I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating-Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Shen Qingxue blushed with anger. How dare that despicable person without parents try to compete with her? She wanted to argue.

Shen Dalian quickly held onto his daughter. “Qingxue didn’t mean it that way. We are all family, why talk about grabbing or not? Let’s not ruin the harmony.”

Shen Qingyue smiled. “Yes, if Shen Qingxue could speak half as well as you, Uncle Tang, she wouldn’t be disliked everywhere she goes!”

Shen Qingxue retorted, “You…”

“Shut up!” Shen Dberated his daughter and got down to business. “Qingyue, I heard that you’ve taken over the project for the banquet. How did your discussion with President Wang go tonight?”

They had already made arrangements for this matter, but when Shen Yiyan called Wang Ping to confirm it, Wang Ping actually went missing! He really had no choice but to bring Shen Qingxue over and let this girl act coquettishly to plead with the Old Master. In the end, that old fart actually refused.

Shen Qingyue smiled faintly. “It went smoothly.”

Shen Da dismissed her words as an act of putting on airs. “You don’t have to hide it from me. The contract hasn’t been signed, right? That project isn’t suitable for a newcomer like you. Just hand it over to Yiyuan. After all, the money we earn in the end belongs to the Shen family.”

“Yes, the money belongs to the Shen family.” Shen Qingyue looked directly at him and then took out a document from her bag, waving it in front of him. “The contract has been signed. Uncle, don’t worry about it. By the way, please relay a message to Brother Yiyuan. Mr. Wang said to be careful on his own…”

Shen Dalian had a bad feeling. “Careful about what?”

“Who knows? Brother Yiyan was loyal to the Chen family and should have never done anything wrong, so what was there to be careful of? Why don’t you go and ask him, Uncle? Tang” Shen Qingyue looked like she was watching a good show.

Shen Dalian forced a dry laugh. “Qingyue, just trust Yiyan.”

Shen Qingyue did not respond, only saying, “Take care, Uncle Tang!”

Shen Da watched Shen Qingyue’s figure and completely dropped the pretense.

The next day, as soon as Shen Qingyue arrived at the office, before she could say anything, she heard footsteps behind her. Shen Yiyan appeared, bombarding her with questions. “Wang Ping didn’t answer my calls or messages. What did you do to him? Did he say something he shouldn’t have last night?”

Shen Qingyue looked up at him. “Something he shouldn’t have said? What kind of leverage does Brother Yiyan have in his hands?”

Only then did Shen Yiyan realize that he had been too anxious. He tried to calm himself down. “It’s nothing. You should go back to work.”

With that, he left in a hurry.

Yu Zhuang walked to Shen Qingyue’s side and asked doubtfully, “Why didn’t you expose Shen Yiyan? If Old Master Shen found out, he would definitely not let this matter go easily.”

Shen Qingyue joked, “Because I’m kind-hearted.”

In fact, Shen Yiyuan had taken kickbacks from a project worth a billion yuan, pocketing around five million. But for the current Shen family, that amount was negligible. It was like a relative’s child stealing 100 yuan from you. At most, you would scold them a few times. Punishing Shen Yiyan like that wouldn’t shake his foundation. What she wanted was to eliminate all these people like Shen Yiyuan!

…

Because the Shen Group and the Qin Group had renewed their contracts, Shen Qingyue took half a day off and went to the Qin Group with her colleagues. It was a good time to settle the divorce. However, when she entered the reception room, she was told that Qin Zhen had gone out to deal with something.

Shen Qingyue frowned, “Where did he go?”

The secretary knew that she was Qin Zhen’s wife, so she stammered, “It’s not convenient for me to say this…”

Shen Qingyue’s eyes flashed and she sneered, “Do you have his phone number?”

The secretary hesitated for a moment before giving Qin Zhen’s phone number.

Shen Qingyue dialed the phone number.

The man’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone. “Who is it?”

“It’s Shen Qingyue!” Shen Qingyue’s voice carried obvious dissatisfaction. “Where are you? Qin Zhen, I’m not joking. I don’t care what you want to do, but can you please be punctual and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau first to finalize the divorce? Are you the only busy person while everyone else is idle?”

Qin Zhen remained silent for a moment before saying, “Jiu’er is coming back today, and I’m picking her up from the airport. We have other arrangements afterward…”

With that, he hung up the phone without caring about Shen Qingyue’s response.

Shen Qingyue looked at the phone and, for the first time, had the urge to curse him like an uncivilized person. But after a moment of consideration, she couldn’t help but think, This f*cking bastard wasted a whole day of my time!
