Chapter 560 -560: I Am Your Sister (15)

During this time, Chuzheng had been staying in the apartment, but Shen Ming discovered that there didn’t seem to be much more here than when he first came.

It was so empty that it felt desolate, without any trace of life.

Shen Ming set down his backpack, and Chuzheng had already gone into the bedroom, “Make yourself at home, good night.”

Her voice drifted over from afar.

Shen Ming: “…” If he remembered correctly, this apartment was under his name.

Shen Ming walked up to the bedroom door and knocked, “Have you eaten?”

“No.” The girl’s crisp and cold voice came through.

Shen Ming turned and headed for the kitchen, finding the fridge just as empty.

“…” How did she even survive here?

Shen Ming called Lin Yang to buy some groceries, made a simple bowl of noodles, and placed it on the dining table, pausing slightly when his gaze fell on a necklace thrown at the edge of the table.

Moments later, after wiping his hands, he called Chuzheng out to eat.

Chuzheng had planned to go hungry for the night as a way of dieting. She hadn’t expected Shen Ming to cook for her.

“You can cook?”

Shen Ming rolled up his sleeves, “One has to learn some things when living alone.”

He spoke calmly, without any complaint or dissatisfaction.

Chuzheng thought about how he was driven out of the Shen Family, fell silent, and ate her noodles in silence.

The noodle slipped into her mouth, and Chuzheng chewed thoughtfully. The taste was not bad…

After Chuzheng finished the bowl of noodles, Shen Ming took the initiative to place the bowl in the dishwasher.

“Don’t you like the gift I gave you?” Shen Ming picked up the necklace Chuzheng had abandoned on the table.

Chuzheng glanced at it, “It’s not a matter of like or dislike.”

“…” Shen Ming, still holding the necklace, stood behind Chuzheng, “Since you don’t hate it, let me put it on for you.”

Shen Ming’s words left no room for refusal.

Chuzheng turned abruptly, “Shen Ming.”

She called his full name, clearly and firmly, but it sounded better than anyone else’s.

“Call me ‘Brother’.” Shen Ming corrected, “Show some respect.”

“Shen Ming, I don’t like wearing other people’s things.” Chuzheng still addressed him in her own way.

Shen Ming met Chuzheng’s indifferent eyes, his sensual lips parting slightly, “I am your brother, not someone else. If you don’t like this one, shall I take you to pick another?”

[Little sister, I’m giving you the Good Person Card. How can you refuse? Such inhumanity isn’t allowed! Be good, understand?!]

Chuzheng: “…”

Did she really have to accept the Good Person Card he gave?

Why should she!

[Of course, if you don’t want it, and you step on a sore spot and make him angry, do you still expect the Good Person Card? Besides, the gifts you gave were accepted, weren’t they? It’s only polite to reciprocate! Don’t be inhumane!]

Chuzheng, the ‘inhumane’: “…”

Chuzheng snatched the necklace irritably and put it around her neck.

Shen Ming tidied her hair and asked as if without intent, “Aren’t you worried about Shen Corporation?”

“Will worrying prevent it from going bankrupt?” I’m not short on money; whether it goes bankrupt or not, it has little to do with me.

Shen Ming’s gaze drifted to the Imperial Green placed on the coffee table in the living room, “If you sold it, it would be enough to solve Shen Corporation’s urgent problems.”

“Too much trouble, I don’t want to.”

Suddenly, Shen Ming leaned in, almost enveloping Chuzheng in his arms, and whispered close to her ear, “Are you really giving me something so valuable?”

“Yes.” Chuzheng nodded, quickly taking it back, don’t let me see it!

Shen Ming stood up, “Do you want Shen Corporation to go bankrupt?”

“That’s not within my concerns.” She was already tired of squandering; she had no time to worry about whether Shen Corporation would go bankrupt or not.

–

Lin Yang was utterly bored sitting in the car, occasionally glancing in the direction of the apartment, though too far away to see anything.

Just as Lin Yang was dozing off, the car door was pulled open, and the vehicle dipped slightly.

“President Shen,” Lin Yang turned and greeted.

Shen Ming, holding the invaluable Imperial Green, had a very calm expression, yet Lin Yang felt a tinge of fear.

Generally, it’s during times like these that President Shen is the most fearsome.

Did something just happen?

Lin Yang didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily.

After a long while, Shen Ming spoke, “Let’s go back.”

Lin Yang swiftly started the car, and amid the roaring engine, he heard his boss’s voice, “Check her financial status and also see who she has been in contact with recently.”

Lin Yang naturally knew who ‘she’ referred to.

“Understood.”

Shen Ming received the information the next day, which was much more detailed than what he had requested.

A year ago, she was taken back to the Shen Family. Before she was brought back, she was raised by an ordinary family.

It could be said that the family’s economic status was very poor.

“Timid and cowardly in character?”

Shen Ming really couldn’t see any sign of timidity or cowardice in his sister.

Now when he thought about it, all he could recall was the girl’s chilly brows and eyes, and the coldness and aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

“Is there a problem with this information?” Shen Ming looked towards Lin Yang.

“President Shen, there are no issues. I started looking into it before she returned to the country. Since you didn’t ask for it, I hadn’t given it to you,” Lin Yang replied.

Shen Ming didn’t say anything more; it was Lin Yang’s responsibility to deliver any information as quickly as possible whenever he requested it.

Shen Ming gestured for Lin Yang to leave.

Besides the discrepancy in character, tracing the source of the funds was a never-ending process, involving quite a few companies, looping back and somehow connecting to Mrs. Shen.

Although it was peculiar, no one could pinpoint any significant issues.

It was as if Mrs. Shen had prepared a backup plan for her daughter.

A deceased person… no one knew what else she had done in her life.

Shen Ming set down the paperwork and looked up at the box of Imperial Green he had put aside. His fingertips brushed over it, his eyes flashing with a faint hint of amusement.

“Shen Chuzheng…”

–

Chuzheng was blocked by Fatty on the way to school.

Fatty was panting, supporting himself on the nearby handrail as he gasped for air, “Student Shen, good… good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Fatty fumbled in his backpack and took out yesterday’s Violet and Red Jade, “These things…”

“I said they were for you.”

“…You’re really giving them to me?” Fatty had thought Chuzheng was joking before, just testing him.

Now seeing Chuzheng’s manner, he stuttered with uncertainty.

“Yes.” Chuzheng was quite extravagant, “If you don’t like them, just toss them out.”

Fatty: “…”

He rushed to stuff the items into his backpack. He was now carrying items worth tens of millions.

“Student Shen, from now on you’re my Boss!” Fatty saluted, “Boss, you’re great.”

Chuzheng: “…”

What use is a minion?

Hmm!

To run errands!

That could work, that could work!

Chuzheng pretended to take it seriously and patted Fatty on the shoulder, “Work hard!”

[…] This is really a case of one daring to acknowledge, another daring to accept!

What Chuzheng did last night, probably everyone in the circle had heard the rumors. When she entered, many people sized her up.

Some even approached to cozy up but retreated immediately upon encountering Chuzheng’s cold demeanor.

The rumors of Shen Corporation’s bankruptcy became even more mysterious and confusing, and outsiders didn’t dare to recklessly kick Shen Corporation while it was down.

Chuzheng was clueless about all this.
