Chapter 47 Complex Relationships
At three o'clock in the morning, Ana Shen was lying casually on the sofa when suddenly a surprised voice woke her up from her sleep.
"Sister Nanxing, I found out!"
Ana Shen almost squinted his eyes, feeling drowsy, and asked in a daze, "...well, what did you find out?"
"It turns out that the previous collector of this necklace had the same surname as you, Shen Wan."
Hearing his grandfather's name again, Ana Shen suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
Gu Qing was still feeling proud of her discovery.
"But the internet says that Shen Wan is no good. He embezzled money from an entire region, leaving the entire area south of Jinqian River impoverished. He's developed for over a decade but hasn't achieved anything significant. But thankfully, this scoundrel set himself on fire over a decade ago. Otherwise, he'd be polluting the air and wasting food!"
Gu Qing cursed indignantly. She turned around and glanced at her colleague, "Although your last name is also Chen, Sister Nanxing, it's a good thing you didn't get involved with this kind of person. Otherwise, it would be really unlucky."
Shen Nanxing twitched the corners of his mouth, not even daring to reveal the slightest bit of sadness in his eyes.
Only she knew that grandpa did not commit suicide by burning himself.
There were many suspicious points about the fire at the Shen family that year.
"In my opinion, it's too easy for such people to die..." Gu Qing was still expressing his dissatisfaction.
"I'm going to sleep first."
Ana Shen found an excuse to leave. She really couldn't calmly listen to others scolding her grandfather who loved her the most.
Although grandpa was wrong, he did not deserve the death penalty.
The fire at the Shen family's house was so fierce that except for her who escaped by playing hide-and-seek, everyone else died in the fire.
Moreover, many jewelry shareholders were destroyed in the fire, so why did an intact necklace appear today for no reason?
There are too many doubts.
That's why she wanted to be a journalist.
“Ah, but our work…”
Gu Qing shouted twice, and when he saw Shen Nanxing close the door without saying a word, he said no more.
It was indeed late at night.
Ana Shen tossed and turned in bed.
She wanted to find out the truth about the Shen family back then. The first step was to break away from Huo Yunting's control, but if she wanted a quick divorce she had to get Xia Menghua's help.
But in order to complete Xia Menghua's task, she had to borrow money from Pei Fuyan, but Pei Fuyan and Huo Yunting did not get along.
The complicated relationships between these characters are really a headache.
Now Ana Shen can only pray that he won’t run into Huo Yunting on the day of the auction.
…
In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction finally arrived.
Ana Shen and Gu Qing, as reporters from Dingsheng Media, appeared at the scene early.
When Guan Liangde passed by her, she winked at him hard.
Uncle Guan, there's a change of plan! Can we discuss the price hike again?
As a poor girl like her, she couldn't even afford a low price.
Guan Liangde thought the young lady was trying to cheer him up, so he secretly made an "OK" gesture to her.
Everything is under control, I will shout as loud as I can when the time comes!
"Sister Nanxing, are your eyes uncomfortable?"
“No…” Shen Nanxing was about to explain when he saw Pei Fuyan and turned his tongue, “Yes! Yes, yes, yes!”
Gu Qing was confused, wondering whether it was there or not.
Ana Shen stuffed the tools in his hand to Gu Qing, "You hold it first, I'll go away for a while."
"Bound words."
She had already contacted him on the phone last night and mentioned that she wanted to borrow money to auction the necklace.
But he was busy with other things at that time and didn't agree immediately.
Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Pei Fuyan paused and looked back, only to see Shen Nanxing walking towards him from a distance with a flattering smile.
Brother, do you agree to borrow some money from me last night?
Ana Shen was thinking in his mind how to speak to Pei Fuyan in a way that would not be so presumptuous.
The person who was jogging towards him had always kept a moral distance from him, but now he suddenly greeted him enthusiastically. Something must have happened.
But what does it matter, she is Ana Shen, as long as she has any request to him, he will only be happy.
But just as Pei Fuyan's smile deepened, a hint of coldness suddenly intervened.
The door suddenly opened.
A man came against the light.
A strong arm climbed onto Shen Nanxing's shoulder.
It's so natural and legitimate!
Pei Fuyan raised his eyebrows with a cold gleam, "Boss Huo."
Huo Yunting's lips curved up, "Why does Mr. Pei look unhappy?"
"Huo Yunting? Why are you here?" Shen Nanxing's face turned pale.
"You can come, but I can't?"
Huo Yunting asked back, and his restless arm slowly slid down from her shoulder and then hugged her slender waist.
There was no unusual change in Pei Fuyan's expression, he just clenched his fists again and again.
"Nanxing, come back to me when you're done."
Pei Fuyan's voice was as gentle as ever, like a feather brushing against her heart.
Different from Pei Fuyan's tenderness, Huo Yunting was only cold towards her and protected the most basic dignity as a man.
Just as Pei Fuyan said that, Shen Nanxing felt a pain in his waist.
"We're not even divorced yet, and you're so enthusiastic when you see your ex?"
Ana Shen stared at Pei Fuyan. It was over. The plan to borrow money was ruined.
But in Huo Yunting's eyes, he thought there was a hint of reluctance in her look.
"Everyone's gone far away, why are you still looking?"
Ana Shen retracted her gaze and slapped Huo Yunting's big hand. "There are so many reporters here. Be careful not to get photographed. Your girlfriend will be sad again."
Why does it sound like it's his fault?
Huo Yunting's face grew increasingly irritated, and he sarcastically said, "Aren't you working as a handyman at Dingsheng Group? How come you're doing the work of a reporter?"
His eyes turned cold, as if he understood something. "Could it be that you're here for Pei Fuyan? Can't you hold yourself back? Or do you think I'm dead?"
There seemed to be anger hidden in the clear voice.
Ana Shen was too lazy to talk to him.
"Whether I look for Pei Fuyan or not has nothing to do with you. And don't forget, I have signed the divorce agreement. There are also rumors that you want to divorce me. In this case, please keep the appropriate distance from me!"
Huo Yunting showed a sarcastic smile on his face, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"You don't still think that I was the one who leaked the divorce news, do you?"
The expression on Ana Shen’s face suddenly darkened, “If it’s not you, then who else?”
Before the divorce news broke, only the two of them knew about it.
Apart from him, Ana Shen couldn't think of a third person.
"If I really wanted a divorce, why didn't I just sign it?!" Huo Yunting defended himself, the ice in his eyes gradually melted, revealing a rare hint of sincerity.
"Oh!" Shen Nanxing sneered, "Who knows? You didn't want to get married at the beginning, but didn't you compromise under Grandpa's pressure? Will Huo Yunting, who is fearless, compromise? Or does he have other plans?"
Huo Yunting's heart trembled, and his brows were as deep as the abyss.
Did she know something?
“Ah Shen Xing you…”
He grabbed her arm and was about to question her when he heard a call from the other side.
"Sister Nanxing, come and help!"
