Chapter 109: Hongmen Banquet (1)

At the Shen Residence, Shen Chengjing got out of the car and rushed straight in.

In the hall, she saw Pan Ru and Shen Ziqian chatting away merrily, but when they saw her enter, they immediately shut up.

Shen Zhicai was also chatting with a bespectacled man. When he turned to look at her, she was surprised to find that she seems to have seen this person before. ‘Wasn’t he a lawyer?’

“Chengjing, you’re back? Quickly, sit down.” Shen Zhicai pushed up his own glasses before speaking enthusiastically.

He gave Pan Ru a look, which made her reluctantly get up to pour her a cup of tea. “Since you’re home, why are you just standing there? Have some tea.”

Her attitude was understandably cold, especially since the scolding incident. It made her lose all face. She wished she could just throw Shen Chengjing out.

Of course, after she came back, she directly ignored the matter. It was Shen Ziqian who mentioned to Shen Zhicai that Shen Chengjing might have some relationship with the Moh Family, which she insisted wasn’t the case! Thus this merry scene came about.

“Uncle, you’re the one who called me back here, so what’s the matter?” She sat down and put her bag aside, before she glanced at the lawyer and asked Shen Zhicai.

Today, Shen Zhicai’s face was flushed, and he looked like he was in a good mood.

“This is the key to the house your mother loved the most when she was still alive. Today, I’ve especially called our lawyer over to formalize the return of the house to you. We’re supposed to be a family. Why argue and quibble over property?! Uncle hopes that you can move back in, since you are, after all, a real daughter of the Shen Family. Once it is revealed that you’ve moved out of the Shen Residence, it may affect the company.” Shen Zhicai said all this emphatically, before taking a long sigh, all the while he observed Shen Chengjing from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Chengjig just sat there quietly. She really cared about the things her father had left her. All these years, because of her youth and because she valued these things too much, she had let Shen Zhicai run the business. However, after so many things had already happened… she could no longer return to the past.

“Dad.” Shen Ziqian was stunned. She clearly could not believe it.

Previously, Shen Zhicai had told her that everything would belong to her. Now, as long as Shen Chengjing came back, would anything be left?

“Since it’s uncle’s good intention, I’ll take it.” Shen Chengjing smiled and reached out to take the deed.

Shen Zhicai’s expression was a little ugly. He thought that she would at least try to play hard to get, but unfortunately, she didn’t!

Pan Ru sat beside him, gnashing her teeth in hatred. After so many years of hard work, she actually let Shen Chengjing take advantage of her. Thinking about how she was humiliated, she couldn’t swallow her anger.

“This is Lawyer Li. Regarding the distribution of the Shen Family’s assets, I’ll return what is owed to you. After all, I’m not young anymore. This is a world for the young, like you.” He reached out for another contract before handing it to Shen Chengjing.

This time, she didn’t readily accept it. Instead, she smiled while quietly looking at him.

“Why? Is Uncle planning to return the company to me?” She was a little surprised. But thinking about it, Shen Zhicai’s ambition made him want her dead, so how could he let her have it back so easily?

Today was probably a Hongmen Banquet. [1]

“Chengjing, you must have a lot of misunderstandings about me. I know.” Shen Zhicai lit a cigarette and took a puff. However, his face remained solemn.

The living room was eerily silent.

Shen Ziqian just sat there, full of resentment. Pan Ru got up and signaled at her, so she put down her teacup and left.

Inside a room on the second floor, Pan Ru closed the door.

“Mom, what do you think of her? She came into our house, but she is still keeping a straight face? Now, even Dad has to bow to her? And he’s planning to hand her back the company? Are you kidding me?! Once we lose the Shen Family, the Mo Family won’t tolerate us anymore.” Shen Ziqian’s small face turned fierce with anger, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
