Chapter 384: Inheritance Competition
five minutes later.

All the guests entered and the funeral banquet officially began.

But, what no one expected was.

As soon as the funeral banquet began, Choi Sulli's parents suddenly couldn't wait to hold her portrait, stand on the stage, and say into the microphone:
"Thank you all for coming today. Now, we will announce a piece of news to you on behalf of Shirley."

"Our daughter, Choi Sulli, will completely terminate her contract with SM Entertainment and will no longer have any connection with it."

"In addition, we have decided to withdraw from all charity activities and donations she had done during her lifetime."

"I hope everyone can understand. We have just gotten over the pain of losing our daughter and don't want to be tied down by these things any longer."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Choi Sulli's parents in amazement, their eyes full of disbelief.

They never thought that Choi Sulli's parents would say such things.

Even Jin Qixuan was stunned.

No wonder there are rumors online that Choi Sulli’s parents are vampires who sucked their daughter’s blood.

Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation!
Before their daughter's body was even cold, they were already thinking about how to squeeze out the last bit of value from her.

"Wife, have Choi Sulli's parents always been like this?"

Jin Qixuan couldn't help but turn around and ask Li Zhien.

"Ah."

Li Zhien nodded gently and said:
"Sulli once told me that she was like a tool for her parents to make money. They would only smile when she gave them money."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan sneered.

He finally understood why Choi Sulli would rather live in an apartment outside than go home.

With parents like this, how can home still be called home?

But after all, this is someone else's family affair.

Even if these people were outraged and felt that Choi Sulli was treated unfairly, they could not interfere in other people's family affairs.

After Choi Sulli's parents finished their words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.

The guests looked at each other in silence. The scene was very awkward for a while.

……

The funeral banquet lasted until late at night.

Logically speaking, it should be the deceased's closest relatives who come to keep vigil.

But Choi Sulli's situation is somewhat special.

After her parents counted the gifts from the banquet, they went to fight for her huge inheritance.

According to conservative estimates, her assets are worth at least 200 billion won.

The house where she committed suicide in Gyeonggi Province alone is estimated to be worth more than 60 billion won.

However, it remains to be seen whether a haunted house can be sold at a good price.

Because of this, her parents were too lazy to keep vigil.

As for her brother Choi Kun-hee, he was sent to an empty room to rest after fainting because he cried so hard before.

Helplessly, the people who kept vigil became Krystal Jung, Captain Song, and our Ji Eun.

Of course, even if there are family members keeping vigil, these three of Choi Sulli’s closest relatives will still be here to keep vigil.

During this period, Jin Qixuan observed Li Zhien more than once, fearing that her emotions would suddenly collapse.

But to his surprise, Lee Ji-eun acted very resilient, completely different from how she was at home last night.

Apart from occasionally daydreaming, there was almost nothing unusual.

She even comforted Zheng Xiujing who was crying so hard that she lost her image...

However, the more she did this, the more worried Jin Qixuan became.

Because he was afraid that Lee Ji-eun would hide her sadness, and then it would slowly accumulate to the point where it could not be reversed.

So, Jin Qixuan called Li Changdong and told him about his situation.

He also said that no matter how much loss was caused by his delay in filming, he would bear it all without any complaints.

"It's okay. You can shoot again when you are ready."

Come to think of it, Lee Chang-dong has only made a few movies in his life.

Therefore, he doesn't care whether the film takes a few months or a few years.

As long as he can produce good works, that's enough.

Besides, the shooting of this movie is almost finished.

It will be completed in half a month at most.

After listening to Lee Chang-dong's words, Kim Ki-hyeon was really moved.

In fact, when Han Hyo Joo turned down the role, Kim Ki-Hyun heard Lee Chang-dong say this.

It’s just that the feeling of telling it to others and telling it to yourself is really different.

"Thank you, director."

Thousands of words came out of Jin Qixuan's throat, but in the end they only turned into this one sentence.

"Well, don't be polite to me. You are welcome to come back anytime."

Li Changdong chuckled and hung up the phone.

Watching the phone screen gradually go dark, Jin Qixuan was overwhelmed with emotions.

Just then, footsteps were heard behind him.

Turning around, it was Choi Sulli's brother Choi Kun-hee.

At this moment, although his eyes were still red and his face was pale, it could be seen that he had regained consciousness.

"Hello, Jin Qixuanxi, I am Shirley's brother, Choi Jianxi."

Choi Kun-hee came to stand in front of Jin Qixuan and extended his right hand.

Jin Qixuan was stunned when he heard this, but still shook hands with him politely.

"Ah, hello, I'm Jin Qixuan."

"Yeah, I know, can I talk to you about it?"

"can."

Jin Qixuan nodded, made a gesture of invitation to him, and said, "Let's go talk outside."

"Thank you."

Choi Kun-hee thanked him and followed Kim Ki-hyeon out of the mourning hall.

The night deepens and the moon hangs high in the sky.

The two walked in silence all the way to the lawn outside.

Cui Jianxi then stopped, turned around and looked at Jin Qixuan, and said:

"I know you and Shirley are not familiar with each other, but I am just an ordinary person with very little energy, so I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Please say."

Jin Qixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and waited for what was to come.

"Shirley was a very kind child, but she never had a happy life."

"Now that Shirley has finally left this dirty world, I don't want her to not be able to rest in peace even after death."

"So, I hope to ask Jin Qixuanxi to help me win the right to inherit Shirley's estate!"

"I'm not after Shirley's money, but I don't want my parents to get that money."

"I know exactly what kind of people my parents are."

"When Shirley was alive, they always treated her as a cash cow. Now that she is dead, they will definitely find ways to get her inheritance and squander it all."

"As for the money, I won't take a penny. I'll leave it all to Shirley to set up a foundation to help people who suffer from depression like her."

"I didn't want her death to be meaningless."

Having said that, Choi Kun-hee actually leaned down towards Kim Ki-hyeon, wanting to pay his respects.

"please!"

"I know this request is presumptuous, but I really don't know who to turn to. I..."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan dodged to the side and hurriedly reached out to support Choi Kun-hee.

To be honest, Jin Qixuan is not a good man. He has no obligation to help strangers fight for the inheritance, and he doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

After all, he has done the most by coming to pay his respects.

However, looking at Choi Kun-hee's extremely expectant eyes, Jin Qixuan finally softened his heart.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.

"Choi Kun-hee, you get up first. I don't like looking down at others. My neck will get sore."

"well."

Hearing this, Choi Kun-hee quickly stood up straight.

Jin Qixuan then spoke:

"I need to think about your request first. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

"I understand, I understand."

Cui Jianxi nodded repeatedly and said:
"Whether Jin Qixuanxi considers it or not, I thank you for listening to my unreasonable request."

"Of course, if Jin Qixuanxi is willing to help, I am willing to give you 10% of my inheritance, no, 20% of my inheritance as a thank you."

Jin Qixuan smiled when he heard this. He looked at Cui Jianxi with a smile, which made Cui Jianxi feel uneasy. Then he spoke lightly, saying:
"Let's not talk about whether I will agree to you or not. Just to say that you are not thinking."

"Do you think I'm someone who needs that little money?"

Choi Kun-hee was stunned and immediately looked embarrassed.

Only then did he remember that Jin Qixuan was ranked number one on the Peninsula Forbes Celebrity List, so how could he be interested in such a small amount of money?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Jin Qixuanxi, I was rude."

Looking at Choi Kun-hee's embarrassed look, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Let me ask you a few questions."

"Excuse me, as long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."

Jin Qixuan nodded slightly and said:
"First question, do your parents treat you and Choi Sulli differently?"

"Yes."

Cui Jianxi answered without any hesitation:
"They favored boys over girls. They were very nice to me, but very bad to Shirley. They would beat and scold her at any time."

"The second question is, are you willing to give up your inheritance rights to help Shirley fight for the inheritance?"

"I am willing."

Cui Jianxi still answered very straightforwardly, saying:

"To be honest, Jin Qixuanxi, I have decided to sever ties with my parents."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't expect that Choi Kun-hee would be so ruthless.

However, by doing this, he proved that he really loves his sister Choi Sulli.

"The third question is, can you ensure that after you get the inheritance, it will all be used to establish a foundation to help patients with depression like her?"

"I can."

Cui Jianxi nodded vigorously and said firmly:
"I swear!"

"last question……"

Jin Qixuan looked into his eyes and asked word by word:

"You are not allowed to hold any position in the foundation, and the flow of every penny of money must be open and transparent. Can you do that?"

"This……"

Choi Kun-hee hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, he did not want to give up the management rights of the foundation.

It's not that he was greedy for anything, but he wanted to do something for his sister personally.

But looking at Jin Qixuan's deep eyes, Choi Kun-hee knew that if he said no, Jin Qixuan would probably not agree to help.

But if he gave up the management rights, he couldn't guarantee what the future of the foundation would be like.

After all, human nature is the most fragile thing.

For a time, Choi Kun-hee was in a dilemma.

Seeing Cui Jianxi's tangled look, Jin Qixuan knew what he was thinking and said lightly:
"You can think about it carefully before answering me."

"Don't think about it."

Cui Jianxi gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as I can help Shirley establish the foundation, I can give up the management rights. At the same time, I will also monitor the flow of every penny to ensure openness and transparency."

Jin Qixuan looked at him deeply and said:
"What you say is unfounded."

"I am willing to sign a document!"

Choi Kun-hee answered without thinking.

"it is good."

Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"Then go back and draw up a contract. If I think it's okay, I can help you with it."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Choi Kun-hee was immediately excited and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"However, I won't show up in person. I'll just find someone to help you."

"Also, I can't guarantee that this will succeed. I can only say that I will do my best."

"After all, your parents are the first in line to the throne."

"I understand, I understand."

Cui Jianxi nodded repeatedly and said:
"As long as Jin Qixuanxi is willing to help, I will be very grateful regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

"Well, then go and draft the contract first, and come back to me when you're done."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Choi Kun-hee bowed again to express his gratitude, and then left in a hurry.

Looking at Choi Kun-hee's departing back, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Jin Qixuan was thinking about how he should intervene in this matter.

After all, this is the Cui family's family affair.

If you don't handle it well, you will get into trouble.

After much thought, Jin Qixuan decided to call Li Changdong to ask.

After all, this was the only person he knew who had been in politics, albeit for only 16 months.

The phone rang four times and then was connected.

"Director Nim, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late."

"If you really feel sorry, you shouldn't have called me. I'm so old, sleep is very important, okay?"

"..."

Jin Qixuan was suddenly speechless.

This old man is so arrogant...

Seeing that Jin Qixuan didn't say anything, Li Cangdong smiled and said:
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I haven't slept yet. I'm studying how to shoot after you have another role."

"..."

It hurts my heart twice.

"Cough cough."

After coughing twice, Jin Qixuan stated his purpose.

After listening, Lee Chang-dong also fell silent.

After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"It depends on whether you want to make this matter more troublesome or simpler."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan asked curiously:
"How do you say simple, and how do you say troublesome?"

"To put it simply, we just need to find someone with power to put pressure on the relevant departments and ask them to intervene in the investigation."

"After all, since the girl's parents could do such a thing to her, they must not be any better in their daily lives."

"As long as you investigate carefully, you will definitely find something."

"When the time comes, we can use this as an excuse to deprive them of their inheritance rights."

"As for trouble, you know the Crucible Law and the Suyuan Law, right?"

"We can call on the public to petition for Choi Sulli, and then establish a special civil law that parents who violate their obligation to raise their children shall not have the right of inheritance."

"However, doing so will take a long time and may not necessarily succeed."

"After all, the nature of this incident has not reached the level of outrage that "The Crucible" and "Hope" have caused."

After listening to Lee Chang-dong's story, Kim Ki-hyeon fell silent.

Of these two methods, the second one is undoubtedly more reliable.

Moreover, it is more meaningful.

"Director, is there a simpler and more convenient way?"

"Yes, just leave it alone."

"..."

Jin Qixuan's mouth twitched.

This is not the method I want!
"But I've already promised Choi Gun-hee that I'll be Choi Sulli's brother."

"Oh, I've given you a plan. As for which one to use, you decide for yourself. It's getting late, and I need to rest."

After saying that, Li Changdong hung up the phone.

"..."

Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the phone, Jin Qixuan sighed helplessly.

Speaking of which, when it comes to the influence of artists in the peninsula, Jin Qixuan is undoubtedly the most influential.

The only ones who have more fans on Instagram than him are the girls in BLACKPINK.

But he has decided not to deal with this matter personally.

Therefore, it is natural to find a few suitable spokespersons.

The first person Jin Qixuan thought of was "Peninsula Zhou Shuren" - Liu Yaren.

He is very suitable to be the vanguard of this "charge into battle".
