“Brother Heng, your experience of life is too real. This car, does it cost 100,000 dollars?” Gu Feng looked at the black car that appeared in front of him. This was completely different from Jing Heng, who always had a chauffeur when he went out.

Jing Heng glanced at Gu Feng from the corner of his eyes. Gu Feng immediately made a tactful gesture to shut up. After getting into the car, he kept quiet. He was really afraid that Jing Heng would throw him out of the car on the way.

“You’re here? The food is almost ready.” As soon as Jing Heng opened the door, Shen Hui quickly walked to the door to welcome them. Shen Hui looked behind Jing Heng, but there was no one there.

Jing Heng knocked on Shen Hui’s head in dissatisfaction. “They’re putting things. They’ll come up soon.”

“They? Is it Lawyer Lin’s assistant?” Shen Hui began to think whether the food she cooked was enough. She thought Lin Rui was the only one coming.

Jing Heng’s pupils constricted. “It’s Lin Rui’s friend. He just happened to have a project to inspect in City B, so they came together.”

“Then you go and receive them. I still have to prepare two more dishes.” After saying that, Shen Hui turned around and went into the kitchen. Fortunately, there were extra vegetables that she had bought earlier. Otherwise, it would be difficult if there were not enough to eat later.

When Shen Hui brought the dishes to the table, she saw a man in a navy blue suit with natural curly short hair on his head. His skin was even fairer and cleaner than hers. No matter how she looked at it, his face looked a little young, could this person be Lin Rui, was there such a young lawyer?

There was also a figure in a black suit standing on her balcony, looking at the scenery. He looked more stable than the person on the sofa, but for some reason, Shen Hui felt that this figure looked familiar, could that person be Lin Rui?

“Jing Heng, call your friend to eat.” Shen Hui put the bowl and chopsticks on the table and called the people over to eat.

“This is Lin Rui. As for the other person, it’s his friend Gu Feng.” Jing Heng walked to Shen Hui and introduced them to her. At this time, Shen Hui realized that the one with a tender face who was seated on the sofa was Lin Rui. When she looked at Gu Feng, Shen Hui was stunned.

“Why are you here?” Shen Hui looked at Jing Heng in confusion. She had thousands of doubts in her heart, but she was not stupid enough to embarrass Jing Heng in front of his friend.

“Sister-in-law, have you seen Gu Feng before? I’m sorry, he said he was coming to City B to inspect a project, so he came with me. I hope I didn’t disturb you,” Lin Rui hurriedly explained when he saw that Shen Hui had a big reaction to Gu Feng.

“No… have a seat. We planned to eat out, but I thought that you and Jing Heng were friends, so I decided to cook at home. My skills are average, so I hope you don’t mind,” Shen Hui returned to her normal state, she treated Gu Feng as invisible.

“Why would I mind? It’s great that I can taste sister-in-law’s cooking as soon as I come to City B. I didn’t know that you and Brother Heng are husband and wife. Sister-in-law, please don’t mind me,” Gu Feng quickly tried to please her.

If Jing Heng knew that he was the one who had teased Shen Hui, wouldn’t Jing Heng break his legs?

“Sit down… it’s good that you don’t mind.” Shen Hui resisted the dissatisfaction in her heart. While eating, she discussed the details of the lawsuit with Lin Rui and directly ignored Gu Feng.

In the end, Jing Heng asked Shen Hui to eat properly. Only then did Shen Hui stop the topic. Gu Feng, this chatterbox, kept talking on the table, but Shen Hui acted as if she didn’t hear him and didn’t pay attention to him.

By the time Jing Heng sent them back to the hotel, Shen Hui had already tidied up the house and was sitting on the sofa sullenly.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t we have a good chat today?” Jing Heng sat next to Shen Hui tentatively..
