Two days later, all of Shan Changqing's relatives and friends came to his funeral, including his aunt Lou Shishi and her family, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The old man was the only emotional bond between the Shan family and the Lou family. Now that the old man has passed away, it also means that the Shan family and the Lou family will gradually drift apart in the years to come.
Yu Shuang also came to the funeral, wearing a black suit and standing far away.
After seeing off all the guests, the family returned to Taohua An. At the door, a middle-aged man in a neat suit, carrying a briefcase, had been waiting for a long time.
Shan Zhentian: "You are!"
The middle-aged man took out a name tag from his pocket and handed it to Shan Zhentian: "Hello, Mr. Shan, I am Lawyer Gao from Hengtai Law Firm. I am here to announce Mr. Shan's will."
will?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and no longer sleepy.
Lawyer Gao: "Six months ago, Mr. Shan had a heart attack and was hospitalized. At that time, he entrusted me to draw up a will. If something unexpected happens in the future, he will gather everyone to announce the will. Where are Shan Zhentian, Shan Weizi, and Liu Piaopiao?"
Shan Zhentian: "Yes. Let's talk inside."
After inviting them into the house and sitting in the living room, Yasuo asked the nanny to make tea for everyone, and specially made a cup of ginseng tea for Liu Piaopiao and Shan Weizi. These two women had been in tears for the past two days.
Lawyer Gao looked around the courtyard and could only describe it in one word - huge!
Lawyer Gao took out a thick document.
"These are all of Mr. Shan's assets, including his deceased capital of 39.21 million yuan, his 7,293.2-square-meter Taohua An, a historic residence nestled on the shores of West Lake, and his collection of antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. These include Tang Yin's authentic "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," the lost Eastern Jin Dynasty original "Gu Kaizhi's 'The Goddess of the Luo River,'" and... a Yuan Dynasty official kiln blue and white porcelain vase and a Qing Dynasty Kangxi official kiln enamel-colored vase..."
Lawyer Gao only picked out the key points.
Su Ran opened his eyes wide. You know, the old man's 39.21 million is nothing compared to the rare treasures below.
This Taohua Temple, located on the edge of West Lake, is an ancient house with cultural heritage. With this area and this price, if it were to be sold now, it would instantly surpass the courtyard houses in the imperial capital, starting at at least several hundred million.
Those authentic ones are always better than the other.
Tang Yin's paintings are very popular in the market now. In 2013, Tang Yin's "Viewing the Waterfall at Lushan Mountain" was auctioned at Sotheby's in New York with a starting price of 300 million yuan. After 120 rounds of competition, it was finally sold for 590 million US dollars, which was about 3.6 billion yuan at the time.
That was in the past. Things are different now. Moreover, this "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is a legendary painting. Its price is no worse than the one above.
Gu Kaizhi's "The Goddess of Luo River", wow... Su Ran couldn't estimate its price.
Those Yuan blue and white porcelain, enamel colors, etc...
Let me put it this way, the old man bought these with the money he earned decades ago, and now, that investment has brought in astronomical figures.
Any one of them is worth hundreds of millions.
The quantity is not much, but the quality is.
Well... the old man understood the truth decades ago: 'Play the best'.
Let’s put it this way, all of the old man’s artworks, plus this mansion, are worth over 10 billion.
How to divide so many assets?
Fortunately, there are not many children and they made a will in advance. Otherwise, they would have fought over property just like what was reported in the news. There are many such news reports.
Lawyer Gao read on and on for a long time, and it was time to read the will.
Shan Zhentian, Shan Weizi, Liu Piaopiao, and Su Ran.
Yasuo and his stewards were at the back, even more nervous than those in the front.
Lawyer Gao: "Shan Weizi, right?"
Shan Weizi: “Yeah.”
Lawyer Gao took out a will and handed it to Shan Weizi: "Miss Shan, this is the will your grandfather left you. All the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in his name belong to you."
Shan Weizi's net worth skyrocketed instantly, exceeding at least 5 billion.
Lawyer Gao: "Mr. Shan Zhentian."
Shan Zhentian: “Yeah.”
Lawyer Gao took out another will and handed it to Shan Zhentian: "Mr. Shan, this is the will your father Liu Changqing left you. All the cash is 39.21 million."
No more?
Su Ran was stunned.
Lawyer Gao had already taken out another will and handed it to Liu Piaopiao: "Mr. Shan left this Peach Blossom Temple to Ms. Liu Piaopiao."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Liu Piaopiao.
This garden house was given to Liu Piaopiao.
The son got almost nothing.
The daughter-in-law got this big garden.
Lawyer Gao: "Mr. Shan said when he made his will that he left his favorite things to you and hoped you would cherish them."
In fact, if you think about this will carefully, the most valuable things were given to the mother and daughter. Dan Zhentian got nothing, but it was not too much.
Because he was divorced, he didn't get any.
If he had listened to the old man, not divorced Liu Piaopiao, and lived a good life, he would not have gained nothing.
Even when the old man was hospitalized a month ago, he did not ask Lawyer Gao to revise his will. It can be seen that the old man really loves Liu Piaopiao.
As for his son, he could be angry, but if he didn't give him anything, he wouldn't give it to him. After all, he was his biological son. The old man knew that Shan Zhentian was not short of money, and he would live a good life even if he didn't give him anything.
Liu Piaopiao accepted the will, and what belonged to her belonged to Shan Weizi.
What belongs to Dan Weizi is Su Ran’s, and what belongs to her future son.
The world belongs to Su.
On the other side, Kokoxi is trying to restore Aina's title so that her son can become king in the future.
On this side, Liu Piaopiao and Shan Weizi got all the inheritance, and in the future they can have a litter of sons and run around freely in the yard.
Su Ran, who has remained silent all this time, is the biggest beneficiary.
