Chapter 1102: The Simpleminded Heir, Once Again
This person has exposed all the scandals that Shen Xinzhu has been involved in over the years, including hiring ghostwriters to spread negative rumors, buying trending topics, using small anonymous accounts back in the day, and many other scandals.The Bernard Family’s company has a market value of over 40 billion euros, equivalent to more than 300 billion yuan.
A legacy of 300 million euros left for Lu Xingzhi equals more than 20 billion yuan, a mere small fraction, but it’s a decision Bertrand made after careful consideration.
Moreover, this further proves that Bertrand truly cherished Lu Xingzhi.
If too much were given, the Bernard family would undoubtedly be displeased and might do many things against her interests at that time.
To let Lu Xingzhi come out early, Huo Jincheng absolutely believes there might be some issues with the will later.
However, those people in the Bernard family were all focused on the benefits from the will and didn’t notice Clement’s strange expression at all.
"Jincheng, why did the teacher leave so much money for me? I don’t need it, I can earn money by myself." Lu Xingzhi felt very uncomfortable. She wasn’t after the inheritance; she just wanted her teacher to be well.
Money is never more important than people.
"Don’t worry about this for now. We should go back first and wait for Edmond to come to us. Don’t forget, you still need to scatter your teacher’s ashes into the sea personally." Huo Jincheng said, already leading Lu Xingzhi away.
It was Bertrand’s last wish, instructed before his death.
Now, at his gravesite, there’s only a cenotaph.
They returned to the apartment, and it took more than half a day before Edmond came to find them.
"Edmond, are you okay?" Lu Xingzhi asked with concern.
"I’m fine, Lu Lu, you don’t have to worry about me. Uncle wouldn’t deceive me." Edmond reassured with a smile, "The bad ones are those people."
Lu Xingzhi looked at him, not fully understanding.
"Let’s talk as we walk, while it’s still early," Edmond said.
"Okay."
On the road to the seaside, Edmond slowly explained, "Uncle donated two-thirds of his assets to society, leaving only one-third for the Bernard family. Within that, he designated a portion for you, gave a portion to me, and the rest to the Bernard family."
Lu Xingzhi could already imagine how unsightly those people’s expressions were.
No wonder the lawyer asked her to leave first; it must have been the teacher’s intention!
He didn’t want her to see their internal conflicts.
"Actually, that’s already being generous to them," Edmond said. "It’s already a hundred billion euros. If they were capable enough, it could become much more over time. But they are still not satisfied."
"Insatiable greed," Lu Xingzhi could only say these four words.
"Exactly, insatiable greed. All this money, it was earned by his ancestors. Actually, it doesn’t have much to do with the Bernard family," Edmond said, treating Lu Xingzhi as family.
"Edmond, I can’t accept the money that the teacher left for me," Lu Xingzhi wasn’t being unreasonable; she just genuinely didn’t know how to handle such an enormous amount of money.
It was simply too overwhelming.
"Lu Lu, don’t even think about having me handle it. Uncle gave it to you, so it’s yours. You can manage it however you wish, but don’t expect me to do it." Edmond, although much more mature now, was still the same naive son of a landlord from before.
For a stranger he had never met, Luo Wanxu, whom he encountered while throwing a bottled message in WeChat, he could lend tens of thousands.
This proved that he was very kind-hearted and loving.
