Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Just Taking What We Need
Ye Shu reached out, picked up the kraft bag, opened it, and inside were two identical supplentary agreents.
Just like that pre-marital agreent, Sheng Shaochen’s signature had already been affixed.
The supplentary clauses held only two terms, the conditions he used to entice her into signing the pre-marital agreent.
Help her uncover the cause of her father’s death and reclaim the Ye Group.
A faint warmth slid through Ye Shu’s heart.
This was the rare kindness she still felt from soone after experiencing the chill and betrayal of human relationships following her father’s death.
...
Ye Shu signed her na without hesitation.
“Mr. Sheng, thank you.”
“It’s just a mutual need! However, Miss Ye should still read this pre-marital agreent carefully and morize it well to avoid breach of contract.”
Sheng Shaochen handed the pre-marital agreent to Ye Shu and finally lifted his eyes to look at her, her lake-blue outfit shimring slightly in his deep blue eyes.
Sheng Shaochen’s tone softened imperceptibly, “After all, the penalty for breach is not sothing Miss Ye can afford.”
Then, he lowered his head and continued to review docunts.
Ye Shu’s fingertips trembled as she held the pre-marital agreent.
She almost forgot that Sheng Shaochen was a businessman, and their relationship was rely a transaction with price tags, void of the generous emotions she perceived.
What he offered were the clauses on the supplentary agreent.
And what she had to give was clearly written on the pre-marital agreent.
Ye Shu sat down nearby and browsed through the agreent.
Only then did she understand why he insisted she understand the terms clearly.
It turns out, she had already breached one.
Their mutual agreent was a concealed marriage. Yet today, she blatantly told Gu Zuocheng in front of Guan Jiu that she was married.
Fortunately, she hadn’t revealed that her husband was Sheng Shaochen; otherwise, she would already be facing a penalty of thirty million.
“Mr. Sheng, rest assured, it won’t happen again.”
Ye Shu closed the agreent and returned it to Sheng Shaochen.
Sheng Shaochen looked up at her in surprise, “Have you morized it all?” It had been only three minutes. Although the terms of the agreent weren’t too nurous, for a normal person, it would take at least half an hour to morize.
“I have engraved it in my heart,” Ye Shu assured him, patting her chest lightly.
She had a photographic mory from a young age, a skill that had made her famous back at T University.
“Hmm.” Sheng Shaochen withdrew his gaze and continued reviewing docunts, “Your room is next door. If needed, I will call for you.”
“Oh.” His indifference and aloofness made Ye Shu feel a bit awkward.
She got up and walked to the room next door.
She thought that at least the room he left for her would have a different color sche.
But clearly, she thought too much.
She was just a tool he purchased for having children, available at his convenience and satisfaction.
How could she expect anything more?
Ye Shu organized and stored the clothes from her suitcase.
Then, she took out the notebook laptop her father had left her and placed it on the black mahogany desk.
The laptop was an old model, its keyboard worn out.
Ye Shu powered it on, staring at the password lock on the screen, and tried dozens of passwords, all incorrect.
Ever since she had received this laptop, she had been constantly trying passwords, exhausting all possibilities, yet still unable to unlock it.
She couldn’t understand why Ye Zhongming insisted she keep this old laptop but didn’t tell her the password.
Ye Shu solemnly turned off the laptop, sighed deeply, and flopped down on the bed, feeling sowhat dejected.
Everything that stread into her eyes was in black and white.
Even the light from the crystal chandelier was eerily white.
A wave of suffocation enveloped Ye Shu’s chest, causing her already low spirits to plumt further.
She sat up cross-legged, habitually lit a cigarette, and took a puff.
The white smoke veiled her stunningly beautiful face, concealing her current expression.
Ye Shu swiped her phone screen with one hand, opened a shopping app, and after comparing, chose a sky-blue, star-patterned wallpaper.
She didn’t have sufficient funds to replace the furniture yet, but at least, she could start by changing the dreadful black and white geotric patterned wallpaper.
Ye Shu negotiated a good price with the seller and was about to place the order when the cigarette between her fingers was suddenly pulled away.
