After seeing off Du Yiyi, Lu Qingqing called her second brother Huo Chengyi and asked her second brother to come over if he had time. If she had anything to say to him, she could tell him something.
Huo Chengyi received the call and came over in the afternoon, bringing many gifts.
"Are you used to living here?" Huo Chengyi felt that although the environment of the small manor was good, the house was quite old and he was afraid that Lu Qingqing wouldn't be able to get used to it.
"It's okay." Lu Qingqing invited Huo Chengyi into the study, "Second brother, I came to you this time to ask you a few things."
Huo Chengyi pushed up his glasses and said, "Ask me. As long as I know something, I'll tell you."
"I want to know how much property grandpa left me?" Lu Qingqing asked.
Huo Chengyi thought for a while, "I don't know the exact amount, because my grandfather originally divided the inheritance into two parts, one part was real estate, and the other part was funds, stocks, bank deposits, etc. He divided the real estate among the houses according to their shares.
I mainly gave the savings to my dad and eldest brother, and left the rest of the funds and stocks to you and Shasha."
"That shouldn't be much, right?"
"The value back then should have been around 20 billion, but now it's more than 300 to 400 billion." Huo Chengyi showed a secretive smile, "otherwise, why do you think those people in the Huo family would target you."
"Why did grandpa leave so much property to me and Shasha?"
"People of his time paid special attention to the order of elders and children. He believed that the family business should be left to the eldest son in the family to inherit, so we children of the eldest family also benefited a lot. Grandpa left many real estates, wineries, and farms to
You gave it to me and left a very large shipyard to your third brother, and even your fourth brother inherited a fortune of over 20 billion."
Lu Qingqing heard these astronomical figures. No wonder the Huo family had such a high status in the Chinese community and were so rich back then.
"Are all the shares and funds given to Shasha and me?"
"Most of it, and a small amount of real estate and savings. The house you live in now was left to you by your grandfather. By the way, there used to be three world-famous paintings in this house, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they were taken away by my third uncle.
Of the two paintings, my second uncle took one away. Those are properties registered in your name. Legally speaking, you can ask them to get it back."
Lu Qingqing remembered the information about the Huo family that Huo Yifei had given her. It said that her third uncle liked to collect famous paintings and had become obsessed with them.
"Second uncle doesn't like paintings, so why would he take one away?"
"When he saw that his third uncle had taken it, he was not to be outdone, so he also took the remaining painting away. I heard that it is still hanging in his living room. That painting is worth at least 300 million."
Lu Qingqing felt particularly uncomfortable when she heard that her 300 million belongings were hanging in Huo Xian's house.
"Second brother, I heard that the second uncle arranged for Huo Hengyu to enter the board of directors and got stuck with the third uncle. What happened?"
Huo Chengyi glanced at Lu Qingqing and felt that this girl was wondering about something again when she came to see him today.
But no matter what Lu Qingqing wants to do, he is willing to support her.
"There are only seven decision-makers in Huo's board of directors. There are three people in our family, dad, eldest brother, and the third child. Although dad has handed over the chairmanship of the board of directors to the eldest brother, he still has a place on the board of directors. The other four
There are two uncles, the second uncle and the fourth uncle. The fifth uncle wears a pair of trousers. Only the third uncle is neutral. He is only obsessed with collecting famous paintings and does not care about anything else. So as long as you give him a famous painting, everything will be solved."
When Lu Qingqing heard this, he understood everything. The board of directors voted on a one-person-one-vote basis, with seven people. Only by winning over Sanshu, a neutral person, could the resolution be passed.
"Then the second uncle wants to add Huo Hengyu, but there are only eight people. How to make a decision?"
"The next step he originally envisioned was to kick your third brother out of the board of directors, but he didn't expect that the third uncle would not agree to replace Huo Hengyu this time. I heard that someone gave him a famous painting."
"Who?"
"Gong Xu." Huo Chengyi looked at Lu Qingqing with a smile, "Is it your idea?"
Lu Qingqing shook her head. She really didn't know. She thought Gong Xu had used some tricks. It turned out that her third uncle could be dealt with so easily.
"But this time the second uncle wants to replace your third brother. I don't think the third uncle can handle it."
"What if I also give him famous paintings?"
The brother and sister looked at each other, and Huo Chengyi immediately guessed what Lu Qingqing was thinking, "You don't want to take back the painting from the second uncle and give it to the third uncle, do you?"
"And the two paintings I originally made, there are three paintings in total. Is this enough?"
"Are you really willing to give it up?" The total value of Lu Qingqing's paintings is at least over a billion, not to mention the collection value.
"For Third Brother, I have nothing to be reluctant to do. After all, Third Uncle is not an outsider."
As long as it wasn't Huo Xian, it would be fine, but Lu Qingqing didn't say this.
"Okay, then I will be responsible for helping you get your second uncle's paintings back. I don't care how you talk to your third uncle after that."
Lu Qingqing didn't expect Huo Chengyi to be so forthcoming. She agreed before she even opened her mouth.
"Thank you, second brother." If he can successfully win over his third uncle, Lu Qingqing will no longer have to be restricted by Gong Xu.
This was also the reason why she came to Huo Chengyi. She wanted to take the initiative and help Huo Yifei. If she relied entirely on Gong Xu, she would not feel at ease.
After Lu Qingqing finished talking to Huo Chengyi, he wanted to stay with him for dinner, but he said he had plans for the evening and left in a hurry.
After dinner, Lu Qingqing felt dizzy, so she went back to the house to sleep. In the middle of the night, she started to have a fever.
She was covered with a thick quilt and shivering. She was dazed and felt like she was back to the day she fell into the sea. She kept falling in the cold water...
Suddenly, she fell into a solid embrace, and the smell that once made her so greedy enveloped her. She felt as if she had returned to the courtyard of the Sheng family, back to the big bed she and Sheng Mingxi shared.
She felt that she was dreaming, and that those days that were still fresh in her memory were gone forever.
"Mingxi..." Muttering Sheng Mingxi's name, Lu Qingqing slowly opened her eyes and saw Sheng Mingxi right in front of her. She felt that this must be a dream.
She had just finished arguing with Sheng Mingxi this morning, why would he take the initiative to see her?
"Why do I always dream of you at night, even if I want to take a good look at you?" Lu Qingqing said complainingly.
Sheng Mingxi didn't say anything, but just tightened his embrace. He put his face against Lu Qingqing's forehead, trying to cool her down.
Lu Qingqing stretched out her hand and touched Sheng Mingxi's slightly cool cheek. She felt that the touch in the dream was quite real.
"Sheng Mingxi, I will pay back everything I owe you in this life, and I will never see you again in the next life."
Sheng Mingxi suddenly tightened his arms, "Fool, I owe you. If you can't finish it in this life, I will pay it back in the next life."
"I don't want you to give me back, just hug me in your dreams occasionally." She rubbed her arms into Sheng Mingxi's arms again, fearing that when she woke up from her dream, the embrace would disappear.
Lu Qingqing could not forgive Sheng Mingxi in reality and could only covet the tenderness in this dream.
Sheng Mingxi felt that the person in his arms was getting hotter and hotter. He quickly called Cheng Mo and asked him to send a family doctor over immediately.
That night, Lu Qingqing was in a state of confusion and her whole body was as burned as coals. Sheng Mingxi took care of her all night and left after her fever subsided.
