Chapter 309: Giving Them One Last Chance?

“Deal!”

The two reached an agreement quickly. However, Sheng Minghui did not know that she was being monitored closely by her grandfather.

The driver sent by Grandpa Sheng took a picture of the two meeting at the bar and returned to Sheng Mansion. Right then, he went to Grandpa Sheng’s study to report what happened. “CEO Sheng, this is the picture I took. I didn’t expect Miss Minghui to be in touch with this woman.”

Grandpa Sheng paled when he saw the picture. “Huh. The two won’t be up to any good.”

“What should we do now?”

“Keep an eye on her. Although I don’t like Mu Qiqi, the event this time can double the profits of Huang Yao. So, Minghui must not be a hindrance to this event. It is also about time for me to arrange a place for her to go to.”

Grandpa Sheng was forgiving enough to Sheng Minghui already, but the lady still did not learn her lesson.

Today, during the meeting, after hearing how Mu Qiqi had made the arrangements, he must admit that this event was the most creative one within these few years. If it could be carried out smoothly, the sales they could make for next year would be unpredictable.

If Sheng Minghui was too short-sighted and narrow-minded and must go against Mu Qiqi, then he had no choice but to abandon her. Sacrifices must be made at some point in one’s life.

…

After Grandpa Sheng knew the two women were in touch, he made a call to Sheng Xiao. Although the grandfather and the grandson were rarely on the same page, Sheng Xiao was very willing to help him this time when Qi’er’s enemy was involved.

“I don’t know what Minghui and Shen Ruoyi were plotting, so you better make sure they won’t be able to spread the news. And send some men to keep an eye on the Liu family.”

“You should take care of those two first.”

After knowing this, Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but sigh. “I don’t expect that Shen Ruoyi is still delusional. What conspiracy can they plan?”

“Just keep an eye on them, then you’ll know.”

Sheng Xiao looked down at the little one. Seeing her playing with the model of a human heart, he smiled. “Your taste for the things you play with has become more exotic lately.”

“Are you scared?” Mu Qiqi showed him the heart model with a big smile. “Xiaoxiao, I will have to touch all sorts of body parts and bugs. Can’t you stand it already?”

“Are you provoking me?” Sheng Xiao grabbed the model and put it down. Then, he spanked her. “Are you hinting to me to bathe you more often each day?”

“No. I don’t want that.” Mu Qiqi protested. “Let go of me. I still need to study…”

“Sit on my lap.”

Mu Qiqi did not refuse his offer. It was more comfortable anyway.

Besides, Sheng Minghui was walking a path to her doom now. If it went on like this, Grandpa Sheng would soon be unable to stand her.

In fact, he could not stand her already.

…

After Sheng Minglan refused to let Jing Yun help her, she spent a lot of money to hire another all-round assistant. Although he was not someone she liked, his ability was equally outstanding.

Although she would find it a shame to miss Jing Yun sometimes, what could she do when Jing Yun’s heart would not open for her?

Sheng Minglan and the assistant work together pretty well, so Sheng Minglan started to grow trust in him.

Soon, they expanded their business abroad.

Sheng Minglan decided to attend the meeting abroad herself. And this time, she would go with her assistant for the business trip.

If things went well, she planned to stay there for about half a month. This way, she could also readjust her mood.

She did not tell anyone about her trip. In order to have less contact with Jing Yun, she seldom called Sheng Xiao now.

Mu Qiqi had finally found time to visit Fourth Sister. But when she went to her company, she only got to know that she had gone overseas.

Moreover, she had gone there with her assistant.

The assistant seemed to have a very good profile. And more importantly, he was still single. What if they clicked after being close to each other for some time?

Jing Yun was really making her worry.

When Mu Qiqi got home, she sat on the couch and sighed. Jing Yun that logwood was just so annoying!

Seeing Mu Qiqi was a bit low-spirited, Sheng Xiao guessed she must be worrying about someone.

“Xiaoxiao, tell me, why must Jing Yun live such a tiring life restricting himself so much? Fourth Sister has got a new handsome assistant. If he doesn’t make his move, Fourth Sister might become someone else’s soon.”

“No way, he is a deadlock.”

“I really want to annoy him, or else I’d be wasting my energy being angry with him.”

“It’s easy.”

The next day, Sheng Xiao deliberately mentioned Sheng Minglan’s new assistant in front of Jing Yun. “Luckily you are not with Fourth Sister. Otherwise, she would not be able to meet this fantastic assistant. Let’s see how fast they will get married.”

Jing Yun remained silent. But his heart ached.

His body and heart had never felt this tired.

He had been working overtime these days to forget his pain. But when Sheng Xiao inadvertently mentioned Sheng Minglan, his wound started bleeding again.

Sheng Xiao knew that he was very sad just by looking at his back.

But, he was the one who asked for it.

And what was rare was that Jing Yun fell sick the next day. He was so sick that he took a day off to rest at home.

If he could not bear the pain, why did he insist?

When Mu Qiqi knew he was sick, she pitied him. “You actually made him fall sick…”

“He is the one who works non stop these days. Who can he blame?” Sheng Xiao harrumphed.

“Why don’t we tell Fourth Sister? Consider giving them one last chance?”

“I’m too lazy!”

“If we don’t help, nobody would help them already.” Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao’s arms. “Let me text Fourth Sister.”

Sheng Xiao was too lazy to stop her.

Mu Qiqi took out her phone and texted Sheng Minglan. She told her that Sheng Xiao told Jing Yun that she might be together with her new assistant and Jing Yun felt sick after that.

Sheng Minglan had just finished her meeting when she read the message. She could not sit still anymore and asked her assistant to get a flight ticket immediately.

“But it’s late now…”

“Isn’t there a night flight?” Sheng Minglan was anxious. Perhaps she was worried that Jing Yun might get the wrong idea. Or maybe, she was worried about his health. Anyway, she wanted to go home now.

The assistant could not understand but he just went with the flow.

Seeing Sheng Minglan acting strange, he thought that it must be because of her lover.

…

On the other hand, Sheng Minghui did not know she was being monitored by Grandpa Sheng. So, she went to the bar to meet Shen Ruoyi at night.

“I have my cousin’s schedule. He will come home at six o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Then at night, he has a dinner meeting. I will make arrangements for you to come to the hotel.”
