Chapter 143: If he manages to appear, I will change my surname

In the courtroom, a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

"Mr. Song, how long we have to wait. Isn't it obvious by now? Heng Bingwen is not going to appear." Lang Lan urged the estate attorney to read out the will. 

Worried that Heng Bingwen might find a way here, Lang Lan had given out a call to the Xu family in Hong Kong. Just now she had received a call from them stating that they were unable to contact the people they hired to keep Heng Bingwen detained.

"Those useless bastards!" After coming back into the room, she had been pressurizing the estate attornies.

"Ms. Heng, please be patient. We have sent him a letter to arrive here by two-thirty. It's still half an hour until the decided time."

"Why are you worrying?" Heng Huizhong held his wife's hand and eased her down. In a hushed down tune, he said. "I have stationed my people along all the way to this place. If even my some chance, that bastard succeeds in setting himself free, he won't be able to appear in this room today."

Hearing her husband's words, Lang Lan's mood lifted. She assumed hurtful expressions "I-I didn't want to do this to your son. It's just that his mother fills his ears against. I am afraid he holds great resentment in his heart. Because of that, he might end up taking the wrong path to hurt you and my little son. I hope you don't blame me..."

Lang Lan's son was only a teenager as of yet. If Heng Bingwen inherited the shares successfully he would have an advantage of years of seniority. By the time, Lang Lan's son would enter, he would already have formed a solid standing

No way Lang Lan could tolerate it

She had to stop it at all costs.

Looking at his wife, Heng Huizhong immediately comforted her. "You do not need to feel bad. I don't blame you for this at all. We reached this agreement together. We won't let Heng Bingwen get into the company and mess everything up."

'It took me so much effort to convince Heng Hiozhong to not allow his son to inherit. Although he hates Xu Baozhai, he doesn't hate Heng Bingwen. If Heng Bingwen ends up succeeding, he might even win his father. And what if... what if he even makes his father reconcile with his mother, that vixen? What if he told him about the harassment I had been doing all those years to them? Knowing Heng Huizhong, he won't ever forgive me. No! I must not let it happen!'

"But, husband, are you certain he won't be able to appear here?"

Heng Huizhong glanced at his wife. "Of course, what are you still worried about? I employed my best men just to ease your nerves. The estate attorney said that after reciting the will, he would hand over the copies to everyone. I have talked with someone. We might find a way to change the content of the will. A

ll we need to do is to prevent Heng Bingwen to get the will in his hands from the attorneys' hand today. After that, everything is going to be easy."

"After all the precautions I have taken, if he still manages to appear here to this day, I will change my surname!"

Just as he had finished saying that, the door to the courtroom was pushed open.

.

Countless bodyguards cleared the way.

A woman and a boy stood by the door.

The woman was dressed formally. She had refined features and nobility in her aura. The most striking feature of her was a pair of shining green eyes that could shun any soul into oblivion. 

From that Heng Huizhong recognized her at once.

"You!!!" He stood up at once. He held strong resentment towards that woman. Because of her, not only was he forced to sell fifty percent of his share in the Tang enterprise at half the market price, but he had also lost his position in the board of directors.

All because he was framed by that woman.

He had nothing to do with the revolt that happened the third day she had taken office due to her recklessly firing fifteen high position employees Yet... he was framed and humiliated in front of the whole world.

She was a true devil.

"W-What is she doing here?" Lang Lan' stuttered.

She still remembered the day, how that woman had made her kneel in front of that vixen, Xu Baozhai till her knees started hurting. Lang Lan was utterly humiliated in front of the woman she so greatly despised and... that Jing Lihua still had the video.

If she showed that video to Heng Huizhong...

Lang Lan paled.

"Lan'er, don't be anxious." Heng Huizhng reached quickly to support her.

However, at that moment, Lang Lan's eyes fell on the other figure standing by Jing Lihua's side, she forgot all about Jing Lihua.

"H-Heng Bingwen-"

What was he doing here?

'Jing Lihua was so close to that vixen. Could it be, Xu Baozhai had asked out for her help?' Lang Lan's eyes widened in realization.

Looking at their reactions, Jing Lihua's lips curled up into a soft smile.

"I am here to support my employee and assist him for the hearing of his deceased grandfather's will. Is there a problem Mr. Heng?" Her smooth voice flowed into the courtroom.

"Employee?" Heng Huizhong was startled.

Until now, he hadn't discovered that Jing Lihua had taken his son under her

wing.

"He... works for you now? Heng Bingwen you!!!" Heng Huizhong glared at his son. He calmed himself and faced Jing Lihua. "President Jing... This is our family matter. You have nothing to do with this. Is this your habit to poke your nose in other's people matters where your presence is not required?" Heng Huizhong glared at Jing Lihua.

"Your family matter. Huh?" Jing Lihua scoffed. "Then let me tell you one thing. I see Heng Bingwen as my little brother. His importance near me is no less than a family. How can I interfere... when my little brother is being bullied in his family?"

Listening to her declaration, everyone in the courtroom was startled.
