little turtle in the reeds

Yuan Ye had just come out of the laboratory when he received the call from the hospital.It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, past the dormitory access control time.Seeing this strange number, he was a little impatient.However, he just finished a project, and he was in a good mood. With the thought of "maybe an acquaintance changed his number", he answered the call.

The other end told him that Yuan Xingguo was dying, and told him to go back as soon as possible—the hospital was going to issue a critical illness notice to his family members.

At the end of the call, Yuan Ye was still a little dazed.For two full years after graduating from high school, he hadn't even seen Yuan Xingguo face to face.In the second semester of his freshman year, Yuan Xingguo suffered a heart attack and was released on medical parole, but he did not go there.He didn't know if his feelings for Yuan Xingguo were hatred, anyway, his thought at the time was that he never wanted to see this person again.But now the doctor has finally announced to him that you will really never see this person again in the future, and he doesn't even feel the joy of fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

Yuan Ye's mind was originally full of recent scientific research projects, but when he was interrupted by the phone call, his thoughts suddenly became a little confused. He went back to the dormitory and sat in front of the computer, looking at the half-written thesis and lost his train of thought.

Let's go for a walk, he went downstairs after thinking about it, and at the same time sent Xu Yiran a WeChat message: Are you asleep?

Xu Yiran was lying on the bed reading a novel, saw the WeChat message he sent, and replied: No, what's wrong?

Yuan Ye replied: Yuan Xingguo seems to be dying soon.

There was no movement on the opposite side for a full minute, and then Xu Yiran immediately said, "Where are you, I'm here to find you."

Yuan Ye said: It's right next to the playground downstairs.You don't use it if you change your clothes... I'm just a little out of my mind.

Xu Yiran said: Wait a minute, I'll be right there.

Xu Yiran came quickly, running over in pajamas and slippers.He and Yuan Ye's dormitory are not in the same building, and they are a little far away. It usually takes about seven or eight minutes to walk, but today he arrived in three minutes.

Yuan Ye smiled when he saw him, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Why are you running so fast?"

Xu Yiran took a breath, grabbed his hand, and said, "Let's go."

Yuan Ye replied: "Yes."

About ten minutes later, Yuan Ye seemed to wake up from his daze, frowned, half questioning and half talking to himself, "The hospital let me go...how about I call my second uncle? In fact, as long as It can be relatives."

The second uncle mentioned by Yuan Ye is Yuan Xingguo's cousin, and the Yuan family has been managed by this second uncle all these years.

Xu Yiran said: "If you really don't want to go, don't go, but... don't let yourself regret it later."

Will you regret it?Yuan Ye thought, after all... this is the last time.

They walked around the playground for a long time that night, and finally Yuan Ye said calmly, "I'll go to my tutor to ask for leave."

Yuan Ye was admitted to University A by recommendation. He was assigned a tutor as soon as he entered the school as a freshman, and he entered the laboratory to do projects in the middle of the first semester of his freshman year.

Xu Yiran said, "I'll go with you."

Yuan Ye shook his head: "No, it's quite tiring to go back and forth."

Xu Yiran said, "Call me when you arrive."

Yuan Ye said, "Okay."

The next day Yuan Ye went to ask for leave from his mentor and counselor. When explaining the reasons, both of them showed sympathy and told him to mourn and not to be too sad.He didn't explain his relationship with Yuan Xingguo, booked the first flight, and rushed to the hospital overnight, thinking of leaving early.

He arrived in time, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he received a second call from his second uncle, saying that he had signed the critical illness notice.

Yuan Ye walked to the emergency room and saw Yuan Xingguo lying on the bed, his chest hardly rising and falling, and he looked as if he was dead.Yuan Ye's second uncle, cousin, and a large group of relatives he didn't know all crowded at the door of the emergency room, looking at Yuan Xingguo in the emergency room with a solemn and eager expression.

The lawyer who had been waiting here for a long time breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Ye didn't pay attention to these details. When he walked into the emergency room, he saw Yuan Xingguo's eyeballs rolled, his withered and thin cheeks twitched suddenly, and his gaze recovered a little bit of anger.

I haven't seen him for two years, Yuan Xingguo is already very old, like a candle in the wind, and he is about to blow out the candle.

Yuan Ye paused, glanced at Yuan Xingguo from beginning to end, then walked over to support him who was struggling to get up.Yuan Xingguo didn't know where he got so much strength, he grabbed his wrist with that shriveled palm.

"Xiao... Xiaoye." Yuan Xingguo murmured.

Yuan Ye lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Two lines of muddy tears flowed down Yuan Xingguo's ravine cheeks: "Xiaoye... Xiaoye..."

He has really reached the final moment, and it seems that it is only because of an obsession that he has survived until now.

Seeing his chest rising and falling like a broken bellows, Yuan Ye was in a daze for a moment, and vaguely heard him say: "Xiaoye... you inherit... mine..."

Before Yuan Xingguo could finish his sentence, he tilted his head and died suddenly.A brief flashback is not enough to support the birth of a medical miracle.

Yuan Ye maintained the posture of supporting Yuan Xingguo, and Yuan Xingguo's faces in different periods flashed in his mind like snowflakes.He stared blankly and inexplicably into the distance, his eyes slightly out of focus.

There was a sudden burst of miserable crying behind him, as if someone had died suddenly.Yuan Ye was pulled back to reality, looked down at Yuan Xingguo's withered and veined arm, and felt annoyed for a while.

After a long time someone came to persuade him——

The lawyer is about to announce the will, let Chairman Yuan go first.

Yuan Ye said lightly: "Let's just say that."

The relatives looked at each other, and finally the second uncle made a decision and listened to Ono.

Yuan Xingguo's will is very simple.The 46% shares of Yuan Group held by him, all the shares of Huangming Films, White Oak Entertainment, and Hengtong Real Estate, as well as all personal assets such as funds and bonds, are all inherited by his only son.

The moment the lawyer finished reading the will, the atmosphere in the room froze.All relatives turned their attention to Yuan Ye, including his second uncle.

During Yuan Xingguo's last days, countless people came to visit and even take care of him.Although he was imprisoned for economic crimes, the proportion of his assets that were actually confiscated was a drop in the bucket.

The falling out between Yuan Xingguo and his son has long been spread in the family. Now there are many versions. The most widely circulated version is that Yuan Ye and Yuan Xingguo are fighting for power. Wild's name crossed out.

Most people are skeptical about this, but they believe that Yuan Ye will not get too much.Yuan Xingguo might think of the father-son relationship and leave him a little power to make a living, and it would be impossible to have more.

No one thought that Yuan Xingguo would leave all the inheritance to his son, and would not give a penny to his relatives who took good care of him.

The second uncle Yuan Xingbang looked at this nephew who had just grown up, and felt that his fiery heart suddenly cooled down.

And the chairman's seat he was sitting on now became awkward.After all, although he is the second largest shareholder other than Yuan Xingguo, his actual shareholding is only 13%.

His son Yuan Jiabin poked him in the back and whispered, "Dad."

Yuan Xingbang ignored him and looked at Yuan Ye intently, waiting for his next reaction.

A 20-year-old child... Yuan Xingbang thought, can he understand the meaning of these inheritances?

He glanced at the waiting relatives behind him again, straightened his back involuntarily, thinking, now, he is Yuan Ye's closest person.
