Shen Zongbo: "I don't want to put you under house arrest, I just want you to think clearly about why you can't be with Duan Ze."
Shen Zongbai: "If you join forces with Duan Ze and want to leave, your father definitely can't stop you. But Shen Niannian, once you step out of the Shen family, you will no longer be my daughter."
Shen Zongbai looked at Shen Niannian with a complicated expression. The Shen family had a century-old foundation. Although it could not compare with the Luo family, it was still the result of generations of inheritance.
If Shen Niannian remains obstinate, her father will have no choice but to abandon her.
But since she was his own flesh and blood, Shen Zongbai still hoped that Shen Niannian could prioritize the overall situation.
There are many things in this world that are far more important than so-called love.
Shen Niannian ultimately didn't say anything, turned around and went upstairs, with the nannies quickly following behind.
"Bang—" The door to Shen Niannian's room was slammed shut.
Shen Niannian felt very heavy-hearted, but her mind was in a mess. Her father's words made sense, but she couldn't seem to give up Duan Ze.
It's one thing if she doesn't like Duan Ze, but this is the first time in so many years that she really wants to be with someone. Is there really no way to have the best of both worlds?
There was a knock on the door.
Shen Niannian looked over and He Yan walked in.
Shen Niannian lowered her head and called out, "Mom."
He Yan sighed, walked over and hugged Shen Niannian: "If I had known about the Duan family's background earlier... I definitely wouldn't have let you go to H Prefecture last time."
"Niannian, please listen to your parents this once. This family is not to be touched."
Shen Niannian looked at He Yan and asked, "Mom, what did Dad do to make you so afraid?"
He Yan was taken aback, then said, "Do you remember that demolished house on Hongfu Road five years ago?"
Shen Niannian: "Do you remember, is it related to that?"
He Yan: "New houses have been built in that place now, and the house prices are still rising, but there was one thing: back then, there were a few families who absolutely refused to move."
“This is quite a serious matter. An old man died from a heart attack, and your dad’s company had to pay compensation.”
Shen Niannian's brow twitched wildly: "Is it really a heart attack?"
He Yan: "It was jointly determined by the hospital and the court."
Shen Niannian: "Then what does this have to do with me and Duan Ze?"
He Yan patiently said, "Your father did use money to settle things, which is why the company didn't run into trouble and the project was settled. But Niannian, this matter doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Think about it carefully. If the Duan family knew about this, would they think that your father had nothing to do with it?"
"And the most important point..."
"If the other party holds a high position of power, you and Duan Ze cannot get married."
Shen Niannian's face turned completely pale.
He Yan: "Besides, the Shen family has stood firm in Kyoto for so many years, is it just because your father was lucky?"
He Yan patted Shen Niannian's shoulder: "Think it over carefully, silly girl."
"Is it worth giving up the status of a rich heiress, or... the entire family, for a man?"
After saying that, He Yan stopped talking about the topic and said, "Whenever you agree to break up with Duan Ze, that's when Mom will let you go."
"I'll have someone bring you some drinks later. Think about it carefully."
The door was closed again.
The large room felt somewhat empty at that moment.
A dense, throbbing pain spread through my chest.
Shen Niannian didn't even feel like taking a shower. She just lay on her back on the big bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
——
Two days passed peacefully like this. Duan Ze was promoted and transferred to be in charge of signing artists under Henglun. His salary also doubled, from more than 20,000 yuan to more than 50,000 yuan a month.
Duan Ze had some doubts and other thoughts, but he didn't have time to put them into practice because Shen Niannian had been away from him for two days.
Duan Ze could guess a bit of what was going on; he was waiting for Shen Niannian to make a decision.
Things have developed to this point, and it's not something Shen Niannian can simply agree to just because she says so.
It was that brat Shen Niannian who provoked him first.
Although he was thinking this, Duan Ze was a little annoyed because Shen Niannian had been sending him so few messages these past two days and hadn't even met with him.
at the same time.
Luo Shuyang also received the information that Xiao Wu sent over.
Jiang Jingchuan's business is quite extensive. He has to go to work every day, find time to cause trouble for Luo Qingyuan, and even send people to monitor the company and his home.
Most importantly, there's Ye Nuan.
We've been meeting a bit too frequently in these three months, haven't we?
Originally, Luo Shuyang suspected that Ye Nuan had a relationship with Jiang Jingchuan, but after reading Ye Nuan's information, Luo Shuyang dismissed the possibility.
Ye Nuan is a stubborn person who gives people the feeling that she will not give up until she achieves her goal. It is very troublesome to provoke someone like her.
If Jiang Jingchuan really wanted women, he could have plenty of obedient women just by paying money. He didn't see anything special about Ye Nuan.
He wants to compare himself to his sister Luo Qingyuan? That's just wishful thinking.
Luo Shuyang: "Since he wants to promote Ye Nuan, then let's make sure Ye Nuan never gets ahead."
Xiao Wu smiled and replied, "Okay, boss."
Xiao Wu: "Actually, Miss also had someone planted by Ye Nuan's side, but... Miss is ultimately too kind..."
Luo Shuyang snorted coldly: "Indeed merciful. Knowing that he is a threat, he didn't know how to be ruthless."
Xiao Wu: "But this woman seems to be the son-in-law's ex-girlfriend, right? Do you think the son-in-law might...?"
Luo Shuyang laughed: "If he really lends a hand, then this is no longer our responsibility."
"Let's not talk about that. Just go and do it. Also, hasn't he been enjoying visiting relatives lately? Send a gift to each of them, and you should also go and pay them a visit."
Xiao Wu was overjoyed; investigating the Jiang family gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
Xiao Wu: "Oh right, there's also the most important piece of information, which is Jiang Jingwen's travel itinerary over the past few years."
Luo Shuyang took it, looked at it, and then smiled.
"Keep this safe, and then casually give it to those people who are watching us tomorrow."
Xiao Wu's lips twitched. If he wasn't mistaken, the people following them should be related to the Duan family.
this…
Is the boss trying to use someone else to do his dirty work?
The travel trajectory map itself can't do much, but with this map, it's easy to check other things.
Xiao Wu: "Yes."
Luo Shuyang: "Do we have the guest list for the banquet yet?"
Xiao Wu: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be delivered tonight."
Luo Shuyang nodded, got up to go find his wife, and left only the words, "As soon as possible."
He didn't want anything to go wrong, especially since the so-called banquet was only three days away.
The bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
Duan Ze has moved out of his home and is now living in an apartment provided by the Kyoto company.
The apartment here was much bigger than the one in H state. He was tidying up his things when there was a knock on the door.
Duan Ze opened the door and found it was Shen Niannian.
The moment Shen Niannian saw him, her eyes instantly turned red.
