She nodded, and the lawyer immediately handed her an envelope: "This is the will and keys held by our law firm."
The bank manager then reached out and handed over a small key box: "These are the keys stored in the bank. Please take a look."
Uncle Ming also handed over a key: "Third Aunt, this is the house key."
Chen Rou pushed the safe towards him: "Uncle Ming, could you please open it for me?"
Uncle Ming first put on white gloves before taking the safe. He inserted all three keys at the same time, and with a click, the safe opened.
Silently apologizing to the original owner of the body, Chen Rou accepted the safe.
...
On top was a small, yellowish envelope sealed with wax, followed by a large A4-sized envelope that was open and not sealed with wax. Uncle Ming handed both envelopes to Chen Rou, saying, "There's something else inside."
He added, "Third Aunt, this sachet has been stored for too long; it might break if you touch it. Please take it yourself."
Inside was also a satin sachet and half a crescent-shaped jade pendant.
Having read plenty of time-travel novels in her past life, Chen Rou's first thought was: the original owner of this body must have a story behind her background, and her father must not be just an ordinary couple in Kowloon City and Pig Cage Village.
The small envelope likely contained private letters, which the lawyer did not have a copy of. However, the lawyer did have a copy of the documents in the large envelope, and this copy was to be handed over to the Nie family.
In Han Yuzhu's will, the original owner of Asheng Jewelry, in which she held shares, would inherit 5% after marriage, and an additional 5% for each son she had. This was the same as the number of shares held by Nie Zhen's wife, with the percentage increasing for each child she had.
Then there was the house. As the mother-in-law, Han Yuzhu gave the original owner a floor in Central. In addition, she also gave the original owner a lot of jewelry, which had been allocated in advance and stored in a jewelry store.
Chen Rou only needs to give an order, and Uncle Ming will bring the receipt to her to redeem it.
Such a sum of money is nothing to the Nie family, but it is a huge fortune to the original owner of this body.
Chen Rou hadn't decided what to do with these things yet, so she put the envelope away first. After going downstairs and returning to her car, she opened the small envelope. She thought there would be a letter from Han Yuzhu inside, but there was nothing there. There was only a birth certificate with her name, Chen Rou, written on it, but the parents' section was blank.
However, there is one fingerprint in the father's column and one fingerprint in the mother's column, one large and one small, which suggests that they are a male and a female.
If you add that sachet and half a jade pendant to the mix, it definitely reveals a question about their lineage.
Recently, there have been fewer bodyguards at home, so Uncle Ming drives his own car.
Chen Rou was in the passenger seat, so she asked Uncle Ming, "Uncle Ming, you've always been my mother-in-law's maid, so you should know why my mother-in-law arranged a marriage for me when I was very young."
Uncle Ming said, "It must be because of first impressions. She used to like you a lot, and she always loved to hug and kiss you."
Chen Rou cracked her knuckles as she suddenly asked Uncle Ming, "Is Jia Yu's nose alright? I hit him pretty hard back then."
Uncle Ming heard the threat in those words and quickly said, "The Chairman and that man surnamed Mei only know a little about your background. Only Third Master knows the most. You should ask Third Master."
By this time, the car had already returned to the hospital and entered the underground parking garage.
Seeing that Chen Rou didn't speak, Uncle Ming slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. He covered his nose with both hands and tried to say, "Third Aunt, I often have to go out. Not only do I run into acquaintances, but there are also reporters waiting outside the hospital to take pictures. If my nose is broken, I won't be able to face people."
He was afraid that his third wife, who was quick to resort to fists at the slightest provocation, would smash his nose.
But actually, Chen Rou was just threatening him and didn't mean to hit him. As she spoke, she got out of the car and went up the elevator.
A woman like Han Yuzhu, who can run a successful business in a place like Hong Kong full of powerful figures, would never choose just any daughter-in-law for her son. Therefore, the original owner of this body must have a story behind her background.
Of course, Mei Lu and Mei Baoshan were just talking nonsense and trying to distract her.
Han Yuzhu chose the original owner of this body as her daughter-in-law for only one reason: the original owner's background would greatly benefit the Nie family's business.
Well, Nie Zhao and his son are still sick and need to rest for a few more days. The danger she was in has been eliminated, and she can finally rest for a few days. Chen Rou might as well investigate the original owner's background.
