Chapter 1148 Because He Likes
Sheng Lichuan dotes on his youngest son, but he values his eldest son more.
His eldest son's marriage has always been a source of worry for him. As a tycoon who has been in the business world for so many years and is good at manipulating people's hearts, he cannot understand his son's attitude towards love.
Sheng Lichuan stopped trying to figure out his son's thoughts and simply asked directly, "I heard that there's a little celebrity with you. You've been together for so long, do you plan to marry him?"
The Sheng family has no prejudice against family background; the most important thing is that their son likes it.
Sheng Ting's cold white fingers tapped the teacup lightly, casually scraping off the foam on the tea. His movements were very smooth, and there was no pause between his words: "There are two situations in marriage, love or use. I don't love him, and I won't use him."
So I won't marry him.
Sheng Lichuan put down the teacup: "Don't you want to marry him and just keep him by your side?"
Sheng Ting remained silent.
Sheng Lichuan: "If there are suitable resources available, would you consider getting married?"
Sheng Ting smiled and said, "We can get married at any time, but not because of love."
Sheng Ting never knew what love was. No one taught him, and he didn't understand it.
If marriage can help him achieve his goals, he doesn't mind taking advantage of it.
He will not marry for love, but will end his single life for profit.
Sheng Lichuan frowned, disagreeing with his view on love.
"There are no irresponsible men in the Sheng family. Even if you don't love your partner, you must be absolutely loyal to your marriage."
Sheng Ting: "I will break up completely before getting married."
Sheng Lichuan sighed: "Think it over carefully and don't regret it."
There is no medicine for regret in the world. Once you make a decision, even if you are reluctant, it will only turn into regret.
Sheng Ting's eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were as firm as a rock when he made the decision. "Father, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Sheng Lichuan: "The daughter of the Qin family, her ideas coincide with yours. She doesn't want love, she only cares about profit. Finding a partner with the same goals as you will save you a lot of trouble."
Before Sheng Ting could answer, Sheng Lichuan stated his attitude: "You don't have to get married. The Sheng family doesn't lack the resources provided by the Qin family."
"Qin Gaoyue's uncle has already taken up his post in Jingdu. The resources he has will be of great help to the company's investment projects. It's not easy to advance a multi-billion dollar project, and even the slightest misstep can have a huge impact."
Sheng Ting said, "I want to be more cautious. Marrying Qin Gaoyue is equivalent to controlling the Qin family's resources. I have checked her, and her uncle should be her biological father, and he loves her very much."
In order to pursue his career, he gave his unmarried pregnant daughter to his sister for upbringing, saying that she was his uncle, but in fact she was his biological father.
Sheng Lichuan: "It seems you have a very comprehensive understanding."
Sheng Ting never fights a battle without confidence, so he naturally has to investigate the people around him thoroughly.
Sheng Lichuan: "Deal with the things outside and don't make them sad."
"He won't. He doesn't love me."
If you don’t love, you won’t be sad.
That’s what Sheng Ting thought.

Ye Zhi returned to the studio and was dragged to the office by Dong Yuanbin.
"Ye Zhi, you've really made it!"
Dong Yuanbin excitedly raised the document in his hand. "Boss Sheng said they'll set up a professional team for you and allocate a lot of resources to your future career. Don't you like singing? They've created a music variety show just for you, which will definitely allow you to shine on stage."
Ye Zhi: "Is this what Mr. Sheng meant?"
"Don't tell me you're pretending to disagree again."
Dong Yuanbin pinched his arm and shook it vigorously: "Wake up, this is not the time for you to be in love. Mr. Sheng is willing to make you famous, which proves that he values you. If you repeatedly refuse, it will seem ungrateful."
"I won't say no."
Ye Zhi thought of the rose last night. Sheng Ting picked it and gave it to him because he liked it.
He didn't want film and television resources, but Sheng Ting gave him music resources because he liked it.
Does the fact that she cares about his preferences prove that he has some weight in Sheng Ting's heart?
Having obtained such a huge resource, Ye Zhi wanted to thank Sheng Ting in person, but he did not receive a reply until three days later.
Sheng Ting's message was very brief: [See you in the evening]
There were only three words, but Ye Zhi looked at it as if he was reading a long article, holding his phone for a long time.
When Ye Zhi came out of the studio in the evening, he did not ask the driver to take him there, but drove to the villa by himself.
He brought a lot of ingredients and wanted to cook a meal to thank Sheng Ting.
In fact, I also have my own selfish motives. I want to have a real meal with Sheng Ting.
The last midnight snack was so rushed that he didn’t even have time to take a closer look at Sheng Ting while he ate.
Ye Zhi walked into the villa and put the ingredients into the kitchen.
He was about to cook when the door of the villa rang.
Ye Zhi looked over in surprise and found that Sheng Ting had returned.
It was much earlier than usual, but Sheng Ting was different today.
She didn't change her shoes at the entrance, nor did she signal him to come over, nor did she kiss him or hug him.
The uneasiness that arose in that moment made Ye Zhi's hands and feet start to feel cold.
The tall figure in his sight was getting closer and closer. Ye Zhi smelled the scent of Sheng Ting's cologne and truly felt that this person was right in front of him. Only then did his heart slowly calm down.
He is too sensitive!
If Sheng Ting lost interest in him, why would he come to see him?
"Mr. Sheng, you came back early today!"
Sheng Ting smiled and said, "There are things I want to tell you."
Ye Zhi looked at him seriously and waited for what to say next.
Sheng Ting's eyes fell on the sofa in the living room. Ye Zhi understood and followed him into the living room.
After Sheng Ting sat down, he placed the document bag in front of Ye Zhi: "This is something I prepared for you."
It was a very ordinary file bag, with a cord lock sealing the bag opening, so the contents inside could not be seen.
For some reason, Ye Zhi didn't want to watch it.
He tucked his fingers in and hesitated to open the bag.
Sheng Ting reminded him: "Open it and take a look. If you have any other ideas, you can tell me."
Ye Zhi's eyes were fixed on the file bag, and he slowly reached out to untie the rope.
A property deed, a bunch of car keys, a bunch of house keys, and a blank check.
Ye Zhi understood everything.
He tried hard to control his trembling fingers and slowly placed the things on the dimly lit coffee table.
"Mr. Sheng, what do you mean?"
He still asked, not because he didn't understand, but because he was unwilling to accept it.
Sheng Ting: "I'm getting married."
So, their relationship should end.
"Okay, okay..." Ye Zhi's lips trembled and he nodded mechanically.
He should have said "Congratulations", but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound even when he opened his mouth.
Sheng Ting noticed his reaction and said, "Dong Yuanbin should have told you about the professional team. You don't have to worry about resources. Sheng's company will not withdraw the resources given to you because of the change in our relationship."
Ye Zhi nodded randomly and tried hard to force a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng."
During these three days, Sheng Ting did not contact Ye Zhi because he was having trouble with compensation.
He felt that no matter how much compensation he received, it would never be enough, but this was all he could give.
Businessmen must have their own bottom line.
But Ye Zhi's reaction was somewhat unexpected. He seemed to have accepted his proposal, but also seemed to have lost a lot.
For the first time, Sheng Ting couldn't understand Ye Zhi. It was as if the Ye Zhi he knew was suddenly shattered today. The person in front of him was too unfamiliar.
"Ye Zhi, you can ask for anything you want."
Sheng Ting's tone was gentle, without any coercion or command.
How can a master be so gentlemanly when breaking up with his mistress?
Ye Zhi would rather he be a little cruel than be gentle at this last moment.
"Mr. Sheng, you've been very kind to me and given me a lot."
Ye Zhi felt that he should be satisfied, but he still greedily wanted more: "I have another request."
Sheng Ting: "You say."
"I bought some food and wanted to have a meal with you." Ye Zhi paused and said, "One last meal with you."
Sheng Ting frowned.
From the moment he appeared in the villa, his relationship with Ye Zhi came to an end.
He should have left quickly and decisively, but he took off his suit jacket under Ye Zhi's expectant gaze.
He agreed to stay, a decision that surprised even himself.
Ye Zhi went into the kitchen and quickly prepared three dishes and a soup.
As Ye Zhi set the table, he said, "You drove here, right? Then don't drink, eat more."
He sat down opposite Sheng Ting and used new cutlery to serve food to Sheng Ting: "Mr. Sheng, would you like to try my cooking?"
Sheng Ting ate the shrimp in the bowl and said, "It tastes great."
Ye Zhi smiled.
Sheng Ting noticed that this was the first smile he had on tonight.
Somehow, Sheng Ting thought of removing the roots of roses and making them into specimens, leaving only empty beauty.
Ye Zhi lowered his head to eat.
The last time he had dinner at the same table with Sheng Ting, he was so immersed in happiness that he didn't have time to look at Sheng Ting's face.
Now that he had the chance, he didn't dare to look again.
He was afraid that if he took one look at him, he would get entangled with Sheng Ting without any manners.
He didn't want this to happen, the last moments should be beautiful, right?
The meal was over. Even though Ye Zhi had deliberately eaten very slowly, Sheng Ting put down his chopsticks.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Sheng Ting picked up the suit jacket on the sofa, turned around and walked out of the villa door.
Ye Zhi wanted to remind him to change his shoes, but then he remembered that Sheng Ting had not taken off his shoes when he came in. He probably didn't want to stay with him for too long.
Sheng Ting wanted to end the battle quickly, just like the decisiveness when he was chosen in the first place.
Ye Zhi walked to the door, looked at Sheng Ting's back and said, "Mr. Sheng, goodbye!"
Sheng Ting didn't stop at all and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Zhi stood at the door for a while, then turned around silently and closed the door of the villa.
He returned to the restaurant, sat on a chair, and watched the person across from him finish the rest of his meal.
Wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.
Ye Zhi came to the living room, picked up the things Sheng Ting left on the table, and put them back into the file bag.
He walked up the stairs and opened the bedroom door.
The bedroom was very clean. The servant had cleaned it after he left that day, and there was no trace of his and Sheng Ting's affectionate relationship.
Only the rose in the vase on the bedside table proves that night really happened.
The rose had not yet withered, but he had left him.
Ye Zhi stood in the garden and took a last look at the magnificent villa under the lights.
The beauty here is like a beautiful dream. When you wake up, everything is over.
Ye Zhi turned around, and his thin figure disappeared into the night.
The bodyguard waited for Ye Zhi to leave and then opened the door of the villa. The file bag on the coffee table in the living room was still there, only the vase in the bedroom was empty.
Ye Zhi took the red rose away.
