The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO's Wife

Chapter 216

After it all ended, Shu Yi and Shen Yin returned together to Ziyue Manor. Shu Yi's phone remained switched off, and she did not turn it on even after reaching home.

Shen Yin cooked dinner. When Xu Xiuhe returned home, he mentioned that the case concerning Qi Yan was about to reach a verdict, aiming for a sentence between three to ten years.

Shen Yin didn't show any significant reaction. After all, one must bear the consequences of multiple wrongdoings. Qi Yan was going in, so was Qi Shengwu, and no one else could be blamed for that.

"Today, I went for ice cream with Shu Yi."

"She was with you?"

"Did Chang Zhiyuan look for you?"

The couple each posed their questions, knowing the answers without needing a reply from each other.

"As for their business, we should not interfere. If they are meant to be, nothing can separate them."

Shen Yin agreed, as the nature of destiny is truly mysterious.

Xu Xiuhe was playing with Zhengzheng, while Shen Yin was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Xu Xiuhe’s phone began to ring.

"Zhengzheng, play by yourself for a while. Daddy needs to take this call.”

"Okay."

Xu Xiuhe moved into the bathroom.

The number was unfamiliar.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Any progress?"

"We found out that Zhou Man, prior to her wedding, had illicit relationships with multiple individuals, both men and women.”

"I am aware."

Of course, Xu Xiuhe already knew this. What he wanted now was evidence, which he knew was hard to find. If he could locate it himself, he wouldn't need detectives.

"What's her current status? What about her family background?"

"She has no distinguished family background. She's originally from Pei City, and comes from a single-parent family. She used to frequent bars in high school, making money by accompanying others for drinks."

"What does she need so much money for?"

Xu Xiuhe questioned, well aware of the fact that Zhou Man had scammed 20 million from the Shen family.

"That is, her mother has leukemia. Initially, she made money to pay for her mother's treatment. Later, she indeed used her body and earned quite a lot. Her mother’s condition was controlled. She..."

The person on the other end of the call did not continue.

"Keep talking."

"She met Shen Yin online. At that time, she happened to take a job overseas and managed to coax Shen Yin to come along. She took advantage of Shen Yin's sympathy, making Shen Yin transfer money to her. Her mother then underwent a bone marrow transplant in China. Her illness was cured. Because of Shen family's intervention, their relationship ended. After leaving Shen Yin, she successively had relationships with many men and finally married Guo Wei.”

After listening to the detective's report on the phone, Xu Xiuhe felt a myriad of emotions. Zhou Man was overwhelmingly greedy. Her mother's illness had been cured, yet she had scammed 20 million from the Shen family.

"How did she meet Yang Cui?"

"Because of Xu Zhengyang. Xu Zhengyang was in Pei City on a business trip two years ago and she seduced him. They had an affair, and after learning about Xu Zhengyang's identity, she lied to him, saying her ex-girlfriend was forced into a marriage with Xu Zhengyang's brother. Xu Zhengyang investigated, unable to uncover Shen Yin’s true identity, and only found that Zhou Man did indeed have a past with Shen Yin."

Xu Xiuhe, having heard this, understood that Zhou Man was only after money.

In the evening, while lying in bed, Xu Xiuhe shared the incident with Shen Yin. It seemed to Shen Yin as if she was hearing a story, winding and incredibly complex.

“In my impression, they never committed any outrageous actions. The Shen Yin from the past was probably blinded by what she thought was love.”

“Right, don't worry too much, there will be no issues.”

Shen Yin nodded.

The couple had the same thought in mind. Zhou Man had no evidence to prove that they were lesbians. There were also no inappropriate photos. If it did leak out, Shen Yin could say they were just good friends.

Everything required evidence. It was normal for two girls to be close, and without any concrete evidence, it would not pose any substantial threat to either Xu Xiuhe or herself.

"She is stilling investigating. Once we compile everything she has done and send it to her, she will likely get a scare."

"How could Xu Guimin have such a child as Xu Zhengyang? Xu Zhengyang gives off a sinister aura, you can tell he's nefarious at first glance."

"Why don't you also mention that he himself isn't any good?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yin agreed, some people are simply not meant to be parents.

Shen Yin touched Xu Xiuhe’s eyebrows and said: “It is truly a blessing that you have grown up so safely, healthy and excellently.”

“Are you praising me?”

"Isn't it obvious? I'm really complimenting you!" Shen Yin, excited, sat up.

“Let's sleep.”

The next day, Zhengzheng kept insisting on seeing her father. Left with no choice, Shen Yin had to ask the driver to bring Zhengzheng and herself to the company.

Most of the Heyuan Group employees recognized her. As she visited often, they weren’t surprised to see her.

At the office, Shen Yin, finding herself bored, began to look at some of Heyuan Group's files.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your company's secrets and sell them?"

"I'm not, the company isn't just mine, you are also a shareholder."

"I’m a shareholder? When did that happen?”

Shen Yin was surprised, she put down the files in her hands and looked at Xu Xiuhe.

"You have a 10% stake. But I’m still the majority shareholder, how else would I be the CEO?”

“When did I become a shareholder?”

"The first time you cooked dinner, I had Liu Bo transfer 5% to you. The time you moved into the small building, I transferred another 5% to you.”

“That would explain the large amount in my bank account.”

“Is it a lot for you? What’s mine is now yours.”

“Is Liu Bo also a shareholder?”

“He is, but his share is slightly less than yours.”

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

As soon as the words came out of the mouths, Liu Bo, with a grimace, knocked on the office door.

“Boss.”

“Come in.”

"Is the project in Yang City finished?"

"Can it be done so soon?"

"So, what's the matter?"

"I'm taking leave."

Said Liu Bo.

"You're taking a leave?" Xu Xiuhe was a bit incredulous. Liu Bo usually complained about his long working hours, but when it came to work, he was more diligent than anyone else. The company's success today can't be separated from him.

"Yes. Xiao Li's father has been hospitalized with high blood pressure. As her future son-in-law, I ought to visit him."

"He's worth a visit. Go ahead."

Liu Bo didn't expect his leave application would go so smoothly.

"Hold on, when are you guys holding the wedding ceremony? I'll come to gift some money."

Liu Bo was almost out of the office door when he was stopped by Xu Xiuhe.

"A wedding ceremony?" Liu Bo touched his head, is this something worth considering? He and Xiao Li are just pretending at present.
