Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Evil Will Be Punished_1

Cheng Bingbing did not notice the unusual behavior of Huo Qilin.

Thinking about the words Huo Qilin had just spoken, even though knowing they were merely a casual excuse to appease Xia Qingtian, she still felt her heart beating faster.

Her eyes were filled with a flash of longing.

In her humble thoughts, she wished everything were true.

...

After returning home, Xia Qingtian, due to her worries about the company, tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep.

Although she appeared normal in front of Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin.

But only she knew that deep within her heart, she was actually quite anxious. Not only did she bear the fate of Star Entertainment Company, but she also bore the futures of Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing.

It was not until dawn that Xia Qingtian fell into a light sleep.

She felt like she had just closed her eyes, not yet deep in sleep, when suddenly...

A piercing, urgent ringtone sounded, jolting her awake. Opening her eyes, she realized it was her phone ringing. The sky outside hadn’t brightened yet.

She had also only been asleep for less than half an hour.

Xia Qingtian picked up her phone and saw that the incoming call was from Cheng Bingbing.

Considering Cheng Bingbing was pregnant, she feared that something might have happened and hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, Bingbing, what’s up?"

At the same time, she found it strange.

Wasn’t Huo Qilin living with Cheng Bingbing? If there was a problem, why didn’t she call Huo Qilin, but her instead?

Could it be that the two had had a quarrel?

"Sister Qingtian, quickly check the trending topics on the financial news page...hurry!" Cheng Bingbing sounded extremely excited, her voice even breaking a little.

Xia Qingtian found it slightly puzzling, "What happened? Did you win the lottery? Or did your stocks make money?"

"Not that, just take a look and you’ll understand," Cheng Bingbing didn’t answer her directly, but instead kept urging her.

Despite feeling truly exhausted, Xia Qingtian still followed her instructions, ended the call, and opened the news feed on her social media app.

Upon seeing one of the articles, she immediately felt less fatigued, and even her breathing became slightly rapid.

According to the news, Madam Elizabeth’s inheritance would be redistributed.

What made Xia Qingtian so excited was not because of anything else, but because Madam Elizabeth was Zhu Wei’s wife. Zhu Wei’s current high status was due to inheriting his wife’s billion dollar estate.

Now that Madam Elizabeth’s inheritance was being redistributed, this would mean Zhu Wei’s net worth would need to be adjusted.

She eagerly clicked on the news page, wanting to see the updated division of Zhu Wei’s share.

Xia Qingtian quickly skimmed through the news article, which clearly stated that the family of Madam Elizabeth had found a witness who confirmed that the late lady had expressed her wish to entrust her entire property to her family to manage after her death.

They submitted all related evidence to the court, and the court ruled in favor of the family of Madam Elizabeth.

Consequently, Zhu Wei must now return all of Madam Elizabeth’s inheritance in full.

However, Zhu Wei had been living lavishly and had splurged much of Madam Elizabeth’s inheritance, particularly in his recent efforts to deal with Xia Qingtian.

Even though the money he had spent was insignificant compared to Madam Elizabeth’s total inheritance.

However, if Madam Elizabeth’s family insisted, they could demand that Zhu Wei repay all the spent money. If he failed to do so, he could even be imprisoned abroad.

The charges would be embezzlement of their wealth!

Xia Qingtian’s eyes immediately lit up.

Zhu Wei’s comeuppance had finally arrived! Now that he could barely fend for himself, he certainly didn’t have the spare energy to deal with her anymore.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Bingbing couldn’t stop herself from asking, "Sister Qingtian, did you finish reading the news? "

"Yes, I saw it," Xia Qingtian promptly replied.

"Isn’t it a pleasant surprise?" There was excitement in Cheng Bingbing’s voice, "I got up to use the bathroom this morning and thought I’d kill some time on my phone, that’s when I saw this news."

"At first, I thought I was dreaming. After all, you were joking about this just yesterday, so I thought it was a case of dreams being influenced by my thoughts. But then my phone slipped and hit my toe. Only when the pain hit did I realize that this isn’t a dream, it’s real."

"Sister Qingtian, tell me the truth. Is your mouth blessed or something? Your words are spot on every time."

Even Xia Qingtian felt this situation was somewhat unreal.

She pinched her own face, knowing that this wasn’t an illusion, only when she felt the pain in her cheek.

How could things have taken such a surreal turn?

Even in fictional stories, such development would be deemed unbelievable.

It was like a dream come true.

"Bingbing, I’m so happy, really happy," Xia Qingtian said, her voice trembling, "we no longer have to worry about the company being in trouble."

"Yes, I’m happy for you too, Sister Qingtian," Cheng Bingbing cheerfully replied.

She genuinely felt that this trip to the bathroom had been totally worth it.

"Rest assured, once the company is out of this difficult period, I promise I won’t let you and Qilin down," Xia Qingtian assured her.

This would serve as a reward for her and Huo Qilin’s unwavering support during the company’s difficult times.

"Sure," Cheng Bingbing readily agreed.

Even without this promise, she wouldn’t mind, because she knew that no matter what, Xia Qingtian would never let her and Huo Qilin down.

Now with Zhu Wei out of the picture, there was a lot that Xia Qingtian could do. At this point, she felt no fatigue or sleepiness at all.

"Bingbing, it’s still early, sleep some more. I have something to take care of, so I won’t chat with you any longer." Leaving these words, she hung up the phone.

Then she quickly got out of bed, washed up, and left the house.

Over the next few days, Xia Qingtian kept herself busy with company affairs from dawn till dusk.

Yet she didn’t feel a bit tired, in fact, the busier she got, the more energetic she felt.

On the third day after Zhu Wei lost Madam Elizabeth’s inheritance, he finally ran out of ways to obstruct Mr. Sun from returning to China. Mr. Sun called her personally to inform that he could return the next day.

The following day.

Xia Qingtian found out Mr. Sun’s flight details. To show her sincerity, she brought a bouquet of flowers and personally went to the airport with a project plan to pick him up.

Mr. Sun was quite surprised to see her at the airport.

On the way back, the two shared a ride.

During the journey, Xia Qingtian handed over the optimized project plan that she had been working on over the past few days to Mr. Sun.
