Chapter 2: You can inherit a fortune of 2.7 billion, provided that you take care of Tang Jie.

"Continue..."

Although Pei Zhao hadn't figured out the situation yet, his body instinctively led him to say those words.

"Alright, since there is nothing wrong with your health, we will continue with the reading of the will in ten minutes. Young Master Tang is waiting for you in the conference room. If you have rested well, please let me know."

The man in a tailored suit smiled and helped Pei Zhao to lean against the head of the bed before turning around to leave. However, he ended up making a loop just before reaching the door and turned back again.

Actually... I believe you have no reason to worry at all. Mr. Tang has left behind a huge inheritance, and all you need to do is take care of the young master for the time being. Legally speaking, you won't have any relationship with them. As long as you take care of him temporarily, you can immediately inherit this fortune. For you, this is a situation where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. You can rest assured."

......

Pei Zhao simply watched him silently without uttering a word. In fact, he was merely confused and didn't quite understand. However, this appearance of his was perceived by the other person as calm contemplation. As the other person fervently worshipped and praised him, Pei Zhao's mind was spinning madly.

On the bridge of the nose, there were no glasses, and the vision became somewhat blurry. Instinctively, the hand reached for the bedside, unexpectedly finding a pair of glasses. The vision became clear, and the mind began to sort out thoughts.

On the headboard, there was still his mobile phone. Is this not his phone? The brand is different. What brand is this? He has lived for so many years and has never seen a phone of this brand before. Could it be that he slept for a while, and even the phones have undergone a revolution?

"No password on the phone? Information... information..."

"Professor Pei, are you ready? We are about to continue reading the will," Pei Zhao was interrupted by a knock on the door before he could read the message.

Get up, straightened his clothes and walked out.

He wanted to see who was the one that brought him to this place. The crucial point was that he didn't feel anything at all. Could it be that someone drugged him?

"Professor Pei, you're here? How's your health, feeling any better?"

Without realizing it, Pei Zhao's slight nod of acknowledgement in response to the other person speaking to him, without actually making a sound, was gradually aligning with that person's actions.

"So let's continue reading Mr. Tang Yin's will... "

After sitting down, Pei Zhao finally noticed the young man sitting across from him. The youth had his head down, and his hair was slightly long, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly. However, Pei Zhao could still discern his features based on the outline. Pei Zhao didn't pay much attention and merely glanced at him before shifting his gaze away.

In the instant he averted his gaze, the young man's eyes immediately stuck onto him. His gaze scanned directly over, as if a scanner, thoroughly examining Pei Zhao from head to toe.

The gaze carried a sense of bloodlust and scrutiny. Pei Zhao had just arrived in this place, and for a moment his alertness was somewhat low. He didn't notice the scorching gaze of the other party. Instead, he looked at the lawyer who was reading the will, unaware that his unconscious action was seen by the youth as a desire for the inheritance.

Mr. Tang's inheritance is divided into thirty-nine portions, including eighteen immovable assets and twenty-one movable assets. This includes seventeen properties, twelve villas, and five apartments. The size and area of each house are clearly listed in the will, and copies of the inheritance distribution will be provided later. The other four movable assets consist of Mr. Tang's shares in various companies. The eighteen immovable assets include funds and fixed insurance stored in banks by Mr. Tang and assets held overseas. The unlocking method for these eighteen immovable assets is known only to Professor Pei. Young Master Tang is not privy to this information. After a preliminary evaluation by the bank, the total estimated value of Mr. Tang's entire inheritance is 2.7 billion RMB.

"Professor Pei, you can inherit this legacy, but... at the same time, you must fulfill the task entrusted to you by Mr. Tang. That is... to take care of his son, Tang Jie, who has lost a year due to failing the college entrance examination and needs to retake it. Mr. Pei, you will need to take care of Tang Jie throughout this year, until he finishes the examination and gets accepted into a university. Otherwise... you will not be eligible to inherit the legacy, and the bank will manage it, providing only the monthly living expenses for Young Master Tang. Now that the reading of the will is over, Mr. Pei, what is your decision?"

The lawyer closed the thick stack of documents in his hand and looked at Pei Zhao, as if waiting for his answer.

In the moment he heard the name, Pei Zhao was astounded.

He had already been pondering when he heard the name Tang Jie just now. He had a strong feeling of familiarity with this name, but he couldn't recall it. Before he could react, he heard someone calling him Pei Lv...

Pei Lü...

Pei Lv... Pei Lv?!

That is not the character that only appeared once in the book, the sickly male supporting character's father's friend?!

Is it? He shouldn't be mistaken, it's that silly dog-blood story!

I'm speechless!

What's going on with him? Where is he now? Wasn't he sleeping? How did he end up here as soon as he opened his eyes?!

Looking up again, the young man opposite him was staring at him again. He said he always felt a chill down his back, so it turns out... this kid is that terrifying T-turned person, who also has psychological issues, and is the yandere male supporting character who killed many people in the novel?!

I can't believe it! He must not have done anything excessive just now. After carefully recalling, it seems like there really wasn't anything... So why is this kid looking at him like that?

Cannot... I have to let him... let him calm down... let him calm down...

"Professor Pei? Are you... all right?"

In the eyes of outsiders at this moment, Pei Zhao's complexion kept alternating between green and white, and his eyes were fixed on Tang Jie, but with a hint of evasion.

They should understand when things have come to this point. Could it be... they are afraid of taking on the responsibility as guardians and don't want to bring Young Master Tang back home to raise him?

No way, isn't he just a kid? With such a large sum of money in front of him, it's just a recently turned adult! What is there to be afraid of?

After reading the entire novel "Can You Love Me Today," Pei Zhao, who stood from a God's perspective, was certainly not something they could understand. Everything that Pei Zhao knew was far beyond their imagination, something they would never believe.

He had fallen asleep and woke up in this unfamiliar place, but now he was being asked to take care of this spoiled male supporting character. What on earth did this mean?

"Professor Pei? Are you alright? Would you like to rest a bit more?"

Pei Zhao's throat felt extremely uncomfortable, as if something was lodged there. "No... no need, let me consider it, I need to think it over..."

The lawyer has dealt with so many wills of the deceased, but this is the first time encountering such a composed relative who is about to inherit such a large estate. Moreover, they appear somewhat embarrassed. Professor Pei truly lives up to his reputation as an honorable and upright scholar, just as the newspaper described - a person of integrity and a breath of fresh air!

The lawyer sincerely expressed admiration, unaware of how much Pei Zhao, who had left, actually longed for C Heaven R Earth at this moment. This is so damn ridiculous!
