Chapter 385 Zhang Di's Will
When Gu Jianguo started making a scene, Gu Youran calmed down instead.
She always felt there was something fishy going on.
The person may really be dead, but... something's not right.
"Can I go in and take a look?"
Gu Youran's expression was very indifferent; she calmly accepted everything.
The doctor standing nearby seemed flustered and quickly explained, "This has nothing to do with me. I took meticulous care of her from beginning to end, but she just wouldn't cooperate with me and refused to accept treatment."
“You can check the daily medication records and surveillance videos at any time. You can’t blame me for this.”
Zhang Di brought this upon herself, so you can't blame her. She followed President Li's instructions every day without ever slacking off.
The hospital doctor explained, "During our examination, we did find that she had not taken any medication, and there were only a few traces of the drug in her body, indicating that she had not taken any medication for a long time and was not cooperating with the treatment."
They couldn't lie about something like this; they could only tell the truth.
Gu Youran accepted it calmly; the person Li Huaijin had found wouldn't harm or cheat her.
But Gu Jianguo wasn't so easy to talk to; he wanted to pin all the blame on the doctor.
"It's all your fault! If you had granted my wife medical parole in time, she wouldn't have died! You bunch of quacks!"
He then turned his ire towards Gu Youran, launching into a tirade: "And you, you unfilial daughter! Your mother worried herself sick over you her whole life, and even in death she couldn't rest in peace."
Gu Youran's expression was very cold: "I said, what you say doesn't count."
"If I remember correctly, we broke off relations a long time ago. What's the point of saying this now?"
They're not family anymore, so saying these things would make them seem like they have ulterior motives.
Gu Youran bypassed the doctor and Gu Jianguo and went straight into the operating room.
Zhang Di lay peacefully in her hospital bed; she had indeed passed away.
Watching her figure, Gu Youran suddenly couldn't hold back and sat down on the ground, her eyes filled with a dazed look.
"You've worked so hard for them your whole life, and now they're still scheming against you. Mom, do you think it's worth it?"
Gu Youran felt that her mother was very sad. She had schemed against her own daughter her whole life, but in the end, she was schemed against by her own husband.
"Since you have passed away, may you rest in peace. In the next life... let's not be mother and daughter again."
She was so calm, it was as if a complete stranger had died in front of her, rather than as if her mother had died.
When she reached the door and saw a lawyer accompanying Guo Jianguo, she knew that Zhang Di's threat of suicide was merely a ploy to secure a future for her husband and son.
Gu Jianguo probably has a histrionic personality disorder. He pretended to be very sad and desperate: "You Ran, after the police's persuasion, I understand that your mother's matter has nothing to do with you and the doctor. I was just being too stubborn."
Although he was handcuffed, it did not affect his performance. At this moment, he was calm and composed.
"This is Attorney Zhang. Your mother told me before she passed away that she consulted Attorney Zhang to make a will. Since everyone is here, why don't we listen to what your mother has to say?"
Gu Jianguo introduced himself awkwardly, his eyes darting away guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Gu Youran.
"What...do you mean?" Gu Youran knew that Gu Jianguo was plotting against Zhang Di, but she didn't expect him to be so impatient.
The talent had barely left, and as the old saying goes, his body was barely cold when Gu Jianguo arrived with his lawyer.
Under Gu Jianguo's gaze, Attorney Zhang looked at Gu Youran with a serious expression and took out the agreement he had prepared in advance: "Ms. Gu, this is the will prepared by your mother, Ms. Zhang Di. We need you to listen to it."
Gu Youran looked around again, but she didn't see Gu Bin. "Where's your son? Didn't you say everyone was here?"
"As long as it's just me and you, that's enough. As for your brother... he doesn't need to know anything else for now."
Anyway, since he's the father, he can take care of it.
Attorney Zhang explained in a deep voice: "Since your loved one passed away, the police have made an exception and allowed your brother, Gu Bin, to come out and see your mother off for the last time. He should be on his way now."
Gu Youran glanced at the two people in front of her expressionlessly, then suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Your wife just passed away, and you can't wait to announce your will. It seems that this will is about me, otherwise you wouldn't be announcing your so-called will here while I'm here."
Isn't this all aimed at her?
"Attorney Zhang, where do you live?"
"West of the city."
That really took a lot of effort.
The hospital is 20 to 30 kilometers away in the western part of the city, and this is Beijing, where traffic is usually heavy. Yet, this lawyer Zhang actually arrived, and so punctually at the hospital.
"You came at just the right time; there's no traffic jam coming from the west of the city."
Attorney Zhang: "......"
I'm just an employee; there's no need for them to keep targeting me.
I work for money; everything else is irrelevant to me.
"Ms. Gu Youran, I am doing my job."
**
While waiting for Gu Bin to arrive, none of them mentioned sending Zhang Di to the morgue or issuing an obituary.
However, it wasn't Gu Bin who arrived first, but Li Huaijin.
Looking at the haggard Gu Youran, Li Huaijin was speechless with heartache, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He walked slowly to Gu Youran's side and pulled her into his arms.
She was perfectly fine when she left the company, so why has she become like this now? She's lifeless, and her eyes are dull and lifeless, completely different from when we first met.
"You Ran, I'm here for you. No matter what, I'll be there for you."
Gu Youran rested her head on Li Huaijin's chest without saying a word.
It wasn't until Gu Bin arrived that everyone started to react, instantly surrounding Gu Youran.
"Since Bin'er is here, let's begin reading the will. The police officer is here too, he can be a witness."
Zhang Di, that woman, has worried herself sick over him all her life. She even threatened to kill herself, and I never expected her to actually do it.
Gu Youran couldn't possibly disobey her own mother's will.
Gu Jianguo had a hint of pleasure in his eyes. He had wanted to do this for a long time. His company was gone, but he would be able to leave in two years. At that time... everything Gu Youran owned would be his. Zhang Di could be considered to have done a good deed before she died.
Attorney Zhang solemnly read the will: "All movable and immovable property under the name of the client, Zhang Di, shall be inherited by her son, Gu Bin, including two villas in the south of the city, two large apartments, as well as a fund and 3% of the shares in the Chen Group..."
With each word he spoke, Gu Bin's face brightened, but Gu Jianguo was not so happy.
"As for all the assets under Ms. Gu Youran's name..."
Gu Jianguo thought to himself, "Finally, I've heard something useful."
This slut has so many things under her name, but she didn't take them out and left them all to Gu Bin. She didn't care about her husband at all.
Unexpectedly, she still did as he asked in the end, which meant giving him Gu Youran's company.
His heart was pounding in his throat; he couldn't wait to know the answer.
"Since I severed my mother-daughter relationship with Gu Youran ten years ago, all her achievements have nothing to do with me. I have no right to ask about them, let alone decide the ownership of Gu Youran's company!"
boom--
Not only Gu Jianguo was stunned, but even Gu Youran was frozen in place, unsure of what to say...
"impossible!"
