Lin Jie hurried back to Xiangtai Apartment and encountered An Kexin in the underground parking lot.

"Just arrived? Or were you waiting for me on purpose?"

An Kexin stepped forward and took Lin Jie's arm, saying, "Xiaoxiao sister notified me to come."

"I've been here for ten minutes. I didn't see your car, so I thought I'd wait for you and go up together."

Lin Jie kissed her on the cheek and said, "I understand, you're deliberately waiting for me, afraid I'll lose control."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Regardless of what's in the will on the other side, my decision won't change. Miaomiao and I will never return to the Xie Family."

He continued angrily, "Damn it, they keep coming at it again and again, never ending."

After complaining, Lin Jie curiously said, "Logically, since I refused to treat that old man, he should be very dissatisfied with me. Why would he still mention me in his will?"

An Kexin speculated, "Perhaps he's trying to move you with this gesture to eliminate your resentment toward the Xie Family!"

"Judging from how he arranged his children's marriages early on, he's someone who prioritizes interests above everything else."

"As a renowned doctor, you undoubtedly represent an extensive and valuable network of connections. To a business family, the benefits you bring are unparalleled."

"He must have realized this and thought to make one last contribution to the Xie Family."

With those words exchanged, the two of them, along with Qin Gang, took the elevator to the nineteenth floor.

Arriving at the doorstep, Lin Jie took a few deep breaths to steady himself and entered the house, holding An Kexin's hand.

In the living room, Zhang Xiaoxiao was accompanying Grandma Ma, while Xie Xingze was quietly drinking tea.

On another side of the sofa, there were two people sitting, a man and a woman in professional attire, with solemn expressions.

Lin Jie noticed that compared to last time, Grandma Ma's face seemed a bit more haggard and tinged with sadness.

He remembered that Shao Deyao had mentioned that this old lady almost became the wife of Old Xie back in the day.

Seeing this frail old lady tirelessly going back and forth for the Xie Family, it reflected the enduring affection between the two elders over the years.

Lin Jie approached them and spoke straightforwardly, "Grandma Ma, I made my stance very clear last time in the Capital City; I don't want any further association with the Xie Family."

"How could there still be a matter of a will involving me?"

Grandma Ma glanced at Lin Jie, a complex expression crossing her face, then her face turned cold, showing she did not wish to speak with Lin Jie. She snorted and said, "Xie Xingze, you should explain this matter."

Xie Xingze stood up, offered Lin Jie a wry smile, cleared his throat, and said, "Lin Jie, the current situation in the Xie Family can be described as chaotic, and the news will probably spread soon, so I'll be honest with you."

"It's like this: after the old man learned about your existence, he inquired about many things related to you."

"Moreover, he found out about your exceptional medical skills through other channels."

"Especially, he learned that family members knew about your existence more than half a year ago but kept it hidden from him, making him extremely angry, you could say he was furious."

"He believes that the family's children are all unfilial and only wish for his death to split the inheritance."

"So, on that very day, the old man called in people from the law firm to amend the will."

Upon saying this, Xie Xingze let out a bitter smile and continued, "Unexpectedly, that very night, the old man passed away due to a brain tumor. The latest amended will, thus, became the legally binding will."

Exchanging a glance with An Kexin, Lin Jie widened his eyes and asked, "He didn't leave all the family fortune to me, did he?"

Xie Xingze slowly shook his head and said, "No, the old man donated all the family wealth."

"Except for leaving us in the third generation each ten million, the old man donated all his assets."

"In a sense, this amounts to a true act of charitable giving."

Donation, a full donation?

This news genuinely surprised Lin Jie, leaving him quite startled.

Was this the old man's impulsive act of frustration?

Or was it a retaliatory move after seeing through his children's actions, leaving him heartbroken?

Or was it an attempt to scare and coerce the children, only to unexpectedly meet his demise?

"So, did this old man also leave one million to Ah Jie?" An Kexin softly queried.

Xie Xingze shook his head once again, face showing shame, and said, "Uh...no, unfortunately, the grandfather's will did not leave any assets for Lin Jie."

An Kexin frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Then why did you bring lawyers to seek out Ah Jie this time?"

Xie Xingze sighed and said, "In the will, the grandfather clearly expressed that he wanted to donate the majority of his wealth to existing charitable organizations."

"This will is to be executed by Grandma Ma as the executor, with the Daseng Law Firm as the supervisory institution for the execution of the will."

He glanced at the silently reserved Old Lady Ma, and continued, "Although Grandpa mentioned in the will that the estate should be donated to existing charitable organizations, he didn't specify... which charitable organization it should be donated to."

"This certainly leaves some room for maneuver."

"I know that the Anlin Charity Fund has been established for over half a year and has been committed to assisting seriously ill patients from struggling families."

Lin Jie was taken aback for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "You mean to say you plan to transfer all of Old Master Xie's assets under the name of the Anlin Charity Fund?"

Old Lady Ma gave a heavy snort and said, "Don't dream too beautifully."

"Transferring everything to your charity fund is not possible. Once the will is made public, those established high-profile charity funds will come swarming."

"Transfer everything to your charity fund?"

Old Lady Ma sarcastically said, "If it doesn't end up suffocating you, others will surely make your life difficult!"

At this point, she sighed softly, her tone softening a bit, saying, "After all, you have Xie Family blood in you, and you've cured my grandson. Coincidentally, there's also a charity fund under your name."

"It wouldn't be right not to give you some benefits."

"He has four properties under his name, one five-star hotel, two commercial building holdings, along with some minor shares in a few other companies."

"I intend to transfer the Xinmao Mall to your charity fund."

"The equity relationship in this mall is relatively straightforward. As far as I know, it generates about 20 to 30 million in profit annually, which should more than adequately support your small fund."

After saying this, Old Lady Ma weakly waved her hand, and two professionals in suits, who had been sitting upright, stood up together.

The leading thirty-something man spoke, "Mr. Lin, hello! I am Pei Liyang, a practicing lawyer from Beijing Dashi Law Firm, and this is my assistant Gao Min."

"We are responsible for the legal and procedural matters regarding the transfer of ownership of Xinmao Mall."

Before Lin Jie could respond, Xie Xingze spoke first, "Lin Jie, I know you have significant grievances with the Xie Family. However, this time, I hope you don't act on impulse."

"The will is such that if you don't take this inheritance, these assets will all be donated."

"With the profit support from this mall, the Anlin Charity Fund wouldn't need to beg from others every year. You could use the money to help those in greater need."

"As for your relationship with the Xie Family?"

Xie Xingze chuckled, saying, "Whatever happens, happens. You don't need to change anything because of this affair."

"The Xie Family will likely become a big joke in the Capital City once this will is disclosed."

Seeing Lin Jie's bewilderment, Xie Xingze explained, "Grandpa made a video will."

"In the video, Grandpa cursed his sons and daughters one by one, accusing them of being rebellious and unfilial, pointing out their deliberate concealment of your existence, and wishing him dead sooner."

"Hmm..."

Xie Xingze looked at Lin Jie somewhat awkwardly and said, "Grandpa also scolded you quite a bit in the video, and what he said wasn't all that nice..."

Being scolded himself? Lin Jie didn't mind; there was no need to dwell on the grievances of an old man already dead.

In the old guy's perception, he probably expected Lin Jie to rush over frantically, sparing no effort to treat his illness and extend his life.

Although Lin Jie had never met this old man, from Xie Xingze's descriptions and prior knowledge, he sketched out some of the man's character traits.

Self-centered, selfish, profit-driven, decisive and solitary in action, ruthless in pursuit of results, quite a bit like Cao Cao's type of hero who would rather let down the world than have the world let him down.

Regarding this donation, Lin Jie pondered over Xie Xingze's words and felt there was some truth in what he said.

The Xie Family's money is still money after all.

Generating 20 to 30 million annually is ample to support the Anlin Charity Fund's normal operations, helping at least two to three hundred struggling families solve problems.

As for the relationship with the Xie Family, one could, as Xie Xingze suggested, accept this donation and continue to distinguish themselves from them.

Even if other members of the Xie Family thought of him as an ungrateful wretch, what of it?

Come and bite me!!

Thinking of this, Lin Jie looked towards An Kexin and Zhang Xiaoxiao, silently seeking their opinions.

Zhang Xiaoxiao stepped forward and held Lin Jie's hand, saying, "A-Jie, this matter requires you to make your own decision. I support whatever decision you make."

An Kexin thought for a moment and softly said, "A-Jie, you are one of the founders of the Anlin Charity Fund, your official position is as its Vice Chairman, and I am the legal representative and Chairman of the Anlin Charity Fund."

"Strictly speaking, the person in charge of the Anlin Charity Fund is me."

"According to the charitable fund's donation policy, we welcome all legal and properly sourced donations."

Hearing this, Lin Jie smiled and said, "In that case, I, on behalf of the Anlin Charity Fund, accept the Xie Family's old master's estate donation and promise to appropriately use the continually incoming proceeds to help more people in need."
