Chapter 1: Receive a Valuable Inheritance
"Pfft—you, say it again, how much…how much?!"

An excited female voice slamming the table suddenly rang out in the quiet coffee shop.

The guests were startled by the sudden noise and looked in the direction of the sound.

In that inconspicuous corner of the coffee shop, a thrilling scene was happening——

A pretty young woman in a white casual suit and a high ponytail suddenly stood up and sprayed a mouthful of coffee at her companion sitting opposite her.

Fortunately, the man, who was about thirty years old, dressed neatly and appropriately in a suit, reacted quickly.

The moment she was about to spit out the coffee, he quickly turned his body and picked up the briefcase on the table to block it.

"Miss Bai, I know you are very excited, but please don't get excited yet!"

The man who had successfully escaped the danger tried to calm down the woman who was attracting strange looks from people around her.

"Hug...sorry!"

Bai Yanan, with a look of disbelief on her face, realized that she had overreacted and quickly took a tissue from the table and handed it to the man.

"It's hard for most people to get excited when encountering such a thing."

The man said politely, took the tissue she handed him, and wiped the briefcase that was splashed with coffee.

After seeing her sit down calmly, he spoke again.

"In addition to the 3 million yuan in deposits, there is also a villa in a prime location in Sheng City and % of the shares of Zhou Group."

Once again, I heard the news from this man named Cheng Jing, who claimed to be the attorney for Mr. Zhou of the Zhou Group.

The unknown writer Bai Yanan is even more stupid than the stupid fruit on the stupid tree.

The only connection she had with Mr. Zhou, the boss of the most prestigious Zhou Group in Sheng City, was that she had taken care of him for more than a year when she worked as a nurse in the hospital.

Ever since Mr. Zhou passed away half a year ago, she resigned from the hospital due to work and has not had any contact with the Zhou family.

Suddenly someone came to him and said that Mr. Zhou had left him a huge inheritance.

It’s still three hundred million! Not thirty cents!
She had only seen such enormous wealth in novels.

She has lived for twenty-five years and has never believed in pie falling from the sky, only in traps falling from the sky.

Her first reaction when she heard the news: a new type of scam!
But when she opened the will that Cheng Jing handed to her, it was written in black and white and stamped with the official seal.

Her hand wavered again as she opened the anti-fraud app.

Her name was indeed written on the will.

But this inheritance is not an unconditional gift.

She needs to become the designated guardian of a person named Zhou Weiyi.

Just when I was wondering who this person was, I saw a photo attached.

He was a handsome boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing hospital gown and leaning on the hospital bed.

The photo was probably taken unintentionally. In the photo, he was staring at the sunflowers beside him in a daze. A ray of sunlight just happened to shine through the window onto him and the flowers, and his whole body seemed to be emitting a faint glow.

The boy in the photo looks warm and beautiful.

She was very surprised when she was told that he was Mr. Zhou's adopted son.

Mr. Zhou was over 70 years old when he passed away. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Why did he adopt such a young child?

But what puzzled her even more was that for the wealthy Zhou family, it would not be difficult to take care of one more person, so why did they spend such a huge amount of money to appoint an outsider like her as the guardian?

When she reasonably suspected that Mr. Zhou was confused when he made the will, Cheng Jing told her with certainty that there was nothing wrong with the entire process.

As for why the Zhou family was unwilling to take care of it and let her take responsibility, Cheng Jing did not hide it from her.

"He has mental problems."

"I want to be the guardian of a mentally ill person?!"

She didn't mean to discriminate against the mentally ill, she was just too shocked. She did have experience in caring for patients, but she had never been a guardian for someone who lacked civil capacity!
Perhaps because he was afraid of scaring her away, he informed her of the other person's mental state while also quickly informing her of his current condition.

She learned that the other party's condition was now stable and there was someone taking care of him. She didn't need to take care of him personally and only needed to show up when necessary.

At first glance, it doesn't seem that difficult.

But on second thought, if it was really that simple, it would be impossible for an outsider like her to have the chance.

"I'm not blessed with such a good thing! You should go find someone else!"

She considered this a hot potato and did not want to get involved in such trouble.

After making her attitude clear, she didn't want to talk any more, so she picked up her bag and left.

In fact, the more straightforward Bai Yanan refused, the more regretful she was when she left.

Three hundred million!

What a huge villa!
And 25% of the shares of the Zhou family business!
This is all money! How many novels do I have to write and how many scripts do I have to take on to earn that much?
It was clearly right within my reach now. I could have it all by just agreeing to a small request, but I ended up rejecting it so outright!
Am I stupid?

Bai Yanan regretted as she walked.

The result was that I couldn't sleep or eat for the next few days after knowing the news.

She does not have the noble awareness of treating money as dirt. On the contrary, her wish is to get rich quickly.

One day, she felt more and more frustrated, and with her strong execution ability, she appeared at the door of St. Toan Psychiatric Hospital with sunflowers in her hands.

She wanted to meet the child who needed her guardian before making a final decision.

Originally, she was worried that if she went there rashly, she might not be able to get into the nursing home.

She soon realized that she was worrying too much.

She just gave her name without saying who she was looking for, and the people in the nursing home immediately welcomed her in warmly.

She was still wondering why the security of this place was so wrong when she got the answer from the female nurse who led the way.

It turned out that Cheng Jing had already greeted the people inside in advance.

Cheng Jing didn't know when she would come, but he just told the hospital that she could come in anytime.

However, it must be said that Saint-Toan is worthy of being the best psychiatric sanatorium in Sheng City.

Walking on the road feels like visiting a beautiful resort.

Bai Yanan had no intention of appreciating it. Along the way, she was asking the nurse about Zhou Weiyi's condition.

He has always been cooperative in treatment and taking medicine, and he doesn't make any noise. He likes to read or daydream quietly.

After receiving mostly positive feedback, she felt much more at ease, although she was originally unsure.

The caregiver took Bai Yanan to a place not far from a big tree and stopped, pointing to a bench that was half blocked by the tree.

Tell her that someone is reading there at this time, and then leave.

Unexpectedly, just as she approached the chair and was about to go around to the front, a book suddenly flew towards her!

She was a little slow to react and was hit on the head by the flying book.

Under normal circumstances, she would have beaten the guy up.

While comforting myself that I shouldn't bother with the people here, I picked up the book on the ground.

"Little boy, it is not...right...to throw books around randomly..."

When she picked up the book, handed it forward, and saw the other person's expression clearly, she was dumbfounded again.

The people sitting on the bench are not children at all!

Instead, he was a tall, thin and handsome young man in his early twenties, nearly 1.8 meters tall!
