Chapter 234 Shanshan, who are you thinking about?
He Wei didn't even raise his eyes, and said coldly, "You should be grateful that you can stand here unharmed. You still want to take a share of the Mo family's money? I think you're tired of living."
"What do you mean by that?" Deng Fei's arrogance subsided considerably.
He Wei put down the documents, looked up, and asked coldly, "Have you seen or heard anything about Mo Yuan and his mother during this time?"
Deng Fei's face turned deathly pale, and she took a step back. She had been living too comfortably lately and had long forgotten about Mo Yuan and his mother. Now that she thought about it, if they knew she had filed for divorce, why wouldn't they come looking for her?
Jiang Simin would definitely have come to scold her, but no one did; there wasn't a sound at all.
"Have...something happened to them?" Deng Fei asked cautiously.
"Mo Yuan has never come out of the hospital since he was admitted. As for Jiang Simin, she also suddenly disappeared. Both the Jiang family and the Mo family have remained silent."
He Wei lowered his head again to continue reading the documents, "Please go out and close the door behind you."
Deng Fei retrieved the asset list and left He Wei's office through gritted teeth.
She glanced back at the office sign: 'President's Office'.
In a short period of time, He Wei impressed her father and was promoted from sales director to company president.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for the mother and daughter in the Deng family.
She had hoped that if she could get half of Mo Yuan's assets, she and her mother would be set for life and wouldn't have to care about the Deng family anymore.
To her surprise, she didn't receive a single penny in cash.
From then on, she would have to live at the mercy of Deng Qian and her daughter. She felt resentful, thinking, "So what if I found a son-in-law who lives with my family?"
He Wei is still entangled with Chu Rou. If her father finds out, will he remove He Wei from his position as president?
...
Shen Yan rushed back to City C, bought a lot of Shen Luo's favorite foods, and went to the hospital to visit Shen Luo.
The wounds on Shen Luo's body had already scabbed over. Shen Yan looked at the dark red scabs and his heart clenched. How much pain must have been in back then!
"Xiao Luo, are you still in pain?" Shen Yan asked with concern.
Shen Luo grimaced and twisted her body from time to time. "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's become itchy. It's even more unbearable than the pain. It's so itchy, but I can't scratch it."
"Hold on!" Qu Jie patted Chen Luo. "Don't move your body. If you rub off the scabs, it'll leave a scar. Do you still want to join the army?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo froze; he felt like crying!
"Qu Jie, is Shan Shan at school today?" Shen Yan asked after hesitating for a long time.
Qu Jie smiled and said, "She's basically always at school now, only coming back to sleep at night. She's either in class or in the library."
Shen Yan nodded and stood up. "Then I'll leave Xiao Luo in your care. I'll be going now."
"Huh?" Shen Luo looked at Shen Yan with a mournful expression. "Brother, did you come to see me, or to ask about Huang Shan's schedule?"
Shen Yan remained expressionless, glancing at the things he had brought. "Since you put it that way, then I'll take the food with me."
“Otherwise,” Shen Luo said with a fawning smile, “Brother, I was wrong. The things must be left behind. You should go find Huang Shan!”
...
Shen Yan drove to the entrance of the University of Science and Technology of China, checked the time, and decided to treat Shan Shan to dinner.
He texted Huang Shan, "Shanshan, I'm at the entrance of USTC. Do you have time to have dinner together?"
Huang Shan was somewhat surprised to receive Shen Yan's message. This was the first time Shen Yan had taken the initiative to ask her out for dinner. Her heart began to pound wildly, her blood rushed to her brain, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
She held her phone to her heart, took several deep breaths, and then replied to Shen Yan's message: "Okay, I'm at the library, a bit far from the main entrance. Wait a moment."
When Shen Yan saw Huang Shan's message, he got out of the car and walked into the school. He didn't know where the library was, so he asked a few students. The girls who passed by would steal a few glances at Shen Yan.
Having obtained the exact location, Shen Yan headed towards the library.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he recognized Huang Shan, who was jogging over, at a glance. He smiled and was about to wave to her when the smile on his face disappeared.
A tall boy caught up from behind and handed the things he was carrying to Huang Shan. Huang Shan looked at the boy with a bright smile.
The scene made Shen Yan clench his fists, and it also reminded him of Mo Chi's words: many boys were pursuing Huang Shan, and this must be one of them.
But the boy's next move made Shen Yan uneasy.
Huang Shan lowered her head, and the boy helped her fix her hair, finally patting her head twice.
The two then separated, and Huang Shan quickened her pace to walk over.
She saw Shen Yan, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She ran up to Shen Yan and asked, "Brother Shen Yan, what brings you in?"
Shen Yan's face remained expressionless. He gave a faint "hmm" and said, "I wanted to come in and take a look at the USTC campus."
Huang Shan was used to Shen Yan's expressionless face and didn't notice anything unusual. She lowered her head shyly.
After their brief farewell in D City last time, Huang Shan thought it over and over and felt that she might have misunderstood Shen Yan's meaning. His invitation to dinner today only confirmed her suspicions.
"Brother Shen Yan, did you just come back from City B?"
Shen Yan and Huang Shan walked out side by side. He turned his head and saw that Huang Shan's profile was flushed. He frowned. Was it because the boy had made her blush?
His expression grew increasingly somber.
"Um."
The conversation ended there. The two did not continue talking, but quietly walked out of the school gate and got into the car.
"What would you like to eat?" Shen Yan finally asked.
"Huh?" Huang Shan was lost in thought and didn't react for a moment.
Shen Yan glanced at her. "Who are you thinking about?"
“No,” Huang Shan said, avoiding eye contact with Shen Yan and keeping her eyes down. “I’m fine with anything. You know me, I’m not picky about food.”
Shen Yan didn't say anything more and led Huang Shan to an elegant restaurant.
The two ate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts, without exchanging a single word.
After the two put down their cutlery, Shen Yan wiped his mouth, took out a bank card from his pocket, and pushed it to Huang Shan, saying, "There's a hundred million in here; it's to repay your principal."
Huang Shan was somewhat shocked. Just a few days ago, she was saying that she wouldn't be able to pay it back until the end of the year. How could she have earned enough in less than a month?
"Brother Shen Yan, do you make money that fast?"
Shen Yan was able to make money so quickly thanks to Chu Rou. The Mo family compensated him with 50 million, and Chu Rou forced him to accept it, saying that since it was Mo Yuan's money anyway, he might as well accept it.
In addition, the legal representatives of the Mo and Qi families received a considerable advance payment from him. Later, Chu Weize's own company also entrusted its legal affairs to his law firm, earning him another sum of money.
He's been getting so many cases lately, from B City to D City, which has made him realize the importance of connections and networks.
“I made a lot of money from Mo Yuan’s divorce case,” Shen Yan said in a deep voice. “The interest will have to wait a little longer; I will pay you back as soon as possible.”
