Chapter 235: Engagement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since Shen Yanqing communicated with his father that day, Shen Yanqing was still harassed by calls from an unknown number in the capital.
He had already blacklisted his mother’s number, so the other party could only use other people’s phones to call him.
Shen Yanqing chose to ignore them without exception.
This situation lasted for about four to five days before stopping abruptly.
That day, Shen Yanqing was at the Nan family’s house in Jiang City and his phone did not ring for the entire day.
The next day, he heard from the butler at home that not long after he set off for Jiang City yesterday, his father left for the airport alone. His destination was the capital.
Shen Yanqing knew very well who he was going to see and why.
His father did not stay in the capital for long. He only took a day to come back.
After that, his mother did not contact him again.
The father and son had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned it after that.
Nan Ge did not learn about the aftermath of this matter from Shen Yanqing. She secretly asked her little uncle, who was far away in the capital.
It had only been two days since school started. She stayed in the dormitory and chatted casually with her little uncle. In the end, she asked about Shen Yanqing’s mother casually.
Her little uncle seemed to understand her intentions from the beginning. He did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “If Shen Yanqing doesn’t help, his biological mother is destined to fail. The outcome is the same. She just has to get out of the capital with her tail between her legs and go back to where she came from.”
Different from the glory when she first entered the capital, Shen Yanqing’s mother could be said to have been completely skinned in terms of assets when she left. Her company was barely surviving in the country now. It was unlikely that she would have a way out in the next five to ten years.
In the future, if she wanted to survive in the northern market, she still needed the approval of those people in the capital. If those people did not give in, she would not have a chance.
As for the south… there was no need to mention it.
Shen Yanqing’s mother’s company consisted of a team that she had taken away from the Shen Corporation when she got a divorce. In the first few years, she had even poached a large number of orders and customers from them. Both parties were competitors.
At first, Mr. Shen was good-tempered and did not argue with his ex-wife. However, later on, Shen Yanqing’s mother became worse and the Shen family monopolized the market.
At that time, all the companies in the Huai River area knew about this.
This was also why when Shen Yanqing’s mother returned to the country not long ago, she immediately set her sights on the capital and not the Huai River area that she was more familiar with. This was because she knew very well that with the Shen family around, no one would openly offend them for her sake.
Even if the Shen Corporation did not publicly cut off her financial path back then, everyone in Huai River Imew about her previous relationship with the Shen Group and would not work with her rashly.
It was not worth it to openly challenge the Shen Corporation for this small bit of money. Everyone knew that it was better to make money long term instead of short term.
However, Shen Yanqing’s mother was not worthy of sympathy. She deserved to be beaten up by everyone.
Now, the only way for her to survive was overseas.
After knowing that Shen Yanqing’s mother would leave the country in the next few days, Nan Ge was finally relieved.
In March, Nan Ge took a few days off one after another.
Regarding the engagement party, most of the trivial matters were arranged by the two families. Shen Yanqing took care of the gowns and jewelry himself.
At most, she was just trying on clothes.
The gowns were all tailored and well-made. Nan Ge was a little tired after trying three or four pieces. She simply took a quick look at the last few pieces.
Shen Yanqing accurately grasped her preferences. Nan Ge was troubled for a long time. In the end, she finally picked out a few clothes to wear to the engagement party.
The rest of the clothes were sent to Shen Yanqing’s villa. The closet there was many times larger than the one in the large flat they were living in now. These clothes that they rarely wore were temporarily placed there for convenience. After the two families discussed it together, the invitations to the engagement banquet were sent out one after another.
On the day of the engagement banquet, most of the famous people in the political and business world in the Huai River district were present. It was even more exaggerated than ordinary business banquets.
As the protagonists of this banquet, Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing appeared later.
Amidst a wave of congratulations, the transparent ladder in front of the venue slowly stopped in front of the crowd. One could vaguely see the figures on it.
The lights in the venue dimmed. Nan Ge held her dress in one hand and Shen Yanqing’s arm in the other as they appeared in front of the public.
Beside her, Shen Yanqing was wearing a tie that was a little more lively than usual. It matched the color of her dress.
The handsome man and beautiful woman were extremely pleasing to the eye. Everyone present said that the Nan and Shen families were lucky.
That night, the six most expensive LED screens in Huai City displayed photos of the two of them at the banquet at the same time, making everyone envious.
The next morning, the Huai University forum exploded.
Especially the few people on the school debate team who knew Nan Ge. They had all seen Nan Gels boyfriend before. Although they had only met him once, they did not expect him to be Shen Yanqing.
Everyone on the forum was talking at once. There were all kinds of things.
The conversation on the forum was getting taller and taller. Just as it was about to explode, someone posted a new post and released a small clip of Shen Yanqing’s speech at Huai University last time. Other than Shen Yanqing himself, footage of someone who could not be overlooked could also be seen on the video. It was Nan Ge asking a question at that time.
[So that’s how they met. Did President Shen remember Nan Ge immediately?] [If you’re also so good-looking and still dare to ask such a question, don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be remembered.]
[So what if he didn’t remember her? With Nan Ge’s family background, it would be easy for her to know Shen Yanqing. Perhaps the two of them had met before.]
[That’s right. Nan Gel s father is Nan Zhengning. He was mentioned by the teachers in the business school every day. Shen Yanqing should be familiar with him.]
[ … Which school are you guys from? Don’t tell me you don’t know that Nan Ge applied to Huai University Business School because of President Shen?]
[Really?]
[Yes, I’m in the same class as Nan Ge. When the freshmen introduced themselves in their first year, she said it herself. Look, he’s taking accountability for her now, right?]
[F*ck, I’m also here for President Shen! Why is President Shen only responsible for Nan Ge?]
She took the time to look at the forum. The comments were not as bad as Nan Ge thought.
Compared to the time when people lied about her sexual life, this time was much more harmonious.
Most of the students were saying that they were well-matched and it was only right for them to be together.
There were no particularly ear-piercing voices.
After the engagement banquet, Nan Ge plunged into the sea of knowledge again. School started again after the summer break, and she officially entered her fourth year. At the end of the same year, the preliminary examination for postgraduate studies also finally began.
The night before, Nan Ge was not the only one who was nervous. Nan Zhe had also especially rushed over. In the end, not only did Shen Yanqing have to comfort Nan Ge, but he also had to take care of Nan Zhe’s emotions..
