Chapter 237: The point where everything started (2)
"You don't need to worry about Mian and Yu Yan. No one can deny the fact that Yu Yan is the successor of this family. In my will, I have taken all the steps that will secure the future of your family. And," Wang Lie paused and then turned around to take something out of his locker in his private study.
He took out a briefcase, an ordinary-looking, but it had something valuable, the heirloom of the Wang Family and beside the book was a letter that was addressed to Wang Yu Yan. Giving it to Wang
Fang, Wang Lie said, "This should be given to the rightful heir to the Wang Family. Give this to Wang Yu Yan, on her eighteen birthday, there is a letter as well, I hope that she can become the heir that the Wang Family truly wants."
"But father-" Wang Fang was cut off by Wang Lie who said, "Do not say anything, Son. This is my redemption."
With these last words, Wang Lie was taken ill the next morning, in front of Wang Fang, he took his last breath.
The five-year-old Wang Yu Yan woke up one day only to see her parents crying and the other people with a sad expression on their faces. She was confused, the five-year-old didn't know what was going on, and so, with her one hand rubbing her eyes so that the existing sleep from them can be removed and her vision can become clear.
In the other hand was her favorite stuffed toy that her grandfather gave her when she got first place in her class. Since then, the toy had been her friend whom she would hold while sleeping.
The toy was rugging on the floor and with her small legs, she carefully came downstairs with the help of the railing. Her cheeks had a blush on them, probably because she was inside the blanket, and her hair was messy, but she looked no more than a small angel that had just come down to the Earth.
With her small hands, she tugged the dress of her mother and then said with her hoarse voice, "Why are you crying, Mom? Why is father crying? Where is grandpa? There are so many people..."
Feng Mian looked at her daughter with tears falling down her cheeks, oh how can she tell this five-year-old, where was her beloved Grandpa.
Suddenly, Little Yu Yan unfolded her hands, asking her mother to lift her up in her arms. Mian did what Little Yu Yan wanted her to and she lifted her up in her arms. Little Yan whipped her tears that were on her mother's cheek, and she said, "Don't cry. Grandpa says that crying makes one's nose like a red tomato,'' with an innocent giggle on her face.

This kind gesture from the five-year-old pierced everyone's heart. Mian broke into a smile on hearing this, but soon her tears started to flow and she hugged Yu Yan and the little one hugged her momma back.
The lawyer soon came to announce the last will of the dead Wang Lie in front of all the people present and the Wang Family, including Wang Bai, who stood in a corner with a smirk on his face.
He had full confidence that the will we be in his favor, and he would be able to take over the Wang Family as its new successor, illigimate or not, no one could deny the fact that he was the older son of Wang Lie, but the contents of the will be totally different.
"I, Wang Lie, in a completely conscious state of mind declare my younger son Wang Fang as my successor and the future patriarch of the Wang Family. He will be taking over all my assets and the Wang Family assets. If anything happens to Wang Fang, Wang Yu Yan will inherit my all assets, and my daughter-in-law will become the manager of my assets until Wang Yu Yan becomes capable of handling the Wang Family. But, if neither Wang Fang, Feng Mian, or Wang Yu Yan are unable to inherit them, the whole will be donated to charity and for well being of the people. As for my eldest son, Wang Bai, he will remain as a member of the Wang Family, and will be given certain alimony every year so that he can live comfortably," the lawyer recited the will of the now-dead Wang Lie.
The will was like a slap on the face of Wang Bai, and true to his word, Wang Lie had done everything to secure the future of Wang Yu Yan.
Wang Bai, who was still in the dilemma of his plan going wrong was devastated, now he didn't want anything less than to destroy the Wang Family, for which he was looking for a chance, and that chance came when one day he discovered the heirloom of the Wang Family.
He overheard the conversation of Wang Yu Yan and Wang Fang, where they were talking about 'Spooky little thing' and how it had valuable medicines that could cure diseases many big doctors can't.
This was his chance, and something tricked in his mind, if this heirloom could be used in the black market, the money that Wang Bai could earn would be many times enormous than the assets of the Wang Family.
He got his opportunity, after two years of the death of Wang Lie when Feng Mian was diagnosed with blood cancer, soon he started to search for some people in the black market that could bring him enormous profits. Soon, Feng Mian passed away, which left a deep impact on Wang Fang and Wang Yu Yan. Every day was started to become a nightmare for the seven-year-old Wang Yu Yan.
That's when Wang Fang decided to send Wang Yu Yan away, overseas, to his friend and his family, for good.
At the age of eight years, Wang Yu Yan was sent overseas, Wang Fang didn't want Wang Yu Yan to suffer more with him.
Over these nine years, Wang Fang had set up a company of his own, and that company was doing very well, this added to the greed of Wang Bai, who had to put his efforts into luring the shareholder of the company. After a year of separation from Wang Yu Yan, Wang Bai introduced a marriage candidate for Wang Fang.
Although this wasn't necessary, Wang Bai needed someone to distract Wang Fang so that Wang Bai could take this time to bring all the people in the management of Wang Family towards him.
The marriage candidate was a woman name Sheng Rong and her daughter who was six years old, Min. Wang Fang remained loyal to his first wife, he didn't accept Sheng Rong as his wife, nor he looked for another marriage, in his heart, Feng Mian was his only true love. He ignored Sheng Rong for many years, let her do what she wanted, but somehow he became attached to her daughter, Min, she always made him remember his daughter, Wang Yu Yan who was abroad.
Soon, Wang Fang realized that Sheng Rong was not a person she deems to be, he maintained his distance from her. On the other hand, Wang Bai had successfully found a person to sell the secrets
of Wang Family, a person of the black market named Mr. C.
In exchange for selling the secret of the Wang Family to Mr. C, Wang Bai asked his help in taking away the company of Wang Fang, to which they both agreed to help each other, Wang Bai didn't know anything about Mr. C probably because Mr. C was a suspicious man, he kept helping Wang Bai from the shadows.
Thus, after that, Wang Bai started to officially ruin the Wang Family. Wang Bai made the majority of the people towards him, either with money or by threatening, this all would have been impossible without Mr. C who kept helping him.
Consequently, one time came, when almost all of the board of directors of Wang Fang's company came to side with Wang Bai. Wang Bai somehow proved that Wang Fang was not fit to be the C.E.O. of the company, by introducing false evidence of him stealing money from the company.
Wang Fang was truly clueless about how this happened, he was powerless when almost all his trusted people left his side and collaborated with Wang Bai. When Wang Fang came to know of Wang Bai's backstabbing, it was too late, he was already removed from the seat of C.E.O., and now all he thought of was now his daughter Wang Yu Yan.
On the same day when Wang Fang was coming back home, it looked like Wang Bai had planned to kill him then and there. On his way, Wang Fang met with an accident, if you would call it an accident.
...
Seven-year ago,
The clouds covered the sky that was clear some minutes ago, the clouds were so dark, that even the darkest night could not be compared with it. It was as if the clouds cocooned all the sky till where one could see above. Soon, strong and gusty winds started to blow, making the trees sway with it, the trees made a sad and terrible sound, that would creep a person out, who had just seen a horror movie.
ROAR
The gusty winds started to be accompanied by roaring strikes of sudden lights in the sky, thunder we call it. The winds started to growl the same as that of a lion, that was capable of making its enemies jump in terror from a distance. In this harsh weather, Wang Fang drove from his company, of which he was no longer a part of, to his home, where is the only contenement and his peace, his seventeen-year-old daughter, who was going to eighteen the next day, was waiting.
His only peace, that would never let him feel the absence of his wife. Often, he would tell her, that how she resembled her mother, her smile, with the exciting eyes she ran towards him, when he came home from a long day of work, her sweet laughter that had the ability to relax the tense and stressed nerves of Wang Fang. Oh, How much he loved his daughter. After his wife, his daughter was the only person in this world, that would wait for him to come home, to return to that big and lonely mansion.
In that dangerous and horrifying mansion, that space bounded by four walls that were just a mere place to stay for him, after the death of his wife. Thinking of his lovely daughter, Wang Fang somehow consoled himself after what had happened today. He now wanted nothing more than Wang Yu Yan's safety, thinking that, he was passing the cross-section when he heard something.
CRASH!!
