"Old Zhou isn't here right now. If he were here, I'd like to ask him, how could he have the right to leave three children with nothing?"
Lawyer Lin said, "I fully understand how you feel right now, but since we've accepted the commission, naturally everything will be based on Mr. Zhou Benyu's will. There's one thing I think Ms. Jia should distinguish."
"Mr. Zhou Benyu made this decision because of historical issues. Mr. Zhou Su, his eldest son, suffered unfair treatment since childhood. He now wants to rectify the situation and make amends to his eldest son. This is human nature."
"Everything is within the legal scope. There is no claim that it is against the rules or against human ethics."
"After all, since all children enjoy equal rights, Mr. Zhou Su could receive decades of compensation. Now, it's not impossible for Mr. Zhou Benyu to use everything he has left to compensate Mr. Zhou Benyu. If you still have questions after this, you can also file a lawsuit in court."
Jia Lizhen doesn't have that much time, otherwise she would definitely fight the lawsuit to death.
But she was running out of time, so she would do whatever she could to get for her children. She asked, "Does it have to go to court?"
"What has been shown so far shows that we have made no mistakes. If you have any questions or disagree with the arrangements, you can file a lawsuit in court and let the court make the decision."
"I also want to remind you that I think the chances of success are slim if we do this."
Lawyer Lin is already the ace lawyer in Kyoto. If even she stands on Zhou Su's side, it will be difficult for Jia Lizhen to win the lawsuit.
Zhou Hui was so angry that her brows twisted!
Jia Lizhen's brows turned cold. "Don't think that Zhou Benyu is the only one who owns this family. I also have a share in this family. He wanted to take all of this family into his own hands with just one will. Did he ask for my consent?"
This is indeed a problem, because when Zhou Benyu made his will, Jia Lizhen had already been sentenced to death, and there was not much time left before she was shot.
So the consideration at that time was that since Jia Lizhen was already dead, the remaining property would naturally belong to Zhou Benyu.
The only big change was that Zhou Benyu actually passed away before Jia Lizhen.
Now that Jia Lizhen is making trouble, she actually has a legitimate reason.
"How can you explain this to me?"
Jia Lizhen exudes aura!
Lawyer Lin had no choice but to say, "When the will was made, Ms. Jia's judgment had already come out. According to the judgment, Ms. Jia had no right to distribute the property."
Jia Lizhen sneered: "Am I dead now?"
Her cold eyes saw through everyone like a snake, and then she stopped her gaze on Lawyer Lin and asked, "So now, do you think the heroine's will is valid?"
Lawyer Lin hesitated!
Chi Lanlan couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. The Civil Code was not introduced until later, and the distribution rights of this kind of inheritance were not yet so perfect at that time. Therefore, in this regard, Lawyer Lin's answer might not be so confident.
She snorted and said, "Grandpa's property clearly has a designated heir, which is legal and compliant. The others are not short of labor, so they have no right to question the validity of the will."
When she said this, Lawyer Lin's brow relaxed slightly.
Yes, the law has not yet clearly stipulated this point, but the point raised by Chi Lanlan is indeed very effective. The law is nothing more than human feelings. If those who do not have the right of inheritance have physical defects, adjustments can be made at the discretion of the court, but Zhou Hui and her two siblings are obviously not within this scope.
They have enjoyed themselves for decades, and they have been enjoying themselves at the expense of others' suffering. They must all atone for their past sins. Although as a lawyer, he cannot say such words, he has already made such a decision in his heart.
Lawyer Lin said, "A will should reserve a necessary share of the estate for heirs who are unable to work and have no source of income. However, none of Zhou Benyu's heirs are without a source of income or have any disabilities, so the will is valid."
Jia Lizhen said angrily: "I'm not telling you this now. I'm telling you that I'm still alive and I have a share of the family property. The old man has no right to arrange my share."
I'm angry, and now the old guy is shouting.
This is indeed a difficult problem, and Lawyer Lin feels exhausted.
Everything was fine at that time, but who knew there would be so many variables and Zhou Benyu passed away.
Chi Lanlan said: "As the legal spouse, the old lady should be the first legal heir, but the will has clearly excluded her inheritance rights. Firstly, she violated the laws of the country and is a traitor who betrayed the country and the people."
"She's been sentenced to death, which means she doesn't even deserve the basic rights of a human being. How can she possibly have the share of the family my grandfather gave her? She ruined my grandfather's reputation and caused him to forgo even the highest-level state funeral. How dare you dare to ask for your share?"
"Also, let's go back a bit. How did you get the Zhou family's mistress? It's because you used all sorts of tricks. You framed my grandmother. This right is truly unfair and unjust. It was obtained through illegal means. How can you have the nerve to say you can get this inheritance right?"
This sentence pressed Jia Lizhen's face to the ground, both in public and in private.
Chi Lanlan looked at Lawyer Lin and said, "I remember that only economic crimes would not affect inheritance rights. People like her, who sent people to hunt down Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Zhiyan, framed my grandmother Song Lingshu, and killed them all, no longer have any inheritance rights in this family. Although my grandfather is old, he is not confused, so he wisely left such a will in the beginning. I believe my grandfather made this decision after careful consideration."
Lawyer Lin was shocked.
Although he is a lawyer, he is not very familiar with the internal affairs of the Zhou family. According to laws and regulations, Jia Lizhen's words just now can be used to find loopholes.
But Chi Lanlan simply pinned Jia Lizhen to the ground with just one sentence. Now, let alone Jia Lizhen's inheritance rights, if things go back further, she and her three children will have to pay the corresponding price and repay Song Lingshu and Zhou Su.
Jia Lizhen refused to accept the argument. Although her face was pale, she fought hard. "I don't care what you say. Zhou Hui and her two siblings are Zhou Benyu's biological children. They are legally recognized children of the Zhou family. There is absolutely no way they don't have inheritance rights."
Zhou Jingyun carefully poured a glass of water for Chi Lanlan and brought it to her lips: "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
