The manager came back empty-handed. âXinshu, we were wrong to assume that President Shen wouldnât take revenge on us. He went all out this time.â âThatâs impossible. Itâs a check. How could it be stopped?â
âBut thatâs the case. I know very well what President Shen meant when he gave you the money back then. If you behave yourself, you can receive the money using the check every month. But if youâ¦â
The manager didnât finish the rest.
However, Zhao Xinshu had already understood that she really had nothing now!
Because of the commotion on Weibo, Shen Mubei cut off the last bit of the relationship between them.
The resources he had promised previously were also lost because she slandered Qiao Weiyang on Weibo.
Shen Mubei had left her a way out, but she did not cherish it!
The manager said in a low voice, âI also heard that President Shen was the one who arranged for Zhang Xiâs half-siblings to be found. Itâs precisely because he knows that Zhang Xi was the one who instigated you to slander Xiao Qing. Itâs true that he canât directly bankrupt the huge Zhang family, but itâs not a problem for him to find some loopholes and let the Zhang family fall into internal strife and slowly go bankrupt.â
Zhao Xinshu felt dizzy.
It wasnât easy for her to sign under Zhang Xi, but Zhang Xi couldnât even protect herself now, which made her path narrower and narrower. The manager took out a stack of documents and placed it on the table.
âWhat do you mean by this?â Zhao Xinshu shouted in shock.
âXinshu, Iâm really sorry. I donât want to be implicated either. Iâm the backbone of my family. If I canât earn money to support my family, my family will collapse. Iâm sorry. Iâve sorted out all my work and placed the information here.â
With that, the manager turned around and left.
Zhao Xinshu fell into a chair.
In the Shen family.
Madam Shen placed a piece of drumstick in Xiao Qingâs bowl and said with a smile, âAh, Iâm finally relieved. I was wondering when a girlfriend like that had suddenly appeared.â
âEverything is fine, Aunt. Donât worry,â Xiao Qing said with a smile.
Zhao Xinshu was keeping a low profile now, and Zhang Xi couldnât even protect herself.
Shen Mubeiâs attitude on the internet was firm enough, so no one would be dumb enough to pick a fight.
âFortunately, everythingâs fine. Otherwise, I wouldâve beaten someone up.â Madam Shen raised her fist.
Shen Mubei continued to eat without blinking. Xiao Qing found it funny, and her mood improved.
After dinner, Madam Shen asked Xiao Qing to go to Shen Mubeiâs room. âIâm going to take a nap. Do whatever you want.â
She quickly dodged, leaving the two youths alone.
âMy mother is like that. Donât mind her.â
âI understand. Itâs okay.â
âGo to my room and take a nap. Iâll go to the study. I still have something to deal with.â Shen Mubei glanced at the time. âI have a multinational meeting to attend.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was not the first time Xiao Qing had entered his room. She walked in naturally.
His room was very big and empty. There were almost no decorations, and the overall style was very strong.
Xiao Qing was about to rest when someone knocked on the door.
She went over to open the door, and the servant said politely, âYoung Madamâ¦â âJust call me Xiao Qing.â
âYoung Master has instructed us to call you Young Madam, â the servant said with a smile. âWe think itâs good to call you that.â
âWhy are you looking for me?â
âYoung Master ordered us to come over this morning to clean up some miscellaneous items he didnât want.â
âOh, come in, then.â
The servant walked in and saw a large cardboard box. âThis is it,â she said.
She reached out to carry the box, and Xiao Qing went to help.
The two of them didnât exert the right amount of strength. The box collapsed, and a lot of things rolled out.
âIâm sorry, Young Madam. I didnât mean toâ¦â
âItâs okay. Just pick them up.â Xiao Qing helped her gather the things. When she saw the magazines and golf balls, she put them all into a cardboard box.
When she touched something in the box, she was a little suspicious. She turned to take a look and saw that they were letters.
Xiao Qing immediately thought of the letters Zhao Xinshu had written to Shen Mubei.
She knew it was rude to read other peopleâs letters, but she couldnât help being curious.
She reached out and took out the letters.
âYoung Madam, Young Master instructed me to toss these into a shredder and throw them away.â
âI want to keep these things for myself.â
The servant knew that she would definitely be the future young madam. Her words carried weight in this family. After thinking for a while, she did not mind.
âBut I donât want Shen Mubei to know that Iâm keeping these things. Donât tell him.â
âOkay, I wonât say anything,â the servant agreed.
Xiao Qing took out all the letters. Fortunately, she brought a huge bag today that could fit them.
After hiding all the letters, there was a noise at the door.
She felt a little guilty, and the smile on her face was exceptionally bright. âMubei, are you done?â
âArenât you resting yet?â Shen Mubei nodded. âThereâs not much to do. I let my assistant handle the meetinz.â
âI havenât rested yet.â Xiao Qing shook her head. Shen Mubeiâs eyes were clearly on her bag, and she couldnât help but look at it herself.
Shen Mubeiâs eyes were filled with interest, and Xiao Qing was even more flustered. âUm⦠Thisâ¦
âHuh?â Shen Mubei looked at her with a calm and affectionate gaze. It was reassuring.
Xiao Qing raised her head and kissed him on his thin lips.
There was a smile on Shen Mubeiâs face. Although he did not know what she was feeling guilty about, if this was the outcome, he was more than happy to let her be.
Even when Xiao Qing was pressed onto the soft bed, she did not realize what kind of fire she had provoked.
When she got home, Xiao Qing would have the chance to take out those letters and read them.
After Shen Mubei sent her home, he called the servant over. âHave you dealt with everything?â
âUhhâ¦â The servant had promised Xiao Qing not to mention this matter.
However, when it came to Shen Mubei, she really did not dare to lie. âYoung Madam kept those letters. She told me not to tell you, but I donât dare not to tell you. Young Master, I was wrong.â
Hearing this, Shen Mubei frowned slightly, and his face darkened.
However, since Xiao Qing was indeed curious about the contents of those letters and she had already taken them away, this was the only way.
âAlright, thatâs all.â
Hearing his words, the servant was about to leave. She felt as if she had been pardoned.
âWait a minute.â
The servant stopped, trembling.
âIn the future, do as Young Madam says. Only tell me if thereâs danger involved. â
The servant heaved a long sigh of relief. âGot it, Young Master.â
Xiao Qing opened one of the letters. She took a deep breath before reading it..
