116 The Collapse from Thirteen Years Ago

Two days after Xu Lan left, his old man passed away. The official report stated that his cancer got the better of him, but other members of the Xu family insisted that it was because Xu Lan infuriated him.

It all felt inconsequential to Xu Lan. He was neither happy nor sad. More than anything, he was indifferent.

Members of the Xu family came to Xu Lan's doorstep repeatedly to the point where his doorsill was heavily worn out from their visits. They all tried convincing him to inherit the old man's assets. However, Xu Lan had no money to pay taxes. The rest of them were unwilling to fork out that much money for tax since they had yet to obtain the assets.
