I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 82: No more cutting and sorting out, it’s still chaos

Shen Qingrou's heart skipped a beat. If even her father was so suspicious of her, her stepmother would surely be suspicious of her to death!

No, no, this needs to be explained, lest those two old folks start speculating.

"Old Shen, what do you think I can plan? What do I need to plan?"

You tell everyone that I am the future successor of the Shen Group. How can I take on such a huge responsibility?

Can we be more careful with our words in the future, and not make assumptions?

Do you think I'm suitable to be the chairman?

I advise you not to act on your emotions.

Shen Qianfeng said with a look of sudden realization, "So, you deliberately distanced yourself from me, deliberately angered me, and deliberately put on a carefree and cynical attitude just to discourage me from making you the successor of the Shen family?"

Shen Qingrou said seriously, "Do I need to pretend? I'm just showing you the real me."

I have many strengths, but I also have many weaknesses.

I know that you have high hopes for me because of your feelings for my biological mother.

But that's not what I want.

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you.

Shen Qianfeng insisted, "No, I've never felt that you've disappointed me."

The Shen family property is yours, it must be yours, no matter how you perform.

I know that you've suddenly become so motivated because of Ye Cheng; you want to help him realize his potential.

So you can't keep up the act of being颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or decadent) anymore.

All I want to tell you now is that the Shen family is yours, and who you choose to hand it over to in the future is your prerogative.

I will support whatever decision you make.

Shen Qingrou was getting a little frantic: "How can you do this to your stepmother?"

Shen Qianfeng seemed to see right through Shen Qingrou: "I know you have concerns, but this is something your stepmother and I discussed together."

She fully understands my decision.

Shen Qingrou really wanted to question her father: Do you know you've been deceived? How can you trust your second wife so much?

How could she not cooperate with you? All the power is in your hands, Chairman Shen.

I'm afraid that if she shows even the slightest reluctance, she will lose everything in the Shen Group.

But what you're doing is really harming your daughter!

No one will easily give up everything they have gained.

She openly dared not resist, but secretly she had already begun to plot. If your daughter hadn't noticed early on and started to show weakness, she probably wouldn't even know how she died!

You self-righteous, senile old fool!

You thought this was love for your daughter, but little did you know it was poison!

"Alright, I'm not interested in that!"

"If you remain obstinate, I will fight to the end!" Shen Qingrou said resolutely.

Unfazed by Shen Qingrou's threats, Shen Qianfeng instead appeared confident and assured her, "Say what you will, I have a plan."

Shen Qingrou was puzzled: "Do you have any ideas, sir?"

Shen Qianfeng feigned mystery: "Anyway, I know your weakness."

Shen Qingrou looked on in astonishment: "Are you going to threaten to kill yourself?"

If her father really does that, she will most likely compromise.

Despite her playful banter, she would never joke about her elderly father's life.

At worst, let her stepmother kill her; that would be fulfilling her filial duty as a daughter.

Shen Qianfeng seemed to have a flash of inspiration: "That's a good idea too."

"I..." Shen Qingrou was speechless, too lazy to communicate, and hung up the phone directly.

"I'm so angry, so angry!" She glared at Ye Cheng in frustration. "The old man said he knew my weakness. Tell me, what weakness do I have?"

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Isn't your weakness me? You only started to become more ambitious after we got together, so Chairman Shen thinks you started to change because of me."

"If you can get me under your control, I can make you submit obediently."

Shen Qingrou calmed down: "What you said seems to make some sense... So, do you want me to inherit the Shen Group?"

Ye Cheng said, "You've already said you want to leave the Shen Group to your younger brother. Since you're not interested in the Shen Group, why would I want you to be the chairman?"

Besides, the Shen Group operates in traditional industries. Now it's the 21st century, and we need to seek breakthroughs.

What I'm doing now is just a trial run, to experience the atmosphere of business competition. I have no intention of staying at Shen's Group permanently.

In the future, wherever you go, I will go.

"If you plan to start a business, I'll start one with you."

Shen Qingrou turned around and cupped Ye Cheng's handsome face in her hands: "How can you be so understanding?"

Ye Cheng smiled sweetly: "Because I'm your person."

Shen Qingrou said hesitantly, "I don't know how to face you like this."

I really can't give you anything right now. I can't forget him, and I'm still using you as a substitute for him.

Ye Cheng, being understanding, said, "If you can't forget, then don't. It's just that I have a similar face to him."

I told you I would help you find him, no matter where he is, I would help you find him for the rest of my life.

Shen Qingrou was moved and hugged Ye Cheng's head tightly: "Don't say anything, I'll feel guilty."

Uh... so soft. Ye Cheng had never experienced such treatment before.

He was a spiritual practitioner and thought he didn't care much about lust, especially during the three years after losing a kidney, when he became even more detached from worldly desires.

But now he suddenly started having some wild thoughts.

"Um... honey, can you please stop? I'm a normal man now, I can't take it."

Shen Qingrou was taken aback upon hearing this, and her face instantly turned bright red: "You've reacted?"

"what?"

Ye Cheng thought to himself, "You're being so direct that it's a bit embarrassing."

"Let me see."

Shen Qingrou suddenly reached into her pocket, but fortunately Ye Cheng reacted quickly and grabbed her soft hand.

Looking at Shen Qingrou with a dark expression, he said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you."

Shen Qingrou's lips curled up: "Who are you trying to scare, you little rascal?"

This question is difficult to verify. Ye Cheng said indifferently, "That was before, but you can mock me all you want. I don't need to prove it."

Shen Qingrou ground her white teeth: "Fine, I'll spare your pitiful self-esteem."

Just as Ye Cheng was about to retort, he suddenly heard the sound of several cars turning off their engines outside the car.

He looked out the car window and saw Secretary Wei leading a group of people. He then got out of the car with Shen Qingrou.

No one knows who called the emergency center, but an ambulance came speeding to a stop in front of the restaurant, and within moments, many people were being carried out.

Just then, Ye Cheng's phone rang. He picked it up and, unsurprisingly, it was Secretary Wei calling.

"Hey, Secretary Wei, I'm waiting outside the restaurant."

"I've already brought people to control the scene. I'm glad you're all alright. I'll have to trouble you to come to the police station with me."

"Okay, I will definitely cooperate with Secretary Wei."

It was already 3 p.m. when Ye Cheng and Shen Qingrou came out of the police station. They only gave a statement and pushed all the blame onto Yin Dachuan.

Yin Dachuan had no choice but to bear the burden of his suffering.

For malicious assault, imprisonment is the only option awaiting him.

As for Shi Biaozi, no one thought Ye Cheng had hurt him. On the contrary, they thought he was in the wrong first. Ye Cheng had only pushed him lightly, and he had already started spewing sour saliva and trying to extort money from him.

Secretary Wei also showed no intention of protecting Yin Dachuan, which surprised Ye Cheng.

Of course, he still told Secretary Wei about the restaurant's exorbitant prices.

Secretary Wei looked incredulous upon hearing this and said he would ask Yin Shushan what had happened.

His feigned surprise was rather intriguing.
