"You think I don't have money?" Huo Shaoheng was both angry and amused. He bent his index finger and tapped Gu Nianzhi on the forehead. "Grandmother left most of her inheritance to me. Even if I returned President Lu's portion to him, it wouldn't even be one-tenth of what I inherited."
Gu Nianzhi was extremely surprised. "… Grandmother was so good to you …"
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a while before saying, "Grandmother brought me up from a young age, so our relationship was different. But if she hadn't found out about Grandfather and Head Nurse Zhang, she wouldn't have done this. "
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "I also said that if there was no will, your grandfather, father, and President Lu would be the first in line of succession. The second in line of succession would be your grandmother's siblings, grandparents, and maternal grandparents. "
"Although President Lu wasn't around at the time, he still had his wife, Luo Xinxue, and daughter, Huo Jialan."
"So even if there was a will, it wouldn't make sense to leave 90% of the property to a grandson. To be honest, if your grandfather and father wanted to sue, they could even go to court to invalidate the will. "
Huo Shaoheng raised an eyebrow. "Can it be invalidated in black and white?"
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi shrugged. "If the time of the will change was close to the time of your grandmother's death, then it would be even more plausible. For example, they could claim that your grandmother was delirious on her deathbed and was bewitched to change the will, so the will couldn't be established. It's all possible. "
"Your grandmother has passed away anyway. It's not completely impossible for them to succeed if they want to do it."
"But now that you've taken the initiative to give a portion of the inheritance to President Lu, and there are special reasons, even if they go to court to fight, I'll be there. Don't worry." Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly and patted Huo Shaoheng on the shoulder.
Huo Shaoheng held her mischievous hand and smiled faintly as he lowered his eyes. "… Yes, what am I worried about? Even if the will is invalidated and I have no money, don't I still have you to earn money to support me? I'm counting on you. "
He said it so seriously that Gu Nianzhi almost believed him.
The two of them walked into the villa, and Gu Nianzhi asked casually, "But I didn't expect President Lu to accept your gift."
Huo Shaoheng laughed, "President Lu didn't want it at first. He said he didn't lack money because grandmother still left some things for Luo Xinxue and Luo Jialan. Now, these things belong to him. Since this estate was left to me by my grandmother, it's mine. "
"But I said that at the time of my grandmother's death, she wanted to find his bones and bury him in France with her. He didn't object anymore. "
These were Xie Ziyan's last words in her life. They made Lu Yuan burst into tears. In the end, he still accepted Huo Shaoheng's gift.
It was Gu Nianzhi's first time at Lu Yuan's West Mountain villa.
The villa was a European-style building complex. It was three stories high, and there was a basement facing the backyard lawn, so it had a total of four stories.
The night was very dark, and they could only see the shape of the small building by the LED lights on the surrounding white walls.
Gu Nianzhi watched for a while and suddenly said, "… Young Master He also has a villa nearby."
"…"
He opened the door nonchalantly and led Gu Nianzhi inside. "… When are you going to sell that house? Are you afraid of not having a place to stay? "
"Why should I sell it?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng strangely. "You know better than me how difficult it is to buy a house here."
"What's the point of keeping it if you don't sell it? Do you still want He Zhichu to come over? "Huo Shaoheng looked at Gu Nianzhi intently and closed the door without batting an eyelid.
There was no more energy in that world, so it was impossible for He Zhichu to come over on his own.
However …
Gu Nianzhi remembered the two strands of He Zhichu's hair she had taken when she left. She planned to take them out after Song Jinning's honeymoon and let her mark them …
Of course, there was no need to tell Huo Shaoheng about this. She could arrange it herself.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and smiled. "No, I just thought that place isn't far from here, so I'll let my dad live there. Doesn't he like President Lu's cooking? But President Lu is married, so it's not realistic for him to live with the couple, so can we arrange it this way? "
"This way, they can take care of each other, but it's not as awkward as living in the same house."
Huo Shaoheng felt that it made sense and nodded. "That's not bad. However, Uncle Lu might want to live with us. Would you find it inconvenient? "
"Of course not!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "I couldn't ask for more, but my dad might not be able to stand the atmosphere and environment of the special operations forces, so I have to prepare a few more residences for him."
Lu Jin actually didn't lack money, but he couldn't be bothered to take care of his finances.
For him, having a place to sleep and eat, and then having a laboratory was enough.
"Okay, then we'll go and transfer the ownership tomorrow. You can give the house to Uncle Lu." Huo Shaoheng made a prompt decision and finally let Gu Nianzhi get rid of He Zhichu's villa.
Gu Nianzhi didn't realize it and was still feeling happy.
..
It was also Christmas Eve. In this world, Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng, Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Song Jinning sat at the long dining table in the dining room. Each of them had a sumptuous meal in front of them, and they ate happily.
In the West Mountain Villa, which was almost in the same place in the other world, a Christmas party was also being held. They were waiting for the bell to ring after 12 o 'clock, and everyone was singing hymns together.
Xie Qingying was now He Zhichu's fiancée, and she was the hostess of tonight's dinner party.
She wore a dark purple fishtail dress that wrapped around her curvy body. She looked dignified and seductive.
She held a sparkling crystal glass in her hand. It was filled with red wine from the Bordeaux Chateau in France. She smiled at the guests who came and went.
"Miss Xie, when are you getting married to Young Master He? Don't forget to give us an invitation then! "This was a friend of Xie Qingying's, so he spoke politely and appropriately.
"That's right, Miss Xie. Young Master He has been living in seclusion recently. Why don't you get married and have children at home?" This was a family member who had a conflict of interest with He Zhichu, so of course his words were unpleasant.
Xie Qingying was unhappy. No matter how useless Young Master He was, he was still better than a good-for-nothing like you.
Besides, she loved He Zhichu, not because of his family background.
The Xie family was no worse than the He family. Even if He Zhichu came from an ordinary family, she would not hesitate to be with him as long as he loved her.
And if He Zhichu came from an ordinary family, her pursuit would not have been so tortuous …
Xie Qingying pursed her lips and smiled. She swirled the red wine glass in her hand and said softly, "You're so concerned about Young Master He. Are you worried that something might happen to your family?"
The man's expression changed. He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't think that you're amazing just because you're engaged to Young Master He. You're not married yet! Besides, you can still get a divorce if you're married. Don't think too highly of yourself! "
Xie Qingying only replied with a "hehe".
However, she was also uneasy.
He Zhichu had not been living in seclusion recently, but he had been elusive. She, his fiancée, had not seen him many times these days.
Tonight's Christmas party was actually held at the last minute. It had only been prepared for less than five days.
It would take at least a month for people of their class to prepare the guest list and send out the invitations.
Xie Qingying had a vague feeling that He Zhichu was doing something, but she could not find out what he was doing.
He had said that he would attend the Christmas dinner tonight, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Worried about He Zhichu, Xie Qingying was a little absent-minded. Her best friend walked over and asked softly, "How are you and Young Master He? Has he had some problems with his work recently? "
There was more than a problem.
Almost all the upper echelons of the imperial capital knew that ever since He Chengjian's sudden death and the fact that his death had been deliberately revealed, his prestige had been greatly affected. The people who wanted to replace him were colluding everywhere to pull He Zhichu down and not allow him to be the heir.
Xie Qingying was very worried about He Zhichu. She had said several times that she would go abroad with him.
But how could He Zhichu give up the foundation that his grandfather and father had built?
At that moment, he was dressed in military uniform and personally led the guards who were loyal to him. He held the arrest warrant signed by the court and went to arrest the important families of the imperial capital's military who had colluded with each other and attempted to launch a coup.
He sat in the bulletproof car. His expression was gloomy and cold. His sparkling almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and the pink at the corners of his eyes was like a smear of blood that had just dried up. It added a hint of killing intent to this cheerful Christmas night.
He Zhichu raised his white-gloved hand and said calmly, "Do it."
