"I think Miss Sheng is a smart woman, and she should know why I've come here."
Sheng Qian said calmly, "I really didn't know Miss Xie's purpose in coming."
Xie Linlang was taken aback, but she wasn't angry. She said, "I came here for Yan Shuze. He belongs to me. I hope Miss Sheng can understand my feelings for him."
These words amused Sheng Qian: "Miss Xie, I think you've come to the wrong person. There's nothing between me and Yan Shuze except for our enmity."
Are they blind?
Didn't you realize that Yan Shuze's possession of her wasn't the kind of possession he seemed to have?
Yan Shuze wanted to possess what was inside her head, not her as a person. You could say he wanted to possess her as a person, but the meaning of possession was different.
Yan Shuze's desire for profit was too direct, which led to misunderstandings among these people.
"Is that really what Miss Sheng thinks? But Yan Shuze might not think that way."
"Miss Xie, you're really funny. He has other ideas, so you come to me? What kind of logic is that?"
“I’m not joking, Miss Sheng. I hope you can avoid him. If possible, I don’t want you to be in Haicheng.” That was her purpose.
Sheng Qian found it even funnier.
Does this young lady really think the world revolves around her? That the entire city of Haicheng belongs to her?
Sheng Qian has encountered many oddballs along the way.
There are people with spoiled princess attitudes, but I've never seen anyone as righteous and assertive as Xie Linlang in kicking someone out of a city.
“I know the Xie family has such power,” after all, the Xie family still exists in later generations, “I just really want to know, did Haicheng prosper under the Xie family’s management? Even the president doesn’t have the power to drive it away, so what did Miss Xie rely on? The Xie family’s influence?”
“Yes,” Xie Linlang admitted without hesitation, “If you don’t want to suffer a complete defeat in Haicheng, you can stay here. If you know what’s good for you, I can grant you one request and give you more money.”
"I want the national treasury; can Miss Xie get it for me?"
Xie Linlang frowned. "Miss Sheng, I'm not joking with you."
Sheng Qian's expression hardened: "I'm not joking. Since you can set conditions, I can ask for the moon."
Xie Linlang looked at Sheng Qian with a sharp gaze, "I hope Miss Sheng won't regret this."
"Miss Xie, you're the one who'll regret this. The future of the Xie family is still uncertain, so Miss Xie, you'd better not push your luck too far."
"Yan Shuze can only be mine, and no one can take him away."
“No one is stealing your man, provided that he truly belongs to you,” Sheng Qian retorted without mincing words. “The first time we met, he clarified your relationship right there and then. I wonder if Miss Xie noticed that he didn’t even glance at you when you left.”
Xie Linlang's expression was quite unpleasant.
His eyes blazed with anger.
Just as she was about to lose control, she stopped herself at the last moment.
They actually held back?
That's quite something.
“Miss Sheng, then I wish you all the best in Haicheng,” he said sarcastically.
"Thanks!"
After testing the waters, Xie Linlang strode away.
Watching the people leave in a hurry, He Weiguo said with some worry, "We have another Xie family to deal with..."
Sheng Qian chuckled softly and asked, "Are you scared?"
He Weiguo shook his head. "We're not afraid, we're worried about your safety. I think this woman harbors hatred towards you, and you'll probably face a lot of trouble in the future."
"It's just women's troubles, these are nothing at all. The real trouble is the Ye family." Sheng Qian's appearance can be said to have taken on some of the risks for the Ye family, and Yan Shuze's intentions were directed at Sheng Qian herself.
That way, they won't pay much attention to the Ye family.
Sheng Qian tilted her head slightly, looking at the starry night sky.

The next day.
Sheng Qian then called Zhou Ran to discuss bringing skincare products to Haicheng.
"Lin Qiujing has now taken care of things over there and can come and replace me. I will bring people to Haicheng the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Ran also wants to expand this skincare product business.
As their business grew, they expanded beyond just skincare products and started selling other items as well.
But it's inseparable from beauty.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Qian inexplicably called Old Madam Ju.
When Madam Ju heard that Sheng Qian was in Haicheng, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I will book a plane ticket to go there tomorrow. It's quite a coincidence that I have a few old friends in Haicheng, so I'll take this opportunity to visit them."
"Madam Ju..."
"Now that you've all recognized each other, instead of calling me 'Old Madam,' you should call me 'Grandma'!"
Madam Ju's laughter was light and cheerful.
Sheng Qianshun called her "Grandma"!
Madam Ju was overjoyed to hear this.
"There's something I need to make clear to you. The situation in Haicheng is unstable right now, and you'll likely face a lot of danger every day if you come here," Sheng Qian reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ju smiled and said, "I've traveled to quite a few places over the years, and I'm familiar with Haicheng. My main research project was done there... Haicheng is like my second hometown."
As she spoke, Madam Ju's eyes dimmed.
That's where her daughter lost her life.
Sheng Qian noticed the change in her emotions and guessed something. "It would be better to have Uncle Ju come over."
According to this algorithm, Sheng Qian should now call Ju Baifeng her cousin.
“He’s going to go with us. We’ve wanted to go back to Haicheng for a long time. We’ve laid a foundation there in the past, so we won’t have to worry about finding a place to stay.”
