Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Panda Novel

The lawyer looked as if she valued Qiao Nan’s opinion a lot. It was as though if she said a point in time, she would agree unconditionally and everything would be subjected to her wishes.

“Let’s wait for a while.” Qiao Nan only received the letter and wasn’t in a rush to read the contents of Elder Lin’s will. She didn’t expect her master to actually leave a will. Qiao Nan knew that there would be a lot of people sending these two old men off today and really didn’t have the time.

Qiao Nan’s stomach growled at twelve in the afternoon. She was too hungry. Only then did she take a half-an-hour break.

Qiao Nan used the time she was having her meal to read the letter Elder Lin left for her first.

This was an extremely short letter and there were only a few sentences on it. “What are you crying for? A good-for-nothing. You can just cry a little. Remember. I accepted quite a number of disciples in this lifetime, but the triplets are the only ones who get my approval. Help me teach them well. Otherwise, I’ll starve you in the future.”

When Elder Lin was still alive, he often joked to Qiao Nan that he was really a ‘failure’ in life. He didn’t even have any close relatives by his side. Those who stayed approached him only for his status and net worth.

He didn’t care for such relatives.

It was just that as a traditional Chinese man, he couldn’t help but worry that if he passed away someday, would he be in such a pitiful state that there wouldn’t be anyone mourning him? If that was really the case, he wouldn’t have any face left to see his old friends and the familiar faces in heaven.

Jokes aside, the letter Elder Lin left behind showed more clearly how much he valued and loved Qiao Nan. Mourning? It was fine to shed a few tears so that people knew that he wasn’t a failure when he was alive. There wasn’t a need for anything more. After all, there was a profession called mourning in this world.

“Hello, Ms. Qiao. Do you have the time now to listen to the will Mr. Lin left behind?” The lawyer had been waiting for Qiao Nan. She would rather not waste her time and delay reading Elder Lin’s will.

Those who came to pay their respects in the mourning hall today were big shots. Even the main contact for Elder Lin’s will was the old elder’s daughter-in-law. As long as anyone he met today took a shot at her, she could definitely be played to her death.

In the face of such a strong and powerful formation, the lawyer didn’t dare to harbor any thoughts.

After reading Elder Lin’s thoughts, Qiao Nan was forced by Zhai Hua to take a few mouthfuls of porridge. If it wasn’t for the sake of leading those four children, Qiao Nan wouldn’t have taken even these few mouthfuls of porridge. In the end, she choked and swallowed it down. “Tell me. What did my master leave behind? Are there any words left for me?”

The lawyer took out documents from her briefcase and placed them in front of Qiao Nan one by one. “Ms. Qiao, please take a look. These are the legal assets Elder Lin owned when he was still alive. This is a summary sheet. If you don’t have any issues, I hope that you can sign on it. I’ll handle all the procedures for you to inherit Elder Lin’s inheritance and try not to cause you any trouble. You can be busy with Elder Lin’s funeral wholeheartedly.”

Thinking of the contents in that summary sheet, the lawyer couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She felt ‘greedy’ at the sight of the contents and numbers on the summary sheet.

If finding a master could earn her so much wealth and let her turn into a billionaire overnight, all the godfathers, etc. would have been eliminated as they wouldn’t be useful to her.

“My master handed all of these over to me? Did you make a mistake?” Qiao Nan wasn’t stunned by the wealth that seemed to have fallen from the sky. She just didn’t dare to believe that her master would make such a will.

“It’s true. This will is definitely legitimate. Elder Lin was accompanied by a doctor when he came over to our law firm to make a will. The doctor can vouch that Elder Lin had a clear mind and wasn’t manipulated by anyone when he was making this will. This will is definitely legally-binding,” the lawyer said agitatedly. Their law firm had quite a good reputation thus far.

If the law firm’s reputation got damaged because of this small doubt, how would they make a living in the future?

“Don’t be agitated. I’m not suspecting that this will is fake…” She just didn’t understand why her master left everything behind for her alone. Most importantly, this will was as short and simple as the letter he had left behind. Her name was the only one which appeared in the will. The triplets weren’t even mentioned.

She initially thought that if her master had left behind a will, the benefactors would be the triplets instead.

Looking at the astronomical figures left by Elder Lin for herself, Qiao Nan immediately got the lawyer to do another thing.

The lawyer was very surprised. “Madam Qiao, are you sure you want to do this? You have to understand that ten million yuan is not a small sum.” Even if ten million yuan wasn’t considered a huge sum in the will Elder Lin left behind, it was still a significant amount to an average person. However, Qiao Nan wanted to use the ten million yuan to do charity, supporting and taking care of those lonely elderly who didn’t have any relatives by their sides.

Qiao Nan nodded and was very sure. “Yes. This is what I mean. I hope you can help get this done as soon as possible.”

How could Qiao Nan not have understood why the lawyer was so shocked? Until 2015, the monthly salary of an average person ranged from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. Using 5,000 yuan as an example, even if there was only inflow and no outflow, the annual salary would only be 60,000 yuan.

Ten million yuan. This was the amount of money a worker with an average monthly salary of 5,000 yuan couldn’t earn in a lifetime unless they had a working life span of 167 years!

Furthermore, it wasn’t 2015 yet. It was only 2008. It will take 167 years to earn ten million yuan for the wages that would rise seven years later. As for 2008, it will take more than two hundred years for a working adult to earn that amount of money.

One had to know that such a figure was something Qiao Nan didn’t even dare to imagine in her previous life.

She was already satisfied that she could afford the down payment of a house in Ping Cheng, a second-tier or third-tier city, with the money she saved. However, she didn’t even feel anything in her heart now that she had donated ten million yuan to charity. “I hope that the elderly who don’t have anyone to lean on in society would receive more care and attention. They had worked hard for the construction and development of the country. We shouldn’t let them be lonely and poor in old age.”

The reason why Qiao Nan did so was certainly because of Elder Lin.
