As Chu Heng said on the phone, Zhang He seemed to be under a spell. No matter how the lawyer questioned him, he insisted that he did it all by himself, claiming that he wanted to "borrow some money from his little cousin."
Shen Yu naturally wouldn't believe such an obvious excuse, but the day before the court hearing, things took a new turn.
An investigation revealed that Zhang He's private account received a huge transfer three days before his kidnapping, and the source of the funds was—
"Zhou Han? That lecherous pig?" Jing Weiyang couldn't hide her surprise. "Isn't he still in prison? How come..."
"He said he had his men spend the money to do it," Chu Heng explained from the side.
Jing Weiyang blinked her big eyes, looking at the man beside her as if she understood something:
"I feel like I'm being dragged into this."
That lecherous pig probably doesn't want to deal with her the most, does he?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu reached out and pinched her cheek, which drew a playful push from the girl.
She didn't notice the deep gaze exchanged between the two men.
Things are probably not that simple.
Although no specific connection with the Ning family was ultimately found, not long after, news spread that the Shen family would not renew Ning Luoyao's contract.
Jing Weiyang was completely unaware of all of this.
-
Young Master Shen's birthday banquet this year was held at Yijing Shengyuan.
Jing Weiyang and Shen Yu first went to visit the old man at Qingfeng Villa before returning to get their hair and makeup done.
Several internationally renowned stylists and makeup artists were already waiting in the villa. By the time Jing Weiyang finished her styling and came down, the sun was already setting, and the guests were arriving one after another.
Jing Weiyang greeted the people she knew, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Yu standing far away in the crowd, holding a wine glass and talking to someone.
In the dim light, his figure stood tall and straight like a pine tree.
As if sensing something, he stopped talking to the person and turned around, only to see Jing Weiyang in a fiery red dress in the distance.
He raised his hand to push up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled gently at her.
In that instant, Jing Weiyang seemed to hear the sound of fireworks exploding beside her ears.
She took a deep breath and walked towards Shen Yu.
Wow, sister-in-law looks so beautiful today!
"Nonsense, when is our Crown Princess not beautiful?"
The people with Shen Yu were his friends, who showered Jing Weiyang with compliments, making her blush and shyly hide in Shen Yu's arms.
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law?"
Someone saw her and was about to make a joke when a distorted voice rang out from the side:
"Damn it, the women's army is here!"
Jing Weiyang looked up, puzzled, and saw a group of noblewomen, led by Madam Shen, walking towards them, their destination seemingly...
"I'm outta here. The constant pressure to get married is driving me crazy. If I see you guys together, I'll definitely come back."
"My family doesn't pressure me to get married, but they do pressure me to have children. I'll be going now."
And just like that, the friends who had been surrounding Shen Yu "slipped away".
Jing Weiyang stiffened slightly, looking at Madam Shen's well-maintained face, and began to feel uneasy.
What to do? She wants to run away too QAQ.
Then, there's no way she can slip away. Even if everyone else has left, she still can't escape.
Who told her to be the Crown Princess Shen?
Noticing the slight stiffness in the delicate body beneath his palm, a deep smile flashed in Shen Yu's eyes.
Regardless of her inner thoughts, when Mrs. Shen arrived, Jing Weiyang had already composed herself and sweetly greeted, "Mom, you're here!"
