582: Making a will
After arranging the simple funeral matters, Ye Kaijun asked, "Are you busy later?"
"I'm not busy." Ye Su shook his head repeatedly. "Is there something you need help with?"
"If you're not busy, I'll have the lawyer I contacted earlier come to the house to help me make a will, leaving all the properties and savings under my name to you."
When Ye Kaijun said this, Ye Su remembered that when the information about Ye Kaijun's cancer first appeared, the system had reminded him that Ye Kaijun might leave his inheritance to him.
Now, hearing that Ye Kaijun really wanted to make a will and leave all his properties and savings to him, Ye Su didn't feel a hint of joy in his heart.
To be sure, setting aside the savings, just the three houses Ye Kaijun owned in Yangcheng were worth over ten million in total.
For an ordinary person, this was definitely a huge sum of money that they wouldn't be able to earn in several lifetimes.
But for Ye Su, this was just the profit he could earn from a random level-eight piece of intelligence.
Compared to this inheritance, Ye Su would rather this elder, whom he had only known for a few months and shared no blood relation with but who already treated him as family, could enjoy his later years in peace.
"Uncle Jun, actually, you could use this money to..."
Ye Su wanted to say that Ye Kaijun could take out all the properties and savings to enjoy himself during the final period of his life.
But Ye Kaijun was already terminally ill; worldly wealth was nothing more than a passing cloud to him, so how could he enjoy it?
"Enough." Ye Kaijun didn't give Ye Su a chance to continue advising him.
"When you get to my age, you'll know that these are just things you can't bring with you at birth or take with you at death. Lesheng and the others passed away early, and I have no one else to give them to. If I don't leave them to you, they'll just be confiscated by the state in the end."
"Just treat it as my way of thanking you for helping me arrange my funeral matters. In the future, during the Qingming Festival, just remember to burn some joss paper for me."
"I... *sigh*..." After a sigh, Ye Su nodded silently. "I understand."
"Haha!" Hearing Ye Su agree to accept his inheritance, Ye Kaijun laughed heartily.
"That's the spirit. I've come to terms with it, and you should too."
As if afraid Ye Su would change his mind, Ye Kaijun immediately picked up his phone, found the lawyer he had contacted earlier, and called them to come to the house to set up the will.
Knock, knock, knock—
About twenty minutes after Ye Kaijun finished the call, a knock sounded at the door.
Ye Su went to open the door and found a man and a woman, both dressed in professional business attire.
Unsurprisingly, these were the lawyers Ye Kaijun had contacted to handle the will.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ye Kaijun's home?"
"Yes."
"We are from Taian Law Firm. We've been commissioned by Ye Kaijun to come and help him make a will."
"Alright, please come in."
After entering the house and greeting Ye Kaijun, the two of them introduced themselves.
"Hello, I am Lawyer Xiao Qingjun, responsible for handling Mr. Ye Kaijun's will. This is my colleague, Pan Zinan, who will also be a witness for the creation of this will."
"Understood."
After the mutual greetings, Xiao Qingjun got straight to the point, first confirming Ye Kaijun's current mental state to ensure he was making the will while fully conscious and lucid.
When they learned that the beneficiary of the will was Ye Su and that the two were not blood relatives, Xiao Qingjun and his colleague were both surprised and envious.
As a lawyer, his income was indeed not low, occasionally reaching over a million a year, but even he couldn't afford to buy three houses in downtown Yangcheng.
The young man before them was receiving a massive inheritance from Ye Kaijun despite having no blood relation, directly saving himself a lifetime of struggle!
This luck was even better than winning the first prize in the lottery!
Wait!
At this moment, Xiao Qingjun noticed the watch on Ye Su's wrist.
Holy crap, that's a Patek Philippe star king!
Xiao Qingjun's first reaction was that Ye Su was wearing a fake watch just to show off.
But for some reason, there were certain qualities about Ye Su that made Xiao Qingjun believe the "star king" he was wearing was genuine.
A watch worth over five million, just worn on his wrist like that!
Xiao Qingjun even doubted if his eyes were deceiving him.
How could this young man in his early twenties afford such an expensive watch?
He exchanged a glance with Pan Zinan; from her eyes, Xiao Qingjun could tell she had noticed the same thing.
Shock aside, Xiao Qingjun and his colleague professionally handled the will procedures for Ye Kaijun.
Two three-bedroom apartments in He District, one 114 square meters and the other 120 square meters, and one three-bedroom apartment in Yue District, 120 square meters in size.
The average price of the three houses was about 40,000 yuan per square meter, making the current market value over 14 million yuan.
In addition to the houses, Ye Kaijun also had 1.13 million yuan in his savings account, all of which would be inherited by Ye Su.
After the will was drafted, it officially took effect under the joint witness of Lawyer Xiao Qingjun and witness Pan Zinan.
Unless Ye Kaijun made a new will later, this document would possess final legal validity.
After finishing the will and proactively adding Ye Su as a contact, Xiao Qingjun and his colleague stood up to leave.
[Ding!]
Just as he saw Xiao Qingjun and his colleague out, the system interface popped up.
[Ye Kaijun is currently suffering from pain. Given that he is leaving all his property to the Host, a one-time opportunity for "Pain Alleviation" is now provided!]
[It only costs 9,999 yuan to alleviate the pain Ye Kaijun suffers due to cancer!]
[Note: "Pain Alleviation" only provides an effect similar to painkillers and cannot extend Ye Kaijun's life!]
"Pain Alleviation? It can reduce Uncle Jun's pain?"
Although it couldn't extend his life, it was still good to let him suffer a bit less.
Not to mention that Ye Kaijun had just left all his property to him; even if he hadn't, Ye Su would have willingly spent this money.
"Confirm use of the 'Pain Alleviation' function on Ye Kaijun!"
[Ding!]
["Pain Alleviation" used successfully!]
At the same time the system prompt appeared, Ye Kaijun, who was silently enduring bouts of sharp pain in his liver because he didn't want Ye Su to worry, suddenly felt the pain rapidly subsiding.
Although he could still feel a bit of pain, it was much better than just a moment ago.
Ye Kaijun simply thought that because his wish had been fulfilled, his symptoms had eased slightly, allowing him to feel a long-lost sense of relief, so he didn't think much more of it.
After using "Pain Alleviation," Ye Su estimated that Ye Kaijun's mobility might be a bit better, so he suggested:
"Uncle Jun, how about we go to a photo studio to take some pictures? After that, I'll accompany you for lunch."
"Take pictures with me?"
Ye Kaijun's cloudy eyes gradually brightened, and he became as happy as a child going to a photo studio for the first time.
"Of course, that would be great!"
Before his son Ye Deming's family had the car accident, his grandson Ye Lesheng had suggested that the whole family should go to a photo studio to take a family portrait.
At that time, Ye Kaijun found it troublesome and just gave a perfunctory answer, saying he would go with them after they returned from their trip.
He didn't expect that finding it troublesome back then would become a lifelong regret.
Now that Ye Kaijun regarded Ye Su as his grandson, going to the photo studio together was, in a way, fulfilling one of Ye Kaijun's wishes.
