Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1097: Bertrand’s Passing and the Will

Huo Jincheng talked with Lu Xingzhi some more about Yun Yin, and Lu Xingzhi understood even better."He is in contact with the Bernard Family now, and for the time being, we can’t make a move on him. However, we’ve already arranged for people to monitor him." Huo Jincheng said this to reassure Lu Xingzhi that she was temporarily not in any danger.

What is this all about?

Huo Jincheng sometimes really felt like swearing.

These people are all lunatics, one after another.

"With you by my side, I’m not afraid." Lu Xingzhi completely trusted Huo Jincheng.

"Good girl."

Being so trusted by her, Huo Jincheng was still very pleased.

To speak honestly, he had defeated many rivals to win Lu Xingzhi’s heart.

How dare he let her down?

How could he bear to let her down?

They returned to the hospital again, firstly to avoid people from outside, and secondly, to prevent Bertrand from suddenly passing away without being able to see him off for the last journey.

At three in the morning, Lu Xingzhi and the others were woken up.

They rushed to Bertrand’s room, where Edmond was already there.

He had been sleeping in the outer room of Bertrand’s suite, taking care of him all along.

After explaining some matters to them, Bertrand passed away at 3:20 AM on July 21, at the age of 55.

"Uncle!!" Edmond’s mournful call pierced the room.

Lu Xingzhi couldn’t hold back, and tears immediately fell from her eyes.

She didn’t cry out loud, just silent tears, but anyone could feel her sorrow.

How could she not be heartbroken, for this was her teacher, who was as good to her as a father.

Huo Jincheng just stayed by her side, protecting her.

In such matters, he naturally wouldn’t stop her.

Soon after, the people of the Bernard Family arrived at the hospital one after another.

After Bertrand Bernard’s passing, they were allowed into the hospital.

But they saw only a cold, lifeless body.

They had no knowledge of Bertrand’s last words at all.

Nor did they know anything about the distribution of his estate.

This was precisely what they wanted to know even more.

However, for now, they could only hold it in and refrain from mentioning it.

This matter could only be addressed after Bertrand’s funeral.

"Edmond, I really want to know why, before Bertrand passed, we couldn’t come in to visit. Who was exactly controlling this? Moreover, why are these two yellow-skinned people allowed to be here? This is a matter of the Bernard Family, and they, as outsiders, shouldn’t be here!"

Barre was furious. He had used a lot of influence but still couldn’t get into the hospital.

He didn’t even know which lawyer drafted the will.

"The person lying in the bed was my teacher; for the Bernard Family, I am indeed an outsider, but for my teacher, I am one of his own. Sir, do you think there’s a problem with that?" Lu Xingzhi had no fondness for any Bernard Family members other than Edmond and Bertrand.

She now understood why these people were targeting her.

All for a baseless suspicion.

"Do you have any place to speak here? Get these outsiders out of here for me." After Bertrand’s death, Barre had no more scruples at all.

Huo Jincheng protected Lu Xingzhi and was just about to speak when Edmond spoke up.

"I’m sorry, but you have no say in this matter. This hospital belonged to Uncle, and now, it’s already under Lu Lu’s name."
