Chapter 365: The Strange Will (2nd Update)
Mike squeezed his daughter Li Annie's hand and shook it weakly, then raised it again and stroked his hand to Li Manrui, who was crying at his hand.
How long had it been since the woman had finally shed tears for himself, and Mike tried to focus his eyes on the woman he had put his life on to protect.
Li Manrui's hair has been slightly gray, and the years have unconsciously turned this green silk and this gentle woman beyond recognition, and Mike feels very remorseful, they have had so many sweet and warm years, and they have had years that once depended on each other.
It's a pity that he did something wrong in a thought, and he planted the seeds that could collapse at any time for this future misfortune.
βDanβ¦β¦β
Mike's gaze passed through the top of Li Manrui's hair, and looked at Lin Zitan, who was standing majestically not far away.
Lin Zitan read guilt and relief from his gray eyes......
With the soft sound of a drop from one of the instruments in the room, the two female nurses immediately let out an exclamation.
Li Manrui looked up to shake Mike's already drooping arm, and Li Annie cried and fainted at the last moment when Mike closed his eyes.
The whole process was so hasty, and in a hurry, Li Manrui hadn't said anything full of resentment or gratitude, and in a hurry, Lin Zitan hadn't had time to say a word of forgiveness......
A group of medical staff rushed in, pushed their mother and son aside, and carried out emergency treatment again, but as time passed, Lin Zitan, who was holding Li Annie tightly in his arms,
I could only watch Li Manrui slowly calm down from the hysterical weeping, and finally wiped away her tears strongly, and together with the doctors, she personally covered Mike with the white cloth that symbolized death.
--------------
Mike's lawyer, a partner at David & Associates, an honest and respectful senior white lawyer, read Mike's will to them, except that more than three million of his bank deposits belonged to his only son, Leo.
All the remaining movable property, including the two remaining wineries and a mansion apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, was inherited by Anne Lee.
In addition to the wineries she already owns and the villa in Jericho, Li Manrui only inherited all the personal belongings in Mack's study and the wine in the wine cellar.
At first, Li Manrui and Lin Zitan had a lot of questions about this will, but after all, people were already dead, and they didn't want to worry about anything anymore, Li Manrui found his bank card and checkbook from Mike's personal belongings and handed them to Leo, who had a fierce look.
Over the years, since Li Manrui started to run a restaurant, she has never taken pocket money from Mike again, and she didn't even know that Mike had so much money in his bank!
It was probably from that time that Li Manrui's waist slowly hardened, and the gentle and lovely character slowly began to collapse in front of Mike.
Leaving the lawyer's office, Lin Zitan's car took Li Manrui and Li Annie back to the villa in Jericho, Long Island.
Li Manrui opened this home full of special meaning for her, and scenes of joy and sorrow came to her face.
The last time she came over, Li Manrui just came here to move her seasonal clothes and shoes, but now when she comes back, she suddenly has a feeling of being in a different world.
"Mom, woo~~"
Li Annie was the first to cry out in grief, Li Manrui stroked her daughter who was almost to her chin, exhaled deeply, and then made the most correct decision for her.
"Son, I still want to move back here, let grandma and grandpa come and ...... with us" She wants to make this house full of joy again!
"As long as you're happy, I don't have any opinion at all, anyway, no matter where you are, I'll arrange someone to protect you at all times. β
Lin Zi sighed and replied softly.
"You go to the basement and take all his wine away, your grandfather doesn't drink, and I ...... I don't want to see those things again. β
After Li Manrui finished speaking, she gently pushed Li Annie away, turned around and walked upstairs.
The lawyer said that Mike was going to leave all the personal belongings in the study to her, and she was really a little puzzled, so she just wanted to go to the study at the moment to see what was in it that was worthy of Mike to write it in his will.
--------------------
Lin Zitan called Xiao An and followed him to the cellar in the basement to move wine, he remembered that Mike did have a lot of good wine here, but he rarely went to the wine cellar on weekdays, even when he had the best relationship with Mike, he didn't go there a few times.
Two people descend from the staircase inside to the basement, where a large part of the space is used as storage for miscellaneous items, as well as a boiler room and a laundry room, while the wine cellar is in the most inconspicuous corner.
The door of the room is not big, and after opening it, there is still a trace of coolness, Lin Zitan turned on the light of the mobile phone, found the switch of the light source inside, and opened it with a snap, and found that this wine cellar was not small.
"Boss, here...... Why is there so much good wine!" Xiao An immediately exclaimed when he saw it.
Lin Zitan looked at it, as Xiao An said, it was full of all kinds of good wines, including two cases of Sauvignon Blanc dry white wine with an average price of 3,700 US dollars a bottle, the vintage was produced in 2010, and there were 6 bottles in a box.
There are also a series of individually packaged dry red and dry white wines, individually packaged Hennessy, Chivas Regal, Gin, Lafite, and several large cases of unknown wines.
It looks like there are at least about two or three hundred bottles, and each bottle of wine with the label on the label looks like it's some vintage.
Lin Zitan thought that Mike had been a winery for so many years, and it was not strange to have so much wine, the only thing that made him strange was the same as Li Manrui, these things would be written by Mike alone in his will!
"You look at it first, and you can put as much as you can put in the trunk, and you can finish moving it next time. β
Lin Zitan's eyes looked over the bottles of wine, and what he wanted to find was actually the answer that was about to come out from the bottom of his heart.
---------------------
Upstairs, Li Manrui walked into Mike's study, which was almost the same as the last time Mike had a conflict with her, the drawer was opened, and the guns and magazines inside were gone, and she didn't know that they were all taken by Lin Zitan.
The study is very old, except for the carpet that was once replaced by Mike himself, it has not been touched in these years, and Li Manrui has been around the study for a long time and has not found what she is looking for.
At this time, Xiao An downstairs suddenly heard an exclamation, which frightened Li Manrui and hurriedly walked out of the study to see.
"What's wrong, Xiao An?"
Li Manrui looked at Xiao An who was moving wine in the hall below from upstairs and panicked.
"Well, ma'am, boss, a rat just now came out of this wine and scared me to death, and I almost smashed the wine in my hand. β
Xiao An looked at Lin Zitan, who had been shouted out of the basement by his call, and Li Manrui upstairs, and said embarrassedly.
"Oh, I thought something was wrong! You scared me~" Li Manrui patted her chest and sighed complainingly.
"You say there's a rat in this box?" Lin Zi said in surprise.
"That's right, boss, didn't I just think that there were boxes of wine to take and pack, I just thought about moving these boxes first, who knew that as soon as I walked here, I was taken aback!" Xiao An immediately explained.
"You loaded the wine into the car?"
Lin Zitan looked at the box in his hand, it didn't seem to be very heavy, thinking that 6 bottles of wine should be more than that much weight, so he asked Xiao An to put the box in the living room first.
"Just loaded two boxes and this is the third. Xiao An hurriedly said.
"Go and bring back the two boxes on the truck!" Lin Zitan said lightly.
"Ah, why?" Xiao An put the box of wine in front of Lin Zitan and couldn't help but wonder.
"If you are told to move, go and move!" Lin Zitan said and waved his hand at him.
