Quotes from passers-by in the domineering novel
Guan Shanyue replied to the text message in a serious tone: "Sorry, I don't plan to meet you." After replying the text message, Guan Shanyue threw the phone aside and said, "If there's nothing wrong with my health, why don't I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"
There is still a lot to come.
Shao Zizhuo thought for a moment: "Even if you're pretending, at least pretend to be sick for two days." He curled his lips, "The person who hurt you hasn't received the punishment he deserves yet."
That makes sense. Guan Shanyue fell back on the bed and said, "Then bring the computer over for me."
"Okay. I'll have Xiao Liu bring it over tomorrow."
the next day.
Guan Shanyue lay on the bed bored. She was tired of playing with her cell phone, and Assistant Liu had not brought the computer yet. She curled up in the quilt and snapped her fingers.
The ward was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and a young woman's voice sounded cheerful and attentive: "Mr. Li, Miss Guan is staying in this room."
The old woman's voice was kind and gentle: "Thank you, little girl."
The young woman was flattered: "You're welcome, it's my duty."
Guan Shanyue vigilantly pulled the quilt, covered himself tightly, and waited for the person to come.
The muffled sound of high heels indicated the whereabouts of the person, who walked closer and closer, and then stopped abruptly.
Guan Shanyue looked up and saw a white-haired old lady in a cheongsam appear before her. Her eyelids drooped, her face full of disdain as she asked condescendingly, "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for letting Wanwan go? What do you want? Name your price."
Shao Zizhuo's haunting grandmother. Guan Shanyue rolled her eyes, tilted her head, and leaned weakly against the pillow: "Grandma Shao, I don't understand what you are saying."
Guan Shanyue was caught off guard when a document was thrown at her. The other party's tone was cold: "Zizhuo sued Wanwan and the people who kidnapped you for your sake, and your attorney refused to agree to an out-of-court settlement."
Guan Shanyue turned over, and the document rolled around on the bed, clattering heavily to the ground. She pressed her forehead, feeling so weak that she felt like she would faint in the next second. "Since you also said that it was Shao Zizhuo who made the decision for me, Shao Zizhuo, what can I, a person too sick to get out of bed, do?"
Her fingers flew in the quilt. She clicked on Shao Zizhuo's profile picture and sent him a message: Your grandma is here. The family is in danger. Come back quickly.
Grandma Li sneered, "I've seen a lot of women like you. If you hadn't instigated her, would Zizhuo have run back to the old house and caused a scene, embarrassing Niuniu? Or if you hadn't been sowing discord, how could Wanwan, such a gentle person, have been forced to find someone to kidnap you?"
What does all this have to do with me? Guan Shanyue was speechless, almost overflowing. She pulled out the text messages she had sent to Lin Wan and showed them to Grandma Li from a distance: "First of all, it was your dear daughter-in-law Wanwan who asked me to go home with Shao Zizhuo."
Grandma Li looked intently at the screen of her mobile phone. A text message came from a familiar number, instructing Guan Shanyue to sow discord.
Grandma Li looked at Guan Shanyue in shock. Guan Shanyue didn't hide or avoid her gaze. Instead, she looked at Grandma Li with a sly smile on her lips, her eyes curved. "I was just following her ideas."
Wanwan is the perfect daughter-in-law. She's made so many sacrifices for this family, so why would she do something like this? Grandma Li stared at the text message suspiciously.
Guan Shanyue put away his phone and continued, "Secondly, your dear Wanwan didn't instruct the kidnappers to kidnap me, but rather to kidnap Yuan Wangshu."
"I'm just a girl from a small family, so the Shao family can naturally afford to offend me. But if the Yuan family knew that your daughter-in-law was offended by Guan Shanyue..." She looked at Grandma Li playfully.
Guan Shanyue paused and laughed like a fox: "Will the Yuan family still be so friendly?"
Speaking of Yuan Wangshu and the Yuan family, Grandma Li immediately came back to her senses. She subconsciously argued, "This has nothing to do with Yuan Wangshu. It's her fault that Wanwan had you kidnapped. Just say what you want. There's no need to talk about all this messed up cause and effect."
Guan Shanyue pretended to be weak and fell back. "Don't ask for too much. Just give me 5% of Shaw Brothers' shares and another 30 million, and forget about this matter. I can even help you persuade Shao Zizhuo not to sue your Wanwan."
You may not win the lawsuit, so you might as well take this opportunity to get something.
Grandma Li began to look at the hideous woman on the bed. She had relied on a face resembling Yuan Wangshu's to trick Zizhuo into a loop. She was greedy and evil, no match for her former grandson's wife, Yuan Wangshu! She closed her eyes regretfully, "No, this isn't worth that much money."
Grandma Li added, "Three million, no more."
Guan Shanyue neither agreed nor disagreed. He looked out the window without saying a word.
Grandma Li didn't say anything either, and the two of them confronted each other in silence.
Suddenly, Grandma Li’s phone rang. She looked up, glanced at Guan Shanyue, and walked outside to answer it.
The voice on the other end of the line was anxious: "Mr. Li, negative news about Mr. Lin has become a hot topic and has been spread across almost all new media platforms. Several shareholders and partners have called me to ask, what should I do?"
Grandma Li was puzzled. "You've been a general assistant for so many years. Do you still need me to remind you about something like this? Just ask the PR department to suppress the hype and find some explosive celebrity gossip. It will be suppressed in a few days. Is it worth calling me so anxiously?"
The person on the other end gasped. "The celebrity's explosive news has already been revealed, but it hasn't made it to the trending searches. We've contacted the heads of each app to have it removed, but their responses have been vague. We couldn't even contact two of them directly. Now all the trending searches are about Mr. Lin. We suspect there's someone behind this."
Just as Grandma Li was about to scold them for being useless, a voice suddenly came from behind: "There is indeed a pusher."
Grandma Li turned around and saw a man step out from the shadows. In the flickering light and expression, he was already in front of her: "I am the one who pushed her."
Grandma Li stared at Shao Zizhuo in disbelief: "What good will it do to Wanwan and the Shao family if you do this?"
Shao Zizhuo's eyes fell on the distance, his expressionless face gradually relaxed, and he pointed to the ground and said helplessly: "Shoes."
Guan Shanyue, who was caught, lowered her head, smiled, hooked her feet into the slippers and put them on, then retreated back into the room, leaving the space to them. This was not her problem in the first place. She was just an object affected, so naturally it was not her responsibility to solve it.
Grandma Li couldn't stand it any longer: "You ignored my words, didn't you?"
Shao Zizhuo thoughtfully poured her a glass of water and said, "I don't want any benefits. I just want Lin Wan to go to jail."
Shao Zizhuo's attitude was cold and hard. Grandma Li asked, "Is there no room for change?"
Shao Zizhuo shook his head slightly. "Even if she doesn't go to jail, public opinion will crush her. Today I just exposed some of her past affairs, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." He had a blank expression. "This is just the beginning."
This sudden change caught her off guard. Grandma Li pointed at Guan Shanyue and let out a long breath: "For this woman, you are going to do this, right?"
Shao Zizhuo lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Silence is better than words.
Grandma Li nodded, then was crushed by the silence and became furious. "Okay, okay, remember what happened today. Since you have this attitude, don't blame me for being rude."
Grandma Li pointed at Shao Zizhuo tremblingly and said, "From today on, the Shao family will cut ties with you. The Shao family will pretend that they don't have this grandson!"
Shao Zizhuo looked up indifferently. Over the years, the Shao family had maintained superficial peace. The private turmoil and undercurrents were all swallowed up under the guise of "harmony in the family brings prosperity", becoming the elephant in the room that no one saw.
Finally, the lake could no longer remain calm, and the waves surged, forming a man-eating whirlpool.
There was no need to hide it anymore. All the disagreements were exposed, laid out on the table, and became bargaining chips.
Shao Zizhuo raised the corner of his lips and said, "Goodbye."
Grandma Li became even angrier, her hands shaking so much she could barely hold the bag. She laughed in anger, "Just wait and see. Without Shao's, who do you think you are?"
The sound of high heels was chaotic and gradually faded away.
Shao Zizhuo deflated and fell on the sofa. After a long time, he raised his hands and covered his face.
At this moment, it doesn't seem as refreshing as imagined.
The world shattered into pieces of mirrors. One piece showed him stiffly welcoming his stepmother, another showed the night under the incandescent light of the police station. Pieces after pieces, they pieced together to form an incomplete him.
Suddenly a voice rang out: "Don't be sad, you still have me. Even if you lose the Shao family, you are still Shao Zizhuo."
Shao Zizhuo looked up and saw Guan Shanyue squatting beside the sofa, her eyes level with his, looking at him gently and firmly.
The broken mirror is mended, the fragments are glued together, and the world becomes a perfect circle.
He gently pulled her towards him and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
The hair prickled her neck, causing a slight tingle. A soft "I'm sorry" echoed in her ear. Guan Shanyue's heart trembled, and the deer locked in her heart leaped. Guan Shanyue hesitated for a moment, then gently stroked Shao Zizhuo's back: "What's there to be sorry about?"
"I'm sorry for getting you into an inexplicable family dispute, I'm sorry for letting you get kidnapped, and I'm sorry for not protecting you."
Guan Shanyue chuckled. "Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often bring misfortunes. You may not know this, but I was thinking of taking this opportunity to ask your grandmother for 5% of Shaw Brothers' shares and 30 million. If she had really given them to me, I could have saved myself a few years of hard work."
Shao Zizhuo let her go and chuckled softly, "Little money-grubber."
If she wants shares, then just give her some of Qinglian's shares. Let the lawyer handle the share transfer agreement another day and tell her then.
Shao Zizhuo himself didn't even realize how gentle his eyes were.
Guan Shanyue curled her lips and said, "Forget it. I'm going to stop dreaming and become the manager of the company I own 100% of."
Speaking of this... Shao Zizhuo pulled out a business card from his pocket: "This is a well-known manager in the industry who recently returned from abroad. There will be many problems in the early stages of a company. If you need anything, you can ask me or contact him."
Guan Shanyue took the gold-stamped white business card, on which was written the manager's name - Yair Yu - in flying handwriting.
