Chapter 4
I didn’t win the lottery, but the degree of outrageousness was even more exaggerated than winning the first prize of the Double Color Ball.
After eating and drinking, Lawyer Feng asked all the waiters in the private room to leave, leaving him and Xue Mi alone to talk.
Seeing him sitting upright, Xue Mi couldn't help but straighten his back and prick up his ears to listen to what this guy was going to say.
Her biological mother passed away and left behind a large inheritance. To be honest, this novel-like plot happened to her, and Xue Mi still feels confused, as if she was dreaming.
She believed it a little, but not completely. She also felt that the huge wealth that Lawyer Feng mentioned was not even as real as the big meal she had just had.
At least the price of that meal was clearly stated, and as for the so-called inheritance... hundreds of thousands? Millions?
To be honest, Xue Mi had no idea about this, and even began to worry whether she would have to pay a large amount of inheritance tax.
After all, I heard that taxes abroad are quite heavy. Who knows how much will be left in your pocket after paying the taxes?
Maybe Lawyer Feng's attentiveness is just an attempt to take money out of her pocket?
Xue Mi, who had just finished a big meal, wiped her mouth immediately and hugged her small wallet tightly. She secretly decided that if the inheritance tax was too high, she might as well give up her inheritance rights directly.
Xue Mi lowered her head and took a sip of the dessert that the waiter brought over. The silky cream and fresh fruit created a perfect music in her mouth, making her squint her eyes slightly.
No matter you are rich or poor, you can't let your mouth go wrong!
Seeing her relaxed look, Lawyer Feng couldn't help coughing and first pushed out a box that was almost as big as the Xinhua Dictionary.
"This is a gift that Ms. Mi asked me to personally deliver to you."
There weren't many things in the box, just a few old photos, a stack of handwritten letters, and a yellowed birth certificate with his own name written on it.
Looking at this certificate, the strange feeling of unfamiliarity in Xue Mi's heart was suddenly completely washed away, and she suddenly believed that this so-called Ms. Mi was indeed her mother.
She chewed the word "mom" in her mouth for a long time. The more she chewed, the more bitter it became. It even made her mouth feel more sour than that glass of extremely expensive lemonade.
So, this mother, whose appearance we don’t even know, is really dead?
Xue Mi subconsciously looked at the stack of old photos again.
Among these photos, there are group photos as well as individual photos. The protagonist of the photos is obviously a charming beauty with black hair, fair skin, and a bright and generous smile. When people see her, they can't help but laugh along with her.
The woman in the photo doesn't look like me at all.
Is she really her biological mother?
Xue Mi didn't really want to admit it, but she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her eyes.
Below the photo is a stack of sealed letters. Roughly speaking, there are about 10 of them. Each letter has his or her name written on it, but the handwriting is of different depths, and it seems that they were not written at the same time.
Xue Mi wanted to reach out and open the letter, but her hands started shaking uncontrollably and she stopped.
"You can take your time to read these letters in private," said Lawyer Feng. "Now, let me give you a brief introduction to the general situation of your inheritance."
Xue Mi nodded blankly, not really paying much attention to it.
Until Lawyer Feng said: "The simplest one is a cash inheritance of 1,098,270,000 yuan. This money is the proceeds from the sale of the company's shares by Ms. Mi last year. It has all been converted into Chinese currency and deposited in a domestic bank. Because China does not have an inheritance tax system, you only need to go to the relevant department for notarization, and you can inherit this money unconditionally."
Xue Mi was completely stunned.
All the sadness, confusion, and bitterness from before completely disappeared with the string of numbers that came out of Lawyer Feng's mouth.
"You...how much did you say?" Xue Mi asked tremblingly.
"One billion and ninety-eight million, in cash." Lawyer Feng repeated it calmly with a smile on his face.
Not to mention Xue Mi, he was also shocked when he received the commission.
Their law firm has received many inheritance-related commissions, and they have seen wealthy people who are richer than Ms. Mi. However, most of their wealth is inherited in the form of equity, real estate, or other means. Large sums of cash like this are indeed rare.
Therefore, Lawyer Feng, a senior partner of the law firm, flew to China in person just to meet with Ms. Mi's heirs in advance.
Although at first the heir's reaction was different from what he expected, but at least now she was finally behaving normally.
Nonsense, who wouldn’t be shocked if they suddenly found out that they had 1 billion? !
Xue Mi now only felt her legs go weak and her chest was beating wildly. The blood was pumped directly to her temples, beating painfully with each beat.
After another 10 minutes, she finally recovered. With trembling hands, she counted again the numbers on the document that Lawyer Feng handed over.
￥1,098,270,000
Xue Mi counted three times over and over again, and then felt that she might faint on the spot in front of Lawyer Feng.
After all, that long list of scary numbers could really knock her out.
Lawyer Feng coughed again: "In fact, there should be more money in the account now, after all, there is interest."
Even if calculated based on the current current interest rate of 0.35%, the interest would be 96,000 per day.
Xue Mi felt even more suffocated when she suddenly found out that her annual salary was not even as much as one day's interest.
She didn't even know whether to cry or laugh. She just felt like her heart was stuck in her throat. She wanted to believe it but didn't dare to, and she wanted to scream but didn't dare to. In short, she felt dizzy and felt dizzy.
Overnight, I inexplicably owned 1 billion yuan, and I even had more than I could spend, with nearly 100,000 yuan in interest every day? !
Is this world too fantastical?
But there are far more mysterious things than just this one.
Lawyer Feng quickly produced more relevant inheritance documents, including shares of several large companies that Xue Mi was familiar with, and more than a dozen properties in China and overseas, including commercial buildings, manors, and even an ancient castle!
So, her biological mother who disappeared for more than 20 years is really a super rich person? !
And now, I have become the only heir to this super rich man? !
Xue Mi suddenly couldn't help but burped loudly.
She has had this problem since she was a child. Whenever she is nervous, she can't help hiccuping, and the more nervous she is, the more severe the hiccups become.
Just like now.
The image of a lady and the dignity of a newly rich man were all destroyed in a series of hiccups.
Lawyer Feng was also startled by the burp and asked if he needed a glass of warm water for Xue Mi so that she could calm down first.
Xue Mi shook her hand decisively, and said while burping, "It's no use. Once I calm down, it will heal on its own."
The only problem is that the impact of this huge amount of property, especially the 1 billion yuan, is too great. Xue Mi herself can't tell when she will be able to completely calm down.
While burping, she listened to Lawyer Feng explaining in detail the procedures for inheritance.
The simplest way, of course, is the 1 billion yuan in cash in the country.
It is said to be simple, but it is only relatively speaking. After all, if you want to inherit such a large amount of money legally and reasonably, there are still many procedures to go through.
However, Mi Yaqiu seemed to have anticipated the current situation and had paved the way for his daughter in advance, such as a public and clear will, funds transferred to the country in advance, and Xue Mi as the only heir, all of which made these procedures much easier.
What Xue Mi needs to do now is to apply for a certificate of inheritance rights from the local notary office. Lawyer Feng has already prepared most of the required supporting documents in advance. She only needs to add Xue Mi's own identity proof and submit it directly.
After getting the certificate, Xue Mi can go to the bank to handle the transfer or payment procedures, and then she will become a billionaire that she never dared to think about before.
1 billion in cash deposits, all became assets under her name! ?
Xue Mi couldn't help but gasp again: "So, I don't need to pay anything and I can get the 1 billion directly?"
Unexpectedly, what Lawyer Feng said made her feel cold again: "As far as I know, there is a fee for notarization of inheritance rights. According to the standards of City A, if the amount is more than 10 million yuan, a notarization fee of 0.1% will be charged."
0.1% doesn't sound like much, but compared to 1 billion... that's 1 million? !
Even if Xue Mi is killed, we can’t get the money!
So after all the twists and turns, this is still a scam. They are dangling a 1 billion pie to defraud 1 million in handling fees?
Xue Mi looked at Lawyer Feng and became alert again.
Lawyer Feng couldn't help laughing at her quick change of expression, and he laughed several times before saying, "Don't worry, Ms. Mi also anticipated the current situation and has already paid various fees to our law firm in advance, so you don't have to worry about it."
Xue Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that her biological mother was so thoughtful and considerate of everything, so she didn't have to worry at all.
But why, in all these years, she has never come to see me?
Thinking of this, in addition to being ecstatic, Xue Mi couldn't help feeling a little lost.
Of course, in the face of massive wealth, this little loss is totally unimportant!
It is still the Spring Festival holiday, and government departments and banks are closed. Notarization and account transfer cannot be done for a while. Faced with Xue Mi who is worried about gains and losses, Lawyer Feng took the initiative to ask for Xue Mi's bank account, and then directly transferred 300,000 cash to her:
"This is also what Ms. Mi told you in advance. She will provide you with some expenses during this period, and she also hopes that you can adapt to the change in your status as soon as possible."
Compared with the 1 billion in cash, and the pile of shares and real estate luxury homes, these 300,000 are just like a drizzle.
But for Xue Mi, who was used to being poor, this little drizzle was enough to create a huge wave in her heart.
300,000! Pocket money! Let her spend it however she wants!
It was not until she saw the deposit balance in the bank text message suddenly jump to 304 and 365 that Xue Mi finally felt that she had become a wealthy woman.
When she was gifted with a huge fortune, her first concern was how to spend it.
