Chapter 320: Get rich! Lots of inheritance!
Chu Yao pressed the doorbell for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
Qin Jiahuai stood on the other side of the gate, looking at the things posted on the gate.
Chu Yao also walked over to take a look.
It was a notice written entirely in English, full of unfamiliar words.
Chu Yao asked curiously: "What is it written?"
Qin Jiahuai lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Didn't you go abroad to study? How come you still can't understand English? Have you been able to get through all these years?"
"I'm studying abroad in an English-speaking area..." Chu Yao glanced at him speechlessly. "Besides, when we were little, you praised my poor English as patriotism. Why are you calling me a scoundrel now? Well, feelings change after all."
Qin Jiahuai raised his hand and pinched her face, admitting his mistake: "Nothing has changed. I have always loved you physically and rationally."
Chu Yao: "What sex? In broad daylight..."
"..." Qin Jiahuai was speechless for a long time, "You can even drive on this road. I really admire your words."
When he was a child, he thought she was so innocent and worried that they would not be able to have children in the future.
She will not kill him.
Even in the first few versions, she was the one who took the initiative to sleep with him... although he was a little bit of a guide.
But he also knew that the two of them did this every day just to piss each other off.
If you can make the other person speechless with anger, that would be refreshing.
"So what's written on this piece of paper?" Chu Yao asked again about serious matters.
Qin Jiahuai: "Since the 1960s, this house has only been inhabited by an elderly woman named Xie Ying. She had no children and passed away in 2010. Fortunately, the old lady was very knowledgeable and had studied trust business. If the old lady's family comes to look for her, they need to contact this trust company."
Chu Yao took out the photo and looked at the beautiful woman in the cheongsam. "Xie Ying should be the woman in the cheongsam in the photo. She should be my great-aunt...but doesn't she have a son? Why does she live alone?"
Qin Jiahuai picked up the phone and said, "Contact this trust company and ask."
After some communication, the trust company sent someone over to talk to them in person.
An hour later, representatives from the trust company arrived.
The other party opened the door of the villa and led Chu Yao and Qin Jiahuai in to sit down and talk.
The other party first asked: "Do you have any evidence to prove your identity?"
Chu Yao prepared in advance and took out a stack of things.
"Behind this photo is my great-grandfather's will, this is my grandmother's ID, this is my and my grandmother's DNA proof, and this key is also key evidence."
After a pause, Chu Yao glanced at Qin Jiahuai and took out the marriage certificate.
"He's my husband, so he can listen to it with me."
The representative checked carefully and confirmed that they were indeed official documents with legal effect.
The various details about the will were the same as what Ms. Xie had told them.
He opened another document and briefly explained the situation.
"Ms. Xie's family moved to Huili. Not long after, Ms. Xie's husband and children were secretly executed by the Huili authorities. This involved a complex political struggle, and I don't have any detailed information."
So grandma's brother has been dead for decades.
Chu Yao mourned silently for this uncle whom she had never met.
During the years of land reform, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution, the mainland was experiencing the "White Terror," persecuting dissidents on the island and killing more than 200,000 people.
At that time, there were too many complicated things.
But she didn't expect that even the child couldn't escape.
The other party continued, "Ms. Xie was not implicated because she had no involvement in her husband's struggle, but she has been imprisoned in this house."
"During this period, she asked the people who were watching over her to buy her books and subscribe to newspapers, so she never lost touch with society."
"In 2003, she entrusted our company to manage all her assets. Currently, there is only this villa and a box. The rest has been used as management funds."
"If you have no problem with this, please sign. We will immediately send a professional team to handle the formalities for you and help you pass customs."
Chu Yao looked at the beautiful words "Xie Ying" on the power of attorney and felt sincere admiration for this aunt whom she had never met.
This is truly a powerful woman.
She was entrusted by her husband's family to pass on the wealth.
Even though she had no descendants, she still fulfilled her mission and continued to learn and find ways to pass it on.
After Chu Yao signed, the person in charge took her and Qin Jiahuai upstairs to inspect the box.
After everything was done, the person in charge left.
Chu Yao also used the key to open the box.
There are indeed many calligraphy and paintings, elegant stationery, gold and silver utensils, etc.
Chu Yao casually took out a painting and opened it. It was a picture of a lady.
She looked up and asked Qin Jiahuai: "How much money can this be worth?"
Qin Jiahuai looked at the signature and said, "He was a great artist from the Ming Dynasty. His paintings were auctioned in North America for over 70 million last time."
A painting from the Ming Dynasty costs 70 million yuan, and there is also calligraphy by a master from the Jin Dynasty. If you search for his calligraphy, the average price is over 10 million yuan.
Those vases may not be as valuable as calligraphy and paintings, but they must be worth at least a million.
So this box... Chu Yao conservatively estimated: "Can it sell for 500 million?"
Qin Jiahuai nodded: "It should be about the same."
Chu Yao nodded slowly, without much surprise on her face.
Qin Jiahuai leaned casually against the Huanghuali table behind him and looked at Chu Yao with a smile: "You got rich suddenly, and this is your reaction?"
"Only when you actually get the money can you be considered rich, right? Now..."
Chu Yao was a little worried. "According to Great Grandfather's will, should it still be divided with Xu Zhaotang? Although his ancestor was the murderer of Great Grandfather, he did not go to jail, so he meets the conditions for dividing the property."
Qin Jiahuai thought for a moment and said, "He could also go to jail."
Chu Yao: "What do you mean?"
Qin Jiahuai asked in return, "Many important figures are his clients, and they have all been kept forever young thanks to his patented plastic surgery. But how could they possibly agree to have a hole cut in the back of their heads? It could affect their intelligence if they weren't careful."
Chu Yao nodded slowly.
That's right.
Luan Wen was also a client of the Xu family. Last year, when Chu Yao and her had a fight over a minor conflict, she pulled her hair, but her head was fine and there was no scar.
The Xu family may be doing something even more illegal.
After pondering for a long time, Chu Yao said, "For the sake of safety, how about we keep everything separate for the time being?"
"We'll keep some at home, send some to your uncle, and your mother's as well... Forget about your father who's helping with medical work in a war zone."
"Then we'll slowly sell them off to cash in. If you like any of them, you can keep them for later."
Qin Jiahuai nodded: "Okay. I'll do as you say."
They found a professional antique transportation agency to send the items away in batches.
The two most valuable calligraphy and paintings are always carried with me.
When the next version is refreshed, I will probably have to come back to get it. If something unexpected happens this time, it can be avoided in the next one.
-
After a day of hard work, we returned to Fengpu the next day.
Shortly after getting off the plane, Qin Jiahuai's cell phone rang.
When Chu Yao was curious about who it was, she also received an unexpected call.
