Neither of them inherited the old man’s talent. Even though people called them artists, their paintings couldn’t sell for much money.
Back in the day when the old man divided his wealth, they basked in the glory of the money he gave them.
Now the money the old man gave them is almost gone, and their meager income is far from enough to support their family. They are in a tight spot so they needed to find a solution.
After much thought, they shifted their attention to Yian Jingxue.
The property left to Yian Jingxue by her uncle and aunt was more than a hundred or a thousand times the wealth of the old man’s.
If only they could get their hands on Yian Jingxue’s property, they could live their lives comfortably without working for the rest of their lives.
They absolutely despise their elder brother and sister-in-law.
Their elder brother and sister-in-law didn’t consider them siblings at all.
Yian Jingxue was nothing but a young girl. Their elder brother and sister-in- law left all of their massive inheritance to Yian Jingxue and didn’t leave a cent to them.
What would a mere girl do with so much money?
Wouldn’t the money be inherited by someone from another family when she gets married?
The older couple had no sons to carry on the Yian family’s lineage and were considered an embarrassment.
They should have known to divide the wealth between their two nephews, Yian Jixue and Yian Jiye!
And Senior Master Yian was another fool, not keeping the wealth within the family but watching as his daughters-in-law turned generations of accumulated property into real estate and cash to leave to Yian Jingxue.
Looking at over a hundred properties spread worldwide and the huge amount of cash, they almost went mad with envy.
With that much money, the older couple failed to leave them anything, proving they were not regarded as family.
Since this was the case, they would not have to be polite.
If Yian Jingxue were to die, as her uncles, couldn’t they rightfully inherit her property?
Hence, they tried to cause accidents behind the scenes, hoping to get rid of Yian Jingxue.
They lived under the same roof, making accidents quite easy to stage.
Unfortunately, Yian Jingxue had a stroke of good luck and avoided death time and again.
In the end, she even studied abroad and ended up with an influential figure.
Once Yian Jingxue was in a foreign country, it was no longer easy for them to strike.
It would cost a lot with a huge risk of exposure.
They tried once, failed, and backed off.
They figured, the old man was still alive, Yian Jingxue would come back to see him, she had to return sooner or later.
They could strike when she returns.
Waiting left and right, they finally welcomed her home.
However, just two days after she arrived, she dropped a bombshell: she had made a will!
If she dies, all her property will go to her best friend.
This bombshell stunned everyone in the Yian family except Senior Master Yian.
Their dreams of wealth, their hopes of luxury for the rest of their lives, all depended on the property under Yian Jingxue’s name.
But now, whether Yian Jingxue lived or died, her wealth had nothing to do with them.
The bitterness of such a fortune being so close yet so out of reach was unbearable. They were driven mad, feeling worse than death.
But they couldn’t change a thing.
