Chapter 117 - 117 116 Wenyan Long Time No See

Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Wenyan, Long Time No See! Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Wenyan, Long Time No See! Upon hearing this, Shen Jinghe paused.

However, he didn’t even turn his head, only raised a finger toward Wenyan with his back to her.

“Transfer me 1000 yuan, otherwise I’m not listening.”

“What?!” Wenyan’s face contorted with disbelief.

“You’re still talking about money with me? I haven’t even asked you for that 1000 yuan back yet!”

Shen Jinghe didn’t care, “Why should it be returned? On what grounds should it be returned? Didn’t we exchange the money for the photos already? If you’re not giving it to me, then I’m leaving.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he started walking away, truly about to leave.

Seeing this, Wenyan hurriedly followed.

Having no choice, she grabbed Shen Jinghe’s arm and started to act coquettish.

“Don’t be like that, Second Brother! I’m begging you, okay? How can you be so cold-hearted and ruthless?”

Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow, pretending to be aloof, but inside he was already secretly very pleased.

“Call me a few ‘good brother’ and let me hear it; maybe if I’m happy enough, I’ll agree to it.”

Wenyan: This is easy!

“Good brother, wonderful brother, brother so great you deserve applause! You’re the best second brother in the whole world, please take some of your precious time to talk to me, thank you!”

Shen Jinghe pursed his lips, holding back his laughter.

“Alright then, come upstairs with me!”

“Sure thing, brother, you’re the best!”

The two went upstairs, one on the left and one on the right.

Shen Jingxiu, who had just returned from a run outside, happened to witness this scene.

Hearing Wenyan’s endless ‘good brothers’, along with Shen Jinghe’s light laughter, he suddenly felt hollow inside.

It was as if the liveliness of this home never belonged to him.

–

“So, what serious matter do you want to discuss with me?”

On the rooftop terrace, Shen Jinghe pulled out a chair for Wenyan and gestured for her to sit down.

Wenyan also put away the joking expression she had before and said seriously,

“I indeed have something I need to consult you about, it’s about the studio.”

“Oh? Had a change of heart?” Shen Jinghe glanced at Wenyan, “Did you eat bitterness while filming alone on the island this time?”

“Heh heh, it was a bit tough. So I’m considering hiring an agent and an assistant to work for me. I hope I can make my own decisions to the greatest extent in my future work, rather than being manipulated by an agent.”

Shen Jinghe squinted his eyes, and after a moment said, “But with your current fame, it will be difficult. There’s no lack of agents in the circle with experience or rich resources. But those at their level…

“They wouldn’t give up their empire to work for a newcomer like you. Unless you can offer an extremely generous compensation, but with that kind of funding, you might as well invest in your own projects.”

Wenyan immediately waved her hands, “Then I don’t have the financial resources for that at the moment. But I’m not in a hurry; I can take it step by step. Even if it’s just finding an assistant for now, I can slowly work with her.”

“Is that so? You can really hold your horses.” Shen Jinghe chuckled, “You do have quite the ambition!”

“Of course!” Wenyan flattered, “Just look at whose sister I am. As far as I know, Second Brother, you also relied on yourself at the beginning. You’ve always been the example I learn from. You’re not only handsome, but you’re also strong, capable, financially strong, not to mention your other excellent conditions. You’re simply the epitome of tall, rich, and handsome strength!”

“…Hmm,” Shen Jinghe frowned, trying to control the expression on his face, but eventually, he couldn’t help but laugh, “You do know how to talk. Then wait for my news, I’ll help you keep an eye out.”

“Yeah! Thank you, good second brother!”

[Heh, being sweet-tongued was definitely the right move—it works on him every time.]

Shen Jinghe: …Why do I feel like I’ve been swindled? Is it too late to back out now?

But the thing is, he’s dying for her flattery!

Tall, rich, and handsome strength—he had heard that term for the first time today; he had only ever heard of tall, rich, and handsome before.

He really couldn’t help but feel satisfied with the word “strong”!

–

The day passed by quickly.

Before dinner, after a day of leisure, Shen Yuan and Su Yang returned home.

When they got back, only Wenyan was left in the house.

Shen Jinghe had an announcement to catch up on, and Shen Jingchuan had left early in the morning.

Because there was an important meeting early the next day, even Shen Jingxiu had gone back to stay at the apartment near the company overnight.

After learning this, Su Yang said to Wenyan, “If I had known earlier, I would have taken you out with us today. It must be boring staying at home alone, right?”

Wenyan nodded, “It really is a bit boring. After sleeping in, I suddenly found myself with nothing to do, and neither TV shows nor video games appeal to me anymore.”

“Exactly, I feel bored too if I rest for too long. By the way, tomorrow night I have a cousin celebrating his birthday, and he will be hosting a banquet. Why don’t you come with us? You would even have to call him uncle, given our family hierarchy.”

“Sure!” Since she was idle anyway, Wenyan decided to follow Su Yang and experience what a grand family’s banquet was like.

The next morning, as usual, Su Yang went to her studio.

But she left Wenyan a membership card.

In the morning, Wenyan went to the beauty salon with the card and had a full-body care and maintenance treatment.

In the afternoon, Su Yang sent her makeup and styling team directly to the house to style Wenyan.

At half-past five, Su Yang’s driver came directly to the villa to pick up Wenyan.

When Wenyan arrived at the hotel banquet hall, Shen Yuan and his wife Su Yang were already there.

They took Wenyan to meet some of the elders on Su Yang’s maternal side of the family.

Although Wenyan was just Su Yang’s adopted daughter, she was sweet-talking, and her dressing, behavior, and mannerisms all fit in nicely, and the elders couldn’t find any faults.

Su Yang was very pleased with this.

It wasn’t enough for her to just accept Wenyan; she hoped that her maternal family would also accept her daughter.

However, these people were strangers to Wenyan, and after a round of greetings, she began to feel a bit drained.

After saying a quick word to Su Yang, she decided to go to the terrace for some fresh air.

As she passed through the self-service dining area, due to the crowd, Wenyan accidentally bumped into someone.

She quickly turned around and apologized.

But the person seemed not to have noticed at all, leaving her with just a view of their back, and did not respond to her apology.

Wenyan didn’t dwell on it too much.

But as soon as she walked away, the woman she had bumped into quickly turned her head back.

It was Min Xiasha!

Actually, as soon as she was bumped, she had realized the person brushing past her was Wenyan.

The reason she immediately turned away to deliberately avoid Wenyan was that she had come with Zhang, whom she was accompanying today.

This Zhang Zhengang was already in his fifties, even shorter than her, balding, with a beer belly, and both old and ugly.

Min Xiasha didn’t want Wenyan to see her standing next to such a pathetic old man; she found it too embarrassing!

Yet as she stared at Wenyan’s retreating back, she was very curious.

Who was Wenyan accompanying tonight? It must be her sugar daddy, right?

Wenyan sat down in the swing chair on the terrace and had just bent over to loosen her high-heel straps when a voice sounded from behind her.

“Wenyan, long time no see.”
