Shen Wan stood in front of the dressing mirror, and the woman inside the mirror perfectly embodied the essence of “elegance” from her hair to her toes. After making sure everything was in order, she left the bedroom and went downstairs for breakfast.
When she appeared in front of everyone, the air seemed to freeze, and the clinking of knives and forks ceased instantly, disappearing completely.
“Dad, Auntie, good morning.”
Shen Chunjiang looked her up and down, then expressed satisfaction, “I see someone is looking forward to making some changes as a leader. Even though Mingya is a small temple, you must do well. After all, there are still incense offerings.”
“Dad, you’re right. I will work hard as the President and won’t let you down.” Shen Wan pulled out a chair and sat down. The servants arranged her breakfast and left. As they departed, they couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her, but Shen Wan just smiled and ignored it.
Yang Lan’s eyes were a bit dazed and unfocused. When Shen Wan appeared, she seemed to see a young Li Xiaoyun in her youth. That face, that temperament, truly a mother and daughter!
“Wanwan looks good.” Shen Ru casually remarked, neither praising nor criticizing, and then continued to eat. There was a perfect smile on her lips, dignified and elegant.
Shen Qian’s expression stayed the same, showing no noticeable change. When he looked at her, his gaze resembled Shen Chunjiang’s, impressively appropriate, but it carried a greater sense of contentment. This subtle response put Shen Wan at ease, as she had been quietly observing him.
That bracelet…
Maybe she was too sensitive? The word “Ares” might not necessarily represent that particular meaning. The God of War could also symbolize courage.
But if she looked a bit closer, she would notice that the First Master Shen, who always paid attention to table manners, had a white milk stain around the bottom of his glass, clearly spilled from inside.
Since Shen Yan was staying at the school and not at home, this breakfast was unusually calm.
“Wanwan.”
“Dad?” She walked over in high heels.
“Get in the car. 1’11 take you to the company first. Whenever you’re free, you can have Ah Qian assist you in selecting a car that suits your commuting needs. Alternatively, you can head straight to the garage to make your choice. If you’d prefer not to drive on your own, 1 can arrange for Steward Zhou to provide you with a chauffeur.
“Thanks, Dad. But 1 have a car.” She reached into her bag and took out the car keys, shaking them lightly in her hand, with the pride of a young daughter evident in her eyes, her eyebrows and eyes dancing with excitement.
“Is this… Third Brother’s car?” Shen Chunjiang looked surprised, and the look in his eyes towards Shen Wan now held more than just curiosity.
Shen Chunhang had always preferred not to get involved in family matters. Living alone outside, he was carefree and indifferent. Not caring was, in a way, a form of indifference.
In fact, he had gifted Shen Wan the brand-new car he had recently purchased, which was quite surprising in its own right. After all, while Shen Ru and Shen Yan had also received presents from him, none of those gifts were as valuable as the car Shen Wan received.
As for Shen Chunjiang’s complex thoughts, Shen Wan didn’t think much of them. She nodded and calmly replied, “Third Uncle said it’s a gift for our first meeting.”
The Maserati red four-door sports car, which had been trapped in the underground garage for several days, finally saw the light of day.
There was a reason why the Maserati was called a “luxury car”, and as soon as Shen Wan sat in it, she knew it was a top-notch vehicle.
She had already obtained her driver’s license, and the car’s insurance and registration had been taken care of by Steward Zhou a week ago. She drove swiftly to the underground parking lot of the office building where Mingya Advertising Agency was located.
Shifting gears, reversing, parking smoothly, turning off the engine—she was more skilled than a seasoned driver, not at all like someone new to the road..
