Chapter 2 Why are you here?
Shen Xingli escaped from the hotel, her heart still pounding.
Are ducks in such good physical condition nowadays?
After a crazy night, I still have energy to go again early in the morning.
Recalling the exciting scenes of last night, Shen Xingli couldn't help but shudder.
She immediately rushed into the heavy snow and got into a taxi.
When I got home and was about to go upstairs, my grandfather called me.
"You didn't come home last night, where did you go?"
Shen Xingli said with a smile, "I stayed at a classmate's house last night and forgot to tell you. I'll be sure to pay attention next time."
"Shen Xingli! You dare to lie? This is what you did!"
Mr. Shen threw a stack of photos on the coffee table and glared at her with bloodshot eyes.
When Shen Xingli saw the person in the photo, he was stunned.
In the photo, her face was flushed and she looked drunk. She was grabbing a man's tie and standing on tiptoe to ask for a kiss.
This...is this person her?
Is this how she took the man to a hotel room last night?
Could she do anything more shameful than this?
She prepared herself for a long time, then gave a stiff smile.
"Grandpa, I just drank too much and accidentally slept with a man, but don't worry, I paid him, it wasn't for free."
When Mr. Shen heard this, he was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "How did I teach you since you were a child? Girls should know etiquette and shame. How could you do such a thing?
"Do you know how much of an impact this would have on your father if it were reported? He's a diplomat facing Chinese and foreign journalists. How would he face it if someone asked him about this?"
The Shen family has been engaged in business for generations and is also one of the top wealthy families in Beijing.
Shen's father is also a well-known diplomat at home and abroad and often appears in the media.
Shen's mother is an embassy official.
My elder brother inherited the Shen family business and expanded the business both domestically and internationally.
Shen Xingli is not only a rich second-generation, but also a second-generation official.
But she is a low-key person and has never told anyone about her background.
No one knew that she was the little princess of the Shen family who was the center of attention.
She has always followed the Shen family's teachings. Even when she had a boyfriend, she always kept her distance and they had never even kissed.
Who would have thought that she would do such a ridiculous thing after getting drunk.
Shen Xingli knew he was in the wrong, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and said, "Grandpa, I was wrong, please punish me."
Mr. Shen was both distressed and angry. He pointed at the photo on the table and said, "Tell me who this man is! You drank too much, but he didn't. He actually took advantage of you. I'll break his legs!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingli panicked instantly and immediately waved his hands, saying, "Grandpa, I don't know who he is, and this isn't his fault. It's all my fault. If you want to punish someone, just punish me."
"It's already this late, and you still want to protect him? If this gets to your Foreign Translation Institute, your future will be ruined! You'll never be able to become a translator in your lifetime!"
Shen Xingli's dream since childhood was to become a translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and she has made a lot of efforts to this end.
This position has very high requirements and cannot have any work style issues or stains.
She has always been cautious, but she didn't expect that when she was close to her dream, she would still fail.
But this matter was initiated by her, and she shouldn't implicate others.
She raised her little face stubbornly, pouted and said, "At worst, I won't be one."
Seeing how stubborn she was, Mr. Shen was so angry that he pointed out the window.
"Are you trying to piss me off to death? Go kneel outside the Shen Family Ancestral Hall and reflect on your actions. When you're willing to speak, come in!"
Grandpa always keeps his word.
It really hurts her, but when it comes to punishing her, he never shows any mercy.
Shen Xingli immediately stood up from the ground and said with a stern face, "Kneel down if you want. It's not like you haven't kneeled before."
After saying that, she rushed into the heavy snow without looking back, walked outside the ancestral hall, and knelt on the ground with a thud.
She has a slender body but a proud character.
Mr. Shen was so angry that he paced back and forth in the living room.
"This child has been spoiled by you. Look at her, she doesn't look like she has done anything wrong."
The housekeeper said distressedly, "Old man, it's minus fifteen degrees Celsius today, and it's snowing heavily outside. Are you sure the young lady can handle it? If she falls ill, you will be the one who will be worried."
Old Master Shen looked at him coldly: "Don't plead for her. She doesn't know how to repent after doing something wrong. She has a boyfriend, but she goes out to find another man. If you don't teach her a lesson, she will have a miserable future."
The housekeeper hesitated for a long time before speaking: "I just got the news that the young lady was bullied last night. She went to celebrate the birthday of the boy from the Meng family, but the boy proposed to the girl from the Qin family in front of everyone.
The Meng family's business has recently suffered setbacks, and their capital chain has been cut off. The Qin family agreed to inject capital into him, but on the condition that he marry their daughter. The young lady was publicly cheated on, so he did such a ridiculous thing.
Hearing these words, Mr. Shen was so angry that his chest hurt: "My granddaughter, Shen Qian, was also bullied by the Meng family. Pass it on, all cooperation with the Meng family will be cancelled, and we will never have any contact with them again."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
"Why didn't this girl say anything just now? If she had said it, I wouldn't have punished her."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Don't you understand the young lady? She is very proud and spoiled. She chose the person herself, so no matter how wronged she is, she will bear it by herself and won't tell anyone."
Old Master Shen looked at Shen Xingli, who was already covered in snow, and said distressedly, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call her in. Ask Aunt Zhang to make her a bowl of ginger soup so she doesn't catch a cold."
"I have already given the order. Please invite the young lady in now."
Just as the butler was about to go out with an umbrella, a black Cullinan suddenly drove into the villa.
A tall and straight man got out of the car.
The man was wearing a black coat and holding a black umbrella.
He has handsome features, and there is endless coldness hidden between his eyebrows.
The dark pupils are deep and the double eyelids have shallow wrinkles.
The superior and three-dimensional facial features are hard to forget at first sight.
The finger bones holding the umbrella handle are cold, white and slender.
A few snowflakes fell from the black tattoo on the back of his hand and instantly melted in the heat of the darkness.
Mr. Shen was stunned and asked, "Why is he here?"
Sang Muye got out of the car and walked straight towards Shen Xingli.
His steps were steady and self-possessed.
The hand-made leather shoes stepped on the white snow, leaving behind wide and clear footprints.
Shen Xingli was shivering from the cold, her face flushed red.
The moment she saw Sang Muye, her voice trembled.
"You, why are you here?"
Sang Muye walked up to her, put the umbrella on the ground, took off his coat and wrapped it around Shen Xingli.
Then he picked her up sideways.
He stared at her with cold eyes, his voice clear and low: "If I don't come, are you planning to freeze to death here?"
