2. A Strange Inheritance
Mom, you really are... I am truly at a loss for words regarding Mom's behavior
Silly girl, this is just like a pie falling from the sky! Of course, you have to sign it! The smile on my mother's face blossomed.
What happened
No, no, no, this is a bequest from someone else's estate, not a first-order inheritance. You can look at the documents yourselves!" The chubby lawyer took out a document for us to see
However, it can be certain that, in this situation, my mother will not reprimand me for the time being, haha
Mom, I have returned to school!" I hung up the phone, put away the key to the Qingying Pavilion and that letter, and rushed towards the school without looking back
I was stunned; apart from the three glowing characters on the document, I could see nothing else and hear no sound.
My mother and I seized the documents he handed over and began to read intently, as if we had never been so eager for knowledge before
The heavy key, gleaming with a metallic luster, lies in the palm of my hand, as if greeting its new owner
The individual wearing the "black-framed glasses" continued to explain: "The owner of the property stipulates that the house cannot be bought, sold, or rented, and can only be jointly occupied and used by the two heirs. Any violation of this regulation will be regarded as a forfeiture of inheritance rights, and the written document holds legal validity."
This is simply unbelievable! I do not know the old lady who bequeathed me the inheritance at all, nor do I understand why she wants me to inherit jointly with that sharp-tongued man, Yuan Mubin
I had no time to think much and hurried home, taking two steps at a time. Having delayed for so long, how would my mother scold me
The inheritance period is ... ... one hundred years
I quickly picked up the pen and signed my full name on the paper; to be precise, it was my mother holding my hand as she signed my name on the document
Oh no! I have been so busy today that I almost forgot about Chao Yu's matter
Did I hear correctly? Qingying Pavilion? Is it that villa near our school?
Countless question marks appeared simultaneously above my and my mother's heads
Everything has come too quickly, and I find myself in a state of confusion, somewhat at a loss.
Swish swish ... ...
But how could there be such a will? ... I have no connection with Yuan Mubin at all, except for just now on campus, that face so close, those fluttering long eyelashes, the warm scent
OK, the document is effective! This is the key to the Qingying Pavilion, please take good care of it. The person with the 'black-framed glasses' tidied up those documents and handed me a set of keys
I am sorry, but I cannot sign. I ... ... before clarifying the truth of the matter, I cannot sign this document
Too many questions are flooding my mind, and I am confused
The person wearing the "black-framed glasses" pushed up the frame on the bridge of their nose and said slowly, "This matter is very important; it must be announced to her in person"
Wait a moment
It is actually an envelope with a lace pattern, printed with four golden characters: Heir Received
Are you Nai | Meizhi? "Black-rimmed glasses" stood up and extended his right hand towards me, "We are the lawyers of the Cosmic Law Firm"
How is it that I have inherited the estate of a stranger, an old woman? This is quite strange! How could she have bequeathed her estate to me? It seems we do not know each other at all
Wow! What a beautiful envelope!" I took the letter and couldn't help but exclaim.
By the way, there is another letter, which was left by the owner of the inheritance. Mei Zhi, you should keep it safe, as it may answer the questions in your heart. We take our leave!" said the "mysterious figure with black-framed glasses.
I rapidly turned my little head, activating search mode. After searching N times, I swear I have never seen them, let alone know them
The election is about to begin, and Chao Yu is still waiting for us to pull the ballots! You haven't forgotten, have you?
Hello! I answered the phone
Oh my! Mom has lost her temper again, even the two big men, "the one with the black-framed glasses" and "the chubby one," were intimidated by her and quickly covered their ears. The gentle and virtuous image that Mom had established in their minds is probably completely shattered now
What surprised me even more was that the name of another heir was actually Yuan Mubin
There are no sons or daughters beneath the knees... how truly tragic!
Every time the cherry blossoms bloom, the Qingying Pavilion is always filled with cherry blossoms, and the pink petals fall to the roadside with the wind. The Qingying Pavilion is a super luxurious villa that makes my mouth water every time I pass by! Even the castle of my dreams is based on it, and I can actually inherit it
"Meizhi, hurry back to school!" It was Yisuo's voice
It felt as if a beam of light was shining upon me, while everything around was engulfed in darkness, and I could only hear the monologue of my own heart
I carefully held the letter in my hands, just about to open it, when suddenly, our home phone rang as if it were about to leap up, the sound deafening. My goodness! When did the home phone start roaring like my mother, as if it were a lion? It scared me to death
Oh no! I almost forgot that my mother is still at home waiting for me
Please sign! Another lawyer's voice sounded, and he handed the pen to my hand
The two heirs possess equal rights of inheritance
What exactly is the matter
You have finally returned, but why are you slower than a turtle
Passed away on March 15... Oh, wasn't it yesterday
Did I really go to the wrong door? If I did, I should blame Yuan Mubin for posting such a reward notice for no reason!
Please sign here," he said, pointing to one of the documents.
Is this the reason he offered a reward to find me? So the will he mentioned earlier is the inheritance will of Qingying Pavilion. It turns out he saw the will before I did, which is why he posted the reward notice to find me
Hmm? What is the current situation?
Had I known there was such an inheritance, I would not have had to exert so much effort to gain admission to the noble academy
As soon as I reached the doorstep, I saw two men sitting in the living room, one wearing black-framed glasses and the other being quite plump
"I can't believe that old man had such an inheritance, how come I've never heard of it before?" My mother's eyes nearly popped out.
Therefore
However
I am back! I swaggered into the living room
Since you have returned, we can make the announcement. Nai | Meizhi, today we are here specifically to handle the inheritance procedures for you. According to Article 5 of the Inheritance Law, you will inherit the Qingying Pavilion located at No. 1, Youth Road, Hexi District, effective immediately. "Black-framed glasses" spread out a large stack of documents, completely covering an entire table.
I don't know what mistake Mei Zhi made, you all insist on waiting for her to come back before you are willing to speak. This is my mother's voice
