She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1661: Chapter 1738: Only Ten Days

The momentum of the Feng Family is quite strong, and their power is significant enough to drive the Steel King to bankruptcy; it’s not impossible. If Feng Zhenzhen said it would take half a year, he would believe it 100%.

But she said ten days.

Ten days is simply a fantasy; if he told others, it would only invite ridicule.

Ji Zhicheng saw Shen Ming was silent, so he added, "We have nothing now. We originally wanted to conceal the news and find a way to recover, but that damned Meng Ping exposed us."

"Meng Ping again." Shen Ming gnashed his teeth in anger at the mention of Meng Ping. "Damn it, why is it always him!" To be honest, Shen Ming always looked down on Meng Ping since childhood, who seemed to spend his days loafing around and never put in effort. From a young age, all attention was on Meng Fan. As the ignored younger brother himself, he despised Meng Ping’s self-destructive behavior immensely.

Later, when Meng Fan died, he secretly mocked Meng Ping. Hypocrite, why would he act like he was sad when all of Meng Family’s resources would shift to him after his brother’s death?

The truth was, he misjudged.

"Meng Ping, that bastard, is doing bigger and bigger business now, causing us considerable trouble," Ji Zhicheng said viciously, "I’ll find an opportunity to kill him."

"You?" Shen Ming sneered, "I’d advise you to drop that thought." The Meng Family has already lost one of their most important members; they won’t let the last one be taken down.

He found out that the old man and Xingzhi from the Meng Family both have people around Meng Ping.

Ji Zhicheng obviously understood his point but had no outlet for his anger. "Think of a way; without the Ji Family as our money tree, how can we bounce back? Everything is still in the planning stage."

"Sigh!" Shen Ming sighed, exasperated. "I initially wanted to let Grandpa see me in a different light and revive the Shen Family through the business world, but now it’s impossible."

After a pause, he finally said, "The Ji Family has nothing to do with me anymore."

Ji Zhicheng showed a flash of surprise in his eyes, evidently not expecting Shen Ming to be so ruthless, chilling his heart. The Ji Family might not be great, but for him, Shen Ming, they have been generous, giving anything he wanted, even marrying off their only daughter to him. And now that they’ve gone bankrupt, he could sever ties so quickly.

But he himself wasn’t a good person, lacking grounds to criticize. What he worried about was, collaborating with such a person, wouldn’t end up being the same?

Shen Ming was unwilling, not wanting to bow down to his cousin, but now she’s the only one he can utilize. Who would’ve thought Grandpa was partial, calculating against him before dying. He expected to control the remaining power of the Shen Family, yet it all fell into his cousin’s hands.

After Ji Zhicheng left, Shen Ming turned back to his room to wash up and change clothes. Ji Shiyu had already woken up, standing in front of the mirror combing her hair. Her permed hair was truly a hassle to manage in the morning. Seeing Shen Ming return carrying cold air, she unhappily asked, "Where did you go so early? Why were you gone for so long?"

"Don’t meddle in my affairs anymore." Shen Ming said irritably, not even glancing at Ji Shiyu.

Ji Shiyu paused her combing motion, thinking she was still groggy from sleep. Since marrying Shen Ming, she had never heard him speak to her in such a tone, even during arguments in the past few days.
