The other party was a lawyer, Lin Xiaohe Lawyer Chen, sent by Lin Xiaohe, was much more cautious. Hearing the other party's final refusal, he didn't say anything more. Since the other party wasn't going to sign, there was no need to leave the contract with them. He put the documents spread out on the table into his briefcase, stood up, and without even glancing at the closed door of the inner ward, shook hands with Ji Wenming: "Okay, I will convey Ms. Lin Yujing's message to Mr. Lin."
After the two lawyers left, Ji Wenming looked at Nine-Tattooed Dragon standing outside the door. Nine-Tattooed Dragon said, "They're far enough away. There's no one outside except me."
Upon hearing Nine-Tattooed Dragon's words, Ji Wenming knocked on the door of the inner room and walked in. Inside, Angie Perlis was talking quietly with Lin Yujing. Lin Yujing didn't understand English, and Angie Perlis's Cantonese was a bit broken, so they had to rely on Feng Yunzhi had studied English, to help them explain things to each other.
"They're gone," Ji Wenming said to the three who had stopped chatting. "They came to have Ms. Lin sign a document, to formally transfer the right to use that small building on Ngau Tau Shan to her."
Angie Perlis looked at Ji Wenming, who wore high-end glasses with gold-rimmed frames and crystal lenses, a Movado- dot watch on his wrist, and an expensive Ji Wenming: "Lawyer Ji, is there anything unusual about the main text of the contract?"
"Time was too rushed, but fortunately the content wasn't much, only four pages. I only had time to memorize all the text; there wasn't time to study the details of each clause." Ji Wenming said, picking up his briefcase and taking out a stack of letter paper and a pen. "I'll go to the sofa in the living room and write down the contract from memory now."
Throughout, he maintained a gentle tone and calm expression. Although his voice was not loud, it conveyed a strong sense of confidence to the others. He smiled at the three of them and then turned to go to the living room.
"Wow, you can memorize the whole contract so quickly? I wish I could be like this Lawyer Ji, I'd always be number one in memorizing assignments." Although Feng Yunzhi didn't know why the Lawyer Ji needed to memorize the contract, he was impressed when he heard that the teacher had memorized it all.
Angie Perlis smiled at Feng Yunzhi, "It's impressive, but not too impressive. It's something you can do by regularly exercising your memory. Lawyers can't always look up reference books when discussing legal provisions, so their memory is indeed slightly better than the average person. Actually, your brother's memory is also amazing."
"Brother Yiu?" Feng Yunzhi blinked. "I didn't think Brother Yiu was as capable as Lawyer Ji. When we were kids, even when Grandpa asked him to memorize Tang poems, he couldn't memorize them as fast as I could. Wenwen told me that Brother Yiu became a secretary because of luck and his great courage. He became rich by following a big boss."
"When he first started working as a secretary for Likang Company, he memorized 2,300 phone numbers. He could dial directly without having to flip through the phone book when his boss asked him to, and he wouldn't dial the wrong number," Angie Perlis said with a smile to Feng Yunzhi. "That Miss Jiang came to visit you with me the other day is even more impressive. She doesn't need a phone book anymore because she's memorized the entire one. She knows over 4,000 phone numbers for various government departments and registered companies in Hong Kong Macau, and she can also remember the weekly flight schedules at Hong Kong Airport and the ferry schedules at the pier. After hearing all this, do you still think your brother got his job as a secretary by luck? Being a secretary isn't just about luck or working for a rich boss."
Lin Yujing listened with a smile to Angie Perlis talking to her daughter. She already knew the identity of this young Britain girl. Lou Fengyun, Meng Wanqing, and even Qi Weiwen would visit her from time to time. When those women came, Song Tianyao would call to inform them directly and wouldn't give much introduction. But this Britain woman was different. The first time she came, Song Tianyao personally accompanied her and earnestly introduced her to Lin Yujing as his girlfriend.
Looking at Angie Perlis in front of her, Lin Yujing couldn't help but want to laugh. She knew that Song Tianyao's grandfather, Song Chengqi, was a member of the Hung Mun, but she couldn't distinguish the relationship between the Hung Mun, the Boxer Rebellion, and other organizations. In short, they were all about expelling foreigners and overthrowing the Song Chengqi might have thought about expelling foreigners and the Manchus when he was young. She never expected that when he got old, her grandson would be preparing to marry a foreign woman.
"Aunt Lin, let's get back to what we were talking about earlier. Before you got married, or after your father passed away, did you see your father's will?"
"I know it exists, but I've never seen it." Lin Yujing when Angie Perlis asked her question.
Angie Perlis opened her beautiful eyes and looked intently at Lin Yujing: "You haven't seen it, but how do you know there's a will? Shouldn't a will be announced in public?"
Lin Yujing sighed and lowered her head, then looked up at Angie Perlis and said, "Back then, how could a girl be qualified to listen to such important matters? What difference did it make whether it was announced or not?"
For the past two days, Angie Perlis has been keeping her company and chatting with her about the will her father left behind after his death.
Song Tianyao thought that Lin Xizhen's death was sudden and that he must not have left a will. Unexpectedly, Lin Yujing said with certainty that there was a will. The First Madam said that Lin Xizhen had made a will before his death to prevent unforeseen circumstances, but Lin Yujing had never seen the will.
Lin Yujing is Lin Xizhen's daughter. Regardless of whether the will left her any inheritance, she has the right to know. Even her direct descendants were not notified. Angie Perlis believes that this will has no legal effect and is merely a so-called will in traditional China family society.
Therefore, Song Tianyao specially introduced Juliana Abbey and Angie Perlis to Lu Wenhui, hoping that Lu Wenhui could provide convenience for the two in Hong Kong. Although the Lu Family did not intend to help Song Tianyao for the time being, providing legal assistance to everyone was a normal business of the law firm. Lu Wenhui arranged for Ji Wenming to be with Angie Perlis. Ji Wenming was not only a practicing lawyer at Lu Wenjin Law Firm, but also Lu Wenhui's niece-in-law. In some ways, Lu Wenhui had already helped Song Tianyao a little.
