Entering 2001, Guan Xiaoguan's parents returned to the mainland again, preparing to apply for the death of Mr. Guan, and use this to fight for Mr. Guan's inheritance.
In 1996, Mr. Guan ran away from home. Before running away, he divided all his finances. Chunming inherited his literary works, Xiaozao inherited his house, Guan Qing inherited his bankbook...
Mr. Guan's son Guan Delin and his daughter-in-law Yu Jinxian didn't get a hair. Later, they were unwilling to give in and wanted to file a lawsuit with Chunming to fight for the inheritance, but in the end Chunming gave all the cultural toys to Guan Xiaoguan.
But even so, Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian were still unwilling to give in and wanted to compete with Guan Xiaoguan.
The reason is simple, Guan Xiaoguan is not close to them at all.
They wanted a batch of antiques to be shipped abroad and sold, but Guan Xiaoguan refused at all. They wanted their daughter to give them money directly, but Guan Xiaoguan refused to agree.
Over and over again, they felt that their daughter was too heartless and that their biological children were not as valuable as those close to her, so they came back to fight for the inheritance.
Guan Xiaoguan was not used to their faults. When he saw them coming back to fight for the inheritance, he immediately chose to respond and refused to negotiate with them.
"Xiaoguan, after all, they are your parents. If you can't give them some money, don't make trouble with Fating." Xiang Nan advised, "Jin Manying is seeking to go public now. It would be too embarrassing and it would affect IPO plan.”
Jin Manying is preparing to be listed on the A-share market and is currently going through the process. Once listed, Jin Manying's market value is likely to exceed 5 billion.
In comparison, no matter how greedy Guan Xiaoguan's parents are, twenty to thirty million dollars is enough to shut their mouths. And this little money is nothing to Guan Xiaoguan, who has successfully gone public.
"No." Guan Xiaoguan refused directly, "Grandpa's wish is not to allow the Guan family's cultural relics to go abroad. I will not let grandpa down.
Besides, it’s not like I haven’t given them money. But they were too greedy. I gave them one hundred thousand, but they wanted one million. I gave one million, and they asked for another five million...
They don't treat me as a daughter, but as a cash machine. If I don't file a complaint, they will think I'm a coward. At that time, it will not be 10 million or 20 million, but 30 million or 50 million.
With so much money, don’t say I don’t have it. Even if there is, I won’t give it to them. "
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded and admitted that what she said made sense.
Neither Guan Delin nor Yu Jinxian are smart people.
If Gwendelin was really smart, he would not marry a vulgar, philistine, money-grubbing, and evil-minded woman like Jinxian. If Yu Jinxian was smart, he wouldn't always say bad words and make others dislike him.
If tens of millions of dollars were really given to them, they would just waste it and make a living, and there would be no other use at all. In other words, with their wisdom, they simply cannot control such a large amount of wealth. Therefore, giving them so much money actually harmed them.
Furthermore, Guan Xiaoguan's money did not come from the strong wind. Jin Manying's current scale and income are all achieved through Guan Xiaoguan's hard work, and she has put a lot of effort into this.
Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian did not consider their daughter's hard work. They thought she had money, so they desperately asked for money, and tried to squeeze her out. Guan Xiaoguan was naturally not happy, and it was normal for her to refuse to communicate.
"Okay." After Xiang Nan understood, he stopped trying to persuade him.
Fortunately, he knew that this matter was a drama played by Mr. Guan. If things get out of hand, he will send magic troops from heaven to resolve all conflicts.
Furthermore, this lawsuit may not affect Jin Manying's listing. After all, this is just Guan Xiaoguan's lawsuit and has nothing to do with Jin Manying's company.
…
Subsequently, at the request of Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian, Fating declared Mr. Guan dead.
After Mr. Guan was declared dead, Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian pretended to be at the cemetery, bought a cemetery for Mr. Guan, erected a monument, and held a funeral.
However, Chunming, Guan Xiaoguan, Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli and others did not participate. It was his couple who were there to perform.
In the opinion of Chunming and Guan Xiaoguan, as long as Mr. Guan's bones are not found for one day, they will not admit that the old man is gone.
After "burying" Mr. Guan, Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian formally filed a lawsuit, asking the court to declare Mr. Guan's will invalid and to redistribute their property.
Their reason was that Mr. Guan had suffered a stroke before he went missing. After he was discharged from the hospital, he had sequelae and his mind was unclear. Therefore, when he made this will, he was either confused or deceived. It was not his original intention at all and should be invalid.
For this reason, they also specially found Mr. Guan's medical records and collected testimonials from the neighbors in Yangjiao Hutong to prove that their father was really an old fool.
Guan Xiaoguan actively responded to the lawsuit and sent a lawyer to file a lawsuit with his parents, trying to preserve all of his grandfather's property.
The lawyer is also very confident about winning the case.
On the one hand, although Mr. Guan suffered a stroke and had minor sequelae after being discharged from the hospital, it does not mean that he was not sober when he made the will. After all, he only had minor side effects, not that harmful.
On the one hand, Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian alleged that Mr. Guan's will was deceived and had no evidence to support it. They were just one-sided statements.
Therefore, the evidence they produced was not enough to overturn the will, and any further quarrel would be futile.
…
Sure enough, after the trial, the court quickly pronounced the first-instance verdict, and Guan Delin and Yu Jinxian lost the case.
The two of them were naturally unwilling to do so.
Mr. Guan's batch of antiques were only worth tens of millions of dollars in 1996. After five years, the antiques are now probably worth two to three billion US dollars.
With so much money, they are naturally unwilling to give it up easily. But they could not find any more evidence to support their continued lawsuit.
Even the lawyers advised them that if there is no stronger evidence, it is best not to appeal, as the probability of overturning the case is too small.
Under such circumstances, they were unwilling to accept the situation and went to the entrance of Jin Manying's flagship store to hold up a banner to protest.
They carried big banners and wrote letters such as "Unfilial daughter Guan Xiaoguan, who seized the family wealth, drove her parents out of China, and called for justice~" and "Jin Manying Chairman Guan Xiaoguan deceived and abducted her for profit, killed her grandfather, and seized the family property." , calling on the sky to redress the injustice~"
A group of mourners were also invited to kneel down in front of the store, creating a huge momentum.
Although their group was quickly expelled by the relevant departments, the impact was still felt. After all, Jin Manying's flagship store is in Qianmen Dashilan, which is one of the most prosperous areas in the capital.
Although Xiang Nan contacted the media immediately and suppressed the news, it was a step too late. The news still spread on the Internet, causing a considerable impact.
