Chapter 78 When Will This Cycle of Vengeance End?
Shen Jingni returned home the following evening.
The reason she was able to travel so freely and without worrying about being disturbed by Lao Shen and Shen Qingyan these past few days was because she had an extremely capable helper at home.
Ms. Xu Ningwan is at the top of the Shen family's food chain.
Ms. Xu is waiting for her in the living room right now.
Seeing Shen Jingni return, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you have fun?"
"happy."
Although there were some unpleasant moments along the way, most of the time it was a very happy experience.
Shen Jingni subconsciously mimicked her, asking in a barely audible whisper, "When did my brother leave?"
"We've arrived in Los Angeles this morning."
I completely missed out on Shen Jingni.
Xu Ningwan leaned closer, put her hand to her mouth, and whispered, "I told them you went on a business trip, but they didn't believe me."
"Then what?"
"Then I gave the housekeepers two days off and had them cook and clean."
I'm so tired every day, I naturally can't control young couples dating.
Shen Jingni gave a thumbs up to the great Ms. Xu.
However, there was one thing she didn't understand.
"Why are we talking like this?" It's like we're doing something wrong in our own home.
Xu Ningwan glanced at the bedroom on the second floor. "I'm afraid Lao Shen will hear this. He's not so easy to fool lately."
Shen Jingni nodded, but still didn't quite understand, "Are you afraid of him?"
This is going against the natural order!
Ms. Xu shook her head. "I'm too lazy to reason with him. Your dad's personality is just so annoying, he talks non-stop all the time."
Shen Zhuoyuan had nagged Xu Ningwan a lot about Shen Jingni and Zhao Zonglan's relationship, complaining that Zhao Zonglan was too old, didn't know how to be considerate, and always had a cold face, and was not good enough for his daughter.
Every day, I play the villain who breaks up couples.
Xu Ningwan had scolded him a few times, and he would verbally agree to try to say less in the future, but as soon as Shen Qingyan came back, he would chatter on and on as if he had found an ally.
It's really annoying.
——
Two days later, the Shanghai Youth Designers Competition was held in Shanghai as scheduled, and was broadcast live on television and video platforms such as Douyin.
Shen Jingni, as the title sponsor and brand representative, rushed to the scene.
At the same time, the "National Strategic Enterprise Summit" was also held in Beijing's financial center.
This is an annual high-level meeting that brings together top figures from both the political and business sectors to announce the latest policies and regulations.
Zhao Zonglan's Jingyao Capital, the Song family's Tonghe Group, and the Rong family's Dingcheng were all among those invited.
To be honest, these meetings are very boring, but as the person in charge of the group, I have no choice but to attend.
But except for Xie Chengsui.
He has always been a carefree and lazy person, and every year he would find various excuses to take leave. Over time, the conference stopped inviting him. If there were any new documents from above, someone would be responsible for conveying them.
Because Dingcheng Group has a long-term cooperative relationship with the higher authorities, Rong Heng has almost always been the first spokesperson among the company representatives in the past two years.
Zhao Zonglan rarely speaks, not because he wasn't invited, but because he's too lazy to talk.
Song Yanting brought Song Qiyu with him this time.
During the afternoon tea break, he introduced Song Qiyu to several entrepreneurs and high-ranking officials.
While they were exchanging pleasantries, Song Yanting took a break, found a spot that wasn't too close or too far away, and checked his phone.
Zhao Zonglan had just received a phone call. He glanced indifferently in Song Qiyu's direction, then looked at Song Yanting.
He scoffed lightly, "So you've started grooming a successor too?"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Song Yanting let out a confused "Ah," then raised his phone and said, "I'm looking at the messages Shuyi sent me."
"She asked me what I wanted to eat tonight, and said she would cook for me."
Zhao Zonglan: "..."
Neuropathy.
Song Yanting adjusted his frameless glasses, his smile as gentle as ever. "Didn't Miss Chen invite you to dinner?"
Zhao Zonglan's expression darkened slightly, and his voice was cold. "She's in Shanghai."
Song Yanting nodded, and seeing that Zhao Zonglan's expression was not very good, he pressed his advantage, "Didn't she call you or send you a message or anything? It's a half-hour tea break, you must be so bored."
Zhao Zonglan left without saying a word, his face cold.
When Song Qiyu arrived, he saw Zhao Zonglan leaving.
"Fifth Brother doesn't seem very happy. What happened?"
While typing with his head down, Song Yanting replied casually, "Shuyi said he would cook for me. He's probably jealous of me."
Song Qiyu: "...Brother, don't be too happy yet."
Song Yanting looked up at him.
His voice immediately became much softer, but he still muttered, "Didn't Sister Shuyi just reject your marriage proposal a couple of days ago?"
Song Yanting: "..."
Is this his younger brother?
In such a situation, it was impossible for Zhao Zonglan to be bored.
Entrepreneurs and officials came to talk to him in an endless stream.
But he was feeling a bit irritated and didn't want to deal with it.
How could a man as indecisive as Song Yanting have a girlfriend who not only messages him but also cooks for him?
Zhao Zonglan couldn't understand it.
All I can say is that Song Yanting's methods of deceiving women are too clever.
He glanced at his phone, but still no message from Shen Jingni.
Although he knew she was probably busy, he still felt a sense of frustration.
You heartless bastard.
Just then, another young official wanted to come over and talk to Zhao Zonglan, but seeing that he was typing a message with his head down, he wisely stopped and did not disturb him.
The meeting ended promptly at 5:30 p.m.
A dinner is usually arranged after such a meeting.
Zhao Zonglan and his group never went.
After a day of meetings, Rong Heng felt his head was about to explode. Sitting in that chair, he felt incredibly bored and irritable.
Brother Xie is still the most shrewd.
After the meeting, the group took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Rong Heng yawned lazily, "Today I'm treating, I'm inviting my brothers to Wangjinglou for dinner and drinks to relax."
Song Yanting walked past him, chuckling softly, and deliberately raised his voice: "I won't go."
"Shuyi has already prepared dinner and is waiting for me at home. You guys go ahead and have fun."
After saying that, he walked straight toward the Bentley.
Nanfeng smiled awkwardly, nodded slightly to Zhao Zonglan and Rong Heng, and then hurriedly followed after them.
His young master is being a bit too arrogant.
Just two days ago, he was drinking alone, feeling down.
It's true... this cycle of revenge never ends.
Rong Heng has always been clueless in this regard; he thinks it's normal—spending time with your girlfriend is a matter of course.
So, he subconsciously turned to Zhao Zonglan and asked, "Fifth Brother, are you going to keep your sister-in-law company too?"
Zhao Zonglan: "...She is in Shanghai."
This group of people seems to have come on purpose to provoke him today.
But the person who angered him the most still hasn't replied to his message.
Rong Heng said "Oh". Although he sensed that his fifth brother seemed angry, he didn't know what he was angry about.
He then started making conversation, "Miss Wen and Brother Yanting have such a good relationship, huh?"
Zhao Zonglan didn't say a word again, and turned to leave.
Rong Heng: "..."
What exactly is Fifth Brother angry about?
