Chapter 11 Abstinence and Tension

Sang Wan looked at the pair of bony fingers and felt a little sweet in her heart.

When she saw the man's three-dimensional and handsome features again, a look of joy spread from her eyes.

She stared at the man in front of her with a slightly raised hump on his nose, and suddenly thought of the online discussions. Men with such noses are both restrained and full of tension, and should be very powerful.

Lu Tingzhou glanced at the silly girl and said calmly, "Ms. Sang, you're overthinking it. Don't let acting get you so carried away that you lose sight of reality."

The man's calm voice startled Sang Wan, and the excitement on her face faded a little. He was saying that she was daydreaming.

Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips slightly, like a superior looking down on others, rarely patiently explaining things to a small person like her.

"First, you endorsed Chen Yubai's inconspicuous products just to get close to me. I don't mind you trying to scam me."

"Secondly, you intentionally approached me and were injured at the stable. Although you brought it upon yourself, this is my stable after all. Letting you take advantage of me is considered compensation."

He spoke in an orderly manner, not caring that the girl opposite him had turned pale.

“Third, the reason I didn’t leave the hotel immediately was indeed to smoke, and it was you who called my assistant.

The reason I'm helping you is because Wang Sheng is related to the Lu family, and you're a public figure. If something happens to you, it will bring unnecessary trouble."

At this moment, Sang Wan's eyes were misty, and her red lips were tightly pursed, as if she might burst into tears at any time.

Lu Tingzhou's voice paused for a moment, he glanced at her, rubbed his thumb secretly, and the clear voice sounded again.

"Ms. Sang, I'm a businessman. I know how to weigh the pros and cons, and I value my reputation. No matter from which point of view, you will not be someone by my side."

He stood up and curved his lips as he left, "I'm sorry, your scam wasn't successful today. If the food is delicious, you can continue. I'll take my leave first."

Sang Wan looked at the man walking away, and her tears could no longer be held back and fell down.

After crying, I started laughing, laughing at my own lack of success.

I thought I just failed to catch someone, there was no point in crying.

But the tears still couldn't stop.

I explained it so clearly on the phone this morning, but because of that fantasy in my head...

Lu Tingzhou left the restaurant and sat in the car smoking.

Although he was worried about her, he was even more afraid of being seen by her, so he took two puffs and told Lin Hao to drive.

He also added, "This month's bonus will be deducted in full."

Lin Hao slammed on the brakes and saw the gloomy face of the man in the back seat in the rearview mirror. He didn't dare to say a word and slowly accelerated.

Sang Wan lay on the dining table for a long time, and her mood gradually calmed down.

I didn't catch the man, but I have to take revenge. I have to give an explanation for what happened last night.

…

Xu Shiming did not go to the company, but waited anxiously for Sang Wan at home.

Wang Sheng's phone call last night was very rude, and his meaning was very clear: if Sang Wan didn't break up with Lu Tingzhou, he would not provide the follow-up funds.

Xu Shiming knew that three hundred million was not a lot, and Sang Wan was worth far more than three hundred million.

But the gambling agreement that Wang Sheng had forced him to sign was about to take effect. If Wang Sheng did not inject capital at this time, the amount would not be just 300 million, but 1 billion.

How could he have 1 billion? He only had 10% of Sang's shares, which would not be enough even if he took out all of them.

"Mom and Dad, Sang Wan was taken away by President Lu last night and hasn't returned to Jingyuan. Their relationship must be special. Can she really marry into the Lu family?"

"Even if I capture Young Master Lu, I still have to call her aunt. Wouldn't that be a complete mess?"

Xu Mingyue couldn't bear to see Sang Wanhao, and felt very upset when she thought about her being with Lu Tingzhou.

That's the man that all the women in Shenzhen yearn for.

Xu Shiming was not worried. "The Lu family won't want her, otherwise the young master of the Lu family wouldn't introduce her to you. Sang Wan has more advantages."

Listening to her father's words, Xu Mingyue felt unhappy and her mood was not smooth. Sang Wan came in wearing high heels.

Seeing her come in, Xu Mingyue came forward, but before she could say anything sarcastic, Sang Wan slapped her in the face.

"Xu Shiming plotted against me, and I endured it. Who the hell do you think you are to plot against me?"

Xu Mingyue was stunned by the beating and looked at her blankly with her face covered.

When Sang Wan was about to slap her again, Lin Lan screamed and stepped forward to protect her daughter.

"Wanwan, you've gone too far. Why do you just come up and hit someone?"

At this moment, Xu Shiming suddenly stepped forward and slapped Sang Wan on the left cheek.

Fast and fierce, catching you off guard.

It was accompanied by an angry cry, "Rebellious girl."

Sang Wan's ears were buzzing. She covered her face with her hands and big tears fell to the floor.

She is the treasure of her mother and the apple of her grandfather's eye.

I had never been beaten before. At this moment, my head suddenly buzzed and I felt as if I was in a vacuum.

Xu Mingyue reacted and said pitifully, "Dad, don't be angry. It's okay for my sister to hit me."

"Sister, you really shouldn't have offended President Wang. Isn't Dad working so hard for the company? Now that you're having trouble with Lu Tingzhou, aren't you putting Dad in a difficult position?"

Her voice was sweet and every word she spoke pierced Xu Shiming's heart, but she didn't mention the drinking incident last night.

Sang Wan slowly raised her head, her peach blossom eyes filled with moisture and a chilling chill.

"Xu Shiming, this slap has completely severed the father-daughter relationship between us."

Sang Wan did not roar, but her voice was very soft. However, Xu Shiming felt inexplicably uneasy when he heard her cold voice.

Then he thought of Wang Sheng's threat and the Lu family, and became tough again.

"I hit you to teach you to face reality and stop daydreaming! Don't think you can fly to the top just by hooking up with Lu Tingzhou. He's just playing with you. Give up that idea as soon as possible."

Sang Wan suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and was tinged with sadness and cruelty.

"Reality? The reality is that you've forgotten your old love and found a new one. You've taken over my life and schemed against me everywhere."

"She's the reality, dirty and mean, she put drugs in my drink."

He had come back for revenge, but ended up getting slapped. Sang Wan gritted his teeth and glanced around, his eyes settling on the golf club standing in the corner.

She walked over slowly and weighed the golf club. It felt cold and heavy.

The next second, she raised her hand and without hesitation smashed the vase full of flowers in front of her!

“Bang!”

A sharp cracking sound echoed throughout the living room.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

"Sang Wan, what are you crazy about?"

Xu Shiming reacted and roared, but because Sang Wan was holding the "weapon" in his hand, he didn't dare to move forward.

Sang Wan ignored him, swung the golf club, and smashed it at the annoying European-style ornament next to him.

With a "bang", fragments flew everywhere.

She did it again and again, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and anger that had been pent up for years.

The tassels of the crystal chandelier, the paintings on the wall, the decorations on the coffee table...

Everything Lin Lan bought became her target for venting her anger.

The entire living room was in a mess in an instant.

Xu Shiming looked at everything in front of him and gasped with heartache, but more of it was fear.

He had never seen Sang Wan like this before, calm, crazy, and with a ruthless determination to destroy himself and the enemy.

"Stop, what do you want to do?"

Sang Wan ignored them and stopped only when she was tired of hitting the balls. She dragged the club towards the person standing in the middle of the living room, and the end of the club made a harsh sound on the smooth marble floor.

Xu Mingyue was so scared that she wanted to run away. Sang Wan seized the opportunity and hit her on the butt.

It's not a vital point, but it's very suitable for relieving sorrow and resentment.

"ah……"

Xu Mingyue cried out in pain and staggered to the ground. Lin Lan hurriedly squatted down to look at her.

Sang Wan raised her cold eyes and turned to look at Xu Shiming.

Sweat soaked the loose hair on her forehead, and her fair cheeks were flushed with excitement, but her peach blossom eyes were cold and frightening.

Xu Shiming trembled when he was looked at by her. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Lan tugged at his clothes, reminding him to stay calm.

The maid Liu Ma hid in the kitchen and watched this scene, secretly thinking that Sang Wan did a good job.

Xu Shiming gritted his teeth, his tone softened, even with a hint of pleading.

"Wanwan, Dad... Dad is too anxious. The company has a project that needs money. Ever since your grandpa got into trouble, the capital chain has been very tight. Dad is also worried to death."

He tried to play the family card.

"Stop it. This is where you grew up after all. If this gets out and people laugh at you, it won't be good for your career."

Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him, a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Now you know how to think about me?"

"In the past three years, when have you not said that the company's business is not doing well and asked me to understand your difficulties?"

"I believed your lies. No matter how hard or tiring my life was, I never asked you for a penny."

Her voice suddenly rose, and she no longer tried to suppress her rage.

"But what happened? The company wasn't doing well, and Xu Mingyue's limited edition clothes and bags kept coming out."

"Didn't you give her the money? She got a diploma from a fake university that no one wants. Don't tell me she earned it herself."

Every word was like a slap in the face of Xu Shiming.

He was speechless and his face turned pale and blue.

Sang Wan took a deep breath, and his eyes became cold and hard again.

"Xu Shiming, I'm your biological daughter. It's really funny that you treat me like this."

There was a subtle choke in her voice, but she didn't shed a single tear.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless even if you are. This house is worth at least 70 million according to the market price."

"This is my mother's pre-marital property, and I have the legal right to inherit half of it."

"Give me thirty million, cash or check, right now."

"Otherwise, we'll see you in court."

Xu Shiming was shocked and looked at Sang Wan in disbelief.

Lin Lan was anxious. "Sang Wan, the company is in a recession. How can we come up with so much money all at once?"

"Can't afford it?" Sang Wan sneered silently, "Any bag or piece of jewelry from Xu Mingyue costs tens of millions. Are you kidding, Mrs. Xu?"

Xu Shiming looked at Sang Wan's eyes that did not tolerate any argument and knew that she was serious this time.

If the case really goes to court, not only will he lose the house, he and his daughter will fall out, and the old guys on the board of directors will not let him go.

It is very likely that Sang Wan will also know that most of the company's shares are in her name.

"Okay...I'll give it to you!"

Xu Shiming gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words, then went back to the study to get the check.

Sang Wan took the check and took a closer look at the amount on it. After confirming that it was correct, a faint smile finally appeared at the corner of her lips.

"This place has nothing to do with me anymore."

She stood up and walked straight to the door without even glancing at the people in the living room.

When she reached the entrance, she paused slightly but did not look back.

"I will not be engaged to Wang Sheng. If I don't see my grandfather in three days, I will sue you for house arrest."

"Wanwan, without Mr. Wang's investment, the company's projects will be difficult to carry out. According to the gambling agreement, I have to pay him 1 billion yuan, your grandfather's life's work..."

Sang Wan frowned. It turned out that the crisis was not three hundred million, but one billion.

She didn't respond, but opened the door and left without looking back.

Getting an investment of 300 million in less than a month is neither difficult nor easy.

She debuted three years ago, and only after a hit drama last year did she gradually gain her current fame, but 300 million...

Even with the money I have now, plus the 30 million, the gap is still quite large.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, so Sang Wan raised her hand to block it.

He held the check tightly in his hand, his fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

Thirty million bought out the little father-daughter relationship between her and Xu Shiming.

Is it worth it?

She didn't know, but didn't care too much.

She just felt a little blocked in her heart, as if a stone was pressing on her, and she could hardly breathe.

Sang Wan drove aimlessly and unknowingly arrived at a cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

After parking the car, she bought a bunch of daisies and walked towards the familiar place step by step with the flowers in her hands.

In the photo on the tombstone, my mother smiles gently and peacefully.

Sang Wan put the flower down and gently brushed her fingertips across her mother's cheek in the photo. The cold touch made her heart tremble.

"mom……"

She choked with sobs as she spoke, and the grievances and sorrows that had been pent up in her heart burst out at this moment like a flood that broke through a dam.

She wanted to tell her mother that recent events had left her breathless.
