CIATB Chapter 452 Property Distribution
Chapter 452 Property Distribution
Xia Haoyang's sudden departure after staying on the crew for more than half a month was not Xia Haoyang's own plan. He originally planned to not leave until the filming of the script was completed.
Because something happened that Xia Haoyang had to face in person: his nominal grandmother, the old woman of the Yu family, died of illness.
During this year's Spring Festival, Zeng Jingyi went to Yu's house to celebrate the New Year as Xia Haoyang's girlfriend. She secretly received her marriage certificate a while ago, so Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi returned to Wenzhou together.
In the past two years, the country has been vigorously promoting simplified weddings and funerals, prohibiting or discouraging grand arrangements. However, as the influential families in Wen City, the Xia family and the Yu family's funerals, no matter how simplified they are, will definitely alarm many local people. Relevant families and businesses also include local government leaders, such as mayors and municipal party committee secretaries.
Old Mrs. Yu married Xia Yimeng's father as a second marriage. Although she had no biological flesh and blood of her own, and later returned to the Yu family for decades and held power in the Yu family, she did not remarry.
Therefore, according to etiquette and law, Mrs. Yu belongs to the Xia family and is included in the Xia family tree. She should be buried in the Xia family's ancestral grave. The Xia family will bear all the funeral expenses.
Although the head of the Yu family, Yu Zhaolong, did not agree with this approach, he wanted to bury his aunt in the Yu family's ancestral grave, but the etiquette was indeed against the rules. After discussing with Xia Yimeng, Yu Zhaolong would let Yu Zhaolong arrange some of the cremated ashes himself.
The funeral hall was chosen to be held in the Yu family. This was what Yu Zhaolong had always insisted on, but Xia Yimeng's family could operate various rituals as the masters.
On April 4, Grain Rain, with drizzle falling in the sky, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi rushed to Yujia in Wen City.
"Mr. Xia, you're here at the right time. Everyone is here. The lawyer will announce the will of the old lady Yu later." The person in charge of entertaining the Yu family recognized Xia Haoyang who walked in.
Xia Haoyang nodded, and with a serious look on his face, he took Zeng Jingyi's hand and walked towards the room where the will was announced.
Basically, everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived. Xia Haoyang was the last to arrive, but it was within the agreed time limit.
It was a surprise to everyone that he took Zeng Jingyi's hand and came to the room with a heavy atmosphere, because except for Xia's mother and sister-in-law, no one present knew about receiving the certificate. For example, Sun Na, the second sister-in-law-to-be, was not present.
But no one said anything, they just glanced at Xia Haoyang and gave up.
Xia Haoyang randomly found a seat and sat down. Mother Xia waved her hand, and Zeng Jingyi sat next to Mother Xia.
The people currently in the room are basically the Xia family, as well as Yu Zhaolong and two distant cousins; the small number of people is the biggest problem for several families in Wen City today, two hundred years later.
In Grandpa Yu Zhaolong's generation, the Yu family has only one sister. The two brothers and sisters rely on each other, and they are now Mrs. Yu. In his father's generation, he was an only child, and then the plane crashed. Now he is the only one in Yu Zhaolong's generation, and he is not married yet. wife.
So before she died, Mrs. Yu's only regret was that she had not yet seen Zhao Long marry and have children.
One sentence made Yu Zhaolong break his guard and regretted that he had only been focusing on doing things for these years and did not think about starting a family.
The man didn't shed tears easily, but he didn't feel sad yet. Yu Zhaolong waited for Old Lady Yu in the room alone for an hour before expressing his condolences.
The lawyer of the Yu family walked in and glanced at Yu Zhaolong and Xia Yimeng. Both parties nodded, and then the lawyer began to announce the will.
The first part is about the old woman's own funeral; in her will, the old woman hoped that the ashes should be divided into two parts, one part buried in the Xia family's ancestral grave, and the other part buried under a locust tree in the old yard of Yu's hometown. The tree in the old yard was planted by Mrs. Yu herself when she was a child.
Yu Zhaolong and Xia Yimeng looked at each other and nodded. Then Yu Zhaolong said in a hoarse voice: "I also want a copy, and it will be placed in the lobby of the Yu family today. Next to my grandfather's ashes."
Xia Yimeng didn't speak, but nodded again.
The second part is about property distribution: there is no suspense. All the shares, real estate, bonds, etc. held by the Yu family companies will be inherited by Yu Zhaolong.
Xia Yimeng nodded without any hesitation to express his approval.
However, Xia Yimeng inherited the shares of Xia's enterprise, two properties, and some related assets that Mrs. Yu received when she married into the Xia family.
Yu Zhaolong also nodded without any objection.
Some of Mrs. Yu’s jades and jewelry were inherited by Xia’s mother, Xie Xinyi, and she also founded a charity foundation and chose her daughter-in-law as her successor. Mrs. Yu founded several brands when she was young, among which most of them are Most of it was left to Yu Zhaolong and included in Yu's assets, but a children's clothing brand company was also left to Xie Xinyi.
Xia Yimeng was quiet from beginning to end, just nodding. Yu Zhaolong did not express any other opinions.
The three Xia brothers who are grandchildren, the eldest Xia Haogang and his wife Kuang Yurou inherited a cosmetics company, in which the shares were split 50-50. They had the same amount, except that the eldest sister-in-law had an extra simple jade hairpin.
The second oldest child, Xia Haoqi, inherited a food factory;
The third child, Xia Haoyang, got a villa in Yancheng.
Even Sun Na and Zeng Jingyi participated. Sun Na, who was not present, got a very beautiful necklace studded with diamonds, and Zeng Jingyi got a retro jade bracelet.
"Me, do I have it too?"
When the lawyer named Zeng Jingyi and made it clear that she would inherit a valuable jade bracelet, Zeng Jingyi made a sound of surprise.
In a very quiet environment, the only sound that was heard was the lawyer speaking. Zeng Jingyi's voice was very abrupt, and then she became extremely shy.
Mother Xia smiled and nodded to Zeng Jingyi, and pulled her with her hand.
Old Mrs. Yu didn't know that Zeng Jingyi had obtained the certificate from Xia Haoyang. She only found out about his existence when she came with the Xia family to pay New Year greetings this year. But what could an old man who has experienced ups and downs for decades not understand? If she wasn't the prospective granddaughter-in-law, how could the Xia family bring her to meet them.
My sister-in-law Kuang Yurou also came to pay her New Year's greetings before she got married.
During this year's Chinese New Year, the Xia family's behavior of taking Zeng Jingyi around to visit guests was actually a way of expressing or announcing her identity as the third mistress of the Xia family, but Zeng Jingyi herself didn't know it.
After the lawyer announced the property distribution, no one had any objections. Xia Yimeng remained silent, while Yu Zhaolong's eyes flashed sharply.
"If there are no objections, please sign it. The will issue will be resolved, and everyone can go about arranging the old lady's affairs." The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I get rid of this property? Or I can discount it and donate the money to grandma's charity foundation." Xia Haoyang asked with a frown.
