Chapter 1540 The Secrets of Hai Xue’s Mother, Gu Weiwei

This time, Grandpa sent the siblings to the mainland to seek development and find their elder aunt. Grandma was very excited and urged them to bring the elder aunt back.

But just before he set out, Second Uncle secretly approached him and revealed some secrets about their elder aunt.

Second Uncle told him that if the elder aunt were found, she would acquire half of the family business’s shares.

Back in the day, when the Ou Family reached their great-grandfather’s generation, they had already declined, and the family business was on the brink of bankruptcy, with its capital chain broken.

That year, Grandpa married that elder grandmother, Gu Weiwei, who brought a substantial dowry.

At that time, the family suggested Gu Weiwei sell her dowry to save the family business. Gu Weiwei agreed but insisted on owning half of the shares if she did so.

Although Grandpa was in charge at the time, there were other clan elders, who initially disagreed. They believed that since Gu Weiwei married into the Ou Family, her dowry belonged to the Ou Family. In the future, it would be left to her own descendants, but they would still be part of the Ou Family, so what’s wrong with lending it to the family business?

However, Gu Weiwei persisted and argued with the clan elders, as the society believed that a woman’s dowry was controlled by the woman herself. Even if left to descendants of the Ou Family, they were only her own descendants and couldn’t go to other members of the Ou Family.

Given the situation back then, the Ou Family’s company was just an empty shell. If she didn’t invest money and waited until bankruptcy to sell her dowry to take over the company, it would belong solely to her.

Now, she only wanted half the shares, which was reasonable considering the Ou Family was her husband’s family.

Eventually, the family signed a contract with Gu Weiwei, agreeing for her to sell all her dowry and save the Ou Family Company, while owning fifty percent of the Qu Family Company’s shares.

With the funds from Gu Weiwei selling her dowry, the Ou Family’s business revived. After decades of development, the Ou Family’s assets have reached over two billion.

After Gu Yuwei died during childbirth, the Ou Family eagerly wanted to divide her fifty percent shares, and agreed that Grandpa would inherit thirty percent of his deceased wife’s shares, leaving ten percent to Gu Weiwei’s child, and the remaining ten percent divided among the clan.

However, as soon as Gu Weiwei’s death was announced, a lawyer came forward revealing Gu Weiwei’s will—she had written the will the day after signing the contract.

The will stipulated that if she died before the age of fifty, her fifty percent would be entirely inherited by her child, managed by the child’s father until the child turned twenty. If her child dies before twenty and leaves no will, the fifty percent would be donated to charity.

If her child disappeared, the guardian must make every effort to find them. If the guardian also died, the fifty percent would still be donated to charity.

In other words, if Gu Weiwei’s daughter died, half of the Ou Family’s assets would go to charity. If her daughter disappeared and the guardian died, half of the Ou Family’s wealth would still be taken by charity.

Thus, the Ou Family had to protect her husband and child to prevent half of the shares from being taken by outsiders.

It can be said that Gu Weiwei’s will maximally protected her child.

However, the child was abducted by a nanny at the age of five.
