Chapter 688: 431 Request Denied and Counter-Threatened: Furiously Denounce the Vile Act (3 Updates)

In the café

Shen Shuci and Liang Wenzhong entered the café, and because the man was carrying bags full of luxury goods,

it was inevitable that they would attract a few extra glances.

"Nowadays in Beijing, there are so many rich people, with their hands full of luxury items," a man laughed. "Look

at those two who just cin, isn’t that the man from the Liang Group, President Liang? Why would he appear

here?"

"Carrying a handful of brand names, with a beautiful woman by his side."

Beijing is a place where dragons hide and tigers crouch. Although Liang Wenzhong wasn’t a particularly famous

figure in Beijing, he was still known by quite a few.

At this time, the person sitting opposite the man, upon hearing Liang Group, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow

and glance over, his colorless eyes narrowing slightly.

Why would she be with someone from the Liang Family?

"You're interested in gossip too, Group Leader Jiang?" the man laughed.

"Just taking a casual look."

That person was none other than Jiang Shiyi.

Left Bank Garden could be considered a location in the suburbs of Beijing. Speople who couldn't afford

houses within the inner rings purchased homes in the suburbs, and Jiang Shiyi was there today having arranged

to meet a colleague nearby to discuss sofficial business.

He knew that Shen Shuci lived there but since they weren't close, there was no need to disturb her. The reason

why someone from the Liang Family would catch his attention was because he had heard that the senior Liang

had gone to the old Jiang residence to give an apology.

Jiang Chengsi too had felt that the Liang Family's apology was just for show, and although it was a shthey

didn’t give face to his family, he had to consider his grandmother's feelings. Feeling annoyed at the bottom of

his heart, he complained a few words to Jiang Shiyi.

And, the reason for Liang Han'’s fight that day was said to be because his father took a young lover, so...

Could it... have something to do with Shen Shuci?

How did she cto know Liang Wenzhong?

Logically, they were two unrelated people and it wasn’t working hours at this time.

"Group Leader Jiang, | heard that the Liang Group is preparing to collaborate with the Jiang Family, is it true? Do

you have any insider information to share? If it's true, the Liang Group's stock will surely soar, and if | invest

now, | might make a fortune."

It was just a joke from the man, and Jiang Shiyi didn’t take it to heart, instead picking up his coffee and glancing

at the two people who had already found a seat not far away.

The two had found a secluded corner, with Liang Wenzhong even pulling out the chair for her, looking somewhat

eager to please.

Jiang Shiyi took a sip of his coffee and frowned slightly, pity that they were too far away to overhear the

conversation between the two...

Shen Shuci had not noticed the presence of acquaintances in the café at all, and at this moment, she took out a

black velvet box from her bag and pushed it towards Liang Wenzhong.

Which made the man’s face suddenly turn somewhat embarrassed.

"What are you doing?" Liang Wenzhong was smiling, but his heart was not quite at ease.

When he left that day, he had sneakily stuffed something into Shen Shuci’s bag. She hadn't contacted him

afterward, so he naturally assumed that Shen Shuci had accepted his kindness.

"It’s just strinkets not worth much, you can just wear them for fun. Although our relationship has changed,

you don’t need to be so clear-cut about such a small gift, right?"

"You clooking forbecause of that project with the Jiang Family, didn’t you?"

Direct and to the point.

Shen Shuci hadn’t known before, but tonight, while having dinner with Tang Wan, she had mentioned in passing

the Liang Family's visit to apologize and brought up the cooperation.

Jiang Zhenhuan was still hesitating and assessing, while the Liang Family had already started seeking

connections everywhere.

The speaker had no intention of influencing, but the listener had intent in mind, and Shen Shuci silently took

note. It turned out that the Liang Family was recently trying to woo the Jiang Family.

But those Jiang brothers, one was on a honeymoon abroad, one was studying chemical engineering and out of

worldly affairs, one was a motorbike enthusiast with a wayward nature, and another...

Was said to be in recovery, difficult to meet with.

They had targeted her, aiming to use her connection with Tang Wan.

Shen Shuci being so direct caught Liang Wenzhong off guard. They had crossed swords once, and he knew that if

he denied it, finding help from her again would likely be impossible. He gave an awkward smile, "I had no choice,

this project is too important for the company."

"The Jiang family has many options, but we're running out of them."

"If I hadn't been forced to, | wouldn't have cto you."

Since it had cto this, Liang Wenzhong didn’t bother to hide it any longer.

"I know that you were later adopted by the Shen Family, and even Jiang Jinsang’s wife has to address you as

‘auntie,’ he said earnestly. "I was thinking... if it’s possible, could you just help out a little? I'm not asking for

much, just for you to say something in front of Tang Wan or Jiang Jinsang would be good."

Shen Shuci listened to him finish his spiel with an extraordinarily serious look. Liang Wenzhong had thought that

by coming to her, he absolutely had a shot,

But all she did was stroke the coffee cup at her hand and looked at him with a smile:

"You wantto help..."

And then her tone shifted abruptly:

"Why should 1? What right do you have to ask for my help?"

Liang Wenzhong had been speaking with enthusiasm, but her retort was like a bucket of cold water poured over

his head.

"Don’t clooking forin the future, and don’t sendanything either. We agreed back then to have

nothing to do with each other, so please relay my exact words to your esteemed wife when you get back."

"She cto you too?" Liang Wenzhong was clearly unaware.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving." Shen Shuci got up to leave, and just as she was passing by him, he

grabbed her arm.

"Shen Shuci, I'm asking you politely right now, but if | tell the Shen Family or Tang Wan about your past..."

Liang Wenzhong had bought a ton of things and personally cto ask for her help, not receiving even a morsel

of respect, which naturally irked him.

Shen Shuci gave him a smile, shook off his hand, and instead took a pen and sticky note out of her bag and

wrote down a series of numbers to hand to him.

"What is this..." Liang Wenzhong frowned. She gave him a phone number?

"It’s Wanwan’s mobile number, feel free to contact her anytime. | don’t know how much she'll believe, but | can

guarantee, if she finds out that because I didn’t agree to your demands, you go to her making insinuations and

false accusations..."

"She'll only think that you are acting selfishly and despicably!"

"Your Liang Family is so concerned about saving face, but if this gets out, | won't care—what about your family’s

reputation then?"

"You..." Liang Wenzhong'’s face instantly turned ashen with rage.

Jiang Shiyi was quite a distance away and couldn’t hear what the two were saying, but he saw Shen Shuci

decisively walk away, her movements clean and sharp. From his angle, he could only see Liang Wenzhong's

back.

After a while, he also got up and left, forgetting to take the luxury items he had set aside. It wasn’t until a waiter

chased after him to hand over the items that his face turned iron blue, clearly having hit a wall.

This... seemed to be getting interesting.

Of course, Liang Wenzhong would not really go to the Shen Family elders or Tang Wan with any accusations, just

like Shen Shuci had said, because the Liang Family cared about their public image.

After Tang Wan got home, she leaned into Jiang Jinsang’s arms, and the two of them were watching a

documentary about pregnancy and parenting.

"Grandpa and Grandma are supposed to leave in a few days; I'm going to miss them a lot."

"Once the baby is a bit more stable, we can go overseas to visit them." Jiang Jinsang reached out to touch Tang

Wan'’s belly, "It's just that you'll have to endure shardships in the coming days."

"I think our baby is quite good, | haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Just snausea and retching when |

brush my teeth in the morning; he must be a well-behaved baby." Tang Wan stroked her belly.

The documentary was currently showcasing underwater births, said to lessen the pain of childbirth.

Jiang Jinsang squinted at the screen; as a man, it was always hard to imagine the pain of childbirth for a woman.

Jiang Jinsang had even specially consulted with Zhou Zhongging about how painful childbirth really was.

"I have a friend who has a labor pain simulation machine, you could go and experience it."

Later when Tang Wan was close to

giving birth, Jiang Jinsang actually

tried the machine, and even dragged

And then after that, someone used the excuse of feeling unwell to trick him onto the machine first...

Afterward... Qi Zeyan nearly killed Jiang Jinsang!

But that was a story for another time.

At the moment, Tang Wan was
