Chapter 146: I'm going to name you fussy
Up until now, she hadn't taken a single word said in the letter seriously. However, as soon as her eyes fell on the photo of a woman, those unique yet similar eyes changed everything. They stuck her hard and made her reconsidered everything that was said in the letter.
Those eyes... were similar to hers. It was not only the color but the shade of the green; everything was similar.
Her fingertips lightly touched the woman's face in the photo.
"Mr. Song... who is she?" She quietly asked.
"This is Elder Heng's late wife."
Jing Lihua took a deep breath and rubbed her temple.
'Too bizarre. This is too bizarre. I always knew I got my eyes from my mother. But neither my grandfather nor my grandmother had green eyes. So where did my mother got her eyes from? Could it really be so that my mother was actually from this Heng family? No... This raises more questions than answers.' Jing Lihua glanced at Heng Bingwen through the corner of her eyes. He was intently reading the words his grandfather had left for him.
His expressions were a mixture of softness and pain.
'In my last life, Heng Bingwen's mother Xu Baozhai had sought me out and provided me shelter at the weakest part of my life. Was there a reason behind it? Could it be that she knew that I had connections with the Heng family? And that's why she had helped me... After all, I had always felt a sort of kinship with Heng Bingwen and Xu Baozhai.'
Jing Lihua heaved a deep sigh. Putting aside the photo of the green eyes lady, she started to read the second page of the letter.
'Jing Lihua, there is another reason I had decided to bring the truth in front of you this day. My eldest grandson, Heng Bingwen, I have been keeping an eye on him. He is a true gem. I see that you take good care of him as his elder sister. Since you are already this close to him, you might have realized it by now. Xiao Bingwen is a special kid.
However, I'm afraid my son lacks proper judgment and might end up restricting my Heng Bingwen's growth. I want you to protect him and guide him. I hope you can fulfill this last wish of mine.'
Jing Lihua put aside the will. 'So this is what this fuss is all about? He wants me to protect Heng Bingwen. What a shrewd man.'
Jing Lihua folded the letter. Glancing at Mr. Song, she said. "Mr. Song, your honest reputation is well recognized in the company. Since Elder Heng had entrusted the process of properties transfer to you, we have our utmost trust in you. We will wait for you to send the papers."
Mr. Song was expecting some drama before all of them were placated However, listening to Jing
Lihua's response, he established that she indeed met up to her reputation 'Calm and composed.'
"Don't worry about that President Jing. Eler Heng had great favors on me. I will personally monitor the process of transfer."
Hearing this Jing Lihua nodded then glanced at Heng Bingwen.
"There is no reason for us to stay here any longer. Let's leave Heng Bingwen."
"Yes... President." Heng Bingwen said, preoccupied. When he finally looked up from his letter, there was a mixture of different emotions in his eyes. However, they were sharp and determined. Whatever words grandfather had said to him, had awakened something in his eyes.
"Stop right there!" Heng Huizhong crunched the letter left for him in his hands. Whatever words Elder Heng had left for him, it looked like Heng Huizhong didn't quite like it. His eyes were filled with fury. "Do you expect us to agree with all this without a proper fight?"
"Mr. Heng, are you going to formally challenge the will? You are free to do so. But since you are Heng Bingwen's father, let me advise you on his behalf. If you do so, you are going to only embarrass yourself."
"You do not have any association with the Heng family. How can you explain what happened here today?"
Jing Lihua fell silent for a moment. 'If I tell him that the will claim that I have an association with the Heng family, he would challenge my identity as a Tang. This might affect my position in the Tang enterprise. After all, this is how it had happened in my last life. But... at that time Tang Huang was a threat. Right now, Tang Huang had been taken care of by Li Zhiquang.'
In the end, Jing Lihua decided to not reveal the secret as of yet. "If you want an explanation, you can go and ask that from Elder Heng as to why he put my name in his will. Heng Bingwen, let's go."
Not waiting for their response, Jing Lihua headed out.
So much had happened that day. First her visit to Su family mansion, then Elder Heng hearing. With a confused state of mind and a chaotic heart, Jing Lihua arrived at her apartment late that day.
She was grateful as Heng Bingwen hadn't asked any questions about her name in the will. That guy was understanding.
When she arrived at her apartment, she wasn't surprised to see the lights on. Instead, observing that, she smiled softly and quietly entered.
Looking at the white cat sleeping lazily over the couch, Jing Lihua shook her head. Getting to her, she stroked its fur. "You are supposed to look after the house in my absence. Why are so sleeping here so soundly letting strangers in at their will? So careless. I am going to st
art calling you fussy."
The cat mewed quietly in its sleep, enjoying the stroke however when it heard the name 'fussy', its ears perked up. With an unhappy snarl, it jumped off the couch.
"Calling me a stranger so blatantly? I am hurt." Hearing the familiar voice, Jing Lihua's heart welled up with happiness.
She herself hadn't realized until she had heard his voice how much she missed him. It hadn't been more than a day and hear heart already deeply longed for him. With a smile, she turned back.
However, the moment she faced him, she froze.
What she saw, she could not bring herself to believe.
