Chapter 305: Why Don’t We Make a Deal?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Hanyu didn’t say much and went straight to the point.

Zhen Yiping was a person who was used to big surprises, and had long been able to remain calm in the face of change.

He had already expected that Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian’s relationship wasn’t so simple. However, he was still shocked by Shen Hanyu’s straightforwardness, and was speechless for a while.

Zhen Yiping digested Shen Hanyu’s words with some difficulty. He picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea for the both of them while slowly saying, “You mean you want me to go with you to the Sang family and bring Miss Sang back?”

Shen Hanyu nodded. “Her family is very unhappy that I hid her identity. They are also more or less concerned about the difference in status. I would like to trouble Uncle to make a trip there and let Qianqian’s family know regarding the Zhen family’s attitude.” “If your maternal grandmother knew of this matter, she would definitely say that your request is extremely preposterous.”

Zhen Yiping thought about his mother’s possible reaction and laughed. “She’ll definitely say that you and Miss Sang are only getting back together, and doing all that was unnecessary. Even if you really want to ask for her hand in marriage, I’m afraid that I won’t even be able to go there personally.”

Shen Hanyu smiled. “That’s why I’m here to see Uncle, not Grandmother.”

…..

“You seem so confident that I’ll agree?”

Zhen Yiping picked up the teacup and slowly sipped the tea. He smiled faintly and said, “What if I don’t want to go?”

“Uncle will definitely go,” Shen Hanyu replied. “Unless you and Grandmother are willing to see me cut off all ties with the Zhen family.”

Zhen Yiping stopped drinking his tea, and the smile on his face froze. “Are you threatening Uncle?”

“I don’t dare. I’m telling you this because I don’t want to hurt you and grandmother’s hearts.”

Shen Hanyu replied calmly, “That day, grandmother insisted that I stay in the capital. I stayed not only to accompany Grandmother, but also to avoid Qianqian. Now that I’ve recovered, I’ll naturally be wherever she is. If Grandmother and Uncle are insistently against me and Qianqian being together, then I can only imitate Mother’s actions back then.”

Zhen Yiping’s eyes became sharp as he stared at Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu didn’t avoid his look, and simply held a calm expression.

Actually, the nephew and uncle’s facial features were a little similar. They were well-defined, as if they were carved, and there was a hint of calmness and nobleness in their eyes.

Zhen Yiping must have already had an outstanding appearance when he was young, and after being the head of the Zhen family for such a long time, he held a more dignified look on his face. Whenever he wasn’t smiling, there would be an indescribable pressure. Unfortunately, when this kind of pressure fell on Shen Hanyu, it was like falling into a bottomless pool. It only dissolved silently and brought no effect at all.

On the other hand, Zhen Yiping could see the unshakeable determination in Shen Hanyu’s eyes.

He suddenly recalled the last time he saw his sister, Zhen Yixin, many years ago.

At that time, he was ordered by his parents to persuade his sister. For a long time, he tried to have her accept reality where she must forget Shen Shaofeng and accept her marriage engagement.

Zhen Yixin smiled. “I understand, Brother. You can go back now.”

When Zhen Yiping left, he took a few steps and turned back worriedly. “Yixin, have you really thought it through?”

Zhen Yixin looked at him quietly and nodded. “Yes, I’ve thought it through.”

At that time, her eyes were exactly the same as Shen Hanyu’s- calm and determined.

The next day, she left the Zhen family with Fang Hongyi’s help, and there was no news of her ever since.

It was a pity that Zhen Yiping was too young at that time and didn’t understand what his sister’s gaze meant.

Otherwise, he might have been able to prevent the tragedy of separation, and his father would not have died with regrets…

Zhen Yiping’s expression finally softened a little. “Hanyu, your grandmother is getting sicker these few years. Do you think she can take the same blow again?”

“Thus, bringing Qianqian back is the best choice.”

Shen Hanyu’s voice was steady. “Didn’t you always want me to get married and have a grandson? Qianqian is the only suitable person.”

Zhen Yiping was triggered by the words “the only suitable”.

He looked at his nephew deeply. “Must it be her?”

“No one else but her.”

Every word was loud and clear.

Zhen Yiping shook his head and sighed. Like mother, like son. This child was just the same as Yixin.

If he rejected his request, the Zhen family would definitely face another storm.

Fortunately, Old Lady Zhen had said that as long as Sang Qianqian’s background was clean and Hanyu was truly in love with her, then she could be considered.

It was just that it would take a lot of effort to convince Old Lady Zhen to accept Sang Qianqian.

Of course, he was the only one who could do that.

“Let’s put aside the matter of Miss Sang for now.”

Zhen Yiping put down his teacup, “Uncle has always had a question. I want to hear your true thoughts on this.”

Shen Hanyu poured him more tea. “Please, go ahead.”

“Previously, your grandmother gave you a portion of the Zhen family’s shares, but you refused. She wanted you to follow me and familiarize yourself with the Zhen family’s business, but you rejected her again.”

Zhen Yiping looked at Shen Hanyu inquisitively. “However, you took charge of the company in iMing City the moment you recovered. Why is that? Do you still want to go back to Phoenix?”

“I couldn’t manage it in the past because of my health. It’s time for me to go back now.”

Shen Hanyu’s eyebrows furrowed at the mention of Phoenix.

If he didn’t talk to Guo Muyang, he wouldn’t have known that in the past few months when he didn’t care about Phoenix, several of the company’s overseas key projects had encountered big and small problems.

Although the aftermath had been properly resolved, the progress of the project was slower than the original plan.

Guo Muyang was too steady in his work, which was his strength, but also his fatal weakness.

He rejected almost all of the more radical methods, which directly caused Phoenix to miss many opportunities. They were more than capable of defending, but they were not able to develop.

Shen Hanyu had to go back if Phoenix wanted to take it to the next level and stabilize its position in the industry.

“You should also know what your maternal grandmother’s intention was for doing that. To tell you the truth, I really hope you can stay and help me.”

Zhen Yiping said meaningfully, “In terms of scale, the business under the Zhen family’s name can’t be compared to ten phoenixes. In terms of influence, even a hundred phoenixes would not be able to compete. Hanyu, if you want to start a business, why don’t you accept your grandmother’s good intentions?”

“That’s not my dream,” Shen Hanyu said. “I still prefer Phoenix.”

Zhen Yiping didn’t say anything. He picked up his teacup and started to drink again, feeling a sense of defeat.

With the Zhen family’s huge family business, anyone would be tempted, but this nephew of his was not the least bit interested.

“Your grandmother’s health is not good. If you insist on refusing her and something really ends up happening, I don’t think Miss Sang will be at ease.”

After a long while, Zhen Yiping finally spoke slowly, “Hanyu, why don’t we make a deal? I’ll accompany you to the Sang family and bring Miss Sang back. In exchange, how about you give up on Phoenix and stay in the Zhen family to assist me.. What do you think?”
