Two days later, Sheng Bowen’s case was heard in the court.

  As his defense lawyer, the Sheng family’s lawyer had collected a lot of evidence to prove that Sheng Bowen had no knowledge of running Xiao Jiayu over that day as he drove off.

  The court listened to what the lawyers of both sides had to say, and in addition to the forgiveness and plea of Xiao Jiayu’s family, the court finally found Sheng Bowen innocent, but the liability for compensation had to be fulfilled.

  The matter had been dragged on for more than a month before it was finally resolved. Sheng Bowen was relaxed now. The first thing he did after his innocence was declared was to go to the hospital to visit Xiao Jiayu.

  Xiao Jiayu had recovered well. The hospital was also doing its best to find a suitable bone marrow match for her.

  Grandpa Meng was very nice and didn’t hold anything against Sheng Bowen. Every time he saw him, he would hold his hand and thank him countless times.

  But even so, Sheng Bowen still felt guilty.

  Especially when he saw the little girl’s innocent eyes, so bright and heartwarming.

  “Uncle, Grandpa said that you are a good person.” Xiao Jiayu sat on the bed and held the toy Sheng Bowen got her. She just couldn’t put it down.

  “A good person wouldn’t bump into you and run away.” Sheng Bowen didn’t hide what he did to Xiao Jiayu.

  “Grandpa said that you were framed. I don’t blame you,” Xiao Jiayu replied to him softly.

  “You’re such a good girl. You’re so sensible even at such a young age.” Sheng Bowen patted Xiao Jiayu’s head, his heart aching. When he left, he gave the old man another card, but Grandpa Meng didn’t take it.

  “You can’t do that, Mr. Sheng. You’ve already helped us enough. We really can’t accept anymore.”


  “Grandpa Meng, Jiayu needs a lot of money to treat her illness. Your family still needs to live, so don’t stand on ceremony with me. Worst comes to worst, when Jiayu grows up, she can come to Huang Yao to work and repay me well.”


  Grandpa Meng’s eyes lit up when he heard this. Sheng Bowen was right. If Jiayu could live to that day, he would definitely ask her to repay her benefactor.

  “Thank you. You’re really a good person.”


  “Jiayu is so lovable. I hope she gets healthy and happy. In the future, people will contact you for Jiayu’s study and life matters. Grandpa Meng, take good care of your health. I’ll visit her when I have time.”


  Grandpa Meng was so touched that he teared up.

  The old man may be poor, but he was simple and kind and knew how to be grateful.

  When Sheng Bowen left, he sat by the bed and spoke to Xiao Jiayu. “In the future, when you grow up, you must find that uncle and work for him for your whole life to return the favor.”


  “Grandpa, I’m willing.” Although Xiao Jiayu didn’t know what work was or how long a lifetime was, she remembered this uncle in her heart and would never forget him.

  Just like that, Xiao Jiayu’s matter came to an end. Jin Bo spent a lot of effort, but he did not get anything. He even lost Shen Yu.

  Sheng Xiao was just like the legend said. He was indeed difficult to deal with.

  However, there was still a long time ahead. There were still a few more years to slowly scheme.

  On the night of the announcement of his innocence, Sheng Bowen brought Ren Yufei for dinner with Sheng Xiao’s family at Banyan Courtyard. He knew that Sheng Xiao was the reason why they were safe and sound this time.

  “Eighth Brother, here’s to you…… This life of mine will be yours from now on.”


  Sheng Xiao did not move an inch and said disdainfully, “I’m the one who saved him, and yet, I still have to take over Huang Yao……”


  “This fully demonstrates your capability to do more work.” Sheng Bowen did not think much of it and continued to smile. “With you around, I can take Yufei and focus on going abroad.”


  “You’re going abroad?” Mu Qiqi stopped peeling the shrimp and looked at Sheng Bowen.

  “I want to learn something, and so does Yufei. So, we’re planning to go abroad for a while.”


  “Are you thinking of letting go completely?” Mu Qiqi’s face instantly darkened. “You guys are going to have fun, leaving my Xiao Xiao to work to death. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have saved you.”


  “Huang Yao is a waste in my hands,” Sheng Bowen said in all seriousness. “Look at Eighth Brother. In five years, it will be the number one diamond empire in Asia.”


  Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao switched positions so that they could only see Sheng Bowen from the side.

  It was to prevent this person from showing off again.

  Sheng Xiao knew that Mu Qiqi felt sorry for him, so he quietly pinched her neck with his right hand to appease her.

  Sheng Bowen rubbed his nose and also felt that he had gone too far. Before they finished their food, he had already dragged Ren Yufei away from Banyan Courtyard.

  “He’s escaped so quickly!” Mu Qiqi was angry. She had thought that Sheng Bowen would realize it after this matter was settled.

  Who knew that he was really going to let everything go!

  “Huang Yao has had its own rules and regulations for so many years. Moreover, with Zhongteng’s team around, I don’t need to put in much effort.”


  “You don’t need to put in much effort and go home a whole hour late every day?” Mu Qiqi whined. “Forget it, Third Brother is such an ingrate.”


  “Didn’t you say before that I should be in charge? Hmm? Have you forgotten?”


  Mu Qiqi turned to face Sheng Xiao and answered very seriously, “I only said it offhand. I thought that when Third Brother came back, he would still be the CEO.”


  Sheng Xiao saw that she was angry, so he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

  Mu Qiqi was stunned for a moment and did not say anything……

  He used this trick every time……

  “Forget it, it’s better to go far away.” Mu Qiqi sighed. After all, there was still an unknown mastermind behind their enemies who was eyeing the Shen and Sheng families. “With his IQ, he can’t even protect himself.”


  Mu Qiqi expressed her disgust……

  Late at night, the Tang family.

  Ever since Papa Feng left that day, no one from the Feng family ever appeared in front of Feng Shanshan again. She and Tang Yan had thought that the Feng family had already stopped and forgotten about the fact that she had appeared. However, Feng Wen’s appearance once again forced Feng Shanshan into an embarrassing situation.

  Tang Yan was still at the branch office. When Feng Shanshan heard the doorbell, she thought that it was her husband because Tang Yan did not bring his keys. However, when she opened the door and saw Feng Wen, the smile on her face disappeared completely.

  “What? You’re not going to invite me in?”


  Feng Wen was three years older than Feng Shanshan. She liked wearing heavy makeup and had a unique personality. She was holding a lady’s cigarette in her hand.

  “I can’t have the smell of cigarettes in my house.” Feng Shanshan rejected her explicitly. “Also, I made it very clear that day at the company……”


  “I know that you’re pregnant, so you want to go back to the Feng family to fight for a place for the child. It’s not that I don’t want to fulfill your wish. After all, you’re Father’s biological daughter. So, I’ll be frank. You can go back to the Feng family, but you have to give up the rights to inherit.” Feng Wen did not force Feng Shanshan to let her into the house. She was there to make her position clear.

  “Believe it or not, I went to Mr. Feng, not for money.” Feng Shanshan finally opened her mouth to explain.
