When she reached the door, Mrs. Shen noticed a group of men standing outside. Moreover, all of them looked unfamiliar. In that instant, her expression changed abruptly as she said, “Yue, close the doors quickly.”
Shen Yue could not react in time. As such, Mrs. Shen raised her hand in an attempt to close the door. However, they were too slow as somebody had taken a step forward and stopped the door from closing by placing his hand on it.
Mrs. Shen tried her best to close the door but to no avail. She was so frightened that she staggered backward. Seeing as Shen Yue was standing beside the door in a dumbfounded manner, she quickly took a step forward and pulled Shen Yue behind her.
Then, she bellowed, “What do you guys think you are doing?! Let me tell you this, I am penniless at the moment. If you guys want the money, you should look for my other daughter. She is the Young Lady of the Ye Family. She can give you all a lot of money!”
When the leader of the group—a dignified-looking man with a cold aura—heard the way she addressed her daughter as the Young Lady of the Ye Family, he frowned. “What did you say?”
Mrs. Shen was stunned as she narrowed her eyes. “What’s the matter? Don’t you believe me? I know you guys are here to collect the debts, right? I told you already that I do not have the money. If you guys want it, you have to look for my elder daughter. She is the Young Lady of the Ye Family. No matter how much money you want, she can give it to you.”
“Mom!” Shen Yue looked at the man who seemed to be the leader of the group. She pondered for a moment before she said, “I don’t think he is a debt collector. You shouldn’t talk nonsense anymore.” With that, Shen Yue pushed her mother away gently as she approached the man and smiled. “I am sorry. My mother has been sick for the last two days. As such, she is a bit muddle-headed right now and is spouting a lot of nonsense. May I know who you guys are?”
Clack! Clack! At that moment, a woman in heels appeared from behind. After learning about the situation, she smiled and said, “Miss Shen, I am sorry for bothering your family, but I do not have any bad intentions in mind. In addition to that, I am not here to collect your debts. So, both of you can rest easy.” With that, Su Jiu handed her name card to Shen Yue. “My name is Su Jiu.”
Shen Yue took the name card from her in a dubious manner and looked at it. When she saw that Su Jiu was the secretary of President Han of the Han Group, her eyes gleamed.
If we were talking about the most famous company in North City, naturally it had to be the Ye Group. However, Han Group was only second to Ye Group. Though, if they were to be more aggressive, they would be able to surpass them. The only thing stopping them was the fact that Ye Moxuan was handling the affairs of the Ye Group. On the other hand, the Han Group was still lacking behind him. However, that did not affect the Han Group’s position in the North City at all.
Moreover, Shen Qi was best friends with Han Xueyou last time. Back then, Shen Yue really envied her. She was envious of the fact that Han Xueyou was the forgotten Young Lady of the Han Group. She even fantasized multiple times before that somebody would tell her one day that she was the forgotten Young Lady of the Han Group as well and ask her to go back and inherit it. How great would that be?
“Nice to meet you.” Seeing as the other party was the secretary of the Han Group, Shen Yue’s attitude immediately took a 180 degrees turn. She quickly kept the name card and turned her attention toward the elegant man standing behind her. “May I know what brings you here today?”
Su Jiu smiled, her gaze falling upon Mrs. Shen, who was standing not far away behind her. “Miss Shen, we have something to ask Mrs. Shen here.”
Only then did Mrs. Shen realize that they were not here to collect their debts, and she shrugged helplessly. That was because she was continuously harassed by debt collectors recently, hence she was scared out of her wits when she saw the group of people standing outside her doorstep. As such, she subconsciously felt that the other party came looking for her to collect the debts. However, she did not expect…
“Yue, do you know these people?” With that, Mrs. Shen’s gaze fell upon the man’s face in a suspicious manner.
The dark colored suit outlined his slender body. Moreover, he had a handsome face as well. You could see that he wasn’t an ordinary person from the way he carried himself in a dignified manner. How could ordinary people have such an aura? It was an aura of a person who had been in a position of power for quite a long time.
Once she knew that they weren’t here to collect their debts, Mrs. Shen immediately changed the way she acted around them. “They are our guests. Please come in quickly. Yue, hurry up and make some tea for our guests.”
Shen Yue immediately reacted. She quickly smiled and nodded her head. “Okay, Mom. I will go immediately.” Then, she went to make some tea. On the other hand, Mrs. Shen invited Han Qing inside.
There wasn’t a single expression on Han Qing’s face ever since he walked in through that door and took his seat. Not a single emotion could be seen in his eyes. At this moment, Shen Yue deliberately leaned against him when she came over with the tea. Han Qing frowned as he avoided her touch in a smooth manner.
Is this the right family? Han Qing raised his eyes, thereupon his stern gaze swept over Shen Yue and Mrs. Shen. They were completely different from what he had imagined. After all, Shen Qi was a totally different person compared to them when she was in front of him.
Su Jiu was Han Qing’s secretary, and she was a smart person as well. So how could she miss the changes in Shen Yue and Mrs. Shen’s attitude?
“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Shen. Actually, President Han wants to ask you a few questions. However…” She looked at Shen Yue as she smiled casually and continued, “There are some important questions here, so can I trouble you to leave and wait outside for a moment, Miss Shen?”
When they heard this, both of their expressions underwent a series of changes. After their gazes met, Shen Yue quickly sat beside her mother and pressed her lips together. Then, she said, “I am her daughter. Is there anything that I cannot know? Or, did my mother do something wrong? If so, I shall apologize to you all on her behalf. Please don’t make things difficult for her.”
Mrs. Shen hugged her daughter tightly, extremely moved at that moment. “That’s right. Yue is my biological daughter, so there is nothing that she cannot listen to. You guys should tell me outright what it is that you guys want.”
Han Qing remained silent. However, there were some obvious changes in his aura. His gaze fell upon Shen Yue’s face quietly. “Miss Shen, I think you are misunderstanding something here. I came here to ask Mrs. Shen a few questions. Also, your mother did not offend us. If it’s alright, can you please leave?”
His gaze seemed to be pulling her in. The moment their gazes met, Shen Yue immediately felt that she was charmed. Initially, she wanted to stay back and hear more of his thoughts. However, she was lost in his deep and masculine voice at that moment as she nodded her head shyly under his intense gaze.
“Okay. Mom, President Han, you guys can have a chat first. I will go out and buy some drinks. I will be back soon.”
How could Mrs. Shen not know what her daughter was thinking? She thought to herself that Shen Yue had a boyfriend, so how could she flirt with another man like that? Moreover, her current boyfriend was rich, though he was nothing compared to the man before her.
If only… Mrs. Shen had started scheming in her mind. Then, she smiled and nodded her head. “Okay, Yue. You may go then. Come back soon.”
After Shen Yue left, Mrs. Shen smiled brightly as she looked at the stern-looking Han Qing who was sitting opposite her. “President Han, you can ask me any questions you want now.”
Han Qing’s gaze was cold. He remained silent for quite some time before he gave Su Jiu a look.
Su Jiu immediately understood, then took out a photo that she had prepared and placed it on the table.
