Gu Nianzhi wrote in an email to the court, "… Because the property case requires a lot of time to verify, I do not wish for the court to spend too much time on the adoption documents. I suggest that it be done at the same time as the property review."
After she sent this email, it was taken seriously by the court that accepted her case.
In fact, the court did not want to waste too much time on the adoption paperwork.
They were not fools. According to the law, whether it was adopted or not, as long as there was no additional will, adopted daughters and biological daughters had the same inheritance rights.
Therefore, they did not understand why Gu Yanran would want to make an issue out of the adoption documents.
Even if she couldn't produce the adoption papers, she still had Barbados government documents to prove that Gu Nianzhi was a daughter of the Gu family. Gu Nianzhi had no idea what was wrong with Gu Yanran.
After Gu Nianzhi's email was sent, Jin Wanyi's request to postpone the trial was finally delivered to the court.
When the court saw this, they wanted to delay the trial for three months just to find an adoption document?!
You seem to be in contempt of court …
Therefore, the court accepting the case accepted Gu Nianzhi's suggestion and rejected Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran's request to delay the trial.
On one hand, he set a date for the next court hearing, which was next Wednesday. On the other hand, he made Gu Yanran submit the inventory of the Gu assets for verification. At the same time, he gave Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran three months to continue searching for the adoption documents.
When Jin Wanyi received the court's decision, she was so angry that she slammed the table in her office, knocking over a cup of coffee. The dark brown coffee flowed all over the table and almost dirtied the carpet.
"Yanran, the court rejected the request for a three-month extension. The next hearing will be next Wednesday. Have you sorted out the inventory of your assets?" Jin Wanyi still had to call Gu Yanran after throwing a tantrum.
Gu Yanran was very unhappy when she heard that. She couldn't even get a three-month extension. This Jin Wanyi was really useless …
Fortunately, she still called that person and got some advice from her.
Otherwise, she would definitely lose just by relying on Jin Wanyi.
Gu Yanran turned on her computer and looked at the inventory of the Gus' assets that she had reorganized. She sent it to Jin Wanyi. "Lawyer Jin, this is the inventory of the Gus' assets. You can submit it to the court after you've seen it."
Jin Wanyi glanced through it quickly and secretly gasped at the Gu family's enormous wealth.
This level of wealth was not something the working class could ever hope to possess.
Even the working king of the working class couldn't earn so much money.
But then again, the Gus were so rich, but Gu Yanran's style always exuded a sense of pettiness.
In the past, when he wasn't familiar with her, he had even been intimidated by her arrogance.
Now that they were familiar with each other, Jin Wanyi shook her head. She really didn't have a good impression of Gu Yanran.
She entered the information into the computer and said to Gu Yanran, "Yanran, make another list and sign it yourself. I'll send the signed documents to the court."
"I still have to sign it?" Gu Yanran was obviously resistant. "Can't I just hand it over?"
"Of course not, the court will treat it as an invalid document." Jin Wanyi patiently explained to Gu Yanran, "You have to submit the list tomorrow. Hurry up."
Gu Yanran curled up on the large sofa in the living room of her villa and looked at the bleak autumn scenery outside the French windows. She took another sip of red wine and printed another copy of the list while she was tipsy. She signed it and sent it to Jin Wanyi.
As soon as Jin Wanyi received the signed list, she quickly sent it to the court.
When the court received the list, they quickly ordered people to send letters to the banks, investment funds, and patent registration agencies to check the balance and value of Gu Xiangwen's account.
…
Ye Xuan arrived in Little Rock Canyon, Utah, but he didn't immediately visit the famous Mr. Vanderbilt.
Little Rock Canyon was a very small city with a population of only four to five thousand people. It wasn't even as large as a village in the Hua Xia Empire.
Almost everyone in the city knew each other.
Ye Xuan also didn't expect the person handling Gu Xiangwen's legal affairs and helping him write his will to be such a normal-looking, kind, and unknown lawyer who was like Santa Claus.
Mr. Vanderbilt was almost 80 years old this year, but he was hale and hearty. He had white hair and a youthful complexion. Every day, he took his two grandchildren out for walks with his dog.
"Hello, Mr. Vanderbilt."
"Are you going for a walk or walking your dog?"
Along the way, people kept greeting the kind old man.
The old man chuckled and sometimes stopped to talk to people. Other times, he bent down to pick up the dirt his dog had pooped out from the lawn.
It was such an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary who actually had a big client like Gu Xiangwen.
At first, Ye Xuan thought it was unbelievable, but after observing the old man for a few days, he became more familiar with him and more certain that he was the lawyer handling Gu Xiangwen's legal affairs.
That was because the feeling he gave off was very similar to the feeling Gu Xiangwen gave him. They were both gentle, tolerant, kind, and good-tempered.
Ye Xuan just didn't know if they felt more alike after interacting with each other.
With that thought in mind, Ye Xuan finally walked out from behind the big tree and walked in the direction of the old man.
Ye Xuan still remembered that this was a typical autumn dusk in the northern part of the United States. The setting sun stretched out the shadows of everything.
Ye Xuan walked towards the setting sun and said to the old man, "Hello."
Vanderbilt narrowed his eyes and looked at him. He smiled kindly and said, "Kid, you're finally here."
"You noticed me early on?" Ye Xuan was a bit surprised.
"Yes, you're too obvious. Although you change into different clothes and shoes every day, your aura hasn't changed at all. Whether you're wearing a plumber's uniform or a deliveryman's uniform, your aura is the same. If you really want to pretend to be someone, it's best to thoroughly study that person before pretending. "The old man smiled and looked at Ye Xuan with a little delight at his own judgment.
Most old people at this age had dementia. They wouldn't even be able to recognize their partner of decades, let alone a stranger who had observed them for a few days.
However, this old man clearly had a clear line of thought and spoke methodically and logically.
Ye Xuan now completely believed that this person was Gu Xiangwen's legal advisor.
"Mr. Vanderbilt, please forgive me for disturbing you." Ye Xuan bowed politely. "My name is Ye Xuan. Are you familiar with the name Kevin Ku? "
The old man was smiling very peacefully, but when he heard the name Kevin Ku, the smile on his face froze for a moment. However, it quickly returned to normal and he shook his head. "No, you've got the wrong person."
"Mr. Vanderbilt, Uncle Gu has been in a vegetative state for seven years. Are you really going to ignore your biggest client?!" Ye Xuan clenched his fists and almost grabbed the old man's shoulder and shook him desperately to wake him up.
