When Shen Hui heard Shen Rou insulting Jing Heng, how could she stand it? She stood in front of Jing Heng and scolded Shen Rou loudly.

Jing Heng saw Shen Hui, whose height had just reached his chin, standing in front of him. She actually stood up for him without hesitation. At that moment, an indescribable warmth flowed through Jing Heng’s heart.

“Shen Hui, don’t think that just because you found a man, someone will stand up for you. We’ll see.” After saying that, Shen Rou pulled her father, Shen Qiang, and left.

“Bah, Shen Hui, why are you as shameless as your mother? When your mother came back pregnant, I should have beaten up your mother and chased her out.” Shen Qiang was very unconvinced. However, he was afraid of Jing Heng, who was beside Shen Hui. After shouting a few words, he was pulled away by Shen Rou.

When Shen Ya and Gao Qiang saw that Shen Qiang’s family had left without any benefits, they also hurriedly left.

“Are you alright? Don’t mind what my cousin said. She’s always like this. She likes to use malicious thoughts to judge others. Just listen and don’t take it to heart.” Shen Hui was afraid that Shen Rou’s words had hurt Jing Heng, she quickly pacified Jing Heng’s emotions.

“What if it’s really like what she said that I’m doing this for your demolition money?” When he asked this question, Jing Heng’s heart was nervous. He was a fearless person, yet he was actually afraid of hearing the answer.

Shen Hui smiled and shook her head. “You won’t.”

Shen Hui’s answer made Jing Heng’s nervous mood instantly disappear. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up. “You trust me so much? What if I’m really doing it for your demolition money? After all, it’s such a large sum. Who wouldn’t like it?”

“Jing Heng, it’s meaningless to say anymore. If you’re really doing it for the demolition money, you won’t agree to sign the prenuptial property certificate with me. So, I trust you.”

The corners of Jing Heng’s mouth, which was originally raised, instantly collapsed. Although what Shen Hui said was not unreasonable, after hearing this answer, Jing Heng instantly became displeased.

Feeling displeased, Jing Heng naturally made a gesture. He raised his leg, ignored Shen Hui, and directly left.

“Eh, Jing Heng?” By the time Shen Hui reacted, Jing Heng had already gone far away.

“Sister-in-law, I’ve already completed the rest of the procedures. You can keep this verdict.” Lin Rui took out the agreement from his bag and handed it to Shen Hui. He looked to the side, but Jing Heng was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Brother Heng?”

“He must have gone to get his car first. Lawyer Lin, I’ve really troubled you with this matter. Let me treat you to a meal to thank you.”

“No need. I’m in a hurry to go back to City A. Let’s eat when we meet the next time. Please tell Brother Heng that I’m leaving,” Lin Rui said and quickly left.

Shen Hui was still wondering why Lin Rui was in such a hurry when she heard a cold voice. “Get in the car.”

Shen Hui bit her lip and got in the car. Looking at Jing Heng’s cold face in the car, she suddenly felt a little wronged. She really didn’t know what she had done to make Jing Heng unhappy. Was there something wrong with what she said just now, but what she said was also the truth?

The two of them didn’t speak for the whole journey. Jing Heng didn’t even look at her. When they reached home, he didn’t open the car door for her like before. Instead, he walked in the front and went home.

When Shen Hui entered, she saw Jing Heng sitting on the sofa. Although he didn’t say anything, Shen Hui could feel that Jing Heng was very unhappy.

Shen Hui took a deep breath and walked to Jing Heng. “Jing Heng, I think the two of us need to talk.”

Jing Heng raised his eyes. His gaze wasn’t as gentle as before..
