Ouyang Tang was naturally accommodating to his cousin, but he wasn't so kind to Gao Wanning, who had caused Ouyang Jewelry to lose money.
With the tacit approval of Old Master Ouyang, he cleanly and decisively asked Gao Wanning to leave Ouyang Yu's apartment and find her own place to live.
Ouyang Yu was in the main courtyard at the time, so Gao Wanning couldn't meet with him. Her phone calls were always disconnected, leaving her with no way to get help. She had no choice but to move back to her own home from the apartment. She wanted to continue gambling on jade, but found her vision becoming blurry. Not only could she not see the people in front of her, but while gambling on jade, she couldn't even clearly see the color and texture of the jade beneath the rough stones.
After mistaking a dry green jadeite for an icy jadeite and losing a large sum of money, Gao Wanning dared not gamble on jadeite anymore.
Moreover, those former owners of small and medium-sized jewelry companies, who had all been rejected by the arrogant Gao Wanning, also talked about her failures with great relish and spread the word.
By the time Shen Wangshu found out, rumors were circulating that the Jade Goddess was actually a fraud, and Ouyang Jewelry had believed her and almost lost everything.
However, Shen Wangshu didn't care how Gao Wanning was doing now. This woman was a very resilient person. Even if she was in a difficult situation at the moment, as long as she was still on good terms with Ouyang Yu, she would always turn things around.
Her attention was now focused on the celebration banquet that her father was enthusiastically preparing for her. Her designs had made Shen's Jewelry a fortune, and the company was riding high. Several of its main jewelry pieces sold out as soon as they were released, which not only enhanced the reputation of Shen's Jewelry but also made people outside of S City somewhat aware of and interested in the company.
Shen Wangshu and her father discussed opening two more branches outside of S, but they were also in high demand.
It's like they're selling cabbages instead of jewelry.
Now that her father is riding high, he naturally wants to put his beloved daughter in the public eye.
Therefore, although people might laugh at him for being a petty person who had achieved success, Shen's father still organized a celebration banquet to celebrate Shen Wangshu's victory. He was a man of his word, taking on all the responsibilities himself. When Shen Wangshu was both amused and exasperated and wanted to help, Xue Xuan stopped him.
This man has lived in the Shen family for so long. Shen Wangshu was very busy recently and therefore neglected him somewhat. Xue Xuan was just considerate and didn't feel unhappy at the time, but now that Shen Wangshu has some free time, he showed a bit of resentment.
Shen Wangshu found it amusing to think about how the cold-faced, aloof young man managed to make a mournful expression on his handsome face.
"Now that I'm done with my work, I'll spend some quality time with you," she promised Xue Xuan with a smile as he blocked her in the hallway leading to her room.
Xue Xuan lowered his eyes and made a three-point gesture to Shen Wangshu.
"This is the third time you've said that," he said quietly.
He had so many businesses under his control, he should have been the busiest person, but he seemed to be the most leisurely person in the Shen family.
Shen Wangshu couldn't help but show an apologetic expression.
She knew she had neglected Xue Xuan during this time, and she knew he understood her and wouldn't complain, but that wasn't a reason for her to disregard his feelings. She felt guilty towards him, and seeing him looking at her expectantly, she couldn't help but raise her hand, tracing the cold lines on his face with her fingers, and whispered, "This time, I won't break my promise." Seeing Xue Xuan's dark eyes light up immediately, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"Would you like to join me at the celebration banquet?" she asked with a smile.
She and Xue Xuan were dating. Shen's father knew, Shen's mother knew, and Xue Xuan's bodyguards knew, but not many people outside knew.
Old Master Ouyang knew, but he wasn't stupid enough to go around making a fuss about it and bringing fame to the Shen family.
Therefore, Shen Wangshu really wanted everyone to know about her relationship with Xue Xuan.
"Good!" Xue Xuan's eyes were so bright and dazzling that they made people's hearts flutter, and the joy in them made Shen Wangshu feel a little bittersweet.
"Let everyone know that I am yours, and you are mine." Before her eyes flickered Ah Xuan's deep affection across lifetimes. She couldn't help but rest her forehead on the shoulder of this young man who was so devoted to her and whose persistence was heartbreaking. She whispered, "Let them all know about our relationship."
She wanted her love for Xue Xuan to be known by everyone, so that everyone would know that the man standing beside her was the one she loved most. She wanted a clear explanation for their relationship and hoped that Xue Xuan could receive the love he deserved.
This was the only thing she could do for him.
"You are mine, and I am yours." Xue Xuan's eyes fell on the small gold lock on her wrist, and he said softly but contentedly.
She acknowledged that he was her lover, which made him happier than anything else.
Xue Xuan couldn't help but lean down, grasp Shen Wangshu's hand, and press her against the wall. Looking down at her lips so close, he no longer hesitated and leaned down to kiss her.
She seemed to still carry the warm fragrance of the sun, which made Xue Xuan, who had been immersed in darkness for too long, feel warm.
He rubbed his slightly cool lips against her soft, red lips, wanting to possess her more deeply. He couldn't help but place his hand on her waist and gently caress it, feeling her delicate body tremble slightly. A low laugh and panting escaped his lips. Just as he was about to take it a step further, he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He quickly released his hand and hurriedly straightened Shen Wangshu's disheveled clothes.
As he pulled at the corner of Shen Wangshu's clothes that he had lifted, he noticed that Shen Wangshu's eyes were red, her lips were moist, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
