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

Chapter 367: It’s Not Easy to Be a Sheng Family Daughter-in-Law (Part 7)

Tang Yanqi shook her head: "I won’t, thank you."

Sheng Jiayu put the cigarette back in her pocket, smiled slightly: "Not smoking is a good thing, it’s bad for your health."

Tang Yanqi walked over to Sheng Jiayu, and the two of them strolled along the garden path for a while. Sheng Jiayu suddenly spoke: "Isn’t it hard being a daughter-in-law of the Sheng Family?"

Tang Yanqi hadn’t expected Sheng Jiayu to say this out of the blue and was taken aback. She smiled: "It’s okay."

Sheng Jiayu chuckled: "Okay?"

She turned and pointed at the house: "Don’t you think the person in there is more like the Sheng Family’s daughter-in-law?"

Tang Yanqi was stunned again, and something flashed through her mind like a lightning bolt. She seemed to understand why she had felt that strange feeling all along.

It was Shen Yao who went to the airport with Mrs. Sheng to pick up Sheng Jianan, who had just brought fruit out to them, and who accompanied Mrs. Sheng to pick out clothes.

These should have been done by a daughter or daughter-in-law, but they were all done by Shen Yao.

Tang Yanqi lowered her head and was silent for two seconds, then smiled again: "Really? But what’s the use of being like that?"

Her eyes sparkled. At the airport, when Sheng Jianan received her call, he immediately went to her side. In the Sheng Family, Sheng Jianan was always by her side.

So, who seems like it doesn’t matter; who is, that’s what’s important!

Since she had decided to muster the courage to fight for her own happiness, she wouldn’t be shaken by these things. As long as Sheng Jianan had her in his heart, that was enough.

Sheng Jiayu looked at Tang Yanqi, her eyes squinting slightly. She brought the cigarette to her lips, took a deep breath, exhaled two smoke rings, and suddenly laughed: "I think I know why Jianan likes you. To be honest, at your wedding, I didn’t have a good impression of you, wooden, like a block of wood. But now I find you quite... interesting."

"Is that a compliment?"

"At least it’s not an insult."

For some reason, Tang Yanqi’s goodwill towards Sheng Jiayu increased dramatically with just a few exchanges. Sheng Jiayu and Sheng Jianan resembled each other in several ways, especially in their disdainful expressions and the way they squinted at people.

It’s just that because Sheng Jiayu is a woman, her gestures carried more feminine grace, with a lazy allure.

"By the way, I just heard Grandpa say that you have ten percent of Shengshi Group’s shares in your hands?"

Tang Yanqi shook her head, paused for a moment, then nodded: "Grandpa offered them to me, but I didn’t take them, and there were conditions anyway."

"With or without conditions, since the old man offered them, they were meant for you. In the early days of Shengshi Group, shares were quite scattered due to financing and other issues. But now, in such a vast group, actually eighty percent of the shares are controlled by the Sheng Family."

Tang Yanqi, who studied finance, was shocked to hear this. Sheng Jiayu took another puff of her cigarette and continued: "And of that eighty percent, Jianan has forty percent, the old man has thirty percent, Sheng Huaiyuan has five percent, I have five percent, and the old man offered you ten percent. Do you know what that means?"

"Other than Grandpa and Sheng Jianan, I would be the largest shareholder of Shengshi."

Tang Yanqi spoke without reservation. She had never intended to take that ten percent of the shares, so she didn’t take this matter seriously.

What she hadn’t expected was that Sheng Jiayu smiled: "No, that’s not what I wanted to say."
