Chapter 708 Questions and Answers
Sun Maocai also hurriedly came to know about the Sun family's affairs after watching the news in Hong Kong City this morning. He has been in Hong Kong City for many years, and his connections, property, wife, children and friends are all in Hong Kong City. Sun Maocai's wife and children had no objections to his decision to leave the port city and return to Jubao Tower.
He and his wife have only had a normal relationship over the years, relying solely on their two sons to maintain their marriage. Now his eldest son has settled abroad, and his younger son is also preparing to study abroad. Sun Maocai's wife was originally planning to accompany her younger son to go abroad. These days, she even helps Sun Maocai deal with the real estate they purchased in Hong Kong over the years.
In the past few months, Sun Maocai has been dealing with these complicated and trivial matters in Hong Kong City with his wife, while trying to fool his boss into retaining him. Coupled with the natural barrier of information, he knew nothing about the Sun family's affairs before. Like the Jiang family, he watched today Only after the overwhelming news in the morning did we know that Jubao Tower had changed hands.
Not only did it change owners, it stopped doing the restaurant business and focused on the service industry and switched to the hotel business.
Sun Maocai, who was unemployed just after resigning:?
Sun Maocai contacted Assistant Wang immediately after reading the news. He learned about the current situation of Sun Jikai and his son from Assistant Wang, who was also unemployed, and hurried over. Originally, Assistant Wang wanted to come with Sun Maocai, but Sun Maocai felt that Assistant Wang's advice was not as useful as Qiu Fu at this time, so he asked Assistant Wang to wait for news at home and follow Qiu Fu to find Sun Jikai and his son.
Sun Jikai got up from the ground and opened the door.
Qiu Fu and Sun Maocai were standing at the door, neatly dressed and wearing wrinkled shirts. Their long, uncut and uncombed hair was in a mess. They were listless. Their faces were pale and there were dark blue eyes. You could tell at a glance that they had not slept well for a long time. Sun Jikai, who just had the words "I want to commit suicide" written on his face, is in sharp contrast.
Qiu Fu was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw Sun Jikai like this.
When would Sun Jikai appear in front of people like this? Even when Sun Guanyun was still alive a year ago, when he kicked him out of the house and froze his bank cards, credit cards and trusts, Sun Jikai had never taken off the cufflinks on his clothes.
"Xiao Kai..." Qiu Fu didn't know what to say. Do you want to persuade him to be more open-minded? Not to mention Sun Jikai, even he couldn't think of it, otherwise he wouldn't refuse the generous salary offered to him by Sun Changning resolutely. Resigned.
When Qiu Fu was rich, he would even feel that his master had not chosen the names for his two sons well. There was no peace in Changping and no peace in Changning.
Sun Maocai, as if he didn't see Sun Jikai, walked in calmly: "Can you let us sit down?"
"Of course..." Sun Jikai hadn't communicated with normal people for a long time, and he was even a little uncomfortable talking to people. When ordering takeout, he would just leave it at the door and there was no need to ring the bell or knock on the door.
"I'm going to..." Sun Jikai thought for a moment that there was still drinking water in the refrigerator, and then walked towards the kitchen, "I'll get you a glass of water."
Qiu Fu was worried. Sun Changping went to the bedroom to take a look. He only saw Sun Changping lying face down on the bed as if he was drunk. There were empty beer bottles on the floor. He called him twice but didn't respond. Then he came out and said worriedly: "Xiao Kai, your dad..."
"He's not drunk." Sun Jikai put the water glass on the coffee table.
Qiu Fu didn't believe it. The floor of the bedroom was full of beer bottles, and the bedroom was full of alcohol. How could he not be drunk?
"I see on the ground..."
"It's all leftovers from before. My dad was very drunk every day in the first few days. In the past few days, he only drank one or two bottles of beer every day. I'm not drunk. It's just that he wouldn't let me pick up the bottles on the ground." Sun Jikai said listlessly. , "Maybe he just wants to be like this if he doesn't want to be drunk or sober."
"What about you?" Sun Maocai looked at Sun Jikai.
"I don't know." Sun Jikai lowered his head.
"Because I don't know, is it like this? I live in such a small dark house with the curtains drawn every day, without contact with the outside world, without seeing anyone, escaping. Is it useful to escape? This morning I looked at the mobile phones all over the place and they were all related to The news about the change of ownership of Jubao Tower is now known to the whole country. Now, do you still want to continue to escape?" Sun Maocai said.
Sun Jikai said nothing.
Qiu Fu was a little anxious and used his eyes to signal Sun Maocai not to irritate Sun Jikai at this time, but Sun Maocai also used his eyes to signal not to stop him.
"Do you still want to fight?" Sun Maocai asked.
Sun Jikai shook his head.
"Why don't you fight? I asked Assistant Wang this morning. You and your father are like this because your mother destroyed the will without anyone thinking about it. The will that has been destroyed has only a copy and no original, and the will in the hands of your second uncle. The will with the original copy is not competitive, but this does not mean that you have no hope of winning this lawsuit." Sun Maocai continued, "This is Hong Kong City. There have been many sensational inheritance dispute cases in recent years. Even if there is a will, let alone one, it is common for the lawsuit to last for a year and a half, ten or eight years. As long as one party refuses to let go, the inheritance cannot be divided, and there is a winner who everyone expects to win. , there are unexpected winners, some win by forging wills, so there are also losers, why don’t you fight?”
Qiu Fu was so frightened by Sun Maocai's words that he was speechless.
"Because I can't." Sun Jikai said.
"Is there anything that can't be done?" Sun Maocai pressed forward step by step, "You deserve this. If you don't relent, don't give in, and don't admit it, this inheritance lawsuit will go on endlessly, and then you will be counted as Even if you can’t win, your second uncle will definitely give in. Why can’t you get more inheritance than what you get now?”
"Because Jubao Tower can't afford to drag it!" Sun Jikai shouted.
"When grandpa was still here, the business of Jubaolou was already very bleak because he was too ill to take care of the store's business. After the funeral, the staff should have been reorganized, but because... because of this inheritance lawsuit, it became even more serious. It’s chaotic. The shareholders are taking sides, the employees are taking sides, and Jubaolou’s stock price has plummeted. If we continue to drag this lawsuit on, Jubaolou will be over before the lawsuit is over.”
"Now the Jubao Building is also finished. Sun Changning is going to transform the Jubao Building into a hotel, and create a series of peripheral facilities around the hotel supplemented by catering. Did you know?" Sun Maocai asked.
"I know." Sun Jikai stared at the floor, "My second uncle has wanted to transform Jubao Building into a hotel for many years, but my grandfather has always refused."
"Are you willing to do this?"
"I'm not willing to give in." Sun Jikai murmured, "But my father and I don't want Jubao Building to be destroyed in our hands because of the inheritance lawsuit. Although my second uncle wants to be a hotel, he will not give up catering. He knows that Jubao Building What is the core of the building? As it is now, at least the Jubao Building is still there.”
"What about your mother?" Sun Maocai changed the topic, "She damaged the will and you lost the lawsuit. I heard that the divorce agreement was signed before the outcome of the inheritance lawsuit was decided. She lost the inheritance rights because of the damage to the will. But there seems to be nothing missing.”
Sun Jikai sneered: "She will regret it, and she will regret it soon. She thinks she is smart, and my dad and I won't hold her accountable, but she will soon pay the price for her smartness. What she gained and lost one by one is better than letting her It’s much more painful to not get it from the beginning.”
Sun Maocai stopped asking any more questions and just looked at Sun Jikai quietly.
Sun Jikai had been staring at the floor with his head lowered, waiting for Sun Maocai's next question, but he didn't hear him speak for a long time. He raised his head and met Sun Maocai's eyes.
"Is this what you came here to ask?" Sun Jikai asked.
"More than that, but the rest is unnecessary." Sun Maocai suddenly laughed, "I thought you were so depressed that you locked yourself in the room because you couldn't bear the blow. But you know very well what you have done. Choice, it seems that you don’t regret these choices now. If you don’t regret it, why do you still do this? ”
Sun Jikai was silent.
After a long moment, he shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Want to hear my opinion?" Sun Maocai said.
Sun Jikai looked at him, and Qiu Fu also looked at him.
Sun Maocai was about to start, but stopped when he reached his mouth, paused, and said: "Mr. Sun, stop standing there, sit down and drink some water."
Sun Changping walked out of the room at some point and leaned against the wall. He looked like a sloppy drunk, but there was no hint of drunkenness in his eyes.
"Before I give my opinion, let me tell you a story first." (End of Chapter)
