Chapter 238: Chapter 238: The End of Ill Intentions_1

"I know you’ve always favored Wang Youtao, but Youbao is my only son. His name is Wang Youbao, and no one shall think of taking away what belongs to him." After pausing, Landlord Wang continued, "They’re clearly trying to snatch away my property from Youbao, and I don’t believe you fail to see that."

Those uncles and elder cousins all hung their heads in shame.

"Now that I’m clear-headed today, I want to settle everything that needs to be explained, and take care of all that needs to be handled." Saying this, Landlord Wang took the pillow from under his head and handed it to Wang Youbao. "Youbao, tear open this pillow, inside there’s the key to my treasure chest. I’m giving it to you now; keep it safe."

Madam and Wang Youtao immediately turned red with jealousy. These past days, they had searched the entire room without finding the key, and never anticipated that this old man would have hidden the key inside a pillow!

Seeing Madam and Wang Youtao glaring hatefully at the key in Wang Youbao’s hand, An Jing’s lips curled with a sneer. These people, harboring ill intentions, deserved to get nothing at all.

Landlord Wang looked at Wang Youbao: "All my land deeds, property titles, and the contracts for several shops are in that treasure chest. From now on, this household is yours. Youbao, your father doesn’t ask for your glory or wealth, only that you have no worries for food and clothing, and live in peace."

"Father..." Wang Youbao, who had just found the key in the pillow, teared up again on hearing Landlord Wang’s words.

Landlord Wang sighed and then turned to his housekeeper: "Housekeeper, you have been following me all these years. After I die, you will follow Youbao, who is my only concern. Also, after my death, give the storeroom key to Youbao. Aside from him, do not let anyone touch a thing in the storeroom."

The housekeeper had always been loyal to Landlord Wang alone, and now with tears said, "Yes, Master."

Seeing Landlord Wang giving everything to Wang Youbao, the uncles and elder cousins exchanged looks, until finally one of the eldest spoke: "This isn’t reasonable. Although you were confused at the time, Wang Youtao has been adopted under your name and is already counted as your son. You should still leave something for him."

"I’m clear-headed now, not confused anymore. Whether you’re happy about it or not, I only have one son, Youbao. As for Wang Youtao, you should remove his name from under my account. If you’re unwilling to do so, I will have someone throw Wang Youtao out of my household now and expunge him from the Wang family, creating a separate family tree for my household." Landlord Wang was kindhearted, but when he needed to be tough, he was unflinchingly so. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become as wealthy as he was.

"You—" The uncles and elder cousins were all stunned.

Madam was entirely dumbfounded. All her efforts had come to naught.

Wang Youtao, on the other hand, was infuriated: "You old coot, how can you do this? After adopting me, you’re casting me out again!" Being cast out like this, he would become a laughingstock! With not a penny gained and the subject of ridicule, how could he ever be content?

Yu Daming immediately stopped Wang Youtao, who had been spoiled his whole life, from charging at Landlord Wang, preventing him from harming him.

The uncles and elder cousins frowned disapprovingly upon hearing Wang Youtao curse at Landlord Wang. They knew that their clan’s comfortable life was thanks to Landlord Wang’s continuous support.

They were indeed grateful for everything Landlord Wang had done for the clan.

The eldest uncle promptly said, "We will organize a family meeting later to revise the family tree and reassign Wang Youtao under the name of your second brother."
