Upon hearing this, Chen Ying felt reassured and asked, âIs there any news from Chi Ming?â
At the mention of this, Shen Qingyueâs mood instantly sank. She had tried calling Chi Ming today, but still couldnât get through. The same was true for Zhang Jianci and Chen Jiang. However, she was tied up with her family matters now, and could only ask others to investigate. Yet, there was still no news of Chi Ming.
Her voice was almost inaudible, âPerhaps no news is the best news. Iâve been waiting at the disaster site all day, searching everywhere. If news suddenly comes, it might be about Chi Mingâs death. Iâd rather have no news at all.â
Chen Ying sensed her despondency and didnât dare to continue asking. She quickly changed the topic, âGrandpa Shen woke up during the day. Should we tell him about Yan Xi? I feel thereâs something suspicious about Yan Xi getting the property transfer agreement. Although Grandpa cares about family, heâs not foolish. Transferring the group to Yan Xi now⦠isnât that a joke?â
âI donât plan to tell him about this for now. He canât handle any more shocksâ¦â Shen Qingyue was well aware of Shen Junâs health condition. Another surgery might make it difficult for him to recover.
âBut if you hide it from him and deal with Yan Xi, wonât he be angry?â Chen Ying was concerned. After all, Yan Xi was Grandpa Shenâs own granddaughter. Some things were really hard for them to handle.
âPerhaps⦠but I have to do this.â At first, she had let Yan Xi be, thinking she wouldnât do anything harmful to Shen Jun. But now? Yan Xi did not care about Shen Jun at all. If she let her continue unchecked, the Shen family would be ruined. She couldnât bear to see her grandpa get hurt again.
Chen Ying knew she was in a difficult position and said, âTake care of yourself. Iâm here for you.â
Shen Qingyueâs heart warmed, âThank you.â
The next day was the inauguration ceremony prepared for Yan Xi by Xu Fengzhi and others. The venue was chosen at the cityâs most luxurious hotel, decorated extravagantly and high-end.
This was Yan Xiâs personal choice. Since becoming the Young Miss of the Shen family, she demanded the most expensive things in every aspect of her life. In just a few days, she spent money that most ordinary people hadnât seen in their lifetime.
To pave the way for Yan Xi, Xu Fengzhi naturally invited the heads of major companies, but to her surprise, half of them did not show up. She did not want to admit it, but what was her identity? And what was Yan Xiâs status? Without an invitation from Shen Jun or Shen Qingyue, who would give them face? Did they really think this was some entertainment news, that anyone and everyone would come to watch the show?
Seeing this situation, Yan Xiâs composure shattered. âAunt, why havenât several big business tycoons come? What does this mean? Do they look down on me?â
Xu Fengzhi couldnât care less about Yan Xi, but it was precisely because of this foolish woman that she had some use. She smiled and reassured her, âYouâre overthinking it! Youâre now the Young Miss of the Shen family. Who would dare to look down on you? The people I invited are all big shots in the business world; theyâre very busy, probably just too occupied to make it.â
Hearing this, Yan Xiâs mood slightly improved.
Not long after, Shen Qingyue arrived. She was dressed in a white turtleneck cashmere sweater, covered with a black coat. Her long black hair was tied at the back of her head, and her whole demeanor was sharp and confident, exuding a strong aura.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yan Xi glanced at herself. Clearly, she was dressed elegantly, but she still felt overshadowed by Shen Qingyue. She gritted her teeth and approached with a bright smile. âI thought you wouldnât come todayâ¦â
Shen Qingyue gave her a glance. âWhat? Afraid Iâll steal your thunder? I think thereâs no need to compete, right?â
Yan Xiâs face stiffened. She might have dressed expensively, but her understanding of elegance was simply piling valuable things on herself, ignoring the advice of stylists. So, her outfit looked a bit tacky. âSister Qingyue, what are you saying? Today is my inauguration. I was just worried that you, the former President, might feel awkward.â
Shen Qingyue sneered, âThe inauguration ceremony hasnât even finished yet, and the work hasnât been handed over. How am I already the former President? I know you donât understand these things, but at least try to learn. Donât embarrass yourself the moment you open your mouth.â
Her words were sharp, showing no intention of calming the situation.
Yan Xi felt mocked again, her face turning ugly. She clenched her teeth and continued to smile. âSister Qingyue, youâve misunderstood meâ¦â
As she spoke, she caught sight of two more people entering the room from the corner of her eye, a sly smile flickering in her eyes. She knew very well that the person Shen Qingyue least wanted to see was Qin Zhen, especially when she saw Wei Jiuâer holding onto Qin Zhen.. Yan Xi immediately greeted Qin Zhen warmly, âPresident Qin, youâre here!â
