Yesterday was a day of fighting and hiding, and it was too tiring.
Shen Mu stayed indoors all day.
It wasn’t until dark that she hastily tidied up and went downstairs to find some late-night snacks.
As she passed by Shen Qingxue’s room, she heard the laughter of a man and a woman coming from inside.
Unfortunately, the door was not tightly closed, and every word was clearly audible to Shen Mu.
“Xue’er, I heard that Shen Mu has a brokerage company under her name. Is that true?”
“It’s true, but my sister doesn’t understand how to run a company at all. Dad said he wants to sell the company!”
Shen Mu frowned.
That company was the only tangible inheritance left to her by her mother, and it was meant to be her dowry for marrying into the Lu family.
Shen Lishan didn’t even bother to ask and wanted to sell the company?
“Xize, my sister and you do have an engagement, and it’s not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing in public…”
“Xue’er, don’t say that! You are the only person I love! Don’t worry, the investment you got from Mr. Zhang has already solved my problem. I will soon be able to break off the engagement and marry you in style!”
“Of course, I had dinner with Mr.
Zhang!
You don’t know, he always tries to make advances on me!
I almost suffered a loss!””I’m sorry, Xue’er…”
The rustling of clothes could be heard, and the room was filled with shy voices, making the listener blush and heart race.
Very well, Shen Qingxue sold her to Mr.
Zhang just to get an investment.
Shen Mu finally understood.
As she lifted her foot to leave, a passing servant shouted, “Miss, what are you doing here?”
Shen Muxin’s heart skipped a beat.
As expected, the next second the door opened and Shen Qingxue walked out in her nightgown, her face rosy and her hair lazily scattered over her shoulders.
With a single glance, she dismissed the servant and coquettishly exclaimed, “Sister, how could you eavesdrop on me like that…” Get faster updates on g.com.
Shen Muxin’s heart contracted with pain.
She thought that the original Shen Muxin must have been very fond of Lu Xize, so much so that she would beg for his attention, bowing and scraping just to get a single glance from him.
Suppressing the palpitations in her heart, Shen Muxin asked about the matter with the brokerage company.
“What happened?”
Shen Qingxue covered her mouth and giggled.
“You mean that little broken company your mother left you? What else could happen? Shen’s liquid assets are insufficient, so they sold it!”
Shen Muxin frowned, and Shen Qingxue continued, “You don’t want to give it up, do you? After all, your dead mother didn’t leave you anything good. Why don’t you kneel down and beg me? I’ll go to Father and plead with him to give the company back to you?”
Shen Muxin reached out and pulled Shen Qingxue’s nightgown, covering her half-exposed shoulder, and sneered, “Beg you? Are you even worthy?”
Taking advantage of Lu Xize’s presence, Shen Qingxue was very bold.
She grabbed Shen Muxin’s hand and pressed it against her wound, her eyes and eyebrows filled with pride.
“Sister, this is where you’re wrong. I was trying to help you, but why don’t you appreciate it? Not everyone is as kind as me, willing to give you a little bit of goodwill!”
“You, look at yourself. Your mother died early, your father doesn’t care about you, and even your fiancé was given to me. You can’t even keep the memento left by your mother. How pathetic!”
Shen Mu’s face turned cold as she said, “Let go.”
Shen Qingxue was smug, “I won’t let go! What can you do? How does it feel to have your beloved man stolen from you? Shen Mu, look at me! I am the daughter of the Shen family, you are nothing compared to even a dog!”
“Smack!” Shen Mu raised her other hand and slapped her hard!
“Ah!” Shen Qingxue screamed and ran back to her room, hurriedly snuggling into Lu Xize’s arms, looking like a white lotus flower, trembling as she said, “Xize, save me!”Lu Xize hugged Shen Qingxue with heartache, looked at Shen Mu who came in afterwards, and angrily said, “Shen Mu! What are you trying to do? Are you crazy?!”
Shen Mu took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of the two of them, casually saying, “Let’s take some bed photos for you two, let the whole city of Bin Hai see how good your relationship is.”
“Shen Mu!
Are you crazy?” Lu Xize quickly covered himself with the blanket and scolded, “Are you an exhibitionist?
Who takes pictures of this kind of thing?”
Shen Mu raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Qingxue, “Doesn’t Qingxue know best whether I am an exhibitionist or not? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been sent to a cage!”
“Cage? What cage?” Lu Xize frowned and asked.
Shen Mu hadn’t spoken yet, and Shen Qingxue immediately interrupted her anxiously, “Sister, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have been with Xize. I’ll leave now!”
With tears in her eyes, Shen Qingxue got out of bed and put on her shoes.
Lu Xize pulled her back and sighed wearily, saying, “Shen Mu, if you have something to say, come to me. Don’t bother Xue’er anymore. It was my insistence to be with her, and it has nothing to do with her!” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Shen Mu didn’t argue and just smiled slightly.
“I’ve said it before. It’s none of my business that you two are together. Just remember to close the door next time before getting into bed. Otherwise, the whole Shen family can hear your pillow talk. You two have no shame, and I feel embarrassed for you.”With that, Shen Mu turned and left the room, slamming the door shut.
Lu Xize was stunned for a moment and asked, “Didn’t you close the door just now?”
Shen Qingxue immediately looked aggrieved.
“How could I? Xize, can you believe her? She deliberately opened the door to cause trouble!”
Lu Xize lost his temper when he saw Shen Qingxue crying, but after comforting her, he lost his interest and left the Shen family in a hurry.
Shen Mu went straight to Shen Lishan’s study.
She couldn’t let her mother’s heirloom be sold!
In the study, Shen Lishan was looking at the report on the table, and Xu Ruyun was standing behind him, massaging his shoulders and saying softly, “Does it really not matter if we sell the company? Little Mu will be upset, won’t she?”
Shen Lishan frowned unhappily.
“What right does she have to be upset? This company doesn’t belong to her mother alone! If it weren’t for me supporting it for so many years, it would have collapsed long ago!”
“You’re right. Little Mu is the eldest daughter of the Shen family and should contribute more to the family!”
Shen Mu pushed the door open and asked coldly, “What do you want in exchange? My mother’s life, her entire inheritance, or my life? Do you all want to take it away?”
Shen Lishan leaned back in his chair and impatiently glanced at her, saying, “What does it have to do with you when it comes to the elders’ affairs? Get out!”
Shen Mu picked up a few reports on the table and sneered, “Thirty million… even the market valuation is already done? Is this how my father plans to secretly sell off the dowry my mother left me?”
Xu Ruyun immediately spoke softly, “Xiao Mu, how can you say that about your father? You…”
“I’m talking to my father, please shut up!” Shen Mu looked at her coldly.
“Ms. Xu, keep your little schemes to yourself! I don’t want to see your act of being a virtuous wife and loving mother right now!”
Xu Ruyun was about to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, “You… still treat me as an outsider!”
“Shen Mu!” Shen Lishan slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Apologize to your mother!”
Shen Mu sneered, “My mother has been dead for over a decade, how can I apologize?”
Xu Ruyun pulled Shen Lishan’s arm and said softly, “Honey, forget it. She’s not the first one to defy me. As an elder, why should I argue with her…”
Seeing his wife’s aggrieved look, Shen Lishan became even angrier, “Shen Mu! Let me tell you, I’m the one in charge of this family! This company will definitely be sold if I say so! The acquisition day is in three days! Even if you make a fuss, it won’t make a difference!”
