Chapter 66: The First Inheritance

Jiang Sui pondered for a moment.

In the original script of this world, there was hardly any mention of Jiang Sui’s background. If she hadn’t become Jiang Sui herself, this character would have merely served as a backdrop to highlight Bai Xixue. She had initially assumed this was the start of a classic reversal tale, but she never expected her father to leave her such a substantial inheritance.

Five billion!

With so much money, what could possibly be beyond her reach?

“So, I must get married to be eligible for the inheritance?” she squinted slightly.

Zhao Xin nodded. “According to your father’s will, you must be married to qualify for inheriting this sum. The specifics are detailed in the will.”

He paused before continuing, “Wanhe Corporation is a family business. Your father was the younger son of its chairman. Mr. Jiang said that if you wish to sever ties with Wanhe Corporation, you may sell your shares. Alternatively, you could leverage your equity to join Wanhe Corporation.”

At this moment, Jiang Sui felt her father had been unexpectedly considerate. The only catch was that she had to marry to gain inheritance rights.

Couldn’t he have let her be a single, wealthy woman?

Zhao Xin observed Jiang Sui, watching her lower her eyes in contemplation, her face tinged with a faint melancholy. He assumed she was mourning her father.

It made sense. After all, discovering how much one’s biological father had thoughtfully planned for them after his death would move anyone.

“I’m already married. Let’s proceed with the process. By the way, should I send you a photo of the marriage certificate or mail you the original?” Jiang Sui suddenly spoke.

Zhao Xin replied, “…Either is fine.”

Was her longing for her father so brief?

“What about those frozen bank cards of my father?”

“That was arranged by Mr. Jiang as well,” Zhao Xin replied honestly. “When you begin the inheritance procedures, the cards will be unfrozen and the funds transferred to your name.”

Jiang Sui took a sip of coffee. “Hmm, it’s my first time inheriting an estate. I don’t quite understand many things. Sorry for the trouble.”

Zhao Xin: “……”

Jiang Sui was somewhat excited about becoming a five-billion heiress, but she couldn’t show it too much—otherwise she’d seem gauche.

But—

After so many times crossing over, it was the first time she ever inherited anything!

Though her heart raced, Jiang Sui maintained a calm facade as she picked up her coffee and took a gentle sip.

Zhao Xin was a bit surprised; he had expected her to be overwhelmed, perhaps even shouting and screaming, but she appeared unfazed. She was extraordinarily composed, and carried herself with a poised, commanding air befitting someone of high status.

Truly, she was Mr. Jiang’s daughter, possessing the same elite bearing.

As he gazed at Jiang Sui, lost in thought, he suddenly noticed her eyes shifting toward him, openly scrutinizing him.

For some reason, her gaze made him feel oddly uncomfortable.

“Are you my father’s lawyer?” she asked, her tone casual and a little languid.

“Yes,” he replied.

“Where do you work now?”

“I have my own law firm,” Zhao Xin answered.

Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow. “Then from now on, you’ll be my legal advisor. Whatever my father paid you, I’ll pay you the same. Of course, besides serving as my advisor, you’re free to take on other cases as long as it doesn’t conflict with my schedule. What do you think?”

Zhao Xin was momentarily stunned.
