章節 13: Each Nerve Was Shaking
編輯: Noodletown Translations
Chen Chengjing walked out of Moh Park, stopped a taxi, and headed straight to the Shen Mansion.
She barged into the living room of the mansion after getting out of the taxi, and the servants quickly moved away at the sight of her.
"Uncle, why did you do it?" she asked without a preamble.
Shen Zhicai was reading the newspaper and didn't look a bit surprised when she came in. Since he made that decision, he was prepared to deal with her. Besides, she was only a young girl without any background or connections. What could she do anyway?
"What happened? You look enraged upon returning. It might bring bad luck." Sitting next to Shen Zhicai, Pan Ru sipped on ginseng tea as she looked at Shen Chengjing in displeasure.
"What happened?" Shen Zhicai put down the newspaper and asked calmly.
Shen Chengjing looked at their undisturbed faces. If she hadn't overheard their conversation last night, she wouldn't suspect them, but now she felt disgusted to see their hypocritical faces.
"Why did you sell all the fixed assets under my name?" Enraged, she demanded an answer from Shen Zhicai.
Money wasn't important to her, but her father bought the house for her mother as a birthday gift. It had special meaning to Shen Chengjing, but it got sold without her knowledge!
"Oh? You mean that house? Lately, the Shen Corporation is short on funds, so I mortgaged the house to get money for a project. I'll get the house back once the cash flow of the company becomes healthy again. You don't have to worry," Shen Zhicai said confidently without a trace of guilt as he picked up his cup and sipped the tea.
"The house in the forest belongs to my mother! You can't sell it."
At this moment, Shen Ziqian was upstairs. After hearing Shen Chengjing's shouts, she walked down slowly and leaned on the rail of the staircase.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. It turns out that Chengjing is back." Her voice was sweet and melodious, which was pleasing to the ear. However, goosebumps of disgust appeared on Shen Chengjing's skin.
If she hadn't caught Shen Ziqian and Mo Yongqiang in bed, she might have thought that Shen Ziqian was only overly proud and didn't have many dirty thoughts. But after what she had seen, her dislike for Shen Ziqian had intensified.
"You mean the house in the forest zone? In fact, Dad knows how important it is to you, so he didn't sell it. The key is here. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it." Shen Ziqian walked down stairs to her side as if nothing had happened.
Shen Chengjing looked at her with a frown.
"Give me the key. You don't have to go with me." She didn't believe Shen Ziqian. Why would this scheming and vicious woman be so kind to her?
One should always be cautious toward others. After learning about this family's true colors, Shen Chengjing knew that she needed to keep a distance from them.
"Fine. But I took your gift box over there and forgot to tell you about it." While speaking, Shen Ziqian showed a picture of the box to her on her cellphone.
Shen Jingchen looked at the picture, and her heart jumped to her throat. This was the last gift from her father.
"Give me the key." Shen Chengjing reached out his hand, and Shen Ziqian gave it to her without hesitation.
After taking the key, Shen Chengjing turned around and hurried out
After she left, Shen Zhicai put down his teacup with a thud. "What are you doing? I kept that house to be used as your dowry. Why did you give it to her?"
"Dad, don't worry. I'll never let anyone touch my stuff," Shen Ziqian said fiercely. Then she dialed a number on her cell phone before leaving.
Shen Zhicai exchanged a look with Panru, wondering what Shen Ziqian was up to. But knowing their daughter's relationship with Mo Yongqiang, they didn't dare to say more about it.
Shen Chengjing ran to the forest zone and entered the house. On the desk in the living room, she saw the gift box.
"Dad, I almost lost it. Sorry." She opened the box and coughed at the strong fragrance floating out from the box.
She suddenly felt her body turning soft as a strange warmth surged in her veins, making her body heat up.
"What's happening?" She knew something wasn't right.
Shen Ziqian must have set a trap for her. The warmth flowed faster in her body, and each of her nerves was shaking. A bad feeling struck her as the door was pushed open.
She turned around and saw a tall figure walk in.
