"I refuse."

Gu Zhun didn't even glance at it before putting Shen Beitang's completed internship report directly into the shredder.

"When did it become your turn to order me around?"

Shen Beitang had already anticipated this outcome. She took out another internship report from her bag and slammed it on Gu Zhun's desk.

"Tell me how many more pieces you want to tear, and I'll prepare them all for you."

It seemed that Shen Beitang was determined to leave, and this realization inexplicably made him feel irritated.

"Brother Zhun, since Sister Tangtang wants to leave, why don't you just sign her? Such a big company, do you really need a few more interns?"

Furthermore, Sister Tangtang also has her own company to manage.

For Bai Ling, Shen Beitang's departure was an incredibly joyous occasion.

From then on, no one in the company opposed him anymore, and it became much easier to do what he wanted.

Shen Beitang glanced at Bai Ling and really wanted to advise her to stop showing her such obvious feelings for him.

But at least he said something sensible.

Gu was awakened by Bai Ling's unintentional remark, and suddenly realized the truth.

Shen Beitang has plenty of options; even a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

Zhou Man's years of hard work in the business world were not for nothing; she provided enough for three generations of Shen Beitang's family to live a life of luxury.

No wonder they were so arrogant in front of me; they had already planned their escape route.

Gu Zhun placed the pen on the table at a clever angle and looked up at Bai Ling.

“Ling’er, don’t underestimate yourself. The Shen family doesn’t belong to Shen Beitang alone; you have a share in it too.”

Bai Ling was startled, not expecting that Gu Zhun would now be completely on her side.

With such a powerful ally, taking back the Shen family would be no easy task.

"Brother Zhun, are you telling the truth?"

Bai Ling appeared calm on the surface, but her inner excitement was beyond words.

This time, Gu Zhun neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply looked at Shen Beitang without saying a word.

Because besides indifference, Shen Beitang's eyes also carried a hint of resentment.

"Bai Ling, I don't care whether your current backer is Shan Chengming or Gu Zhun. As long as I'm alive, you will never be allowed to enter the Shen family."

Shen Beitang said this to Bai Ling, but also to Gu Zhun.

Since you've already decided to help Bai Ling steal what belongs to me.

Gu Zhun's identity could only be that of an enemy.

Bai Ling covered her mouth as if startled, staring innocently, and tried to take Chen Beitang's hand.

"Sister Tangtang, blood ties can never be erased; we share the same blood."

"Don't try to disgust me."

Shen Beitang took a step back, dodging Bai Ling's hand.

"Blood relation? You're really just spouting nonsense. Have you even had it tested? You just keep saying we're related by blood."

"this……"

Bai Ling was speechless for a moment after being rebuked, and then she started to sob and cry.

"Brother Zhun, it's all my fault. I've dragged you into this mess for no reason."

Looking at her innocent, naive demeanor, Shen Beitang really wanted to drown her in his saliva, so he said in an annoyed tone.

"I didn't expect you to be so self-aware. If you know you're in the wrong, then don't come out and hurt others."

"vomit--"

Perhaps out of anger, Bai Ling covered her mouth and quickly ran to the trash can to dry heave.

When she looked up again, her face had turned deathly pale.

Gu Zhun frowned as he handed her a cup of hot water, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.

"What happened? I'll take you to the hospital now."

Bai Ling's expression changed, turning even paler. She grabbed Gu Zhun's hand and forced a smile.

"No need, Brother Jun, I just feel nauseous because of the strain on my back."

He then drank some hot water from Gu Zhun's hand, but he ended up spitting it out.

Judging from Bai Ling's methods of seducing men, Gu Zhun estimated that he wouldn't be able to get out for at least an hour.

After settling Bai Ling in, Gu Zhun wanted to go find Shen Beitang again, only to discover that she had already disappeared without a trace.

——

Because Gu Zhun tricked and coaxed him into moving into his home.

I only went back to get the clothes once, and there weren't many things, so packing them wasn't difficult.

A 22-inch suitcase was all of Shen Beitang's belongings.

Shen Beitang stepped into the familiar refrigerator, where the food was changed daily.

I wonder what Gu Zhun will do for Bai Ling?

She was unhappy, and Bai Ling wouldn't have an easy time either, so she went to the condiment station. She cleared out all the condiments, scrambled them, and randomly added things to them.

After finishing all this, Shen Beitang clapped his hands, feeling refreshed, and strode towards the door, pulling his suitcase.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a dark figure standing outside and asked in a sinister tone.

Where do you want to go?

Gu Zhun looked down and saw the suitcase next to him. It seemed that he had come back at just the right time.

For some reason, Shen Beitang felt a little guilty under their gaze, and took advantage of the darkness to hide his suitcase discreetly behind his back.

"The sky's the limit, what business is it of yours to tell birds to fly freely?"

Gu Zhun snorted coldly, snatched the suitcase, and weighed it in his hand; it was quite heavy.

"Gu Zhun, what are you doing!"

Shen Beitang exclaimed and tried to snatch it, but Gu Zhun beat her to it.

He opened the suitcase with one hand, dumped all its contents onto the ground, and then tossed the suitcase into the garden.

"I'm just checking to see if you've stolen anything, since even a single ornament inside costs at least five figures."

He said he was going to check, but Gu Zhun didn't even glance at the things on the ground.

"Now that you see it, may I ask, are any of your Gu family's belongings inside?"

Seemingly worried that Gu Zhun might not have looked closely enough, Shen Beitang actually took matters into his own hands, picking up the items on the ground one by one and asking questions.

"Is this dress from the Gu family? Or this hair tie, or this..."

When Shen Beitang finished taking the last item, he stood up and stepped on the clothes.

"Since you're not saying anything, it seems none of these things belong to the Gu family. But now these things are dirty, and I don't want them anymore."

"If your dear Bai Ling likes it, you can wash it and still wear it. Consider it a gift for a stray dog ​​outside."

The value of these clothes was as insignificant as a hair on a cow to Shen Beitang.

If it's lost, it's lost; just buy a new one and replace it.

“Bai Ling won’t be staying here,” Gu Zhun retorted instinctively.

Shen Beitang shrugged indifferently, "So what? What's it to me?"

"So you can't leave."

Gu Zhun suddenly grabbed Shen Beitang by the back of the neck with one hand, forcing her to lean back and reveal her snow-white neck.

"Since we've signed the contract, you have to abide by it, or I'll be unhappy."

Gu Zhun's strength was terrifying; the fragile spine was no match for him.

"If I ever see you do anything that makes me unhappy again, I will... kill you."
