“Hello, Lawyer Lin. My name is Shen Hui. Jing Heng told me your contact information.” Shen Hui took a deep breath and quickly explained her purpose of calling.

Lin Rui paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, but he quickly reacted. “Yes, yes, yes. Jing Heng told me before. It’s sister-in-law, right? Because of the demolition money?”

“Sister-in-law?” Shen Hui looked at Jing Heng in confusion. Were the two of them that close?

Jing Heng raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything. Instead, he signaled Shen Hui to continue the conversation with his eyes.

“Yes, Brother Heng and I have a very good relationship. Today, he contacted me and said that he was married. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t expect sister-in-law to call me this afternoon.” Lin Rui’s voice came from the other end of the phone again, obviously, he was very excited, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

“Get to the point!” Jing Heng reminded him from the side, hinting at what Lin Rui should say and what he shouldn’t say.

Lin Rui suddenly became silent. Shen Hui was a little puzzled. Could it be that Lin Rui was scared because Jing Heng suddenly spoke?

“No way, Brother Heng. Why do you have to listen at the side when sister-in-law calls me. You weren’t like this in the past.” Lin Rui raised his voice in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent.

“Stop it, let’s get down to business.” If Lin Rui could see it now, he would definitely be able to see the disdain in Jing Heng’s eyes.

“Alright, let’s get down to business, sister-in-law. Actually, I have a general understanding of the matter. If you have the receipt that they made at that time, and it clearly states that these two houses were left to your mother, and they also have to prove that they really did not support their mother, which is your grandmother, then this matter is almost certain. They can’t even think of taking a single cent of the demolition money

“I kept the receipt very well. My grandmother even left a will notarized by a lawyer. It clearly stated that this house was left for my mother.”

Perhaps facing the lawyer, Shen Hui could not help but feel a little nervous. She had been holding her hands nervously the whole time. Suddenly, a pair of warm hands covered her hands. She raised her head in shock, only to see Jing Heng staring at her, she didn’t know how to describe that pair of eyes. She felt that her nervousness had disappeared in an instant.

“If that’s the case, then it’s naturally for the best. Sister-in-law, let Brother Heng take a photo of those receipts and wills for me to see. I’ll take a look at them for you. We’ll discuss the details after we meet. The court session is in five days, right?”

Lin Rui’s voice came again, interrupting Shen Hui’s thoughts. “Yes, the court session is in five days. I’ll have Jing Heng send the photos to you now. I’ll have to trouble you with this matter.”

“Sister-in-law don’t be so polite. Brother Heng and I grew up together…”

“Long-winded. We’ll contact each other when you are coming over.” Jing Heng hung up impatiently. Then he looked at Shen Hui and explained, “If you are not tough with this person, he’ll talk to you endlessly. He’s too noisy.”

“I feel like the two of you have a great relationship.” Shen Hui was a little curious. Jing Heng, who worked at a construction site, actually had such a good relationship with a lawyer.

However, Jing Heng looked at Shen Hui with a smile. “Why are you curious about my past?”

Shen Hui hurriedly lowered her head. “No… no, I’m done eating. I’ll cook, you will clean up. I’ll go and look for the things, then you will take a photo of it for Lawyer Lin.”

After Shen Hui said that she quickly ran away. Jing Heng took out his phone and his fingers were typing quickly. He then sent a message to Lin Rui, “Mind your words. You should only say what is needed. Don’t say anything else unnecessarily..”
