Qinghe Garden.
Sang Yu ate something in the evening, then took her phone and went into the study.
She turned on her computer and started working online.
Just as I finished replying to the email, Xiansi came in carrying a stack of files.
"Madam, these are documents sent by Lingzhou. Seven of them are urgent."
Sang Yuwan glanced at it, her expression grave, and said, "Yes."
So much urgent work piled up in just one morning.
She suddenly felt a heaviness in her shoulders.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Xian Si tried to suggest, "Madam, you are holding two positions, which is really too tiring. Why don't you listen to the advice of the other shareholders on the board and hire a professional manager?"
Sang Yuwan opened the top document, lowered her eyes, and flipped through it, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"Let's talk about this later."
He paused briefly, then coldly ordered, "Go make a cup of coffee."
Xian Si was a little uneasy. "Madam, you just had tea and then coffee. I'm afraid it will affect your sleep. How about I make you a cup of herbal tea?"
Sang Yuwan smiled helplessly, "I can't sleep if I don't drink it."
Xian Si was very worried, "Madam, if this continues, your health will collapse."
Sang Yuwan pressed her eyes together, picked up her pen, and signed her name on the document.
"I chose this path myself, and I will finish it even if I have to crawl on my knees."
Xiansi couldn't understand why she had to choose such a difficult path. Her heart ached slightly, and a hint of moisture welled up in the corner of her eye.
“Madam, didn’t we give Master Bo’s office to Second Master? Why don’t we let him share some of the burden with you?”
Sang Yuwan paused, then drew a line of ink on the document.
Realizing she had overstepped her bounds, Xian Si hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Madam, I was wrong."
Sang Yuwan closed the document without saying a word.
Xiansi pursed her lips and walked out nervously.
The study was quiet.
Sang Yuwan picked up another document and looked through it, her expression darkening.
Planning Report for Longtan Tourist Resort Area
This was a project led by Bo Xingzhi during his lifetime.
She raised her objections when the project was first proposed.
The main reason is that the investment is too high and the return is low.
Bo Xingzhi acted unilaterally and spent 700 million yuan to buy the development rights of Longtan.
Sang Yuwan had an unprecedented big fight with him.
As a result, the two gave each other the cold shoulder for a week.
Bo Xingzhi never explained to her why he insisted on doing this project.
She still doesn't understand.
The white paper, the black text, the diagrams, the numbers—the more Sang Yuwan looked at it, the more of a headache she got.
knock--
"Madam." Minglang knocked on the door and came in, carrying a cup of rose tea.
Sang Yuwan closed the file, glanced up at him, and remembered something. "Have Gu Jingheng's parents made any moves these past few days?"
Minglang put down his teacup. "They went back to their hometown the day after they arrived at the Bo family's house."
Sang Yuwan put the document aside and picked up another one to look at. "Where is Gu Jingheng's hometown?"
Minglang replied, "Gucheng Longtan."
Sang Yuwan was taken aback.
Seeing the change in her expression, Minglang became very uneasy. "Madam, what's wrong?"
Sang Yuwan picked up her teacup, took two sips, and said, "It's nothing."
Minglang was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask any further questions. Instead, he changed the subject, "Madam, Dai Ruilin has disappeared."
Sang Yuwan tightened her grip, causing the rose petals in the cup to sway gently.
A hint of hatred surfaced in Minglang's eyes. "I was thinking of catching him to apologize to you. I never expected that I couldn't find him anywhere in Jiangcheng."
Sang Yuwan's eyes narrowed, her fingers tightened, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Heh."
Minglang's heart was uneasy, and her voice tightened, "Madam, could it be that the Second Master made a move?"
Sang Yuwan's mind went blank for a moment, and the scene of her endless entanglement with Rong Zhi flooded back, causing her heart to race.
Composing himself, he asked in a low voice, "Why did he make a move?"
The clarity suddenly froze.
Sang Yuwan took a few sips of tea and spoke again, "Minglang, remember. Today, we didn't go to Xiyan Lake. Nor did we see Dai Ruilin."
Minglang's heart pounded, and he swallowed hard. "Yes, Madam."
Sang Yuwan put down her water glass and continued flipping through the documents.
Minglang then mentioned something else, "Madam, after leaving Qinghe Garden, the old lady went directly to the hospital."
Sang Yuwan's fingers tightened around the document again. "Just give me the result."
A slight tremor ran through Minglang's throat. "The old lady and Uncle Bo caught the second master and the fourth young lady in bed together."
Sang Yuwan's breath hitched, and her face turned pale instantly.
Ning Wanzhen went straight to the hospital, clearly indicating that she still had doubts about her.
Why is Bo Yuheng also there?
Caught in the act of adultery.
Rong Zhi and Ming Mei.
Sang Yuwan gradually became as if she were frozen in ice, unable to move.
Several minutes passed before she spoke, "Is there anything else?"
Seeing that her complexion had worsened, Minglang asked worriedly, "Madam, would you like to rest for a while?"
Sang Yuwan took a deep breath, her voice slightly hoarse, "If there's nothing else, you can go downstairs."
"Yes," Minglang replied, then turned and walked out.
Sang Yuwan lowered her eyes, staring at the documents in front of her, her mind blank.
Sunlight streamed through the half-drawn curtains, casting dappled shadows that danced with the fine dust particles in the air, rising and falling slowly.
Sang Yuwan couldn't calm her mind.
The dense text on the document gradually blurred into two characters.
Rong Zhi.
She quickly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to clear her mind of any inappropriate emotions.
beep beep—
The phone rang twice in a row.
She was upset and didn't want to pay attention.
Driven by a sense of responsibility, I slowly opened my eyelids, picked up my phone, and glanced at it.
"Sister Wan, I'm so sorry, I accidentally broke your jade hairpin."
There's another photo at the end.
On the spotless floor tiles, the jade hairpin was shattered into three pieces.
The high-end hospital bed was covered in a mess of blankets.
It resembled the aftermath of a passionate lovemaking session between a man and a woman.
Sang Yuwan's face instantly turned cold, her eyes flashing with a chilling intensity.
Mingmei's move is clearly a declaration of sovereignty.
She was Rong Zhi's legitimate girlfriend.
What am I anyway?
Even though Rong Zhi is the only man she has ever been intimate with so far.
They can only be the eldest sister-in-law and the youngest brother-in-law.
If one is not careful, one could end up like today, facing the excruciating punishment of being slowly sliced to death.
Sang Yuwan's heart felt as if it were entangled by a knot of emotions, impossible to untangle or unravel.
drop--
Mingmei sent another message.
"Sister Wan, how much was the hairpin? I'll pay you back."
Sang Yuwan's pupils contracted, and she let out a cold laugh in her heart before replying.
"Can you afford to pay for it?"
Bright and beautiful replies instantly.
"I can't afford to pay for it, but Second Master can."
The words were a blatant provocation.
Sang Yuwan's brows were dark and gloomy, and he took a deep breath, replying with only one word.
"good."
Bright and completely quiet.
For some reason, Sang Yuwan's mood suddenly turned terrible. Darkness and shadows enveloped her heart, from which she could not escape.
I got up and walked to the window.
In early winter, the leaves of trees turn from green to yellow, eventually turning into withered leaves that drift silently away.
Half an hour later.
Minglang walked in again, "Madam, Madam and Young Master Mingyi have arrived."
Sang Yuwan frowned, her eyes filled with a chilling light. "Tell them to wait on the first floor. I'll be right down."
A deep worry lingered beneath his bright eyes.
Sang Yuwan composed herself and went downstairs.
"Wanwan."
"Sister Wan."
The person sitting on the sofa saw her and quickly stood up.
