"On the day Lu Linchuan and his son were buried, Lu Minghui took his mistress and illegitimate son back home."

"What, there is such a thing?!"

“Although the news was suppressed as soon as it was released, many pictures were still preserved.”

"I really didn't realize Lu Minghui was such a person."

The same conversation was heard in different corners.

Lu Minghui, Lu Jingci's uncle.

Shen Tang held a glass of red wine and listened quietly to the discussions around him.

The Lu family is so complicated, I wonder if Yangyang can handle it.

If Yangyang hadn't said that she would contact her after the matter was over, she would have called to ask.

While Shen Tang was thinking, several people noticed her and came over one after another.

"Ms. Shen is so young, but she has such good vision. It's really admirable."

"Shen Group is really a dark horse recently. People like us can only watch in the distance."

"Miss Shen, I wonder if you could do me the honor of having a drink with me. It would be like making a friend."

Those who can enter the upper class of Kyoto are all smart.

Shen Tang and Mrs. Lu obviously have a close relationship. With the Lu family backing them up, it won't take long for the Shen Group to rise.

They take advantage of the current situation to make friends with Shen Tang, which will only bring benefits and no harm.

Of course, it would be better if we could win it.

After all, Shen Tang is the only one left in the Shen family, and getting her is equivalent to getting the entire Shen Group.

There was no ripple in Shen Tang's heart, but he always had a calm and peaceful smile on his face and responded to the socializing calmly.

She had to make the Shen Group stronger as soon as possible so that it could help Yangyang when she needed it.

When Wang Ning followed Song Sili in, he noticed Shen Tang and the men around him whose purpose was almost written on their faces.

Tsk tsk, a white rabbit and a group of big bad wolves.

Song Sili obviously noticed Shen Tang as well. He narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at Wang Ning.

"Miss Shen's invitation?"

The main purpose of holding this banquet was to delay Xiao Yunze's departure, so the guests invited were all partners who were familiar to him and had a say.

And Shen Tang was obviously not among them.

"As expected of Mr. Song, you guessed it so quickly,"

After Wang Ning gave his unreserved praise, he began to explain.

"As you know, Mr. Qi wants to make amends to Miss Shen because of what happened before. I have no other choice but to use your banquet as an excuse to pay tribute to her."

She picked up two glasses of red wine, handed one to Song Sili, and held the other in front of her.

"Please be magnanimous, Mr. Song, and don't bother with me."

It doesn’t matter whether it was Wang Ning’s intention or Qi Jing’s intention. What matters is that he is sure that Qi Jing is fine.

Song Sili curled his lips, took the wine glass and gently touched it with his.

After taking a sip, Wang Ning put down his glass and looked at Shen Tang.

"I'll go say hello to Miss Shen."

Mr. Qi asked Miss Shen to come to expand his network, not to establish a romantic relationship.

Furthermore, it is not known who among these people was arranged by Mr. Qi.

"I'll go with you,"

Song Sili was in no mood for socializing, so he just decided to be a good person and send him off to the end.

"Tell Qi Jing that he owes me a favor."

"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Qi when I find him,"

Wang Ning did not refuse.

With Mr. Song's attitude, Miss Shen will gain more from this banquet.

Socializing is a tiring thing.

Shen Tang felt that his face was almost frozen from smiling. He had said everything he could say, but the people around him still showed no intention of leaving, so he had to find an excuse to leave.

"Excuse me, guys. I need to go to the restroom."

She nodded to a few people and turned around decisively, but unexpectedly bumped into the person behind her.

Because of the height difference, Shen Tang's head hit the man's hard chest directly, and he immediately staggered backwards with stars in his eyes.

Who is this? Why are you training so hard for no reason?!

Even Wang Ning, who had been paying attention to Shen Tang, didn't react.

Song Sili quickly grabbed Shen Tang's arm to help her steady herself.

Xiao Yunze came in at this time. From his perspective, Song Sili and Shen Tang were hugging each other.

He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the scene.

Whether it is misaligned or not is not important.

"Miss Shen, are you okay?"

She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare.

Shen Tang felt a sore nose and shook his head with tears in his eyes.

Song Sili let go of Shen Tang's arm, still looking gentle and polite.

"It's okay."

Wang Ning took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to Shen Tang.

"Thanks,"

Shen Tang's sore nose had subsided. After thanking Wang Ning, he looked at Song Sili.

"Feel sorry."

She was just thinking about resting and didn't notice that there was someone behind her.

"It doesn't matter,"

Song Sili noticed Xiao Yunze coming in from the door, and spoke gently to Shen Tang and Wang Ning.

"Sorry, an important partner is coming. I have to go over there."

Wang Ning knew that this banquet was prepared for a foreign businessman, and the man at the door, wearing a smoky gray suit and looking pretty good, was obviously him.

Shen Tang knew that Song Sili came to greet him only for Yangyang's sake, so of course he didn't mind.

"it is good."

Song Sili held a glass of wine and walked towards Xiao Yunze.

His gaze paused on Xiao Yunze's suit for two seconds.

"Mr. Xiao——"

Xiao Yunze also showed a faint smile on his face.

As they drank and chatted, the two chatted and laughed cheerfully, with no sign of the undercurrents stirring in private.

Wang Ning retracted his gaze, looked at Shen Tang and spoke with a smile.

"Miss Shen, let me introduce a few people to you."

Shen Tang knew what Wang Ning meant. Since they were partners now, it was natural for him to accept her kindness.

"it is good."

There was a pair of eyes in the crowd, always watching the two of them.

-

The old residence of the Qi family.

"dad,"

Qi Shuwen looked at Old Man Qi lying on the bed with an unpleasant expression.

Old Master Qi put down the medicine bowl in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Qi Shuwen indifferently.

"Did you catch that woman?"

What woman?

Qi Shuwen was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"That woman is at the banquet hosted by Song Sili, so it's difficult for our people to take action. However, I have arranged for people to go in and keep an eye on her, and we will take action as soon as she comes out."

"Then wait until you catch me, then come find me."

Old Master Qi withdrew his gaze, leaned against the head of the bed and dozed off, and stopped talking.

"I came to you for something else,"

Qi Shuwen felt even more uneasy when he looked at Old Man Qi's appearance.

"You know everything about the Lu family. What should we do now?"

He thought of everything, but he didn't expect that Lu Jingci's serious illness was completely false news.

If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to Qi Jing and handed over the Lu shares in my hands instead of buying more.

He already knew about Lu Jingci's actions within the Lu Group, so the next step was to take action against those who were against the Lu Group.

"Books and articles,"

Mr. Qi did not open his eyes and his voice was old and slow.

“Everyone is responsible for what they do.”

He was the same in this matter.

Are you going to let it go?

Qi Shuwen looked at his father in disbelief, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"dad--"

"Needless to say,"

Old Master Qi interrupted Qi Shuwen.

"Now, finding Xiao Jing is the most important thing."

Qi Shuwen's face was full of disapproval.

In his opinion, family development is more important than that unfilial son.

Before he could continue speaking, Mr. Qi's voice spoke again, his tone much more serious and cold than before.

"I know what you want to say. If you want the kid from the Lu family not to retaliate against the Qi family, it's very simple."

"what way?"

Qi Shuwen paused, and waited anxiously for Mr. Qi's next words.

Old Master Qi opened his eyes and turned to Qi Shuwen. His old and deep eyes were extremely cold and serious.

"Leave the Qi family's assets to Xiao Jing."

what?

Qi Shuwen was stunned, and his expression turned a little ugly when he reacted.

"Dad, Xiao Jing is still young. It's a bit too early to hand over all the property to him."

He only has one son now, Qi Jing, and the Qi family's assets will be handed over to him sooner or later.

But there is a huge difference between early and late.

After all, he has only taken over the family for less than ten years.

"Age has nothing to do with ability,"

Mr. Qi's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"You should have seen this very clearly over the years."

Qi Shuwen understood the meaning of his father's words and felt like a silent slap in the face. He was embarrassed and angry but could not say anything to refute.

"That kid from the Lu family won't give me face, but he will give Xiao Jing face,"

Old Master Qi looked at his son with a calm expression, but his tone was unyielding.

"Leaving the family to Xiao Jing is the best and only way at the moment."

This should also be what Xiaojing wanted.

Qi Shuwen stood where he was, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists and then slowly unclenched them.

"……I see."

"Get out,"

Old Master Qi closed his eyes again and thought about the Lu family.

This is such a huge chess game that even I couldn’t see it clearly.

There was a self-deprecating curve at the corner of his mouth.

I don't want to admit it, but I have to admit that I'm old and my brain can't keep up.

Some things should be let go completely.

-

hospital.

Zhizhi widened her black and white eyes, surprise written all over her face.

"Mommy, are we going back to Switzerland tomorrow?"

"Um,"

Yu Wen gently helped Zhizhi wipe the fruit stains off the corners of her lips. Her tone was gentle.

Of course, she would not tell Zhizhi about the studio's affairs.

Zhizhi pouted and whispered with disappointment on her face.

"If I had known I wouldn't have gotten sick so I could have gone out more."

"You can't control your illness,"

Yu Wen looked at his daughter, and there was a hint of complexity in the depths of his moist eyes.

"You like it here?"

Zhizhi didn't think much about it and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I like it here."

Although the time was short, I liked it inexplicably.

Yu Wen pursed her red lips slightly.

If nothing had happened in the studio, she could certainly stay in Kyoto for two more days with the paper, but.

The sudden vibration interrupted her thoughts.

"Buzzing—"

"Buzzing—"

When Yu Wen saw that it was a call from the studio, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and she walked to the window and answered the call.
