It was a mooncake box in the shape of a jewelry box.
The packaging sticker on the surface has been torn off, leaving only scattered irregular white sticky paper.
There is a handle on the top and a lock on the front.
However, next to the opening and closing lock, there is a small lock installed as a superfluous addition, which is obviously installed artificially.
The small lock is slightly rusty and you can tell it's quite old.
Xiao Siyun was quite interested in the shape of the box. He touched it and said with a smile:
"It's made of paper. It can be opened with a little force. What's the point of having a lock on it?"
Lawyer Li also laughed and said: "Then you should ask why you locked it when you were a child."
"Ah? Me?" Xiao Siyun was shocked.
"Oh no, you can't even remember because you've lost your memory." Lawyer Li teased her, "Anyway, your grandfather said you were the one who insisted he put a lock on it."
"Little brat."
Xiao Qilin also laughed at his daughter, and Xiao Yingzhi's low laughter could be heard through the headphones.
Xiao Siyun smiled bitterly, this time he was the one who got hurt.
Lawyer Li took out a small key and handed it to Xiao Siyun, "You come?"
Chen Tong's heart was pounding with panic.
This box has some connection with Xiao Siyun, and Lawyer Li also has a good impression of Xiao Siyun.
Faced with the goodwill shown by Lawyer Li, Xiao Siyun's eyes sparkled and he took the key directly.
She unlocked the door, opened the closure, lifted the upper baffle, and when the magnetic buckle loosened, the lower baffle flipped down.
It is also a double-layer mooncake box.
She looked up and asked Lawyer Li, "Can I really open it?"
"certainly."
After getting permission, Xiao Siyun first pulled out the first compartment, which contained an envelope in a plastic bag.
On the envelope were written four large characters in a flamboyant style: "Special Circumstances".
Chen Tong's eyes widened, and she eagerly leaned over to look at it, urging her, "Open it!"
But Xiao Siyun hesitated and looked up at Lawyer Li again.
Lawyer Li pulled over a chair and sat down, nodding with his chin, "You can open it and take a look."
Xiao Siyun was extremely surprised. As he unwrapped the box layer by layer, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Chen Tong, his father and brother have not been able to find out this news for many years.
That's why he thought of tricking Chen Tong into coming to peek, but as soon as she arrived, Lawyer Li offered her the job with both hands?
Isn't this all in vain?
But it would be a waste not to read it, so Xiao Siyun took out the paper from the envelope and nervously opened it...
There were only a few lines of words written on it. In order to let Xiao Yingzhi know, Xiao Siyun read them down:
"If one of the heirs is missing, the will will be invalidated immediately and the estate will be handled according to the legal heirs."
"If all the heirs are of age and have unanimously agreed, the will can take effect immediately. The text of the will shall prevail."
In the lower right corner is Mr. Xiao’s signature and handprint.
"Um?"
After reading it, Xiao Qilin and Xiao Siyun were shocked and confused, and their heads felt like a tangled mess.
Then, without a word, the tangled mess of cricket pupae twisted into two words:
It’s settled!
Roughly speaking, after the designated heirs come the statutory heirs.
But what does it mean if one is missing, it will be invalid?
Is grandpa afraid that someone might encounter an accident?
As a wealthy family, even if they have never done anything like it, they must have heard of inheritance robbery.
So the father and daughter first thought of a horrifying suspicion.
However, Chen Tong obviously did not pay attention to the issue of legal heirs and only asked about matters that took effect immediately.
"So, as long as they both agree to the will taking effect immediately after they reach adulthood, there's no need to wait until they graduate from college?"
Lawyer Li smiled and nodded, "Literally speaking, yes."
After answering Chen Tong, he turned to look at Xiao Siyun.
At this time, Xiao Siyun was still staring at the piece of paper with a frozen expression, feeling that something was wrong.
"Originally, you being missing is a big problem. I've discussed this situation with Lawyers Wang and Lu."
"Lawyer Wang insisted on invalidating the will, but Lawyer Lu and I felt that there was at least room for recovery."
"In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and the two lawyers passed away one after another. I was the only one left, guarding this will until now."
"Now, fortunately you are back, which saves me a lot of work."
"Uncle Li is old, and he can't stand you coming to ask about him every few days."
He glanced at Chen Tong meaningfully, and then said to Xiao Siyun:
"As far as I know, Xiao Yun will also be an adult on her birthday soon."
"When the time comes, you can discuss it and see what to do. Feel free to contact me."
After Lawyer Li finished speaking, he slowly packed up his things.
Xiao Siyun tried to open the second drawer with a thieving heart, but Lawyer Li slapped his hand away.
"The text of the will is placed below, it's sealed. If you open it, it won't count."
Frightened, Xiao Siyun had to retract his hand in disappointment and asked boldly.
"Uncle Li, is the inheritance large? Will it be divided in half?"
"no."
Lawyer Li put the box back into the safe, and his light words made the three people feel like they were facing a great enemy.
"Then who has more and who has less?"
At this moment, Xiao Siyun was like Xiao Zeyun, a reckless man, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xiao Qilin was full of confidence. After all, Si Yun had a deeper relationship with her grandfather, so she could get more, right?
Chen Tong was a little lacking in confidence, but he still couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.
It is precisely because Xiao Yun has little contact with the old man that she should be compensated more!
Lawyer Li certainly knew what they were thinking, but due to professional requirements, he could not elaborate.
But he suddenly remembered how Mr. Xiao checked the list of collections in the library and assigned each item to someone, and he couldn't help laughing.
