Chapter 119: The Legacy of Anfei Ya
Chapter 119
Just as Rong Dai was about to get into the car, Lu Hong came over holding a file bag.
Rong Dai looked over: "Officer Lu, is there anything else?"
Lu Hong wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and glanced at Huo Shao Ting sitting in the car before shifting his gaze back to Rong Dai. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"It\'s like this. During our interrogation of Zuo Ran and the appraisal of An Feiya\'s personal assets, there are still some documents and inheritance here that need you to handle personally."
Lu Hong handed her the file bag and briefly explained.
"Thank you."
Rong Dai took the file bag, a faint smile on her face, and gently nodded before getting into the car.
She was in no hurry to look through the file bag\'s contents, with Huo Shao Ting sitting beside her.
From the moment she left the courtroom, all those lingering questions and that invisible wall in her heart finally seemed to clear up.
From the beginning, Huo Shao Ting did not belong to her, so why should she fret over it?
"Where do you want to eat tonight? I\'ll have my assistant book a restaurant."
She did not speak, but Huo Shao Ting was the first to open his mouth.
Rong Dai glanced at him slightly. This man was nearly perfect.
But the more perfect he was, the harder he was to obtain.
"No need. I took time off from Uncle Jiang today, but I still have embroidery to do, so I can\'t accompany you."
Although her heart still ached, when Rong Dai said this, she was not actually angry or melodramatic.
She just wanted to achieve financial independence as soon as possible, so she wouldn\'t have to tiptoe around guessing Huo Shao Ting\'s thoughts.
One who eats another\'s food and uses another\'s resources is subservient to them.
She owed Huo Shao Ting a lot. She would treat this time as a fleeting fantasy.
Huo Shao Ting heard her words, a flickering look in his deep eyes.
In a corner Rong Dai couldn\'t see, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smug smile.
She cared about him, otherwise she wouldn\'t be angry.
"Alright then." He replied lightly, then leaned back in the rear seat, eyes closed, breathing shallowly.
Rong Dai\'s eyes dimmed slightly. Although she knew her thoughts were wishful thinking and had given up struggling, her heart still ached.
She didn\'t say anything more either, her gaze falling on the retreating scenery outside the car window, her eyes growing increasingly profound.
The sprouting seed of love in her heart was uprooted and buried completely.
Returning to the Huo residence, Rong Dai remained very calm. After getting out of the car, she headed straight to her embroidery room on the third floor.
"Big brother, what\'s going on between you and sister-in-law?"
Smelling something amiss, Huo Mei Shu immediately became nervous.
"Also, without big brother\'s consent, the Wen family couldn\'t have submitted that appraisal report. Since when did Wen Shi Lan have a history of mental illness?"
Huo Mei Shu stared intently at the cold-faced Huo Shao Ting, questioning him. Although the verdict for Wen Shi Lan was not announced in court, that woman had already returned to the Wen family.
So she could guess the result of the matter.
If she were the sister-in-law, she would certainly be angry too.
If not for Wen Shi Lan\'s move, there wouldn\'t have been Zuo Ran\'s stunt.
"Big brother! Don\'t forget, if not for Wen Shi Lan, sister-in-law would not have almost died!"
Seeing him purse his lips silently, Huo Mei Shu became anxious and a little angry.
She had worked so hard to matchmake them. Was it easy for her?
"Mind your own business." Huo Shao Ting said coldly, then had the driver turn around and head to the company.
"Big brother!"
Huo Mei Shu was exasperated. Her face flushed red as she watched the car disappear into the distance, stomping her feet in frustration where she stood.
In the embroidery room, Rong Dai had actually seen everything clearly and could hear the little sister\'s words.
She was extremely conflicted, with a dead heart on one hand, yet still a voice hoping for an explanation from him on the other.
But there was nothing. He just left like that.
She took a deep breath, and the chilling cold air pierced her throat, pulling her mind back. Her gaze shifted to the file bag in her hand.
She took out the documents from the file bag, and a golden key also fell out.
The documents carefully listed all of An Feiya\'s assets. She was surprised to find that the original owner\'s mother had a very shrewd business mind.
Being a designer was just her side job, it seemed. Looking at these documents and figures, Rong Dai was shocked.
Just these financial investments and assets alone amounted to over a billion.
Rong Dai couldn\'t help but become curious about An Feiya and amazed by her. How could a woman of such ability end up with a wretch like Zuo Ran? Even controlled by her?
In the end, she actually lost her own life?
Rong Dai couldn\'t figure it out. She could only continue reading. She then saw the documents regarding the key.
It was for Huaxia Bank headquarters.
With An Feiya gone now, and Zuo Ran shackled and imprisoned awaiting the death penalty, these assets all needed to be taken over and managed by her.
She glanced at the things in the embroidery room, her mood plummeting to the bottom. She pulled out her phone to look up related information, then brought her ID and went downstairs.
"Sister-in-law, do you have somewhere to go?"
Huo Mei Shu had been very uneasy. These two were so mercurial.
Seeing Rong Dai come down, she immediately stood up, looking at her anxiously and asking.
"Mm, I have some things to deal with."
Rong Dai gave a faint smile. She wouldn\'t take out her negative emotions on innocent people.
"Then...I\'ll go with you! I don\'t really have anything to do right now anyway!" Huo Mei Shu immediately replied.
"That would be troublesome for you then." Rong Dai didn\'t refuse either, though she didn\'t know the little sister well, she still liked her a lot.
"No trouble at all, we\'re family, why be so polite!"
Huo Mei Shu secretly heaved a huge sigh of relief and hurried to get her car keys.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
"Huaxia Bank headquarters, this address." Rong Dai showed her the address from the documents.
"Did Aunt An leave you assets? Insurance fees at headquarters are usually not cheap every year."
Seeing the address, Huo Mei Shu couldn\'t help but be curious.
"Perhaps." Rong Dai\'s reply was light. She was very curious what kind of woman An Feiya really was?
In that dream, although the original owner had told her many things, she didn\'t say much about An Feiya, her mother. It was clear their mother-daughter relationship was not deep.
However, Rong Dai understood why An Feiya would be so distant from her own daughter. With a lunatic like Zuo Ran by her side, she could threaten An Feiya with the original owner at any time.
