Chapter 17: The Swindler

  Shen Zihans footsteps slowed down, and Jiang Yunshu quickly caught up with him in a few strides.

  As Wen Ning walked closer, the smile on his face became clearer.

  Shen Zihan stopped in his tracks, and Jiang Yunshu also saw Wen Ning walking towards them from the front, nervously grasping his arm.

  "Ah Xi, today Wen Jie Jie is so beautiful."

  Shen Zhanhans eyes swept away, gazing emptily into the distance.

  Just then, Wen Nings body brushed past his side and walked straight to the back.

  "Qin Shao, sorry to trouble you to come pick me up." Wen Ning waved her hand at Qin Mo who had just entered the door.

  Jiang Yunshu turned her head and took a look, then let out a sigh of relief: "It turns out its for Qin Mo to see, he likes this kind of classical cheongsam beauty the most."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Yunshu raised her head and quietly observed Shen Sihans expression. Shen Sihans face was stiff for a moment, then a hint of disgust and contempt appeared on his face.

  ……

  In the corner of the banquet hall, Gu Bei Ci gazed at Wen Ning and Qin Mo leaving side by side. Xie Wan Wan stood on one side, saying with a sour tone: "Brother Bei Ci, do you know who that is? Thats the young master of the Qin family. Sister is really impressive, she just came back for a few days and already became Qin Shaos girlfriend."

  Xie Wanyan was so jealous that she couldnt bear it. After losing Gu Beici, Wen Ning actually hooked up with a rich guy like Qin Mo.

  But she glanced at the handsome and elegant Gu Bei Ci beside her, and her heart was excited again.

  Now everyone in the family knows that Wen Ni has a boyfriend, so the engagement naturally fell on her head.

  "Northern Brother, Im hungry. Can you take me to eat something?" Xie Wenyue coquettishly grasped Gu Beidis hand and said.

  "Sorry, I have something else to attend to, you go eat by yourself." Gu Bei Ci shook off her hand and quickly turned around to leave.

  Xie Wanyan was left out in the cold, feeling very resentful. Just then, she saw Xie Beiping walking out of the Gu familys study, and she quickly ran over to him.

  "Dad, how is it? Did you succeed in negotiating?"

  Xie Beipings face was as cold as frost, and she got into the car with a sigh after leaving the Gu family gate.

  Xie Wanwan grabbed the car door, "Dad, whats going on?"

  "Get on the bus, were going home." Xie Beiping said calmly.

  "Dad, whats going on? Wen Dou has already brought her boyfriend over, and both Gu Bei Ci and his mom have seen them. Wen Dou cant marry into the Gu family now."

  Xie Beiping recalled the flatbread he had just eaten in the study room, his stomach full of anger. "That bastard Gu Zong said that before I even opened my mouth, he changed the subject. I think the Gu family doesnt want to acknowledge this engagement at all."

  Just now in the study, Gu Zong not only did not acknowledge the marriage contract, but also cancelled several major projects that had been cooperating with Xies family.

  The reason is that Gu Nan Cheng has hooked up with Shen Si Hans line, the Gu family wants to develop a research project with Xing Si Group, all funds have been invested, and there is no liquidity to cooperate with Xie Shi for the time being.

  Xie Beiping suddenly felt a headache, he was eager to rush back to the company to check the specific losses, and had no patience to explain so much to Xie Yuanyuan, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

  Xie Wenni stood on the spot, furious and jumping with anger, she couldnt understand why things were going wrong everywhere.

  It must be Wen Ning this little villain who made trouble and told Gu Bei Ci something, otherwise the Gu family would not have breached the contract.

  Just then, her phone lit up.

  The ingredients of the pill have been analyzed.

  Xie Wennis eyes widened as she hastily dialed the phone number.

  ……

  The Gu familys engagement banquet was still going on, Shen Shihan sat bored in his seat, his gaze directed towards the stage, listening to the dull and tasteless speeches.

  He rarely attends such gatherings, although he has recently established a cooperative relationship with Gu Nanjing, but he is not familiar with the Gu family.

  But Jiang Yunshu and Gu Nanchengs fiancée Tang Shishi are friends, so he came with Jiang Yunshu today.

  At the request of his brother, Gu Bei Ci specially came to entertain Shen Si Han.

  Two people each had their own secrets, neither of whom exposed the other, pretending it was the first time they met, and after exchanging greetings in front of everyone, they didnt communicate further.

  The phone on the table vibrated, Shen Sihan glanced at it, and a voice call popped up on the screen with a yellow lemon avatar.

  Yesterday, Qin Mo took out Wen Nings WeChat and glanced at him, the profile picture was also this lemon.

  Gu Bei quickly picked up her phone and left her seat.

  Shen Zhan picked up the wine glass on the table and took a big gulp.

  Jiang Yunshu, who was standing beside them and saw that there were no other people around, leaned in and said, "Looking at their happy appearance, I also want to get married early. Ah Si, when are we going to get engaged?"

  "When were you thinking?"

  Jiang Yunshus face wore a happy and shy expression, "That depends on when you plan to propose to me, Ace."

  Just then, Shen Sicongs phone vibrated, and the chat group of three people including Qin Mochen and Cheng Jing popped up with a small red dot. Qin Mochen sent several messages in a row, extremely excited.

  Qin Mo: 【Ah ah ah, Ive struck gold! Shes really so interesting! 】

  Qin Mo: 【I just had a few drinks, I asked her to drive me home, guess who I ran into! 】

  Qin Mo: 【Shen Junhao! He said goodbye to me on the overpass, almost squeezing my car off the bridge.】

  Shen Junhao relied on the favor of Old Master Shen, and since he was young, he had been arrogant and lawless, looking down on everyone. Not only did he not get along with Shen Sihan, but he also had a deep-seated feud with Qin Mo and several other second-generation heirs.

  Shen Shihan suddenly woke up and refreshed his mind. His eyes stared at the phone, but Qin Mo, that little guy, was acting like he was deliberately opposing him, and there was no response for half a day.

  Shen Zhan was holding his phone in one hand and a wine glass in the other, taking sip after sip.

  Jiang Yunshu continued to ask: "A Si, when are you going to propose to me?"

  Qin Mo went online and posted a video.

  "Its coming," Shen Cihan replied, his fingers lightly tapping, opening the video.

  Wen Nings profile appeared on the screen, leaning against the black leather drivers seat, with both hands grasping the steering wheel, her expression calm and serene, like a splashed ink painting.

  The camera slowly turns to the outside of the car window, and the rapidly receding streetlights streak by like shooting stars. Shen Junhaos limited-edition Maybach supercar zooms up from behind, but only for a few seconds. The engine roars loudly, and the Maybach disappears in the rearview mirror. The camera sweeps across the speedometer, displaying numbers that would make any man scream.

  Qin Mo: "Did you see that? My 30 million Ferrari actually overtook Shen Junhaos 300 million Maybach! If I didnt record a video, you guys would definitely say Im bragging!"

  Qin Mo: "I see Shen Junhao still being arrogant in front of me every day."

  Lu Chengjing, who had been diving all along, was blown out: "This girl looks soft and weak, but drives so fiercely. Is she a racing driver?"

  "Ah Si? Are there any interesting videos on your phone? Let me take a look."

  Jiang Yunshu saw Shen Sihan staring at his phone and leaned over. Shen Sihan snapped back to reality and placed the phone on the table.

  "Just watching a scammer perform."

  "Swindler?"

  Shen Zihan picked up his wine glass again and drained the remaining red wine in one gulp.

  Not a scammer.

  Two years ago, the one who caused a car accident by crashing into him due to poor driving skills was Wen Ning. She is a swindler who weaves lies into every detail.
