Fang Boyan was also seriously injured and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The hospital sent the best doctors, used the most expensive drugs, and used the most advanced treatment equipment. Even so, his fragile life could not be saved. After half an hour of emergency treatment, the doctor in charge had no choice but to sentence him to death.
When Fang Boyan was dying, his mind was particularly clear. He did not know why, but he thought of his adopted daughter, Fang Zhitong. Therefore, he dictated a will and asked the nurse to write it on his behalf. He stated that he would leave all his family assets to his daughter, Fang Zhitong, and finally put his fingerprint on it. Not long after the will was written, he passed away. The time of his death was around one o 'clock in the morning. When his personal lawyer, the short-haired woman in the living room, arrived at the hospital, she could only see him in the morgue.
The lawyer was very efficient. After getting the will with Fang Boyan's fingerprint, she made some preparations and came to Qingyang from Beijing at noon. She wanted to talk to Fang Zhitong face to face. Fang Boyan's eldest disciple was in the car. He was also an associate professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He volunteered to help Fang Zhitong, his junior, inherit all his master's assets and help her with the funeral. This person was the middle-aged man in the living room with the temperament of a professor.
After the two drove to Qingyang, it took them half a day to find Fang Shuan's house. When they arrived, they found that Fang Zhitong was still at work. However, they were not in a hurry. They explained the situation to her adoptive parents, Fang Shuan and his wife. Fang Shuan heard that his elder brother had passed away. Although he was not close to him, he was still his brother. Naturally, he was sad. When he heard that his elder brother had left all his assets to his daughter, Fang Zhitong, he was also somewhat relieved.
This was what happened before Fang Zhitong and Li Rui arrived home. Fang Shuan called Fang Zhitong to the bedroom to talk. Naturally, he wanted to tell her everything. How could Fang Zhitong withstand such a huge psychological blow? Well, first, she was not the child of Fang Shuan and his wife, but the biological daughter of the person who originally called him uncle. Then, she suddenly heard that her biological father had died. Of course, her biological mother and brother had also died in a car accident. To put it bluntly, all her relatives had passed away. These two pieces of news were like Mount Tai pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe. It was no wonder that she only knew how to cry in the beginning. If it weren't for Li Rui comforting her for a long time, she wouldn't have been able to recover from her grief.
But then again, Fang Zhitong and Fang Boyan's family of three did not have any feelings for each other. Just the bond of blood and the relationship in name was not enough to make her feel so sad. What she really couldn't accept was, firstly, the huge change in her identity, and secondly, her biological father, Fang Boyan's "flash of love" before his death, making the decision to leave all his assets to her in his will. This bright spot contained a fatherly love that was as heavy as a mountain and as deep as water, which made her deeply moved and uncomfortable. It was just that she didn't realize it herself.
When Li Rui finished listening to her, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. He was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. He was dumbfounded. His heart was filled with shock, sadness, and joy. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He remembered that he had said to Fang Zhitong before entering the alley, "If she becomes a millionaire in the future" and so on. He didn't expect that his nonsensical words would become reality so quickly. Other than saying that fate made fools of people, what else could it be? Thinking again, no wonder when he first met Fang Shuan, he felt that he couldn't give birth to a young beauty like Fang Zhitong, who had a fresh temperament and a beautiful appearance. It turned out that there was a reason behind it.
He sighed in his heart and patted Fang Zhitong's hand, saying, "Xiao Fang, my condolences. Don't think too much about it. Don't think that anyone has wronged you, and don't think that you have wronged anyone. You have already done very well. Of course, from now on, you have to do even better. Shoulder the responsibilities that you should shoulder and do what you should do well. Don't disappoint the ardent expectations of your two fathers. Use your brilliant life to repay their love for you. "
Fang Zhitong sobbed softly, "Shoulder my responsibilities? You … what do you mean? " Li Rui said, "Take care of the funeral for your birth father's family. According to your birth father's will, inherit his family property. After everything is done, don't forget to continue filial piety and support your adoptive parents. In the future, live a better life so that your birth father's soul can be comforted. These are all your responsibilities and you have to do them well." Fang Zhitong slowly shook her head and said, "I … I'm willing to go to Beijing to take care of the funeral for my birth father, birth mother, and … and my younger brother. But I don't want to inherit the family property. It's not mine."
Li Rui comforted her, "It wasn't yours originally, but after your birth father made his will, it became yours. Moreover, he had no other choice but to leave it to you. You can take it as his love for you or as his helpless choice. You can only accept it. You don't have to feel guilty because of this. It's right and proper for children to inherit their parents' property. "
Fang Zhitong sobbed, "But … but this daughter of mine …"
Li Rui guessed her thoughts and said, "I know what you want to say and I understand you. You may feel that as his daughter, you have never been filial to him and yet you accept such a large inheritance. You feel guilty in your heart. Then you can do this. In the future, you can take on your responsibilities as his birth daughter. You can think of him more often. Every time you pay respects to his ancestors, you can pay respects to him. Every Qingming Festival, you can go to his grave to pay respects. In addition, as one of the most famous Chinese artists in the country, his works must be very influential both domestically and abroad. You can help him expand his influence and spread his works around the world. You can even carry forward his artistic style. There are so many things you can do for him. What's the big deal about inheriting his property first? "
What he said was very reasonable and also very humane. After Fang Zhitong heard it, she couldn't say anything. However, the sorrow on her face became heavier and heavier. It seemed that Fang Boyan's death had started to ferment in her heart and was slowly and mercilessly cutting into the softest part of her heart.
A person's sorrow was nothing more than the death of a loved one!
Li Rui said gently, "I've already explained the reason to you. If you're a responsible girl who knows how to be filial, then quickly put away your tears and sadness, and work hard to make yourself strong. Then, walk out of the room, meet that female lawyer, and do what you should do."
Fang Zhitong acted as if she didn't hear it and only lowered her head.
Li Rui gently patted her shoulder. Only then did she wake up as if from a dream. She used her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and face. Her mouth also made an "En" sound as if she agreed.
Li Rui looked at her tenderly and sympathetically. He thought that God was really cruel to send her two tragedies in one go. Not to mention a weak girl like her, even if it was an extremely strong man, he would probably feel terrible for a long time. Sigh, he only hoped that "when a person suffers a great disaster, they are bound to have good fortune later." She would be able to walk out of the shadow of these two events as soon as possible and become stronger and happier in the future.
A few minutes later, Li Rui accompanied Fang Zhitong out of the room. As soon as they walked out, they were immediately stared at by the four people outside.
Li Rui nodded slightly to Fang Shuan and his wife, indicating that he had already comforted Fang Zhitong and that they didn't need to worry about her anymore.
The female lawyer saw Fang Zhitong looking at her and knew that she was mentally prepared. She stood up and said, "Zhitong, if you don't have any problems here, then we will hurry back to Beijing as soon as possible. There are still a lot of things to take care of there. One of the most important things is to take you to the inheritance notarization. There are many things to take care of and it is also a bit troublesome. I hope that it won't take too much time."
The middle-aged man next to her, who was Fang Boyan's eldest disciple, looked at Fang Zhitong with a gentle gaze and said, "Zhitong, don't worry. We will do our best to help you. I hope that you can be stronger. Our teacher's spirit in heaven also hopes to see your strong side."
Fang Zhitong nodded sadly and said, "I've caused you trouble. Thank you."
The two of them were flattered and hurriedly said politely, "This is my duty. Zhitong, you don't have to be polite with me." The other said, "Zhitong, you are treating us as outsiders. Our teacher treated me like a teacher and a father. It is only right for me to help his daughter with her funeral."
Li Rui saw the two's expressions and secretly nodded his head. He thought that Fang Boyan's ability to judge people was not bad. One was loyal to his duty, and the other was loyal. Fang Zhitong was lucky to have the two of them to help her.
Fang Zhitong discussed with the two for a while. The three of them finally decided to rest in Qingyang for the night and rush to Beijing the next morning. After that, the two of them said their goodbyes and went to find a place to eat and stay. They would come back to pick Fang Zhitong up the next morning.
Li Rui and Fang Zhitong's family of three went out to send the two of them off. After seeing the two of them drive the Beijing Land Rover Range Rover away, he also said goodbye to the Fang family of three.
Fang Shuan and his wife didn't let him leave and insisted on dragging him home. They wanted him to stay a little longer.
How could Li Rui agree? Fang Zhitong had such a big incident, which meant that the whole family was in trouble. Moreover, it was a big matter that could hurt their feelings if they weren't careful. Next, they had to do a good job of understanding and communicating with each other. One night might not even be enough for them to communicate. How could an outsider stay and mess things up? Moreover, it involved a funeral. It was even more inappropriate for outsiders to get involved. Thus, he bitterly smiled and pushed away Fang Shuan's hand and said, "I won't stay. I'll come back another day. You guys can go back and comfort Xiao Fang. She is the one who is suffering the most …"
His words were reasonable. Fang Shuan and his wife couldn't insist and could only let him go.
