Chapter 110: The Appearance of the Land King

Shi Yuke asked her to meet at a quiet cafe in the suburbs; Yingzi wanted to go, but Jian Yining was worried and insisted on accompanying her.

She refused: "Don't worry, Shi Yuke won't do anything to me. I understand her; if you go with me, she might get jealous, and that would be even more disadvantageous for me."

Shi Youxuan understood her sister; Shi Yuke had wanted to be a princess since she was a child, and she hoped that all the men in the world would like her and revolve around her alone!

Especially men who were handsome and wealthy.

If such a man showed great concern for another woman in front of her, she would be very angry, angry to the point of madness.

In the end, she still went to the agreed-upon cafe alone.

When Shi Youxuan arrived, Shi Yuke had already arrived, and seeing her, she waved to signal: "Hi, Yingzi, I'm here!"

The two sat opposite each other, and a waiter brought over a drink menu; Shi Youxuan didn't like coffee, so she ordered a glass of lemonade.

"What do you want with me? You can say it now."

Shi Yuke stared at her face for a long time before saying: "My dad said you look a lot like the sister I lost. Where is the resemblance? Although my sister is an idiot, she is much prettier than you."

Shi Youxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had still overestimated this sister.

Shi Yuke had always only looked at faces and could see nothing else.

Shi Youxuan picked up her water glass, took a sip, put it down, and made a move to leave: "Is that all you came to find me for? Then are you finished? If you're finished, I'm leaving; I have plenty of things to do and no time to keep you company."

"Sit down, what's the rush? There's still serious business to discuss."

Shi Yuke pulled Shi Youxuan to sit back down, her face full of curiosity: "Hey, what's the meaning of you pretending to be a Special Nurse and going to take care of my father every day? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to him?"

Shi Youxuan raised the water glass in front of her, and the entire glass of lemonade splashed onto Shi Yuke's face—"Ah!"

She screamed and stood up, raising her hand to strike, but she didn't expect a "slap" to land on her right cheek, leaving a bright red five-finger print clearly on her face.

Shi Yuke covered her face, feeling only a burning, stinging pain!

But she didn't dare to fight back; the woman opposite her had a gaze so fierce it was as if she wanted to eat someone, and her movements were too fast—if a real fight broke out, she definitely wouldn't be a match for her.

"I was just making a joke, you're being too excessive." Shi Yuke, the villain, made the first complaint.

"Try saying that again?" Yingzi's tone was very fierce.

Shi Yuke could only swallow her anger after being splashed and slapped; she still had important matters to discuss, and provoking her rashly would do her no good at all. Now, she regretted it.

So, she found a way to back down: "Fine, fine, I won't lower myself to your level. Are you interested in that plot of land on the outskirts of the city?"

There was a plot of land on the east side of Jiangcheng ready to be sold, and the two most competitive companies were Dingsheng Group and Sheng Group. Tianma didn't usually engage in industrial business, but if they could get their hands on this land, it would be a steady, profitable deal.

Everyone wanted to eat this "fat piece of meat," and Shi Youxuan was also tempted.

But she remained calm, kept a straight face, and said to Shi Yuke: "Apologize."

If she immediately showed strong interest in the land, Shi Yuke would hold out for a better price and immediately propose excessive conditions.

But by still fixating on the previous incident, Shi Yuke would think she wasn't very interested, and whatever they discussed next would be easier to handle.

Sure enough, Shi Yuke began to feel unsure: "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now."

Only then did Shi Youxuan ask about the land.

Shi Yuke proposed to exchange the information prepared by the Sheng Family for twenty percent of Tianma's shares. Tianma's ability to attract money was visible to everyone in Jiangzhou; becoming a shareholder of Tianma was like lying down and winning!

Bai Xue looked down on her precisely because their families were not well-matched in status.

If she became a Tianma shareholder, although she still wouldn't catch up to the Sheng Family, at least it would be enough to be considered well-matched.

"No." Yingzi refused flatly: "I can pay to buy it, but I cannot give you shares."

Shares could not be given, not even a little bit; besides, twenty percent was too much, and a plot of land wasn't worth that many shares.

"Selling is fine too, ten billion." A greedy light appeared in Shi Yuke's eyes.

She thought that when Shi Youxuan got married, the Sheng Family gave a one-hundred-million dowry, plus ten percent of the Sheng Family's shares; she was more than a hundred times better than Shi Youxuan, right?

Selling this information for ten billion was fair and reasonable.

It was just that the idea was beautiful, but the land wasn't worth that price, and it was only the information the Sheng Family used for competition, not the whole plot of land. Shi Yuke was asking for an exorbitant price, and it made Yingzi laugh with anger.

She said to Shi Yuke: "If you want to get benefits from someone, you have to show at least some sincerity. I don't accept this price; you should find someone else."

"How much can you accept?" Shi Yuke began to concede.

Yingzi said unhurriedly: "I have to see the proposal first to see if you are lying to me before I can decide whether to buy your information."

"No."

Now it was Shi Yuke's turn to refuse flatly: "If I let you see it, wouldn't my information be leaked? Once it's leaked, it won't be worth anything. By then, even if you say you won't pay, there's nothing I can do."

Yingzi sneered: "I am not you; I won't play dirty tricks in matters like this."

But Shi Yuke just didn't believe her, and the two ended their negotiation on bad terms.

As soon as Shi Yuke sat in her car, she received a call from her mother-in-law, Bai Xue, saying there was an urgent matter and she must go to the Sheng Family immediately, and if she tried to delay, she would have to bear the consequences.

She had already been hiding for a day, and hiding any longer wouldn't solve anything.

Although she didn't want to go, she still bit the bullet and rushed to the Sheng Family Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Bai Xue lectured her, accusing her of being useless and ruining everything... and finally stated her purpose: the wedding was cancelled.

If she agreed, she should bring her luggage and move over immediately; if she didn't agree, she should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce procedures!

This was clearly making things difficult, and Shi Yuke could certainly see that.

The matter of the missing dowry hadn't been settled yet, and now even the wedding was cancelled?

She agreed on the surface, but turned around and called Yingzi again, agreeing to her conditions.

Top floor office of Ginza.

Yingzi had been avoiding Sheng Hanyu for several days, and finally, she was sitting with him again to discuss matters.

Jian Yining expressed his opinion: "I agree to cooperate with Shi Yuke. That woman is extremely vain and very vengeful, but her foresight is short-sighted. I think it's true that she has Sheng Family information to sell."

Sheng Zerong chimed in: "I agree too, and we can give her a bit more money this time so she gets a taste of the benefits and continues to cooperate later; it will be twice the result with half the effort."

Yun Zhehao also agreed.

Only Sheng Hanyu stared at Yingzi from beginning to end, not saying a single word.

Yingzi felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and glared at him: "Hey, everyone is discussing business, what are you looking at me for? If you look again, I'll dig your eyeballs out."

Everyone else shivered in unison.

No one had ever spoken to Sheng Hanyu like this before; she was truly bold, yet Sheng Hanyu didn't get angry, instead asking a question completely unrelated to the meeting.

"What did you go to the hospital for?"

Oh no, she had only mentioned meeting Shi Yuke at the hospital, and already the clues were discovered.

She felt guilty but put on a brave front: "What's it to you?"

Jian Yining smoothed things over: "Yingzi wants to invest in a hospital, so I took her to take a look, and we didn't expect to run into Shi Yuke at the hospital."

"Right," Yingzi chimed in.

Sheng Hanyu didn't press further, but his intuition told him that the two of them were lying.
