Chapter 103

Shen Youlin acted as the boss's wife at the annual meeting, completely ignoring Yin Minbi as if she was an arrogant imperial concubine looking down on the loyal minister who had made things difficult for her before she rose to power.

The annual meeting was lively. Although the company had only been established for a few months, the employees were extremely loyal. The company was even rated as one of the happiest companies on the Internet.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Yu Shu found an opportunity to slip away for some fresh air out on the balcony. The hotel balcony was decorated with a few pots of chrysanthemums. The plants were feeble and swayed constantly in the cold wind, but they had a graceful beauty and the flowers were still vibrant.

Yin Minbi found Yu Shu taking a break out on the balcony. They clinked glasses. "Boss, happy new year. Thanks for the generous year-end bonus."

"Happy new year," Yu Shu blinked. "Keep up the good work next year and get me a bigger villa."

They laughed and drained their glasses.

"Nice necklace."

Yu Shu touched the emerald diamond necklace around her neck. "A gift from Shen Youlin."

Yin Minbi smiled meaningfully. "Watch out for a warning from the dungeon."

"Huh?" Yu Shu quickly caught her implication. "How much do you know about Shen Youlin's situation?"

"I know some things, but not much. Yu Yan said when Shen Youlin was young, he was locked up for a long time. After that incident, Mr. and Mrs. Yu took him to Rong City to be raised and he underwent a long period of psychological treatment and mental intervention."

"How long is a long time?" Yu Shu asked with a frown.

Yin Minbi shook her head. "Yu Yan didn't go into details. I majored in emotional psychology as a second major in college. When Yu Yan found out, he asked me to take a look at Shen Youlin. His condition wasn't very good at the time and he was very resistant to professional psychologists."

Not very good condition? What does that mean?

"You know, some victims can turn into perpetrators under certain conditions. Shen Youlin was showing slight violent tendencies at the time, and his desire to control was growing stronger and stronger. Necklaces, padlocks and other accessories worn around the neck would make him uncontrollably produce sadistic thoughts."

Yu Shu felt like her heart was being gripped tightly by a hand. She couldn't breathe.

Yin Minbi went on, "Yu Yan worried too much. Shen Youlin didn't need any treatment or intervention at all. He had caged the beast within himself very well."

"He's strong," said Yu Shu.

No, people who are strong are so pitiful. If possible, if someone could rely on them, who would choose to be strong and shoulder everything themselves?

Zhiyang put away her phone. "Right, I'll make an extra long compilation of your most embarrassing moments for your 80th birthday party."

Xu Kai, Ou Doudou’s husband, half-jokingly said to Bai Xuan'an, "Brother, see, this is why you can't indulge women. They just get more and more out of control."

Zhiyang gave a cold laugh and took a sip of wine. She never liked Xu Kai.

Drunk, Shen Youlin refused. He leaned against Yu Shu saying, "Women are meant to be doted on. The more you dote, the better."

Zhiyang raised her glass to liven things up. "Hear, hear. Cheers!"

"Pour some juice for Fangyu."

"Cheers!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happiness!"

After the meal, Ou Doudou and Xu Kai started quarreling as soon as they got into the taxi.

"What was that you said back there? Women can't be doted on? Didn't you see everyone laughing at me?!"

Xu Kai was instantly annoyed. "What did I do?! I was just joking around. You're being unreasonable."

"Is that any way to joke around? Look at the three men at the table. You're the only one without money or skill! And you still have such a big ego!"

"Are you saying I don't have money?! You knew I didn't have money from day one! Who doesn't have skills? I was this close to a promotion until you insisted on coming to Rong City!"

"Was it wrong to come to Rong City? To stop your mother from meddling all day at home?! I gave up a round the world trip to take care of you!"

"Did I ask you not to go? I told you to go at the time. You chose not to. And now you blame me?"

"Go with what money? How could I comfortably go without a penny to my name?"

Xu Kai gave a cold laugh. "Isn't Yu Shu rich? Use her money! Don't pretend you didn't want to come to Rong City to ride on her coattails. And what happened? She doesn't even bother with you! Yet you don't have the nerve to ask her for help, so you're left dangling in limbo..."

Ou Doudou felt he had pointed out her innermost thoughts. She slapped him across the face. "You...you bastard!"
