When the old man mentioned that he would talk to her about this, she thought it was just like giving one or two companies under the Su Group as part of her dowry, which would ensure she would never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life. But she never expected that the old man would give her so much.
"What the old man means is that the 30% you inherit belongs to your mother." With three children, the daughter gets 30%, and since the daughter has passed away, it is only right for her children to inherit.
Su Ziqing nodded. Her grandfather loved her mother very much. If her mother hadn't passed away early, she might have been the successor of the Su family.
Then it becomes clear why the old man made this arrangement.
“But…” Attorney Jin said with a serious expression, “the will has not yet fully taken effect.”
Su Ziqing was puzzled. "What do you mean by 'not fully effective'?" If it's effective, it's not effective; if it's not effective, it's not effective. It's strange that it's not fully effective.
"The old man's will is still being drafted, and some details are still pending. Most importantly..." Attorney Jin looked at Su Ziqing, "it hasn't been stamped yet."
"Then...shouldn't it be completely invalid?" Su Ziqing asked, puzzled as to why the lawyer said it wasn't completely effective.
Attorney Jin shook his head. "Miss Su, he is well aware of Mr. Su's health condition. A will cannot be prepared in a short time, so to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he added a proviso."
"What proviso?"
"Whether a will is stamped or not, it must have his personal seal to be valid." The old man did this, of course, to give Su Ziqing a sense of control.
After all, the old man knew very well that his sons were no pushovers and didn't like Su Ziqing. While he was alive, things were alright, but once he passed away, the Su family might fall into chaos.
"Where is the personal seal?" Su Ziqing asked the lawyer.
"The old man has entrusted his money to a Swiss bank." Attorney Jin handed a card to Su Ziqing, on which was simply displayed a line of numbers.
“The old man said that if something changes and he doesn’t have time to finish writing his will, you’ll understand when you see this card.” Attorney Jin looked at Su Ziqing.
However……
Su Ziqing didn't understand.
"Is this a bank card?" Does that mean she knows the PIN? Or something else?
Attorney Jin nodded; he didn't know anything else.
Looking at Su Ziqing, who was only in her early twenties, he reminded her, "Miss Su, you should be careful."
The Su family is incredibly wealthy, and even their own brothers fight tooth and nail over it, let alone someone whose status is different from that of a member of the Su family.
"I know."
…………………………
As the weather turned from rain to snow, the temperature in City A continued to drop. Su Ziqing stood on the balcony, gazing at the bustling city of City A, while news broadcasts came from the television in the living room.
"Mr. Su Shilin, the founder of the Su Group, has passed away. It is said that the Su family has decided to hold a low-key funeral..."
It was over in just a sentence or two; the next news item was about Xinji Group investing in the ecological industry of City A…
Su Ziqing unconsciously swirled the wine glass in her hand, the red liquid gently swirling, when the phone rang.
She snapped out of her reverie, walked back to the living room, put the wine glass aside, and frowned slightly when she saw the caller ID on her phone before answering.
"..." She didn't say anything.
"Your grandfather has been buried." Gong Chengjue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What did you say?" Su Ziqing gripped her phone. Her grandfather had just passed away; it couldn't have happened so soon...
“If you rush back to the countryside now, you should still be able to attend the final funeral.” Before Gong Chengjue could finish speaking, Su Ziqing grabbed her coat and rushed out of the house.
She was in City A, but she didn't even know that her grandfather had been buried.
Rushing back to the Su family home, Su Ziqing was devastated to find no one there. They had gone mad!
When she finally made it back to the countryside, she only saw the Su family coming down from the mountainside.
The Su family members, wearing white mourning scarves, walked slowly, but the scene was extremely ironic, as they buried the old man so hastily.
Su Ziqing brushed past them and went up to the ancestral cemetery halfway up the mountain, only to find that the tombs had already been sealed off...
She missed her grandfather's funeral.
The rain intensified, and Su Ziqing suddenly knelt on the ground, her knees instantly getting soaked.
He placed his hands on his knees, clenched them tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
……………………
The doorbell kept ringing. Su Ziqing woke up from her dream. She felt dizzy after returning from the countryside. After taking a shower, she went to bed and fell asleep.
She knew she had a fever, but she didn't want to go to the hospital.
The doorbell was still ringing, and Su Ziqing staggered to open the door.
Gong Chengjue stood outside the door.
"Gong Chengjue?" Upon seeing him, Su Ziqing was both surprised and seemingly expectant.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were slightly narrowed; something didn't look right.
Gong Chengjue reached out and touched her forehead...
Before she could finish her sentence, he swept her up in his arms. "You have a high fever."
The temperature should feel at least 40 degrees Celsius!
outpatient clinic
Wearing a white coat, Qin Yuheng was utterly bewildered when he saw Gong Chengjue carrying someone in. "Young Master Gong, can you please listen to my advice and stop pushing?! Do you even want your wound to heal?"
Gong Chengjue glanced at him with an icy expression. "She has a high fever."
"Huh, a woman?"
Gong Chengjue: "..."
While taking your temperature with a thermometer, Qin Yuheng kept reminding you, "If your wound reopens, I really won't be able to take care of it. Oh dear, 41 degrees Celsius, that can easily damage your brain."
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly bring down her fever." Gong Chengjue thought Qin Yuheng was really unprofessional! He felt that sending Su Ziqing here might not have been the right decision.
"It's been burning for so long anyway, there's no rush to finish it in a minute." Qin Yuheng said something irritating, but his hands were moving quickly.
Ask the nurse to bring in the fever-reducing medication and prepare the fever-reducing injection.
Su Ziqing was already delirious from the fever, and the incessant noise in her ears made her even more uncomfortable. She said impatiently, "Stop making noise."
"Oh, you've got a temper." Qin Yuheng was surprised and looked at Gong Chengjue, lowering his voice slightly.
He had never seen anyone who still had a temper in front of Gong Chengjue.
Or rather, he had never seen Gong Chengjue make anyone lose their temper in front of him.
Gong Chengjue rolled his eyes at him.
"Take the fever reducer first," Qin Yuheng said, looking at Gong Chengjue.
Gong Chengjue went forward to help Su Ziqing, but Su Ziqing didn't want to move and struggled, saying, "I feel so dizzy."
"Sweetie, you have a high fever. Take your fever reducer first." Gong Chengjue coaxed her while asking Qin Yuheng to bring the medicine.
However, Su Ziqing was completely uncooperative, saying, "I won't drink the medicine."
With a wave of his hand, he knocked the fever reducer that was in front of him to the ground.
The nurse brought the medicine again, and Gong Chengjue held her shoulder and coaxed her, "Su Ziqing, be good!"
