Chapter 575: Dividing the Relics
Xie Yansheng had long guessed that he would be so shameless, and glanced at him slowly.
"Then let's not divide it. I'll find a professional maintenance team to move into the old house and help take care of the old man's treasures."
"Just listen to my eldest brother!" Xie Yu knew the situation very well and immediately gave in.
He had already transferred the inheritance that the second house deserved to himself. The old man had saved a pension fund for Han Pei before his death. Even if Han Pei got the old man's inheritance, he would subsidize him.
Although Jian Ning and he were born of the same parents, he had a son to support, so he would not give away the money and things he got.
But now it is obvious that Xie Yansheng is on Jian Ning's side. He has no choice but to compromise, otherwise he will get nothing!
Xie Yansheng is a man of action. He immediately asked Li Duan to contact a law firm and a notary office, and also hired a professional team to register Mr. Xie's antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Mr. Xie dominated the business world for decades, but finally lost his business to Xie Yansheng. He collected a lot of old items during his lifetime, including more than 40 paintings and calligraphy, and all kinds of porcelain ornaments filled the four walls of the study.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when the inventory was completed.
After Han Pei was sent to the hospital, she was out of danger soon. In order to be fair, Xie Yansheng called Jian Ning and asked her to return to the old house.
When Jian Ning saw the inheritance division agreement drafted by the lawyer, she was uncontrollably excited.
All the calligraphy and antiques of the old man were divided into two parts according to the market valuation, and the part for the second room was further divided into three parts. Xie Yu had already selected the one he thought was the most valuable, and now Jian Ning needed to choose one of the remaining two parts.
She was originally cold-tempered, and after experiencing an accident, she looked down on many things.
In Xue Cuiyuan, sibling affection is not as important as money!
She was already very grateful that Mr. Xie transferred two houses to her before his death, and she didn't dare to expect to get more benefits from her two brothers.
She knew that it was Xie Yansheng who was helping her, and she looked at Xie Yansheng with gratitude, "I don't care, let my mother choose first."
"You are Aunt Pei's daughter, she will definitely understand you. While the notary and the lawyer are here, choose one immediately to do the property notarization." Xie Yansheng refused and glanced at her in an imperative tone.
She didn't dare to neglect it, and pointed casually at the agreement, "I won't let my eldest brother and second brother down, take this one."
"Notarize it immediately." Xie Yansheng made the decision as soon as Jian Ning finished speaking.
It was past midnight after filing, notarization, and completing all the legal procedures.
Xie Yu was the first to leave the old house. After he left, Xie Jianning expressed his gratitude to Xie Yansheng and Wen Lan.
Wen Lan shook his head, "If you want to thank someone, thank your elder brother. He has been protecting you."
"There is nothing to thank! We are all the old man's children. I just got what Jian Ning deserved." Xie Yansheng's handsome face was still tense, "If I don't keep a closer eye on him, Jian Ning's share will most likely be taken away by A Yu."
"That's true. Even if I have two brains, I can't outsmart my mother and A Yu. Fortunately, my elder brother blocked all the loopholes they could exploit." Jian Ning murmured sadly.
"You've been tired for a few days. Go back and have a good rest." Xie Yansheng didn't like to hear people flattering him in person, so he ordered him to leave.
Jian Ning drove away from the old house.
Xie Yansheng chatted with Uncle Zhong for a while before returning to Yunshen City with Wen Lan.
From the death of the old man to the funeral, it took a whole week. He and Wen Lan had to deal with relatives and friends who came to mourn during the day, and they had to keep vigil. They could only barely get a good night's sleep every day, and they were now extremely exhausted.
After Han Pei escaped, Nuan Nuan and Xie Beiheng returned to Shangjing, and Xie Nanchen went to Gangcheng to meet Nan Chuji. The huge Yunshencheng villa was empty.
Wen Lan was so sleepy that she yawned while taking a shower. She lay down on the bed without even blowing her hair after coming out of the bathroom.
Xie Yansheng opened his laptop and dealt with the urgent official business that had been accumulated in the past few days.
It was already 2:30 in the morning when he lay down beside Wen Lan.
The second half of the night passed in their deep sleep.
The next day, Wen Lan woke up at 11 o'clock in the morning, and Xie Yansheng beside her had long disappeared.
When she turned on her phone, she found that Xie Yansheng had left a message for her on WeChat, saying that he was going to the old house to meet several relatives and elders.
Wen Lan lay lazily on the bed and looked at her phone.
Turning off the wall lamp and pulling open half of the curtains, the winter sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which was very comfortable.
She checked the calendar on her phone. It was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there were only two weeks left until the Chinese New Year.
Xie Yansheng wanted to finish his work early this year, so it seemed that they would be busy again when they returned to Shangjing.
Zhou Qiao called her to invite her to have barbecue, but she refused, saying that she had to go back to Shangjing in the afternoon and she needed to catch up on some sleep.
Zhou Qiaogang sighed in melancholy, then laughed again, "Are you and Lao Jiang really going to be in-laws?"
"No." Wen Lan refused, "Jiang Guan is much older than Nuan Nuan, and Xie Yansheng and I will not agree."
"Lao Jiang gave the gift to Mr. Xie according to the etiquette of in-laws!" Zhou Qiao asked, "Such a big thing, didn't you and Xie Yansheng agree?"
"Twenty years ago, there was a Jiang Jingci, and twenty years later, there is another Jiang Guan. I get a headache when I hear these two Jiangs." Wen Lan's words were full of disgust, "Don't mention these two in front of me in the future."
"It turns out that it's the wishful thinking of the Jiang family again." Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment, "I asked Nuan Nuan the day before yesterday, and she said that she had reunited with-broken mirror."
Zhou Qiao perfectly avoided the name that Wen Lan hated.
"This is exactly what makes me angry. If I force Nuannuan too hard, it will definitely be the same as three years ago. If I leave it alone and watch her and Jiang Guan together, I will even want to die." Wen Lan closed her eyes angrily, "In the past two years, I feel that raising a daughter is not as worry-free as raising a son."
"No matter whether it is a daughter or a son, if you want to save worry, just be a DINK." Zhou Qiao comforted her, "Actually, it's nothing if you think about it. Isn't it just dating an older boyfriend! The Jiang family has considerable assets in Australia in recent years. From the perspective of economic strength alone, it is a good match for you. There are many scheming boys now. If Nuannuan meets a Phoenix man of the same age who is a gigolo, it would be better-"
At the critical moment, Zhou Qiao hid Jiang Guan's name again.
Wen Lan sighed helplessly, "Xie Yansheng and I have always favored Duan Qianxun from Duan Wenzheng's family. He and Nuannuan are childhood sweethearts. Before meeting Jiang Guan, we all thought that Nuannuan and Duan Qianxun would go on as their parents expected, but unfortunately-"
"Don't force things in the relationship. We are all experienced people. We should understand the children's hearts and respect their feelings." Zhou Qiao advised slowly.
Wen Lan felt mixed emotions and slowly spoke out the heartfelt words suppressed in his heart: "Qiaoqiao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In fact, what I care about is not the 14-year age difference between Jiang Guan and Nuannuan, but the fact that he is Jiang Jingci's son."
