Chapter 30

Sheng Yujie’s face instantly turned pale.

Mr. Sheng had few descendants; his son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident when they were young, leaving only Sheng Qing as his grandson.

If Luo Wan was his granddaughter-in-law, then the relationship between Luo Wan and Sheng Qing…

Sheng Yujie dared not think further.

He was already regretting his impulsive words from earlier.

As the current head of the Sheng family, Sheng Qing was stern and ruthless, and extremely protective of his loved ones.

If he found out about the way he had spoken about his wife, his good days would be over.

Mr. Sheng looked at the terrified juniors beside him with some reluctance.

He comfortingly patted the person’s shoulder and said with a weighty tone, “Yujie, in the future, you must be discerning in your judgments of people.”

“Keep your distance from families with such twisted values. Otherwise, you’ll attract troubles you can’t handle.”

“Today’s incident, I’ll let it slide since you were unaware. I can keep it a secret from Sheng Qing for you.”

Mr. Sheng also knew his grandson’s temper and didn’t want his family to be embarrassed.

“Wanwan, come here.”

Mr. Sheng called Luo Wan over to him.

Then, he gestured to Sheng Yujie and said, “Let’s formally introduce her. This is your little sister-in-law.”

“Go on, call her.”

At these words, the expression on Sheng Yujie’s face changed from fear to embarrassment.

After all, if it weren’t for Luo Rou, Luo Wan might already have been his fiancée.

Now, the country woman he despised the most had suddenly become his little sister-in-law.

Sheng Yujie hesitated, unable to bring himself to say it.

Hmm.

Mr. Sheng cleared his throat with authority.

“Little sister-in-law.”

Sheng Yujie pursed his lips and reluctantly squeezed out the three words from between his teeth.

“Yes, dear nephew,” Luo Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and responded.

“Alright, you can go now.” Hearing what he wanted to hear, Mr. Sheng spoke up to dismiss them.

Sheng Yujie left with a dejected expression.

With the troublemakers gone, Mr. Sheng suggested that Luo Wan stay for a few more days.

Madam eagerly nodded in agreement.

Although she couldn’t bear to refuse the two elderly, considering her empty wallet, Luo Wan still mustered the courage to decline.

After all, her twentieth birthday was coming soon, and she needed to find a way to reclaim her mother’s shares.

Even with the blessing of a will, it wouldn’t be easy for Luo Minghui to simply transfer the shares to her. So, inevitably, she would need to hire a lawyer, which would cost a lot of money.

So, for now, she had to work diligently as an employee.

Wang Shu drove Luo Wan back to Xiyuan.

Actually, when Luo Wan was on the border, she could drive anything from racing cars to off-road vehicles with ease. It’s just that she found it troublesome to get a driver’s license at the time, and here, they often checked for driver’s licenses, so she couldn’t even touch a car.

It seems she’ll have to get her driver’s license one of these days.

On the other side, the Luo Minghui couple was dragged far away by others.

The two of them fell to the ground in a sorry state.

With a fire burning in their hearts but unable to vent their anger, they could only suppress it.

After dragging the two security guards to a certain distance, they left.

The location of the Sheng family’s old mansion was quite remote, with few vehicles passing by.

When Luo Minghui came, he was driving, but the car was parked at the villa’s gate. Now, it was left on the roadside, and they didn’t dare to go back to drive it. So, the two of them could only help each other walk towards the direction of the city.

Wearing high heels, Rui Tianfeng, accustomed to a life of luxury for years, had never walked such a long distance before. Soon, her feet were blistered, and she found a place to sit on the roadside, refusing to walk any further.

“Minghui, I can’t walk anymore.”

Luo Minghui glanced at her angrily and stopped as well.

“No wonder you’re not fit for the police station. When did this brat get involved with the Sheng family?”

“Just now, Mr. Sheng called her something, daughter-in-law.”

Luo Minghui began to carefully recall the events from earlier.

At his words, Rui Tianfeng frowned as well.

She had heard it too.

“Other than the grandson who holds a high position in the family, does Mr. Sheng have any other grandsons?”

Rui Tianfeng automatically excluded Sheng Qing, after all, how could that country woman catch the eye of the other?

She didn’t even dare to think about her daughter Luo Rou.

Luo Minghui pondered silently, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Because he realized that Mr. Sheng seemed to have only one grandson, the current head of the Sheng family, Sheng Qing.

“How did this brat manage to hook up with Sheng Qing?”

Luo Minghui was not happy that his daughter had found such a powerful backer. With the support of the Sheng family, it wouldn’t be a matter of minutes to reclaim the shares.

He absolutely couldn’t give away the company he had worked so hard to build.

Rui Tianfeng also realized this, and the two of them began to conspire.

“We only saw the affection of the two elderly members of the Fu Guan Sheng family just now, but who knows if Fu Guan Sheng will like her.”

“Everyone in City A knows that the old master of the Fu Guan Sheng family lost his son in his old age and now pins all his hopes on his grandson, urging him to get married every day. Maybe Luo Wan was just brought in by the old master of the Fu Guan Sheng family to have children.”

“Yeah, Fu Guan Sheng has seen all kinds of beauties. How could he like a country girl?”

“Minghui, I have an idea.” Rui Tianfeng suddenly proposed, “Since Luo Wan is now married to Fu Guan Sheng, we can pretend to reconcile and then use this relationship to climb up to the Fu Guan Sheng family.”

“First, it can benefit the company, and second, it can allow Luo Rou to interact more with Fu Guan Sheng. As long as our Luo Rou can win Fu Guan Sheng’s favor, it won’t matter if those two old folks still like Luo Wan.”

“Then Luo Wan will lose the support of the Fu Guan Sheng family, and you won’t have to worry about her holding onto the shares.”

Luo Minghui also thought this method was feasible, but he still had concerns.

“But Fu Guan Sheng YuJie is already engaged to Luo Rou.”

At his words, a calculating light flashed in Rui Tianfeng’s eyes.

“As you just saw, Fu Guan Sheng YuJie can only be considered a side branch of the Fu Guan Sheng family, with no say and just bluffing. If our Luo Rou marries over there, she might end up being bullied.”

“But it’s different if she marries Fu Guan Sheng. He’s the head of the family.”

Luo Minghui was persuaded and agreed.

“Alright, but keep this matter hidden from Fu Guan Sheng YuJie for now.”

“Got it.”

The two reached a consensus.

In the afternoon.

Luo Wan sat at the computer desk planning how to quickly fill the coffers.

A page that popped up on the webpage caught her attention.

It was a notice for a jewelry competition.

She quickly skimmed through the content.

The competition was organized by the K Group, and the first prize not only included a certificate but also a one million prize.

The competition was divided into preliminary, semifinal, and final rounds, and anyone proficient in design could participate.

With the lure of one million, Luo Wan submitted her application.

Once decided, she immediately got to work.

For an entire afternoon, Luo Wan stayed in her bedroom designing the initial drafts.

She had researched the K Group before, and in Huaguo, it was almost on par with the Fu Guan Sheng Group.
