Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed. If this was considered a fortune, she would have been rich long ago. Why would she have waited for this will?
The daylilies were already cold …
In fact, Gu Xiangwen's last words on the submarine were the real and effective will.
In that will, Gu Xiangwen gave all his assets directly to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi recalled what Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar had said. She felt sad, touched, and a faint sense of pride.
She looked at the simple will that William had handed over, and her gaze froze on the two lines.
"All my assets are to be inherited by Cereus
Foundation inheritance. "
"My daughter Gu Nianzhi is Cereus
Executor and beneficiary of the Foundation. "
She suddenly remembered Charity's nature.
The nature of the Foundation.
This independent way of operating was the same as the C.
Corp. It was an independent legal person. In other words, Gu Xiangwen's assets were actually given to this charity fund, not to her.
She thought about Gu Xiangwen's last words on the submarine. There were also two sentences.
"All the assets under my wife's and my name will be inherited by our biological daughter, Gu Nianzhi."
"If she is no longer in this world, all our assets will be donated to our motherland, the Huaxia Empire."
Compared to the will above, there was a fundamental difference, but there was also a similarity.
Just this similarity made Gu Nianzhi's scalp tingle.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. She suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
She raised her head and continued to smile dignifiedly at William. "Thank you for coming all the way here to help me solve this problem."
William was very enthusiastic and waved his arms. "Do you need a manager for your charity fund? I can be your manager, if you don't mind. "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and said, "No need. I'm a lawyer myself. I know how to run a charity fund. Besides, I don't want to inject money into this charity fund at the moment. "
"Huh? That won't do. According to the will, you have to … "William was flabbergasted and pointed his fingers in objection.
Gu Nianzhi stopped smiling and said lightly, "I'm sorry, my father left another will seven years ago, so the will in your hand is actually invalid."
"What?! Mr. Gu left another will?! "William's grayish-blue eyes were popping out." What's going on?! Does Mr. Vanderbilt know? "
Gu Nianzhi had no obligation to answer his question. She tilted her head and extended her hand to him. "Anyway, thank you very much for coming. Since you're already here, why don't you stay for a few days? I'll be the host. I'll cover your expenses. "
She was now a moderately wealthy woman. Even without Gu Xiangwen's assets, she still had a considerable amount of assets.
William rubbed his hands and said helplessly, "Do you really have another will? If it's convenient, can I have a look? "
Of course, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't agree.
She calmly said, "No matter what, I am my father's only heir. It's just that the method of inheritance is different. The last will is the only valid one, so you don't have to worry about it. "
William asked again and again, but Gu Nianzhi didn't answer.
He had no choice. He was only Mr. Vanderbilt's executor, not Gu Xiangwen's executor.
After asking a few more times, he tactfully stopped talking.
In any case, Gu Xiangwen's last will could only be challenged in court by a new heir. Only then could he challenge Gu Nianzhi and ask her to announce it.
Otherwise, if she said she wouldn't take it out, no one would have the right to force her to take it out.
..
After William left, He Zhichu sat on the sofa and looked at her without moving. He said, "Gu Xiangwen has another will? Did you discover it when you found his body? "
More or less.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. Her eyes darted around, and she didn't dare look at He Zhichu. She muttered, "… Professor He, I didn't mean to hide it from you …"
He Zhichu reached out a hand to stop her from continuing. His face was livid. "That's enough. You don't have to explain to me."
He didn't want to know anything about Mr. Gu Xiangwen.
Gu Nianzhi looked over and opened her mouth. In the end, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. She said, "I really didn't mean to hide it from you. It's because other things are involved, so …"
"I know. You really don't have to tell me." He Zhichu rubbed his temples with a headache. His expression was as cold as ever. His eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes were densely packed like a small fan, blocking Gu Nianzhi's line of sight.
She couldn't see He Zhichu's eyes clearly, nor could she understand his thoughts.
The two of them fell silent for a moment.
After a while, He Zhichu calmed down and said aloofly, "Now that these things have been resolved, when will Huo Shaoheng hold your wedding with you?"
The topic had changed so quickly …
Gu Nianzhi complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to go against He Zhichu anymore. She quickly said, "We had planned to hold the wedding next year. My parents have just been buried, and it's only been a month. We might as well wait until the first anniversary next year. "
He Zhichu frowned. "Actually, they passed away seven years ago, right? Why are you doing this? Do you really have to observe mourning for a year? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her hand in embarrassment. "But we only found them a month ago, so to me, they only passed away a month ago …"
"Do you miss your parents that much?" He Zhichu looked at her quietly for a while and suddenly asked.
Gu Nianzhi nodded without hesitation. "Of course, Professor He. Don't you miss your parents?"
He Zhichu was stunned by her question. After another long silence, he nodded and said, "Of course I miss them too …"
However, he wanted to be with Gu Nianzhi even more. He could only feel at ease when he was where she was.
Gu Nianzhi grabbed her small handbag and carefully persuaded him, "Professor He, you see, you miss your parents. You can visit them anytime. So you have to cherish them! "
He Zhichu took his glass of water and took a sip. He looked away uncomfortably. "My mother passed away a long time ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry …" Gu Nianzhi blushed. "I didn't mean to …"
He Zhichu had never mentioned his mother.
"It's okay." He Zhichu waved his hand and smiled bitterly. "You … don't remember them. Actually, you lived in my house when you were young. You know my parents. "
Gu Nianzhi's ears pricked up almost immediately and she leaned forward. "I know Professor He's parents?! How come I don't remember them at all?! "
"… Can you remember anything from before you were 12?" He Zhichu's handsome face was cold as he said coldly, "You forgot them yourself, and now you're blaming them for not reminding you?"
Gu Nianzhi shrank her neck and muttered, "I didn't lose my memory on purpose …"
It was like there was a black hole in her brain. The memories from before she was 12 had been thrown into the black hole, and she would probably never be able to find them again in this lifetime.
He Zhichu also knew he didn't blame her, but he still couldn't calm down.
However, He Zhichu's cold expression could no longer scare Gu Nianzhi.
She was alone for a while, then her thoughts returned to the will Gu Xiangwen had made 18 years ago.
"Professor He, my father's will from 18 years ago said that the list of his assets has always been with me. Where do you think it would be?" Gu Nianzhi rubbed her hair. "What if I happen to forget it?"
He Zhichu didn't want to talk to her at all. He stood up alone and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of red wine. He leaned against the kitchen counter and began drinking.
Gu Nianzhi pondered alone in the living room.
After thinking about it, she recalled the small backpack she had been carrying when she first came here.
She remembered that there was a blueprint in the backpack, and she had also been carrying a doll. Also, the clothes she had been wearing at the time. Could these be clues?!
Gu Nianzhi regained her confidence and stood up happily. She went around to the kitchen and said to He Zhichu, who was drinking red wine by himself, "Professor He, I'll go back first. I have to look in my small backpack to see if there's anything important."
He Zhichu turned around, already tipsy. "What small backpack?"
"… It's the small backpack I was carrying when Huo Shao rescued me from the car." Gu Nianzhi gestured excitedly. "And the doll I was carrying, and the clothes I was wearing at the time. I have to check all of them carefully."
He Zhichu snorted and turned his high chair back to show Gu Nianzhi his beautiful back. "I advise you not to waste your time. It's definitely not among these things."
"No way? How would I know if I don't look for it? "Gu Nianzhi disagreed." If it's always been by my side, then I can only think of them. "
Just as she was about to open the door to leave, He Zhichu's lazy voice came from behind her. "If it's really among the things you mentioned, do you think Huo Shao and the others haven't checked it? They must have already checked it thoroughly. "
"Your small backpack, doll, and clothes must have been X-rayed inch by inch. Why would they wait until today? If I say it's not there, it's not there. "
That seemed to make sense.
Gu Nianzhi stopped at the door and thought hard about it again. She muttered to herself, "If it's not among these things, then how can you say it has always been by my side?"
He Zhichu held a glass of red wine and put one hand in his trouser pocket as he strolled out of the spacious American-style kitchen. He leaned against a pillar in the living room and stared at Gu Nianzhi's back. He sighed and said, "Where's your logical thinking? Was it eaten by your corgi dog? "
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
He Zhichu walked over and didn't even look at Gu Nianzhi. He said coldly, "Gu Xiangwen made his will 18 years ago. He said it was something that had always been by his daughter's side, so it should have been prepared by him … 18 years ago. It was also something that Little Nianzhi liked very much and had always been by her side. Think about it, what could it be? "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and felt something flash in her mind. It was as fast as lightning.
"You still haven't remembered? It must be … "
Gu Nianzhi suddenly turned around. Her big bright eyes were as bright as stars. "… pink diamond crown?! Is it a pink diamond crown?! "
