Xiang-Nuan pressed her lips tightly, unable to speak.
"Not everyone will understand you. People will just think he's your biological father, and no matter what, you can't be so heartless to him. The PR costs to suppress public opinion will be more than just this amount of money."
"He's already found the nursing ho. If you don't consider yourself, won't you think about your mom? So things don't need to be handled head-on. As long as they can be resolved cleanly, that's enough."
Xiang-Nuan lowered her head, twisting her fingers. "Got it."
Shen Yanshi glanced back at her, pursing his lips. "Xiang-Nuan, he is him, and you are you. Even if you're related by blood, it doesn't an you're tied together. What he does, you don't need to feel ashad of."
Xiang-Nuan was slightly taken aback. She looked up at him. He was gazing nonchalantly at the traffic ahead, half of his profile hidden in the light and shadow, still so calm and composed.
Shen Yanshi had always been like this. Sotis she felt he was unfeeling, sotis she thought he lacked warmth. She assud soone like him must be the coldest, incapable of understanding anyone.
Yet this very person could now sense the sha buried deep in her heart.
"Don't worry about your dad's matter. Leave it to ."
"How will you handle it?"
"Use the right thods for the right people. There's no one who can't be dealt with. Just trust ."
Xiang-Nuan pressed her lips tightly, not answering.
Shen Yanshi spoke calmly, "Xiang-Nuan, people need to recognize the tis. Simply being stubborn won't solve problems."
"Then what should I do?"
"Of course, use all the people and things you can. For instance, right now, you should think about how to use to deal with your dad, instead of holding grudges and trying to distance yourself from ."
Find the original at ".
Xiang-Nuan: "..."
He was right. She was indeed thinking about distancing herself from him.
After the incident with Qin-An, she had decided never to have any entanglent with him again. But she hadn't expected Zhao Chenggang's matter to drag him in.
She didn't want to owe him anything.
She turned her head back to the front, feeling a bit unnatural. "Why are you suddenly here?"
"Passing by."
"Passing by the nursing ho?" Xiang-Nuan felt his answer was an insult to her intelligence.
"Are you trying to track my movents?"
Xiang-Nuan: "..."
"Open the compartnt in front."
Xiang-Nuan opened it and found a small box inside.
"A birthday gift."
He actually rembered her birthday.
Xiang-Nuan opened the box. It was a string of Bodhi beads.
"I heard it can bring peace."
"Is President Shen giving a sweet treat after a slap?"
"Did I hit you? Wasn't it you who hit ?"
Xiang-Nuan was montarily speechless.
"We're here." Shen Yanshi turned the steering wheel, parked the car, and then opened the door to get out.
Xiang-Nuan had no choice but to follow him into the restaurant.
It was a western restaurant with good privacy, and they went straight into a private room.
After sitting down, Xiang-Nuan took a deep breath, deciding to have an open and honest conversation with him.
She placed the gift box on the table. "I appreciate your help today, but we're not in a relationship where we need to exchange birthday gifts."
She had made up her mind to cut ties with him and didn't want to get entangled with him again because of Zhao Chenggang's matter.
His expression changed slightly but then he spoke calmly, "It's just a birthday gift. What relationship could it imply?"
His voice was cold. "Don't overestimate yourself. Do you think I could be interested in a woman who has soone else in her heart?"
Xiang-Nuan's face burned. His attitude made her previous serious talk seem shaless.
"It was just sothing I had Assistant Lin buy and left in the car. I happened to run into you today, so I gave it to you."
"Oh..."
Xiang-Nuan swallowed. "That's for the best."
Shen Yanshi's eyes darkened. He picked up the water glass and took a sip.
