Chapter 48 One slap and I can slap you again!
Liu Kun, his face dark, silently walked forward without explaining, and simply continued to follow.
Jiang Mingyuan was speechless and reminded him, "What do you want? Following me like this for no reason is hard not to suspect your motives."
Liu Kun was stubborn and refused to say anything, insisting on waiting until Jiang Mingyuan left.
Jiang Mingyuan had guessed it; Liu Kun was probably waiting for him to leave, but he refused to leave! Xiao Qiu and Liu Kun were not related; what if Liu Kun bullied him?
He's a righteous and good policeman; he must protect his young colleague!
So both of them held their breath, seeing who could last the longest.
Qiu Xiaoman ignored Liu Kun and, after treating her wound, went to see Shen Qinghuai in the gastroenterology department.
There's no way around it, Shen Qinghuai is too cunning!
Although she resented and disliked Shen Qinghuai, she felt she had to thank him since he had paid Zhao Qing's medical expenses in advance.
Of course, she wouldn't call him "Dad"!
When they arrived at the ward, she leaned against the door and said politely, "Old man, thank you for helping Zhao Qing. I will pay you back for her medical expenses. How about I transfer it to the card you had before?"
"Xiaoman, don't be childish, I don't need that little bit of money." Shen Qinghuai was quite happy to see his daughter, but that way of addressing her...
Sigh, it's his own fault; he hasn't mentioned acknowledging her as a member of the Shen family yet.
He was initially worried that Liang Yuting would cause trouble, but now, considering how Liang Yuting squandered over a million yuan in one go, and how successful his daughter is, he has begun to waver.
He tentatively asked, "Why be so distant with your own flesh and blood?"
Qiu Xiaoman rolled her eyes: "President Shen is joking. My surname is Qiu. Alright, it's getting late, you should get some rest."
Shen Qinghuai stared at her bandaged hand, opened his mouth, but couldn't explain anything. He could only instruct Shen Tenglong, "Along, go and see your sister off."
"Okay, Uncle." Shen Tenglong quickly grabbed the car keys and came out. Qiu Xiaoman left without even turning her head.
Shen Qinghuai, clutching his wound, chased after them and finally saw Jiang Mingyuan and Liu Kun standing in the corridor.
I couldn't help but wonder, "Why is Xiao Liu here too?"
Jiang Mingyuan also wanted to ask, so he quickly complained, "Uncle Chen, he wouldn't tell, and he's been following Xiao Qiu the whole way."
Helpless, Liu Kun could only greet him: "President Shen, my father sent me, but I can't say what it's about. I need to talk to your daughter first."
When she was addressed as his daughter, Shen Qinghuai immediately understood.
He squinted at Liu Kun, not saying anything, after all, among the Liu family, only Liu Yuandou was qualified to sit at the table and talk with him.
He tacitly allowed Liu Kun to leave, and Jiang Mingyuan had no choice but to follow.
After the young men left, Shen Qinghuai didn't call Liu Yuandou to inquire. Instead, he called Manager Zhao directly: "Sell 10% of Liu's shares tomorrow!"
Manager Zhao was completely baffled. Why would someone sell stocks out of the blue?
He quickly asked, "Mr. Shen, what happened?"
"That old bastard, send his illegitimate son to find Xiaoman!" Shen Qinghuai knew that Manager Zhao was a smart man, so he just needed to describe the Liu family's actions directly.
Manager Zhao immediately understood: "This is outrageous! If he wants to get close to Xiaoman, he should at least ask you first! What he's doing now is testing your father-daughter relationship, trying to get there first! Doesn't he realize that a bastard son has the nerve to covet your daughter, President Shen? I'll go teach him a lesson right now!"
"Same as always, remember to have the newspapers and radio stations set the tone." Shen Qinghuai was a master at playing the stock market.
Manager Zhao understood! After hanging up the phone, he quickly went to prepare the materials for tomorrow.

On the bus, Qiu Xiaoman kept yawning and had no energy to chat with her cousin.
Shen Tenglong was quite sensible; since she didn't say anything, he drove quietly.
As they approached the courtyard house, he warned, "This Liu Kun is Liu Yuandou's illegitimate son. His biological mother is a nanny, and he was raised by Liu Yuandou's first wife's sister. His first wife's sister died mysteriously after his identity was exposed. You must be very careful."
"I understand, brother." Qiu Xiaoman was a little surprised, not expecting that Liu Kun had such a background.
However, since the system didn't sound the alarm for gossip, it means that Liu Kun probably has nothing to do with his aunt's death.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Could you help me organize a family tree of the Liu family? Spouse, children, maternal family, husband's family, wife's family, the more comprehensive the better."
“No problem, I’ll give it to you tomorrow.” Shen Tenglong was very easy to talk to. After parking the car, he asked, “Do you need me to help you deal with Liu Kun?”
"No need, it's getting late, you should go back and rest. Please give my regards to your aunt." Qiu Xiaoman is a grateful person; in her past life, her aunt was the one who collected her body.
The old man's two lines of tears must have been genuine emotions; after all, no one needs to act for a dead person.
So she thought that her aunt must be a very, very good elder, and she should naturally show her respect.
Shen Tenglong was very surprised and also extremely happy. He turned his head and showed a simple and honest smile: "Okay! Come to my house to play when you have time! Your aunt has been talking about you every day and wants to see you."
"Team Leader Meng gave me three days off, but I want to go to the training base to spend time with Grey and the Pomeranian. They just arrived and aren't quite used to it yet. How about tomorrow after get off work at noon?" Qiu Xiaoman prioritized the dogs she was training; it was her job.
Everything else can step aside.
Shen Tenglong nodded: "Of course! Would you like to have lunch at my house tomorrow?"
"Okay," Qiu Xiaoman replied, seemingly unwilling to refuse.
Shen Tenglong became even happier and asked again, "By the way, do you prefer sweet or spicy food?"
"Eat it all." After all, her biological mother was a Shanghai auntie and her biological father was a Beijing uncle. One liked sweet food and the other liked spicy food. She had been used to their rivalry since she was a child.
Shen Tenglong noted it down, opened the car door, got out, and warned Liu Kun, who had followed him.
He himself looks simple-minded, but he always grins and makes a fierce face, which looks ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
He angrily warned, "Don't you dare bully my sister! Finish what you've said and get out of here! Do you hear me!"
Liu Kun was too lazy to pay attention to him, but fearing that he would continue to pester him and refuse to leave, he had no choice but to reluctantly reply with a sour face: "Yes, young master!"
That title "Young Master" is disgusting. Everyone in Beidu knows that Shen Tenglong's father is a coward and has no ambition!
Even when Shen Qinghuai took him to the auto trade center to pick out a car for Shen Tenglong, he could only awkwardly ask for a cheap Santana.
Therefore, Shen Tenglong was not a rich young master at all, but an ordinary child from an ordinary dual-income family.
But he wasn't angry, as long as Liu Kun knew what was good for him and didn't bully his little sister Xiaoman!
He snorted coldly, "You're smart to know what's good for you!" and turned to leave.
But he was still worried, so he drove a little further away and parked across the street, keeping a watchful eye on Liu Kun. If Liu Kun dared to make a move, he could rush over and beat him up!
Liu Kun was speechless. Was he some kind of heinous villain?
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a big idiot like Shen Tenglong.
He looked at Jiang Mingyuan, who was walking over from the car, and thought, "I've had enough. When will this ever end?"
He raised an eyebrow and leaned against a camphor tree by the roadside, wanting to see what kind of nonsense Jiang Mingyuan was going to spout.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Mingyuan simply lowered his head, took the lunchbox from Qiu Xiaoman, said "Get some rest" and left.
However, he followed suit and stopped on the opposite side of the road, one after the other, with Shen Tenglong.
Well, they both see him as a scoundrel!
Liu Kun sneered and turned to look at Qiu Xiaoman.
He had to admit that his father had good taste; Qiu Xiaoman was indeed beautiful!
She has almond-shaped eyes, delicate eyebrows, a small and upturned nose, and slightly red lips, like peach blossoms in early spring, exuding a unique fragrance.
At this moment, the pretty girl, who looked like a flower fairy, was crossing her arms and looking at him impatiently.
It's a pity, he has a bad temper.
He tried to relax his shoulders, stepped forward, and took out his business card from his suit pocket: "Hello, let me formally introduce myself. I am Liu Yuandou's youngest son, Liu Kun, and also Liu Xiangyang's uncle."
Qiu Xiaoman guessed it: this person came over late at night to try and get close to her, not because he was interested in Liu Xiangyang, but because he really wanted to get close to Shen Qinghuai's daughter.
She took the business card, raised an eyebrow at him, and didn't say anything.
Liu Kun had no choice but to continue, "My brother remarried and can't acknowledge this son. Thank you for taking him in."
Qiu Xiaoman remained silent. Was that all? There must be more to come.
As expected, Liu Kun received no response and, not wanting to be unable to explain himself when he returned, he had no choice but to finish his sentence himself: "On behalf of my father and myself, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Here is my contact information. If you have some free time recently, could I invite you to dinner?"
Qiu Xiaoman understood that eating was the most important thing.
But she didn't want to give the Liu family a chance to get close to her, so she directly stuffed the business card back into Liu Kun's breast pocket: "No need, that's my friendship with Yangyang, it's none of other people's business."
This is already very clear: since the Liu family doesn't acknowledge this child, then he's someone else, and they shouldn't get involved.
Unless they, like Shen Qinghuai, offer money, cars, and houses, then they might be able to barely afford a meal together.
Because they were entitled to a share of those things in the first place.
They're not here to take it all for themselves. If they can't even part with this little bit of money, why are they trying to get close to them?
As long as she's around, these people won't be able to come over without giving her a penny or saying thank you.
How hypocritical!
If you really want to express your gratitude, then give the money to Yangyang and let her see their sincerity!
She simply turned and left, too lazy to even make such a request. After all, everyone knows that one should compensate children who have been left behind.
The Liu family isn't short of money!
Her resolute departure made Liu Kun's eyes narrow. He also had his pride, and immediately retorted, "You don't mean to keep these kids around so you can bargain with their parents later, do you?"
Qiu Xiaoman turned around abruptly. These words were too vicious!
They actually misrepresented her motives, thinking she wanted to use these children to ask their parents for favors.
To speak so recklessly on the very first meeting, either Liu Yuandou failed to teach him how to behave, or the Liu family is a bunch of heartless bastards!
Enraged, she strode over and slapped Liu Kun hard across the face: "Don't judge me by your petty standards! I'm telling you right now, Yangyang is a living, breathing person, and your Liu family hasn't gone bankrupt! If you understand, then reflect on your actions. If you don't, that's fine too, I can slap you again!"
