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

Chapter 368: It’s Not Easy to Be a Sheng Family Daughter-in-Law (Part 8)

"According to the Sheng Family’s rules, women who marry into the Sheng Family are not entitled to a share of the Shengshi Group’s stock, so whether it’s Jianan’s grandmother or my mother or Jianan’s mother, and of course, including you, none of us are eligible. As the daughter of an ex-wife, I originally wasn’t either. It was the old man who forcibly made Sheng Huaiyuan give me half of his share."

Tang Yanqi didn’t say anything, continuing to listen as Sheng Jiayu said, "So, Sheng Huaiyuan’s original ten percent turned into five percent. I’m telling you this to let you know, in the Sheng Family, whoever has shares in Shengshi has a voice. With that woman’s temper, I know she definitely doesn’t like you, but it doesn’t matter, because in the Sheng Family, she is nothing."

The disdain and contempt for Sheng Jianan’s mother in Sheng Jiayu’s tone were undisguised. Tang Yanqi was not surprised; she was just curious why Sheng Jiayu suddenly wanted to tell her this.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Sheng Jiayu smiled a little, "From the day that woman entered the Sheng Family, I swore I would never call Sheng Huaiyuan ’Dad’ again, but I accepted his shares because I want that woman to know that even if I leave the Sheng Family, her status in the Sheng Family is still inferior to mine. As they say, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. I only hope you aren’t bullied by that woman. This life is yours and Jianan’s; let her get lost."

Sheng Jiayu always gave off the vibe of a strong woman. Tang Yanqi didn’t expect her to use the word "get lost," a slight smile on her lips, though her gaze remained calm, "Hmm, that makes sense."

"As for Shen Yao, the Shen Family and the Sheng Family have been friends for generations, so it’s quite normal for her to be familiar with the Sheng Family. You shouldn’t worry about her either. And by the way, this necklace on your neck... you should probably put it away and not wear it."

Tang Yanqi touched it, the diamond dazzling, so she had always been careful to tuck the pendant inside her clothes, not expecting Sheng Jiayu to notice it. Tang Yanqi felt a bit awkward. She wasn’t trying to show off; she simply couldn’t bear to take it off, especially since Sheng Jianan had put it on her himself.

"This isn’t an ordinary diamond; it’s the ’Snow Jellyfish,’ the world’s most top-notch diamond and the only one of its kind. Since Jianan gave it to you, it shows he’s serious. I remember that kid once said this diamond was prepared for his future wife."

Tang Yanqi was somewhat shocked. She hadn’t expected the necklace around her neck to have such a significant background, no wonder Tang Ruhai looked like that when he saw it that day.

Tang Yanqi earnestly nodded, "I understand, thank you."

Sheng Jiayu smiled, her eyes glancing at the tall figure coming out of the house in the distance. She raised her chin, "Alright, he’s coming out. Let’s go back."

Tang Yanqi followed her gaze, only to see Sheng Jianan with one hand hanging casually and the other tucked in his pocket, his stride somewhat leisurely.

Sheng Jiayu was heading back to the city, and Tang Yanqi and Sheng Jianan were leaving too. Sheng Jianan intended to return to the Lake Bay Villa, but Tang Yanqi remembered she had prepared some ingredients halfway through. If she didn’t put them in the fridge, they might be wasted by tomorrow.

"Can we go to the apartment?"

Sheng Jianan was driving casually, not looking at her, but a mischievous smile curved at his lips, "Why? Want some alone time together?"

Tang Yanqi: "..."

Alone time my foot, she was concerned about her ingredients, alright?

Uh, wait, something seemed off. She seemed to have been planning for some alone time together earlier.
