"That's right. It was because Shaoheng was the only nephew at that time. Isn't he guilty of writing such a will?!" Huo Xuenong replied indignantly, "I did it for his own good, for the sake of this family! You actually think I did it for a little money?! "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
A nine-figure asset was just "a little money"?
Old Master Huo was too shameless.
Gu Nianzhi cursed him inwardly. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Zhang family's ecstatic faces. It was as if they had been hit by a pie from the sky. She immediately felt that she couldn't bear it.
Huo Shaoheng seemed to know what she was going to do and shook his head at her.
This was his family matter, and he didn't want Gu Nianzhi to play the bad guy too much.
If he wanted to go against grandfather Huo, he had to do it himself.
Gu Nianzhi understood what Huo Shaoheng meant and looked at him worriedly. Her heart ached.
Huo Shaoheng smiled slightly and held her hand tightly. It was as if he was giving her support, but also as if he was looking for strength from her support.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "… Go ahead."
She would help Huo Shaoheng fill in the gaps.
Everyone in the ward felt that the two of them were exchanging flirtatious glances.
Cai Shengnan was the first to be unable to take it anymore. She turned around angrily and turned her back to Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi.
Luo Jialan had suffered a double blow. She was in a trance and didn't pay attention to Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng at all.
Xie Shenxing, on the other hand, was watching happily and couldn't wait to give them a thumbs up.
Zhang Wenjie's gaze was fixed on Gu Nianzhi's face the entire time. It wasn't until Huo Shaoheng's sharp gaze swept over that he shivered and looked away.
Zhang Wenna and Zhang Baochen's attention was completely focused on grandfather Huo.
Huo Shaoheng put the copy of Huo Guanyuan's will back into the envelope and took a few steps forward. He stood in front of Huo Xuenong's bed and said calmly, "Grandfather, it's hard for me to accept what you said about uncle. Just based on the distribution of the trust fund, it's too much to say that uncle covets his sister-in-law. "
"I'm a soldier, a soldier who protects the honor of my comrades and comrades. I'm also my mother's son. If you continue to insist on this and humiliate my mother and uncle, I'm sorry. I'll take you to court even if you're my grandfather. "
"You dare to say that there's nothing fishy going on between your uncle and your mother?!" Huo Xuenong's eyes were red. He hadn't expected to be slapped in the face by his own grandson. He couldn't take it, be it in terms of face or psychology.
"I swear on my military rank that before my uncle died, there was absolutely no relationship between him and my mother that was beyond the relationship of relatives and friends."
Huo Shaoheng raised his right hand. "My uncle died 17 years ago, and my mother divorced my father. She's a single woman now. She has the right to pursue her own happiness. I won't stop my mother from remarrying, and you shouldn't use the term 'sister-in-law' to describe the relationship between my mother and uncle. They are no longer uncle and sister-in-law. "
Huo Xuenong spat. "Shaoheng, who are you trying to fool? They have nothing to do with each other now, but back then … "
"Back then? Do you have any evidence of what happened back then? "
"Isn't this will the evidence?!"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help muttering, "… This can be used as evidence? If Mrs. Song had another son, he would still be Uncle Huo's nephew, and the trust fund would have to be divided again. Grandfather Huo, don't be stubborn. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Uncle Huo distributed his trust fund like this purely because it's the property left behind by old Madam Xie and belongs to the Huo family. "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the dazed Luo Jialan. "And Luo Jialan isn't a daughter of the Huo family at all, so she naturally shouldn't enjoy the inheritance left behind by old Madam Xie. Uncle Huo left half of his savings to Luo Xinxue and Luo Jialan. That's already a considerable amount of wealth. It's enough for the mother and daughter to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. He's done his best. "
"I'm afraid you also thought that Luo Jialan isn't Uncle Huo's biological daughter, so you didn't say anything and let her inherit Uncle Huo's trust fund, right?" Gu Nianzhi's voice became lower and lower. "… You just thought that in her hands, it's like she's holding it for you. You can take the trust fund back from her at any time …"
Gu Nianzhi's words hit the nail on the head of Huo Xuenong's most secretive and unspeakable thoughts. Even he sometimes didn't dare to face these thoughts, but Gu Nianzhi had clearly revealed them.
Huo Xuenong was about to scold Gu Nianzhi, but Huo Shaoheng had already stood in front of Gu Nianzhi and said to Huo Xuenong, "Nianzhi's thoughts are my thoughts. I just want to ask you, in the end, in your heart, is Eldest Uncle such a person who would disregard his honor and brotherhood for a woman? "
Huo Xuenong was flustered by Huo Shaoheng's words. He couldn't care less and sneered, "Okay, your uncle is right. I was wrong. Then as you said, this is purely the property left to the Huo family. That Wenjie also has half!"
He straightened his neck and looked at Huo Shaoheng, then glanced at Xie Shenxing provocatively. It could be said that he was very bold.
Xie Shenxing put his hands behind his back and coldly watched how Huo Shaoheng was going to deal with this matter.
Huo Shaoheng's expression didn't change as he said calmly, "No, he doesn't have the right."
"What do you mean?" Huo Xuenong's expression changed. "Your uncle's will is written in black and white here. Isn't Wenjie his nephew? We can go for a DNA test! According to the new marriage law, children born out of wedlock also have the right to inherit. "
Back then, Zhang Feng had told him that he had a son named Zhang Baochen, and that Zhang Baochen was already married and had a son and a daughter. Huo Xuenong had sent someone to secretly test their DNA and confirmed that Zhang Baochen was his son. Zhang Wenjie and Zhang Wenna were Zhang Baochen's biological children, which meant that they were his grandchildren.
Huo Shaoheng stared at Huo Xuenong, and his eyes dimmed. He said, "… May I ask grandfather, when did uncle's will take effect?"
"… 17 years ago, when he sacrificed himself." Huo Xuenong's voice lowered, and he choked with sobs. "He was my proudest son!"
Huo Shaoheng ignored Huo Xuenong's show of weakness and asked, "When did the new marriage law take effect?"
Huo Xuenong: "…"
He didn't remember when the new marriage law took effect at all. He only remembered that Zhang Feng had mentioned to him a few times that after the new marriage law took effect, it didn't matter whether they got married or not, and it wouldn't affect Baochen's inheritance rights …
But even if he didn't remember, he knew that it had happened in recent years, not 17 years ago.
"To be precise, the new marriage law took effect seven years ago. May I ask everyone who knows the law, does the law that took effect seven years ago have jurisdiction over a will from 17 years ago? "As Huo Shaoheng spoke, his gaze swept around the ward, but he didn't look at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng was doing it for her own good, but she didn't mind arguing with someone like Huo Xuenong.
"Huo Shao, that's a good question. The basic principle of the law is the principle of 'non-retroactivity'. In other words, the law only governs actions after it takes effect. Actions before it takes effect are governed by the previous law. "Gu Nianzhi explained to him with a smile.
"That's right." Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly. "17 years before my uncle's will took effect, the law at that time stipulated that children born out of wedlock had no right to inheritance. Therefore, the Zhang family had nothing to do with us. The nephew in my uncle's will only referred to the legitimate children of my father and mother. If my mother hadn't been seriously injured and lost her mind, perhaps I would have had a few younger siblings in these 17 years. But unfortunately, my father and mother didn't give birth to a second 'nephew' in the end. In other words, I'm the only nephew who fits my uncle's will. "
Because his parents had divorced, it was impossible for a second nephew to be born unless his parents remarried.
Huo Xuenong's face turned red and he said, "Shaoheng, don't go too far, okay? Even so, you're already so rich. Do you still care about this little bit of money?! Grandfather has never begged you in his life, but this time, I'm begging you to give half of the inheritance rights to Wenjie. He's also your cousin! "
Huo Shaoheng's gaze swept across the hopeful faces of the Zhang family, and finally landed on Huo Xuenong's face, who was begging him. He enunciated each word clearly, "I can't do it. If I agree to it, my grandmother's spirit won't be able to rest in peace in heaven. "
Because of the existence of the Zhang family, his grandmother died with a grudge.
He still wanted to use his grandmother's inheritance to raise Zhang Feng's grandson?
Haha, it was already thanks to the army that he didn't kill them, because he wouldn't do such illegal things.
But don't even think about getting a single cent from him.
Huo Shaoheng continued, "I won't take this inheritance either. I will set up the 'Guanyuan Fund' in Ms. Song's Institute of High Energy Physics in my uncle's name to fund the scientific research of the Institute of High Energy Physics. "
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Huo Xuenong couldn't hold on any longer.
His heart was pounding rapidly. He clutched his chest and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't breathe fresh air no matter how hard he tried. He was like a fish out of water, a bird without oxygen, and even his eyeballs were bulging out.
The equipment in the ward was ringing loudly, and the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor outside the ward.
A group of doctors in white coats rushed in. Seeing that there were so many people in the ward, they immediately waved their hands. "Get out, get out! The patient is in critical condition! Why are there so many of you crowded here?! Get out, all of you! "
