Chapter 50: Leaving the Door Open Anyway

If such a well-behaved and beautiful younger sister existed, she would undoubtedly feel that this aspect of her life was strictly controlled.

A precious gem, how could one bear to let go, how could one bear to let it be easily plucked?

Moreover, if she encountered a good man, the gem would not shed tears, it would not wither, it would have no lack of spirit.

“Okay, let’s rest for now. It’s more convenient for Lan to take a private plane. In my opinion, it’s more confidential.” Qin Yanzhou understood, even proactively giving Shen Muyan a strategy, “Don’t delay this matter.”

Shen Muyan was stunned, nodding: “Mm-hmm.”

“Take your time with your meal, and then say goodbye.”

“Mm.” Qin Yanzhou waited for the other side to hang up the phone, the sky was overcast and gloomy, and he instructed Lu Lin to plan Lan’s itinerary, in case of any need.

In the early morning, the eastern horizon was dyed with orange yellow, the mist was blown away by the morning sun.

The official announcement of the relocation of the district to the public had been officially released. Qin Xian had already paved the way, and the government was also strongly supportive, making the province very happy.

Shen Muyan was busy with these things for the past few days, and she wouldn’t be able to relax and play until National Day.

The climate in Shanghai wasn’t very suitable for her yet, the temperature difference was much greater than in Hong Kong, and after entering autumn, the body’s temperature would be lower.

“Ms. Shen, this document needs your signature.”

“Also, Ms. Xu has personally visited the company and is already on the floor. Do you need to see her?”

Shen Muyan had expected Xu’s move, so she wasn’t surprised. After signing the document with a stroke of her pen, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she whispered:

“If it’s for an apology, it’s fine.”

“She’s never been a saint.”

Yu explained: “Ms. Xu said it’s about Xu Ruize.”

“Please invite her to the reception area.”

Xu’s company had lost a lot of profit due to Xu Ruize, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the shareholders. In this period of time, Xu Ling’s credibility had been questioned by the board of directors.

Xu Ling and Xu Ruize were half-siblings. It could be said that their relationship was not good. Due to the suppression of her stepmother and her father’s indifference, this Ms. Xu had an empty title.

Xu Ruize had limped back, not contributing anything, but instead feeling resentful.

Most importantly, Shen’s company had relocated the commercial transformation of the district, so for the time being, they wouldn’t mention anything about it. Ms. Shen was free.

Xu Ling opened the gift box, inside lay a string of crystal blue diamond necklaces.

Shen Muyan still had a certain degree of vigilance towards Xu Ling.

Xu Ruize’s style, the more difficult things were, the more open he would be. Xu Ling didn’t say it directly, it was very obvious, “Oh, an apology, but actually thanking you for cleaning up Xu Ruize.”

Xu really told these secrets in such a way, seemingly harmonious, but actually full of scheming, fighting for power and intrigue.

Shen Muyan was unwilling to participate in these struggles, accepting the gift would mean tacitly supporting Xu Ling, which was foolish, she wouldn’t do that.

“This necklace is quite suitable, Ms. Xu, you can wear it yourself.” She politely declined, signaling Ning Qing to bring in a cup of hot tea.

“I like coffee.”

“Ms. Shen is beautiful and graceful, no matter what jewelry you wear, you can carry it off.” Xu Ling laughed, not taking back the gift.

“Ms. Xu, things should be achieved by your own efforts, not by relying on power, do you agree?”

For a while, a faint scent of medicine permeated the spacious meeting room. Shen Muyan spoke softly and gently, raising her slender wrist, she picked up the jade teacup and took a sip.

“I’ve been in Shanghai for so long, especially after the incident with Zheng Wen, I’ve grown.”

“Qin Xian said, in the business world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.”

Xu Ling was smart enough, but she hadn’t truly recognized herself.

She always treated Shen Muyan as a simple-minded rabbit, from the previous wine estate to the present gift, using Shen’s company’s goals, it was obvious.

“Sorry, I was too forward.” Xu Ling used laughter to cover up her embarrassment, taking back the gift box.

The tea was finished, she politely nodded her head and said goodbye.

Yu met Shen Muyan’s gaze, receiving her instructions, and escorted her out of the building.

——

Prosperous，Weston Manor.

Along the path, the red roses climbing the walls of the backyard bloomed proudly, as passionate as the sun, swaying in the wind.

Xu Yang had arrived at the manor very tired. The journey was long, and she had to transfer flights several times, her energy was already exhausted.

She heard from the housekeeper that Shen Yun Ze was busy working and hadn’t returned yet.

“She’s really dedicated.”

Xu Yang washed up and rested for a while, posting a moment on her social media.

“This time, even if…”

Location: Weston Manor.

After posting, she turned off the notification sound, casually threw her phone aside, and pulled the blanket over herself to sleep.

“I’ll be able to get out of this mess, anyway, I’ve left the door open for someone.”
