096 Branch
The second day after she returned to Mobi was the last hearing of the property arbitration.
"Cousin." Yan Qingjin was still wearing the half-new gray jacket, and sat in the appellant's seat early, with thin lips and a slight smile.
Scarlet glanced at him, her gaze moving to his side. The twin siblings look quite alike, Yan Qingsi's face frame is smaller, her facial features are more delicate and delicate, her clothes are very simple, a light yellow velvet skirt, and a light brown smock.
"Cousin." Yan Qingsi then also called, the corners of her mouth curled up in a friendly manner, but her expression was too restrained, and her smile seemed to be full of pity.
Scarlet retracted her gaze, remained silent, and walked to the position of the responding party with Lawyer Qin and sat down.
Yan Qingjin looked at his sister's trembling and drooping eyelids, pursed her thin lips, was silent for a moment, and her mellow voice sounded again: "Brother-in-law didn't come today?" ”
"If you have a problem, you can talk to my lawyer." Scarlet said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Shang has something to do and has informed the arbitral tribunal in advance," said lawyer Qin, considering that the other party did not hire a lawyer, he replied thoughtfully, "Mr. Shang's rights and obligations are entrusted to Ms. Yan Feijin." ”
"Oh." Yan Qingjin smiled and bowed his head.
Scarlet was not in a good mood, and almost didn't speak in court, only after the arbitrator announced the distribution ratio, she looked directly at Yan Qingjin's brothers and sisters, and nodded to Lawyer Qin after a while.
"Your Excellency the Arbitrator, Ms. Yan Feiqian and the person she represents, Mr. Shang Tan'an, have no objection to the outcome of the arbitration."
Yan Qingjin had been looking tense since the court began, and at this moment, Scarlet saw a sense of relief in his eyes, and she looked away coldly.
"However, some of the Yan family's assets belong to works of art, which were handmade or painstakingly collected by Ms. Yan's grandfather, Mr. Yan Qiben, and her father, Mr. Yan Youshi, and are not easy to divide proportionally.
Yan Qingjin raised his eyebrows, looked at Scarlet for a few moments, and said: "Dear Arbitrator, I understand my cousin's cherishing of the art assets of her ancestors, those are the precious treasures left to us by the ancestors and fathers of our brothers and sisters, and I also hope that they can be passed on from generation to generation in their entirety, so I agree to suspend the division." ”
Scarlet was very surprised, but saw Yan Qingjin smile slightly: "Five years is a little longer, I think it can be changed to three years." Also, the assets I propose to suspend the partition cover not only the artworks, but also the rest of the assets. After three years, all assets are estimated to be at market value, and both of us can exercise the right of first refusal, and if neither of them is unable to buy, we will split it up on a pro-rata basis. During this period, all assets are sealed and escrowed, and the right holder can receive living expenses. ”
Scarlet looked at Yan Qingjin carefully, and then glanced at Yan Qingsi on the side, and without much hesitation, she said directly: "I agree." Lawyer Qin was still waiting to signal her to think about it again, and she shook her head.
The arbitration was about to end, Yan Qingjin stood up and said loudly: "Honorable Arbitrator, now that my sister Yan Qingsi and I have clearly become the heirs of the Yan family, and each has 21% of the ownership of the Yan family's ancestral house in Zhisang District, can we enter to visit and remember our ancestors?" ”
"Yes, before the trusteeship order takes effect, all rights holders are eligible to enter the house. After the trusteeship order takes effect, the right holder must obtain the consent of the other right holders if it wants to enter. ”
Since the scarlet memory, except for the saddest days of the death of his mother, grandfather, and father, this day is the saddest.
She had no intention of sorting out her personal belongings and sat in the treehouse silently.
Yan Qingjin and Yan Qingsi came to the door at dusk. Scarlet listened to the manager's report, was silent for a long time, and walked down the tree house with a wooden face and went out.
"Cousin." Yan Qingjin smiled, "Sisi and I will stay in the ancestral house with you for two days, and it is rare for our brothers and sisters to talk together." ”
Scarlet stood coldly at the gate, silently looking at the brother and sister, Yan Qingjin was carrying the old brown bag, and also carrying a yellow travel bag, and his sister Yan Qingsi held hands and stopped three steps away from Scarlet, Yan Qingsi seemed to be trying to suppress the tension, showed a delicate smile, and also called her cousin.
Scarlet stiffened half a step sideways, said nothing, and turned to return to the hall on her own. There were footsteps behind her, all the way to her. She came to the sofa position, suddenly turned around, and just saw the brother and sister turning their necks and looking at the surrounding decorations, and immediately ignored the lady's etiquette, pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a touch of mockery, and there was no heat in her voice: "I asked the robot to take you on a tour to meet your long-cherished wishes." The rooms will also be ready for you to do as you please. ”
"Cousin," Yan Qingjin put the yellow travel bag on the carpet and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite, we are in our own home, and we can say anything." ”
Scarlet stared at him and turned to go upstairs.
"Cousin, if you have anything to clean up, Sisi and I can help." The mellow voice sounded again.
Scarlet stopped and turned her head.
Yan Qingsi stood beside her brother thinly, trying to make her voice appear affectionate: "Yes, cousin, we are here to help. ”
Scarlet snorted coldly unabashedly, and said, "You got what you wanted, and there is no need to say anything else." With that, she went straight upstairs.
When the chief manager came to ask for dinner, Scarlet came out of the bedroom, and she didn't bother to ask the brother and sister what corners of the house they had, so she asked the chief manager to arrange dinner in the big dining room.
She sat at one end of the long dining table, Yan Qingjin sat at the other end, and Yan Qingsi sat next to her brother. In the center of the dining table was a large bouquet of the most precious green flowers in Mobi, which she ordered.
The robot serves two nutrients for one person.
Nanny Ah Da and Ah Er stood behind Scarlet as usual, after they were changed into housekeeping robots by Shang Tan'an, the inner core still retained the nanny-type meticulousness, and they spoke and behaved softly, for fear that they would not take enough care of the only little princess in the family, at this time, they turned their beautiful bionic eyes, analyzing that such a sparse meal in front of them was not very compatible with such a large restaurant, Ah Da said worriedly: "Miss Tin, is it enough?" ”
"Miss Aya, if you don't eat well, ask the kitchen to make some supper." Ah Erdao.
"No, you don't." Scarlet looked directly at Yan Qingjin and Yan Qingsi, and said coldly, "I'll let you take a look at grandpa and uncle." ”
A virtual scene appeared in the restaurant, which was a video recording of the Yan family's grandfather and two sons dining.
The grandfather of the Yan family is not yet old, Yan Youyu and Yan Youshi are just the age of Yan Scarlet and Yan Qingjin, the father sat at the head of the table, the two sons sat on both sides affectionately, and the family talked happily about their studies.
Scarlet boasted of being calm, and her heart was also pantothenic when she looked at it, her uncle and father, who were both well-bred and noble sons at the time, and they were dignified and high-spirited, who would have expected that one would die early, and a widower would become a widower in a few years of happiness. The old man was elegant, had a good family business, good taste, and had ardent expectations for his two sons, and taught him earnestly, and even had to discipline his classmates for such a little thing as traveling on vacation, but he was worried about the chaos that happened in the same restaurant today thirty years later.
Scarlet raised her eyebrows and swept to the opposite side, Yan Qingsi's eyes were wide open, her lips were half open, and she was probably the first time in her life that she saw her biological father, and she was excited. Scarlet's gaze moved slightly, Yan Qingjin was obviously excited, but he could hold it better than his sister, he just looked at it seriously, but he could still feel her gaze, almost not long after her gaze passed, he turned his eyes to meet her.
Through the large bouquet of flowers on the dining table, they looked at each other silently.
To be honest, Scarlet thinks that the person who doesn't smile and call her cousin looks more comfortable and natural now.
"I hope that my grandfather and uncle can feel relieved that my uncle has a successor." "However, if my uncle is still alive, it won't be the two of you who will eat at the same table with me today, you will get a surname, and you will get a good living allowance, but you will not be recognized into the house by my official aunt and legal cousins, I think you know this very well." However, there is no one else in my uncle's group, and I will not comment on you. ”
"Today, the Yan family has officially branched," Scarlet stared at Yan Qingjin and Yan Qingsi, "In the future, we will each rely on our own abilities, and we don't need to communicate much if we don't have friendships, but no one should do anything that insults our ancestors." ”
