Chapter 281: Zhu Yiwen Only Cares About Money

The souvenir she and Sheng Hanyu bought at Disney many years ago—she had always used this cup to drink water, and she liked it very much.

Sheng Hanyu had even mocked her because of this cup.

He mocked her for being like a little child, and even said that children in the senior class of kindergarten would look childish using a cup like this...

That's right, Xiaozhu didn't like things like this.

She had once bought a similar cup for Xiaozhu, but it was looked down upon.

The tone of Xiaozhu's voice was exactly the same as his—"Childish!"

She refused to drink the tea but kept staring at the cup; Sheng Hanyu was secretly delighted inside, though his expression remained unchanged: "If you like this cup, I'll give it to you. I'll have someone wash it clean and wrap it up for you to take away in a moment."

"No need."

Shi Youxuan pulled her thoughts back from the memory and began to speak about the main point: "Mr. Sheng, I am officially announcing to you on behalf of Tianma Group that our group will not cooperate with you. Please hold a press conference quickly to clarify things; otherwise, I will go to court to sue you for spreading rumors."

"Okay."

He agreed?

Was it really that straightforward?

"Fine, thank you."

"There is one more thing." Shi Youxuan cleared her throat, her tone entirely professional: "I want to acquire the company in Sheng Hanyu's hands; please name your price."

Before Sheng Hanyu could speak, Wang Yong, who had been waiting at the door, couldn't help but interject: "Not for sale! Our company's business is doing incredibly well right now, what price? What price? Not for sale! Even if you offer a sky-high price, we won't sell."

Sheng Hanyu nodded again: "Right, not for sale, I'll give it to you."

A loud crash came from the doorway; Wang Yong hadn't stood steady and had fallen to the floor.

Was this still his brother?

How could he look like a completely different person when seeing Shi Youxuan? His dominance and decisiveness were nowhere to be found in front of this woman.

He was as obedient as a little lamb!

But Shi Youxuan didn't think so; she felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching a ball of cotton.

Sheng Hanyu agreed to whatever she said, which made her even more passive.

If this got back, Zhu Yiwen would definitely say she and Sheng Hanyu were putting on a show for him.

"Don't, I won't take it for free. I will buy your company at twice its current market value; you won't be at a loss."

"Whatever works."

He agreed again; he was just that easy to talk to.

Not only did he agree to everything, but he also stared at her with a doting gaze.

There were so many people here.

With all the Zhu Family bodyguards present, Sheng Hanyu was being so completely undisguised. Not to mention what Zhu Yiwen would think if he knew, even Shi Youxuan now knew it was very inappropriate.

"Ahem—"

She cleared her throat to remind him: "Mr. Sheng, please be respectful."

"Mm."

He agreed again, but still stared at her without blinking.

His staring made her furious and exhausted her last bit of patience; Shi Youxuan snapped: "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig your eyeballs out."

This sentence was so familiar.

She had once threatened to dig out his eyes in this very "fierce and menacing" way.

She thought she was being very fierce, but in reality, she was super adorable and especially cute.

Sheng Hanyu really wanted to pull her into his arms; her goodness and her cuteness belonged only to him.

But he couldn't; at least not right now.

The room was full of Zhu Family people, so he had to restrain himself.

That's right, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were simply not on the same wavelength.

To Sheng Hanyu, not pulling her into his arms in front of so many people was the greatest restraint!

As for the burning gaze... wasn't that to be expected?

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it at all.

"You are talking to me, it would be impolite if I didn't look at you." Sheng Hanyu offered an explanation, sophistically calling it "politeness."

After justifying himself, he scanned his surroundings, but his gaze toward others instantly turned into an icy scrutiny.

His tone was even colder: "Get out."

"I have business secrets to discuss with my wife; it is inconvenient for you to be here."

This time he mentioned the word "wife," but without a surname in front of it.

Sheng Hanyu was playing a little trick here; he only acknowledged Shi Youxuan as his wife, but to the ears of the Zhu Family bodyguards, this form of address was also acceptable.

No one left, but their gazes all turned in unison toward Shi Youxuan.

"It is convenient for them to be here."

Shi Youxuan said: "I have finished saying what I wanted to say. I believe Mr. Sheng is a man of his word. Since you have already agreed to sell the company, I will have someone come over to deliver the check when I return, and we can handle the transfer procedures at the same time."

She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

If she had known it would go this smoothly, she would have brought the person in charge of the paperwork directly.

Sheng Hanyu, however, said: "There is no rush for the transfer procedures. The price hasn't been set yet, and who is the company being transferred to? There are many things to discuss; my wife is a bit too impatient."

Only then did Shi Youxuan realize why he had agreed so readily just now; it turned out he was waiting for her here.

When it comes to the "discussion" stage, the time could be long or short.

She knew even with her eyes closed that once the "discussion" started, it would never end.

"I will have my Secretary come over to discuss it with you."

"I will only talk to you."

She stopped paying attention to him, stood up, and signaled to the group: "Let's go."

The bodyguards crowded around Shi Youxuan as they left, while Sheng Hanyu stared blankly at her back, unable to pull his gaze away even after everyone had disappeared from sight.

"Brother, they've already gone out of sight." Wang Yong didn't know when he had approached, and he waved his fan-like hand in front of his eyes.

"Get lost—"

In L Country, no one dared to speak to Wang Yong like that, but he wasn't the least bit annoyed at being scolded by Sheng Hanyu.

Get lost it is, he thought; anyway, it wouldn't take two minutes before his brother would be calling him back in.

"Come back." Sure enough, he called him, and it hadn't even taken two minutes.

Wang Yong returned: "Brother, what are your orders?"

"Forget it, there are no orders."

Sheng Hanyu waved his hand and let him leave again.

He was not a man of indecision, but only when it came to matters concerning Shi Youxuan did he become so troubled and hesitant.

Wang Yong went out and gave a few instructions to his subordinates, who agreed and left.

Sheng Hanyu didn't do anything all afternoon; he kept feeling restless, as if something was about to happen.

……

As soon as Shi Youxuan arrived home, she saw Zhu Yiwen standing at the main gate.

She didn't want to deal with him and prepared to walk past him, but her arm was grabbed: "Where did you go?"

"Let go."

Zhu Yiwen released his hand, but he had no intention of moving aside.

Shi Youxuan said: "Ask A Qing. I went out for a walk and he followed every step of the way. He knows everywhere I went, who I saw, and what I said."

After saying this, she walked inside and returned to her room; this time, Zhu Yiwen did not call out to her.

A Qing was in Sheng Hanyu's office, and he recounted everything the Madam had said and how Sheng Hanyu had behaved to Zhu Yiwen, point by point.

He did not leave out a single minute detail.

He also mentioned that when they left Dingsheng, Sheng Hanyu had someone pack up the cup and send it out.

He told the Head of the Family everything, including the fact that the Madam hadn't even looked at it before having someone throw it away.

Zhu Yiwen was very satisfied: "Good, you may leave."

……

"Knock, knock, knock."

Shi Youxuan was dazed in her room and didn't want to respond when she heard the knocking.

"Madam, it's me," Zhu Yiwen said from outside.

"Is there something? I've gone to bed." She pulled back the quilt and lay down.

She didn't want to talk to Zhu Yiwen; it was pointless to argue every time they spoke.

"Oh, then rest. I have a gift I wanted to give you, I'll leave it at the door," Zhu Yiwen said.

"Fine."

After a long while, Shi Youxuan heard no sound outside, so she got out of bed and opened the door; sure enough, a beautiful box was placed at the entrance, and upon opening it—a gold cup inlaid with diamonds lay magnificently inside the box.
