"Lawyer Fang, is there anything I can help you with?" She met with this lawyer on the day the will was announced, and they had no contact since then.
The lawyer's voice on the phone was a little hoarse, as if he had been woken up from his sleep.
"I heard the house you rented was burned down."
"How do you know?" If it weren't for the rule of law in today's society, she would almost suspect that there was something else behind the fire.
"The Internet spreads information very quickly." The lawyer chuckled.
He stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "Actually, among the inheritance that Mr. Lin left you, there's a commercial apartment that hasn't been renovated yet."
"Reserved a room?!" Pei Zhiyu was surprised.
Lawyer Fang heard the doubt in her tone and asked, "Didn't you read the will carefully at the time?"
At that time, the Pei family was arguing in the funeral home, insisting that the will was fake.
Pei Zhiyu was still reeling from the news of her fiancé's infidelity, so she had no time to think about the contents of the inheritance.
"In addition to this house, there is also a sum of cash and shares of Lin's. Oh yes, the property certificate of your father's villa is also included." As he said, he turned on the computer and sent the encrypted file out.
"I've sent you the electronic version. You can take a closer look when you have time."
Pei Zhiyu looked at the contents of the will and couldn't believe it...
When she was little, the old man hadn't liked this granddaughter much because of Pei's father's bad behavior. He ignored her for a few years, but only made an exception and took her away after seeing her being badly bullied by her stepmother.
In the eyes of others, Pei Zhiyu is the pampered daughter of a wealthy family and the only child of the Lin family.
In fact, the old man took her out of the Pei family and then threw her into the nanny's home to be raised.
Compared with her life in the Pei family, she could at least have enough food to eat and wear clean and warm clothes with the nanny. Moreover, the old man helped her transfer to the best private middle school in Jiangzhou. Pei Zhiyu was very content.
But the good times didn't last long. When she was in high school, her nanny was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, and it was in the late stage.
When Pei Zhiyu received the news, she had just finished school and was trapped in the classroom by the heavy rain, having difficulty moving. She tried to ask her family for help but failed, and was ready to get wet in the rain.
Just as she took two steps, she felt a force on her back and someone grabbed her schoolbag and pulled her back to the classroom.
Pei Zhiyu turned around and was caught off guard by a close encounter with the black umbrella.
The boy's white school uniform shirt was wet by the rain on her body, but he didn't seem to care and just kept stuffing the umbrella into his arms.
"Lend it to you."
After saying this, he turned and walked away.
There was no mention of why the loan was borrowed or how it was to be repaid.
Thinking about the nanny who was in the hospital and had no one to take care of her, Pei Zhiyu had no time to care about anything else.
She ran into the rain with an umbrella, not noticing Qin Hezhou hiding in the corner.
After her mother passed away, the nanny was the person who treated Pei Zhiyu the best. After living with her for a few years, she also regarded the nanny as her adoptive mother.
The doctor told her that there was a cancer expert named Zhou from another province. If they could hire him, perhaps the nanny could live a few more years. Upon hearing this, Pei Zhiyu's first reaction was to ask her grandfather for help. After all, the Lin family was a powerful family, so they would definitely be able to find a solution.
But the old man refused to see her and stopped Pei Zhiyu outside the ancestral home. No matter how she cried and begged, she received no response.
The ending, of course, is that the nanny dies of illness, and Pei Zhiyu is heartbroken. She no longer has any expectations for this family.
After going to college, she stopped accepting help from the Lin family and started her own business. She only returned here when Mr. Lin was critically ill.
Pei Zhiyu was very surprised to learn that his grandfather had left all the inheritance to him.
Like the three members of the Pei family, she was full of doubts about the will and even wanted to have it authenticated.
After all, Grandpa never liked her.
Now seeing the specific details of the inheritance, she felt a moment of hesitation in her heart.
Pei Zhiyu was a little tired and asked, "So, you want to give me a house?"
"That's right," the lawyer admitted.
"Isn't it a year before the inheritance can be received?"
The lawyer seemed to have guessed she would ask this, and quickly replied, "Not entirely. The house was supposed to be given in advance."
"Oh, it really is timely relief." Pei Zhiyu smiled with an ambiguous meaning.
"It's a coincidence."
She was a little sleepy and didn't want to beat around the bush. "Just give it directly, or with conditions, like asking me to give birth to a child or something like that?"
Given the precedent of letting her get married for a year, it didn't seem so unbelievable to ask her to have a child to carry on the family line.
The lawyer was choked by her words and said no with an awkward smile.
"It's getting late now, so let's arrange a time to discuss the specific terms. Oh, and you need to bring your husband along."
"Got it." After saying that, she hung up the phone neatly.
Hearing the "beep, beep, beep" sound, the lawyer smiled helplessly and thought to himself: Rich people are hard to please.
There are not so many coincidences in this world. Originally, I was supposed to wait a few more months before getting this house.
Who would have thought that the old lady of the Qin family would suddenly wake him up with a phone call, ordering him to call Pei Zhiyu immediately to discuss the house matter, and even added several new conditions...
He also couldn't understand why the Qin family got involved.
At that time, Pei Zhiyu was also worried.
Want to bring Qin Hezhou? That's why things got so unpleasant, I don't know how to start the conversation.
Looking at the blurry figure in the bathroom, she thought that if this person didn't come out, his skin would probably peel off.
Why am I angry... I can't figure it out.
"Buzz", the phone vibrated twice.
The screen showed a message from Zhong Yue. Pei Zhiyu simply lay down in bed and told his friend everything he had experienced that day.
Zhong Yue: [Conditions? Perhaps they want to verify your relationship as husband and wife in advance.]
Pei Zhiyu: [How do I verify this? ]
Zhong Yue: [The simplest method is observation. However, since you two are not sure at first glance, I advise you to make some preparations first.]
Pei Zhiyu: [One look is fake?]
Zhong Yue: [That’s right, they don’t look like a couple at all.]
Pei Zhiyu: [……]
She fell into deep thought for a long time before replying to Zhong Yue: [Then, what should a husband and wife be like?]
After sending this message, Pei Zhiyu didn't receive a reply for a long time. She was too tired and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Qin Hezhou came out of the bathroom, he saw Pei Zhiyu lying on the bed with her cell phone in her arms, sleeping. The quilt was not even covered, revealing her white arms and calves.
Fortunately, the heating is strong enough, otherwise I would definitely catch a cold.
Although he still felt awkward in his heart, his body was honest and he subconsciously walked over to cover her with the quilt.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, Qin Hezhou couldn't help but sigh. Then the person on the bed stopped breathing for a moment, and he also held his breath, anxiously waiting for the next step.
Pei Zhiyu was confused, half awake, and saw Qin Hezhou standing by the bed. He reached out his hand from under the quilt and patted the other side of the bed.
Two "pop" sounds.
She said, "Go to bed quickly, I'm so sleepy."
