Chapter 120: I am very angry right now, I won’t let you refuse

Time rewound to two hours earlier.

Jiang Yubing and Shen Qingxuan arrived home only a short while ago.

However, they did not return to the rented little room; instead, they went straight back to their bridal suite.

Jiang Yubing finished her bath and stepped out, then heard the phone ring; when she looked at the screen, she saw Grandma calling.

After she answered, Grandma on the other end informed her that the next day’s school sports meet would be addressed by Shen Qingxuan on behalf of Jiangbei Group.

“Why do you look so troubled?”

Shen Qingxuan walked out of the bathroom and immediately saw Jiang Yubing’s worried expression.

She repeated the content of the call to him.

When he heard this, Shen Qingxuan frowned at once.

“Wasn’t it already decided that Shen Qingshu would give the speech for the group?”

“Why did it suddenly change to me?”

“Isn’t that ridiculous? I’m only a freshman!”

“Do they really plan to let me graduate with four years of work experience?”

When he imagined the scene the next day, Shen Qingxuan felt enormous pressure.

After all, the venue the next day would include not only students but also many school leaders.

Giving a speech in front of so many people might make him nervous and slip up, which would embarrass the group.

Seeing the idiot husband’s worried face, Jiang Yubing naturally understood what he was thinking.

At the same time, she felt puzzled about why her grandparents suddenly changed their minds.

Jiang Yubing thought it over carefully and suddenly felt that this arrangement was actually quite good.

In this way, the promise she once made to the idiot husband could be fulfilled sooner.

Thinking this, Jiang Yubing quickly spoke to encourage Shen Qingxuan: “Husband, keep it up; I believe you will succeed!”

Seeing her eyes full of expectation and encouragement, Shen Qingxuan felt warmth rise inside.

To go along with her words, he deliberately acted pitiful and said, “The tank is almost full, and you still add fuel?”

“Then what do we do?”

“Unless…”

Seeing the idiot husband’s mischievous grin, Jiang Yubing naturally guessed what he wanted to say.

Still, she played along and asked, “Unless what?”

Shen Qingxuan chuckled and said, “Naturally, I have to find a way to drain some oil from your tank.”

When she heard that, Jiang Yubing pretended to step back two paces and refused, “Husband, I still have to perform on stage tomorrow!”

“I am very angry right now; I won’t allow you to refuse!”

After speaking, Shen Qingxuan lifted her by the waist before she could react and strode toward the bedroom.

…

At the same time.

In Jiang Province.

Jiang Liang looked at Chen Jinxuan, who just hung up the phone, and asked, “Is Little Xuan beside Bingbing?”

Jiang Liang was Jiang Yubing’s grandpa, while Chen Jinxuan was her grandma.

Chen Jinxuan was not sure whether he was there, but ever since the couple received their certificate, they stayed inseparable every day.

When she saw his gaze turn to her, Chen Jinxuan still nodded, then walked over and sat beside him.

She asked worriedly, “Isn’t this a bit too rushed?”

In her opinion, Shen Qingxuan was only a freshman and still lacked maturity and steadiness.

Handing such a large group over to him so easily made her uneasy.

Actually, from the start the group planned for Bingbing to take over.

But Bingbing insisted on giving the group to Shen Qingxuan to manage, claiming she wanted to compensate him.

Note: Jiang Yubing always felt guilty for forcing Shen Qingxuan to obtain the marriage certificate with her.

Therefore, she decided to give him the entire ownership of Jiangbei Group as compensation.

Of course, Chen Jinxuan knew Shen Qingxuan saved her granddaughter, but Bingbing already married him.

She already gave herself to him; wasn’t that compensation big enough?

So she completely failed to understand where compensation was still needed.

Surely the two of them weren’t fooling them with a fake marriage!

“Cough, cough…”

Jiang Liang was about to speak when he suddenly couldn’t help but cough.

Chen Jinxuan quickly reached out and gently patted his back.

When the coughing eased, Jiang Liang continued, “You know it too; my body grows weaker day by day.”

“We can’t just leave such a big group unattended.”

Chen Jinxuan wanted to say something; her lips moved, but she swallowed the words in the end.

Indeed, as Jiang Liang said, the two of them did not have much time left and truly couldn’t wait for Shen Qingxuan to mature slowly.

After so many years of marriage, how could Jiang Liang fail to see what she was thinking?

He held her hand and slowly said, “Since Bingbing chose him, she must have her reasons.”

He paused, then added, “We two old bones will use our remaining time to smooth his path as much as possible.”

When she heard this, Chen Jinxuan nodded slightly.

Indeed.

For now, this was all they could do.

She raised her head, looked at the pitch-black night outside the window, and let her thoughts drift away.

When the two elders leave this world, Little Xuan would be Bingbing’s only family.

“Sigh!”

She only hoped that in the days to come, Little Xuan would treat Bingbing well.

…

Inside a certain hotel private room.

By then more than a dozen people sat around the table, all colleagues from Shen Qingshu’s department.

Someone spoke up, “Let’s all congratulate the boss!”

Shen Qingshu picked up the wine glass on the table, stood up, and said with a smile, “What’s there to congratulate? I’m only giving a speech on behalf of the group.”

“You can’t say that, Boss. You just joined the company, yet you’re already the group’s representative.”

“That’s right!”

“We’ll have to rely on you to look after us in the future, Boss.”

The others chimed in one after another.

Flattered by the compliments, Shen Qingshu felt light-headed and quickly said, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

“Boss, is the deputy supervisor your husband?”

Under the influence of alcohol, someone asked the question everyone cared about.

Although the man carried the title of deputy supervisor, during this busy period he only showed his face once and never appeared again.

Although no one dared speak openly, everyone secretly complained about Shen Qingxuan’s behavior.

Facing their gazes, Shen Qingshu thought for a moment and eventually nodded.

After all, even if he said nothing, everyone could guess something from the name alone.

When they heard this, everyone displayed an expression of sudden realization.

At the same time, they all felt indignant on behalf of Shen Qingshu.

These past few days the supervisor busied himself with everything; they all saw it with their own eyes.

Seeing the atmosphere turn quiet, Shen Qingshu quickly stood up to liven things up, “Alright, alright, everyone, eat and drink.”

Two hours later.

When he saw that everyone nearly finished eating, Shen Qingshu stood up again and said, “I have some good news for everyone.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at him curiously.

Shen Qingshu stopped keeping them guessing, “Our department performed exceptionally well recently, so the group decided to give everyone three days off.”

When they heard this, uncontrollable joy spread across their faces.

Some colleagues even jumped from their seats and ran a circle around the private room.
