“I found it,” the voice on the other end reported dutifully.
“Tian Shui Real Estate is actively pursuing a high-end luxury residential development project under the Huaihai Group. Also, the incident where you and Shen Qian got into a public altercation and were thrown out by Mingda security has been circulating in the Jingping social circles since last week. It’s said that Young Master Yan even made some sarcastic remarks…”
“What did that little brat say?!” Even through the phone, one could hear his teeth grinding in anger.
The voice on the other end, seemingly used to this reaction, or perhaps indifferent, repeated Young Master Yan’s words, “I said that Lushen is nothing but a pushover, no, a soft-shell crab! He couldn’t even win a fight and got thrown out by security. Isn’t that funny? He managed to make a mess even in a remote place like Ning City. When I return to Jingping, I’ll have to teach him a lesson in manners! Our Four Square City dandies’ reputation is in tatters because of him…”
“Shut up!”
The voice on the other end paused and said, “…Okay.”
Lushen’s face had turned as dark as ink. “What else did you find?”
“The Yan family is very pleased with Shen Qian’s recent behavior and has decided to entrust the development project to him. They have already met, and we are just waiting for the announcement of the results on bid day.”
“How many days until then?”
“Three days.”
“Enough.”
A development project, huh? Shen Qian, you better watch out. I’ll make sure you don’t succeed!
In the eyes of someone who had always played it carefree, a rare glimpse of solemnity emerged…
As usual, Shen Wan continued to go to Mingya, arriving and leaving on time, showing no signs of anything unusual.
After completing her final exams, Shen Yan officially started her summer vacation and naturally moved back home from school. Living under the same roof, with tensions always simmering, conflicts could erupt at any moment, such as now…
“I heard Mingya is on the brink of bankruptcy?”contemporary romance
Shen Wan ignored her and continued to eat her breakfast.
Thud… thud…
Shen Yan reached out from across the table, using her fork to tap the milk glass next to Shen Wan’s hand. “Are you deaf? I asked a question. Can’t you hear me? No manners at all…”
Apart from the two of them, Yang Lan and Shen Ru were also at the dining table, witnessing the scene but choosing not to intervene.
Shen Wan finished the last bite of her sandwich, put down her knife and fork, then picked up a napkin to elegantly wipe her mouth, making no sound throughout the entire process.
Shen Yan’s eyes flashed slightly. In just over half a month away from home, why did Shen Wan seem like a different person?
Previously, she looked malnourished, pale, and frail. Now, although she was still slender, she seemed to have gained a bit of weight, and her skin was more radiant, with a healthy glow.
The biggest change was in her demeanor. Unconsciously, the timid and shy girl had learned to hold her head high and look people in the eye. Her eyes were dark and bright, devoid of any timidity. They were as clear as a mountain stream, pure and transparent.
That face she had once mocked as “clear soup and few ingredients,” perhaps due to the added weight, had become rosy and lost its initial pallor, revealing a hint of delicate charm.
Especially when she looked at people with her eyes, there was an invisible touch of cold arrogance, giving the impression of a mountain of ice and snow that was hard to melt.
In any case, the current Shen Wan not only looked better but also had a completely transformed demeanor.
Shen Yan couldn’t help but furrow her brow, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, a feeling she hadn’t even realized herself—
How could a person change so much?
It was as if she had undergone a complete metamorphosis…
And Shen Wan’s silence felt like a slap in the face, the pain was secondary, the embarrassment was the real issue..
