When it was five in the morning, Su Xing got up to relieve himself. He saw that the lights were still on when he passed by his sister’s room, so he peeked inside.
He could not believe his own eyes, so he rubbed them to make sure that they were not playing tricks on him.
His sister was using a pen! To write! Even though she sucked at school!
“Sis, it’s not even the last day of holidays yet. Why are you already doing your homework?”
Su Ye cast Su Xing a faint glance, and slight exhaustion revealed itself in her exquisite eyes. “There’s homework for the holidays?”
‘Ah, it’s a misunderstanding. This is my sister.’ Su Xing felt relieved.
He rose on his tiptoes to look at the table. He could already read, and what his sister had written on the paper was: Bidding for ATA core technology.
The internet was a good thing, and Su Ye could search for far more information online compared to any normal person.
She spent an entire night following up on the main trends within the business circle and analysing the current economic situation of the Su family. She noticed that there were two reasons behind why the Wang family refused to work with them. First, they looked down on the Su family. Second, the Su family lacked a core technology, which was the main reason why the Wang family refused to work with them.
There was news that a core technology would be up for bidding soon. Its estimated bidding price was around six million RMB.
With the Su family’s current economic situation, Su Jingyang would have to sell the mansion if he wanted to produce that money, but Su Ye did not want to sleep on the streets. Their small mansion was already the worst place she could adapt to now.
It was just six million. She could get it. Of course, she would not give that money to the family for free.
…
The next day, at Imperial City Department of Inheritance Notarization, five employees in black uniforms and with stern expressions stood in front of Su Ye in a neat row. They brought out a thick stack of documents to compare them to her ID and other personal information.
“You’re Su Ye as well? What is your relationship with Su Ye, the heir of the inheritance?”
Su Ye looked up slowly. “I am her… grandniece.”
They were talking about the biggest confidential inheritance since the formation of the inheritance notarization department. It was the longest shelved inheritance, too. Hence, the employees had to handle it with extra care and could not let anything go wrong.
After examining everything for a long time, the staff member leading the team finally said, “You can’t receive the inheritance even if you are her grandniece. You might have the death certificate of the first heir in-line, but your grandfather or father should be the ones receiving the inheritance.”
Su Ye was the true inheritor, but it was troublesome trying to receive the inheritance that her father left for her. Fortunately, no one else but her knew about it. Otherwise, it would have long been gone.
“If I want to receive it myself, what procedures do I need to go through?”
The employees looked through the requirements on the document and recited everything, not daring to miss a single thing. “You need the death certificate of the heir, the will of the heir, and…”
The procedures were not very complicated, but they were difficult for Su Ye. “How long will it be before I can get the inheritance after I go through the procedures?”
“Around two months…”
Two months? By then, the bidding would have ended. It seemed that she needed to think of another method.
Su Ye already had one foot out the door of the inheritance notarization department when she suddenly remembered something. She casually turned her head around and asked, “Aside from money, there’s a small box included in the inheritance as well, right?”
The employees remained tightlipped. “I’m sorry, we cannot reveal it.”
Su Ye smiled faintly. “Take good care of it. The item in the box is far more valuable than the money.”
The employees looked at each other at a loss. After Su Ye left, they laughed simultaneously.
“Does she know how much money there is in the inheritance? Even if the box were full of diamonds, it’d be impossible for them to be worth more!”
“How old is she? When the will was made, she wasn’t even born. She’s definitely running her mouth off.”
…
Since this solution consumed too much time and could not solve the imminent problem, Su Ye suddenly thought that money was quite valuable after leaving the inheritance notarization department. If she had known this truth earlier, she would not have given the medicine to Lin Zhan for free.
The turquoise pendant was still in her hands, but if she talked about the repair fees unprompted, it would look like she was taking advantage of a sick old man. It did not suit the style of the best businesswoman in the business circle.
‘That’s right. I haven’t treated Bo Zhan yet, and even best friends need to settle accounts with each other clearly…’
She called for a cab. Then, she pulled out her phone to show the driver the Bo family’s address.
The driver’s eyes instantly went wide. ‘Wow, anyone who lives there is royalty, right?’
