Chapter 10

Shen's mother was already very angry with her, and she could not even stand when she saw these densely packed paper bags.

Hearing her words, he immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? What money did your mother leave? Your family raised you to this age and you still have the nerve to ask for a debt—"

When she married Shen Anguo, the Shen family was already well off, the company was booming, money was pouring in like water, and all she had to do was enjoy herself and spend money.

She couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes regarding the daughter of her ex-wife who might take away her property, and she wanted to kick her out as soon as possible.

So Shen's mother arranged such a fiancé for her, but unexpectedly, she would take over his place.

Mother Shen watched her ex-wife's daughter stepping on her to move up, and she was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were about to burst. How could she be scared by her words?

As someone who had just recalled the plot, Shen Yuntang's information was not equal to hers.

The original owner's madness and behavior had different reasons from hers.

It’s not because her life has been too smooth, everyone follows her lead and she has never experienced any setbacks.

But because she had been targeted and suppressed by her stepmother for too many years, she had a strong possessiveness after marrying Huo Yuyan, fearing that others would take away her property and attention, causing her to become homeless again.

Therefore, she regarded Huo Xihuai, who was living there as a guest, as her enemy, and transferred all her hatred towards her stepmother and stepsister onto this "outsider".

She needs to keep "making trouble" and "being paid attention to" to get a sense of satisfaction.

So it became crazy and pretentious in the eyes of others.

In the early plot, the original owner didn't know what Shen Anguo had done.

By the time she found out, she had already been abandoned by Huo Yuyan and could barely protect herself, let alone have the chance to get back what belonged to her.

This is a slap in the face to this troublesome female supporting role, making her work so hard but end up with nothing.

How cool it is to watch from the heroine's perspective.

But Shen Yuntang is different.

No one dared to take away things that belonged to Shen Yuntang.

She nodded and repeated what Shen's mother had just said, "I thought you had a very good relationship as husband and wife, but it turns out that he didn't tell you his secrets."

Shen Yunhe couldn't help but frown now, "Shen Yuntang, you speak as if you know Dad's secret. Don't tell me that you used your mom's money to make a fortune when you first got married. Even if you did, you should have paid it back long ago after raising you for so many years."

She had vaguely heard that her father started from scratch and borrowed money from everywhere, so it was natural for her to make this guess.

If this is what Shen Yuntang said, she would not feel guilty. How much money could she borrow in that era? All the money she spent on supporting Shen Yuntang for so many years had already been paid back.

Mother Shen also reacted and sneered: "You are really good at fooling people. You said it was so serious, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter. You only have a few dollars in your eyes."

Shen Yuntang was surprised: "You really don't know that the company was founded by my mother?"

“…”

The scene suddenly became silent.

Upon hearing this family secret, the salesgirls pricked up their ears in excitement, then lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, pretending that they were still counting the inventory and recalculating the bills eight times.

Shen Yuntang didn't even look at the dumbfounded mother and daughter, and continued, "If you hadn't come to me specifically, I wouldn't have thought of pursuing this matter. Thanks to you for reminding me."

"I will hire a lawyer to sue him and give him three months to hand over the things that do not belong to him."

"If Shen Anguo asks me how I know this, tell him that it was revealed by one of his seniors. If someone can betray you once, he can betray you twice."

Although she couldn't remember how the original owner knew the truth, it was always right to pass the buck. Wouldn't it be happy to let those ungrateful people fight each other?

She picked up her bag and said before leaving: "It is natural for him to raise me, but it is not natural for my mother to raise him."

She smiled and tapped Shen Yunhe's shoulder, causing her to stagger as she was already dazed.

"Miss, remember to bring more money next time."

She swiped her card, had her things packed up and sent to the garage, and left.

The salesgirls and salesmen who were clearing out the stock on site all looked up at her from behind.

Nearly tens of millions of goods were bought just like that without even blinking an eye.

The man just now said that he would pay for her, and they thought he was some rich man, but he turned out to be just pretending to be rich. Not only did he fail in his pretense, but even everything she had was plagiarized. Tsk tsk.

Look at the other people's demeanor, the beauty just now is the real domineering one.

Shen Yunhe watched her walk away and wanted to hold her back to explain things, but unfortunately her hands and feet were weak and she had no strength at all.

She came to her senses and found herself being looked at with contempt by people around her. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life. She quickly lowered her head and dragged Shen's mother away.

It was not until they left the store that Shen's mother murmured in a trembling voice: "How come she is so rich? Is Mr. Huo so good to her?"

Shen Yunhe felt a prick in her heart. Thinking of how she swiped the card without blinking and Huo Yuyan's face, she felt sour that she interrupted her and said, "Mom, don't talk about this. The most important thing now is whether what Shen Yuntang said is true!"

If it were true, then all her pride and reliance over the years would be destroyed in an instant!

Besides, if Dad knew that it was their encounter with Shen Yuntang that made Shen Yuntang want to pursue the matter, neither of them would end up well.

Mother Shen also turned pale and said, "I'll go and test your father, just in case..."

If that was all true, she would never tell anyone about her meeting with Shen Yuntang today.

Shen Anguo is narrow-minded. If he knew that she had caused trouble for him, her good days would be over.

She still wants this marriage.

As for whether Shen Yuntang will really pursue the matter...that's none of her business. Maybe he's just threatening.

The mother and daughter left the mall in a daze, with different thoughts in their minds.

Shen Yuntang walked into the elevator and saw a text message from the driver saying that they were on the 17th floor.

She took a look and called Huo Yuyan.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, and someone even hung up.

Her already simmering temper flared up even more fiercely and she smiled a dangerous smile.

On the other side, Huo Yuyan, who knew nothing, just came out of the meeting room. His secretary handed him a cell phone, which he casually put in his pocket.

The group was discussing the content of the meeting in a low voice. The secretary suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, Mr. Huo, your wife called you just now. I thought you didn't want to answer, so I hung up for you."

Huo Yuyan braked suddenly.

A bunch of people behind them almost bumped into him. They were just confused when they heard their CEO Huo ask a question with a changed tone: "--Hang up?"

Who is hanging up?

The others looked confused.

Then, the indifferent Mr. Huo reached for his pocket in panic, then paused, calmed down, and patted the dust off the corner of his clothes.

Although seemingly calm, he was actually very fast. He strode towards the office at a speed that no one could catch up with and quickly slammed the door.

secretary:"……?"

What is Mr. Huo doing?

Shouldn't I nod approvingly?

When Shen Yuntang received Huo Yuyan's call back, he laughed and hung up the call immediately.

She glanced at the clothes rack with an impatient look on her face, crossed her arms and asked the driver: "How long will Huo Xihuai continue to try?"

It's always been others who wait for her to go shopping, never her waiting for others.

Driver: "...Ms. Shen, I just went in for half a minute."

Shen Yuntang tapped his arm with his fingers and urged, "Tell him to hurry up."

Driver: "...Okay, Ms. Shen."

He ran into the fitting room helplessly, and just as he knocked on the door, it opened from the inside.

A young man with slightly sweaty hair came out and met his eyes.

The driver was stunned for a moment and almost didn't recognize him.

Huo Xihuai usually wore those gray, old and worn T-shirts, which looked boring and thin, and always made people ignore his face.

But now that he had changed into a bright orange sweatshirt, that face was revealed.

The handsome boy with a dull expression, surrounded by bright colors, looks exceptionally clean and innocent.

He looked at the driver, then lowered his head and walked out silently.

Shen Yuntang leaned back on the sofa, feeling as comfortable as if this whole place belonged to her family. The shopping guide even felt compelled to place a plate of desserts for her and carefully poured her tea.

Huo Yuyan had not answered his call for more than twenty times. The last time, she finally had the mood to answer it. She leaned lazily against the back of the sofa, without answering, and listened to him.

"..." Huo Yuyan didn't expect that the call was suddenly connected. The words were stuck in his throat. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Dear Miss Shen, what can I do for you?"

She thought that the person on the other end would cry and angrily call him a bastard for daring to hang up on her, but she didn't expect that Shen Yuntang didn't say a word this time.

Huo Yuyan felt even more uneasy.

If she was upset, it would be fine. He at least knew how to comfort her, but this silence...

Silence often brews a bigger storm...

Shen Yuntang raised his eyes and saw Huo Xihuai walking out with his head down.

Only then did I realize that he had fair skin, tall stature, a thin face, and turned out to be a clothes hanger.

She looked again and felt that many of the clothes were suitable for him. Her desire to dress up suddenly came up, so she casually swept away, "Take away all the bright colors. He will wear any color of the rainbow."

The shopping guide was stunned: "...Okay, okay."

She took one look at the handsome boy and immediately understood. Then, as if she was afraid that Shen Yuntang would regret it, she immediately ran to the clothes rack to get clothes, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and she grabbed dozens of pieces in her hands.

She had been working here for all these years and had never heard of such an outrageous request.

This willful beauty is simply——

Damn attractive!

If she were that boy, she would have obeyed long ago!

Huo Xihuai was also stunned, and spoke subconsciously: "Shen..."

But Shen Yuntang didn't pay any attention to him, and picked up the phone again.

Huo Yuyan on the other side was confused. He took his phone down and looked at the screen, then asked tentatively, "Miss Shen? Shen Yuntang? Are you there?"

Shen Yuntang finally chuckled at him.

For some reason, to Huo Yuyan's ears, it sounded like the signal before being hanged.

"Huo Yuyan," Shen Yuntang said slowly and sweetly, "I heard that you love my sister?"

“…”

“…”

For a moment, everyone who heard this fell silent.

Huo Xihuai's expression froze and he looked at her in surprise.

Huo Yuyan's mouth just opened but was sluggish and he couldn't close it for a long time.

He looked at the crowd outside the French window, and it took him a while to react. His voice almost changed its tone: "...Which bastard spread rumors about me?"

Shen Yuntang sneered: "The lover you want but cannot get."
