Chapter 230: The Rich Old Lady (4)
Shi Sui made demands on the young lawyer that were beyond her job scope, not because she wanted to deliberately make things difficult for a young lawyer who had nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to use the female lawyer's mouth to convey a signal to the Zhou family's lawyers and the Zhou family: Old Mrs. Zhou, who had returned from the gates of hell after 21 years, had a temper and demands, and was not to be trifled with.
In this way, the Zhou family will give her enough attention.
Her move was quite successful.
Shi Sui portrayed herself as a shrewd, sharp and difficult to serve old lady. Not only did her second and fourth brothers express their desire to meet her through Lawyer Shen more than once, but even her third brother's two daughters came to her.
It really is "coming to your door" in the literal sense.
The two sisters were quite wild. Without any prior communication, they suddenly appeared outside Shisui's ward with flowers and fruits on the afternoon before she was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital.
Naturally, both of them were stopped by the female lawyer.
It was only then that Shi Sui found out about this because she had already arranged for the middle-aged caregiver to help keep an eye on any movement outside at any time.
Tokisui received the news and pushed open the door in her hospital gown, just in time to see a young female lawyer wearing black-framed glasses arguing with the sisters.
"Mr. Zhou...ah, sorry, Miss Zhou..." The female lawyer saw Shi Sui's tense face and quickly changed her words, "Did I disturb your rest? Don't worry, I can handle this quickly."
"What are you going to deal with?"
Shi Sui took a few steps forward and looked carefully at Old Lady Zhou's two nieces.
Judging from their appearance, there is a big age gap between them. The elder sister is in her 40s, while the younger sister is younger, just in her early 30s.
They were good-looking, with well-maintained figures, long hair, decent clothes, and dignified manners. When they saw Shi Sui appear, they all called out politely, "Hello, auntie, we finally see you!"
Tokiho met with the two of them. The young lawyer was quite troubled, but she tried her best to remain calm and control the situation.
"I'm sorry, let me reiterate, you didn't make an appointment in advance, so you can't visit. Please go back."
The younger sister of the nieces and sisters immediately argued, "Visit? Are you using that word as if my aunt is a criminal? Or are you saying you have law enforcement power? Don't think you can fool people just because you're a lawyer."
The lawyer girl remained unyielding: "I have been entrusted by the Zhou Family Trust Foundation. My duty is to protect Miss Zhou's personal rights from any infringement. Please abide by the trust foundation's agreement."
Shi Sui watched coldly.
Three women quarreled over her, an old woman with no assets or power. Shouldn't Tokiho feel a little touched?
No.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to examine the twin daughters born to Old Lady Zhou's third brother.
Shi Sui asked the lawyer's younger sister, "I spoke with and met my two nieces. Will I lose weight or money?"
"Ah, that definitely won't happen..." the lawyer explained, "It's just that if they violate the visitation agreement, they might be questioned by other members of the family trust fund committee. If it causes serious consequences, they will be held accountable."
There are so many rules in wealthy families. No one wants to suffer losses, and no one wants others to take advantage of them.
"So I won't lose anything, right?" Tokiho turned to her nieces. "Then it's up to you. As long as you're not afraid of being targeted, feel free to come in and chat with an old lady like me."
The two sisters looked at each other and immediately responded enthusiastically: "Thank you for your help, aunt! Our father is gone, and as the younger generation, we should come here to fulfill our filial duties."
After hearing these high-sounding words, Shisui sneered in her heart.
Among wealthy families, profit comes first, and family and love are not worth mentioning.
Let's take a look at what the two sisters are asking for.
Once the ward door was closed, blocking the lawyer sister outside, Shisui slowly walked to the wall and looked out through the glass window with blinds.
Ever since the news of her awakening from a vegetative state spread, sporadic paparazzi began to stake out outside the hospital.
But there are obviously more people holding cameras today than in the past few days... Maybe they heard the news and knew that she would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so they gathered together to grab the news.
"You chose to come here this afternoon specifically to get photographed by the paparazzi, right? Whether I let you into the ward or not, there will probably be favorable reports about you in tomorrow's newspapers."
Tokiho was very direct and straightforward when she spoke to the sisters.
That's exactly the way it is.
The three brothers' two daughters are at a disadvantage in the battle for inheritance. If they can win over their aunt, Old Lady Zhou, who holds shares, to join forces with them, they will have a better chance of winning.
The sisters were just shocked by the mountains of magazines in the room, and were immediately frightened by Shihui's straightforward remarks.
"It seems Auntie is very concerned about the media reports..." The younger sister responded quickly. "Seeing you read so many newspapers and magazines and look so energetic, we are relieved."
This little girl is quite good at speaking politely.
Just now, they were dealing with the lawyer girl outside the ward, and it was the lawyer girl who spoke more and more harshly.
She has a straight nose and her eyes are distinct and bright. She can be sharp and strong, but she can also restrain her edge at the right time.
Such a strong and gentle character is suitable for surviving in a wealthy family and also for making a name for herself in the business world...
"I'm an old man, feeling bored in the ward. What else can I do if not read some entertainment gossip to kill time?" Shi Sui glanced at her sister out of the corner of her eye, "If I remember correctly, your name is Zhou Shiya, right?
"It's an honor for me that my aunt still remembers my name."
Zhou Shiya stood up, diligently poured Shisui a cup of warm water, and handed it to her with both hands.
But Shisui didn't answer.
If she accepts it, it means she is willing to join forces with her sisters.
But now Shisui must ensure its independence.
She didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her attitude: "I appreciate your filial piety, but let's talk about the future after I return to my old house and settle down."
She had met the two sisters today and had a general understanding of them.
I won’t go into more detail on the deeper aspects here.
Niece Zhou Shiya put down her water cup, exchanged glances with her sister, and then said something shocking: "Aunt, we knew you would be discharged tomorrow, so we rushed here to remind you to pay attention to your personal safety when you return."
"Wow~ That sounds scary~" Tokiho raised her feet, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Shiya pretended to be mysterious and said, "The paparazzi are indeed powerful, but there are some inside stories that you can't see in magazines. Just like the real cause of our father's death...Anyway, you must be careful."
