Louis' 13

Tangning invited Louis to his office.

There were no plans for Tuesday afternoon, and Louis drove there after lunch.

When passing through the downstairs lobby, the property management personnel were changing a small sign on the floor plan next to the elevator, and the long-distance trading sign on the sixth floor was removed, leaving a glaring blank.

Louis looked at the man who operated it with a kind face, and asked politely, "Did Yuancheng move?"

The master of the property management turned around and saw that Louis looked familiar, and nodded with a smile: "I heard that they have moved. I think the cost here is high, and the employees are almost gone. I don't need such a big space, so I left."

The elevator stopped for a moment when it reached the sixth floor, and Louis looked at the corridor outside with a daze in his eyes.

Someone went down, and the elevator slowly closed again, and what was locked outside were those simple days that could never go back.

Tangning looked a lot better than at the funeral. At least on the outside, he was dressed in a manner that suited his status, not messy and grieving.It's just that in the heart, only the person involved knows what it feels like.

Louis didn't comment on Tangning's changes, but felt that Lawyer Tang had become more restrained, and his attitude towards him was finally so friendly that he was a normal passer-by, not an enemy anymore.

"Please sit down." Tangning didn't exchange too many greetings. She reached out for a stack of paper contracts and said straight to the point, "I am Dayao's legal advisor and Duan Xiaohui's personal lawyer, you know that?"

Louis nodded and waited for the following.

Tangning opened the contract in a business-like manner, slender fingers brushing over the strict terms: "According to Duan Xiaohui's private entrustment, all his personal shares in Dayao Group will be donated to you. This is a gift contract, please take a look. And Duan Xiaohui For all the properties in city A, besides the two sets you have already signed, there are four other properties. After you sign, someone will accompany you to the transaction office of the Housing Management Bureau to go through the transfer procedures. There are also two sets of shops in the city center and his personal behavior. An investment office building, this is a contract..."

Louis didn't hear Duan Xiaohui mentioning it, so he was confused by Tangning's call, "Tangning, Mr. Tang, please stop, I don't understand."

Tangning shut her mouth, stretched out her hand to rub the center of her brows, adjusted her glasses, and looked up at him quietly, "What's the problem?"

"I," Louis clenched his fist and released it: "I want to go back and ask Duan Xiaohui first, and then we can make another appointment, shall we?"

Tangning didn't make a sound for quite a while, and it took three minutes before she twitched the corners of her mouth. Finally, she spoke with some personal emotion, "What's your question? Why don't I leave it all to you? You signed where I pointed, and from now on Going out this door, you are the one who holds the power of life and death of Dayao, or even Duan Xiaohui. Oh, he is really willing to leave the house. By the way, the cash is also transferred to you? "

"Well, 600 million. I just received a text message from the bank just before I entered the door." Louis pursed his lips and looked at Tangning with bright and gentle eyes: "I don't need him to do this for me. He gave me his important things, but I The most important thing is never these.”

"Hmph," Tangning shook her head, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "Idiot."

Louis laughed at himself, lowered his head and picked his fingers: "I'm quite stupid..."

Tangning relaxed her body, and no longer sat upright: "Whether it's his lawyer or his friend, I suggest you sign directly today. He has no second thoughts, and you will not change, so these extraneous things are not the same in the hands of the two of you." ?"

"It's not the same." Louis's stubbornness also caused headaches: "When he buys a house, I decorate it. I can eat his food and drink his food, and I can also give him gifts, but this... I can't tell, but I can't do it anyway."

"Sure enough, I was guessed correctly." Tangning smiled, turned sideways and took out another agreement from the drawer and threw it in front of Louis, "Here, that idiot Duan Xiaohui has already expected your reaction. This is a supplementary agreement."

Louis glanced twice, his eyes ached from the jargon, "Tangning, just tell me, I don't understand, I have a headache."

"All gift items are valid for six months." Tangning snuffed out the cigarette butt, and shook the last few thin sheets of paper, "I'll tell you clearly, Duan Xiaohui's best gift is not for you Show loyalty. It's to show your determination to his mother, understand?"

Seeing Louis' dull and stupid expression, Tangning simply said something more bluntly: "After these donation agreements take effect, no one knows that there is a time limit regardless of the supplementary agreement. Duan Xiaohui will take it back and have a final showdown with his mother." Oh, you don't have to worry that he will have a wife and forget his mother, he bought a huge insurance policy, with a death insurance coverage of [-] million." Tangning smiled: "The beneficiary is currently legal. It means he showed it to his mother At that time, the only beneficiary can only be his mother. It is his guarantee that the mother and son will not turn against each other. Of course, the initiative is still in Duan Xiaohui's hands. Based on his initial thoughts, if the negotiation fails or he Mom has been refusing to accept you. He will help you with immigration in the later stage, and apply for a green card status in a country that does not need to sit in an immigration prison to recognize same-sex marriage. Then according to international private law and the current laws of our country, your status as his spouse is legal Admittedly, he has the right of inheritance, and he can change the beneficiary of the large insurance policy to your name at any time."

Louis was so dumbfounded, he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to ask.

"It really took a lot of effort." Tangning breathed out, her expression was quite meaningful, "I've known Duan Xiaohui for so many years, who is he, heh... This is the first time I've seen him care so much about someone. Louis, you don't understand So, he is going to use money to build you a golden palace, and went to your house to propose marriage."

............................................................

Louis walked on the way home in a daze, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

He wanted to call Duan Xiaohui, but he took out his phone and realized that Duan Xiaohui was on a business trip today, going to the United States.The flight at noon should still be on the plane right now.

The phone vibrated suddenly, it was Mu's number.

"Xiaolu, are you off work?" It was Father Mu's majestic yet gentle voice.

"Hello, Uncle Mu." Lu Yi said obediently, "I just got off work."

"Do you have something to do tonight? Come to my house for a meal?" Mu's mother's gentle and sporadic voice was vaguely beside her: "Aunt Zhang stewed fish soup today...Xiaolu...likes...pumpkin porridge...lotus pond stir fry..."

"I was thinking about going to see my uncle and aunt." Louis cheered up: "Then I will not be polite."

It was almost seven o'clock when we arrived at Mu's house. At the fruit stand, Louis bought the mangoes and avocados that Mu's mother liked, as well as the bananas and apples that Mu's father liked.When I entered the door, I was complained by Mu's mother for a while, what to do with these things, as long as people come...

The dinner was enjoyable, even though Louis had something on his mind, he still tried his best to suppress it and concentrate on chatting with the two of them.

Mu's mother's condition has improved a lot, and her smile has increased.

After eating, Aunt Zhang put away the tableware and made tea.Father Mu coughed lightly, and brought up today's topic: "Xiao Lu, I called you to come home today because I want to ask your opinion on something."

Louis sat up straight, with a respectful expression: "Uncle, please tell me."

Mu's father looked at Mu's mother, exchanged glances, and said a little embarrassedly: "I discussed it with your aunt, and I want to recognize you as a foster son. I don't know you..."

Louis couldn't think of this matter anymore, and his mind was in a mess for a while, and he didn't know what to say.He was never a quick and quick kid.

"Of course, this is just our wishful thinking." Father Mu clasped his hands and moved, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. This is just a folk form, there is no legal aspect..."

"Uncle Mu," Louis answered, and looked up at him: "I just want to ask a question. Is this Duan Xiaohui begging you?"

Father Mu didn't refute, and his mood was still light: "He mentioned it. But this is what your aunt and I meant. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't agree."

Louis was silent for a long time, and said something wrong with his lips: "Fucking doesn't like me."

Father Mu picked up the teacup: "Don't think too much about it. Duan Xiaohui is a bit more purposeful. But that's his mother, not another competitor who can deal with it by any means. We lived next door in the early years, and Mrs. Duan's temper It is also very understanding. That person has not read any books, and her husband died young. She has been a woman who has taken care of the child for so many years. I can't afford this family. Mrs. Duan is not a bad person, but she will never be a good mother-in-law. Don't be angry when I say that, Xiaolu, no matter if it is you or any other woman, life will not be too bad if you marry into the Duan family. Better off."

"I... guessed it." After the words were finished, Louis looked over and calmed down: "Uncle Mu, did you know that Tangning asked me to go to the office this afternoon, and Duan Xiaohui dumped all his belongings. , All of them have been transferred to my name. In addition to your affairs... If it is the original me, I am afraid that I will resolutely reject it, and I will think it is an insult of inequality and disrespect..."

Father Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise, moved his lips, and drank his tea in silence.

Louis smiled, stood up seriously, dusted off his clothes, knelt down straight, folded his hands in front of him, and kowtowed three times: "Godfather, godmother, from now on Louis will be your son , give you old age."

Mu's mother, who had been silent all this time, covered her mouth, and tears welled up all at once: "Good boy... get up..."

Father Mu hugged his wife's shoulders comfortingly, and supported the child in front of him with both hands sincerely: "Xiao Lu, you have this heart, enough..."

"What I said is true." Louis looked up with a serious expression and bright eyes: "It turns out that my temper, the literati's high and sour, feel that my relationship with Mu Jiala is suspected of being a follower of power. I can't say that. Uncle Mu , Auntie, you are such good people, I sincerely want to take care of you instead of Yaran, and let you have a happy old age..."

Father Mu's eye circles were slightly red, and he patted the young man's thin shoulder wordlessly: "You..."

Mu's mother cried and laughed again, and came over to help Louis straighten his clothes and cuffs in a reproachful way: "Next to Yaran's room, we will help you tidy up the bedroom. If Xiao Duan is not at home in the future, you can come back to live. Don't go out alone in the future." Eat, go home and eat. Seeing how thin you are..."

Father Mu thought too much: "Xiao Lu, although this is just an emotional acquaintance, it has no legal effect. But I think out of respect, you still have to tell your parents to invite them to City A when you have time. Let's have a meal together and recognize each other, and we will walk around as relatives in the future."

Louis nodded shyly with a smile: "Got it...Dad."
