I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot-Chapter 31

Why Would I Blame You?

Their eyes met for a second, and Shen Hanyu looked away coldly. It was as if looking at Sang Qianqian any longer would dirty his eyes.

Sang Qianqian had wanted to greet him, but seeing that he loathed her as much as before, she gave up her intentions.

She pulled Wen Xu along. “Wen Xu, let’s go.”

How could Wen Xu be willing to?

As long as he thought about how his Sister Qian hadn’t been able to study abroad because of the Shen family, he wanted to beat Shen Hanyu up.

“I’ve just left the country. I heard that the Shen family went bankrupt?”

Wen Xu said in a weird tone, “Alas, even the heavens can’t stand it if you slander others of doing such bad things.”

“Wen Xu!” Sang Qianqian wished she could cover his mouth. “Stop talking!”

“I just want to say it. Sister Qian, if it weren’t for the Shen family accusing Brother Minglang and Uncle Sang of being murderers, you wouldn’t have cancelled your studies abroad!”

Wen Xu got angry at the thought of this. “They caused the Sang family to suffer such a great loss. Sister Qian, how can they compensate for the big chance you lost?”

Shen Hanyu looked at Wen Xu coldly, not wanting to talk to him.

Wei Qinghua couldn’t help but sneer, “We’re talking nonsense? Suppose it wasn’t for your Sang family’s power and influence, bribing the police. If that was the case, how could Sang Minglang be released without charges?!”

“Then, am I being bribed to defend Sister Qian over this matter as well? I’ll sue you for slander if you continue to spout nonsense.” Wen Xu raised his eyebrows.

Wei Qinghua’s face darkened with anger at Wen Xu’s arrogant and conceited look. “Then go ahead and sue me. I’ll be waiting!”

Wen Xu wanted to say something else, but Sang Qianqian tiptoed and covered his mouth tightly.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Wei. Wen Xu is young and reckless. Please be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart.”

Sang Qianqian bowed to Wei Qinghua, then pulled Wen Xu along and ran off.

For a moment, Wei Qinghua didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m also muddleheaded. I’m already forty or fifty years old; why am I arguing with a little kid?”

Shen Hanyu’s expression was unreadable as he followed the line of people.

After a long while, he said quietly, “Uncle Wei, after this business trip, you should resign and find a new job. After that, I’ll take care of the company’s matters.”

The Shen family’s chip had been sold to the Han family’s Kexing Group not long ago. The proceeds would be enough to pay off the 300 million debt the Shen family’s company owed.

The Shen family’s company, which had once risen with bright prospects, was like a shooting star that fell from the sky in the blink of an eye.

Shen Hanyu had dismissed all the employees in the Shen family’s company. Only Wei Qinghua insisted on staying, saying he’d only leave after everything in the company was settled.

This time, their business trip was to settle several cooperative companies’ debts in other provinces.

“A little while won’t make a difference.”

Wei Qinghua had once received Shen Shaofeng’s kindness, and now that the Shen family was in trouble, he wanted to help as much as possible.

He sighed. “President Shen, are you not planning to start again? As long as President Shen gives me the order, I’m willing to work for you even if I don’t get a salary...”

Wei Qinghua had been with Shen Shaofeng since the company was founded and watched how hard Shen Shaofeng worked with his own two eyes. When the company had finally developed a chip and had a little impact on society, it went bankrupt in the blink of an eye. No matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t accept it.

Shen Hanyu’s eyes were deep and unreadable. “I’ll contact Uncle Wei if there’s a need to.”

Since they’d started working with the Han family’s Kexing Group, the Shen family’s company suffered one negative event after another.

After the company’s image hit rock bottom, the factory caught fire, and the Han family withdrew their capital. The withdrawal of capital became the last straw that crushed the Shen family.

Everything seemed to be an accident, and nothing was suspicious. However, no matter how he looked at it, everything was strange.

It was like a trap set up long ago, waiting for the Shen family to jump into it.

Shen Hanyu didn’t believe Han Shangrong had nothing to do with the Shen family’s bankruptcy.

Speaking of which, it was all for the chip. Compared to Han Shangrong, the Sang family’s planning of the car accident and murder was really too stupid to be true.

Not only did Han Shangrong make the Shen family hand over the chip willingly, but he was also able to escape unscathed. In the end, he’d killed someone without spilling blood. As much as he hated to say it, this was a brilliant move.

The evidence between the Sang family and the car accident still needed to be investigated.

However, Han Shangrong had pretended to be a smiling tiger and played the Shen family’s company in the palm of his hands. It was a sure thing.

There was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully.

...

“Sister Qian, why’d you stop me?”

Wen Xu really didn’t understand. “The Shen family is already in such dire straits, and you’re still afraid of offending Shen Hanyu?”

“It’s because they’ve become like this that we can’t hit them when they’re down.”

Sang Qianqian didn’t want to talk about Shen Hanyu. “By the way, why are you back so early?”

“Early? I’ve been gone for almost four months!”

Wen Xu was depressed. “Sister Qian, do you know how long I was waiting for you over there? I even finished my semester, but I still didn’t see you!”

Sang Qianqian coughed. “As you know, so many things are going on at home. I can only go next year.”

Although she’d have to go through the application process again, she had no other choice.

“Then you’ll be my junior, and you’ll have to call me Senior when you see me.” Wen Xu boasted without shame. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Sang Qianqian said unhurriedly, “Then I’ll just call you Brother, okay?”

“Sure!” Wen Xu’s mouth moved faster than his brain.

“‘Sure’, my foot.” Sang Qianqian raised her hand and smacked Wen Xu’s head.

Wen Xu was speechless.

I was just kidding, okay?

...

A group of friends welcomed Wen Xu’s return.

Han Tianyi enthusiastically arranged for the gathering to be held in a small bar on the first floor of the Shengshi Club.

It had a door that separated the guests in the wine hall. There was a garden facing the street in the small courtyard, which was very elegant and quiet.

Han Tianyi had invited many of his mutual friends and former classmates, even Xia Sitong.

Wen Xu was disappointed. He lowered his voice and asked, “Why’d you invite her here?”

“Didn’t Qianqian stand up for her last time?”

Han Tianyi was a little confused. “I thought you two were close.”

“Can’t you use that brain of yours?”

Wen Xu gritted his teeth. “Don’t you know how big of a stir her father caused when he died in a car accident? Sister Qian’s family has been greatly affected because of this, yet you still invited her here!”

“I know about the accident, but didn’t the police already announce the results? It has nothing to do with the Sang family.”

Han Tianyi didn’t mind. “Besides, my father and Uncle Sang aren’t on good terms, but I’m still good friends with Qianqian.”

“Xia Sitong is different from you.”

“She and Shen Hanyu both hate the Sang family to the core. She’s definitely up to no good!” Wen Xu said. He was impressed by Han Tianyi’s stupidity.

“Then what should I do? Should I chase her away?”

“What’re you saying? You’ve already invited her here. How can you kick her out now?”

Sang Qianqian stopped Han Tianyi and said calmly, “That’s enough, Tianyi. Don’t bother about this anymore. Instead, you should go and play.”

Han Tianyi didn’t move. Then, after a while, he asked, “Qianqian, do you blame me for what happened?”

Sang Qianqian thought he’d discovered the secret behind the card, but her face remained calm. “Why would I blame you?”
