Bang--
The office door was slammed shut.
After the loud noise, Shu Chuanran remained seated in the leather chair, his eyelashes slightly lowered, motionless.
He only managed to lift his eyes to look at the office door when he heard his father's secretary knocking and speaking outside.
"Enter."
Placing the large stack of documents he was carrying on the desk, Secretary Lin respectfully said, "Young Master Chuanran, here are all the documents you requested."
"Are you sure it's all of them?" Shu Chuanran asked calmly, his expression hardening.
"Yes, the finance department has been completely emptied out, young master. Do you want to see all of this?"
"Okay." Nodding, Shu Chuanran casually picked up a document without looking up and replied, "You can go out now. I'll call you if I need anything."
After waiting for his secretary to leave, Shu Chuanran lowered his head, glanced at a few pages, and then casually tossed the document aside.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with anger.
As her breathing became rapid, Shu Chuanran's mind flashed back to Zhang Youye's warning.
And the expression on his face when he spoke.
Except when he's facing Shu Yi, his expression is always that aloof and superior look.
Overbearing, disdainful of everything, and disdainful of debauchery.
It is an arrogant disregard for everyone.
Yes, undeniably.
He certainly has the ability to do so.
He is the renowned heir of the Jingzhou elite, and the noble bloodline flowing through his veins is his capital.
Therefore, he could easily possess everything: luxury cars, manors, the Zhang Group, and even women.
If Zhang Youye wanted, he could easily obtain this world with a flick of his finger.
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her pale lips, and unforgettable childhood memories seemed to awaken once again because of her anger.
In that instant, fragments of the past began to piece together before Shu Chuanran's eyes without restraint.
He barely managed to look at a few pages before his palm, which was resting on the table, clenched tightly involuntarily, the cracking sound of his knuckles as if his bones were being torn apart.
She didn't know when it started, but the fire of jealousy welling up from the bottom of her heart was about to burn Shu Chuanran to ashes.
He kept thinking that Zhang Youye had everything that he once had.
But why?
Why after he learned the truth?
Everyone around me seemed to have changed.
They no longer follow his lead, no longer give him sincere smiles, and no longer show him any goodwill.
They would even go to secluded corners and mock him as an unwanted bastard.
When exactly did it start?
And they.
And on what grounds should they do this?
Words are ultimately inadequate; he could not describe the overwhelming emotions surging in his mind.
They are like the omnipresent air; from some unknown time, they have seamlessly integrated into his body through the cracks in the broken walls.
Then.
In his unsuspecting timeline.
They gradually devoured his already broken heart.
Shu Chuanran couldn't sort out his thoughts, nor could he distinguish the unbearable emotions surging into his mind.
Is it jealousy that Zhang Youye was able to win Shuyi's heart, or envy of his noble lineage?
Having this indescribable feeling, it seems impossible to concentrate on handling company matters.
Shu Chuanran tried to calm his chaotic mind, then glanced at the ancient clock on the wall and thought for a moment.
He picked up his phone and called the young lady he wanted to have dinner with.
During the phone call, Shu Chuanran briefly arranged a dinner time with the other party, who readily agreed.
He handled everything as if nothing had happened.
He continued reading the documents in his hand.
