“Brother, what do you mean by that?” Sang Qianqian’s breathing stopped.
“We were discussing a collaboration with the Shen family’s company.”
A cold glint flashed in Sang Minglang’s eyes. “Shen Shaofeng is stubborn and refuses to accept the Sang family’s investment. Now we can shed all pretenses of politeness. First, we’ll make them go bankrupt and then acquire them.”
Shen Shaofeng was Shen Hanyu’s father.
The mobile chip technology developed by Shen Shaofeng had caught the Sang family’s eye, so they’d always wanted to invest in the Shen family’s company. But unfortunately, the Shen family always rejected their offer.
Sang Qianqian was stunned. “Must you bankrupt the Shen family?”
“It’s unnecessary, but I can’t let the Shen family bully my daughter.”
Sang Pengcheng patted Sang Qianqian’s hand gently. “Qianqian, you don’t have to worry about business matters. With your brother around, he’ll know what to do.”
Sang Qianqian felt a chill in her heart. Reality coincided with her dream, and the Shen family would go bankrupt!
Perhaps that was a reminder to her that the Sang family shouldn’t be so cruel to the Shen family.
She didn’t hesitate and told her brother and father about the nightmare she had gone through.
“Shen Hanyu will be a world business giant in the future?”
Sang Minglang found this funny. “Qianqian, you’re overestimating Shen Hanyu. It’s not that I’m being shameless, but how can a company acquired by the Sang family have a chance to make a comeback?”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Sang Qianqian continued, “If the Shen family’s company were to grow and expand in the future, wouldn’t we have one more enemy for no reason?”
Sang Pengcheng didn’t mind and smiled. “A dream is nothing more than a dream. How could it be real?”
Sang Qianqian was helpless and could only change her approach. “But Shen Hanyu is my classmate. I don’t want to make things too difficult for him.”
She held Sang Pengcheng’s hand and said coyly, “Dad, just promise me not to make things difficult for the Shen family, okay?”
When Sang Pengcheng saw his daughter’s reaction, he assumed she still liked Shen Hanyu.
Sang Pengcheng sighed, his eyes filled with love. “Fine, fine. It isn’t easy for my daughter to fancy someone, so I’ll help you get him no matter what. I’ll ask your brother to make some new arrangements.”
He’d made things difficult for the Shen family to avenge his daughter. However, now that his daughter was still interested in that boy, he could only go along with her.
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
Did her father misunderstand something?
Sang Minglang asked, “Father, how should we deal with the Shen family?”
“Try your best to cooperate. Let’s put aside the acquisition plan for now.”
Sang Pengcheng’s words were final. Sang Minglang was helpless as he could only listen.
…
The next day, Sang Qianqian rushed to school.
Just as she was walking up the stairs, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking down from the corner of the stairs, and her whole body froze on the spot.
It was Shen Hanyu!
Sang Qianqian’s heart was in a state of panic. She wasn’t prepared and had met him on such a narrow path.
Shen Hanyu wasn’t expecting to run into Sang Qianqian either. He stopped in his tracks and looked down at her with cold eyes.
This look was extremely similar to the ones the men in black gave to Sang Qianqian in that dream.
It was early summer, and the sun shone brightly outside the window, but Sang Qianqian could only feel chills run down her spine.
Shen Hanyu slowly walked down the stairs, and Sang Qianqian subconsciously leaned closer to the wall to make way for him.
The moment their gazes met, the girl’s body stiffened. Her big eyes flickered with panic, but she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile.
‘Sang Qianqian, afraid? Please, you’ve got to be kidding me.’
Shen Hanyu laughed coldly at the thought.
The word ‘fear’ shouldn’t be associated with Sang Qianqian.
Shen Hanyu stared at her expressionlessly and said slowly, “Sang Qianqian.”
When he called out these three words, it was as if they’d been quenched in ice.
Sang Qianqian’s body trembled slightly.
“I don’t care what you’re up to. You’re dreaming if you think I’ll accept you because you let me stay in this school.”
His tone carried a touch of ridicule. “Playing hard to get doesn’t work on me.”
Sang Qianqian bit her lip and gathered her courage to say, “I’m sorry Shen Hanyu. Everything is my fault. In the future, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Shen Hanyu was a little surprised, and his dark and cold eyes were filled with suspicion.
However, the sincerity on Sang Qianqian’s face didn’t seem fake at all.
He stared at Sang Qianqian for a long time before he said, “That would be best.”
After Shen Hanyu left, the tension in the air finally disappeared.
Sang Qianqian’s tensed-up body finally relaxed.
She stood there in silence for a long time, an inexplicable feeling in her heart when she thought about how much she’d liked Shen Hanyu in the past month.
Shen Hanyu would never know why she liked him.
Even Sang Qianqian herself didn’t know how she’d fallen in love with him at first sight.
That day was her 18th birthday. Her father had held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her at a seven-star hotel in Ming City.
The banquet hadn’t ended yet. She had secretly sneaked out with Wen Xu and took a sports car for a spin on the street.
The night was clear, the moon was bright, and the fragrance of flowers filled the spring breeze with the aroma of flowers. She sang happily like a child, her long black hair dancing in the wind.
Then, she turned her head and saw a young man in a white shirt and black pants sitting under the bus stop.
It was a face that could bewitch all living beings. Calm and cold, the man held a jade-like complexion. He looked like a Greek god as he sat under the dim yellow street light.
Sang Qianqian completely forgot to sing as she stared at him in a daze without even blinking.
The young man heard the car engine roar and looked up, his eyes indifferent as he glanced in Sang Qianqian’s direction.
The sports car sped past the young man, and she only caught a glimpse of him.
However, that didn’t stop Sang Qianqian from remembering the nametag on the young man’s shirt: Ming City High School.
Sang Qianqian transferred from an international school to Ming City High School the next day.
She’d tried her best to treat Shen Hanyu well for the past month, but he’d rather ruin his future than accept her. It was obvious how much he hated her.
Luckily, that nightmare alerted Sang Qianqian. Otherwise, who knew how long she’d have to wallow in this one-sided love.
She had deviated from her life for too long, and now, it was time for her to return to her original path.
