Zhao Hong’s bodyguards were about to step forward when Qin Yu’s gaze swept across them. They couldn’t help but shudder. Then, they stopped immediately. No one dared to move.

Qin Yu released Zhao Hong and helped Zhao Jinxing sit down on the sofa. Then, he spoke, “I’m Qin Yu, Jinxing’s husband.”

Chen Ping saw Qin Yu’s noble aura but didn’t know who he was. She didn’t dare to interrupt, so she could only give Zhao Hong a meaningful stare.

Zhao Hong sensed something as well. He cleared his throat and sat down. Then, he put on the airs of an elder, “Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by the family. The Zhao Family has a marriage deal with the Huo Family first. Now that you guys are acting on your own, how is this appropriate?”

Zhao Jinxing retorted, “The person who has a marriage deal with the Huo Family is Zhao Jinxiu. What does it have to do with me? What, now that she got the shares, she refuses to marry into the Huo Family and live as a widow?”

“Shut up!”

Zhao Hong slammed the table angrily, “If you didn’t push your sister down the stairs, would she become like this now? Not to mention that you didn’t apologize to her, how could you say this to her now? Did you forget all your morals and virtues?”

Qin Yu frowned when he heard this. He couldn’t believe how biased Zhao Hong was. No wonder Zhao Jinxing was so upset when they first met. She didn’t mention a word about her father.

“Speaking of that, there are so many servants at home when that incident happened. Someone would have witnessed it. Why don’t we ask them one by one? Won’t that clear things up?” Qin Yu said calmly.

Chen Ping’s expression changed immediately when she heard this. She interrupted instantly, “You’re blood-related sisters, you shouldn’t go this far. Jinxiu is the elder sister, so she should give in to Jinxing. Jinxing, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s pretend it never happened.”

“No, even blood-related brothers have to settle scores openly.”

Zhao Jinxing did not buy that. In the beginning, she did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality. She was giving face to Zhao Hong. Now that he was being despicable and shameless, she just had to do this!

“It’s true that we have servants at home. Besides, we have surveillance cameras at the upper left corner of the stairs. I originally installed them for fun, but now it looks like it would be useful.”

Chen Ping felt guilty and tugged at Zhao Hong’s clothes. Zhao Hong instantly pointed at Zhao Jinxing and scolded, “Don’t you feel ashamed? One shouldn’t expose his own family’s dirty laundry. Auntie didn’t want to expose you, but you insist on making a big deal out of it. I think you are just trying to make me mad!”

“This is really strange! You keep saying that you want to get justice for Zhao Jinxiu. When I’m offering solutions, you didn’t want to follow. What, do you feel guilty about it? Don’t you know Zhao Jinxiu is a b*stard?”

“Hey! Stop it!”

Zhao Hong was so angry that his face turned red. He covered his chest with one hand and panted heavily. He looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

Zhao Jinxing slowly took out a bottle of fast-acting heart attack pills from the drawer under the coffee table. She took out two pills and handed them to Zhao Hong. Then, she smiled and said, “You have to stay healthy. I’m still waiting for you to go through the formalities and return the Zhuang’s inheritance to me!”

Upon hearing the word “inheritance”, Zhao Hong’s breathing immediately became normal again.

“It doesn’t matter even if something happens to him. You can inherit two portions of them,” Qin Yu added at the right time, “That’s provided if Mr. Zhao has any assets under his name.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jinxing raised her head and glanced at Qin Yu. At the same time, Qin Yu turned around. Both of them looked at each other and smiled.

Although they hadn’t known each other for long, they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
