This was the first time Shen Hui experienced what it meant to sleep through the night. When she woke up, Jing Heng had already unpacked her luggage and bought her breakfast. This was also the first time Shen Hui realized that it was such a blissful thing to have breakfast the moment she opened her eyes.

“Wash your hands and eat first. I’m going to the construction site in a while. You’re responsible for washing the dishes.” Jing Heng placed the breakfast on the table and then motioned for Shen Hui to sit down and eat.

“What’s this?” Shen Hui looked at the parcels on the table in confusion. She didn’t remember what she had bought recently.

Jing Heng glanced at it from the corner of his eyes. “When I bought breakfast, I saw the mailbox downstairs, so I brought it up.”

Shen Hui nodded. The moment she saw the things inside, she instantly regretted it. She should have looked at it after eating. Now she has lost her appetite due to anger.

“How shameless. How can there be such a shameless person? It was written in black and white that if my mother supported my grandma, they would voluntarily give up the right to inherit the house. Now that they knew the house was being demolished, they rushed here to ask for the demolition money? When grandma was still alive, why didn’t she know how to show filial piety and respect to grandma?”

Jing Heng picked up the things and took a look. It was a summons from City B’s court for the demolition money of the house.

“Who is Shen Qiang?” Jing Heng looked at the summons in front of him with some confusion. There was not only Shen Ya but also a person named Shen Qiang.

Shen Hui took a deep breath. “He’s my uncle. My grandmother had three children, and my mother was the youngest. You should have heard from my eldest aunt that day that I’m a child without a father. My mother raised me. My grandmother has always been very concerned about my mother. My eldest aunt and my uncle couldn’t stand it, and they didn’t want to support my old grandmother, so they left my grandmother with my mother. When my grandmother was still alive, they didn’t even visit her, not to mention that the money for my grandmother’s hospitalization was all borne by my mother alone.”

Shen Hui paused for a moment and picked up the summons, she continued, “At that time, they were afraid that my mother would ask them for money, so they made a written agreement in front of my grandmother. My mother would take care of my grandmother and send her off. The two houses under grandmother’s name all belonged to mother. At that time, they saw that the houses were dilapidated, and they did not need to take care of my grandmother, so they naturally agreed happily. The signing was very straightforward.”

However, she did not expect that they would be so shameless. In order to get the demolition money, they even sued her in court. Naturally, she would not be sad because of such people, after all, she had never treated them like family.

She would naturally not let others take what belonged to her so easily.

“Did you keep those written receipts?”

“Of course. My mother knows their character, so she has always kept the letters very well. Even if I go to court, I’m not afraid.” Shen Hui smiled. It was precisely because of those letters that she was so confident, that was why she was so fearless.

“So? The people who gave you trouble back then were ordered by your eldest aunt and your uncle?” Jing Heng’s face darkened. When he thought of the first time he saw Shen Hui in a miserable state, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

“What? You mean the time you saved me?” Shen Hui quickly reacted and fell into deep thought.

“I don’t know either. Those people came to grab my bag without any explanation and even asked me to give them something. I was too anxious at that time and didn’t pay attention. Fortunately, you appeared to save me at that time. Otherwise, I would have been at a disadvantage..”
