Chapter 400: Time For Trouble Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Lin was the one who kept refusing to believe that a wild child with no proper background could find their way into Ye Ling’s heart and raise Ye Ling’s child. She was jealous, angry, and indignant. Shen Qianshu was living a life that was supposed to be hers.
Genius jewelry designer, smart and adorable child, and Ye Ling’s love.
These were all supposed to be hers.
She felt like she had lost her mind, and she mumbled to herself. “No way… No way… No way…”
“Lin, what’s wrong?”
“Say something, you met Ye Ling. Is he willing to help us?” Shen Xiong asked.
“He is unwilling to help us.”
Shen Xiong’s face turned pale as if a layer of powder was brushed on his face. He was in huge debt. How was he going to pay for it? The private bank he borrowed money from illegally was hunting them down closely. Even if he sold his assets, he would not have enough to repay his debt.
“What’s your problem? Didn’t you say that Ye Ling liked you? If he did, why wouldn’t he help you? Are you still thinking about Lin Xuan? Was that why you refused to accept Ye Ling?” Shen Xiong chided at her. Fang Xia was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
That was an awful thing to say.
“Pa, he doesn’t want to help us. If we form connections with the Qian[1. Qian(钱) also means money in Chinese.] Family through marriage, we won’t have to pay off our debts. We would even have a lifetime’s supply of resources to use…” Shen Lin said softly.
Boss Qian from the illegal private bank always appeared and vanished suddenly, but he had a lustful nephew who was always horny. He was short and ugly yet lustful. Boss Qian’s siblings passed on very early, and his nephew was his precious love. He listened to whatever his nephew said.
His name was Qian Youli, and people called him Young Boss Qian.
Lu Mengxi showed her a clear path—Make Shen Qianshu pay for you!
“Lin, you’re crazy. He’s short and ugly. The main thing is that he has no talent in anything, and he’s a cruel person. If you marry him, wouldn’t he be punching above his weight?” Fang Xia objected to the idea immediately, but Shen Xiong seemed to be hesitant.
He could not bear to see the career he built up half his life being gone like that.
“Mom… I’m not your only daughter.” Shen Lin laughed. How could she tell the Shen Family that Shen Qianshu was Ye Ling’s girlfriend? She had always felt like she was above the world, and she hated it when Shen Qianshu brought more honor and glory than she did.
If she told her parents about that, she would become useless in Shen Xiong’s eyes given his personality.
Shen Qianshu would then become their favorite lovely daughter again.
Fang Xia’s face changed. “You-!”
She stood up with her two hands shaking in anger. “Lin, you’re… too…”
Too cruel!
Shen Xiong’s eyes lit up. Right, the Shen Family still has another daughter.
They could definitely get Shen Qianshu to do something on account of the kinship they had built while raising her for eighteen years.
The thought of having a solution to the issue and having a lot of resources in the future made Shen Xiong agree instantly.
“The two of you…” Fang Xia clenched her jaw. “Qianshu would never agree to this. Give up on your silly hope.”
When she went to meet Shen Qianshu the other day, her heart broke when she heard Qianshu call her “Mrs. Shen.” Qianshu was, after all, doted on by her for so many years. Back then, she loved Qianshu like she was her life, but in the past few years, they drifted farther away from each other, and she could only watch her through her live-streams secretly. For Shen Lin, she broke Qianshu’s heart several times. How would she bear to hurt Qianshu again? She really wished that things would go as Qianshu had suggested—for them to part in their own ways.
But now, they wanted to push her into the fiery pit. That was too cruel.
“Mum, then do you expect me to accompany Prince Qian? I’m your biological daughter…” Shen Lin’s eyes became teary, and she pretended to look pitiful. She took a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes. “Mum, are you willing to send me to them?”
Of course not!
Who would be willing to send their proper and nice daughter to Young Boss Qian?
“Xiong, you know very well about the ways we have been treating Qianshu all these years. She would never help us out. We need to think of other ways to save our business.”
