So, are you still going to meet Shen Yu?" Ivan asked.
"I was invited to play golf, of course I have to go" Qiao Anxin said with a sinister smirk on her face.
"You are still going to meet Shen Yu? You know that he has evil intentions! Besides, he's currently in a war with Shen Mingxi. Do you really want to take his side?" Ivan asked.
Qiao Anxin rolled her eyes. "First of all, the Shen Family's fight is just that. The Shen's Family. I have zero intentions of getting involved much less taking sides. Two, do you really think that Shen Mingxi is so innocent? He has his mother, the great madam Shen on his side. Do you really think that the idiot Shen Yu who has been protected by that senile old man in the Shen Family for years is a match for the mother and son pair?" Qiao Anxin asked with an eye roll.
"Since you are not going there for Shen Yu, why do you need to go meet those useless second generation heirs?" Ivan asked, with a frown on his face.
"That's because there's an even bigger prey there tomorrow. Even bigger than the Shen Family"
.....
Shen Mingxi sat in the back of his car as his assistant drove him back to the company.
"Young Master, did you really give Miss Qiao twenty percent more? The Chairman is going to be so angry!" the assistant Jing De, said.
Shen Mingxi frowned. He already had a terrible headache thinking about how much he had lost to that woman. She really is the greediest woman that he had ever met.
"Do you think that I wanted to hand it over to her then? It's twenty percent for goodness sake! Do you think I'm stupid or something? That trouble maker Shen Yu already got to her! You know that the old man dotes on his illegitimate son. He can basically get away with murder. I can't let Shen Yu mess up all the work I've done for the past three months!" Shen Mingxi said. He was feeling stressed out and he took out his anger on his assistant.
Jing De was annoyed when he heard that Su Yu had met Qiao Anxin. He was even more angry at Qiao Anxin who had basically used the situation of the Shen Family to her benefit. How shameless is she to take advantage of the internal battle of a family so blatantly?
"Miss Qiao is really… she knows about what is going in the Shen Family and she used it to her advantage. Maybe she never even wanted to meet second Young Master in the first place. She is really shameless!" Jing De could not help but criticize Qiao Anxin.
Shen Mingxi sighed. "She is a woman who kicked her father away from his own company so ruthlessly. Of course she won't care about what happens to the Shen Family. She is only on the side of the person who can benefit her the most" Shen Mingxi said.
Actually putting personal bias aside, he really admired Qiao Anxin. She was so decisive and ruthless when she stripped her father of his power and kicked hi, away. Although the old Mr. Qiao deserved every single thing that had happened to him, he is still Qiao Anxin's father. She could havev shown some mercy, but she did not.
Shen Mingxi really wished he could be like her when dealing with his old man. After all that person have never considered him to be worth anything. But ultimately, he could not be so cruel to his father. Or perhaps he cared too much what people were going to say about him. Not everyone could damn the consequences like Qiao Anxin.
"Still…she is really too much!" Jing De said. He had worked for Shen Mingxi's mother, Shen Caixing, before he started working for Shen Mingxi. He was fiercely loyal to the mother and son.
"Just forget about it. I will find a way to deal with those trouble making shareholders tomorrow. If there is nothing on my schedule today, just take me back home" Shen Mingxi said. By home, he meant the condo that he had bought, not the mansion he supposedly lived in with his parents.
"Actually, the madam called earlier" Jing De reported.
"What? My mom called? What did she say?" Shen Mingxi asked.
"She said that she wants to see you. She also said it's urgent" Jing De said.
Shen Mingxi sighed, he looked tired. "These people really don't know how to give me a break right?" Shen Mingxi mused to himself.
His father, his so called brother and even his own mother, no one cared about what he was really feeling. Everyone was just focused on who he is supposed to be and what he is supposed to do.
Because the car was silent, Jing De heard him clearly. He couldn't bear to watch Shen Mingxi misunderstand his mother and so he spoke up for her.
"Actually, madam loves you a lot you are her only son after all. It's just that she has been tortured by the chairman her entire life so she is forced to be strict. Actually, she is doing everything for your sake. The Shen Enterprise….." Shen Mingxi did not let Jing De continue.
"Alright, you can stop talking about it. Take me to her" Shen Mingxi said.
He won't be so foolish to believe that his mother is doing it all for him. Perhaps, he might have believed it in the past. In fact, his mother probably believes that she is doing it for him. But that is far from it. His mother has been hurt too much by the bastard she married. Perhaps the only thing that can fully compensate her for her years of suffering is the Shen Enterprise.
He knew that his mother will stop at nothing to get the Shen Enterprise.
Shen Mingxi was more than willing to let her have it if she can really be happy there.
