She Asks for a Divorce Again-Chapter 186 - Unwilling

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Unwilling?
Han Manyin had arrived early and waited in the car downstairs at the company. She opened the passenger side door, got in, and saw the dashboard already arrayed with details for the business deal to be discussed.
Shen Group primarily operated in the service industry, and this time they were aiming to provide services for a suburban resort, where the other party wanted to entrust all aspects of service entirely to Shen Group. This resort had historically yielded the highest income in the city, and of course, Shen Jiangli valued this project very much.
If the deal could be closed, then Shen Group’s footing, transitioning from international to domestic grounds, would stabilize further.

It was evident to everyone that Shen had built such a substantial business relationship with Pei Family in a short time, which could significantly elevate Shen’s status.
Shen Heyu would undoubtedly value it even more.
Han Manyin started the car, heading to a restaurant that had been booked in advance. While waiting at a traffic light, she thought of something and asked Shen Heyu, “What is your relationship with President Shen?”
Shen Heyu looked up at her, knowing full well the intent behind the question, and said sternly, “You should ask President Shen about that. For me, everyone here is merely in a superior-subordinate relationship, and outside work, they are just slightly closer friends.”
Han Manyin sneered, “Really just friends? Why does he do so much for you?”
“You should ask him that, not me.”
Shen Heyu knew perfectly well that Han Manyin wouldn’t dare to ask Shen Jiangli directly, so she had targeted her instead.
Han Manyin said discontentedly, “You are just afraid to admit it. Your relationship with President Shen is clearly more than what it appears as mere friends and colleagues.”
Watching the red light turn to green in front of her, Shen Heyu didn’t think Han Manyin, a person fresh out of society, would possess any emotional management skills. Thinking her own life was more important, she chose to ignore her for the time being.
However, this reaction seemed like an admission to Han Manyin. Feeling cold inside, a torrent of hatred poured forth.
Half an hour later, the car reached their destination.
As soon as she got out, Han Manyin continued to press her, “You’re involved with President Shen, and on the other hand, you’re also ambiguously linked with Mr. Pei. Shen Heyu, are you shameless?”
Shen Heyu furrowed her brows and glanced at her, “Watch your words.”
“Am I wrong?” she retorted coldly, her gaze sharp as she stared at Shen Heyu as if she were a man-eating beast, “Are you not stringing along President Shen and Doctor Lu while remaining entangled with Pei Yansi?”
“If you really have no skeletons in your closet, why don’t you dare admit your relationship with President Shen? If there’s nothing between you and Pei Yansi, where has Bai Sheng’er gone, don’t you know about that?”
Shen Heyu was not particularly concerned about her previous remarks.
But hearing about Bai Sheng’er, she paused, indeed, since her daughter’s eyes had recovered, she seemed to have never seen her again.
Not to mention knowing her whereabouts, how could she know?
Seeing Shen Heyu’s bewildered expression, Han Manyin knew her guess was correct, and she intensified her tone, “You really are despicable! Evil Spirit, Bai Sheng’er has never wronged you, and yet you treat her like this, not even caring about the outcome. Aren’t you afraid of ghosts knocking at your door at night?”
‘Slap!’
Her words had barely faded when the sound of a slap echoed through the underground parking lot.
Shen Heyu raised her hand and fiercely delivered a slap to Han Manyin’s face.
Han Manyin couldn’t believe that Shen Heyu dared to hit her, now that she was Shen Jiangli’s woman, with everyone in the company treating her with utmost respect and courtesy.
She covered her swollen face, which had been hit by Shen Heyu, and said in disbelief, “You hit me in a fit of fury?”
“It wasn’t out of fury, you deserved it. I’m defending my own reputation,” Shen Heyu’s voice was cold and clear. A chilling light passed through her beautiful brows and eyes, instilling layers of coldness. Just looking at her made Han Manyin feel terrified.
For a moment, her own momentum involuntarily waned.
But at the same time, her heart grew even more resentful.
She was clearly Shen Jiangli’s woman, and he was Shen Heyu’s boss; why should she still suffer? Was her presence by Shen Jiangli’s side merely limited to the bed?
Han Manyin knew—it was all because Shen Jiangli didn’t love her.
Her hatred towards Shen Heyu deepened, and so did her desire to control him.
As she contemplated how to secure her position by Shen Jiangli’s side and have him help her deal with Shen Heyu, she heard her say, “I didn’t say it because there was absolutely no relationship to acknowledge. You have no capability and are too afraid to question him directly; instead, you come here and make a scene.”
“Do you really think I’m so easy to bully?”
Shen Heyu’s gaze was ice-cold, fixedly locking onto her, “Bai Sheng’er’s whereabouts have nothing to do with me. And one last piece of advice for you, Shen Jiangli isn’t someone you can casually target. It’s best you cut your losses in time.”
“I won’t mix personal feelings with work, but if you continue to overstep, I won’t mind confronting you directly. Think carefully if you can really outmatch me.”
Hearing these words, Han Manyin covered her face, unable to speak.
She looked at Shen Heyu unwillingly, wishing she could tear her apart right there. She wasn’t like Shen Heyu, who had a man like Pei Yansi favoring her from behind.
She needed a backer to compete with her.
“Focus on your work.” Seeing her silent, Shen Heyu thought she had truly heeded her warning and coldly spoke before leaving.
Because of their delay in the underground parking lot, they made today’s business clients wait for a while.
They were ten minutes late.
When they arrived at the restaurant’s private room, the other party was already waiting.
This client was the owner of the resort, Shao You—a self-made man, young and daring, who had made his mark in real estate and rapidly established himself in the city with significant influence.
Shao You was sitting on a chair, saw Shen Heyu walk in, smiled and said in a tone that betrayed neither happiness nor anger, “Director Shen, is this the attitude your company maintains towards hosting clients?”
Aware of her tardiness—a major taboo in business—Shen Heyu hurried forward, smiling, “Sorry, we were delayed on the road.”
Shao You looked at Han Manyin who was following behind her.
He chuckled lightly, his eyes lacking warmth, and his gaze turned to Shen Heyu with a hint of amusement as he said, “Director Shen, you’re ten minutes late. How about a drink for each minute late, so ten drinks as a self-punishment?”
Shen Heyu frowned slightly; her tolerance for alcohol was very poor, barely enough to handle much drinking.
Noticing something, Shao You chuckled, “What, unwilling?”
