Gu Nianzhi felt a slight discomfort in her heart.
He Zhichu heard her surprise and said disapprovingly: "It must be so, otherwise why would Ye Xuan make that trip?"
If he had known about this will more than a month ago, Gu Nianzhi would have been delighted.
But now, her mood is very low.
Because this will is no longer that important.
Through those two lawsuits, she basically knew everything about the Gu family's property.
In fact, Gu Nianzhi has actually taken over all the Gu family's property, and there is a will message from Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar on the submarine. Her takeover complies with all legal procedures.
Now this Gu Xiangwen's will is just another memorial left by her father to her.
Of course, He Zhichu didn't know that Gu Xiangwen left this holographic virtual portrait will. If he knew, he would definitely ignore this matter.
Because according to the law, the only valid will is the last will made by the person who was sane.
The will in the hands of Vanderbilt's lawyer has obviously been replaced by Gu Xiangwen's later holographic avatar will.
Legally speaking, the will in the hands of Vanderbilt's lawyer is actually invalid.
But Gu Nianzhi wanted to know how his father handled the distribution of his own property when nothing happened.
She was depressed for a while and asked: "...Have Professor He seen the will?"
He Zhichu shook his head and said concisely: "The other party just contacted me, but he will be here soon. He wants to see you."
"See me?" Gu Nianzhi pushed open the door of the mansion, lowered his head to change shoes at the entrance, and said, "Did he confirm my identity?"
He Zhichu paused, held his cell phone and said, "... Well, he asked me, and I said you were here, so he said he would come and see you, and announced his will at the same time."
Gu Nianzhi rolled his eyes, "Didn't he mention Gu Yanran?"
After all, Gu Yanran has been the apparent heir to the Gu family's inheritance for the past seven years.
When Gu Xiangwen made his will, it should have been before his accident. At that time, nothing had happened yet, so what were his intentions
He Zhichu sneered, "She? With such a big face, she can fool other people, even Gu Xiangwen?"
Gu Nianzhi twitched his lips and said, "Professor He, could you please stop talking about my father in this tone?"
He Zhichu was speechless. After a while, he said, "I was wrong. I'm sorry. When the executor comes, we will make an appointment to meet."
After he hung up the phone, he sat alone on the single sofa in the living room of Xishan Villa, resting his head on his hands and looking expressionlessly at the lush grass and trees outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
…
After Gu Nianzhi answered the phone, he took the little Corgi into the house.
The little Corgi squatted down at the entrance, waiting for Gu Nianzhi to bring him wet wipes to wipe his feet.
As a clean-loving dog, it has very good hygiene habits.
After Gu Nianzhi finished "serving" his little master, he went back to the bedroom to take a shower.
After returning from my morning run, I took a shower. I felt refreshed and all the depression I had just felt was gone.
Sitting in the restaurant downstairs and having breakfast with Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi told her what He Zhichu had called her just now.
Huo Shaoheng raised his head and glanced at her, and said slowly: "... He Zhichu released you from the blacklist?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Master Huo, do you still remember?"
"Can I say that I'm a little disappointed?" Huo Shaoheng smiled lightly and got back to the topic, "Is it that American Vanderbilt lawyer? How long has it been, and now you have found your father-in-law's will? Americans' work efficiency is really low."
Gu Nianzhi lowered his head to drink the porridge, "It's indeed a bit slow."
She was so slow that she thought that Ye Xuan had made a mistake and that Vanderbilt's lawyer did not have her father's will.
It turns out that Ye Xuan was not wrong.
After breakfast, Gu Nianzhi called Ye Xuan and told him about the incident on the phone.
Ye Xuan had been under the protection of the Special Operations Department in the past few days, but after the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife were found, their protection was revoked.
Because Ye Xuan is no longer a key figure, there is no need for those behind the scenes to continue to oppose Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan did not leave China and continued to run his own computer company in the imperial capital and lived a very peaceful life.
He chatted with Gu Nianzhi on the phone: "I went to the National Martyrs Cemetery to see Mr. Gu again. He was very good there."
Gu Nianzhi's voice softened, "Thank you, Ye Xuan."
Apart from her, Ye Xuan should be another person who really cares about Gu Xiangwen himself.
It's not because of Gu Xiangwen's achievements and merits, but because of his own kindness and generosity.
Ye Xuan felt heavy when he thought of Gu Xiangwen. He said, "People like Mr. Gu deserve such treatment and status."
So what
He is not dead yet, these treatment and status only make the living people feel at ease.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly and whispered: "I know, I hope they can live the life they want there."
…
The executor from the United States came quickly this time.
He arrived in the Imperial Capital the next day, and He Zhichu personally went to pick him up at the airport.
The executor was also a lawyer. He was fair, fat, and well-liked. He was even more low-key than the Vanderbilt lawyer.
Because all of Vanderbilt's immediate family had died, his property could only be inherited by other relatives in accordance with legal provisions, so the handling of his estate took a lot of effort.
The executor had been too busy until recently to deal with Vanderbilt's professional legacy.
This part of the matter was not Vanderbilt's estate but his client's interest.
The will that Gu Xiangwen made at Vanderbilt was also transferred to the executor upon his death, and was handed over to his sole legal heir, Gu Nianzhi.
Under He Zhichu's arrangement, Gu Nianzhi came to his office and met the fat and fair executor.
"I am William and you are Cereus?" The executor smiled gently and stretched out his hand to shake her hand.
Gu Nianzhi's hand touched his and he nodded politely, "Hello, I am Cereus, my Chinese name is Gu Nianzhi."
William looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully and said, "Before publishing the will, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Your immediate family members' identities need to be verified."
"It should be." Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Do you need me to do anything?"
William took out the official form and said, "There are several options for DNA verification. Which one do you choose?"
Gu Nianzhi glanced quickly.
There are three options for taking blood samples, taking hair, and taking body fluids.
Before Gu Nianzhi could speak, He Zhichu had already pulled out a piece of her hair, handed it to William, and said, "Hair."
William smiled and took out a small transparent plastic bag and put Gu Nianzhi's hair inside, "I will announce Mr. Gu's will after I send it to the designated verification agency for verification."
It was done quite carefully.
Although Chen Chen has verified the father-daughter relationship between Gu Nianzhi's DNA and Gu Xiangwen's remains, for William, according to the procedural regulations, he must find a third party to conduct DNA verification himself and cannot get the results from others.
Because although DNA is the most direct way of verification, DNA verification done by others can be faked.
He cannot just look at the DNA verification report issued by others, he must personally find a third party he trusts to conduct the test again.
General testamentary inheritance is not so troublesome, but Gu Xiangwen's inheritance is too large, and these procedures are written in the will.
Both Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu were familiar with American law and had no objections to it. They just did as William said.
The third-party verification agency that William found was a fertility clinic run by an American in the Chinese imperial capital.
The PCR verification they used was very fast, and the results were available in less than two hours.
During this time, he was chatting happily with Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu.
After receiving the call from that clinic, William laughed and said, "That's great! You guys are the best!"
Putting down the phone, he opened his briefcase, took out a document and put it in front of Gu Nianzhi.
"Cereus, this is the will your father Gu Xiangwen left with my client Mr. Vanderbilt. There are three copies. One is kept with Mr. Vanderbilt, one is in the hands of Mr. Gu, and the other is in the hands of Mr. Gu. Keep it in the hands of the notary.”
"I have two copies here, one in Mr. Vanderbilt's hand and one in the notary's hand. They are exactly the same."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, his eyes wandering over the two wills.
She said: "I don't know where my father's share is."
"It doesn't matter." William smiled gently, "These two have enough legitimacy."
Gu Nianzhi closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, please read the contents of your will to me."
William glanced at He Zhichu and said, "Mr. He, who are you Cereus?"
When the will is read, irrelevant people should not be here.
He Zhichu was about to get up and go out, but Gu Nianzhi stretched out his hand to hold him down and said to William, "He is my attorney."
Since he is Gu Nianzhi's lawyer, he is not an irrelevant person.
He Zhichu felt warm in his heart and sat back down silently.
The twinkling peach blossom eyes stared at the will in William's hand without blinking.
William nodded and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, "Miss Gu, I will now read out the will left by your father, Mr. Gu Xiangwen."
He lowered his head and began to read aloud word for word.
"I, Gu Xiangwen, made this will today under the witness of a lawyer and a notary."
"My entire property list has always been with my daughter Gu Nianzhi."
"All my property is inherited by the Cereus Charity Foundation."
"My daughter Gu Nianzhi is the executor and beneficiary of the Cereus Charity Foundation."
Gu Nianzhi frowned.
This will is really concise and concise.
It really doesn't sound like a will in the traditional sense, but more like a clue, an arrow pointing to the answer to the mystery.
And judging from this will, Gu Xiangwen's properties were not left to her directly, but to a charity fund named after her.
If there is only this will, it means that all Gu Xiangwen's property has been transferred to this charity fund and has not been transferred to Gu Nianzhi's name.
She can withdraw proceeds from the charitable fund and manage its operations, but she is not the owner of the property.
This is fundamentally different from the holographic virtual will left by Gu Xiangwen in the submarine seven years ago.
Why did he do this
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and asked, "When did my father make this will?"
William looked at the signature of the will and spoke for a while.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment. She was only one year old when Gu Xiangwen made this will, so the date of this will was eighteen years ago.
Judging from the time, Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar will in the submarine has invalidated the will eighteen years ago.
Gu Nianzhi is not worried about his inheritance, but is curious about the Cereus Charity Foundation.
"Who is running this charity fund?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.
William looked at the document and said: "This charity fund was established by Mr. Gu Xiangwen eighteen years ago. At that time, Mr. Vanderbilt was given an initial fee that could last for eighteen years. This fund has no assets, but now, It has assets.”
He looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile, "Cereus, you are now the executor and beneficiary of a charitable fund with billions of wealth. You are rich now."
