Chapter 1326: Misread
She had finally said it…
Huo Xuenong’s eyes flashed with panic.
But it had only been for a moment. He immediately regained his composure and frowned, then said, “Luo Jialan, you’re in a fit of anger right now, so it’s understandable that your acting impulsively and saying unpleasant things. I advise you to think twice before you speak. Don’t say something you’ll regret.”
This was a warning to Luo Jialan not to speak carelessly.
However, Gu Nianzhi would n’t give Luo Jialan the chance to weigh the pros and cons.
She scoffed and stuffed her hands into her pockets. She looked askance at Luo Jialan and clicked her tongue. “Tsk, you still haven’t given up on the opportunity to drag Grandfather Huo into this mess? Grandfather Huo already said that you have to think twice before you act. Aren’t you digging your own grave by picking a fight with Grandfather Huo?”
This round of perfect embellishment and sowing discord made Luo Jialan, who had already lost her mind, even angrier.
Her entire body was trembling. Her eyes were bloodshot and her cheeks were abnormally red. She glared at Huo Xuenong’s uneasy expression and sneered. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want me to tell you my father’s will?”
She turned to look at Gu Nianzhi with a look of desperation on her face. “I want to see Major General Huo. I have something important to tell him! ”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and raised her hand to look at her plump fingernails, then said slowly, “Major General Huo is extremely busy. How would he have the time to see you? If you have something to say, say it now. What’s so difficult about it?”
She hinted to Luo Jialan, “Your lawyer is here, and so is Grandfather Xie. None of them are easy to deal with.”
Xie Shenxing: ” … ”
She didn’t want to be compared to something c.u.mbersome!
Even if it were true…
Cai Shengnan sighed beside her. She didn’t want to offend Huo Xuenong.
She walked over and tugged at Luo Jialan’s clothes, then said in a low voice, “Jialan, you’re too emotional today. Stop talking. Let’s go back and have a proper discussion, okay?”
She could tell that Luo Jialan had fallen into Gu Nianzhi’s trap. She was revealing more and more of her trump cards.
What chance did they have?
Luo Jialan turned to look at her. “lawyer Cai, I have to say in my defence. I really lent that money to Yamaguchi Aiko! ”
Cai Shengnan thought to himself, what could I do if you couldn’t provide proof of Yamaguchi Aiko?
She only looked at Luo Jialan with a smile.
Luo Jialan was very disappointed with Cai Shengnan. She looked at Gu Nianzhi again and said, “I still want to see Major General Huo! ”
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and said, “It’s true that Major General Huo couldn’t come. do you have any reason why you have to see him? If your reason is good enough, I’ll help you figure it out. ”
Luo Jialan immediately said, “It’s about my father, Huo Guanyuan’s will. If Major General Huo doesn’t see me, it’ll be a huge loss to him. ”
She threw caution to the wind now. If Huo Xuenong wasn’t willing to help her, she was going to end up in prison for life. What was the point of having so much money?
At this time, if she could use that money to buy a life, she wouldn’t hesitate.
Gu Nianzhi pretended to be deep in thought and said, ” …How great loss it would be?”
“If Major General Huo is willing to meet me, I can transfer all the trust fund my father left behind to him.” Luo Jialan said in a low voice.
Huo Xuenong’s face contorted with anger
How dare Luo Jialan turn against him?
“Luo Jialan! What right do you have to deal with the inheritance left by my son? Do you really think you you’re ent.i.tled to my son’s inheritance?!” Huo Xuenong sneered. “Don’t forget that the half of my son’s inheritance is mine! ”
Huo Xuenong didn’t want to use this trick unless it was absolutely necessary.
He had endured for 17 years and never mentioned this matter, but now he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
If he didn’t say it now to stop the b*tch, Luo Jialan’s nonsense, his other son would never get the trust fund.
Luo Jialan suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Xuenong, “What did you say?! That’s not what you said earlier!”
“I didn’t say anything before! ” Huo Xuenong interrupted her with a cold expression. “My son’s will didn’t mention the distribution of property, so according to the inheritance law, both you and I have the right to inherit my son’s inheritance! ”
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile, she agreed. “Mr. Huo is right. If there’s no will, or if the will doesn’t mention the inheritance of property, then according to the inheritance law, the spouse, children, and parents are the first in line to inherit. However, Mr. Huo won’t get half of Uncle Huo’s inheritance. ”
Since according to this order, after Huo Guanyuan’s death, Luo Xinxue, Luo Jialan, and Huo Xuenong could split his inheritance equally.
Luo Jialan could also inherit the portion of the inheritance left by Luo Xinxue, so Luo Jialan could inherit two-thirds while Huo Xuenong could only inherit one-third at most, less than half.
Huo Xuenong’s face turned red.
He had forgotten about Luo Xinxue.
He pull a long face and said coldly, “One-third is still fine. In short, Luo Jialan, you have to give up the portion that belongs to me. All these years of princ.i.p.al income, not a single cent less! I felt sorry for you so didn’t mention that, but I haven’t expect you are further intensified, even looking down upon me! ”
Luo Jialan was extremely disappointed with Huo Xuenong. She sneered and said, “One-third? You’re willing to give me two-thirds now? ”
He had actually told her that her father’s will not leave the trust fund to her.
Liar! They’re all liars!
Huo Xuenong was speechless. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, he insisted that there was no mention of property distribution on Huo Guangyuan’s will.
Luo Jialan realized that Huo Xuenong did not dare to take out his will, so she was even more confident, she shook her head. “I don’t believe it. My father’s will must have been written to my mother. Why did you hide it from us? And I don’t believe that my father would not make any arrangements for such a huge trust fund. ”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Ms Luo is right. Uncle Huo doesn’t seem like someone who doesn’t get his way. ”
Luo Jialan insisted on seeing Huo Shaoheng again, and promised that she wouldn’t let them down.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and said, “Major General Huo really can’t come to see you right now. But I’ll connect you to his face time, and then you can talk to him, okay? ”
Actually, Huo Shaoheng was in the corridor outside the ward, with the other members of the special forces.
Huo Shaoheng heard Gu Nianzhi’s words through his bluetooth headset and took out his phone.
Face time was still on.
Huo Shaoheng’s handsome and solemn face appeared on the screen of his phone. The light was a little dim that she couldn’t see his surroundings, but huo Shaoheng’s face was as bright as light. He was so handsome that she couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Luo Jialan looked as if she had seen her savior, she immediately said, “Major General Huo! I want to tell you that Yamaguchi Aiko did everything. She’s not dead. “Also, Mr. Huo has my father’s will. Mr. Huo once made an agreement with me that if I transfer half of the trust fund to his other grandson, Zhang Wenjie, he would let me marry you! ”
Huo Shaoheng didn’t think much of it. “How can I believe that? In this day and age, parents can’t arrange marriages, let alone grandparents. Luo Jialan, if you want to make up a lie, you have to make it logical. ”
Luo Jialan’s face flushed red.
How did she know that Huo Shaoheng didn’t care about Huo Xuenong at all? !
At her level, all she saw and heard was that parents had absolute control over their children’s marriages.
Yes, marriage was indeed free now. No one could force another person to marry.
But for people in their cla.s.s, if they didn’t listen to their parents, they would lose too much. Almost no one could resist this temptation.
So even if they didn’t love each other, even if they played their own games after marriage, they would obediently follow their parents’ arrangements and marry.
The gap between the upper cla.s.s and lower cla.s.s couldn’t be overstepped through marriage.
This was also why Luo Jialan didn’t understand Huo Shaoheng.
She thought that no matter how much Huo Shaoheng liked Gu Nianzhi, he would at most let her become his mistress for the rest of his life and wouldn’t marry her.
The only people who could marry him were those in their social circle.
She had misjudged Huo Shaoheng and Huo Xuenong.
Gu Nianzhi hated to hear Luo Jialan say things like that, so she retorted without hesitation, “Luo Jialan, I think you’re really full of lies. How many lies have you told today? It’s already over the limit!”
Huo Xuenong quickly said, “Yes, she’s lying! There’s no such thing. Why would I do that? Besides, Nianzhi’s engaged to Shaoheng…”
“It was because the whole world knew about Major General Huo and Gu Nianzhi’s engagement that you laid your cards on the table!” Luo Jialan angrily rebuked Huo Xuenong, then said out loud, “You said that according to my father’s will, the entire trust fund was left to Major General Huo! There wasn’t a single cent for me!”
How else could she have been tempted to covet him and the inheritance?!
The ward suddenly became quiet.
Everyone’s expressions were frozen in time, like sculptures.
