The next day, Lawyer Bai came to see Lu Jiaxin and said to her, "Ms. Lu, Mr. He hopes that you can withdraw the lawsuit."
Although she has applied to the court, she is still waiting in line. The case can only be filed after the court accepts it. Before that, there will be no problem if she withdraws the lawsuit.
Lu Jiaxin was unwilling to withdraw the lawsuit and said, "The He family insisted that all the assets under my name were given by my great aunt, and forced me to return the money to them. In this case, let the court decide, and I will not lose any of the money that I deserve, and I will not take any of the money that I do not deserve."
Lawyer Bo said this was a misunderstanding: "It was Ms. Gu's former maid who told Mrs. He that Ms. Gu gave all her private property to you, and Mrs. He took it seriously. Don't worry, Mr. He has made it clear to Mrs. He."
Lu Jiaxin said mercilessly: "Misunderstanding? On the one hand, they forced me to return my aunt's so-called private property to them, and on the other hand, they spread rumors that I stole my aunt's antiques and jewelry. Lawyer Bai, tell He Zhuliang that it is impossible for me to withdraw the lawsuit."
Lawyer Bai said, "Ms. Lu, have you ever thought about Ms. Gu and Mr. Gu when you do this? They are now living in the old house of the Gu family."
Lu Jiaxin said that she had been considering the two of them living in the He family's old house, so she had never thought about dividing the property even if there was a will. But the He family wanted to seize even her property, so she couldn't give in anymore.
Seeing that Lawyer Bai wanted to say more, Lu Jiaxin said, "They took away my great-aunt's property worth more than 200 million yuan and didn't take good care of her. They also slandered me as a thief. I can't swallow this anger. I must fight the lawsuit."
Lawyer Bai returned empty-handed.
He Zhuliang was very angry when he saw Lu Jiaxin questioning and appealing. More than half of Gu Xiuxiu's property had been sold, and the money had been used to pay off debts. If the court filed a case, the court would pursue the money. But the money could not be recovered. Once the court tracked the whereabouts of the money, the consequences would be something he could not bear.
Lawyer Bai said: "There is a saying in the mainland that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. This matter was caused by Ms. Gu. If she had come forward, Ms. Lu would have withdrawn her application."
He Zhuliang thought this was a method, and if it didn't work, he would have to resort to extraordinary measures. It was also because Nie Zhan was standing behind that girl, otherwise he would have sent someone to tie her up and throw her into the sea to feed the fish.
That evening, Auntie Mei found Lu Jiaxin and told her not to sue He Zhuliang: "Cousin, we are all family. It would not be good to take it to court."
Lu Jiaxin was unwilling to give in and said, "It's not me who wants to go to court. It's He Zhuliang and Li Xuanqi who are going too far."
After knowing the whole story, Aunt Mei sighed and said, "My cousin, you have always been dissatisfied with why the old lady did not make a will. It's not that the old lady did not want to make a will, but she did not dare to do so. He Zhuliang is ruthless and has stained his hands with the blood of countless people over the years. Now that he is willing to give in, you should stop while you are ahead, otherwise if he gets angry, even Third Master Nie will not be able to protect you."
"Did he kill many people?"
Mei Gu nodded: "Although I don't know how many lives were lost, there are definitely ten lives lost, including some well-known figures."
Lu Jiaxin felt nervous: "Yes..."
Seeing her asking questions, Mei Gu shook her head and said, "Miss cousin, don't ask about these things. Sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it is."
Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."
Aunt Mei told her not to think about it, because if He Zhuliang lost his patience, he would definitely kill her. As long as she died, the custody of Gu Haifan would be in He Zhuliang's hands, and the matter would be over.
Lu Jiaxin frowned and said nothing.
Aunt Mei said, "Cousin, you should withdraw the lawsuit immediately and take the old lady out. She has been unconscious since she was taken away. I suspect she didn't take her medicine."
Lu Jiaxin didn't laugh it off this time: "I need to discuss this with Nie Zhan."
Nie Zhan knew her temper. If it wasn't urgent, she wouldn't let him go. "Okay, I'll come over now."
After they met, Lu Jiaxin told Gu Xiuxiu that she might stop taking the medicine: "When I went there, my aunt was unconscious. How was her condition when you went there?"
"Also delirious."
Nie Zhan felt that Mei Gu's guess was most likely correct: "He Zhuliang is selling Ms. Gu's property to pay off his debts, so he naturally doesn't want her to wake up. Jiaxin, this happened in the He family's old house, and it's difficult for us to collect evidence."
Lu Jiaxin also told me about how He Zhuliang had murdered many people: "Aunt Mei advised me to reconcile, otherwise my life would be in danger. Nie Zhan, have you heard any rumors?"
Nie Zhan nodded and said, "I've heard people say that He Zhuliang is ruthless. I asked my grandfather yesterday, and he said that He Zhuliang's actions are extreme, and it's best not to provoke such a person."
"Then do you accept the settlement?"
"It's best to accept the settlement. Even if you want to deal with him, it can't be now, otherwise he will fight to the death and you will be in danger."
After thinking for a while, Lu Jiaxin said, "Nie Zhan, I want to put the Gu residence under my and Haifan's name, and then bring my aunt back to live in the Gu residence. For the next year, they will pay 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses. What do you think?"
The villa was in her and Gu Haifan's name, firstly because she was worried that Gu Haifan would not be able to keep the villa, and secondly because of the uncertainty of the future. What if he changed his mind and wanted to sell the villa? There would be no way to stop him at that time. She had half of the property rights, and the villa could not be sold without her consent.
"Can."
Although she decided to reconcile, Lu Jiaxin did not express her opinion immediately. The previous incident made her realize that the more she was afraid of these people, the more they would push their limits. If she confronted them head-on, their attitude would actually become better.
Two days later, He Mingzhu came to see her and asked directly, "Jia Xin, what do you want in exchange for your willingness to withdraw the lawsuit?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't answer her, but asked: "Your mother said that I took my aunt's private money and asked me to return it. Do you think my aunt will really give me the private money?"
He Mingzhu felt that even if Gu Xiuxiu gave all her private property to Lu Jiaxin, there would not be much money left. The reason was simple. The accounts of these years, every income and expenditure were clear: "Jiaxin, my mother was wrong this time. I apologize on her behalf. It's just a matter of the will. We can sit down and discuss it. There's no need to go to court."
Lu Jiaxin said in a good-tempered manner: "Ms. He, let me show you a video first, and then we can talk after you finish watching it."
She just didn't believe that He Mingzhu would remain indifferent when she knew that the 10% of the shares were originally given to her. If she was really so generous, then she could only say that He Zhuliang and his wife raised a filial daughter.
After the video was over, Lu Jiaxin took out the document that Gu Xiuxiu had given her. Gu Xiuxiu had clearly written on it that 10% of her shares would be given to He Mingzhu.
Lu Jiaxin said: "My aunt said that you are the only one in the He family who can keep the He Group. Others will only make the group decline. The He Group was founded by your grandfather. My aunt can't bear to see it go bankrupt or change hands."
He Mingzhu read every word very carefully.
