Gu Nianzhi felt slightly uncomfortable.
He Zhichu heard her surprise and said disapprovingly, "There should be. Otherwise, why would Ye Xuan make that trip?"
If it had been more than a month ago, Gu Nianzhi would have been overjoyed if she had known about this will.
But now, she was very depressed.
Because this will wasn't that important anymore.
After those two lawsuits, she basically knew the Gu family's assets like the back of her hand.
Gu Nianzhi had actually already received all of the Gu family's assets, and with Gu Xiangwen's holographic portrait's will message on the submarine, her acceptance was in accordance with all legal procedures.
To her, Gu Xiangwen's will was just another memento left by her father.
Of course, He Zhichu didn't know that Gu Xiangwen had left behind this holographic portrait will. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have cared about it.
Because according to the law, the only valid will was the last will made by the person involved when he was sane.
The will in the hands of Lawyer Vanderbilt had obviously been replaced by Gu Xiangwen's holographic portrait will.
Legally speaking, the will in the hands of Lawyer Vanderbilt was already invalid.
However, Gu Nianzhi wanted to know how her father dealt with the distribution of his own assets before anything happened.
She was depressed for a while and asked, "… Did Professor He see the will?"
He Zhichu shook his head and said concisely, "The other party just contacted me, but he'll be here soon. He wants to see you. "
"See me?" Gu Nianzhi pushed open the door of the official residence and lowered her head to change her shoes at the entrance. She said, "Did he confirm my identity?"
He Zhichu paused and held his phone. "… Yes, he asked me. I said you were here, so he said he wanted to see you and announce the will at the same time."
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. "Didn't he mention Gu Yanran?"
After all, Gu Yanran had been the heir to the Gu family's estate for the past seven years.
When Gu Xiangwen made the will, it should have been before his accident. At that time, everything had yet to happen. What were his intentions?
He Zhichu scoffed. "Her? She's so shameless. She can fool other people, but can she fool Gu Xiangwen? "
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched. "Professor He, can you not talk about my father like that?"
He Zhichu was speechless. After a while, he said, "I was wrong. I'm sorry. When the executor arrives, we'll arrange a time to meet. "
After that, he hung up the phone and sat alone on the single sofa in the living room of the Xishan Villa. He supported his head with his hand and looked expressionlessly at the lush grass and trees outside the French window.
…
After Gu Nianzhi answered the call, she brought Little Corgi into the house.
Little Corgi squatted down at the entrance and waited for Gu Nianzhi to bring it a wet tissue to wipe its feet.
As a clean dog, it has very good hygiene habits.
Gu Nianzhi returned to the bedroom to take a shower after "serving" the young master.
After coming back from his morning jog, he took a shower and felt refreshed. All the depression he felt just now had been swept away.
Sitting in the dining room downstairs, Gu Nianzhi told Huo Shaoheng about He Zhichu's call just now when they were having breakfast.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at her and said slowly, "… He Zhichu released you from the blacklist?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She rolled her eyes at him resentfully. "Major General Huo, you still remember?"
"Can I say that I'm a little disappointed?" Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly and got back to business. "Is it that Vanderbilt lawyer from the United States? How long has it been, and you've only found your father-in-law's will now? Americans are so inefficient. "
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head and ate the porridge. "It's indeed a little slow."
It was so slow that she thought Ye Xuan had made a mistake and that Vanderbilt didn't have her father's will.
It turned out that Ye Xuan was right.
After breakfast, Gu Nianzhi called Ye Xuan and told him about it over the phone.
Ye Xuan had been under the protection of the special operations forces for the past few days, but after the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife were found, their protection was withdrawn.
Because Ye Xuan was no longer a key figure, there was no need for the people behind the scenes to continue to oppose Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan didn't leave the Huaxia Empire. He continued to run his computer company in the imperial capital and lived a very peaceful life.
He chatted with Gu Nianzhi over the phone. "I went to the National Martyrs' Cemetery to see Mr. Gu again. He's doing very well there."
Gu Nianzhi's voice softened. "Thank you, Ye Xuan."
Other than her, Ye Xuan should be the other person who truly cared about Gu Xiangwen.
It wasn't because of Gu Xiangwen's achievements and merits, but because of his own kindness and generosity.
Ye Xuan's heart was heavy when he thought of Gu Xiangwen. He said, "A person like Mr. Gu deserves such treatment and status."
So what?
He was still dead. These treatment and status were only to make the living feel at ease.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I know. I hope they can live the life they want there."
..
The executor from the United States came very quickly this time.
He arrived in the imperial capital the next day, and He Zhichu personally went to the airport to pick him up.
This executor was also a lawyer. He was fair and chubby, and looked very popular. He was even more low-key than Vanderbilt's lawyer.
Because Vanderbilt's immediate family had all been killed, his family property could only be inherited by other relatives according to the law, so it took a lot of effort to deal with his estate.
The executor had been busy until recently, and only had the time to deal with Vanderbilt's professional legacy.
This part of the business was not Vanderbilt's estate, but the rights and interests of his clients.
The will that Gu Xiangwen made with Vanderbilt was transferred to the executor with his death, and the executor handed it to his only legal heir, Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi came to his office under He Zhichu's arrangements and met the chubby executor.
"I'm William, and you're Cereus?" The executor smiled warmly and reached out to shake her hand.
Gu Nianzhi's hand parted as soon as it touched his. She nodded politely. "Hello, I'm Cereus. My Chinese name is Gu Nianzhi."
William looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully and said, "Before announcing the will, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I still need to verify your immediate family status."
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "What do you need me to do?"
William took out the official form. "There are several options to verify DNA here. Which one would you like to choose?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly glanced at it.
There were three options: blood sample, hair, and body fluids.
Before Gu Nianzhi could speak, He Zhichu had already pulled out a strand of her hair and handed it to William. "Hair."
William took out a small transparent plastic bag with a smile and placed Gu Nianzhi's hair in it. "I'll announce Mr. Gu's will after I send it to the designated verification agency for verification."
He was quite cautious.
Although Chen Lie had already verified the paternity relationship between Gu Nianzhi's DNA and Gu Xiangwen's body, William had to personally find a third party to verify the DNA himself according to the procedures. He couldn't get the results from others.
Although DNA was the most direct way to verify, a DNA verification done by someone else could be fake.
He couldn't just look at the DNA verification report issued by someone else. He had to personally find a third party he trusted to re-test it.
A normal will wasn't that troublesome, but Gu Xiangwen's estate was too large. These procedures were written in the will.
Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu were both familiar with American law, so they didn't have any objections. They just had to do as William said.
The third-party verification agency William found was a fertility clinic opened by an American in the imperial capital of Huaxia.
They used PCR verification, which was very fast. The results were out in less than two hours.
During this time, he was chatting happily with Gu Nianzhi and He Zhichu.
William laughed when he received the call from the clinic. "That's great! You guys are the best! "
He put down the phone and opened his briefcase. He took out a document and placed 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 Mr. Gu's hands, and one is in the hands of the notary. "
"I have two copies here. One is in Mr. Vanderbilt's hands, and the other is in the hands of the notary. They are exactly the same."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and looked at the two wills.
She said, "I don't know where my father's will is."
"It doesn't matter." William smiled gently. "These two wills have enough legitimacy."
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. "Thank you. Please read me the contents of the will."
William glanced at He Zhichu and said, "Mr. He, may I ask who you are to Cereus?"
Irrelevant people shouldn't be here when the will was read.
He Zhichu was about to get up and go out, but Gu Nianzhi reached out and held him down. She said to William, "He's my lawyer."
Since he was Gu Nianzhi's lawyer, he was no longer an irrelevant person.
He Zhichu's heart warmed, and he sat back down silently.
His shimmering almond-shaped eyes stared unblinkingly at the will in William's hand.
William nodded and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. "Miss Gu, I will now read the will left by your father, Mr. Gu Xiangwen."
He lowered his head and began to read word by word.
"I, Gu Xiangwen, make this will today in the presence of a lawyer and a notary."
"A list of all my assets has always been with my daughter, Gu Nianzhi."
"All my assets will be inherited by Cereus.
The Foundation will inherit. "
"My daughter, Gu Nianzhi, is Cereus.
The executor and beneficiary of the Foundation. "
Gu Nianzhi frowned.
This will was concise and to the point.
It didn't sound like a traditional will, but more like a clue, an arrow pointing to the answer to the mystery.
From the will, Gu Xiangwen's assets weren't left to her directly, but to a charity fund named after her.
If there was only this will, it meant that all of Gu Xiangwen's assets had been transferred to the charity fund, and not to Gu Nianzhi's name.
She could draw income from the charity fund and manage its operations, but she wasn't the owner of the assets.
This was fundamentally different from the holographic will that Gu Xiangwen had left in the submarine seven years ago.
Why did he do that?
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and asked, "May I ask when my father made this will?"
William looked at the inscription on the will and said a time.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned. When Gu Xiangwen made this will, she was only one year old, so the will was made 18 years ago.
Judging from the time, Gu Xiangwen's holographic will in the submarine had already made the will from 18 years ago invalid.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't worried about her inheritance, but she was very curious about Cereus.
Foundation。
"May I ask who is running this charity fund?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.
William looked at the document and said, "This charity fund was founded by Mr. Gu Xiangwen 18 years ago. At that time, he gave Mr. Vanderbilt an initial fee that could last for 18 years. This fund had 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 charity fund with hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth.
Now (You're Rich). "
