Chapter 376 - Don't Ever Call Me for Such a Thing Again

He hurried to have a look at it, and it was from Old Madame. What did she want him to do at this time? Shen Yan let out a breath and answered it.

“Come to the Headquarters right now!” Old Madame only gave him six words.

Shen Yan frowned and said, “I have a meeting right away. Can we talk on the phone?”

“No. Come over right now!” Old Madame directly hung up the phone before Shen Yan could finish his words.

Old Madame was really more and more domineering than ever. Shen Yan let out a breath again and put his phone in his pocket. At this moment, Liu Sijie just came in. Shen Yan hastened to say, “You host the meeting with Xia Yu. I have to go to the Headquarters now.”

“What happened?” Liu Sijie asked.

“I’ve no idea. But Old Madame called me herself, and her voice sounded very urgent.” Shen Yan gave Liu Sijie a pile of documents on the desk and told him to take them away.

Urgent? That was wired. He never heard that something important had happened.

“OK. Call me if you need me.” Now that it was Old Madame’s demand, Shen Yan indeed had to go there. Liu Sijie picked up the documents and left the office room with Shen Yan.

When Shen Yan was driving on the road, Old Madame called her again and asked if he had set out or not. Shen Yan told her that he was already on the way, and she just directly hung up again without saying anything.

When he arrived at the hall of the Headquarters, the staff there greeted him as usual, but he felt that they looked at him with somewhat strange eyes.

Did something really take place? Shen Yan went into the elevator with doubt and soon reached the door of Old Madame’s office. He was about to knock on the door when Secretary Yang came over and said, “Young Master Yan, Old Madame, and others are waiting for you in the conference room.”

They were in the conference room. It seemed that there was really something wrong. Shen Yan directly headed for the conference room without more ado.

People of Shen Family were all there, plus Yang Weiye and Zeng Mina. Shen Yan took a seat and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Old Madame was silent with a long face. Others also didn’t say anything. Second Madame looked at Shen Yan and sighed. When she was just about to open his mouth, Yang Weiye gave an eye to her, so she had to say nothing.

It seemed that Old Madame wanted to bring me to trial. He knew a little in his mind. He guessed that someone had told on him in front of her. If it was the reason why Old Madame called him to come here, he could feel relieved instead.

He reached out his hand and poured a cup of tea for himself. After taking a sip, he put it down and took out a cigarette. Then he lit his cigarette and began to smoke leisurely. He put the cigarette between his fingers and dropped the ash into the crystal ashtray in front of him.

He didn’t care about it at all. Old Madame made a dissatisfied sound. She raised her head and gave sharp eyes to Shen Yan, but her voice was still placid. “Did Li Wen go to your company today?”

It was for Li Wen. Shen Yan took another puff at his cigarette and then said, “Yes, he said that he wanted to cooperate with me.”

“What kind of cooperation?” Old Madame asked indifferently and calmly.

“Recently, he has opened a beauty center, right? He came there to ask me for goods. His beauty center is quite large, so he wanted to sign with me a contract of 500 million yuan.” Shen Yan introduced briefly.

A contract of 500 million yuan! That was a big deal indeed. But Old Madame showed no surprise and continued to ask, “Then how is your negotiation?”

“Quite good. I signed the contract, and he will come for the first stock tomorrow.” Shen Yan told her truthfully since there were no outsiders here after all. Besides, the die was cast, and there was nothing that he needed to hide.

“Did you sign the contract? It is impossible. You definitely said that you would drive Young Master Li away.” Seeing that Shen Yan was telling a lie in front of so many people, Zeng Mina came out to testify at once. She even recorded it this time. She couldn’t make any mistake.

Shen Yan understood immediately that it was really the eldest Miss who told on him. He smiled lightly and said, “Is there a conflict between driving him away and signing a contract with him?”

“You don’t get along well with each other at all, so how could it be possible that you two collaborated with each other?” Zeng Mina was not a fool, and she didn’t believe him.

“Do all the people in Zeng Group make decisions with your emotion? Do you all disregard the company’s interest because of some personal grudges?” Shen Yan took another puff at his cigarette and pressed the butt into the ashtray firmly.

“I…” Zeng Mina was silent for a while and then said while gritting her teeth. “Shen Yan, don’t forget yourself. You are the same. Didn’t you do everything against my father and block him from joining the board of Shen Group since you were not convinced that your older brother was engaged to me?”

Seeing that Shen Yan said sanctimoniously, Zeng Mina couldn’t bear it anymore, so she questioned him in public.

“Mina!” First Madame hurried to stop her. Whether Shen Yan would vote against Zeng Ziqiang or not in the end, Zeng Ziqiang had gone too far to threaten Shen Yan through letting Li Tianci kidnap Xia Yu.

Zeng Mina closed her mouth quickly, but she was still angry and not convinced. Tears were rolling in her eyes. She just glared at Shen Yan with her eyes.

“Zeng Mina, let me tell you again. I liked you indeed but never wanted to get into a relationship with you. I also wasn’t happy to see that you were engaged to my elder brother. But it was not because I was jealous, but I didn’t think you were just right for each other at all. Of course, if my brother is OK with that, I won’t go against him.” Now that Zeng Mina said directly in front of so many people, he should express clearly his real thoughts. It could prevent others from guessing endlessly.

“Little Yan!” Second Madame hurried to stop him from talking nonsense. “Talk the issue itself and don’t mention other things.”

“Mother, I didn’t want to mention it as well, but since Zeng Mina mentioned this issue, I had to make it clear to her. As for her father and the cooperation between Zeng Group and Shen Group, I have no objection. The reason why I am so determined to prevent her father from entering Shen Group is that I think people in Zeng Group have not reached an agreement. In this case, it isn’t suitable for him to join us.” Shen Yan looked directly at Zeng Mina and told her with an unprecedented but serious tone.

“That’s impossible. My father is bent on cooperating with Shen Group. He’s sincere enough.” Zeng Mina said loudly on the side.

“Didn’t you hear what I just said? I told you that it was because people in Zeng Group had not reached an agreement.” Shen Yan glanced at Shen Mo and continued to say, “Now you have been engaged to my older brother. Why should I reject the win-win collaboration between Shen Group and Zeng Group?”

“Don’t just say some nice words! You are indeed going against my father.”

“How can I not reject? Do you want me to see that Shen Group follows in Zeng Group’s steps that when the future President launch an order, a group of people follow behind him and cut the ground from under his feet?”

Shen Yan said in an impolite tone.

“Shen Yan! You’ve gone too far with your words.” Old Madame frowned on the side when hearing this and thought that this boy was getting more and more outrageous.

“Shen Yan, I need you to apologize to Zeng Group and my father right now! Or I will never let you get away with it.” Zeng Mina was really about to go crazy. How could he talk about Zeng Group in this way?

Zeng Group was also very famous in S city, though not as famous as Shen Group. But Zeng Mina thought Shen Group was no better than Zeng Group.

“When you are back, just ask your father how I could have found Liu Quanhe if no one had gone against his order and why Xia Yu would have been taken to the deep mountain and been bruised all over her body if no one had gone against him.” Shen Yan stood up while saying. “I’m very busy. Old Madame, don’t ever call me for such a thing again.”

“He, he, he…” Zeng Mina was so angry when seeing that Old Madame did not prevent Shen Yan from leaving. Although she wanted to dash to Shen Yan to stop him, she was timid and did not have the guts, so she could only point at his back on the side. She was so angry that she even could not utter a word.

Old Madame sighed and looked at Second Madame.

Second Madame was also very awkward. “Mina, don’t be angry. I will lecture him when I’m back.”

“Second Aunt, how do you lecture him? He said those flat-out words only for the sake of Mina because he still has a little affection for Mina. If Zeng Family goes on like this… You must know what I want to say, so I won’t go on saying.” Shen Mo said and took a glimpse at Zeng Mina on the side. He had long told her that he wanted to talk with Zeng Ziqiang face to face. But Zeng Ziqiang was so proud that he thought he could take everything under control. In this case, what could Shen Mo say and do?

“You, you say the same words as well?” Zeng Mina was very shocked with her wide-open mouth.

“Don’t come to tell Old Madame such a thing again. Don’t you know that Li Wen and Shen Yan have competed with each other for so many years? Although they don’t get along well in private, they are scrupulous in separating public from private interests. They won’t joke about work.” After finishing his words, he went out as well.

He, he… Zeng Mina was dizzy out of anger. She could understand that Shen Yan said these words since after Zeng Family entered Shen Group, they would certainly support Shen Mo, which was a great threat to Shen Yan. But Shen Mo also said so, which really broke her heart.

Her father did all these things for him, but he regarded a goodwill as a malice. Zeng Mina couldn’t bear it and shouted out impulsively. “Shen Mo, I want to break off our engagement.”

Shen Mo was motionless for a moment and turned around quickly. “OK, I will tell Xiang Hui to draft a document and make a statement in the newspaper.” Anyway, they were celebrities, so they should tell this to the public honestly.

Was he so eager to break off with her? What Zeng Mina just said was only out of anger, but Shen Mo just answered directly without any hesitation. Her tears rolled down at once. “My guess is right. You surely fell in love with Xia Yu.”

“What?” Shen Mo frowned and could not help laughing. “Zeng Mina, what a rich imagination you have!”

After saying this, he strode out.

“Mina, what’s wrong with you today?” Second Madam asked. Why did she propose breaking off the engagement and get Xia Yu involved for no reason?

Why did Xia Yu get involved in this matter? How could this kid talk nonsense? Zeng Mina looked up at Second Madame, only to see her indifferent face. Second Madam smiled awkwardly at her.

“Don’t take it to heart, sister-in-law. That is just Mina’s slip of the tongue. ”

“Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I still have something to do, so I should leave first.” Then Second Madame said goodbye to Old Madame and Yang Weiye and left as well.

Zeng Mina lost her face completely and didn’t want to stay here anymore. She came back home with her red eyes. Zhou Jiali was just there. Seeing that Zeng Mina seemed to have cried, she came up to show her concern.

“Mina, what’s wrong?”

“It is Shen Mo. I did not expect that he would fall in love with Xia Yu and slander Zeng Group together with Shen Yan?” Zeng Mina finally found a chance to have a good cry.

“What? What did you say?” Zhou Jiali’s face became very bad instantly. She looked at Zeng Mina who was having a good cry and said, “Mina, don’t shed your tears. I’ll go to consult with your father right now. How come Shen Mo will dare to cancel the marriage?”

“But he indeed said so in such a bad way without any hesitation. I won’t be happy with him anymore.” Zeng Mina was fed up with Shen Mo’s apathy. She asked Zeng Quan before and knew Shen Mo spoke to Xia Yu with a smile. But to her, he would not even say a word, let alone a smile.

Even if there was really nothing between them, he only took her as a sister-in-law. Why did he take such good care of his brother’s wife-to-be but treat his own wife-to-be so coldly? What did it mean? It meant that she was not in his heart at all.

In this case, what was good to continue to stay with him?

“Mina, don’t be capricious. Your father has been driven crazy by Shen Yan, so you should behave well and not let him worry.” Zhou Jiali wiped Zeng Mina’s tears off and continued to persuade her. “Men are all like this before they get married. He will treat you better after you’re married. You’ve thought too much.”

“I know. I was just so angry.” Zeng Mina didn’t know since when she became a little afraid of Zhou Jiali and stopped complaining at once.

“That’s my girl. Take a good rest at home, and I’m going to find your father right now.” What a fool rich girl! Zhou Jiali said to herself in her mind. Then she picked up her purse and walked out.
