The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Big Brother’s Test Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Big Brother’s Test Jin Qingzhou: “…”

Luckily, this wasn’t the first time she had conversed with Shen Jishi, and she could say she knew the temperament of Shen Family’s youngest son.

He may speak without restraint, but in the courtroom, he was just as formidable against the opposition!

Shen Jishi merely mentioned it in passing.

He quickly changed the subject to the matter at hand.

“The other party wishes to contact you, and also mentioned that your father always cared deeply for both you and your sister.”

Jin Qingzhou shook her head coldly and firmly.

“I don’t think it’s necessary for me to have any contact with her. My father has passed away, and right now, all I want is to retrieve everything that belongs to my sister and me.”

“Understood, I will pass on the message. But she said she has something for you, apparently something your father wanted to give to you during his lifetime.”

Jin Qingzhou fell silent for a moment.

“Emotional appeals are useless on me. As for a woman who seduces someone’s husband within marriage, I have no sympathy. Both my dad and she are the executioners who hurt my mom, aren’t they?”

Shen Jishi chose not to further delve into emotional issues.

As a lawyer, he wasn’t a psychological counselor dealing with emotional advice; he was just passing on the other party’s intention to contact Jin Qingzhou.

After finishing these discussions, Jin Qingzhou glanced subtly towards the direction of the car and declined Shen Jishi’s invitation to have a drink together.

“I won’t disturb you any further, I have some things to attend to and must be going. We’ll meet again when I need more documents.”

“Sure, goodbye Mr. Jin.”

Watching her turn and leave, Shen Jishi then returned to his car.

Shen Boyi withdrew his gaze.

He spoke indifferently, “What did you discuss? Just outside the door?”

He was well aware of all Jin Qingzhou’s little habits.

She would make a hair-tossing gesture, which likely meant Shen Jishi said something that made her uncomfortable!

Shen Jishi: “I asked Mr. Jin to consider our eldest brother. She said she dislikes families with too many brothers. I said I will die together with my second and third brothers, and she said that won’t be necessary. Quite polite of her, haha.”

Shen Boyi gave Shen Jishi a helpless glance.

“If you match-make with another client like this, I will send you off to become a professional matchmaker.”

“Eldest brother, I’m seriously helping you find a match! It’s not like I’m pimping!”

“I can send you to Southeast Asia to be a professional pimp too.”

Shen Jishi patted his mouth and made a zipping gesture.

As Shen Boyi drove towards Shen Zhongshuang’s laboratory, he casually mentioned, “Mr. Jin is dealing with inheritance issues?”

“Yes!”

Shen Boyi remembered, Jin Qingzhou had always had a poor relationship with her family while studying.

Jin’s father wanted a son, but unluckily, they had two daughters at home. He desperately wanted to adopt a son from outside then subsequently had an affair.

“If there’s any need for help, do pay attention. After all, she is… Qingwu’s teacher.”

“I understand, eldest brother. Mr. Jin’s sister is also an employee of Qingwu, so she’s practically family.”

Shen Jishi incidentally brought up the affairs of the Jin sisters.

“The other party wants a sum of money, but our country’s laws do not recognize common-law marriages, nor is there a will or anything of the like. Now, they want to play the emotional card to soften Mr. Jin’s heart.”

“She won’t soften.”

“Right…eh, how did you know, eldest brother?”

“Judging people, do you think you can surpass me?”

As the leader in the finance industry, Shen Boyi had encountered countless individuals, and Shen Jishi didn’t think too much of it.

Shen Jishi refrained from discussing any more about client confidentiality, and as the car pulled up outside Shen Zhongshuang’s research facility, he got out with Shen Shaojia.

Shen Boyi said in an even tone, “You go find the second brother, I will take Qingwu and Chairman Pei to the nearby park.”

Qingwu then spoke up, “Eldest brother, we can go on our own. The scenery here is beautiful; consider it a walk.”

The labs were surrounded by a large area of flower fields used for experiments, and when not in the experimental phase, they were open to the public, making it a nice spot to visit.

They had just reached the park near the laboratory.

Seeing Qingwu and Pei Jue walking hand in hand, Annie, crouching in the bushes, let out a sigh of relief.

“Miss, Boss, Doctor Shen and Ms. Su are in the house over there.”

Qingwu nodded.

Her gaze fell on the small house surrounded by the flower garden, where Beidou Star’s people were sitting on top waiting for the right moment.

Tian Tong scurried over.

“Boss, your second brother and sister-in-law are fine; they’re playing games with the Black Dragon Gang right now!”

Annie raised an eyebrow: “What games?”

“Hehe, you’ll know when you see it!”

…

Watching Qingwu take Pei Jue by the hand and walk away towards the park in front, Shen Boyi casually switched off the light inside the car.

The car was shrouded in darkness; the glow of his cigar at his fingertips was scorching, the scent of nicotine swirling around him, the cigarette approaching Shen Boyi’s thin lips, smoke curling up.

He knew Jin Qingzhou wouldn’t forgive her father, also because she had mentioned things from the past in bits and pieces when she was at school.

The things she said back then were still echoing in Shen Boyi’s ears.

“My dad doesn’t care about me; he only cares about money. I went abroad to study with a scholarship I earned myself.”

“He sent me money, probably hoping that I would support him in his old age. I wouldn’t betray my mother.”

“You don’t understand the self-esteem of us poor people, so stop asking, okay?”

…

Shen Boyi felt somewhat embarrassed for no apparent reason!

Back then, he didn’t take those words to heart, but now he realized he actually remembered every single word she had said!

Shen Boyi closed his eyes wearily.

He pressed a number on his cellphone.

“Send you a case, push the progress, ensure the plaintiff’s interests are maximized, charge it to the fourth one’s account.”

“President Shen, isn’t Shen Lyu’s law firm already handling the procedures for this case?”

“Do as I said.”

The secretary quickly agreed.

Packing up his phone, Shen Boyi crushed the cigar in his hand, calmed his mind, took a glance in the direction of the lab, and drove the car out!

Jin Qingzhou lived nearby, but at this time the buses had already stopped running.

She didn’t want to take a taxi either, so she simply treated it as a walk and slowly made her way home, her mind a mess.

Not until the car stopped by her side did Jin Qingzhou realize with some confusion!

Shen Boyi lowered the car window, revealing a somewhat stern face, “Get in, I’ll give you a lift.”

“No need, I can walk back…”

“You are Qingwu’s homeroom teacher; I don’t want anything to happen to you. Qingwu still needs to switch teachers, and it’s not easy to adapt.”

His words were too cold.

They made Jin Qingzhou swallow the words she was about to say.

Concerned about her safety… all because he doesn’t want Qingwu to have to adapt to a new teacher again!

Jin Qingzhou’s heart sank, she opened the car door and got in, “Thanks, President Shen.”

After getting in the car, Jin Qingzhou felt the awkward atmosphere inside and hesitantly spoke up, “President Shen, what did you mean by the message you left me last time?”

Shen Boyi kept a poker face, his gaze staying on the road conditions.

“I don’t have a name? Or do you mean you’ve been calling me President Shen since you met me?”

Jin Qingzhou almost bit her own tongue!

What did she used to call him?

Boyi?

Would such a name be considered impolite now?

Jin Qingzhou turned her head away, “What I call you is my freedom. I’m not an employee of President Shen, and you can’t control that.”

Shen Boyi tugged at his tie and hooked his lips in a smile.

“So, whatever messages I send you are also my freedom! I’m not your student, and you can’t control that either!”
