‘He is very filial to his girlfriend,’ one netizen commented.
Recently, a court in Wuhan (Hubei Province, China) heard a legal dispute over the will of a deceased man, surnamed Cao. According to the will, the assets he left to his new girlfriend included: a house worth 4 million yuan (nearly 14 billion VND), a Mercedes-Benz and 1 million yuan in the bank, according to 163.
Son left all his assets to his new girlfriend, forcing his parents to file a lawsuit.
It is known that Mr. Cao had a terminal illness for more than a year. At the same time, he was dating his girlfriend, Ms. Vuong, and their relationship was progressing well.
However, Cao’s parents did not agree with the will that their son left to his girlfriend, because the house was bought with their own money for their son. Meanwhile, Ms. Vuong believed that she had the legal right to own the property, because everything was clear in the will.
The “war” was unlikely to end, as both sides could not reach an agreement. In the end, the court issued a verdict, Ms. Vuong received the Mercedes-Benz and Cao’s savings, worth 1 million yuan (nearly 3.5 billion VND). She also received an additional 600,000 yuan (about 2 billion VND) from her boyfriend’s parents to get their house back.
The incident has become a controversial topic in China. Many people have questioned the late son’s decision to leave all his assets to his girlfriend.
One person wrote: “Does this guy not like his parents?”. Another person was curious: “His parents had to pay an extra 600,000 yuan for what he bought? Strange, right?!”. Another person expressed his opinion: “Parents worked hard to earn money to buy a house for their children. It’s hard to imagine him giving the results of his work to his girlfriend, whom he’s only known for a year.”
Many Chinese netizens also criticized Ms. Vuong for being greedy and gold-digging. However, there are still opinions that people should respect the final decision of the deceased, instead of arguing.
