Hu Jin instinctively denied it. "I did not!"
Ming Lingyi asked, "Then have you seen the property's deed?"
Hu Jin gritted his teeth. "Boss Hu is a major merchant here. He's a man of his word, and we all trust him. When I wanted to rent a restaurant on Vermilion Bird Street, why would I need to see the deed? Every merchant in the whole Capital City knows this property belongs to the Hu family."
Ming Lingyi feigned a look of sudden realization. "Oh, I see. So you didn't know. Well, that makes things simple. I can take out the contract I signed with Boss Feng right now, and we can go to the Jingzhao Mansion together to file a complaint against Hu Tuchao."
As she said this, a sly smile touched Ming Lingyi's eyes. She sounded as if she were genuinely offering Hu Jin advice.
