Chapter 234: Brother, Do You Know?

“When you want to enter the company, I helped you to obtain Mingya’s president position, Shen Wan. I’ve been generous enough with you.”
Even though he was speaking in a questioning tone and making rough gestures, this man’s face showed nothing but calm and iciness. There were no other emotions visible.
The warmth in his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be ingrained in his bones. Even when he was angry, it was a kind of “gentle explosion.”
Not fierce, not aggressive, not intense, yet still incredibly powerful.
Shen Wan could feel the soreness in her chin and could experience the violence brewing in the man’s eyes up close. At that moment, she wished she had enough physical strength to resist—no talking, no thinking, just fighting!
Unfortunately, she didn’t have that strength, but it didn’t mean she wouldn’t resist.
Her right hand was injured, but she still had her left hand and her legs.
For every step Shen Qian took forward, she would take one step back. It was a deadlock, a confrontation where neither side would yield.
Until Shen Wan backed up against the edge of the bed, with nowhere left to retreat.
“Have I been too indulgent with you, which is why you dare to be so fearless?”
“Shen Qian, you’re overestimating yourself.” Suppressing the pain in her cheeks, Shen Wan sneered. “Even without you, Dad would find a way to make me attend the anniversary party. I gained approval from the circle because Quan Hanting invited me to dance. As for you, besides standing by and saying a few pleasing words, what else have you done?”
The man’s gaze deepened. “Do you think that without my ‘pleasing words,’ my mom would have easily agreed?”
“Yanyan, you always see the good in others…” But you consistently turn a blind eye to me.
Shen Wan didn’t see his hesitation to speak, “Even if the anniversary party had your contribution, the deal with President Mingya has nothing to do with you because it was a negotiation I conducted with my grandpa.”
“A deal?” The man’s brow furrowed, “What do you mean?”
“It seems you didn’t know…” She chuckled. Even though her smile lacked any aesthetic appeal when it was forced under someone’s grip, she still smiled.
She laughed at his self-righteousness and at the fate of the next generation of the Shen family. They were manipulated by Shen Zongming like puppets, even the heir he had painstakingly groomed couldn’t have an open and honest relationship with his grandfather.
The large palm that had gripped her chin slightly relaxed, and a dark glint passed through Shen Wan’s eyes too quickly to catch.
“Brother, do you want to know?”
Shen Qian had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t be good news, and indeed—
“Because that dance made Grandpa feel that the Sixth Lord treats me differently from others. So, he wanted me to get closer to Quan Hanting, whether as a wife or a lover, as long as I can stay by that person’s side and secure more benefits for the Shen family.”contemporary romance
The man’s pupils contracted. “You agreed?”
“Do I have the right to refuse? Luckily, Grandpa gave me Mingya’s president position, so it’s not a bad deal.”
“So, you’re so eager for that position? To the extent of using your body in exchange? Is it that whoever gives you these things, you’ll kneel down and lick them?!” The man disdainfully pushed her face away, as if he couldn’t wait to get rid of something dirty. His eyes were filled with restrained and suppressed anger, causing his eye sockets to redden and blood vessels to surface.

“Speak!” Just as he raised his hands, preparing to grasp Shen Wan’s shoulders, a slender figure slipped through from under his raised arm and quickly opened the door, escaping like lightning.
Shen Qian reacted and stepped forward to chase after her.
The wooden spiral staircase echoed with the hurried footsteps of two figures, one after the other, creating a clattering sound….
