Shen Youjin slowly came to a stop, her gaze turning sharp.
That was Shen Tianzhen's voice. It really was like enemies were destined to meet.
"Gu Zhiyuan is a businessman. Even if you go independent and start your own company now, you still can't match the Gu family's century - old family business. He wants a well - matched partner. Tianzhen, just let it go! That Young Master Wen I saw the other day seems quite nice!"
A middle - aged woman's voice rang out. Shen Youjin would never forget this voice even in her dreams. It was Yin He!
"But Mom, Shen Youjin can be with Gu Zhiyuan. Why can't I?" Shen Tianzhen was very indignant. "She just relies on her face. As long as she's gone, I'll definitely have a chance."
"Tianzhen, you brought your younger brother out for a nice meal. Why are you talking about these things?" Yin He seemed to have run out of patience, and her voice turned icy. "Instead of wasting your time on this, you'd better manage your figure. You've gained weight in just a few days!"
"Mom! I've only gained one jin!" Shen Tianzhen protested, then continued, "Shen Youjin is about to open her studio. Are you just going to watch her open it like this?"
"So what if she opens it? That bitch built the company so big back then, but in the end, she lost everything, didn't she?" Yin He paused for a moment, then sneered. "Just wait! Shen Youjin's end will only be worse than her mother's!"
Listening to this, Shen Youjin's fingers clenched into fists.
Yin He was involved in the bankruptcy of her mother's company. One day, she would uproot the Shen family and make them spit out all the wealth related to her mother that the Shen family had swallowed back then!
"Mom, I really like that seaside villa. Could you ask Dad for some money so I can bid for it?"
Shen Qilin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Shen Youjin's nerves instantly tightened.
"Isn't the 200 - square - meter apartment your dad bought for you big enough for you to live in?" Although Yin He's tone was scolding, there was still a hint of doting in it, which was something she never showed to Shen Tianzhen. "That seaside villa costs at least 50 million. What do you want to buy it for?"
Hearing this, Shen Qilin laughed. "That villa was left by Shen Youjin's mother. As long as I buy it, even if I tear it down and rebuild it, Shen Youjin has no say in it! I want to see if she'll be sad then. I'll make her kneel and beg me!"
That day, Ling Qiuqiu had beaten him so badly that he didn't dare to go home for several days. Then, Fu Qingye had crippled Fang Xiaoguo's hands.
As soon as he came back, he had lost face one after another. He had no face in the capital at all. If he didn't regain some dignity, how could he keep his status?
"Your dad has been in a bad mood these days. Let's talk about it in a few days!" Yin He took out a card and put it on the table. "There's 2 million here. Take it first. Don't bother your dad!"
Shen Qilin naturally pocketed the card without noticing the changing look in Shen Tianzhen's eyes.
It was always so hard for her to get 2 million usually, but as soon as Shen Qilin came back, the family's money flowed into his pocket like water.
But she just couldn't say anything, because she knew it was useless to struggle.
No, she must marry Gu Zhiyuan. As long as she married him, her status in the family would be higher than Shen Qilin's!
By then, even if her parents were reluctant, with the support of the Gu family, one of the five great families, they would have to treat her well!
Thinking like this, Shen Tianzhen secretly made up her mind, and her eyes became determined.
Outside the door, Shen Youjin didn't want to listen anymore.
It seemed that she had to raise money quickly. No matter what, she couldn't let Shen Qilin succeed.
More than ten minutes later, when she returned to the private room, she had specifically asked the waiter to keep an eye on the situation of Shen Qilin's private room. Only after confirming that they had left did she leave with Ling Qiuqiu and the others.
When getting in the car, Shen Youjin looked at Ling Qiuqiu and said, "Remember to send me a message when you get home."
Ling Qiuqiu stood on the steps. The night wind blew her stray hairs, revealing her fair and beautiful face.
"I won't get lost." She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her white windbreaker. Her clear voice was carried far away by the wind. "Don't worry!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Shen Youjin's lips. "See you tomorrow."
Ling Qiuqiu nodded and watched her car drive away before getting into her own car.
During this period, because of work, the relationship between the two had become much more harmonious.
Shen Youjin was more rational and thoughtful than she was in college. The two communicated surprisingly well.
Even when they had different opinions on some things occasionally, Shen Youjin could always find a compromise.
She would even show her special kindness inadvertently, as if praying for her forgiveness, but every time she couldn't catch the evidence.
Shen Youjin had really grown up and started to do things flawlessly.
However, Ling Qiuqiu wasn't ready to forgive Shen Youjin yet. She couldn't forgive the past just for the present.
In the next few days, Shen Youjin was busy with the opening of the studio. She also calculated her property and found that she was still far from the price of that villa.
It wasn't impossible to borrow money from Fu Qingye, but for such a large amount, how could she repay him? She couldn't think of a way.
Until the day of the studio's opening, Shen Youjin originally thought that only her own people would come.
Unexpectedly, before the opening fireworks were set off, the little girl at the front desk shouted, "Holy shit, it's a Rolls - Royce!"
Shen Youjin, who was originally downstairs, looked out of the window and indeed saw a black Rolls - Royce Phantom parked at the door.
The next second, Fu Qingye's handsome figure in a black suit appeared in sight. With his aloof and cold aura, that mesmerizing face almost made Shen Youjin stumble.
Before she could recover, three more luxury cars appeared at the studio door.
Not only her, but even the studio employees gathered around, shocked and dumbfounded.
"Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ferrari. Why do rich people have such similar tastes?"
In the bright sunlight, Gu Zhiyuan, Bai Beichen, and Jiang Zeshen got out of their cars almost at the same time.
Gu Zhiyuan was wearing a white shirt with a newly - replaced pair of silver - framed glasses on his nose. The tassels on them were made of diamond - linked chains, looking expensive and luxurious.
Bai Beichen's black hair went well with his boyish face. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, looking just like the hero in a comic.
Jiang Zeshen stood beside him. His handsome features had a unique air of unruly, making it impossible to ignore his presence.
The four top - level handsome guys standing together had become the most eye - catching scenery on this street.
"Sister Youjin, you're really popular. Four of the five great families' young masters are here!"
The little girl at the front desk was even more excited than her, and her voice was trembling.
Only Shen Youjin was on the verge of a heart attack. Usually, when two of them met, it was like a showdown.
If the four of them met at this time, wouldn't her opening ceremony turn into a closing ceremony?
She slowly clenched her fingers. Whoever dared to cause trouble today, she would surely teach them a lesson!
