Chapter 2: Good and Clean Job

Shen Zhicai raised his head and looked at Shen Ziqian deeply.

“Don’t create sparks and draw attention to us.”

“Dad, don’t worry. I was very careful with that. Qiang hates her so much; why would he help her? Besides, I promised to marry him after it’s done,” Shen Ziqian said in a cold voice as her fingers slightly tightened around the coffee cup, “Shen Chengjing wants to marry into the Mo Family? In her dreams! The title of Mrs. Mo belongs only to me.”

The Mo Family was a mid-sized company in A City, so having a marriage connection with the Mo Family was a good choice for the Shen Family.

“Right. So long as our Ziqian marries into the Mo Family, and with the Shen Family in our hands, we could…” Pan Ru didn’t try to conceal the greed in her eyes.

Shen Zhicai sat there and looked at Shen Ziqian in silence. After a long pause, he said, “If you can pull this off, I’ll give you all the properties under Shen Chengjing’s name.”

“Dad, are you serious? How about the portion under Shen Linlin’s name?” Her eyes brightened. If she got her cousin’s properties and married into the Mo Family, she would never need to bow to anyone.

“The entire Shen Family will be yours,” Shen Zhicai promised her. Clearly, Shen Ziqian was delighted.

But she didn’t know that Shen Chengjing was listening to their entire conversation outside the door.

“Why would you do this to me?” Shen Chengjing couldn’t believe her ears. After her father passed away, her father’s elder brother took over the Shen Corporation, saying that he would return the company to her after she grew up. But it turned out to be a big conspiracy.

They wanted to take the Shen Corporation for themselves. To achieve this goal, they planned to force her into a marriage and even ruin her reputation, eventually forcing her death?

“No, it can’t happen!” She turned around with her cellphone in hand as she called her lawyer. However, the lawyer told her that if she got married tomorrow, all the properties would be moved to her name.

After hanging up, she finally understood that Mo Yongqian and the people in the Shen Family had been good to her for an evil purpose. She couldn’t accept this reality, and her heart ached at this realization, which woke her up from her daze.

“Oh.” She turned around and ran into Shen Zhicai’s bedroom. Using her memory, she dug out the household registration booklet from a box.

[TL Note: In China, the household registration booklet is the registration of an individual in the government’s system. It is one of the most important IDs.].

When she walked toward her own room, she saw those people walking out from the study.

“Shen Chengjing, why are you here?” Shen Ziqian pointed at her as if she saw a ghost, and her high-pitched voice resonated in the mansion.

“Why can’t I be here?” Though nervous, Shen Chengjing asked the question as she forced herself to remain calm, telling herself that she couldn’t let them defeat her.

“Aren’t you and Mo…” She wanted to say something, but Pan Ru walked up and pinched her.

“I have something to do. I’ve got to go.” Shen Chengjing was eager to leave, still terrified by their evil scheme.

She had taken only a few steps when Shen Zhicai thought of something and yelled, “Stop her. We can’t let her leave.”

If she left tonight, his plan would fall apart. Meanwhile, Shen Ziqian ran into Shen Chengjing’s room and found that Mo Yongqiang had been knocked unconscious on the bed.

“Dad, Qiang is hurt. Call the police and have them arrest her.” Shen Ziqian was terrified as well.

Shen Chengjing turned her head and looked at them. “I injured Qiang? What are you talking about? I only came back to fetch something. Why do you look so anxious? This joke is ridiculous, Uncle.”

She smiled despite her fury.

The dim light scattered on her body, and the white knee-length silk dress showed her curvy body. With the black long coat on top, it made her look tall. Her pretty long hair fell loosely down her back as her almond-shaped eyes glittered coldly on her impeccable face with delicate features.

Seeing the look on her face, Shen Zhicai waved his hand. “Let her go.”

It wasn’t the right time yet. If they pressed her too hard now, she might fight back. Now that it was decided, he would make the perfect and vicious plan. He wouldn’t let this big fish slip from his grasp.
