Chu Yi and Long Hua both felt a sudden surge in their hearts. They exchanged a glance and spoke in tacit agreent.
"We can put up ten million. You know we have many mouths to feed under us."
"Miss, the Qing Gang can also put up five million," Li Qing said slowly after a mont’s consideration.
"I can also offer one million," Zhong Mingyang added quickly.
"That’s a total of twenty-six million now. Rest assured, your money will be considered an investnt, and you won’t miss out on the dividends. Crazy Doctor, get soone to make a budget. See how much we need in total; if it’s not enough, I’ll find another way." Shangguan You’s brows furrowed slightly as she handed a card to Zhong Mingyang. Although she was very wealthy, she only had access to a few million at the mont. Large sums of money were still beyond her reach.
Next, Shangguan You instructed them on so issues to be mindful of. They exchanged phone numbers, as she was leaving tomorrow. If anything unresolved ca up, they could contact her.
With Chu Yi’s and Long Hua’s status in B City, there was almost no issue they couldn’t solve, so Shangguan You wasn’t too worried. Moreover, with the Loyalty Curse, she felt even more at ease.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Zhang Ma dressed her beautifully, and she boarded the plane back to Beijing.
Looking at the clear blue sky outside the window and the clouds drifting by, a faint, cold pang of pain flashed through Shangguan You’s deep eyes. Beijing. I’ve finally set foot on this land once again. This place holds all the love, pain, and hatred from my ti as Shen Wanyou—my entire family, all my friends, everything I had was once here.
A fierce fire blazed in her heart—that bone-deep hatred for Shen Cheng and Wanqian. She had the urge to ruthlessly trample her enemies underfoot, to make them weep while she laughed.
She wanted them kneeling at her feet, begging for her forgiveness.
She would watch them as she laughed with abandon, destroy everything they possessed, and ensure the Shen Consortium vanished from this world forever!
At this thought, her hands clenched even tighter, and her body trembled slightly with a thrill as a formidable aura emanated from her.
"Miss, what’s wrong?" Zhang Ma asked, noticing the change in Shangguan You, and gently embraced her. Thinking Shangguan You was nervous about returning to the Shangguan Family, Zhang Ma softly consoled her.
"Miss, don’t be scared. When we return to the Shangguan Family, you’ll have the Old Master and . And if things don’t work out, we can go to the Madam. We don’t have to stay with the Shangguan Family. Besides, I’ll make sure that despicable mother and daughter never bully you again."
"Zhang Ma, I’m fine," Shangguan You said, calming herself and speaking gently. That’s right, how could I forget? In Beijing, not only are my enemies waiting, but also the enemies of this body’s original owner. I promised I would help her repay every debt owed to her, bit by bit.
I wonder how Zhuge Feng is doing in Beijing? Shangguan You’s mind suddenly conjured an image of that deer-like man, his moist, bright eyes gazing at her softly with a gentle sheen.
"Miss, if that shaless mother and daughter bully you again, you must not endure it. Make sure you teach them a proper lesson," Zhang Ma said softly as she patted Zi Yuqian’s back, concern flashing in her eyes.
"Yes." Shangguan You nodded, the warmth lting the iciness in her heart. Suddenly, a piercing gaze swept over her, so intense and sharp that she couldn’t help but look up.
Her gaze fell upon a pair of bewitching phoenix eyes belonging to a man with a devilishly handso face—a face that seed to smile yet remained cold. Upon eting Shangguan You’s deep eyes, he nodded at her, his lips curving into an enticing smile. His white shirt was loosely buttoned, revealing a glimpse of his wheat-colored skin underneath.
The man’s every casual expression and movent exuded an irresistible, imperial charm that captivated every woman on the plane; even the pretty flight attendants couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Indeed, this man was none other than Ye San Shao.
Show-off, Shangguan You thought, withdrawing her gaze and muttering under her breath. Encountering this jinx, I’m bound to have bad luck. Besides, this man is too dangerous; his aura is too overwhelming. I’d better stay as far away from him as possible, hopefully never crossing paths with him in this lifeti. I also don’t want any association with Ye San Shao.
Shangguan You withdrew her gaze and lazily closed her eyes, slowly circulating the Spiritual Energy within her body and practicing the dicine King Canon to pass the ti. Even with her eyes closed, she could still feel that scorching stare on her and distinctly sense the playful, captivating smile on Ye San Shao’s lips.
"Hmph, what’s with the act? Just the daughter of a mistress, what’s so great about her? Putting on airs when she’s only allowed to go ho for holidays—what’s there to be proud of? Soone unpresentable will always be unpresentable!" a voice filled with malice snapped from behind Shangguan You.
"Jia’er, don’t talk nonsense!" Duan i softly chided, covering Shen Jia’s mouth with her hand. They were now heading to Beijing to seek refuge with Shen Cheng, and with nothing settled yet, it was best to avoid trouble.
"Did I say anything wrong? Once we get to Beijing and find Cousin Shen Cheng, we can pay off all the debts we owe. What are you afraid of?" Shen Congming snapped irritably. His business had inexplicably failed, been seized without warning, and he was now saddled with a mountain of debt. If not for Shen Cheng’s willingness to help—owing to a favor Shen Congming had done for him in the past—they would never have had the chance to go to Beijing; he would still be dodging creditors. Now that Shen Cheng had agreed to help repay their debts and arrange positions for them within the Shen Family, he finally saw a chance to make a coback. Just three days ago, his precious daughter had been utterly humiliated in front of Shangguan You and the entire nation. His business had also been inexplicably ruined that sa day. Their whole family had plumted from heaven to hell, living like rats scurrying through the streets, despised by everyone, for several days. Now, as ill fate would have it, their paths crossed again. How could he possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
