Chapter 5 Meeting
The first person to meet him was Dai Da. After asking for his condolences, Liang Xi got down to business. He took out the old will that had also been sealed from the borrowed assistant's briefcase, and the seal was opened. Liang Xi placed the will on the table.
Dai Da took a look at the will and didn't quite understand it: "Isn't it going to be read out by Lawyer Cook tomorrow night?"
Liang Xi didn't answer and asked instead: "Mr. Dai...Mr. Davis, the situation is like this. Have you heard that there is a little bit of discord between your father and Attorney Cook?"
Dai Da thought for a while: "No, Lawyer Cook was my grandfather's lawyer at the time. I have not heard of any discord between them."
Liang Xidao: "There is such a rumor that Lawyer Cook once had dinner with your second brother. After that, the will managed by the lawyer turned into a sealed will. As the administrator of your father's will, I know the contents of your father's will.
People, as far as industry rules are concerned, Attorney Cook should not have private dealings with any interested party."
Dai Da asked back: "Mr. Liang, what exactly do you do?"
Liang Xidao: "As I introduced before, I am a psychological evaluator."
Dai Da: "Aren't you an emotional evaluator?"
Liang Xi explained: "There are different names in the industry and outside. In the industry, we commonly call ourselves emotional assessors. For example, before notifying the relatives of the victims, we will first make an assessment of the relatives' emotions, and then decide to inform them in some way. People-oriented
Well."
Dai Da seemed to understand what Liang Xi meant, and said: "Mr. Liang, I respect my father's will very much, and I can accept any terms. To be honest, I have no intention of inheriting the title, and that's not what I'm interested in.
And even if I go bankrupt and lose my job, our family trust fund is enough to ensure that our living standard will not be bad."
Liang Xi stood up and shook hands with Dai Da: "Sorry to bother you, but if possible, please keep the content of our conversation secret from them for the time being."
…
The second person to meet was Dai Er. Following the old rules, Liang Xi took out the unsealed old will from his briefcase. Dai Er was obviously surprised and hesitant: "What does this mean?"
Liang Xi saw it in his eyes and said: "Mr. Davis, according to my understanding of the nobility, the eldest son inherits the title, and the second son usually chooses to join the army."
Dai Er nodded casually: "There is such a saying that Cook asked you to inform me of the contents of the will?"
Liang Xi shook his head: "No, this is an old will. Judging from the old will, Mr. Dai received some relatively generous treatment. The will specifically stated that since you have served in the army for twelve years and sacrificed a lot for the family, you are better than others."
The more people get 2% of the assets.”
Dai Er was surprised: "Is that so?"
Liang Xi chuckled: "Sorry, Mr. Dai, I am an emotional evaluator..." What is the title?
Liang Xi forgot and fooled him directly: "So you need to tell some lies to understand each prospective heir's expectations for the will."
Dai Er ignored Liang Xiyue's conversation and asked with concern: "What is the content of the will?"
Liang Xidao: "Although it is an old will, it still requires the consent of Attorney Cook before it can be viewed. Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to bother you."
Liang Xi took the initiative to shake hands with Dai Er, who was a little confused. When he returned to his room, he immediately called Cook. Cook did not inform Cook of the theft of the will, but just perfunctory and prevaricated. After hanging up the phone, Cook contacted
Liang Xi asked: "Is Dai Er suspected?"
Liang Xi replied: "I don't think Dai Er stole the will. Attorney Cook, do you have any questions?"
Cook quickly replied: "No, no."
…
The third person Liang Xi met was Dai San. Dai San was the calmest among his children and the quietest person. Seeing that the old will was calm, he told Liang Xi first: "I will give what I have obtained
The estate, with all assets except land, donated to charity. I would not care what is in the will and would not need a psychological evaluation."
Liang Xi asked: "Why not donate the land?"
Dai San replied: "Because the land is a limited inheritance inheritance, I hope that the Davis family can continue to inherit the fiefdom from generation to generation. In addition, I and my father have expressed this wish. I do not want my father to split the limited inheritance land. We
Our ancestors left us the Davis family fiefdom, and our descendants have the obligation to protect the family fiefdom."
Liang Xi smiled and said: "I have talked with your eldest brother before. I think you have a strong family concept and are more suitable to be the heir to the title and fief."
Dai San disagreed: "Primogeniture is tradition and law. If there were no such rules, the prospective heirs of each family could do many despicable things in order to please the family patriarch. For example, betraying their brothers,
For example, contact a lawyer privately."
Liang Xidao: "Mr. Dai seems to be referring to your second brother?"
Dai San shook his head: "I didn't mean anything. I just said that I can guarantee that I am not a greedy person, but I cannot persuade others to be a materialistic person."
Liang Xi stood up and shook hands with Dai San: "Thank you." You didn't ask why I mentioned Dai Er, which means you know about it.
…
The three sons all have good tempers, especially the eldest and the third are very polite. Dai, on the other hand, is quite domineering and speaks rudely.
Liang Xi first asked the key point: "Who do you think cares most about the contents of the will among your brothers?"
Dai Nu replied without thinking: "My second brother, he is also the most ambitious among us. After he retired from the army, he went into business and suffered a huge loss. He even applied for personal bankruptcy. My father paid it back for him for the sake of the family's face."
Money. It is said that a few months ago, the investment in the hedge fund suffered serious losses, and a lot of money was borrowed from outside. Now the family relies on the trust fund to survive."
Dai Nu: "And my second sister-in-law is a very vain woman. In order to match her status as the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, she has to spend a lot of money, which makes my second brother miserable. They and their wife are the ones who are most looking forward to the will."
It can be heard that Dai Nu hates the second sister-in-law, and her comments about the second brother are quite kind. From the beginning to the end, she never said anything bad about the eldest brother and the third brother, and she had a good attitude when talking about them.
On the whole, it seems that there are some conflicts within the family. Dai Da and Dai San are unwilling to discuss the family conflicts with Liang Xi. Dai Nu's cultivation is not bad. From the fact that she can't help but say bad things about her second sister-in-law, it can be seen that Dai Nu has tolerated her for a long time.
Liang Xi asked several old maids who had worked for the earl for at least fifteen years. They told Liang Xi that among the four children, Dai Dai was the most beloved by the earl.
Missing the count and his wife. In the ten years after the count's wife passed away, she stayed at the manor for at least one day every week to accompany the count.
Liang Xi looked at the old will and found that Dai's daughter did not get any more assets. The old will stated that the limited inheritance fiefdom would be given to Dai Da, and the other assets would be equally divided among the four children.
The new will must be different from the old will, otherwise there would be no need to make it again. There was only one month between the old and new wills. During this month, only Lady Dai saw the count. Lady Dai's company may have changed the asset distribution in the count's will.
Judging from Dai Nu's attitude, Dai Er is likely to be the victim of the new will.
Chapter completed!
