Make a murderer his heir

Fan Wujiu's words were met with a wall of silence, neither father nor son looked comfortable with having their turbulent relationship so plainly exposed. Wei Xiangsi sipped his tea, Old Master Wei cleared his throat and shifted in his seat, his dark eyebrows creasing over his eyes.

"This old man isn't dead yet," he said, and chuckled, but without much humor. "Young Master Fan, don't worry about things that haven't happened yet."

"But as I just said: I have to expect the worst. I'm sorry, but I would be a poor businessman if I was careless about my money."

He spoke with such conviction that Xie Bian found himself nodding along with his reasonable demands. It almost made him forget that there was no joint business venture happening, and no money to speak of.

Wei Songlan scoffed again. "The matter of an heir is something that as long worried me, to speak plainly, I don't find either of my sons fit."
