Chapter 578 - 561: The Inheritance Issue
Nie Zhan had said he would come back the next day, but by evening he had still not shown up. Jiaxin became worried and called the hotel where Nie Zhan had been staying, only to learn that he had already checked out. She was not reassured, so she made a call to Nie Jingwen.
Upon hearing the situation, Nie Jingwen responded promptly, "Don’t worry, I’ll make a call and ask around."
Nie Zhan’s mobile phone could not be used in Switzerland, so he had called Antonio, Nie Manlin’s husband, and learned that Nie Zhan still had some matters to deal with and had not returned yet.
Knowing he was fine, Lu Jiaxin was then at ease.
It wasn’t until past seven in the evening that Nie Zhan returned the call and explained why he hadn’t come back that day, "My mom told me this morning that she wanted me to give her the things left by Great-Grandma."
Logically, these items indeed should be given to her, but that Antonio was no good. If these items were handed over to his mom, they would end up in Antonio’s hands immediately.
"What do you think?"
Nie Zhan paused before saying, "Today she told me that the items were left by Great-Grandma and that if I hoarded them, she would sue me in court. Jiaxin, I don’t want to keep these things anymore."
That last sentence chilled him.
Jiaxin was also somewhat fed up, but she was very rational as she said, "We can’t just give them to her like that. The items are in Hong Kong, and if she wants to sue, she’ll definitely have to come back to Hong Kong. By then, we can add fuel to the flames and make this situation widely known."
Nie Zhan had not expected her to suggest this, and he said with a touch of difficulty, "Grandpa won’t agree."
