When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 296: Birthday Banquet (Part 6)

Tang Yanqi reached out to take it, and Mr. Sheng looked at her with a loving expression, implying for her to open it and take a look.

Sheng Jianan crossed his arms, leaning against the wall with an inexplicable smile on his face. Tang Yanqi felt a bit embarrassed, but she still reached out and opened the small velvet box.

Inside was a butterfly-shaped brooch inlaid with rubies. Tang Yanqi didn’t know much about jewelry, but it was clear that anything Mr. Sheng presented must be invaluable.

Moreover, the brooch was obviously quite old. It wasn’t very new, possessing a classic crafted beauty.

"Grandfather, this..."

"This was Grandma Jianan’s thing. She loved it most in her lifetime, and now it’s yours."

Tang Yanqi quickly shook her head, "Grandfather, this is too precious, I can’t..."

This was no longer about the value of the thing itself; it was Grandma Jianan’s relic, carrying unimaginable weight.

Mr. Sheng interrupted Tang Yanqi with a smile, "I gave it to you, so just accept it."

"I..."

Tang Yanqi instinctively turned to look at Sheng Jianan’s expression, finding that he still had that unreadable smile. She wasn’t sure if he was happy; this thing was practically a family heirloom and clearly should be something for a daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law.

She was a granddaughter-in-law, but...

Tang Yanqi pressed her lips together. Needless to say, Sheng Jianan definitely wouldn’t be happy about this, but if she didn’t accept it, the old man wouldn’t be pleased either. Never mind, at worst, she’d return it to Sheng Jianan later.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Tang Yanqi obediently expressed her gratitude, and Mr. Sheng was very gratified. He also signaled her to open the envelope.

If the brooch just now shocked Tang Yanqi, the contents in her hands now simply made her jump.

The words "Equity Transfer Agreement" appeared before her eyes, and not only Tang Yanqi but even Sheng Jianan was stunned.

Shengshi Group, as one of the world’s top commercial groups, its vastness was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. This grand commercial empire led the Sheng Family to have an unwritten rule.

Any woman who married into the Sheng Family, even after marriage, did not have the qualification to inherit shares of Shengshi Group.

In other words, unless a Sheng Family member voluntarily transferred it, even if their husbands passed away, only Sheng Family members could inherit the shares. Women marrying in with different surnames did not qualify.

And now, Mr. Sheng was transferring ten percent of his shares to Tang Yanqi. This wasn’t just a huge sum; it was literally a mountain of gold.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Tang Yanqi resolutely returned the envelope to Mr. Sheng, "Grandfather, I can’t accept this."

Mr. Sheng said nothing but took the water cup in front of him and turned to Sheng Jianan, "No water left."

The old man’s meaning was clear, he had something to say to Tang Yanqi alone, and Sheng Jianan didn’t mind. He took the water cup and left the room.

Only the old man and Tang Yanqi were left in the ward. Mr. Sheng kindly handed the documents back to Tang Yanqi, "Girl, take a good look, this ten percent isn’t so easily obtained."

Tang Yanqi frowned, biting her lip, and continued reading. As she was in the economic field, she understood many things at a glance. The agreement was just a standard transfer agreement without problems. The only point was that for this agreement to take effect, besides both parties signing, it required one condition: her divorce from Sheng Jianan.

In other words, if her marriage to Sheng Jianan was still legally protected, she couldn’t have this ten percent.
