Yang Wan emerged from the bathroom with a green anti-acne facial mask on her face.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Shen Yuliang.
He let out a startled shout, which made her yelp in surprise as well.
"What's wrong with you! You didn't come back all night, and now you're shouting like this!"
Shen Yuliang nervously stroked his chest. "I haven't even asked you yet! Who are you trying to scare so early in the morning? My poor heart."
"You're not even half as good as Yu'er! This facial mask was brought back for me by Yu'er from the new product launch of A Hairui Cosmetics yesterday. I have to say, the gifts from big companies are really better than those niche brands!"
Yang Wan boasted proudly, showing off to her heart's content.
He looked at her in surprise. "Yu'er went to A Hairui's place yesterday?"
"Yeah, I just found out about it today."
She jerked her chin in the direction of the bedroom. "She just got back not long ago. I heard the new product launch lasted until the early morning. The poor girl must be exhausted."
Shen Yuliang gritted his teeth in anger. "She's really gotten too big for her britches! She didn't even tell me about such an important thing in advance! It landed me in the detention center!"
"Ah?"
Yang Wan was shocked. "What did you do to end up in the detention center?"
"We finally managed to get you bailed out by Si Ming. You can't cause any more trouble. Can't you be more careful?"
He took off his muddy shoes and threw them at the entrance. Then he slumped tiredly onto the sofa, let out a long sigh, and finally spoke.
"Guess who I saw yesterday?"
She turned on the TV without any interest. "I'm not interested."
"Your little affairs are not as interesting as my TV show."
Seeing Yang Wan still fuming and not having calmed down, Shen Yuliang gritted his teeth.
"You'll definitely be interested. I saw that Wen Jinrui driving a car yesterday, and my third daughter was sitting in the passenger seat!"
The words "third daughter" were like shards of glass hidden in his heart. As long as he didn't touch them, he didn't feel much pain.
But once he did, there would always be some hidden discomfort.
Yang Wan tried to cover up her embarrassment and kept changing channels with the remote control.
"Oh, really..."
Shen Yuliang rubbed his chin. "Have you ever met that Wen Jinrui?"
"I've seen her on TV."
"Don't you think that woman looks a lot like Ximan?"
Clatter. The remote control in Yang Wan's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
The shock in her eyes was palpable. "What are you talking nonsense about! Ximan has been dead for so long. Why bring this up!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but glance at the bedroom behind her.
"Yu'er and President Wen are on very good terms. Are you trying to make them suspicious and fall out because of this?"
Shen Yuliang pouted discontentedly. "I'm just discussing this with you. Why are you so excited? Don't you think so?"
"I'm Ximan's father. Don't you think I know what she looks like?"
At this point, although Yang Wan was angry, when she thought about it carefully, Wen Jinrui did bear a three or four - point resemblance to Shen Ximan.
But she quickly dismissed this thought.
"There are many people who look alike in this world! Look at me. Don't I look like the younger sister of that President Li from Juanyi? The eyes, the nose, and even the chin!"
Shen Yuliang rolled his eyes speechlessly. "They're all from the same plastic surgery clinic. How could they not look the same? She had the same places on her face done as you did."
Yang Wan felt a bit embarrassed. "Well, you also look a lot like that President Wang you argued with last time. You have the same bad temper!"
After much arguing, she finally won with her stubbornness.
Around noon, Shen Shiyu rubbed her eyes and came out.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Yang Wan smiled brightly. "I've already cooked for you. There's sweet and sour spare ribs, hibiscus tofu soup, and steamed oysters."
She happily sat down at the table and glanced at Shen Yuliang.
"Dad, how did you hurt your neck?"
"Humph, so you still remember you have a dad?"
Shen Shiyu looked at Yang Wan in confusion.
"Don't mind him. He's been acting crazy since early this morning."
Although she said so, she still thoughtfully scooped a bowl of soup for him.
"He's complaining that you didn't tell him you were going to the new product launch of A Hairui."
Only then did Shen Shiyu understand. She took a mouthful of rice.
"I didn't have time. Rui Rui suddenly informed me."
Moreover, Bo Siming had "tortured" her so much last night that even the slightest movement on the chair made her whole body ache.
Shen Yuliang rolled his eyes. "You're on such good terms with her?"
"Of course. We're good girlfriends."
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She trotted over and changed the TV channel.
The Yancheng Channel was just broadcasting the interview from yesterday.
Shen Shiyu said proudly, "See, Rui Rui and I are in the same frame!"
Shen Yuliang looked at the woman with short, sassy hair on the TV.
The familiar feeling in her eyebrows and eyes became stronger the more he looked, and she looked more and more alike.
Suddenly, the TV was turned off.
Yang Wan took a sip of soup calmly. "Just focus on your meal."
To be honest, she didn't want their hard - won life to be disrupted at all. They had finally escaped from that quagmire, and she didn't want to go through it all over again.
"Dad, transfer 30,000 yuan to me later. I want to buy a dress."
Shen Shiyu said casually.
"30,000 yuan? That's so expensive?" Shen Yuliang stared at her in surprise.
She looked at him suspiciously. "Is it expensive? You used to buy me dresses worth 100,000 yuan without even blinking an eye."
"Can it be the same as before? What do you need to buy it for?"
"Rui Rui is taking me to a celebration party at her villa in Lanshan tomorrow. I have to dress appropriately. All my old clothes are out of style."
"I don't have the money." Shen Yuliang rolled his eyes.
Yang Wan immediately pinched him. "Where did your money go?"
"The child wants to buy a dress. Just give it to her! Did you lose it all gambling?"
"You dare to ask? There's a whole cabinet of bags and shoes with the tags still on. Where do you think the money went? You don't know how to save at all."
He mumbled to himself, feeling aggrieved.
When he had a company and a villa, he never worried about such things.
It was all Shen Ximan's fault! She had ruined him like this.
She was simply a debt - collector! Even in death, she wouldn't let him live in peace.
"Didn't Siming say he would give us 300,000 yuan as living expenses every month?"
Shen Shiyu frowned and asked.
Shen Yuliang didn't want to lose face in front of his daughter, but he had no other choice. "I've already asked. He's been dragging it out."
"The bank requires his personal signature to withdraw the money."
"What about the second young master? Didn't you say An Ruo was being taken care of by him and you went to the company to ask for it?"
Yang Wan interjected at this moment.
"He gave me a card and said the company was having financial difficulties and asked me to wait a few days." Shen Yuliang looked worried.
She cursed dejectedly. "I think those two brothers have ulterior motives!"
"It's not even that much money, but they're holding it back."
After saying that, she suddenly turned her gaze to Shen Shiyu, who seemed indifferent. "Baby, do you think you can ask President Wen to lend us some money? Just to tide us over for now!"
