Chapter 1326 - Misread
Hello, Mr. Major General
She had finally said it...
Huo Xuenongâs eyes flashed with panic.
But it had only been for a moment. He immediately regained his composure and frowned, then said, âLuo Jialan, youâre in a fit of anger right now, so itâs understandable that your acting impulsively and saying unpleasant things. I advise you to think twice before you speak. Donât say something youâll regret.â
This was a warning to Luo Jialan not to speak carelessly.
However, Gu Nianzhi would nât 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. âTsk, you still havenât 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. Arenât you digging your own grave by picking a fight with Grandfather Huo?â
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 Xuenongâs uneasy expression and sneered. âWhatâs wrong? Donât you want me to tell you my fatherâs will?â
She turned to look at Gu Nianzhi with a look of desperation on her face. âI want to see Major General Huo. I have something important to tell him! â
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and raised her hand to look at her plump fingernails, then said slowly, âMajor General Huo is extremely busy. How would he have the time to see you? If you have something to say, say it now. Whatâs so difficult about it?â
She hinted to Luo Jialan, âYour lawyer is here, and so is Grandfather Xie. None of them are easy to deal with.â
Xie Shenxing: â ... â
She didnât want to be compared to something cumbersome!
Even if it were true...
Cai Shengnan sighed beside her. She didnât want to offend Huo Xuenong.
She walked over and tugged at Luo Jialanâs clothes, then said in a low voice, âJialan, youâre too emotional today. Stop talking. Letâs go back and have a proper discussion, okay?â
She could tell that Luo Jialan had fallen into Gu Nianzhiâs trap. She was revealing more and more of her trump cards.
What chance did they have?
Luo Jialan turned to look at her. âlawyer Cai, I have to say in my defence. I really lent that money to Yamaguchi Aiko! â
Cai Shengnan thought to himself, what could I do if you couldnât 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, âI still want to see Major General Huo! â
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and said, âItâs true that Major General Huo couldnât come. do you have any reason why you have to see him? If your reason is good enough, Iâll help you figure it out. â
Luo Jialan immediately said, âItâs about my father, Huo Guanyuanâs will. If Major General Huo doesnât see me, itâll be a huge loss to him. â
She threw caution to the wind now. If Huo Xuenong wasnât 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 wouldnât hesitate.
Gu Nianzhi pretended to be deep in thought and said, â ...How great loss it would be?â
âIf Major General Huo is willing to meet me, I can transfer all the trust fund my father left behind to him.â Luo Jialan said in a low voice.
Huo Xuenongâs face contorted with anger
How dare Luo Jialan turn against him?
âLuo Jialan! What right do you have to deal with the inheritance left by my son? Do you really think you youâre entitled to my sonâs inheritance?!â Huo Xuenong sneered. âDonât forget that the half of my sonâs inheritance is mine! â
Huo Xuenong didnât want to use this trick unless it was absolutely necessary.
He had endured for 17 years and never mentioned this matter, but now he couldnât hold it in anymore.
If he didnât say it now to stop the b*tch, Luo Jialanâs nonsense, his other son would never get the trust fund.
Luo Jialan suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Xuenong, âWhat did you say?! Thatâs not what you said earlier!â
âI didnât say anything before! â Huo Xuenong interrupted her with a cold expression. âMy sonâs will didnât mention the distribution of property, so according to the inheritance law, both you and I have the right to inherit my sonâs inheritance! â
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile, she agreed. âMr. Huo is right. If thereâs no will, or if the will doesnât 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 wonât get half of Uncle Huoâs inheritance. â
Since according to this order, after Huo Guanyuanâs 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 Xuenongâs face turned red.
He had forgotten about Luo Xinxue.
He pull a long face and said coldly, âOne-third is still fine. In short, Luo Jialan, you have to give up the portion that belongs to me. All these years of principal income, not a single cent less! I felt sorry for you so didnât mention that, but I havenât expect you are further intensified, even looking down upon me! â
Luo Jialan was extremely disappointed with Huo Xuenong. She sneered and said, âOne-third? Youâre willing to give me two-thirds now? â
He had actually told her that her fatherâs will not leave the trust fund to her.
Liar! Theyâre all liars!
Huo Xuenong was speechless. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, he insisted that there was no mention of property distribution on Huo Guangyuanâs 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. âI donât believe it. My fatherâs will must have been written to my mother. Why did you hide it from us? And I donât believe that my father would not make any arrangements for such a huge trust fund. â
Gu Nianzhi nodded. âMs Luo is right. Uncle Huo doesnât seem like someone who doesnât get his way. â
Luo Jialan insisted on seeing Huo Shaoheng again, and promised that she wouldnât let them down.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and said, âMajor General Huo really canât come to see you right now. But Iâll connect you to his face time, and then you can talk to him, okay? â
Actually, Huo Shaoheng was in the corridor outside the ward, with the other members of the special forces.
Huo Shaoheng heard Gu Nianzhiâs words through his bluetooth headset and took out his phone.
Face time was still on.
Huo Shaohengâs handsome and solemn face appeared on the screen of his phone. The light was a little dim that she couldnât see his surroundings, but huo Shaohengâs face was as bright as light. He was so handsome that she couldnât take their eyes off him.
Luo Jialan looked as if she had seen her savior, she immediately said, âMajor General Huo! I want to tell you that Yamaguchi Aiko did everything. Sheâs not dead. âAlso, Mr. Huo has my fatherâs 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! â
Huo Shaoheng didnât think much of it. âHow can I believe that? In this day and age, parents canât arrange marriages, let alone grandparents. Luo Jialan, if you want to make up a lie, you have to make it logical. â
Luo Jialanâs face flushed red.
How did she know that Huo Shaoheng didnât care about Huo Xuenong at all? !
At her level, all she saw and heard was that parents had absolute control over their childrenâs marriages.
Yes, marriage was indeed free now. No one could force another person to marry.
But for people in their class, if they didnât listen to their parents, they would lose too much. Almost no one could resist this temptation.
So even if they didnât love each other, even if they played their own games after marriage, they would obediently follow their parentsâ arrangements and marry.
The gap between the upper class and lower class couldnât be overstepped through marriage.
This was also why Luo Jialan didnât 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 wouldnât 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, âLuo Jialan, I think youâre really full of lies. How many lies have you told today? Itâs already over the limit!â
Huo Xuenong quickly said, âYes, sheâs lying! Thereâs no such thing. Why would I do that? Besides, Nianzhiâs engaged to Shaoheng...â
âIt was because the whole world knew about Major General Huo and Gu Nianzhiâs engagement that you laid your cards on the table!â Luo Jialan angrily rebuked Huo Xuenong, then said out loud, âYou said that according to my fatherâs will, the entire trust fund was left to Major General Huo! There wasnât a single cent for me!â
How else could she have been tempted to covet him and the inheritance?!
The ward suddenly became quiet.
Everyoneâs expressions were frozen in time, like sculptures.
