Chapter 144: Bloodties with Heng family

Heng Bingwen slowly looked up at his President. She seemed to be covered in a gentle halo. A small smile adorned her features. Her green eyes held the characteristic spark that made her appear not only charming but also possessing unparalleled strength... like a steady boulder that could withstand the strikes of countless waves from the ocean without losing its standing. 

He silently wondered. 'Why is she giving me such importance?'

Looking at the started expressions of everyone Jing Lihua's eyes looked unfocused for a while. She thought to herself.

'That's because I remember what had happened in my last life. At that time, Su Donghai had sent people to fetch me but you had defended me. Heng Bingwen had hidden me behind you and declared me as his elder sister. Since that day, till my death I had always wondered would I be able to repay for what you did. Finally, I have the chance to make up for that.'

Heng Huizhong's lips stretched into a thin line. "Your words don't change anything. You are still an outsider. This is a family matter. You are not needed here."

"Why don't we ask your wife?" Suddenly Jing Lihua's tune changed from a serious one to a playful one. Her gaze shifted as she glanced at the paling face of Lang Lan. "What do you think Ms. Heng? I believed we have had made the acquaintance prior to this day at Madam Xu's place. Since we are already this close, why don't you try to convince your husband to let me stay here during the hearing? I have heard your husband treats you very well. He would not say no to your request."

"Madam Xu place? Xu Baozhao? Lan'er, what were you doing at her place?" Heng Huizhong quickly caught at the words.

Lang Lan paled further. "H-Husband why don't we just do whatever she asks? She is Heng Bingwen's friend after all. Let's just let her stay." Lang Lan would be a fool if she hadn't caught the warning in Jing Lihua's tune. Since she had the video. Lang Lan couldn't go against her. In a hushed tune, Lang Lan said to Heng Huizhong. "I am saying this only because this Jing Lihua... is too powerful! I don't want her to target you or our son. Please agree with this, husband."

"But-"

"Ms. Jing, since you are already here, and it's about the time, we should start the hearing." Suddenly the Ms. Song said.

"What do you mean by this Mr. Song? This is Heng family internal matter and Ms. Jing is clearly not-"

"Actually the will also hold Ms. Jing's name. Earlier I had been upset about how to contact her and inform her of the issue. Now that she is here, all of it is resolved."

After his words, not only H

eng Huizhng and Lang Lan were shocked, even Jing Lihua narrowed her eyes slightly.

"How can this be? Mr. Song, are you certain that you are not doing some mistake? How could the will have her name?" Heng Huizhong said with a deep frown over his face. 

"Mr. Heng, I am certain I am not doing a mistake. Please take your seats, everyone. It's about time."

Heng Huizhong glanced at Jing Lihua. 

'Is this the reason she is here today? Not to assist my elder son... Instead, she covets my family fortune and has found a way to bribe the attorneys to put her name in the will. And Heng Bingwen... he might have been the one who had made a contract with her. He might have told her he would assist her in her fraud if she helped him inherit successfully.' 

Pondering over his conjecture, Heng Huizhong felt like it was even more likewise. He felt a rush of anger. "Heng Bingwen! How dare you be so shameless! For the sake of some wealth, you would even bring and an outsider to claim your family's property?"

Heng Bingwen had too been shocked when the attorney informed them about Jing Lihua's name in the will. Hearing to his father's words, he quickly understood what his father might have thought about him. "Father, I have not done any such thing."

"Do you still have the face to say that!" Heng Huizhong wouldn't listen to anything.

"Everyone. Please take your seats. You can resolve your conflicts later on." Mr. Song sighed and shook his head. 'Such a complicated family. I have been dealing with the worst cases of the broken family but this... is simply very complicated.'

"You!!!" Heng Huizhong directed his rage at the attorney.

"Me?" Mr. Song was startled. He was just a bystander assigned to hand over the wills and letters. Why was he being glared with accusing eyes?

That... never happened before.

Although some families had approached him to replace the wills, he was an honest man. He was acclaimed for that in the industry. That's why Elder Heng had contacted him in the first place.

"How much she bribed you with to mess with the will?"

"What are you implying Mr. Heng?"

"I'm not implying anything. I am stating everything clearly and openly. Can you explain why would Ms. Jing have her name in the will? She is not related to our family even with several generations gap. She had no association with the Elder Heng prior to his death. How could she have her name in the will."

"That is Mr. Heng because..." Mr. Song fell silent.  

Looking at the group of people staring at him so intently to know the reasons, he felt another headache coming. 'Does really none of them know? If that's so it is going to be far more problematic than I expected it to be.' When he glanced at Jing Lihua, he saw her perplexed expression. 'Even Ms. Jing doesn't know?' He sighed in weariness.

Alright, a lot of drama was going to happen.

"Mr. Heng, the reasons, I am unable to state so openly. In any case, I am afraid it might offend any of the two parties once you all settle down at the truth. What I can tell is that Ms. Jing indeed has blood ties with the Heng family."

Everyone was shocked.
