Chapter 35: Whatever you owe me, pay me back twice as much
Qin Yanfeng only heard a soft laugh from the person next to him, "It's a superior-subordinate relationship."
"Did you get the recording that Bian Shu gave you?"
Shen Manzhi responded, "Is this why you said thank you?"
Qin Yanfeng put the black bracelet he was playing with back on his hand, "Well, the misinformation was due to our lack of consideration. After the incident, we were also looking for the instigator behind it."
Shen Manzhi knew that within an hour of her infusion, he already knew the content and results of the negotiation, and got the recording.
She clicked her tongue, "The Qin family is really a troublesome place."
The person who spoke in the recording called Qin Yanfeng the Third Young Master, and only the Qin family would call him that.
The man didn't answer, so that must be the case.
Shen Manzhi carefully read the contents of the document in his hand, picked it up and shook it before leaving, "Thank you."
Qin Yanfeng looked stern after the woman got out of the car, "Let's check who leaked the news about the land in the south of the city being used as a club."
Zuo Yi turned around and left the Shen family, "Yes."
Zhou Mi's call didn't come in time. Shen Manzhi had just been sent to the city and it was already ten o'clock.
He stood at the airport exit waiting for someone. There was a bit of noise around him, "Will you go to Loulan Pavilion for a meal later?"
Qin Yanfeng rubbed the black rope on his wrist and closed his eyes. The car drove towards Xiaoman Mountain, "I'm not going. I'm not free these two days. Bai Qing, please help me get settled."
"Take care of me," Zhou Mi narrowed his eyes and looked at the man walking in front of him, "I haven't seen this guy for two years, and he has become even more handsome. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We can get together after you finish your work."
Zhou Mi hung up the phone and waved to the person, but there was no reaction at all, and the focus of his eyes didn't even fall on him.
"..."
How could you not recognize someone who is such a bully after not seeing him for only two years?
"Ai Qing!"
As soon as the clear voice came out, the man looked over and stood there, pushing a twenty-inch suitcase in one hand and holding a space bag in the other.
Zhou Mi sighed inwardly, the nickname must be very powerful.
He took the initiative to walk over and saw what was in his hand at a glance.
Inside the space bag was a beautiful silver Maine Coon cat with green eyes, two pointed airplane ears and a very cold appearance.
Cats need to be checked on the plane.
Zhou Mi bent down and took a look, "You have a cat? This gadget is quite beautiful and looks very domineering, but..."
He glanced twice at Bai Qing, who was as gentle as jade and had a cold temperament in front of him, "This doesn't fit your temperament."
Bai Qing stared at him for several times before closing his eyes and lifting up the space bag in his hand, "It belongs to Ayan. I'll bring it back for him this time."
Zhou Mi took his suitcase and watched Bai Qing let the cat out and stroked the cat's fur for a while before the little thing stretched out and licked his paws.
"His?" Zhou Mi was curious and took the space bag. "The last time I went abroad to look for him, I didn't see any other living things in his house."
"He is away from home for ten of the twelve months out of the year." Bai Qing followed him out and got into the car. "I basically take care of him."
"I'm just telling you, if Brother Yan is not close to women and is cold and ruthless, how can he care about raising...wait a minute," Zhou Mi always felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head to look at the person holding the cat in the back seat.
"What did you say it was called?"
"...Only."
Zhou Mi looked at the cat speechless, looking into the cat's eyes, "Do you know the name of Brother Yan's fiancée?"
Bai Qing fell silent for a moment.
The marriage between the two was mentioned in the friend group during this period, and the woman's name was Shen Manzhi.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then explained, "When Ayan brought it back two years ago, I called it this name. It's a quantifier, one or two."
"Tsk," Zhou Mi suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to scratch the cat's chin, "Just..."
interesting.
Shen Manzhi wandered into the Shen's house carrying the things given by the man. Unexpectedly, he encountered a good show.
"I'm trying to trick people outside to ask people to invest and sponsor, but you're better off! Keep me secretly behind my back!"
Shen Duanwen has reached middle age, but his voice is still as loud as a bell, just like every time he lectured her before.
"I didn't!" Shen Luo retorted with a cry, "Dad, someone must have slandered me. I have nothing to do with that man!"
"It doesn't matter that the woman came to the door? I still want to take you back to deal with it. If your brother hadn't been there, no one would have been able to save you!" Shen Duanwen was so angry at Shen Luo for the first time, "Shameless!"
"Shen Duanwen!" Xie Yulan was guarding Shen Luo and couldn't bear to hear what he said.
"Are you still protecting her? In the past few years, she has been bullying others outside under the title of Miss Shen family. I turned a blind eye and passed by. When did you ever mention her? The Shen family is here. The situation has been getting worse and worse over the past few years, and you have really embarrassed me!"
Shen Manzhi leaned against the threshold. Shen Duanwen was never merciful when he was angry, which was why they always wanted to use his hand to deal with themselves.
The mother-in-law was too frightened by Shen Duanwen to say anything back. In a blink of an eye, she saw Shen Manzhi at the door. Shen Luo stood up and pointed at her, "You have the nerve to come back!"
She walked to Shen Duanwen and looked at the man with tearful eyes, "Dad, it was she who asked me to meet this afternoon. She also admitted that she did it. My brother can testify!"
Shen Manzhi turned a deaf ear and walked into the living room to sit on the sofa and listen to Shen Luo's complaint. He threw the white paper on the coffee table with a flick of his wrist. The conspicuous file name suddenly attracted Shen Duanwen's attention.
"Jiang'an District Development Plan," Shen Duanwen's pupils narrowed, "How come you have this?"
Jiang'an District is a new batch of land for development by the government. The bidding has ended long ago, but Shen Group did not win the bid. Because of this, the shareholders were very dissatisfied. He went to Xiangjiang to seek other cooperation recently.
"Tomorrow is Wednesday." Shen Manzhi looked at him coldly and reminded.
At Shen's shareholders' meeting on Wednesday, if she fails to break off the engagement, she will take back of her shares to attend the shareholders' meeting.
Shen Duanwen was stunned for a moment. He was so busy these days that he forgot about this.
The eldest daughter is so arrogant and domineering that she wants to break up the relationship with him, and the younger daughter is secretly playing tricks on him.
He fell down on the sofa, holding his face in his hands and resting it on his knees. He suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.
"Duan Wen." Xie Yulan walked over, bent down and patted the man's back gently, with a hint of distress in her tone.
I don't know if he was pretending, but Shen Manzhi clasped his hands and looked at him without showing any emotion.
Xie Yulan looked at Shen Manzhi and said thoughtfully, "Manzhi, please don't cause trouble for your father at this time. The cooperation in Xiangjiang has not been negotiated, and the shareholders of the company are ready to make moves. Do you really want to prevent your father from stepping down? "
"Why, you guys couldn't break off the engagement, so you started spreading rumors that I was cheating on a college student and throwing dirty water on me. Now that you see that the situation is not good for you, you're starting to beat me up again?"
Shen Manzhi looked at her coldly, "Xie Yulan, when you paid for the employees' salaries of Shen's subsidiaries in advance to make up for the debt owed by your distant eldest brother, why didn't you expect today?"
"Shut up!" Xie Yulan raised her eyebrows coldly, "That's nonsense, what evidence do you have..."
Shen Manzhi tilted his head and smiled, "Everyone can see this evidence at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow." "When did it happen?"
Shen Duanwen raised his head and looked at his well-maintained wife with red eyes. The wrinkles between his brows deepened and he remembered something, "A year ago, the capital chain of Liangwan Cosmetics Company collapsed. Was it because of your advance salary increase?"
He only heard that Xie Yulan misappropriated public funds and automatically ignored them spreading rumors about her. Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Xie Yulan was startled by the man's voice, and her tone was a bit weak, "It's not me... Duan Wen, it's not me... don't listen to her nonsense..."
Shen Luo also realized that something was wrong. Looking at her mother's reaction, she suddenly remembered what Shen Manzhi said at the ASP club in the afternoon.
["Not only that, I also reported what your distant uncle did in Huaicheng. By the way, your mother Xie Yulan also participated in the dividends. She emptied her own treasury last time. Do you think she How long can you keep Shen Duan Wen a secret?"]
She quickly ran over and climbed onto her father's arm, "Dad, don't let her lie to you. She also found that woman in Xiangjiang. She actually wants to monopolize your shares. Dad, don't believe her!"
"Shut up and get out of here!" Shen Duanwen was furious. He threw away Shen Luo's hand and grabbed Xie Yulan, "Tell me everything!"
Xie Yulan winked and told Shen Luo to leave it alone, and began to use the gentle knife on Shen Duanwen with tears in her eyes.
Shen Manzhi was not in the mood to watch. Anyway, the purpose of estrangement was achieved, so she picked up the plan and left.
"Wait," Shen Luo stopped her, "Are you proud now? You deliberately called me out this afternoon, and that woman from Xiangjiang came and made me look embarrassed in front of the public. You also want to take away the company's shares. You asked Dad What should I do? You still accuse my mother of embezzling public funds...what do you want?"
"Didn't you start it first?"
Shen Manzhi stood in the middle of the long ladder and looked back at her. What Shen Luo said was just to attract Shen Duanwen's attention, but she missed the point.
Shen Duanwen's attention is now focused on the interests of the company and family. Whoever loses the interests of the group will be in bad luck.
She looked at Xie Yulan, who was trying to please the man, with a sneer on her lips. Then she looked at Shen Luo and said word by word, "I want you to pay back double what you owe me."
No matter how she was slandered and abandoned, they had to bear it again.
It’s not an evening paper, it’s just that the time is right.
Besides, she couldn't see the blood.
Then treat the person in his own way.
She went back to Shen's house tonight to pack her things. Not a single inch here belonged to her.
The two children's storybooks on the bookcase and a half-human-tall pink bunny doll on the windowsill are the only two important things she has left here, and they are all related to her mother.
If it weren't for the traces of Zhan Meiren's life here, she would never have set foot here after leaving Huaicheng.
But from now on, there is none.
When she went downstairs, the old lady stood at the top of the stairs waiting for her.
Shen Manzhi stopped, pursed his lips and said nothing. His beautiful eyes were cold and emotionless.
Tonight's quarrel, she thought, was clear.
If you blame her or accuse her, she won't explain anymore.
The old lady held her cane and looked deeply at the granddaughter in front of her, "You don't plan to come back in the future?"
Shen Manzhi was slightly startled, "I'm not coming back."
The old lady was not very kind to her. When she was young, she was bullied by Xie Yulan and her daughter. The old lady did not say a word to help her and never left her alone.
After returning from the capital as an adult, the only thing that made her insist on bringing gifts home to visit the old lady every month was the memory of when she was eight years old.
Shen Duanwen used family methods to injure her and left her bedridden for three months. The old lady personally applied medicine to her. The wound was very painful. The old lady would patiently coax her to sleep. During that period, the old lady Xu spoke, Xie Yulan Mother and daughter did not bully her again.
She always remembered the old lady's kindness.
But in my memory, there is only this one thing.
"Grandma, I'm sorry."
The old lady's expression became concentrated as she watched her granddaughter take away the few belongings and walk downstairs.
This sentence of sorry was a filial piety that she could not persist in.
The old man with gray hair on his temples closed his eyes and said, "It's the Shen family that feels sorry for you."
Shen Manzhi tightened his grip on the suitcase.
Although the old lady's attitude towards her has gradually improved over the past two years, the person who was covered with bruises after rolling over thorns when he was young has not been healed in any way.
There was no answer, and she carried the rabbit doll downstairs. The hall was in a mess and empty, except for the sounds of quarrels coming from the master bedroom on the second floor.
When they reached the garden, Shen Luo chased him out, "Shen Manzhi!"
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Shen Luo held a 6-inch photo in his hand. The lights in the garden were a little dim, but the content of the photo could still be seen.
Beautiful sea view photos.
Shen Luo looked at her with a bit of pride and slowly tore up the photo, "It doesn't matter if I did it. I just told the public about your dirty deeds. What evidence do you have now?"
Shen Manzhi smiled lazily, put the doll on the suitcase and sat down, walking towards Shen Luo step by step, his eyes filled with the bloodthirsty feeling of catching prey.
Shen Luo's originally complacent expression suddenly calmed down and she took two steps back, "What are you doing? This is at home!"
Before she could see Shen Manzhi's movements clearly, someone pressed her against the flower stand behind her and grabbed her throat, "Ahem."
Shen Manzhi's fair hands pinched Shen Luo's slender neck, like pinching an easy-to-break flower branch. With a little force on her hand, a patch of red appeared around her, and blue veins stood out.
"Shen Luo, you know very well that I have no bottom line."
"Let go. Ahem."
Shen Luo's face turned red quickly, her hands were struggling with the other hand on her neck, and she was almost out of breath.
The hand holding his neck slowly tightened, and Shen Luo felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation. The next moment, the feeling of confinement disappeared.
Then she met a pair of smiling eyes, but their eyes were full of killing.
Shen Manzhi took back his hand and patted it as if he had touched something dirty. Without looking at her again, he picked up the thing and left.
Shen Lu covered his neck and gasped, looking at the woman's back with crimson eyes, and murmured hoarsely, "Ahem, madman."
The curtains were drawn on the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor to block out the last trace of light.
There was a black Rolls-Royce parked outside the villa. The burly man was waiting beside the car, stepped forward to pick up the box and put it in the trunk.
Shen Manzhi stuffed the doll into the back seat and sat in. He leaned his head against the back of the chair and put his hands on his forehead to cover his eyes.
The man put on his seat belt and looked at the people in the back seat from the rearview mirror. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Go back to where?"
The woman was silent for a while, pinched the rabbit's tail, and sighed softly, "Go back to Maple Bridge County."
