I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

Chapter 6

The Two People I Don’t Want to Face the Most

In the President’s office of the Hongyuan Group.

Sang Pengcheng’s face darkened, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say yesterday that you’re going to have a good talk with the Shen family about the collaboration?”

“Dad, the Shen family has gone too far.”

Sang Minglang’s face darkened, clearly suppressing his anger. “Shen Shaofeng’s attitude today is out of line! He was obviously trampling on the Sang family’s face!”

Today, Sang Minglang had personally brought people to look for the Shen family’s company to discuss a collaboration, but Shen Shaofeng wasn’t around.

Vice President Xia Zhixin’s attitude toward them was terrible. He didn’t hesitate to say to their faces, “We can work with anyone but the Sang family.”

Not only that, he even made a phone call to meet up with people from the Kexing Group in front of Sang Minglang.

Everyone in Ming City knew that the Sang family’s Hongyuan Group and the Han family’s Kexing Group were arch-rivals in the business world. The relationship between the two had never been good.

Xia Zhixin’s actions were clearly a provocation.

This caused both parties to have a conflict. Due to this, Xia Zhixin accidentally fell and suffered a head injury. But fortunately, his life wasn’t in danger.

Sang Qianqian, who’d been listening in silence, didn’t know what to feel.

She’d thought there’d be no more problems as long as the Shen family didn’t go bankrupt, but she didn’t expect a different matter to pop up.

Xia Zhixin’s last name was Xia, so he should have a close relationship with Xia Sitong. Scratch that; he might even be Xia Sitong’s father.

Otherwise, Shen Hanyu wouldn’t have accompanied Xia Sitong to the hospital in the rain.

Sang Minglang was very angry. “Let’s not talk about whether or not Xia Zhixin was acting on Shen Shaofeng’s orders. Even if he wasn’t, we’d still be in a tight position if Shen Shaofeng really works with the Han family.”

He looked at Sang Pengcheng.”Father, I know that you’re worried about Qianqian. You don’t want to fight with the Shen family. But since Shen Shaofeng isn’t willing to cooperate, we must acquire his company!”

Sang Pengcheng’s expression was grave.

As someone who’d been in the business world for many years, how could he not know the pros and cons?

He looked at sang Qianqian, who’d remained silent the entire time. When she arrived just now, her clothes and hair were all wet from the rain. The moment she saw him, she immediately asked about the Shen family.

She said she no longer liked Shen Hanyu and that she’d quit her studies at Ming City High School to study abroad.

However, her actions made Sang Pengcheng think differently.

She decided to transfer not because she had let go of Shen Hanyu but because she’d been hurt after being rejected. She wanted to hide far away and heal her wounds alone.

As a father, his heart ached for her.

Sang Pengcheng sighed. “How about this? I’ll talk to Shen Shaofeng personally tonight.”

Sang Minglang immediately objected, “Father, how can someone like Shen Shaofeng make you lower yourself?”

The Shen family’s company was only a small company with 20 to 30 people, while the Hongyuan Group was one of the largest companies in the country. With Sang Pengcheng’s status in the business world, he was like the light of many fireflies. So how could Shen Shaofeng be compared to his father?

“You can’t say that. Since he can develop chip technology, Shen Shaofeng is someone worth meeting.”

As he spoke, he called Shen Shaofeng’s secretary.

Soon, the secretary replied that Shen Shaofeng was visiting Xia Zhixin in the hospital.

Sang Pengcheng got his secretary to prepare gifts and brought Sang Qianqian and sang Minglang into the car. Then, he instructed the driver, “Send Qianqian home first.”

“Dad, can I go with you?”

Sang Qianqian said softly, “I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you and Brother outside, okay?”

If the conversation failed and her father got angry, she could at least plead for the Shen family.

Otherwise, with her father and brother’s decisiveness, the Shen family might be bankrupt by the time she woke up the following day.

Sang Pengcheng could more or less guess Sang Qianqian’s intentions. She was afraid that he’d cause trouble for Shen Shaofeng.

Even though he knew that he shouldn’t bring her along, but as a slave to his daughter, how could he be hard-hearted when faced with his daughter’s request? “If you want to go, then you can come.”

Sang Qianqian happily replied, “Thank you, Dad!”

Seeing his daughter in such a state, Sang Pengcheng felt an inexplicable heartache.

How much did this silly daughter like that boy from the Shen family? She was rejected, but she was still so concerned that he’d make things difficult for the Shen family.

…

Half an hour later.

Sang Qianqian sat on a bench in the corridor of the department. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She didn’t expect that Shen Hanyu and Xia Sitong still hadn’t returned to school at this time. They were still taking care of Xia Zhixin at the hospital.

She wished she could find a brick to knock herself to death. What the hell was she doing? She came to the hospital with her father, and now she was planning to hide outside the ward and eavesdrop?

Now, she couldn’t even pull through with her plans and eavesdrop. Instead, she had to face the two people she didn’t want to meet the most.

Sang Qianqian felt like she was in an abyss, sitting on pins and needles.

The pressure didn’t come from Shen Hanyu alone but also herself.

Her previous clothes were drenched, and Sang Pengcheng was afraid she’d fall sick, so he asked his secretary to rush to the mall nearby to buy her a new set of clothes.

She didn’t know what the secretary was thinking when she bought a princess dress with sparkling crystal sequins. Under the light, it outshone everything.

It wasn’t a big deal to change into this dress at the last minute, but to appear in front of Shen Hanyu and Xia Sitong in this childish dress, Sang Qianqian wanted to hide in a hole.

Not only was it highly awkward, but it was also freezing.

She was sitting by the window at the end of the corridor. The wind and rain were blowing in, making her cold, but she didn’t dare to close the window.

Why? Because the window was right next to Shen Hanyu.

The long corridor was silent. Then, a cold wind blew, and Sang Qianqian couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out a loud “Achoo!”.

Even Xia Sitong coughed in a low voice.

Sang Qianqian sniffled and hesitated whether she should wait in the car.

Shen Hanyu, who was sitting on the bench across from her, stood up and closed the window.

He turned around and took off his jacket. Sang Qianqian’s heart was beating wildly.

What was Shen Hanyu up to?

It was proven that Sang Qianqian was overthinking things as Shen Hanyu continued to place the coat over Xia Sitong.

Sang Qianqian felt as if she were some sort of intruder. Then, just as she was about to find an excuse to escape, the door to Xia Zhixin’s ward was pulled open.

Sang Minglang walked out from inside, his face expressionless. “Qianqian, Dad wants you to come in for a while.”

Sang Qianqian was stunned. “Me?”

Sang Minglang nodded, then glared at Shen Hanyu. “You come in too.”

Shen Hanyu was taken aback as well. Weren’t they talking about a collaboration? Why were Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian asked to go in?
