She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1657: Chapter 1734: Quite an Honor

Meng Ping’s mouth twitched; when it comes to venomous words, he could never outdo Su Huili. This guy, when insulting others, even insults himself—how could you not be afraid?

Su Huai’an waved the magazine in his hand and asked with a smile: ”Meng Ping, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?” He expressed doubt; it was too sudden and there had been no prior signs.

And the Steel King has substantial assets and an impressive background; how could it crumble overnight?

”Su Huai’an, are you questioning our magazine’s professionalism?” Meng Ping smiled smugly, yet slyly kept an eye on Sheng Ning, who was tending to a child.

He looked a bit lost and took a while to react.

”Where did you get your news sources?”

Meng Ping was briefly stunned and explained, ”The Ji Family offended someone, and somebody intentionally messed with them; now they’re just an empty shell. Also, the messy stuff they’ve been up to got reported to higher-ups somehow, so now all their assets are frozen.”

After saying this, his sexy lips curled into a reckless smile, his eyes filled with casual sarcasm, ”The bank froze assets, found out that the Steel King has no assets at all, and actually owes a lot of debts. Originally, Shen Ming wanted to keep it under wraps while seeking a chance to recover; do you think I’d give him that chance?”

Everything about the Shen Family was a thorn in Meng Ping’s side; he was delighted to seize any opportunity to ruin Shen Ming! Whether Shen Ming is innocent or not is none of his concern. After all, Shen Yu’s actions made Meng Ping want the entire Shen Family to pay.

”Alright! You’re pretty well-informed.” Su Hai tidied up his clothes.

”Hehe...” Meng Ping sneered; he specifically formed a group to monitor every move of the Shen Family to deal with them. Since Shen Ming married the Steel King’s woman, the Ji Family naturally fell within his surveillance. Besides, he’s in the business himself, the old man of the Meng Family is settled in the Northwest District, and that’s his base camp.

It’s not hard to get this kind of news; if Shen Ming wants to keep it a secret, Meng Ping intends for everyone to know.

”Hey! Sheng Ning.” Xu Mo felt a bit embarrassed, stood awkwardly at the entrance, and gave Sheng Ning a shy smile. Ever since Sheng Ning had an incident, Xu Mo was full of guilt, feeling like he wasn’t a man because he couldn’t protect even a woman.

Not really, although his sexual orientation is different from men, certain heroic complexes are similar. At the critical moment, having a woman save him made him feel useless, yet he also harbored gratitude and guilt.

”Xu Mo.” Sheng Ning’s eyes lit up, ”How are you?”

”I’m good.”

The two chatted as if no one else were around, mostly about the publication status of ”Rebirth.” After Sheng Ning learned that Xu Mo himself had continued writing the unfinished ”Rebirth,” he felt quite honored.

”Sheng Ning, although the book sales are great, I continued writing without your consent, are you angry?” Xu Mo asked anxiously.

”Of course not, I’m grateful to you.” In his past life, getting Xu Mo to take action would have been a tremendous honor. ”I’m too happy to be mad.”

”Really?” Xu Mo returned to his previous demeanor, and the sense of unfamiliarity between the two lessened significantly, becoming more enthusiastic in their discussion. They talked about story plotting, character setting, background architecture, and more.

Xu Mo is an expert in this area, with unique insights and sharp vision. He’s the type who can grasp the pulse of the times, where a casual idea can make an industry insider’s eyes light up.
