Chapter 41 [Update 1, 2, 3]

Shen Yuntang held up his head with no expression on his face.

She just looked at Huo Yuyan in a daze.

The air was extremely quiet for a moment. She frowned slightly, with a bit of disgust and pickiness, just admiring the changes on Huo Yuyan's face, as if she was judging some unprepossessing little dessert that was brought to her table.

He has a cold and elite face, but he is so naive that it is unbelievable.

How did Huo Yuyan grow up so big?

"What..." Huo Yuyan pursed his lips, feeling a little dry. His throat moved, and he didn't know if it was fear or nervousness that made his heart feel a little overweight. Suddenly, he felt like he was caught stealing something and the owner was questioning his motives for stealing.

Of course he was just giving an example, he never stole anything.

He paused again, "…what, me?"

People tend to speak without thinking when they are nervous. After finally opening the head, Huo Yuyan said expressionlessly, following his own logic with a blank mind, "...I, I think this question is a bit awkward. Do you want me to admit it or deny it?"

Admitting it is shameful, but not admitting it is life-threatening.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuyan suddenly froze.

Why is there an option to admit it?

He had offended Shen Yuntang more than once or twice. At most, she would scold him again. At most, she would pick up something nearby and throw it at him. What did she have around her now? The most lethal thing was just a pair of high heels. She might not even think that he was worthy of being the ghost under her shoes.

Shen Yuntang couldn't cause him any physical harm, so what was he afraid of?

Are you afraid that she will make trouble unreasonably?

He could have ignored her, or even warned her when she went too far, like he had done before.

Are you afraid that she will be upset?

He could just move out of the Huo residence and live in a house he bought, just like before.

So why can’t we do it now? How is it different from before?

Huo Yuyan's mind was blank and he was having a hard time thinking. He forced himself to focus on the question and thought about it hard.

He dragged out those scenes and replaced the subjects with the current Shen Yuntang. After the replacement, he suddenly felt that these things seemed unbelievable if they happened to her.

How could he imagine losing his temper with Shen Yuntang, how could he imagine treating Shen Yuntang coldly.

Can anyone really do it?

Why can't this be done?

Huo Yuyan wondered again if he couldn't stand girls' tears.

But it’s not like he hasn’t seen other people cry, and it’s not like no one has looked at him with tears in their eyes, but his feeling was always… You are such a weird person, why are you looking at me? Stop crying and get back to work.

But why was he afraid when he saw Shen Yuntang unhappy?

Was she the one who drove him out of Stockholm?

Huo Yuyan thinks that he doesn't have the attribute of being a masochist.

Being stared at by Shen Yuntang without blinking, his heart felt even heavier, and it even seemed as if the emotions had turned into substance and were secreted from his heart, hanging heavily into his abdomen.

It even clicked a little.

He pursed his lips hard, and found that Shen Yuntang was still so calm. He couldn't help but ask indignantly: "...Aren't you embarrassed?"

In this kind of situation, this kind of problem, this kind of relationship, why didn't she feel embarrassed at all? His scalp was already tingling, but Shen Yuntang seemed to be quietly watching his joke.

Without even raising his eyes, Shen Yuntang said, "You are the one who was exposed, why should I be embarrassed?"

Huo Yuyan seemed to be about to laugh at her, and said without thinking: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for most people to find out that an acquaintance likes them?"

The air became quiet again.

Huo Yuyan was the main person who created the silence.

He was stunned and dazed, as if he had said something unbelievable to himself.

Shen Yuntang tilted his head, his eyes becoming even more intriguing.

After a while, Huo Yuyan seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore, so he stood up, opened the door and walked out, and the door slammed shut. Before Shen Yuntang had time to think that Huo Yuyan was finally tough, the door that had just been closed was pushed open again, and he walked in aggressively again, and sat down on the bed in a state of self-abandonment.

The mattress sank a little, and Shen Yuntang stopped lying down and sat up to look at him.

I don't know what he figured out in just half a minute. Now his back exudes a sense of desolation as if he is about to be executed.

After a while he finally spoke.

"It's over." Huo Yuyan turned his back and sat on the bed, muttering in disbelief, "I really like you?"

He was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Shen Yuntang.

After meeting Shen Yuntang's calm eyes, Huo Yuyan paused for a moment, then straightened up, supported himself on his knees, and slowly held up his head.

After a moment, he rubbed his hair vigorously again.

He was so embarrassed by himself that he didn't know what to say to ease the embarrassment. He wanted to leave this embarrassing place, but he felt reluctant to leave.

You said you can't finish Huo Yuyan! You are such a loser!

He cursed himself and hardened his heart, ready to face Shen Yuntang's ridicule. He himself felt that he was so funny, so funny that it made people laugh. It was unexpected that someone pointed out that he liked her in such a scene.

He likes her.

And he himself didn't even know it.

He propped up his head, stared at the carpet under his feet, and said with almost gritted teeth: "If you want to laugh, then laugh as soon as possible. I only allow you to laugh for a few minutes."

"As the head of the family, you still have to give me some face."

"Although I am in a weak position, please don't think about doing anything excessive to me. I won't agree to it—"

Shen Yuntang actually smiled.

He felt like he was about to explode and wanted to slam the door and leave immediately, but before he could stand up, a hand hooked the back of his shirt and pulled him down. He didn't dare to move for a moment, and remained tense and alert, as if he was afraid that Shen Yuntang would throw him over the shoulder.

Huo Yuyan sat on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands, motionless, trying to isolate himself in his own world.

He shut himself in, but Shen Yuntang had no intention of letting him go, and he kept playing on his sense of shame.

"Oh, so that's why you'll treat me to a candlelight dinner? Help me act? Go to the movies with me? Chase me to the Golden Night Banquet?"

Shen Yuntang paused for a moment, as if he was still counting his actions, "Did you deliberately ask me to attend the parents' meeting?"

"Want to get an excellent family?"

"That's enough!" Huo Yuyan raised his voice, then slid down from the bed with his head in his arms, shouting unsurely, "Shen Yuntang, stop it! I will turn hostile!"

Shen Yuntang hummed, as if he was looking forward to it, and leaned on the bed to look at him sideways, "How are you going to turn against me?"

Huo Yuyan held the word "I" in his mouth for a long time and couldn't spit it out.

After a while, he suddenly hugged his head and turned his back to Shen Yuntang.

"I won't pay any attention to you."

Shen Yuntang: “…”

This is called falling out.

Shen Yuntang almost laughed at his stupidity.

There were so many people who liked Shen Yuntang that she couldn't even remember them all, and she didn't know many of them. She didn't really care. Those people who liked her would politely and carefully invite her to dinner, and at the table they would either talk about investing in stocks or fine arts in an orderly manner, and introduce the origin, year and baking method of each dish, and would always read the chef's name in French.

She found it quite boring.

These people don’t live as exquisitely as she does.

To be honest, Huo Yuyan is the first local dog to be so unique.

She could even mess up a candlelight dinner. When someone asked her to go for a walk on the beach, Huo Yuyan took her to the sports meet to run. When someone asked her to go to an art exhibition, Huo Yuyan followed her and either beat them up or acted.

He always makes himself look miserable, and yet he tries to embarrass himself again and again.

Even in this kind of scene where love can be expressed, one still has to appear tough and threatening in a weak way.

Shen Yuntang thought it was fun to bully Huo Yuyan.

She had bullied so many people, but bullying him was the most fun.

In a world surrounded by male protagonists, Silly Dog stands out.

Huo Yuyan had already made up his mind not to care about Shen Yuntang today. Shen Yuntang was a pervert without any sympathy, and she would never let him go. He sat for a while, and his heart rate barely stabilized. He was about to get up when he suddenly heard Shen Yuntang shout:

"husband?"

Huo Yuyan fell down again.

He was stupid.

Huo Yuyan propped himself up on the ground, staring straight ahead motionlessly, his head going numb.

He heard Shen Yuntang say behind him: "Are you going to turn against me?"

...He swore that this was the best sentence he had ever heard from Shen Yuntang in his life. Absolutely, this person just wanted to laugh at him. He would not let her succeed. Huo Yuyan's mind was very clear.

Huo Yuyan took a deep breath and said, "I'll leave if I say so."

This time he finally managed to stand up, but someone grabbed his hand.

Huo Yuyan: “!”

His entire right arm went numb and he almost cursed. He instantly released all the strength below his wrist and even wanted to retract all the nerve endings in his hand to reject any touch.

After a while, he said solemnly to the door: "Shen Yuntang."

Shen Yuntang said "Hmm?" as if watching a show.

"I advise you not to be so presumptuous. Although we are an old married couple, we should still be moderate."

Shen Yuntang's hand slid to his fingertips, just hooking a section of it, and said, "I didn't use any force, just go ahead."

Huo Yuyan's fingers twitched.

"It's okay, just shake me off." She still had a smile on her face, paused, sighed, and even said in surprise, "So Mr. Huo doesn't dare?"

Huo Yuyan couldn't stand this kind of provocation.

He turned around and smiled, "I don't dare? Haha, Shen Yuntang, you are so good at telling jokes, I'll show you right now."

He withdrew his hand, paused, and said, "Really got rid of it."

"Be prepared."

"...You told me to dump you, so don't try to touch me later."

Shen Yuntang just looked at him leisurely.

Huo Yuyan's dignity had been trampled on countless times, but he still wanted to pick up his dignity. He just took a deep breath and was about to shake off Shen Yuntang's hand that was just lightly hooked around him, but Shen Yuntang slipped into his fingers playfully and held him.

"Go ahead." Shen Yuntang looked at him with a smile.

Huo Yuyan was half frozen.

He opened his mouth and closed it again, his lower lip trembling for a while, feeling so wronged.

He is basically Shen Yuntang's plaything.

When she is happy, she will deliberately pull his hand. When she is unhappy, she will tell him to go away. Even the Husky she keeps at home is not so easy to deal with.

He is emotional.

Shen Yuntang felt the hand she was holding tighten, and he used a little force to hold her, as if he wanted to do something. Then he pulled her hand up and rubbed his nose.

She even heard him sniffle and sigh deeply, as if his emotions were really fluctuating.

"Shen Yuntang." Huo Yuyan was silent for a while before saying, "You really went too far."

She was about to ask me why I went too far, but Huo Yuyan pressed her hand down, clenched it tightly, and leaned on the bed and said angrily: "I said I like you and you treat me like this? I'm just your plaything, you just want to laugh at me."

His voice was getting lower and lower, and he felt more and more wronged, but considering that he was questioning her, he still toughened up: "Is it wrong for me to like you? I just trusted the wrong person, and I didn't do anything against the law. Why should I be toyed with by you like this-"

"Yes, a plaything."

Shen Yuntang nodded calmly, interrupting his output. His free hand smoothed his hair and rested it on the back of his neck. He even smiled, "How else do you want Shen Yuntang to play with you?"

Huo Yuyan's expression disappeared.

After a moment, he used all his strength to break free from Shen Yuntang's hands and ran out as if running for his life.

Shen Yuntang laughed so hard that he fell on the bed.

She laughed for a long time before sitting up straight, getting out of bed, removing her makeup and washing up.

Shen Yuntang slept soundly every night, and tonight was no exception, but Huo Yuyan was not necessarily the same.

He sat in the living room until midnight. When Huo Xihuai came out to get some water, he saw a dark shadow on the sofa and was really startled.

Huo Yuyan slowly turned his head, his mental state seemed not particularly normal, and asked him slowly: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Huo Xihuai was frightened by him and stuttered for a moment. He reached out and turned on the small light next to him, then said, "Brother, brother, I just finished the test paper."

Huo Yuyan turned back and nodded in realization, "Go to sleep."

After filling the cup in his hand, Huo Xihuai screwed the lid on. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

He felt that his brother seemed mentally unstable now.

Out of concern about the situation tonight, Huo Xihuai paused and sat down next to him.

After a while, Huo Yuyan realized that he hadn't left yet, and asked him in a vague tone: "Are you still not asleep?"

"...Brother, you didn't sleep either."

"oh."

After a while, Huo Xihuai decided to harden his heart and touch his pain point. After all, only by finding out the problem can he prescribe the right medicine.

He hesitated and asked, "Is Miss Shen angry?"

Huo Yuyan's eyes were a little dazed, but after reacting to Huo Xihuai's words, he slowly shook his head.

Huo Xihuai breathed a sigh of relief. But since he was not angry, what was going on with his brother?

He didn't know how to ask, so he could only sit beside him in silence.

After a while, he silently unscrewed the lid of the cup and took a sip of water.

This noise seemed to have awakened Huo Yuyan. He looked ahead numbly and suddenly asked, "Xi Huai, what would you do if someone wanted to play with you?"

Huo Xihuai spat out a mouthful of hot water.

Huo Yuyan still looked at him numbly, then reached out and tore off two pieces of paper for him without any change in his expression.

Huo Xihuai wiped the water stains in a panic and screwed the cup lid back on. Then he asked in confusion, "...playing? What kind of playing?"

"Even though you like her, she just wants to play with your feelings, calling you to come and dismissing you at will, making you lose your heart and your body."

Huo Xihuai: “…”

No way, the person you are talking about is not Miss Shen.

After a while, he said cautiously: "Brother...it seems that you don't need to worry about the latter problem."

Huo Yuyan was silent.

He said: "The one who doesn't speak is not necessarily dumb, he may be a good brother with high emotional intelligence."

"……sorry."

Huo Yuyan sighed heavily.

Huo Xihuai finally grasped the key words and asked in surprise, "Brother and Miss Shen confessed their love?"

Huo Yuyan immediately covered his mouth with a fierce look in his eyes, "What do you mean I confessed to her? She is just imagining and making wild guesses."

Huo Xihuai broke free from his hand and said, "Did she guess wrong?"

"The problem is that she guessed right."

Huo Xihuai stopped talking.

He also felt that his brother was beyond help.

The two brothers looked at the electric fireplace in front of them and sighed.

"Does anyone like you at school?" Huo Yuyan asked suddenly.

Huo Xihuai was silent, not knowing how to change the subject.

He thought about it for a moment, and said uncertainly: "...Maybe."

It seemed that some classmates joked that someone often peeked at him, someone changed his signature to hxh, and someone vowed to pass the competition and take classes with him.

But it seemed that only the exercises and test papers were in his mind, and he didn't remember much.

Huo Yuyan said solemnly: "Did they do anything?"

Huo Xihuai was stunned for a moment.

Although he didn't quite understand what Huo Yuyan meant, he still told him the rumors he remembered. After he finished speaking, he saw that Huo Yuyan was thoughtful.

They were in awkward silence on the sofa for most of the night. Huo Xihuai couldn't hold on any longer. He yawned and wanted to go upstairs to sleep. Then he heard Huo Yuyan mutter, "I don't have a signature."

Huo Xihuai: “…”

After he went upstairs, Huo Yuyan sat in the dim light for a while. He felt that the light affected the atmosphere and prevented him from using his imagination, so he got up and turned off the light, then sat down again, clenched his hands, supported his chin, and looked ahead.

plaything……

Just a plaything!

At least I have a reputation, which is better than those unknown wild men.

There are many stories in novels and TV dramas about canaries rising to power from caged birds. So what's wrong with being a plaything? Can't a plaything become the master?

Huo Yuyan was full of confidence in himself again.

The next day, when Shen Yuntang woke up, Huo Yuyan had already gone to the company.

Huo Xihuai is packing his luggage and will be going to the capital soon.

He was visibly happy, the competition he missed in his previous life finally gave him another chance, and after this competition, he would be almost 18 years old. In this life, he could go to school at the age of 18 instead of staring at the ceiling in a daze in the hospital.

The happiness of rebirth had never filled him so fully.

Shen Yuntang passed by the door of his room. When Huo Xihuai heard the voice, he stopped and looked up. She walked down the stairs gracefully holding the handrail. Chef Ji Liang diligently brought her early morning coffee, and housekeeper Li, who was watering the flowers in the yard, also spoke to greet her.

Huo Xihuai looked at her back and suddenly thought of last night.

...He suddenly felt a little worried.

Can my brother really do it alone?

When Huo Yuyan came to the company that day, his subordinates couldn't help but look at him a few more times when they greeted him, and their eyes stayed on his haggard dark circles.

What happened to Mr. Huo?

Was yesterday's exhibition so tedious? Were you so busy that you didn't go to bed until midnight?

After everyone discussed it for a while, they heard a piece of news from a colleague that President Huo personally went to some club last night and caught the company's internal mole.

At that moment, everyone gasped.

Mr. Huo is worthy of being Mr. Huo. He is so dedicated to his work that he takes people to inspect exhibitions during the day and personally breaks into entertainment venues to catch traitors at night. What kind of dedication is this?

The employees were feeling moved, but suddenly someone became puzzled.

"Why did Mr. Huo change his WeChat name?"

"What's changed?"

"Changed to Huo Luyan."

“…”

The colleague was stunned for a moment, then thought of an explanation and laughed, "I understand, I understand. Mr. Huo means the law of self-discipline. This name change is good! Mr. Huo is very meaningful!"

"I see. Mr. Huo really works really hard for his job. This spirit is worth learning from."

Huo Yuyan felt that Shen Yuntang should be up by now, so he sent a private message to Huo Xihuai.

Huo Luyan: Please tag me in the family group.

Huo Xihuai:?

Huo Luyan: Hurry up and tag my nickname.

Huo Xihuai was a little dazed and asked him: What's the reason?

Huo Luyan: Just make it up.

Huo Xihuai stared at his phone blankly. After a while, he suddenly saw the movie ticket on the table, which he had taken away with him yesterday.

He paused, thinking he had found a reason, so he took a photo and posted it in the family group he had just been added to, and at the same time tagged Huo Yuyan and Shen Yuntang: I went out to see a movie yesterday.

After the photo shoot, Huo Xihuai realized that there were only two tickets left. He wondered where the other one was lost. He might have lost it when he was holding the drink in his hand.

Huo Yuyan just saw his message and immediately smiled calmly.

Huo Xihuai really understood him and tagged Shen Yuntang as well. Now she couldn't help but see it.

So he waited for a while, then pretended that he had just seen it and replied with a smiley face in the group.

Ms. Tang: [thumbs up][thumbs up]

His father: [thumbs up][thumbs up]

Even his long-lost grandfather showed up and sent a clapping soybean emoji.

Huo Yuyan cleared his throat and saved the picture of the movie ticket.

Huo Xihuai was so sensible that he sent him two photos. Once he posted them on his Moments, wouldn't that mean that they went to the movies alone?

So Huo Yuyan rarely posted a circle of friends.

Huo Luyan: The movie is good and the atmosphere is great.

With a picture of movie tickets.

Soon someone replied attentively: Mr. Huo and his wife went out to see a movie? [Applause]

He suddenly laughed, then quickly retracted his expression, pretending to be cool and not responding.

Replying now seems too hasty.

He put his phone aside.

Shen Yuntang also received the message. He looked in the group and saw that it was the movie tickets sent by Huo Xihuai.

She didn't pay attention to what the other ID was, so she saved it and posted it on her Moments with the caption: It's quite ugly.

After a while, a group of people liked her post, but she didn't even read the comments.

Huo Yuyan was waiting for Shen Yuntang to come and ask him about his ID. He was getting a little impatient waiting, but he still advised himself not to check his phone too early as it would make him look anxious. In fact, he was not anxious at all.

I guess Shen Yuntang was thinking about replying to him during lunch.

He didn't believe that Shen Yuntang, who was so kind to him last night, would turn against him when he woke up today.

Huo Yuyan waited until noon before turning on his cell phone.

He opened his circle of friends and saw that after the first subordinate asked him whether he and his wife went out to see a movie, another relative asked: Did you go out to see a movie with your brother?

Huo Yuyan was a little puzzled.

He flipped through it and found that Huo Xihuai seemed to have also distributed movie tickets.

The caption is: With family ^ ^

Huo Yuyan was a little embarrassed for a moment and replied to his relative: The three of us went to see it together.

After a while, he saw a group message pushed to the top.

Upon closer inspection, the group members were Zhou Ying, Gu Lan, Fu Hengze, Shen Yuntang, and Huo Xihuai. No one knew when the group was created. None of the three of them were friends with him. It was Huo Xihuai who pulled him in. The group was called "Golden Night Banquet".

Huo Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then he saw Zhou Ying and said, "Xiao Huai and Miss Shen went out to see a movie?"

Huo Luyan:?

Huo Luyan: The three of us

Huo Luyan: The movie is good [thumbs up]

Zhou Ying was also stunned for a moment: Oh, haha, it turns out that they are a family of three going out, so warm!

Zhou Ying: I saw Miss Shen’s circle of friends say that the movie was ugly and she hesitated for a moment whether to go. Do you think it’s good, Mr. Huo?

Huo Luyan: ...

Shen Yuntang posted on WeChat Moments? How come he didn't know?

Huo Yuyan clicked on her profile picture and saw only a horizontal line.

Blocked him without a doubt.

Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment.

After all this time, he didn't achieve his goal of showing off his affection.

He was so mad.

He was about to settle accounts with Shen Yuntang when he saw Zhou Ying add another question: "Why did Mr. Huo change his name to Huo Luyan?"

Huo Yuyan's spirits lifted.

It turns out that Zhou Ying is sometimes quite good at talking!

Huo Yuyan hesitated for a moment, and replied to her coldly with three words: Nothing.

Now Shen Yuntang will definitely notice it.

Shen Yuntang was in the living room looking at the form sent by her assistant. After the exhibition, orders increased dramatically, and they also had to consider whether to only provide online sales channels or open offline stores.

The phone kept ringing but she didn't pay attention.

It wasn't until Huo Xihuai packed his things and was about to go out with his suitcase that she looked up.

Huo Xihuai paused at the door, then suddenly turned around and said carefully: "Miss Shen, if my brother does something stupid, can you forgive him...?"

Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "When does he not act stupidly?"

Seeing Shen Yuntang looking down at the form, as if he was not interested in this topic, Huo Xihuai was silent, mourning for his brother's future life.

Before leaving, he decided to make one last effort for his brother: "He seems to have changed the name of his account."

After Butler Li sent Huo Xihuai out, Shen Yuntang paused, took out his cell phone and took a look.

In the group Zhou Ying created, Huo Yuyan was complaining.

The id was suddenly changed to Huo Luyan.

Shen Yuntang: “…”

I don't understand some straight men.

She replied indifferently: Don't embarrass yourself.

Huo Yuyan's long speech came to an abrupt end.

After a while, he came to chat with Shen Yuntang privately.

Huo Luyan: I've figured it out.

Shen Yuntang put down the phone directly and didn't respond to his suspense. She would wait until he couldn't wait any longer and then tell him.

Huo Yuyan remained silent for a long time without waiting for her to ask him what he had figured out.

In the end, he decided to grit his teeth and lower his head.

After all, he is still in a weak position now, and it won't be too late to adjust his posture after he turns defeat into victory.

Huo Luyan: ...What it means is that our marriage by agreement can have some other development directions.

Ten out of ten marriage novels talk about arranged marriages which are invalidated. What's wrong with them just following the trend?

Shen Yuntang: What, do you want to become business partners?

Huo Luyan: ...I mean

It's been inputting for a long time.

Shen Yuntang had read several pages before he finally saw him nervously send a message: ...How about a real couple?

Shen Yuntang: What kind of real couple is this, Mr. Huo^_^

Huo Yuyan fell silent again.

Shen Yuntang just wanted to laugh at him, but he had to let her see this joke.

Huo Luyan: ...the kind of couple who won’t block me on WeChat Moments.

He had a feeling that Shen Yuntang must be laughing at him on the other end, so he didn't want to continue chatting anymore. He turned off the phone screen, pinched his eyebrows hard, and then went back to work.

After a while, he picked it up again casually, unlocked it and took a look.

Shen Yuntang: I plan to divorce you once the company makes enough money. Plaything, it depends on how hard you work:D

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Divorce? He said we should end the marriage agreement. Shen Yuntang said divorce?

For a moment, he once again felt the cold-bloodedness of this woman. Last night she was holding his hand and calling him... calling him husband, but today she wants to divorce him. Is there any irresponsible scumbag like her?

There's no way you can believe what Shen Yuntang says.

He got angry and decided to delete the post that failed to show off his affection. After deleting it, the interface shrank and another post appeared below.

Shen Yuntang: It’s quite ugly.

Picture of movie tickets, sent two hours ago.

Huo Yuyan was silent.

After a moment, he clicked "Re-edit Moments" without changing his expression.

Shen Yuntang ignored him and received two more messages during lunch.

One is that the two magazine editors found out their schedule and could interview her in the next two days, and sent her a photo.

The photo looked very old, as if it was cut out from some newspaper. The background was probably from the 1990s, but the woman in the photo was already fashionable beyond her time.

She stood with the young Editor-in-Chief Wang, smiling brightly and holding a bottle of perfume in her hand.

Editor-in-Chief Wang said: This is Ms. Zhuo Mei. More than 20 years ago, she opened a beauty products company in Haishi. I went to interview her. This is a photo of me and her. Because she was so beautiful, I was deeply impressed by her. However, I was transferred to another job at that time and I didn’t contact her directly. The editor I contacted didn’t seem to have interviewed her again. Later, I didn’t hear that she was the owner of any brand in Haishi.

Shen Yuntang paused.

The person in this photo really looks like her and is really beautiful. No wonder Editor-in-Chief Wang had an impression of her at the time.

Combined with what she said about the "beauty supplies company" and the loss of contact, she was basically certain.

This person is probably the original owner’s biological mother.

Where did she go?

What did Shen Anguo do to her?

Is she still alive? Is her death true or false?

Shen Yuntang saved the photo and replied "OK".

Another piece of news was that Zhou Ying said there would be a party in a few days. Some of the celebrities and noble ladies in her circle had heard about the extraordinary perfume slapping Shen Yunhe in the face, and they really wanted to meet her.

Shen Yuntang also agreed.

Shen Yunhe has been living a miserable life since being kicked out of the exhibition.

Several of her friends were also embarrassed by her and fell out with her on the spot. She could only hide at home and dared not answer her agent's phone calls. She also faced a huge amount of criticism and huge compensation - Anguo Daily Chemicals against Extraordinary Perfume.

She was almost on the verge of collapse from the overwhelming abuse she received these past two days, and Shen Anguo was still mad at her all day, asking her to bear part of the compensation. If she had to remove all products from the shelves, she would definitely mobilize her fans to buy other Anguo daily chemical products to make up for the losses.

Shen Yunhe was so angry that she laughed. As soon as she retorted, Shen Anguo scolded her: "If you hadn't been so nosy and plagiarized other people's perfume, would I have ended up in this situation today?"

"Is it just my fault?" Shen Yunhe couldn't believe it. "Do you think I forgot how excited you were when I gave it to you? Didn't you also have this idea that this batch of perfume could be made and put on the market? You didn't have to use the method I gave me! Now that you've enjoyed the benefits, you blame me?"

"How can you talk like that? You're still talking back to your dad?" Shen Anguo was so angry that he couldn't help but blurt out, "If I hadn't endured all that hardship for so long, would you and your daughter be able to live the life you have now? If I hadn't supported you, would you be able to go to such a good school and become a star? I've invested my entire first half of my life to raise a thing like you?"

Shen Yunhe was almost crying with anger. Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly got a chill.

What did Shen Anguo say?

Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall? Where is the firewood you sleep on and where is the gall you taste?

I have put my entire first half of my life into this...

Shen Yunhe suddenly shuddered.

She is now at her wit's end. She can no longer continue in the entertainment industry. If something happens to her father, she will be really finished.

Shen Yunhe swallowed her saliva and said with a trembling heart, "Dad, tell me the truth."

"Did you open this company yourself?"

Shen Anguo's side suddenly became quiet for a while.

He suddenly showed signs of anger. "What kind of question are you asking? If I didn't open the car, who opened it?"

"What I mean is, have you ever set up a trap, used a word trap, etc., to take something from someone else?"

Shen Anguo paused for a moment, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.

Before he could even curse, Shen Yunhe seemed to suddenly gain confidence and said slowly, "I know a secret."

"Dad, did you do something to Shen Yuntang's mother?"

"How do I know? Shen Yuntang told me."

"Yes, she told me on the day of the exhibition that she knew that Anguo Daily Chemicals was not what you deserved, and she would do everything she could to pull you down and take Anguo Daily Chemicals back."

Shen Yunhe's voice gradually stopped trembling.

It had been several months since Shen Yuntang threatened to take back Anguo Daily Chemicals, but there had been no action. Even the perfume incident was an accident, and it didn't look like she had any real evidence in her hands.

Now she had no choice but to stir up Shen Anguo's hatred towards Shen Yuntang so that he would realize that she was on his side and that their common enemy was Shen Yuntang.

Now there is no place for her in the entertainment industry, and she needs her father's support to continue living a luxurious and extravagant life.

There is absolutely no way her father would give up all his years of hard work. Only if her father holds the power firmly in his hands can she retire from the entertainment industry and continue to live the life of a rich lady.

Only by striking first can you gain the upper hand.

Shen Yunhe noticed Shen Anguo's fear, and she calmed down instead.

"Dad, listen to me." Shen Yunhe said, "Let's think of a way to deal with Shen Yuntang first."
