Chapter 92: He Just Can’t Stand That You’re Taken

Shen Sheng forced himself to smile again and again, but in the end he could only leave the conference room with a darkened face.

Back in his office, he kicked everything inside over.

A bunch of old fossils, doing nothing all day except sitting around waiting for money, and they still had the nerve to pressure him.

If this had been under Shen Sheng's old style of handling things, he would have killed the one leading the trouble on the spot.

The secretary stood to one side, not daring to breathe.

The next second, Shen Sheng picked up a document and hurled it straight at her head.

Blood immediately began to run down her forehead, but she could only endure it.

"What are you standing there for? Go and fix this for me right now! What's the use of keeping you around? Useless trash!"

"Yes... I'll go at once."

Shen Sheng was furious enough to explode. He had always believed his own abilities were no worse than Shen Yan's. When he first took over, everything had gone smoothly, and it had seemed he would be able to keep things operating in such a calm and stable way. Who could have known that at the critical moment, something would go wrong?

Shen Yan. Ye Yaoyao.

He remembered those two.

Once he finished dealing with the matters at hand, he would make them pay the price.

What happened with Shen Sheng at the shareholders' meeting spread quickly.

Of course, that had been Ye Yaoyao's doing, and she had even held back.

If she had not worried about exposing her identity, she could have made Shen Sheng step down in one move.

Still, it was almost there. It was only a matter of time.

Ye Qian had been badly injured this time and needed to recover in the hospital.

After work each day, Ye Yaoyao went to see him, bringing food with her.

Liu Ruyan never appeared from beginning to end. Ye Qian could not help complaining, "Am I really not Mom's biological son? Why hasn't she come to see me at all?"

Ye Yaoyao stuffed food into his mouth. "Mom is just too worried about you. She's afraid she'll feel heartbroken if she sees you, so she doesn't dare come."

"She wouldn't feel heartbroken over me."

Ye Qian sighed softly, then took up the thread half-jokingly. "In Mom's heart, only you're her precious darling. Only you're worth feeling sorry for."

"So Second Brother is jealous?" Ye Yaoyao asked playfully.

"Of course I'm not jealous. You're the Ye family's darling together."

Ye Yaoyao's coaxing worked very well on Ye Qian. He raised a hand and touched her cheek. "You're my darling."

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Shen Yan stood there with a dark face.

He sensed that something was off.

Ye Yaoyao and Ye Shen should not be in that kind of relationship; otherwise, how could Ye Qian openly and unabashedly be so affectionate with her?

Liu Ruyan, the two Ye brothers, Ye Yaoyao...

What exactly was the relationship among the three of them?

But whatever the relationship, the closeness before his eyes stabbed painfully at Shen Yan's eyes.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ye Yaoyao turned to look. Glancing at Shen Yan and then at Ye Qian, she immediately understood that he was doing this on purpose.

With helpless indulgence, Ye Yaoyao shook her head, then turned back and continued feeding Ye Qian.

The next second, Shen Yan grabbed her wrist, his expression storm-dark.

"Ye Yaoyao, do you take me for dead?!"

"Shen Yan, let go of her!" Ye Qian glared at Shen Yan.

If Ye Yaoyao had not had an ambiguous attitude toward Shen Yan, he would already have beaten the man to death.

That brat was not human!

Worried about Ye Qian's injuries, Ye Yaoyao hurried to stop him. "Don't. Don't get up. You're hurt."

As soon as the words fell, she turned to Shen Yan, her face frosted over with coldness. "If there's anything to say, let's go outside."

Ye Yaoyao's attitude toward the two of them was worlds apart.

A tight knot of anger lodged in Shen Yan's chest, but he still walked toward the door.

Ye Yaoyao closed the door and followed Shen Yan to the end of the corridor.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Shen Yan: ?

Fine. She greeted other men with smiles, but with him there was only endless coldness, was there?

Considering that the situation really was unfavorable to him right now, Shen Yan could only endure it.

"The matter with Shen Sheng, was that you?"

"What did I do?"

Ye Yaoyao played dumb. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Ye Yaoyao, don't try to brush me off!"

Shen Yan seized her wrist. He had thought that after this period of time together, they had grown closer, but everything had only ever been what he thought.

How much time had passed?

And their relationship had already returned to that distant state.

"What am I pretending about?" Ye Yaoyao still wore that puzzled expression.

She knew the Shen brothers were not easy to fool.

Both of them could guess who had struck this time.

But so what?

If they had the ability, let them strike back. She would withstand it all.

On the surface, though, Ye Yaoyao intended to act as if she knew nothing, letting the two of them stew in anxious frustration.

Shen Yan stared at Ye Yaoyao for a long while. Realizing that he would not pry anything from her mouth, he resignedly let go.

Ye Yaoyao smoothed her hair and did not rush to leave, waiting for Shen Yan's next words.

"Shen Sheng is a madman. If you push him too hard, there is nothing he won't do."

Shen Yan's voice softened. "If you get involved, he'll remember you for the rest of his life."

At that, Ye Yaoyao blinked. Had she heard wrong?

She actually heard concern in this man's tone?

Was he worried about her?

Suppressing the stirrings in her heart, Ye Yaoyao said, "Then I already have his hatred."

She was referring to what had happened earlier, when she had rushed to the Shen Group and slapped Shen Sheng.

"When are you going back to the Shen Group?" Ye Yaoyao asked the key question.

"At the earliest, a week."

There had been trouble on Shen Sheng's side, and those elders in the Shen family had wasted no time calling him one after another.

Before, the old matriarch of the Shen family had praised Shen Sheng's abilities to the heavens, and those people had believed it too, doing everything they could to drag Shen Yan down from his position.

Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, and knew Shen Sheng was inferior to him in business matters, they were again eager for him to return, as though they had already forgotten what came before.

Hmph. People whose eyes saw only profit.

"Then I wish you smooth sailing."

After tossing out those words, Ye Yaoyao waved at Shen Yan and left without looking back.

Shen Yan watched her departing figure, and after only a second of calm, he thought of her going to accompany another man. The flames in his chest burned once more.

Because of interference, Shen Yan could find no information whatsoever about Ye Yaoyao's identity.

But he had someone by his side who was very familiar with Ye Yaoyao.

With nothing from the Shen Group to keep him busy, Feng Yuqi had far more free time. Whenever he had time, he either went to the boxing gym or accompanied Yu Wanqing on dates.

At that moment, his task was to accompany Yu Wanqing on a date.

However, the next second, he received Shen Yan's call. "Where are you?"

"Shopping with my girl," Feng Yuqi said truthfully.

Shen Yan could not help but laugh coldly when he heard that. Shopping with his girl?

Under the current circumstances with Ye Yaoyao, Feng Yuqi was still out shopping with his girl?

In the spirit of standing together as brothers in misfortune to the end, Shen Yan naturally chose to interrupt their date.

Shen Yan gave the order. "Come see me. I have something important to tell you."

"Got it, Brother Yan. I'll be there right away."

Feng Yuqi hung up and looked at Yu Wanqing with guilt. "Brother Yan needs me for something."

Yu Wanqing was unhappy. "Shen Yan is doing this on purpose. What could he possibly need when he's already been removed from office? He just can't stand seeing you with a girlfriend. He's jealous!"
