"First of all, Xia Sanghuan is not an irrelevant person. She's my girlfriend and will be the future young mistress of the Leng family."
"Secondly, I only made this appointment with the Shen family for the follow - up financial connection. I have no intention of collaborating with the Shen family on any business activities."
"Finally, I clearly remember that the person I made the appointment with was Miss Shen Siyuan, but it's you who showed up..."
"Can I consider this as a provocation from the Shen family to the Leng family?"
His voice grew deeper, like ice that would never melt for ten thousand years.
Shen Ruoyan visibly shivered.
"Please recognize your current situation, Miss Shen."
As he spoke, the man took the girl's hand beside him and walked towards the next room.
"We'll wait for you in the meeting room."
Watching his disappearing back, Shen Ruoyan stamped her foot in annoyance.
"What are you looking at!"
Noticing Yun Ye's gaze, she turned around and shouted at him.
Yun Ye didn't say much. He stepped out first and opened the door for her.
"After you, Miss Shen."
Although both the young master and he disliked this second young lady of the Shen family, she was still one of the people in power in the Shen family. It wouldn't be good to push her too hard.
...
"Are you angry?"
As soon as they entered the meeting room, Leng Chuanjin nervously held Xia Sanghuan's shoulders, bent down to look into her eyes, trying to read her emotions from her expression.
"Why would I be angry?"
The girl was a bit stunned.
"Because of Shen Ruoyan just now..."
The man couldn't continue. Although their relationship was just for show, he knew his little girlfriend minded this a lot. Otherwise, she wouldn't have moved out of his house so resolutely back then.
"It's okay."
She stroked his face to comfort him. When she saw Shen Ruoyan coming in from outside, she took a step back.
"We'll talk later."
After saying this, she turned around and wanted to go out, but the man grabbed her hand.
"Where are you going?"
"The content of your conversation is not suitable for me to hear."
"It is."
The man said stubbornly.
"You're already mine. How is it not suitable?"
So when Shen Ruoyan pushed open the door of the meeting room, the first thing she saw was the two of them tugging at each other. Her eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and then she walked in on her high - heels.
She casually sat down in a chair and slapped the file on the table heavily.
"Brother Chuanjin, can we start?"
If you listened carefully, you could detect the jealousy almost overflowing from her voice.
Xia Sanghuan had no choice but to sit beside Leng Chuanjin as he wished.
"These are the recent financial revenues and expenditures of the Xie family."
Shen Ruoyan pushed the file in front of the man.
"But these are only what can be found on the surface. The specific flow of funds is impossible to trace."
The man took the file and glanced at it.
"I see."
He nodded to Yun Ye, who had been waiting beside him.
Yun Ye understood and stepped forward, saying to Shen Ruoyan,
"The compensation from the Xie family to the Leng, Fu, and Shen families has been fully summarized. For the part belonging to the Shen family, I'll transfer it to the account provided by Miss Shen this afternoon. Please sign this agreement. Otherwise, the funds won't be approved."
As he spoke, he took out the prepared agreement.
"The rest..."
"I'll contact Miss Shen Siyuan to finalize the rest of the relevant matters. Miss Shen Ruoyan can leave here after signing the agreement."
Leng Chuanjin continued from where his subordinate left off.
"Brother Chuanjin, what do you mean?"
"Do you think I'm unworthy to communicate with you?"
The fake smile on Shen Ruoyan's face could no longer be maintained.
"I just want to talk about this with the real person in charge of the Shen family. I have no intention of making things difficult for Miss Shen."
The man stood up and looked down at her.
The woman felt numb on her scalp under his sharp gaze. If he had just given her a warning before, this time he was telling her that she wasn't qualified to talk to him here.
Shen Ruoyan bit her lower lip and resignedly signed her name on the agreement.
Yun Ye took back the agreement. After making sure it was correct, he nodded to her.
"Let me see you out, Miss Shen."
"No need!"
The woman stood up, grabbed her handbag, and stormed out of the meeting room. The high - heels on her feet made a loud "thud" sound, as if she was going to break the floor.
"Is this really okay?"
Xia Sanghuan frowned and looked at the cold - faced man.
"What's the problem?"
He lowered his head and looked at her gently.
"They disrespected me first. Why should I give her face?"
"Moreover..."
He bent down and whispered in her ear,
"She dared to openly provoke the young mistress of the Leng family in front of me. If I don't teach her a lesson, she might even fly to the sky."
And this sentence happened to be heard clearly by Yun Ye who came back to deliver the documents.
That's why the young master seemed so irritable early this morning. Although Shen Ruoyan was the apparent head of the Shen family on the surface, everyone knew that Shen Ruoyan and Shen Siyuan co - managed the Shen family. So it was not inappropriate for Shen Ruoyan to replace her sister this time. Leng Shao's attitude towards her was probably because of her rude remarks to Miss Xia.
...
"What's wrong? So angry?"
Shen Siyuan was quite surprised to see Shen Ruoyan come back so early. This girl was still spraying perfume on herself two hours ago and vowed that Leng Chuanjin would definitely not be able to resist her today. But in the end, she came back dejectedly so soon.
She was aware of the situation, but she also knew she couldn't persuade her younger sister - this younger sister who had fallen in love with Leng Chuanjin at first sight when she saw him as a child.
Facing her sister's question, Shen Ruoyan didn't answer. Instead, she threw a copy of the agreement into her sister's arms.
She kicked off her high - heels and walked upstairs bare - footed without saying a word. The sound of the door closing could even be heard on the first floor.
Shen Siyuan sighed and looked at the agreement in her hand again, roughly understanding what was going on.
Most likely, her younger sister had done something to Leng Chuanjin, but he didn't buy it at all. And all she brought back was just an agreement, which meant that the two of them didn't discuss anything substantial.
In the end, she still had to step in herself. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.
To show her sincerity, she took out her phone and called Leng Chuanjin.
"Mr. Leng, do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to..."
"No."
The sound of a steering wheel turning came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm going shopping with my girlfriend this afternoon. Let's talk in a few days."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without mercy.
