Chapter 216

After it all ended, Shu Yi and Shen Yin returned together to Ziyue Manor. Shu Yi's phone remained switched off, and she did not turn it on even after reaching home.

Shen Yin cooked dinner. When Xu Xiuhe returned home, he mentioned that the case concerning Qi Yan was about to reach a verdict, aiming for a sentence between three to ten years.

Shen Yin didn't show any significant reaction. After all, one must bear the consequences of multiple wrongdoings. Qi Yan was going in, so was Qi Shengwu, and no one else could be blamed for that.

"Today, I went for ice cream with Shu Yi."

"She was with you?"

"Did Chang Zhiyuan look for you?"

The couple each posed their questions, knowing the answers without needing a reply from each other.

"As for their business, we should not interfere. If they are meant to be, nothing can separate them."

Shen Yin agreed, as the nature of destiny is truly mysterious.

Xu Xiuhe was playing with Zhengzheng, while Shen Yin was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Xu Xiuhe’s phone began to ring.

"Zhengzheng, play by yourself for a while. Daddy needs to take this call.”

"Okay."

Xu Xiuhe moved into the bathroom.

The number was unfamiliar.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Any progress?"

"We found out that Zhou Man, prior to her wedding, had illicit relationships with multiple individuals, both men and women.”

"I am aware."

Of course, Xu Xiuhe already knew this. What he wanted now was evidence, which he knew was hard to find. If he could locate it himself, he wouldn't need detectives.

"What's her current status? What about her family background?"

"She has no distinguished family background. She's originally from Pei City, and comes from a single-parent family. She used to frequent bars in high school, making money by accompanying others for drinks."

"What does she need so much money for?"

Xu Xiuhe questioned, well aware of the fact that Zhou Man had scammed 20 million from the Shen family.

"That is, her mother has leukemia. Initially, she made money to pay for her mother's treatment. Later, she indeed used her body and earned quite a lot. Her mother’s condition was controlled. She..."

"I’m a shareholder? When did that happen?”

Shen Yin was surprised, she put down the files in her hands and looked at Xu Xiuhe.

"You have a 10% stake. But I’m still the majority shareholder, how else would I be the CEO?”

“When did I become a shareholder?”

"The first time you cooked dinner, I had Liu Bo transfer 5% to you. The time you moved into the small building, I transferred another 5% to you.”

“That would explain the large amount in my bank account.”

“Is it a lot for you? What’s mine is now yours.”

“Is Liu Bo also a shareholder?”

“He is, but his share is slightly less than yours.”

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

As soon as the words came out of the mouths, Liu Bo, with a grimace, knocked on the office door.

“Boss.”

“Come in.”

"Is the project in Yang City finished?"

"Can it be done so soon?"

"So, what's the matter?"

"I'm taking leave."

Said Liu Bo.

"You're taking a leave?" Xu Xiuhe was a bit incredulous. Liu Bo usually complained about his long working hours, but when it came to work, he was more diligent than anyone else. The company's success today can't be separated from him.

"Yes. Xiao Li's father has been hospitalized with high blood pressure. As her future son-in-law, I ought to visit him."

"He's worth a visit. Go ahead."

Liu Bo didn't expect his leave application would go so smoothly.

"Hold on, when are you guys holding the wedding ceremony? I'll come to gift some money."

Liu Bo was almost out of the office door when he was stopped by Xu Xiuhe.

"A wedding ceremony?" Liu Bo touched his head, is this something worth considering? He and Xiao Li are just pretending at present.
