Liu Hong spoke to Bai Xiao about her situation.

Without holding anything back, it was the relief after a release.

Bai Xiao was also delighted for her old friend.

But she also made plans for Liu Hong.

With Modu's high living costs and rapid economic development, given Liu Hong's expertise, dealing in garments wouldn't be a profitable venture. However, nowadays, with the majority being only-child families and the future's only-child generations, education expenses in this area were bound to surge.

If Liu Hong tapped into this area, there could be immense possibilities.
