Chapter 102: Wills
Prepare, remember, this matter must be safety first. ”
At this time, Han Yu's mobile phone rang suddenly, he stood up and walked to the window to answer the phone, and after a while, he walked back and said to Xu Zhiheng: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, our people just found out that Shi Rui ran away from the cellar of the warehouse." ”
"What?" Xu Zhiheng stood up and punched the table, "Damn! What do your people do? ”
"I'm sorry, I've already sent someone to look for it, and they will notify me as soon as there is news."
"He's likely to find a way to get out of J City, and the train station and airport will be watched."
"Yes." Han Yu agreed, and went to call and deploy.
Xu Zhiheng looked at Ah Wei and said, "What about Wei Ning, how is Wei Ning's recent situation?" Shi Rui may also go to her. ”
"Yesterday I already asked her to be taken to a gambling center, and the guards over there are very strict, don't worry."
Xu Zhiheng stared at him and didn't speak, the last thing he wanted to hear now was to be reassured, because he was always not reassured in the end.
Ah Wei touched his nose and said, "I'll call now to arrange for someone to keep an eye on her." ”
Xu Zhiheng retracted the sharpness in his eyes with satisfaction, and continued: "Find a way to contact Wei Ning's convalescent institution in the UK, I think she will be sent back there to continue treatment after she quits gambling." You'd better have a doctor over there who is familiar with her condition come and pick her up. ”
Han Yu walked back to his desk after making the call, "Mr. Xu, I just received the news that Shi Rui has issued a ticket for tonight's J city to Birmingham, England, and I will arrange for someone to intercept him before he gets on the plane, please rest assured." ”
Xu Zhiheng put his hands on the desk, because of too much force, his fingertips abruptly appeared blue and white, he lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Forget it, let him go!" ”
Ah Wei's eyes widened and said, "Boss, aren't you going to ask him about the child?" ”
Xu Zhiheng smiled bitterly and said, "As you said, does the answer still matter?" And I don't dare to fully believe the results he gave, so this matter is destined to have no answer. It's up to him! Settle down as soon as possible, I don't want to waste each of our energy on this matter anymore. ”
He exhaled deeply and said to himself, "That's it! Maybe it's better not to know than to know. ”
Chapter 102: Wills
On the day of Lin Xiaotian's burial, Xu Zhiheng and Ms. Cao watched from a distance as the people of the Lin family left one after another, and then they came to Lin Xiaotian's tombstone with white lilies in their hands to say their last goodbye to him.
Ms. Cao placed flowers in front of Lin Xiaotian's tomb and stood for a long time looking at his portrait, rubbing her fingers over the photo. Xu Zhiheng stood behind her with a big black umbrella, Ms. Cao was much calmer than he imagined, no tears, no chattering and muttering, just standing there silently, refusing to leave for a long time.
The rain gradually became heavier, and Xu Zhiheng's hand was on Ms. Cao's shoulder, "Mom, go back!" He had rarely called Ms. Cao that before, but this was the second time he had called her that way in recent days.
Ms. Cao turned her head, her eyes were shrouded in mist, the corners of her mouth squirmed a few times, and some words had reached her mouth, but she still didn't say it after all.
Xu Zhiheng helped Ms. Cao out of the cemetery, and in the parking lot, Lin Xi stood by his car with an umbrella and seemed to be waiting for them.
Seeing them, Lin Xi bowed his head slightly and greeted Ms. Cao.
"Something?" Xu Zhiheng helped Ms. Cao into the car, closed the door and asked.
"The old man's will was announced today, and the lawyer requires that both you and your aunt be present."
Xu Zhiheng's face was gloomy, and his body exuded a chill, "What does this have to do with us, you go, we won't go." "The last thing he wants is to have anything to do with the Lin family, but he can't figure it out.
"The old man's will mentions you, all the people involved in the will must be present before the lawyer can read the will, and now everyone is waiting for you."
"No matter what he keeps, we won't accept it, you can directly help me donate to charity!" Xu Zhiheng said and opened the car door to leave.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand to stop his hand opening the door, "Whether you plan to accept it or not, you should at least go and hear what his last wish is?" It's also the last respect for him, isn't it? ”
Xu Zhiheng was slightly shaken, and said after a while: "No matter what his last wish is, it should be fulfilled by his descendants to help him, I am just an outsider, I'm sorry, I don't have this obligation." Please don't waste everyone's time. ”
"You should know that if the beneficiaries of the will are not complete, the lawyer will not read the will. Can you stop being tough at this time? What exactly are you running away from? ”
"That's also your Lin family's business, you can figure it out by yourself. Aren't you also a lawyer? It can't be helped, right? ”
"You ......"
At this time, the rear window was slowly lowered, and Ms. Cao looked at the two people outside the car window, "Zhiheng, don't embarrass the family, let's go and have a look!" ”
Xu Zhiheng looked at Ms. Cao, "Are you sure you really want to go?" ”
"Go ahead! I'd also like to hear what he said at the end. ”
Lin Xi nodded deeply to Ms. Cao in the car, "Auntie, thank you for your understanding, everyone is now in the conference room on the top floor of the Lin Group, and I am waiting for you over there." ”
Xu Zhiheng reluctantly got into the car and started the engine to drive away like the Lin Group.
The conference room was full of people from the three rooms of the Lin family, and when they saw Xu Zhiheng's mother and son coming in, everyone's eyes looked at them in unison, and their eyes were full of hostility.
Lin Xi stood up, greeted them, beckoned them to sit down on the empty seats, and then said, "I'll go and inform the executor, when everyone is here, we can start immediately." ”
As soon as Lin Xi left, some people had already begun to sneer uncontrollably.
The third lady said: "This old man is old, but he still doesn't stop at all, we can't serve him well in the three rooms, but we still have to look for it from the outside, and find you to find someone younger and more beautiful than us when the time comes, just find such a one, and bring a cheap son." I really don't know what he thinks. ”
The second wife smiled and continued: "Sister, you are still too young, and you still think about things too simply, this is not even, it is the old man's romantic debt when he was young, and if you talk about it in detail, maybe we still have to call others sister?" ”
"What sister? Phew! The third lady said: "I don't recognize such a sister, we have worked hard to serve the old man for so many years, giving birth to children, how old is she, what qualifications do you have to sit here." ”
"Having children? Don't they also have a son? I just don't know whose seed it is. ”
The two laughed sarcastically.
The eldest lady listened silently, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, and she smiled with yīnyīn.
Xu Zhiheng didn't want to come, but he couldn't sit still even more when he heard such words, when did he suffer these grievances? Ms. Cao, on the contrary, behaved calmly, sat in the chair with a graceful demeanor, ignored their words, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, maintaining a proper smile.
She patted Xu Zhiheng's hand lightly, so that he could not be restless, since she was here, she was ready to hear something even worse than here.
The executor walked into the conference room accompanied by Lin Xi to read the will, the old house of the Lin family, as the foundation of the Lin family, cannot be sold, and each house of the Lin family only has the right of residence. Lin Xiaotian also made a proper distribution of the cash, property, investment, etc., basically one for each of the five children in the third room, with equal value, although the big house thought that he should have more points as the main room, but it was not good to have an attack on the spot. Next, when it comes to Lin's shares, Lin Xiaotian has 35% of Lin's shares in hand, in addition to 10% to each of his three sons, 5% of the shares are left to Xu Zhiheng, and he states that this share can only be inherited and cannot be transferred.
As soon as I heard this, the conference room suddenly became a pot. Xu Zhiheng didn't expect Lin Xiaotian to use this trick to tie him up with the Lin family, but looking at those people's swollen faces and angry looks, he was inexplicably refreshed.
"This is my Lin family's shares, what kind of thing is he, why should he give it to him?" Lin Fan was the most uncontrollable one, and he was the first to stand up and raise objections.
The others immediately chimed in, and there was chaos in the conference room for a moment.
Lin Xi had to get up and shout loudly: "Okay! You all be quiet and let the lawyer finish reading the will! If there are any questions, let's talk about it last. ”
Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly, and was about to continue to fight, but was pulled by his mother, and he sat down unwillingly.
The lawyer continued: "In addition to the previous distribution of property, Mr. Lam also has a village house on Lamma Island, Hong Kong, with a market value of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which was left to Ms. Cao Yali. ”
The real estate of 5 million yuan is nothing to the Lin family, so although everyone is dissatisfied with the old man's practice of leaving the property to outsiders, the reaction is far less fierce than hearing the shares to Xu Zhiheng.
On the contrary, when Ms. Cao herself heard the words "village house on Lamma Island", her emotions fluctuated greatly, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
The eldest lady looked at Ms. Cao meaninglessly and snorted coldly.
The lawyer continued: "The last clause of the will is about a collection of Mr. Lin, Zhang Daqian's pine and cypress map, which was given by Mr. Lin's friend, and Mr. Lin said that he liked this painting very much and specifically mentioned that he wanted to take this painting away. ”
Lin Fan's eyes widened, "What? The old man ......, what else does he want this painting for? ”
The eldest lady glared at him and said, "Forget it, ask someone to find out, and burn it to him in two days!" ”
The lawyer closed the document and said: "The above is all the contents of the will, Mr. Li made this will under the supervision of two witnesses, including myself, under the condition that the doctor is conscious, and the content is true and valid, and has legal effect." If you have any objections, you can also apply for a testament through the relevant procedures. ”
Lin Fan immediately jumped up and said: "Of course it has to be re-evaluated, the old man's brain must be sick and confused, what reason is there to divide the Lin family's things out?" Identification, must be identification! ”
Several people also responded.
Lin Xi had no choice but to stand up again and said: "I have the responsibility to remind everyone that if the appraisal is carried out, then before the appraisal results come out, everything involved in the will cannot be executed." Now that Lin's stock price is falling every day, the board of directors is eager to elect a new chairman of the group to stabilize the stock price, and if the old man's stock is temporarily frozen due to appraisal, the Lin family may lose control of Lin. ”
Lin Fan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he was still waiting to sit in the position of chairman of the group, "Then what should I do?" Third, you are also a lawyer, you should think of a way. ”
Xu Zhiheng helped Ms. Cao to stand up, and said with an indifferent smile: "You discuss slowly, and notify me if you have a decision, and we will leave first." ”
Lin Fan was anxious, and stopped Xu Zhiheng and said, "No, you can't go, give me the Lin family's stock and come out." ”
Xu Zhiheng sneered and said, "I strongly suggest that you find a lawyer to talk to me, don't bark like a mad dog and be ashamed." ”
He turned back to Ms. Cao and said, "Mom, let's go." ”
As soon as Ms. Cao returned to Xishan Villa, she sat in the living room and fiddled with the set of porcelain sent by Lin Xiaotian, and after a long time, she raised her head and said to Xu Zhiheng: "I want to leave J City and go back to Hong Kong after everything is dealt with." I brought you here from there, and now it's time to get back to your roots. ”
Xu Zhiheng stared at her, "It's as simple as that?" He knew that what she called handling it was Lin Xiaotian's will, and where she was going to the house that Lin Xiaotian left her. He didn't know what special meaning that house had to be for her and Lin Xiaotian, so he asked one of them to specify and leave it to each other, while the other had to go back to live.
Ms. Cao nodded and said, "It's as simple as that, as people get older, they like memories more and more, and they miss their hometown more and more." Lately I've been thinking about some people and things from the past, and it's time for me to go back and see. ”
"Oh well! Tell me in advance when you plan to leave, and I'll arrange it for you. ”
……
Elena's birthday is coming soon, and she heard the workers at home faintly mention that her second uncle is going to help her organize a small birthday party at home this year, and she can invite friends to come over to celebrate. She immediately ran to Situ Teng to verify that in the past, in addition to receiving expensive gifts from her second uncle, her birthday was only a birthday cake made by the workers at home, and she felt both shocked and looking forward to this outstanding birthday party.
After getting Situ Teng's affirmative answer, the first thing she thought of was He Bi, she wanted to officially introduce him to her second uncle and enter her life as her boyfriend.
The more Elena spent time with Hebi, the more she found that he was a very attentive and considerate person, even when he was most forgetful, he would not fail to consider her feelings. He is a partner who can definitely be relied on, and she wants to make the relationship between the two more confirmed.
However, thinking of Situ Teng's special identity, and thinking of the reactions of her classmates and friends in the past after knowing her family situation, she became a little hesitant. She had never formally mentioned her family to Heb, and she wondered if he would drift away from her as her former friends. Every time she thought about this, she couldn't help but start to worry.
On this day, Milo passed by the production department during his lunch break, and through the glass window, he saw Elena sitting at the desk with her cheeks in a daze.
Milo pushed the door open and walked in, his hand dangling in front of Elena's eyes, "What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Why do you still have lovesickness when you see each other every day? ”
"Say what, you?" Elena retorted with a blushing face.
"What a day! You don't even drive the car now, waiting for him to pick you up from work every day, so affectionate, you don't think we can't see it, right? ”
"Doesn't Xu Zhiheng often come to pick you up?"
"We are in love! I didn't deny it! But I won't be like you when I don't see you for a while, and I will be lovesick! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't miss him!"
"Your expression betrayed you, don't deny it."
"I really didn't miss him, I was thinking about the birthday party."
"Yikes! Did Situ tell you? I'd like to surprise you! ”
Elena was slightly surprised, "You know about this, too?" ”
"Yes, it was Situ who approached me and said that he wanted me to help you organize a birthday party, and he said that your twenty-fifth birthday should be celebrated. Really, I think Situ is actually very good to you, not as unkind as you said, you should strengthen communication. ”
Elena smiled meaninglessly and said to herself, "I see! ”
"Now that you know, why don't you tell me what kind of birthday party you want, I'll help you prepare, and on your birthday, you can dress up and attend."
Elena thought for a moment and said, "You said that if I ask him to go, okay?" ”
Milo tilted his head and said puzzledly: "What's wrong with this?" Isn't that normal for her to ask him? We'll all go then. ”
Elena lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
"Oh, by the way, haven't you told Situ about you and He Bi? He asked me that day, who have you been with lately, and why don't you always go home for dinner. I didn't tell him, I think it's up to you to tell him. ”
"I don't know how to talk to him."
"Just say it! What's so hard about this. As soon as Milo spoke, she suddenly thought that she hadn't told her parents about her and Xu Zhiheng until now, and now she and Xu Zhiheng are planning to get married, but her parents still don't even know a bit of news.
"Did you just tell your parents directly? Xu Zhiheng's reputation is not very good, don't your parents object? Hey, your parents are really open-minded, my second uncle is not so easy to talk to, maybe as soon as he hears that I have a boyfriend, he will go straight to it. ”
It's strange if she didn't object, she had already blocked her way before she said it, but Xu Zhiheng said that he would deal with these things, so let him deal with it!
Thinking of this, Milo said: "Actually, you can ask He Bi to talk to Situ directly,
