After work that night, Lian Jing was punctually waiting at the entrance of the police station.
Shen Yin did not dare to delay for even a minute as she dashed downstairs. It was because Lian Jing, who usually kept a low profile, was driving an extremely flashy luxury car today.
If the leaders of the Procuratorate found out that such a car was parked at the entrance, they would probably suspect that someone in the police station was corrupt.
After Shen Yin got into the car, Lian Jing glanced at her lightly and asked curiously, âWhy are you in such a hurry? Is someone chasing you?â
âNo.â Shen Yin put down her bag and placed it aside. She looked up at him.
âArenât you very busy? Why did you come to pick me up personally?â
Lian Jing pursed his thin lips, showing a hint of hostility. âLianâeâs son is back. Heâs at the Lian house now.â
Shen Yin paused. Thinking of the woman who always targeted her, she suddenly felt uneasy. âWhy did he come back?â
âWhy else?â Lian Jing sneered. He stretched out his arm and gently placed it around Shen Yinâs shoulder. âI exiled Lianâe to open new markets. All the assets she left behind will end up in my pocket.â
âSo her son came back to take over this portion of the family assets?â Shen Yin blinked in confusion. âBut your uncle didnât leave, right?â
âFu Xiao doesnât have the right to inherit it. Heâs a son-in-law. Auntie knelt in front of Grandpa back then and begged him to allow Fu Ting to take his surname.â Lian Jingâs eyes were icy when he mentioned the past.
Shen Yin could tell how much he hated this family and could not help worrying about him. âIâm afraid that Fu Tingâs return this time isnât so simple. It doesnât matter if he only wants to take over the fruits of his motherâs labor, but if heâs too ambitious, heâll probably take the opportunity to deal with you.â
âOh.â Lian Jing smiled playfully and lifted her chin teasingly. âYouâve learned to be smart. I thought you would say some nonsense about brotherly love.â
âEven biological brothers donât always get along well.â Shen Yin lowered her head. She could not help but sigh when she thought of her younger sister who would love to bite her to death.
Lian Jing tightened his grip on her shoulders and promised her with a dark expression, âIâll make sure that Shen Luo and her family will never be a threat to you. Donât worry, youâre my woman. I definitely wonât let anyone bully you.â
âI know.â Shen Yin pushed him away shyly and sat there helplessly. âLian Jing, youâve helped me this time. If thereâs anything you need my help with, you can let me know.â
âWhy are you standing on ceremony with me?â Lian Jing glanced at her casually. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled evilly as he leaned close to her ear. âI really have something that needs your help.â
âWhat is it?â Shen Yin looked up eagerly and met his eyes.
Lian Jing suddenly lowered his voice and said in all seriousness, âMy mouth is a little dry. Can you help me moisten it?â
âDrink water if your mouth is dry!â Shen Yin took the thermos from the drawer in front of her and threw it into his arms. Then, she turned to look out of the window and refused to talk to him again.
Lian Jing laughed softly and looked at her sitting by the window and throwing a tantrum. He patted her back gently and coaxed her all the way back.
At that moment, the Lian family was busy welcoming Fu Ting.
When Chen Fa saw Lian Jing and Shen Yin return, he smiled and hurriedly helped them take off their coats. âPresident Lian, Miss Shen, Young Master Fu is back. Heâs playing chess with the Old Master in the living room. Do the two of you want to go there directly or go back to your rooms to rest first?â
âLetâs go and take a look.â Lian Jing said to Shen Yin. After getting her approval, he held her hand and led her into the living room.
Shen Yin thought that it would take her a long time to overcome her face blindness, so she was anxious about Fu Tingâs face. But Fu Ting bore a strong resemblance to Lianâe. His long and narrow eyes had the same charm, but on Fu Tingâs face, they made him look suave and handsome.
âThis must be Sister-in-law.â When their eyes met, Fu Ting gathered his wits and stood up to greet her.
Only then did Shen Yin react. She hurriedly nodded shyly and said, âYes, Iâm Lian Jingâs girlfriend. My name is Shen Yin.â
âHello.â Fu Ting reached out to shake her hand like a gentleman.
Lian Jing grabbed Shen Yin with a cold expression and looked at the chessboard expressionlessly. âYouâve lost. Looks like you still canât beat Grandpa after so many years of training outside.â
âMy chess skills are too poor and Iâm no match for Grandpa. Iâve embarrassed myself in front of Little Jing.â Fu Ting scratched his head in embarrassment. Then, he gestured for the two of them to sit down and instructed the servants to serve tea. He really acted as if this was his own home, and Lian Jing and Shen Yin were outsiders.
Shen Yin pursed her lips and sat down without a word. However, she was surprised when she saw the young lady who came to serve the tea. âAre you new here? Why havenât I seen you before?â
The girl obediently lowered her eyes and replied, âMiss Shen, Old Master Lian specially hired me to serve Young Master Fu.â
Lian Jing narrowed his eyes in displeasure and glared at her with an unfriendly expression.. âSince youâre here to serve Young Master Fu, why are you still pouring tea for us?â
