Shen Jiani, lying on the ground, clenched the carpet tightly as she looked up at Fang Miaomiao, who stood high above with a look of confusion.
Why?
Why!
She remembered Chen Cai telling her before they came that if she couldn't get Fang Miaomiao's forgiveness, she would be kicked out with nothing and never allowed to see her child.
Why was it that when Fang Miaomiao was bullied, her disabled husband would step forward for revenge?
And what about herself?
Chen Cai only hit her and told her to apologize.
"Heh."
Shen Jiani let out a light laugh, which grew louder and louder.
This made Chen Cai's expression change.
Damn it, he had asked Shen Jiani to apologize and seek forgiveness, not to laugh and sabotage things.
Chen Cai offered a fawning smile to Wen Zhiyan and Fang Miaomiao, then bent down and threatened Shen Jiani in her ear, "Shen Jiani, are you looking to die? If you want to die, don't drag me with you. Just apologize to me, or don't blame me for being rude later."
After speaking, Chen Cai stood up, bowed to Fang Miaomiao, and said, "It's my fault for not knowing how to raise a woman. Please don't blame me, Mrs. Wen. She's just like this, preying on the weak and fearing the strong."
"Oh? Are you saying, Mr. Chen, that our Miaomiao's position isn't strong enough?"
Chen Cai froze. "Mr. Wen, I didn't mean that. My mouth is clumsy and I don't speak well. I hope Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen can forgive me."
Wen Zhiyan stared at him silently.
The spacious room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing and Shen Jiani's soft sobs could be heard.
"It seems Mr. Chen has no intention of continuing this negotiation. In that case," Wen Zhiyan said, looking at Fang Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, let's go."
Chen Cai's face contorted with a complex expression, his fists clenched with all his might.
Earlier today, his secretary had called to tell him that a batch of customs goods was being held up for some reason, and his partner had suddenly terminated their contract.
Before he could even deal with the issues of his partner and the goods, his secretary reported that their company had been reported and that tax and industry departments were coming to investigate.
One by one, these problems made him frantic.
He had no choice but to call his partner in a low voice and humble manner. Only from his partner did he learn the details of what had happened. He then sent people to investigate and discovered that the source of everything was his shameless wife.
Damn it, always causing trouble and never accomplishing anything.
Chen Cai kicked Shen Jiani on the ground in frustration, forced a smile, and ran towards Wen Zhiyan and the others. "Mr. Wen, Mrs. Wen, it's not like that. This is my wife Shen Jiani's fault, but she has already been punished. Furthermore, those few people have been sent to the detention center. Can't you let us off, Mr. Wen?"
"Let you off?" Wen Zhiyan looked up at Chen Cai, who was blocking his path, his gaze turning cold. "Xin Xianlai."
Xin Xianlai walked in with a document. "Mr. Chen, I think you're mistaken. Madam Chen has tried to harm our madam more than once or twice."
If they hadn't stopped someone from uploading a video of their madam leaving the police station back then, their madam might have been slandered beyond recognition.
They had ample evidence for every incident.
Chen Cai quickly skimmed through the document, and his expression changed instantly.
Damn it, he had no idea what Shen Jiani was so crazy about that she had to target Fang Miaomiao. Now, not only had she ruined herself, but he was also implicated.
"Let's go."
"Wait a moment." Chen Cai gritted his teeth and said with visible pain, "This matter is our fault. To express my sincerity, I am willing to give 5% of my shares to Mrs. Wen unconditionally."
Damn it, after this matter was over, he would settle accounts with Shen Jiani properly.
"What does Madam think?"
Fang Miaomiao knew nothing about stocks or business.
However, Wen Zhiyan must have his reasons for stopping.
Fang Miaomiao looked at Wen Zhiyan. Did he mean for her to accept it?
"I'll listen to you."
Wen Zhiyan remained silent, merely smiling at Chen Cai.
Chen Cai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and called his assistant to come in and negotiate with Xin Xianlai.
An hour later, a complete share transfer agreement appeared in Fang Miaomiao's hand.
Seeing her stunned expression, a smile flickered in Wen Zhiyan's eyes. "Take it. Although 5% isn't worth much, it's still acceptable."
Chen Cai, who had just signed the papers, didn't know whether to feel heartbroken or to say that Wen Zhiyan was so magnanimous that he didn't care about his 5% of the shares.
After all, these 5% of the shares not only brought in dividends ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions each month, but also allowed him to attend board meetings.
"Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen are truly inseparable," Chen Cai said with a fawning smile. "Are you satisfied with how this matter has been handled, Mr. Wen?"
Wen Zhiyan looked at Fang Miaomiao.
Fang Miaomiao's mouth twitched. For this trip, she had gained 5% of the shares. How could she not be satisfied?
But, while that was what she thought, she certainly couldn't show it.
Thinking this, Fang Miaomiao nodded lightly. "Barely."
Chen Cai: "..."
From now on, if anyone said that the Wen family didn't dote on Fang Miaomiao, he would argue with them. Someone who didn't even care about tens of millions wasn't doted on?
Thinking this, Chen Cai became even more displeased with Shen Jiani. Once he got the money he had given her back, he would divorce her. She used to have some looks and a sweet tongue, but after giving birth, she wasn't as old and her figure wasn't as good as other women.
The most important thing was that Shen Jiani had no brains at all and kept causing trouble for him. It seemed his mother was right, women like her were only good for fun. He was a fool for marrying her, what bad luck.
"Then, Mr. Wen," Chen Cai asked nervously, rubbing his hands together, "What about that matter?"
"Mr. Chen, as a businessman, you should refrain from such crooked thinking. You were lucky to escape this time, but next time, it might not be the same."
Chen Cai's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded and bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Wen. Thank you, Mr. Wen."
They got out of the hotel and got into the car.
"If you trust me, you can hand over the shares to me, and I'll sell them," Wen Zhiyan said after a moment's thought. "That company is not clean, and it will be investigated sooner or later."
Rather than that, it would be better to get rid of the shares as soon as possible.
Fang Miaomiao nodded. "Okay."
When it came to these matters, she was completely clueless.
"You trust me?"
"Yeah." Fang Miaomiao nodded. "I trust you."
What a joke, the author had said that Wen Zhiyan was a business genius.
Wen Zhiyan looked at her clear eyes, filled with trust in him, and his heart trembled. Her beautiful, thick eyelashes fluttered, concealing the emotions deep within her eyes. After a long time, he slowly said, "You really aren't afraid that I'll deceive you."
"You won't deceive me," Fang Miaomiao said firmly, meeting his deep gaze.
For some reason, when she looked at Wen Zhiyan, a voice in her heart always said: You can believe him with certainty your entire life.
