Right as Shen Qi reached for the envelope, it fell right next to her feet. She was stunned for a moment before she bent down and took the envelope.
When she opened the envelope, she found a post-wedding disclaimer.
“Sign it!” Ye Moxuan’s voice was void of emotion. She glanced at him only to be met with his dark eyes as she immediately scanned through the document.
“You and your sister are both burdens. I’ll only give you 6 months. After 6 months, I want you to leave the Ye Family along with this contract and the check. I don’t want you to ever come back to this place,” Ye Moxuan announced as he set a check on the table.
Shen Qi felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water onto her when she saw the check.
She’d wanted to apologize as a way to reject it initially. However, she’d never thought that he had already prepared the contract as well as the check.
“I’m sure the amount of money will be enough to satisfy your pride, huh?”
Shen Qi’s grip on the contract tightened, her fingertips turning white as she took a pen and signed her name at the bottom of the contract before putting it back into the envelope and walked toward him.
Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows raised with satisfaction. “It is the easiest to deal with gold diggers like you.”
The next minute, Shen Qi slammed the contract onto the table. Ye Moxuan frowned in displeasure.
“Do not think that you can buy me off with money! My only intention was to get what I needed in the Ye Family in the first place! I’m grateful that you did not force me to abort this child but this doesn’t mean that you can humiliate me with money!”
“Pfft!” Mo Yexuan snorted, his eyes taunting. “I thought women like you view money as their lifeline?”
“You!” Shen Qi clenched her fists; she wanted to quarrel with him so badly. However, she unclenched her fists after a while and chuckled lightly. “Well, since that’s how you see me, then so be it. After all, we are just benefitting off each other anyway. I’ve signed the contract so don’t worry I will leave when it’s time for me to do so.”
She must find a way to solve her problem before the contract ended.
“Good, I’ll be anticipating the day you leave.”
Shen Qi immediately took her leave, ignoring the check on the table.
Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes.
The amount of money on the check wasn’t small, so how could she not spare any second glances at all? Was it an act or… was she really not interested in money?
If she wasn’t interested in money, what was the real reason for her to marry into the Ye Family then?
After signing the contract, Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan tried to get along, staying together as per the contract. This had reduced the amount of bickering they used to have and she still worked at Ye Moxuan’s company as an assistant under Old Master Ye’s orders.
Shen Qi wasn’t stupid and was capable of handling her job. She’d never waste an opportunity for her to learn.
Xiao Su changed his impression toward the girl in less than a week.
“Young Master Ye, she’s actually good at this!”
Ye Moxuan chuckled coldly. “Are you sure?”
Xiao Su nodded. “She did all the work that you gave her well.”
Indeed, her work was neat and concise.
“How could someone who pulled strings to get into the Ye Family be dumb?”
Xiao Su choked at his answer. He did not say anything else and went to check his schedule instead. “There’s a banquet tonight; are you going to bring Miss Shen?”
“Bring her?” Ye Moxuan tapped rhythmically on the table, his eyes not leaving his laptop. “Do I want to bring her to humiliate myself?”
Xiao Su immediately shut up, not daring to say anything else.
After a bit more small talk, Xiao Su prepared to leave as well.
Suddenly, Ye Moxuan spoke up. “Get Shen Qi to come to my office.”
“Alright.” Xiao Su couldn’t help but pout as he left the office.
Why does Young Master Ye keep contradicting himself? He was just talking about how she was embarrassing but now he wants me to call her into his office? Is he going to bring her to the banquet?
Shen Qi’s office was just right next to them. She was still handling some documents when Xiao Su went to get her.
“Give me two minutes, I’ll be right over.”
“Are you courting death?” Xiao Su chided. “How dare you make Young Master Ye wait for you?!”
Shen Qi could only frown and put her documents down as she took a deep breath. “I’ll go now.”
Then, she got up and headed to Mo Yexuan’s office.
Right after Shen Qi entered his office, Xiao Su went to hide behind the doors to eavesdrop.
“Are you looking for me, Young Master Ye?” Ye Moxuan had allowed her to work in the company with the condition that no one else must know about their relationship. In the company, she would only be his assistant; that was all it was to it. She must address him as Young Master Ye in the company just like everyone else.
Shen Qi felt that it was strange initially. However, after addressing him as Young Master Ye for quite some time, she’d gotten used to it as well.
Ye Moxuan said nothing, instead throwing a golden envelope in her direction.
Shen Qi was taken aback before taking the envelope and scanning through its contents. Then, she asked, “Are you going to the banquet?” The gears in Shen Qi’s brain started churning as something different shone in her eyes. “I remember that Lu Group is on the invitation list. If I’m not mistaken, they will be attending this banquet as well. Young Master Ye, you can take this opportunity to show your interest in working with them.”
Faint admiration shone in Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
Hmm, seems like this woman really has a good memory and reacts fast!
“Alright.”
“I’ll go prepare the documents for you, Young Master Ye.”
“You’re going with me.”
Shen Qi was preparing to leave when she heard what Ye Moxuan said. Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and stared at him with confusion. “You’re asking for me to go with you, Young Master Ye?”
“I do not have the interest to talk about business during a banquet. You should do it for me instead.”
Shen Qi finally understood what he meant as she nodded. “I understand. I’ll introduce myself to President Lu later then. I’ll be going if you don’t need my assistance anymore.”
“There’s something else.” Ye Moxuan scanned her coldly as he sized her up from top to the bottom, making her feel uncomfortable as she squeezed her legs together subconsciously.
