After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Warmth came from the tightly held hands, and Zhu Jin's racing heart suddenly calmed down.

Ji Huai lowered his eyes and glanced at the two people's clasped hands, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Over the years, Zhu Jin has long been classified as his property by Ji Huai.

Even if he wants to marry someone else, he is not willing to let Zhu Jin marry anyone else.

Not to mention marrying someone else before he gets married.

"Second Master was joking. I just happened to meet Miss Zhu here and had a casual chat with her." Ji Huai smiled with a smile on his lips.

"After all, Miss Zhu and I are old acquaintances." He deliberately emphasized the word "old acquaintance", hoping to use this to declare to Huo Jingcheng that his relationship with Zhu Jin was unique.

Zhu Jin frowned and felt that the other party was really sick.

Before Zhu Jin could explain, Huo Jingcheng said calmly, "According to seniority, you should call her cousin-in-law."

The smile on Ji Huai's face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were dark, staring straight at Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng caressed the back of Zhu Jin's hand, not caring about the other person's gaze, and added, "Yingying and her uncle are looking for you downstairs, brother-in-law."

Huo Jingcheng deliberately emphasized the word brother-in-law and retaliated with tooth.

When the two were confronting each other, a woman's voice came from behind, "Ah Huai! What are you doing here? Daddy asked us to receive guests."

After the sound of hurried footsteps, a woman wearing a haute couture dress appeared in front of the three of them.

Zhu Jin looked curiously and saw that the daughter of the Shen family, who had just returned from abroad, had exquisite makeup on her face, and her every smile was just right.

She took Ji Huai's arm affectionately, and smiled and nodded when she saw Huo Jingcheng, "Brother Jingcheng, long time no see."

When she saw Zhu Jin standing next to Huo Jingcheng, her smile froze, "This is..."

"She is your cousin-in-law, Zhu Jin." Huo Jingcheng introduced briefly.

Shen Yingying had obviously heard of this name, and the smile on her face was a little more polite, "Well, hello, cousin."

"Brother Jingcheng, I have something urgent to do with Ah Huai, so I won't entertain you for now." When Shen Yingying turned to face Huo Jingcheng, her smile became more genuine, "When I have time, I will take Ah Huai to visit you."

"Okay. You go and do your work first."

As soon as Huo Jingcheng finished speaking, Shen Yingying dragged Ji Huai downstairs.

Zhu Jin looked at the two people leaving and felt a little regretful.

During this meeting, she had a good impression of Shen Yingying, a well-educated lady.

It's a pity that the other party has really bad taste and would actually fall in love with a scumbag like Ji Huai.

But Zhu Jin had no intention of interfering with other people's feelings, so she hid her inner thoughts silently.

"stop looking."

Huo Jingcheng pulled Zhu Jin into his arms, stared at her with gloomy eyes, and kissed her passionately without warning.

Zhu Jin was kissed so hard that her breathing became short and her head felt dizzy. She wanted to push the person away, but her fingers were tightly clasped by the other person.

After the kiss ended, Zhu Jin was carried to the balcony on the second floor by Huo Jingcheng in a dazed state.

The breeze blowing on her face brought her rationality back to her mind, and she gradually woke up.

The hugging posture made her feel tightly wrapped in Huo Jingcheng's faint fragrance.

"Still thinking about him?"

The man's plain words made Zhu Jinpin feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't pay too much attention and directly shook her head to deny this statement.

"I didn't miss him. He suddenly appeared and blocked my way just now and said some inexplicable words."

Thinking of Ji Huai's previous attempt to frame Zhu Chen in order to get the Zhu family to break off the engagement and not mention the fact that they were engaged in front of others, and what he said to himself when he was blocking the road just now, Zhu Jin summed it up in one sentence, " He's mentally ill."

Huo Jingcheng curled his lips and said, "Well, he is sick. Stay away from him from now on."

Zhu Jinshen nodded in approval.

She doesn't want to be targeted by Ji Huai again. This man is like a mad dog. Who knows if he will catch you and bite you.

"Aren't you going down?" Zhu Jin asked.

The banquet is a good place for socializing, and it can also announce something, such as Huo Jingcheng's intention to return to the Huo Group after being discharged from the hospital.

Huo Jingcheng shook his head and said calmly, "I won't go."

On the one hand, he came to the engagement banquet because of the relationship between the Shen family and himself. On the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to introduce Zhu Jin to others, at least to let the upper class circles in Beijing know Zhu Jin's identity.

"Second Master, there's a phone call." Assistant Chen pushed open the glass door of the small balcony a crack.

If the call hadn't been answered, Assistant Chen wouldn't have wanted to disturb the two of them.

"You go downstairs and wait for me first. I'll find you after I answer the phone." Huo Jingcheng explained.

"Okay." Zhu Jin got off the other party and walked to the first floor.

The engagement banquet not far away was not as peaceful as before, but was in chaos.

People gathered in twos and threes, looking towards the center of the venue from time to time, as if they were discussing something.

Zhu Jin did not intend to step forward to check, but deliberately chose a less crowded place to wait for Huo Jingcheng's return.

Suddenly, a waiter carrying a plate hurriedly came from behind Zhu Jin, causing Zhu Jin to stagger two steps, and most of the champagne he had just picked up sloshed out.

Zhu Jin frowned and looked at the person. The waiter put a plate in front of him, bent down and couldn't stop apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Miss, I didn't mean it."

Since he had nothing to lose, Zhu Jin waved his hand and asked people to leave, "Forget it, you didn't mean it."

"thanks, thanks."

The waiter thanked her profusely and left quickly.

Zhu Jin rubbed his sore waist and chose a soft sofa to sit down on.

The sofa is located close to the crowd, so you can clearly hear the noisy sounds not far away.

"Oh my God, why did you just attend an engagement party and bring up the story of stolen jewelry? Besides, just throw things away. If there is such a big fuss, I'm not afraid that the Shen family will be unhappy."

"I heard that the second wife of the Shen family lost a necklace. That necklace is an ancestral treasure of the Shen family. It contains a particularly large emerald."

"Isn't it the green cloud of the Shen family?"

"Who knows. Looking at this battle, I'm afraid even if it's not Cuiyun, it's still an expensive necklace."

"I don't know who is so bold as to steal the Shen family's necklace at the Shen family's banquet. If I were caught, I would be very embarrassed."

Zhu Jin frowned slightly and drew a conclusion from what those people just said——

Miss Shen lost a priceless necklace at the banquet. At present, the other party thinks that her necklace has been stolen.

After the pain in her waist eased slightly, Zhu Jin wanted to get up and stay away from the right and wrong here. She had an ominous premonition.

When she saw Shen Yingying leading a group of people towards her aggressively, that premonition became stronger.

After Zhu Jin quickly sent a message to Huo Jingcheng, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

It's too late to hide now, so it's better to see what the other party wants to do.

"Give me back the necklace!"
