Chapter 74: Just Because You Lack Shame?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Big brother, I’m not a child anymore. I’m an adult now, and it’s normal to change tastes after having innocent relationships in the past. Besides, our family is not lacking money…” Chen Ying felt that Chen Song was making a big deal out of it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Song slammed on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
“Why did you stop the car?” Chen Ying was puzzled, but when she turned her head, she saw Chen Song’s enlarged face. Then, she felt a warmth on her lips— it was her big brother’s lips! Did her big brother just kiss her? She had never seen Chen Song so dominant and forceful before. She desperately tried to break free, but she could not get away. She was utterly stunned.
Today’s Chen Song was completely different from his usual gentleness; he even bit her.
The smell of blood filled the air between them, and Chen Song finally let go of her.
“Chen Song!” Chen Ying covered her mouth and slapped him. “Have you gone crazy?”
“You’re scared now? Are you capable of being scared?” Chen Song turned his face away. “If you had gone with that person today, you would have faced even worse situations. He might have taken pictures to threaten you…”
“So what? Is this the way you let me know? Couldn’t you have just talked to me nicely?” Chen Ying interrupted him, her mind in chaos. How could Chen Song kiss her? Since their parents brought Chen Song back, she had treated him like a real brother. How could he do this?
“Do you listen when I talk nicely to you?” Chen Song turned to look at her, and the two of them remained in a standoff, neither saying a word.
Back at home, Shen Qingyue still could not stop thinking about Chen Ying.
After all, she had called Chen Song over tonight, worried that they might argue. However, when she asked Chen Ying later, she remained silent for a long time before replying with a casual ‘It’s nothing, I’ll just go to sleep.’
Shen Qingyue sensed that it could not be that simple, but since Chen Ying did not want to talk, she refrained from pressing further.
When she arrived at work, Shen Qingyue saw that Tong Jia had come in with an injury today, with gauze wrapped around her forehead. “What happened?”
Tong Jia covered her head and said, “It’s nothing, I accidentally bumped into a table yesterday.”
Shen Qingyue frowned. “If someone bullies you, you have to fight back. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re an easy target, and it will only get worse next time.”
Tong Jia nodded but did not say anything else.
Shen Qingyue could tell that Tong Jia was the type to keep things to herself and would not talk about her troubles. All she could say was, “If it gets really bad, call the police. If you have difficulties, seek help from the police. Do you understand?”
Tong Jia did not answer, only saying, “President Shen, don’t worry, I know what to do. I’ll get to work first.”
Shen Qingyue did not press further and went back to work as well. After a while, she was notified of an impromptu meeting by Hong Dou, so she got up and went, but just as she left, she saw Qin Zhen rushing in.
“Ten minutes, let’s talk,” he said in a hurry.
Shen Qingyue glanced at the time and said, “I don’t have ten minutes to talk with you. I remember that I’ve already found a project manager to cooperate with Qin Group. You don’t need to come directly to me every time you have something.”
“Do you know what I want to talk to you about? Can’t you spare just ten minutes?” Qin Zhen was really anxious. He had spent the whole night devising an emergency plan, but the prerequisite was that Shen Qingyue had to cooperate.
“I have an impromptu meeting. If you’re really in such a hurry, Qin Zhen, why don’t you wait for a while?” Shen Qingyue said and called for Tong Jia, heading straight to the conference room.
Qin Zhen waited with an unpleasant expression, and he waited for more than two hours! Was that what she called ‘a while’? As his patience was wearing thin, Shen Qingyue finally arrived, leisurely.
“Oh, Qin Zhen, you’re still here? Seems like you’re really in a hurry,” Shen Qingyue remarked casually.
Using his habitual commanding tone, Qin Zhen said, “The matter about the cemetery, what can I do to make you give up on it? As you know, the villa area has already started construction. It can’t be stopped!”
Shen Qingyue smiled cryptically, “Well, your villa’s construction area can’t be stopped, but so is my cemetery. Life and death is an endless cycle, death comes for everyone, right?”
“Shen Qingyue! Do you have to be so extreme?” Qin Zhen growled.
Shen Qingyue sneered, “Qin Zhen, just because someone is loud doesn’t mean they are right. When you question me, think about what you’ve done! Is what you did not extreme? You didn’t leave me any way out, and now you want me to be merciful, on what grounds? Just because you lack shame?”
Qin Zhen felt like a dumb person who had to swallow bitterness. Even if he clarifies the matter now and denies his involvement, Shen Qingyue would still see it as him making excuses! His lips tightened into a straight line, and he remained silent for a long time before finally saying, “I apologize for that incident! ”
He had always been proud and arrogant. With his nature, offering an apology to others was the greatest sign of sincerity..
