Chapter 484 - Only You Can Harbor Me

“Where can I live if I don’t live here?” She sucked her nose again and replied a little heartlessly. After thinking for a second, she said, “Otherwise, you can tell Zhou Yan to let him take in me.”

Now in the whole S, only these two dared to take her in and that was the only way out.

“…” Shen Yan was speechless again, as Mrs. Bai really had taken pains in coming up with the idea. He really wanted to send Bai Hong to Zhou Yan, but the lad went to Nihon and it would not work.

“I will take you to a nearby hotel first to find a room for you.” He planned to settle Bai Hong first for a night. When he took the car key and turned around, he was pulled by the woman behind him.

“I won’t stay in a hotel. I will stay with you,” she said assuredly.

Shen Yan looked at her and found her eyes darkening.

“It’s not convenient for you to live here!”

“You’re not afraid of Xia Yu being unhappy, are you? Don’t worry, she is not so narrow-minded.” Bai Hong just wouldn’t leave, “I have something to discuss with you, so let me stay with you for one night.”

Shen Yan let her stay for one night, so he walked over and opened the door, “Come in!”

Bai Hong immediately found herself face brightened and smile blooming. When she took the large handbag on the ground, she followed Shen Yan into the room and turned on the light, which made expression on their face clear.

Bai Hong put the bag directly on the shoe cabinet, ran to the living room in three or two steps, and slumped on the sofa.

“I’m exhausted. I’ve been waiting for you for more than six hours at the door. Your maid really has a principle.” She said, holding and messaging her calf with her hands.

Shen Yan couldn’t figure out what she wanted to do this time. Standing helplessly with a sigh of relief in front of the sofa, he didn’t like to waste time like this, so he decided to take the opportunity to make it clear.

“Bai Hong, I think…”

“Didn’t you have dinner?”

“What?”

She suddenly interrupted Shen Yan’s words and grabbed the food container he held. “I didn’t have dinner either. Let me have a look at what you bought. Sushi? Why do you guys love sushi so much? Last time Zhou Yan bought the same thing. Forget it, I’ll have some for myself.” After saying that, she had opened the food box, picked up one sushi putting into her mouth casually, and talked with her mouth full of food, “It tastes good. I’m starved, so can you…”

As a result, she choked before she could finish speaking. So, she could only point at Shen Yan with her neck stuck, “Water, I need water…”

That was great. She directly treated himself as a servant. Shen Yan had no choice but went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. Bai Hong picked it up and drank more than half a glass like a fish, and then ate some sushi in a row. She ate very urgently, as if someone would grab her food.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but turn around and he took a paper towel and handed it to her, “Slow down. I’ll talk about it after you finish eating!” As a result, Bai Hong ate most of the sushi in the box with a glass of water and was probably really so starved to burp at end.

Shen Yan looked at her, feeling funny and concerned. He waited patiently for her to finish eating and wiping her mouth and fingers with a tissue.

“Wait!” After that, she ran to the kitchen and took half a glass of water to drink, and it was then that she finally took it easy and walked back to the living room. Shen Yan still stood there watching her.

She was also not unreasonable and said with a smile, “Did you not have something to tell me just now? Come on!” Facing such a calm and kind attitude, Shen Yan was a little bit sorry and only swiped his forehead.

“Have a seat first.”

“Fine!”

Bai Hong sat obediently on the sofa again, and Shen Yan also sat opposite her. His hands folded and twisted, and he finally spoke: “In fact, I should have told you something long ago, but I never had a chance. Just for the record, Yang Ke’er and Zhang Peng were not matched by me…”

“Wait a minute!”

“What?”

Bai Hong’s sudden interruption impeded Shen Yan’s words.

“Suddenly I am reminded of something!” Bai Hong on the opposite sofa got up and took the oversized handbag from the table, unzipped it, and pulled out something from the mezzanine.

“Here you are!”

“What?”

Shen Yan took it unaware of what happened. To be precise, it should be several sheets of folded paper. He opened the paper and glanced at the title, and as he turned to the latter pages, his face started getting darker and darker.

This was clearly an investment contract drafted by Shen Mo and President Bai previously. Because Bai Hong’s marriage with Jiang Tao was stranded, the contract was suddenly shelved. But why did it come to Bai Hong?

Shen Yan looked up at her, and the person on the sofa opposite was expressionless. His eyes were cold, and he asked, “What’s going on?”

“What’s going on? Don’t you even understand this, Young Master Yan?”

“Say the reason directly.”

“If Young Master Mo can cooperate with us, why can’t you?” What Bai Hong heard repeatedly these days was that the engagement with Jiang Tao was entirely for the family business. She came to find Shen Yan to cooperate with him, and wasn’t that also a business?

“Don’t make trouble. Get the contract back!” Shen Yan folded the paper back into its original shape and handed it to Bai Hong.

But Bai Hong didn’t take it. Her gaze was fixed on his face. First, she stared quietly and clearly, but then her eyes started to turn red and wet. Then she turned her face and sucked her nose. “Well, Shen Yan, will you be so indifferent? I know that you asked Xia Yu to come to me is to make sure that I wouldn’t get engaged with Jiang Tao. Isn’t it in your interest if I do not get engaged to him?”

“Yes, I really wanted Xia Yu to persuade you, as you said. It is really good for me, but isn’t it the same for you?” Shen Yan did not expect that Bai Hong would come and talk to him about the situation.

He could indeed sign a contract with Bai Family, but wouldn’t his relationship with the older brother become more rigid then? His brother might figure out more vicious tricks to deal with himself.

Of course, Shen Yan would not be afraid but just felt that some bad things must be avoided if possible.

“So, I didn’t even think to promise it directly then. But you also saw it that now my family is in a mess. You don’t want our family to suffer a big change, do you?” Since she regretted her marriage, Bai’s stock price had been plummeting. If her family really bankrupted, she had to live on air.

“It won’t be so serious, Bai Hong. It’s not that cooperating with Shen Yan is the only way out.” Xia Yu’s voice rang behind Bai Hong. She also rushed over here after receiving a call from Aunt Ma.

Bai Hong waited for a few hours in front of the house, and Shen Yan brought her home when he returned. After all, Shen Yan was the master, and Aunt Ma didn’t dare to go against his will.

But how about Xia Yu? Therefore, she called Xia Yu over the phone and took a picture of Bai Hong, to let Xia Yu hurry back to drive away from the fox spirit.

Xia Yu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh for Aunt Ma’s nervousness. She at first wanted to ignore her, but she thought that if Bai Hong had waited for six hours to see Shen Yan, she must have something very important.

At this time, the important thing for Bai Hong must be related to her recent regret of marriage. So Xia Yu came over. As soon as she came in, she heard Bai Hong talking with Shen Yan about cooperation, which confirmed her guess even more.

“If the Shen Family does not cooperate with our family, will you cooperate with us? Your family is doing catering business, and we have no room for cooperation.” Bai Hong turned to Xia Yu and said with a frown.

“If there is no room for cooperation with Ruyi Tower, how about working with Zhang Peng, Yang Ke’er, and the Jiang An? Can you cooperate with them?” Xia Yu smiled slightly, walked to the sofa and sat down.

“How is this possible?” Bai Hong rejected it immediately.

“Why isn’t it possible? Doing business is doing business. What does it have to do with your marriage?” Xia Yu continued, “Sometimes I really don’t understand why people marry for business. If only after being united by a marriage, then people can do business, many companies will close their doors. How many children could there be in one family that could have a marriage to form a partnership?

“You’re right. Then, it’s up to you to help me cooperate with Zhang Peng and Yang Ke’er and Jiang An.” Seeing that Xia Yu talked casually, seeming to have some way out, Bai Hong then gave this task to her.

“No problem. Do you choose to talk to them now? Or will you go to them tomorrow?” Xia Yu agreed.

The Bai family was very strong and had cooperated with the Zhang Family for so many years. They no longer cooperated just because the two’s plan of being united by marriages failed. In that case, Zhang Peng was guilty. As long as the Bai family agreed, he would definitely agree to it.

As for Yang Ke’er, let alone the Yang family would definitely support her, as Shen Mo climbed up the ladder, Shen and Yang must have parted, which meant the intertwined business between them would suffer a great loss, so they would cooperate with the Bai’s even out of their own interest.

Not to mention the Jiang An. The Old Madame Jiang was troubling all day at the excuse that Jiang An disregarded the interests of the company in sheer pursuit for the position of the president and he made Xia Yu disrupt the marriage between Jiang Tao and Bai’s family. As a result, her company lost the Bai’s good partner.

If the Bai’s signed the contract with Jiang An and blocked the Old Madame Jiang ‘s mouth directly, why would Jiang An refuse to do so? Xia Yu could be sure that he would definitely agree.

Having heard of such a business trick, Bai Hong was stunned and stared at Xia Yu for a moment, trying to see if Xia Yu was joking with her.

Seeing that Xia Yu couldn’t be more serious, Bai Hong swallowed and said, “Now can you find them all now?”

Bai Hong was not hasty, but, as she was scolded most often at home as the one who ruined the family and wouldn’t do anything other than eat, drink, and play, she really wanted to prove herself to her parents if she could succeed signing these three contracts.

She was so anxious to restore her image in front of her parents, so she could not wait any longer.

“Now they shouldn’t have slept yet. I’m calling to ask them.” Xia Yu called them one by one and briefly explained her intentions on the phone. As she expected, all three of them agreed to come.

That was it? Bai Hong’s excited heart throbbed. No wonder everyone said that Xia Yu was a business master. Her reaction was so quick that Bai Hong thought that she really should learn from her in the future.

It was half an hour away and all three of them came. Jiang An, who had no unpleasantness with Xia Yu, had a pleasant talk with her.

But Yang Ke’er and Bai Hong, who had been so good in the past, were somewhat uneasy at first because of the Zhang Peng’s affair. Fortunately, there were Xia Yu and Shen Yan, two communication experts at their side, and they soon broke the ice and started their discussion.
