Chapter 55 Sold Him
"Gu Lin, tell me, should I bring Wen Shuyi back?"
He is very confused right now.
He had never experienced anything like this, not even when facing thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Gu Lin didn't know whether Wen Shuyi's departure was because of Sheng Tingwang and Xia Yini's engagement, or something else.
"If she left because she was disappointed in you emotionally, you can tell her your reasons. I believe she is a reasonable person, and you might be able to reconcile. If it's something else..."
Sheng Tingwang lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "That night, I almost strangled her. She must have been scared..."
"What?"
Gu Lin slapped his thigh.
I think Sheng Tingwang has gone mad.
"You almost strangled her? No, what's going on? Domestic violence?"
"It wasn't domestic violence, it was just a moment of passion..." Sheng Tingwang said casually, taking a drag of his cigarette. "...She mentioned that my mother eloped with another man. You know, my mother has been my nightmare for so many years. I don't know where she heard it from, maybe from Li Jiangyan. Anyway, for me... it was something I couldn't process on the spot."
Gu Lin understood.
Sheng Tingwang's mother is someone that no one is allowed to mention.
Even his childhood friend.
This matter is also considered taboo.
"Since you want to be husband and wife with her, you should tell her about your family situation. If there are too many boundaries between husband and wife, the marriage cannot continue."
"Although your mother's matter is a thorn in your heart, so many years have passed, and you should learn to let go and forgive. Because of this, you even fought with Wen Shuyi. Even if she still loves you, her heart has turned cold."
Sheng Tingwang exhaled a grayish-white smoke.
His furrowed brows and eyes grew even deeper. "I shouldn't have, I know."
"Why don't we just let it go?" Gu Lin felt that the two of them were not suited to be together if their relationship had deteriorated to this point. "I think Xia Yini likes you quite a bit, so you should just stay with her."
Sheng Tingwang looked up at him, seemingly mockingly saying, "Then why haven't you found someone to marry all these years? What are you waiting for Ye Tang for? I think you two should just call it quits."
"Who said I was waiting for her?" Gu Lin retorted stubbornly.
Sheng Ting is arrogant and cold.
Gu Lin stretched his neck forward. "This is about you. Don't change the subject. You said Wen Shuyi is so prone to running away. Even if you find her again this time, she'll still run away when you two argue or have conflicts. What's the point of all this?"
"There was a reason she left."
Gu Lin: ...
have to.
This is already starting to make excuses for others.
He shouldn't be a bad guy anymore.
"Fine, fine, since you love her so much, go ahead and pursue her. I guarantee you'll be completely silent once you start. I don't think she has any feelings for you. If you're willing to suffer the pain of unrequited love, I can't stop you. Do as you please."
It's hard to reason with a damned devil.
Gu Lin stopped trying to persuade him.
Some hardships only count if you suffer them yourself.
Sheng Tingwang did not go to find Wen Shuyi immediately.
Her phone was still ringing.
She occasionally posts on her WeChat Moments.
They didn't block him either.
Little Dodo looks much happier.
He downloaded a photo of the mother and son and used it as his profile picture on WeChat Moments.
This action angered Xia Yini.
She felt that not only she had been insulted, but the Xia family had also become the subject of gossip within the industry.
Sheng Tingwang entered the company.
She stormed over to him, demanding an explanation. "What do you mean, Sheng Tingwang? Are you announcing to the whole world that the two people in these profile pictures are the two most important people in your life? And what about me? What am I, your engaged fiancée? A joke?"
Sheng Tingwang glanced indifferently at Xia Yini.
I don't intend to explain.
"Sheng Tingwang!" Xia Yini slammed her hand on his desk. "Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"What kind of explanation do you want?" He put down his pen and looked at her leisurely. "What kind of explanation would satisfy you? Tell me, and I'll tell you."
"Sheng Tingwang, are you trying to play dirty with me? Old Master Sheng isn't dead yet. If you want to anger him to death, just say so. I can go over there right now and tell him about you and Wen Shuyi, let him see how your adopted son repays his debt of gratitude."
Xia Yini is not as delicate as she appears on the surface.
in contrast.
She's a pretty tough person.
It's not a personality trait to suffer losses.
He's a bit simple-minded, but not stupid; he's even a little clever.
She knew how to manage and balance things, which is why she chose to get engaged to Sheng Tingwang.
"I heard your dad is retiring soon?" Sheng Tingwang said calmly.
Xia Yini's steps faltered as she turned around, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?"
"If your father wants to retire from his position peacefully, you'd better be peaceful too, understand?"
He gave her a look that said, "You know what I mean."
Xia Yini, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She didn't know much about her father's job, but she knew it was a very lucrative position.
Could it be that Sheng Tingwang has some kind of leverage over him?
He's already in business, so why does he still have the right to interfere in politics and politics?
Did she underestimate him?
Xia Yini wanted to go home and ask her first.
We'll make further plans.
She turned and left.
Sheng Tingwang's brows and eyes also darkened.
Zhang Lun walked in carrying a stack of documents.
"Third Master, I just checked Miss Wen's bank account. There is a deposit from Bincheng, amounting to about five or six hundred thousand, with the note indicating it was for a house sale. There is also a cash check acceptance for two million, issued by the Xia family. Please take a look."
Zhang Lun gave the receipt to Sheng Tingwang.
He was so angry he almost laughed.
"Zhang Lun, do you think I'm worth two million?"
Zhang Lun blinked. "Third Master, do you mean Miss Wen took two million and... sold you out?"
Sheng Jue smiled bitterly.
It's alright, not too little.
Zhang Lun understood. "Miss Xia is quite willing to spend money, but given your net worth, two million is a bit ridiculous."
"Where is she now? Have you found her?" Sheng Ting asked presumptuously.
Zhang Lun nodded. "They've gone to the grasslands. Do you want to go after them?"
"I'm not going."
All he needed to know was where she had taken Duoduo.
Zhang Lun put away the receipts and mentioned Old Master Sheng, "Third Master, Old Master Sheng was rushed to the emergency room last night. I asked the doctor, and he said his condition isn't good. Would you like to go and see him?"
"What did the doctor say?" Sheng Tingwang frowned.
"They say they might not make it through this time."
Sheng Tingwang felt a sudden swelling in his chest.
Grandpa Sheng raised him as if he were his own child.
He had a deep affection for this old man.
At this time, the Sheng family members should all be in the hospital. Sheng Zongjie is still in prison. The second branch of the family has always felt that the old man favors the first branch, and they are afraid that they will try to gain an advantage in the distribution of property before the old man passes away.
He didn't want to be a judge.
But the old man gave him a will to avoid any trouble at this time.
He has to show up.
We must uphold justice.
"Go to the hospital."
