Chapter 42 [1, 2, 3 updates]

When Shen Yuntang arrived at the magazine, Editor-in-Chief Wang had already come down to greet her.

"Ms. Shen, our single-sample room is over here."

Shen Yuntang nodded.

After the editor took her in and sat her down, he carefully took out a plastic-wrapped photo from his bag and handed it to her.

"This is the original photo, take a look."

Shen Yuntang reached out and took it.

It was the one she sent her. Shen Yuntang looked at it for a moment, then she turned to the back and suddenly paused.

Editor-in-Chief Wang took a look and explained with a sigh: "This is Ms. Zhuo Mei's signature. She is really a perfect person. Even her handwriting is so beautiful."

"...She is very beautiful." Shen Yuntang paused and said, "She might be my mother."

Editor-in-Chief Wang was about to sit down when the legs of his chair made a harsh sound.

Seeing the sudden look of astonishment in Chief Editor Wang's eyes, Shen Yuntang said calmly, "Can you lend me the photos for a while?"

Editor-in-Chief Wang was still in shock, and it took him a long time to calm down. He nodded dully: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you give it to Miss Shen. This, this..."

Shen Yuntang thanked him and put it in his bag.

"This, Ms. Zhuo Mei is really Miss Shen's mother?" Editor-in-Chief Wang was still dazed, not reacting to what was going on.

Although she had this guess before, things in the world cannot be so coincidental after all, and there is no one who doesn't know his own mother.

I didn't expect it really exists.

Shen Yuntang nodded, "It's true that he opened a beauty products company. Even though it sounds disgusting, Shen Anguo is my father, and he took his Anguo daily chemicals from my mother."

Editor-in-Chief Wang was stunned.

She was distracted for a while before she could start the interview.

At the end of the interview, her expression became even weirder.

"Ms. Shen... I now feel that you two are indeed mother and daughter." Editor-in-Chief Wang murmured, "Your philosophies are so similar, they are completely of the same origin."

She paused, searched on her desk, and said, "I wonder if I can still find the interview with Ms. Zhuo Mei. If you can see it, you will be surprised."

Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

"Yes, especially the theory of taste balance and the picky requirements for perfume, which are exactly the same."

Editor-in-Chief Wang looked for the magazines as he spoke, and asked others to help him. It took him a while to find the old magazines that the magazine had stored away as souvenirs.

They flipped through the pages together for a long time before they found that issue.

After Shen Yuntang read the entire article at a glance, he gently closed the magazine and returned it to Editor-in-Chief Wang.

Editor-in-Chief Wang then asked cautiously, "You don't know where she is either?"

She shook her head.

Editor Wang sighed in disappointment. She was deeply impressed by Zhuo Mei and believed that if Zhuo Mei continued to run the business, she would definitely be a female entrepreneur who would sweep the world.

"But," Shen Yuntang suddenly said, "I think I might be able to find her."

Editor-in-Chief Wang raised his head in surprise.

Charles is having dinner with Xie Yunting.

He rubbed his hands expectantly as he watched Xie Yunting bring the dishes to the table, and asked with shining eyes, "Can you make crispy pork belly?"

Xie Yunting paused.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" He lowered his eyes, untied his apron, put it on, and sat down at the dining table. His movements were smooth and flowing, as if he had done it many times.

Charles picked up the chopsticks and said, "Miss Shen told me this. I've been craving this for a long time. I really want to go to China."

In order to avoid being tripped by tableware on the day he went to China, he had already started using chopsticks in a very professional manner, picking up food and putting it into his mouth, looking very enjoyable.

"Oh, it's delicious." He praised, "Your cooking skills are as good as any chef."

Xie Yunting smiled politely.

Charles said as he ate, "By the way, Xie, have you contacted Miss Shen recently?"

He also picked up the chopsticks, his face unchanged, and said, "Not recently."

"Oh, her career seems to be developing very smoothly." Charles sighed, "Finally, I have the opportunity to launch the Oriental Beauty series, which has fulfilled my wish for so many years."

"I don't know if she will come back again... I really want to visit her hometown."

Xie Yunting paused and was about to say something when Charles' phone rang with a new message.

He picked it up and took a look, his eyebrows raised in surprise, "I just mentioned Miss Shen and I got news from her. It's incredible."

He didn't pay attention to Xie Yunting's reaction and started chatting excitedly with his soulmate.

…

"What?!"

Charles held the phone in his hand, pushed the stool away and stood up.

He was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. It took him a long while before he heard Xie Yunting ask him, "What happened?"

Charles looked up and said blankly, "Wow, it's incredible."

"Miss Shen asked me who made the perfume series in the museum and whether there were any photos of her. She said..."

Charles was shocked, "She could be her mother."

Xie Yunting paused.

After a while, Charles hadn't found the photo yet, so Shen Yuntang sent it to him first: Do they look alike?

She attached an old photo.

Charles was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth. He kept calling God and replied to her: Yes, it's her, Zhuo Mei.

He was so shocked that he didn't even notice Xie Yunting's inappropriate silence. He was still mumbling absentmindedly: "How could this be? It turned out to be like this? My soulmate and my soulmate, turned out to be mother and daughter?"

"Oh my god, no wonder we hit it off right away. I thought Miss Shen was a very pretty oriental beauty, just like Zhuo Mei. I really can't tell their faces apart... I'm sorry, are they the only ones who look like this?"

Seeing Charles sitting there in a daze, still immersed in the shocking news, Xie Yunting gently squeezed his hand.

Finally, he said, "What else did Miss Shen ask you? Maybe I can help her."

Charles came back to his senses and said, "She asked me if I knew where Zhuo Mei was."

"…To be honest, I want to know too."

Xie Yunting was silent for a while, finally smiled and nodded slightly.

After Shen Yuntang and Charles checked their evidence, they confirmed that Zhuo Mei was the original owner's biological mother.

And after her "death", she appeared in front of Charles.

What's even stranger is.

The original owner's "biological mother" had almost the same ideas and almost the same works as the only perfume master in reality who could meet her requirements.

Shen Yuntang once again began to doubt the authenticity of his experience in the book.

The last time she had this doubt was when she first came in and discovered that it was her own body.

Xie Yunting, who is extremely similar to Shen Zhizhe, and Zhuo Mei, who is extremely similar to the master, also have similar family backgrounds. She and the original owner both have stepmothers and stepsisters, as well as a petty ex-fiancé.

It’s just that the ex-fiancé in real life was dealt with by Shen Zhizhe, while the ex-fiancé in the book world disappeared after being driven out of the Huo’s house.

What is the connection between these?

Shen Yuntang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Don't tell her it's due to amnesia or mental disorder, she is sure she is mentally fine.

What could be the reason?

What is the purpose of this mysterious system?

[Host, don't make wild guesses, you have indeed traveled through time and space in a book. ]

The system appeared again in a mysterious way.

Shen Yuntang was just about to call it to question it, but it went offline again and no matter how hard he called it, it wouldn't come back.

Shen Yuntang was very angry.

Because of her expression, Butler Li walked very carefully while watering the flowers, for fear of accidentally provoking her.

It was not until she went to attend the party hosted by Zhou Ying that her complexion looked a little better.

"Miss Shen, you're here!"

Zhou Ying held her hand and said, "Didn't you say that it's boring to go to Liujin Yeyan all the time? Look, let's change the place today. This one is not bad either."

She led her inside, drawing aside the curtain along the way.

This place is different from all the other clubs. It doesn't have any sense of extravagance and decadence. Instead, it is very simple and more like a teahouse.

On the walls along the way hung paintings by niche painters, as well as some calligraphy works and Go endgames, which made Shen Yuntang dream back to the scenes of meeting those suitors.

When she lifted the last bamboo curtain, she saw a small courtyard. Many people were already waiting for her there. Some had seen her before, some had not. When they saw her coming, they all stood up.

Shen Yuntang took a quick look and found that there were actually quite a few people.

Zhou Ying is indeed a master of communication.

"Miss Shen, seeing is believing!"

"I've heard about you from Zhou Ying a long time ago, and I finally meet you."

Everyone was polite and Shen Yuntang also greeted them.

After a while, she found that there was only one person sitting motionless in the yard. Occasionally, he looked at her with some contempt and hostility, and then quickly avoided her.

Shen Yuntang paused.

I don’t know what kind of lunatic I have run into again.

She didn't bother to pay attention to that person and started chatting with other people.

Yan Jinyao looked coldly at everyone surrounding Shen Yuntang and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

She was the one with the best family background among these people, and she was always surrounded and praised wherever she went. She didn't want to come today, but she heard that her sister-in-law was invited to a party, and Shen Yuntang was at the party, so she wanted to come and see what kind of role Shen Yuntang played.

She had heard of Shen Yuntang many times. At first, it was from Shen Yunhe, and later she always heard about her brother and sister-in-law. They also praised her for being a capable person who could make the extraordinary perfume so popular and get Charles' co-branding, which slapped Shen Yunhe in the face.

Only after hearing these words did Yan Jinyao realize what Shen Yunhe had done.

Although she was angry, she didn't particularly like the bottle of perfume. She just came here because she was unhappy to see her sister-in-law had it but she didn't. So after Shen Yunhe apologized to her and gave her a gift, she didn't bother to care about it. After all, it was Shen Yunhe's own fault for being slapped in the face.

But what made her uncomfortable was that Shen Yuntang actually obtained Charles' co-authorization.

She had no chance to get a bottle of Charles' perfume before, and not only did her sister-in-law get it before her, but now someone else has even got the authorization.

How could Yan Jinyao tolerate that she was not the best?

What's more, she has some special connection with Charles' family, and she can't accept that she is not the most special one.

That's why she had to come today to see who Shen Yuntang was and steal her limelight.

Wherever she is, no matter who the host is, they have to revolve around her.

But Yan Jinyao didn't expect that these people would not accept the challenge. Not only did they not support her, they also acted as if she didn't exist and all went to support Shen Yuntang.

She felt very uncomfortable.

But no one around noticed that she looked unhappy.

Only her sister-in-law looked over cautiously after a while and whispered, "Jinyao, what's wrong?"

Yan Jinyao sneered, lowered her eyes to look at the nails on her hands, and said nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just feel a little sorry for Miss Shen."

Her sister-in-law also broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that this ancestor would say something provocative, so she quickly whispered, "Don't lose your temper in this situation, little ancestor, please."

Yan Jinyao glanced at her and ignored him.

But Shen Yuntang heard it.

She thought this psychopath was quite interesting, and couldn't help but be a little interested. She raised her head and asked lazily, "What's the pity?"

Yan Jinyao looked innocent and said, "It might offend people if I said that, but since you asked, I can't help but answer. It's just a pity that a rich lady has to run a business by herself and lower her face to seek investment and authorization. I can't do it anyway, so I feel sorry for Miss Shen."

The yard suddenly fell silent.

Many people were stunned. They never thought that someone could have such low EQ and say such ridiculous words in such an occasion.

Her sister-in-law was almost mad at her, and quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Stop it, stop it, oh, what are you doing..."

Her sister-in-law was almost angry when she saw Yan Jinyao's stubborn attitude. She could only smile and say to Shen Yuntang, "I'm really sorry, Miss Shen. She is too young and doesn't understand. I'm sorry for offending you. I'll come to your house to apologize some other day."

She pulled Yan Jinyao and was about to leave, but Yan Jinyao shook her hand off, her face cold: "Do you have any right to control me?"

Shen Yuntang propped up his chin and watched the lunatic act.

After listening to their argument, she suddenly smiled.

"You're in your twenties and still young. Do you have to be eighty to grow a sensible brain?" She sighed.

Yan Jinyao didn't expect that she would dare to scold her so bluntly just because she was mocking her. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got angry, "Is there anyone as rude as you? Didn't your mother teach you not to scold people?"

"You are such an impolite person, do you still know what politeness is?" Shen Yuntang was surprised. "Don't most people with normal intelligence know that arguing in public is called tactless, and pointing fingers at others is asking for a beating? I saw that you didn't know, so I thought you were abnormal."

She paused, "I don't know if I can curse, it seems like you haven't received any normal education."

Seeing Yan Jinyao’s face turning blue with anger, the people around her kept silent as they didn’t want to get into trouble. They could only think in their hearts - Miss Shen is still the same Miss Shen, her fighting ability is really strong.

Zhou Ying had just come back from talking to the kitchen staff when she saw this situation. She was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

Shen Yuntang shook his head: "I often encounter things that I don't know what to do."

She stood up and said, "Aren't we going bowling? Let's go."

She didn't even look at Yan Jinyao, her back was more agile than anyone else's. Seeing this, others hurried to follow her. No one paid any attention to Yan Jinyao, and some even gave her indescribable looks.

"What is she so proud of!"

Yan Jinyao then angrily overturned the small table in front of her. Tea splashed everywhere, and she kept saying, "How proud is she of Charles' authorization? Am I wrong? Have you seen a few rich wives and daughters start their own businesses? The family is not without money, isn't it embarrassing to start from scratch?"

Her sister-in-law didn't know what to say. She regretted extremely that she had not gritted her teeth and stopped her from coming today. Now she had to face this situation and had offended Miss Shen.

She made up her mind and didn't want to flatter this little princess anymore. She said coldly: "There are still many people who do business on their own. Zhou Ying's own business is very big. It's just that you don't have many friends and you don't see them often."

Yan Jinyao was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her sister-in-law would dare to say that to her.

"Besides, Miss Shen did a great job. Who can get a joint brand with Charles? Even if it's ST, there's only one chance. Extraordinary Perfume is the first in China, which is amazing."

She took a deep breath and stood up, "I won't play with you anymore. You have to solve the problem yourself."

"What did you say? You told me she was amazing?" Yan Jinyao couldn't believe it, and even laughed ridiculously, "What did I say? What's my relationship with the Charles family? I'm still engaged to the ST president. Did I say I was amazing?"

Her sister-in-law wanted to punch her now, and couldn't help but sneered: "It's just the elders talking about matchmaking, you take it seriously, see if they agree?"

"She got herself connected with Charles on her own, but you can only get connected with him on some random engagement."

Her sister-in-law didn't want to bother with her at all, so she picked up her bag and left.

Yan Jinyao said angrily: "Come back!"

Watching the person walking further and further away, she angrily threw the things in her hand away, and the porcelain teacup fell on the place where her sister-in-law had just walked, breaking into pieces.

Yan Jinyao became angrier and angrier. She stood up and wanted to leave. But before she could leave, she was stopped. The waiter politely said, "Hello, our tea sets are all complete collections. If any are damaged, you will need to pay for it. What is the name of the courtyard you ordered?"

Yan Jinyao paused and said impatiently, "Zhou Ying."

"What's your number?"

Now she didn't know and got stuck.

Yan Jinyao suppressed her temper and said, "I'll pay for it. Swipe the card!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Each set of our tea sets is from the owner's personal collection. He needs to come and take a look before we can determine the specific value and compensation. But let me tell you the truth. Our tea room is almost unprofitable. It is mainly used to store the owner's personal collection. The value of a set of tea sets is probably over a million. You may need to be mentally prepared."

Yan Jinyao looked very unhappy.

Although she could afford to pay, she still felt bad that so much of her pocket money was taken away for just a tea set in a teahouse. Moreover, not only did she have to pay compensation, but she also had to wait for the boss to come over and question her, which made her even more dissatisfied.

She said impatiently, "Can't you take a picture and show it to him? Is this how you open a business when there are so many things going on?"

"It's like this, because you not only damaged a set of tea sets, but also damaged them maliciously, so our boss needs to deal with it personally." The waiter's smile was a little hard to hold back, "If we seriously investigate it, it may not be a matter of compensation."

Yan Jinyao sneered: "Are you threatening me? I should be grateful to you, right? Do you believe that you can't extort a penny from me?"

The waiter felt that he couldn't get through to this person no matter what he did. He was speechless for a moment and called directly: "Please tell the boss that this customer doesn't want to compensate, so the boss may need to handle it personally."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Yan Jinyao's angry face: "Please wait here for a moment. You can't leave for the time being."

Yan Jinyao had never been so humiliated before. With her powerful background, no one would dare to provoke her so tactlessly.

I don’t know how wealthy this teahouse owner is. He’s so tough. I might have to apologize to her when I see her later.

Yan Jinyao was no longer angry when she thought about it. Instead, she was in a mood to watch a good show and said, "Find a place for me to sit."

Waiter: “…”

He was really impressed. He had never seen such a shameless person.

Shen Yuntang and his friends had just finished playing bowling and were planning to go back to the teahouse for dinner. Before they could even leave the house, Zhou Ying received a call from the teahouse.

"Ah?" Zhou Ying was stunned. "The courtyard tea set we ordered is broken? Do we need compensation?"

She was even more stunned, "She still refuses to compensate?"

Zhou Ying looked at her phone and wondered, "Who's in the yard? We're all playing bowling next door?"

The waiter also said helplessly: "It's a lady named Yan."

Zhou Ying was speechless.

"Yan Jinyao?" She really wanted to curse but stopped herself. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I didn't even invite her. I don't know why she had the audacity to come by herself. She came and embarrassed herself. She has no brains and ruined my plan. Why doesn't she go see a doctor?"

She cursed and said, "I may have to go over and deal with this shameless idiot. The tea sets in this teahouse are very valuable. If she can't compensate for it, she won't ask me to pay for it for her, right? It's so unlucky."

Zhou Ying hurriedly apologized to them, and Shen Yuntang thought that this person was quite funny.

She hasn't seen this kind of psychopath since she left Shen Yunhe.

The others then slowly returned to the tea room, shocked by Yan Jinyao.

"Ms. Shen, do you know this psychopath?" someone came up to her and asked.

Shen Yuntang thought that there was someone who had the same opinion of her as she did. She turned around and saw that it was a quiet one among the ladies. However, she looked like she could spend a lot of money. As a fellow, she couldn't help but have a good impression of her.

Shen Yuntang retracted his gaze and said, "I don't know him."

"Then why is she going crazy for no apparent reason?" Ji Ruo was also puzzled, and sneered for a while, "I understand, this young lady is not willing to not be the center of the world again."

Ji Ruo and her had conflicts before, and she was very resentful. She kept talking to her all the way: "Last year, we went out to play tennis, and a handsome guy helped me because he saw that I didn't have good skills. She got very angry and insisted that I cheated? Wow, it's so funny. A group of friends playing for fun can improve their level. Isn't it just that she was unhappy because no one helped her?"

"With her annoying personality, how can anyone help her? It's good enough that they didn't punch her. She can't even speak a word. She's like a brainless person, and she still thinks she's so popular."

Ji Ruo complained all the way, and finally said: "She is so arrogant just because she has a messy engagement. I wonder where she will cry when she fails!"

It seems that Yan Jinyao has been brainless for a long time. Shen Yuntang deeply agrees with Ji Ruo's words.

However, before they could even enter the door, Ji Ruo stopped chattering and looked a little embarrassed.

Shen Yuntang followed her gaze and saw a car stop outside the teahouse and a man opened the door and got out.

She also paused. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance by chance, but she didn't plan to go up and say hello.

Ji Ruo said awkwardly: "Whoever comes, this is the one who has a verbal engagement with Yan Jinyao."

Shen Yuntang was surprised.

Xie Yunting is so busy, he has to juggle multiple roles! Not only does he have to help the heroine Wen Yanyan solve all the problems, but he also has to deal with a psychotic fiancée. However, according to tradition, it seems reasonable for the infatuated male second to have a wealthy fiancée, otherwise how can he create conflicts?

"Could he be here to help Yan Jinyao with her compensation?" Ji Ruo asked in confusion, "But I heard gossip that their relationship isn't that good. It's unclear whether it will work out or not. Why would he come all the way here to help her?"

Shen Yuntang didn't know either, but she wanted to watch the fun, so she pulled Ji Ruo and walked in quickly.

While Yan Jinyao was waiting for the boss to come, she had already lost her temper countless times. Sometimes she said that they were restricting her personal freedom without reason and she wanted to call the police. Sometimes she said that they were blackmailing her. Sometimes she said that the boss must be guilty if he didn't come yet.

The people in the teahouse were almost getting frustrated waiting, and finally they got a call saying the boss had arrived.

Everyone perked up and said quickly, "Go and bring the boss in quickly."

Zhou Ying also arrived. Looking at Yan Jinyao's expression, she knew that she must have caused some big trouble again. She looked so stubborn, as if she had done nothing wrong and it was just others who were making trouble for no reason. Zhou Ying's fists were clenched.

She asked the waiter with a bad look on her face: "How much is the total compensation for these tea sets?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am. We don't know either, because these are the boss's own private collection, and he uses them very carefully. If one or two were accidentally broken, it would be fine, but this time one or two sets were directly broken, and it was also intentional damage, so we can only wait for the boss to judge for himself."

Zhou Ying took a deep breath and said to Yan Jinyao, "If you can't afford the compensation, just call your family members over. Don't try to get your hands on me."

Yan Jinyao smiled and said, "Did I tell you to pay for it? You are really good at flattering yourself. At worst, I can ask my brother or my fiancé to pay for it. Who can't afford it?"

Zhou Ying really wanted to fight again.

At this moment, Yan Jinyao was stunned and said in a lost voice: "Xie Yunting?"

She looked surprised. "Why are you here? Did you see me on WeChat Moments? Really, it's not a big deal to make a special trip. I just broke a few cups, but this group of people insisted that they were antiques and wanted to detain me. Now this boss is still dragging his feet and hasn't come yet..."

Xie Yunting paused and said politely: "I am the boss here."

Yan Jinyao suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Ying hadn't expected such a reversal. She wanted to laugh out loud, but then she thought, since the boss knew Yan Jinyao, that meant the idiot didn't have to pay. How proud would she be then?

Zhou Ying's face looked unhappy again, and she said coldly: "I booked a courtyard and you turned it into this state, and you haven't compensated me yet."

Xie Yunting nodded to her and said, "Sorry, I will take care of it."

Yan Jinyao said "Ouch" and smiled: "Why apologize to her? Since this teahouse is yours, just arrange a new yard for them, so that they won't accuse us of being stingy."

Xie Yunting nodded: "Yes. So how do you plan to compensate for the damaged tea set?"

Yan Jinyao's smile froze in an instant before it could even expand.

Zhou Ying was stunned.

What kind of relationship do they have? Why does Yan Jinyao seem to be so familiar with him that she even regards herself as the owner? Why does this boss want her to pay compensation?

It seems that Yan Jinyao herself did not expect that others do not like her at all.

She looked stunned, as if Xie Yunting had gone crazy.

After a while, she stammered, "You are my fiancé, why should I pay compensation? Won't all these be mine from now on?"

Just as she said this, Shen Yuntang and his group came in.

They were also stunned.

What's going on? Is the owner of this teahouse also her fiancé?

This is not the funniest thing. The most outrageous thing is that her fiancé actually asked her for compensation?

Xie Yunting's expression remained unchanged, and he said gently: "I never knew that I still had such a relationship. I hope you won't slander me just to avoid compensation."

It’s hard to describe the silence of that moment.

Ji Ruo didn't expect this kind of scene. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

It turns out that Yan Jinyao's fiancé has no feelings for her at all! This time, her pretense has backfired!

Yan Jinyao's expression couldn't be described as ugly. It was the first time she saw someone embarrassed to this extent. Being humiliated by her fiancé in public and being accused of slandering him, how much must he dislike Yan Jinyao!

Ji Ruo suppressed her laughter and said, "Why don't you give her a discount since we are acquaintances after all? It's not easy for her to lose face like this."

Yan Jinyao's face changed. Just as she was about to turn around and scold her, she heard Xie Yunting say calmly, "These are two different things. Regardless of whether we know each other or not, I think it is only natural to compensate for the damaged items. I hope you don't waste my time for nothing."

Ji Ruo covered her mouth and chuckled.

Shen Yuntang felt embarrassed for her. He shook his head and sighed, saying, "Let's go. There's nothing interesting to see in this bustle."

Xie Yunting suddenly stopped moving.

Before Shen Yuntang left, he turned around and asked, "Miss Shen?"

He glanced at Yan Jinyao, his slightly frowned brows relaxed, and he asked gently: "Is she your friend?"

"If he's your friend, you don't have to pay compensation—"

"No." Shen Yuntang said decisively, even sincerely, "It's an enemy."

She added: “She also called me names.”

Yan Jinyao's face was already unbearable, and her voice changed, "Shen Yuntang? How do you know him?"

"We met through business." Shen Yuntang smiled at her.

She glanced at Yan Jinyao's face, which was a combination of disbelief, anger, and collapse, and turned her head and said, "It would be better to give us the largest yard as compensation."

She dragged Ji Ruo out for a long time before Ji Ruo reacted and was dumbfounded, "Fuck, you know Xie Yunting?"

She stopped and said, "You are very familiar with him? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Ji Ruo was obviously unable to hold back her laughter. "I am dying of laughter. Oh my god, there is such a coincidence. I feel bad for Yan Jinyao. Hahahaha. Oh my god, how could this happen? She thought she wouldn't have to pay compensation because he was her fiancé, but he turned out to be cold and unmoved and even despised her. She didn't expect that as soon as you showed up, he would say he was your friend and wouldn't pay compensation? She didn't expect you to stab her in the back."

"Doesn't she look down on you for doing business? You didn't expect that I met Xie Yunting through business! I'm so happy!"

Ji Ruo was about to laugh like crazy, when she suddenly heard Shen Yuntang say, "I feel great too."

She remained calm and said, "It was so nice to fuck her."

Xie Yunting, amazing!

The waiter took them to the largest courtyard in the teahouse and rearranged the tea sets. The others came over after watching the excitement and started to talk about Yan Jinyao's embarrassing moment.

When Zhou Ying came back, she couldn't help laughing. She laughed for a long time before she recounted what happened next to them in a fragmentary manner.

"You simply can't imagine how embarrassing it is for Yan Jinyao! The boss was so cruel. He asked her to pay two sets of compensation. She didn't even have enough money left. She even called her brother and got scolded. It turned out that her sister-in-law had already complained about it. I laughed my ass off."

"You didn't see how she was about to cry at the end. She even tried to make trouble and said that the boss was sorry for her. The boss directly kicked her out. I have never encountered such a funny thing in my life. The last time I encountered it was Shen Yunhe!"

Because of this joke, they all enjoyed the meal very much.

Friendship between people may not necessarily come from common hobbies, but it can definitely come from common enemies.

After dinner, when Zhou Ying was about to pay the bill, she heard that they didn’t need to buy the meal and the boss gave it to them as a free compensation.

Zhou Ying was stunned. "Is this boss so easy to talk to?"

She shook her head and was about to get up and leave with her sisters when she saw Shen Yuntang pausing for a moment while looking at his cell phone.

She looked up and said, "You guys go first, I have something to do, wait a minute."

Zhou Ying agreed in confusion.

After they all left, someone came to clean up the tea room. After a while, someone knocked politely on the door again.

The person who came in was Xie Yunting.

He nodded, sat down opposite Shen Yuntang, and watched her looking at him leisurely with her arms folded.

"Long time no see, Miss Shen." He smiled gently.

Shen Yuntang nodded, "It's been a long time since we last met, Boss Xie. Your home is quite nice."

Xie Yunting paused, turned around and looked outside the yard.

There are gushing springs and bamboo shade all over the ground.

He chuckled, took off his glasses and wiped them gently, lowered his head, and said in a gentle voice:

"As long as you like it."

Seeing him put his glasses back on, Shen Yuntang got straight to the point and asked, "So what do you want to talk about?"

Xie Yunting took his hands off the silver glasses frame and slowly placed them on the table, crossing them quietly as usual.

"I want to tell you something." He said slowly, "Shen Anguo and Shen Yunhe came to see me."

"They said they hoped I would notice this potential competitor of Bufan Fragrance as early as possible, otherwise it would pose a threat sooner or later."

Shen Yuntang couldn't help laughing.
