Chapter 122

"You should know Ms. An has quite a fortune in my custody. I\'m just an ordinary man. If I can\'t get in touch with you again, I\'ll have to handle it in another way."

This was the first time he met Rong Dai, but he felt she had a special charm that made people want to explore her, definitely not any profane ideas.

Rong Dai smiled lightly and nodded slightly, "Don\'t worry Mr. Ji, this won\'t happen again."

She paused briefly, then asked, "I\'m not very clear how much my mother left behind. Mr. Ji, you must know better. Can you give me a rough number?"

She was Rong Dai now. The valuables in the safe were the dowry An Feiya left for the original owner.

Although they belonged to her now, she was reluctant to use them unless absolutely necessary.

Besides, those jewelleries were very valuable.

She had seen countless jewelleries in her previous life and had a discerning eye. A woman\'s love for jewellery was almost instinctive.

Even when she was the Empress, she was no exception.

If the total value was huge, she would be able to repay the 200 million debt she owed Huo Shao Ting.

With her skills, she believed there would be connoisseurs.

Moreover, An Feiya had purchased several properties for her to provide her with places to live. She now had a place to settle down. The remaining thing was to earn money to support herself and live the unrestrained life she wanted.

The relationship between her and Huo Shao Ting could only be described as deep feelings but shallow fate.

She could not tell him about her identity. She was too clear about the disasters her memories of her previous life would bring if exposed.

If heaven wanted to punish her in this life, to leave her alone, she would bear it all.

It was just karmic retribution.

Ji Zheng frowned slightly, looking puzzled as he asked her, "Judging from what you said, you are very short of money?"

Rong Dai smiled lightly. She saw no need to evade the question and nodded.

She believed in Ji Zheng\'s professional ethics. After all, he was personally chosen by An Feiya.

In other words, even if she did not trust him, what could she do?

She never considered talking about money vulgar. There was a saying, even real siblings calculated debts clearly.

Not talking about money was really vulgar.

"Yes, I haven\'t completed my studies yet. Also... Madam Huo is not an easy person to get along with. Mr. Huo and I have a huge gap between us, as someone with your knowledge and experience can see."

"But these are all my private matters. Mr. Ji doesn\'t need to worry about them," she said lightly. Her quiet way of speaking was like a murmuring mountain stream, unintentionally revealing her graceful temperament.

Ji Zheng nodded with a smile, "Just asking out of curiosity. Ms. An and I were quite close. I\'ll handle this for you. I\'ve earned quite a lot working for Ms. An."

"From what I know, Ms. An made many investments, basic leveraged futures and more. Estimated to be around 3 billion in value."

"That\'s why I was so anxious to contact you after Ms. An\'s sudden passing. Because in Ms. An\'s will, you are the heir to these assets."

"For an ordinary person like me, 3 billion is not a small sum. If you didn\'t call me back today, I might have handled it another way."

Ji Zheng\'s anger had already dissipated. He found this woman very interesting.

An ordinary person would surely be shocked to learn about such a huge inheritance.

But Rong Dai\'s reaction was very calm. She was only slightly surprised when he mentioned the number, then calmed down again.

How could he know that Rong Dai was an ancient soul who had seen tremendous wealth in her previous life? How could she be frightened by this little number?

Besides, she owed Huo Shao Ting 2 billion already.

"I absolutely trust your professionalism. If possible, I hope to settle this as soon as possible. I really lack money," said Rong Dai gently. Her face was calm with no trace of the negative emotions from the court session earlier.

Ji Zheng nodded and saw her off. Leaning back in his chair after she left, he took out his phone and searched for news related to her.

One of the search results was about the auction of engraved jade. He couldn\'t help smiling, and didn\'t dig further into Rong Dai\'s private matters.

When Rong Dai returned to the Huo residence, it was already nightfall.

Huo Shao Ting had returned from work when she arrived home.

Their eyes met. Her state of mind had changed tremendously. Now looking at Huo Shao Ting, she no longer felt the nervousness of a deer in headlights like before.

The things that happened over the past few days, although upsetting, made her clearly realize the fundamental problem between her and Huo Shao Ting.

She could now face it calmly, withdraw in time, recognize the reality, which was her respect for this relationship.

She understood her heart too well.

There could be no future for her and Huo Shao Ting continuing like this. Also, the Wen Shi Lan incident this time...

Although it was understandable for Huo Shao Ting to acquiesce to the other party\'s handling from the Huo family\'s perspective, she was still disappointed and very upset.

Even if he had discussed it with her, she would not have felt this way.

She was not an unreasonable woman. On the contrary, she was very willing to be reasonable, analyze the pros and cons, see which option was beneficial, and act accordingly. She did not think there was anything shameful about that.

But Huo Shao Ting had not mentioned a word about it to her, not even a single word before the court session.

He only asked her that one sentence during the court session.

He had already reached a conclusion in his heart, yet only asked her then.

Although her soul was from ancient times, she was not stubborn or ignorant about everything.

Otherwise, her clan would not have ended up like that because of her in her previous life.

Although couples could keep some things private, she was involved in this matter. Even if she and Huo Shao Ting were married, he should not have made all the decisions for her in this matter.

"You\'re back? I booked a restaurant. We\'ll go out for dinner tonight, not Western food this time, but Chinese," Huo Shao Ting spoke first, his tone very plain, as if nothing had happened between them.

Rong Dai\'s heart twinged slightly. Her breathing stalled for a moment as she softly responded, "Okay."

It was just right that she also had something to say to him. Sometimes, things happen as they should.
