221. Legacy
,!
I looked at everything around me for a few seconds, and when I saw the familiar sheets and wardrobe, I realized that I had arrived home.
I don't know when I got home, I raised my hand and rubbed my aching head, only to feel dizzy.
The room was quiet, the white curtains of the window were being blown by the wind, and I looked downstairs and could see that there was a green lawn, and in the grass, from time to time, a few birds flew up and chirped there.
The sky was clear, a refreshing blue, as blue as the sea.
I didn't know where I was sticking out, and what year and month it was, I sat on the bed and was stunned for a while, and some dream images suddenly flashed in my mind.
I touched my throat, although it was a little dry, but it didn't hurt, although my eyes were swollen, I should have just woken up, could it be that it was a dream before?
I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked around the room, and after a circle, I went out the door and went downstairs.
When I walked to the corridor, I saw my aunt walking towards me, and when she saw that I was awake, she smiled at me as usual and said, "Miss, are you up?" ”
I looked at her, a little stunned, but quickly nodded at her.
She said, "Breakfast is on the table downstairs, go and eat it while it's hot." "Auntie was probably busy with something, and after she said that, she said goodbye to me and went to another room.
I looked at my aunt and continued downstairs, but there was no one downstairs, and the food was hot on the table as my aunt said.
I sat down at the table, and then I ate there, and when I had finished eating, I went outside to bask in the sun on the lawn, but after a while, I felt a little dizzy, and went upstairs back to my room.
After returning to the room, I turned on the TV, took the remote control and watched the TV station there, but after watching it for a while, at this moment, there was a commotion downstairs, I don't know who came, so I went out and went outside to see, just in time to see Chen Lin walking inside with a few girls of the same age as her.
It's about time to go shopping, and they're all talking and laughing with shopping bags in their hands.
I looked at them suspiciously, thinking to myself, how could they be here, how could Chen Lin be here, shouldn't she be in her hometown?
After Chen Lin sat down on the sofa, she poured water there to greet her friend, but her friend was wandering around in the hall of the house, and she asked, "Wow, Chen Lin, is this your brother's house?" ”
Chen Lin said with a smug face: "Yes, my brother's family." ”
Her friend looked at the decoration in the villa, and said with envy: "This is a mansion, Chen Lin, you are too happy." ”
Chen Lin said with a smug smile: "That's it, if you want to come over to play in the future, call me at any time." ”
Her friend thought of something and asked, "By the way, what about your sister-in-law?" I heard that your sister-in-law is very beautiful, does she welcome us? ”
Chen Lin drank water with a glass of water and said, "My sister-in-law? Her mother just died, and she probably won't have time to care about my idle business for more than half a month, and even if she is there, she doesn't dare to say anything, so you can come and play. ”
I took a few steps back in disbelief, looked at everything downstairs, and then staggered back, I quickly rushed into the room, the first thing I did was to find my mobile phone, I called the old house, called more than a dozen times, but there was no answer.
I stood there holding my phone and didn't react, so I put the phone on the bed, didn't even change my clothes, and rushed downstairs.
The people who were drinking tea downstairs were all startled when they saw me running down from the upper floor, and quickly shrank back to the end of the sofa, I didn't have them at all, but went out of the hall, and saw a car parked at the door, so I pulled the door and sat in.
As soon as Chen Lin saw me rushing out with a crazy expression, he chased me out and shouted: "Xu Kaiyan!" Where are you going! ”
Instead of looking back at her, I said to the driver, "Go to the old house." ”
The driver glanced at me, and then drove the car away from the gate according to my instructions, and the car drove straight out, about ten minutes, and after stopping at the door of the old house, I got off the car, and pushed the door and rushed in, and when I arrived inside, the room was empty, and I didn't see half a figure downstairs.
I shouted in the empty house, "Mom! ”
No one answered me, I thought she was in the upstairs room, she doesn't usually like to go downstairs, I pushed her bedroom door open hard, I thought I saw the picture, it would be my mother sitting on the bed watching TV, but the door opened and I saw two posthumous photos, directly opposite the front, my mother was in that small photo frame, smiling at me.
I didn't stand still, shook my head there, and muttered, "No, it can't be, it's fake, it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare." ”
I was about to turn around and go downstairs with my head in my hands, but when I reached the top of the stairs, I felt that my body was weak, and I fell to the ground and fell into darkness.
When I woke up again, it was in the previous room, Chen Qingchuan was sitting on the edge of my bed, with a potion hanging from his hand, I looked up at him and asked in a low voice, "Where am I?" ”
He stroked his face and said, "You're at home, open face." ”
I didn't say anything more, just stared at him blankly.
He picked me up from the bed, held me in his arms and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
I said I didn't speak, just stared behind him, Chen Lin was standing there holding something, she saw me staring at her, startled, and immediately took a few steps back, but soon, she walked in with food, walked to Chen Qingchuan's side and said, "Brother, the food is served." Then he reached out and reluctantly handed it to him.
Chen Qingchuan held me in his arms, reached out to take the porridge in Chen Lin's hand, then scooped a spoonful with a spoon, handed it to my lips and said, "You go out, let Auntie bring another cup of warm water." ”
Although Chen Qingchuan said to Chen Lin, he didn't look at Chen Lin at all, after he finished speaking, he fed me porridge and asked softly, "Is it hot?" ”
I didn't speak, I opened my mouth to catch it, but my eyes were still staring at Chen Lin.
She was stared at by me, so she stomped her foot and said, "Brother, she ran out by herself, I can't stop it at all!" I can't be blamed for that at all. ”
Chen Qingchuan said in a cold tone: "Okay, your sister-in-law needs to rest, go down." ”
Chen Lin glared at Chen Qingchuan, and ran away from the room very angrily.
Then Chen Qingchuan fed me porridge again, and he said, "Drink some porridge, and let's rest for a while, okay?" ”
I looked at him a little dazed, but didn't speak.
Chen Qingchuan fed the bowl of porridge in his hand until I finished eating, and after putting down the bowl, he helped me to lie down on the bed, and my aunt also came up with water, Chen Qingchuan originally wanted to feed me water, but then Dingkun suddenly came up from upstairs with a person and stood at the door waiting.
Chen Qingchuan handed the warm water to his aunt, who took it and fed me there, then he got up and walked towards the door.
After the people around Dingkun saw Chen Qingchuan, the first thing they said was: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am the lawyer entrusted by Ms. Song Zhen." ”
I paused to drink and looked up at the door.
The lawyer handed over a letter in front of Chen Qingchuan and said: "This is what Ms. Song asked me to hand over to her daughter, Miss Xu, before her death, and specially asked me to send it today, and Ms. Song has some inheritance issues in her hands, and she may need to hand over to Miss Xu." ”
Chen Qingchuan took the letter from the lawyer's hand, he took it in his hand and looked at it, he didn't open it, so he said to the lawyer: "Study please, lawyer Wen." ”
He took the lawyer into the study.
I sat there staring, and he didn't give me the letter for a while.
It didn't take long for Dingkun to come out of the study and say to his aunt: "Auntie, Mr. Chen said that you should help the young lady into the study." ”
When my aunt heard this, she immediately nodded, and then helped me down from the bed and said, "Miss, let's go in." She pulled the needle off my arm, waited for the bleeding to stop, and walked towards me.
After we entered, as soon as Mr. Wen saw me, he immediately got up from his chair and walked over to me and said, "Miss Xu, do you remember me?" ”
I don't know my mother's lawyer very often, and I saw him a long time ago, and I looked at him and shook my head.
He said: "I am very sorry for your mother's affairs, and I have come to disturb you rashly today, because there are some things I want to explain to Miss Xu. When he saw that I was very weak, he said, "Why don't we sit down and speak." ”
I looked at him and sat down slowly with my aunt's support.
The lawyer took out a bag of information, dug out a lot of contracts, and said: "Your mother has entrusted me with the inheritance in her name, and now that your mother has passed away, the inheritance will be inherited in your name, and here are some contracts for you to sign." ”
He handed me the pen.
I took it from him, looked at the dense text on the contract, and read it for a long time, but I didn't write for a long time.
This kind of thing, déjà vu, after my father died, there was also a lawyer like this who came to the house and asked me to sign countless documents.
I didn't expect that after a few years, it would be such a scene again.
I stared at the contracts in a daze, and didn't put pen to paper.
The lawyer looked at me, not knowing why I was, so he looked at Chen Qingchuan, who was watching quietly.
Chen Qingchuan came to me and said, "Kaiyan, this is your mother's lawyer, as long as you follow his words and sign these agreements." ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't sign it." ”
I put the pen on the contract, these things don't mean anything to me at all, I don't know how big the numbers are, I just know that these are not the things I want at all.
When the lawyer saw that I didn't sign, he looked at Chen Qingchuan in embarrassment.
Chen Qingchuan said to me: "Mom has made two disposals of the inheritance, one is to directly inherit it to you after the agreement takes effect, and the other is to set up the property as a fund, and you can choose how much money you spend every month." He squatted under me, covered my face and looked at me and said, "The formalities are complicated, these things must be done, be open, obedient, and sign them all." ”
