  50 billion in US dollars?

  This figure shocked both Xiao Yi and Yi Ran to the core.

  She was not allowed to go into the room to listen to the lawyer read the Old Madam’s will, but Xiao Yi agreed for her to come in so no one dared to say anything.

  After all, the huge fortune of the Old Madam was to be inherited by Xiao Yi.

  Yi Ran knew that the Old Madam was rich, but she did not expect her to be so rich. She had estimated it to be $10 billion at most, but now, there was $40 billion more.

  Heart thumping wildly, Yi Ran’s heart was shocked and excited. She lowered her eyes, her pupils constricting as she tried hard to suppress the feelings in her heart.

  Just when she was still immersed in the excitement and happiness, Xiao Yi’s next words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of her head.

  “Old Madam, I’m not going to inherit your fortune.”


  What?

  Was Xiao Yi stupid?

  He was not going to inherit such a large fortune?

  The Old Madam was so rich and should be the richest person in S Country besides the Royal family. If you looked at the whole world, 50 billion dollars could be ranked in the top ten of Forbes World Billionaires!

  Yi Ran dug her fingernails into her palms so hard that her skin almost broke.

  But she could not say anything at this moment. She had to be patient.

  She did not believe that Xiao Yi would really give up this huge amount of assets!

  The Old Madam coughed weakly, her face pale. She called Xiao Yi to the bedside and held his hand with her old and wrinkled hand. “Xiao Yi, you’re your Aunt Qing’s most loved son. Who else would I leave this to if not for you? I don’t have much time left and I don’t know if I can make it to see tomorrow’s sunrise. My biggest wish now is for someone to inherit my family business and continue to expand my charity to help more people.”


  Xiao Yi held the old lady’s bony hand and said thickly, “Please let me think about it.”


  “Okay, I’ll give you one night to think about it.”


  Nodding, Xiao Yi looked at the Old Madam’s eyes which were so dim, and he felt upset and a heaviness in his heart.

  He had troubled Aunt Qing when he was young and now, how could he inherit Aunt Qing’s mother’s huge amount of fortune?

  The Old Madam was tired and wanted to rest, so Xiao Yi and Yi Ran left her room.

  The doctor said that the Old Madam’s days were numbered so the butler arranged for Xiao Yi and Yi Ran to stay in the house.

  Yi Ran followed behind Xiao Yi and she could not help but asked softly, “Brother Xiao Yi, won’t the Old Madam be happier if you inherit her fortune and business?”


  Turning to look at Yi Ran, Xiao Yi said, “I don’t have the Old Madam’s abilities. If the business she had worked so hard for all her life was to get destroyed in my hands, wouldn’t I be a sinner?”


  Yi Ran wanted to reason with him, but it was apparent that Xiao Yi did not want to continue this topic as he pushed open his room’s door and went in.

  Biting her lip, Yi Ran returned to her own room. What else could she do?

  Why was Xiao Yi so stubborn?

  No, he could not just say he did not want to inherit such a large fortune. With a hand on her abdomen, Yi Ran patted her stomach gently. Even if he did not want it, his son wanted it!

  Yi Ran made a call and after discussing it with the person on the other end of the line, Yi Ran decided to hypnotize Xiao Yi again.

  Yi Ran had thought about hypnotizing the Old Madam before and making the Old Madam leave her fortune to her, but after thinking further, it did not make sense to leave it to her. Yi Ran was just an orphan the Old Madam sponsored and although she was close to the Old Madam, it was not to the state where the Old Madam could completely trust her.

  Besides, the Old Madam’s lawyer had studied psychology before. If she made even the slightest mistake, she might lose the game she had been working so hard on.

  Xiao Yi was different. He was a rough man and had never gone to school much. Although he was experienced in society and was difficult to trick, didn’t she still get pregnant with his child?

  Yi Ran took out a set of Xia Yanran’s style of clothing from her suitcase and then made her hair wavy. Looking at the mirror, she put on an exquisite makeup.

  After putting on the makeup, the girl who looked only 40-50% like Xia Yanran, now looked 70-80% similar to her under the light. To finish the ensemble, Yi Ran took out a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on her body.

  When it was almost eleven at night, Yi Ran got up, went downstairs to prepare supper and took it up to Xiao Yi’s room.

  Xiao Yi had not slept and was sitting on the sofa smoking and reading some documents.

  Hearing the knock on the door, he said, “Come in.”


  Yi Ran went in with the supper and seeing the outline of Xiao Yi’s perfect and charming side profile, Yi Ran’s heart thumped.

  “Brother Xiao Yi, the butler asked the servant to make stewed bird’s nest with coconut essence. I brought a bowl for you. Have a taste!”


  Xiao Yi raised his head from the screen of his phone and glanced at Yi Ran. Seeing her exquisite and beautiful face that looked so much like Xia Yanran, he was slightly dazed.

  A faint fragrance wafted to his nose and Xiao Yi raised his fingers to pinch his nose bridge. “Yanran?”


  Yi Ran put the bowl on the small round table and crouched down in front of Xiao Yi, raising her delicate chin to look at him, her eyes bright like the moon at night, exuding an attractive brightness.

  “Brother Xiao Yi, do you think I’m beautiful?”


  Xiao Yi’s deep eyes gradually became listless and empty. Yi Ran’s lips lifted when she saw his expression and her voice became even more gentle and seductive. “Brother Xiao Yi, are you willing to listen to me?”


  Xiao Yi looked at the woman in front of him and his sexy lips moved. “Yes.”


  Yi Ran felt a joy in her heart. Finally, the hypnosis had worked on Xiao Yi.

  “If you listen to me, you’re going to do this……”
……

  The next day before dawn, Xiao Yi was awoken by the shouts of the Old Madam’s butler.

  “Young Master Xiao, Old Madam is dying.”


  Xiao Yi’s heart tightened and he quickly put on a jacket and followed the butler downstairs. Yi Ran also heard the news and came out from the room next door.

  “Brother Xiao Yi, Old Madam……”


  Xiao Yi nodded. “I’ll go and have a look.”


  Looking at him giving her a gentle look, Yi Ran’s heart skipped a beat. So it felt like this to be treated gently by him.

  It was a happy and sweet feeling!

  Although it was because he was hypnotized by her, she did not care so much about it! After Xiao Yi inherited the Old Madam’s fortune, she would have everything!

  After Xiao Yi entered the Old Madam’s room, Yi Ran did not follow in. She was after all pregnant and she found it unlucky to see the Old Madam for the last time.

  Xiao Yi had been in the room for about half an hour when suddenly, a cry of grief sounded.

  It was the butler’s cry. He had after all been with the Old Madam for many years and the Old Madam’s passing filled him with grief.

  Yi Ran stood in the doorway and glanced inside. Xiao Yi and the butler were kneeling by the bed and Xiao Yi’s hands were tightly holding the Old Madam’s. The Old Madam looked peaceful when she passed away.

  There were cries of grief in the house and Yi Ran looked at the servants who were quietly weeping. As she observed them, she stood by the side and gave a snort of contempt.
