Chapter 61: The Struggle of Wills
Regarding the Lu family, Shang Yucheng originally wanted to find Ye Shen to help her enter Huijin, so he briefly stated her plan to entrap suppliers.
Ye Shen listened without saying a word, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
In all fairness, Ye Shen really didn't need to help Lu Jingcheng, even if it was a fake help. Shang Yucheng understood this, but her plan had reached this point, and the change was too difficult and time-consuming, and she didn't want to waste more time - maybe Shang Yucheng was willing to take revenge at all costs, but gradually, because of Ye Shen's vague expectations for the future, she was no longer willing to continue like this.
"You mean to let the Ye family offer huge discounts to all the suppliers of Huijin to help Lu Jingcheng win people's hearts?" Ye Shen listened to her words and looked at her and said.
Shang Yucheng looked at him apologetically, "I know that such a request is not reasonable, but if I can't do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find other opportunities to enter Huijin-" She paused, "All the losses incurred by the Ye Clan will be compensated by me." β
Ye Shen looked at her, his expression did not wave, "You know, this has nothing to do with money." β
Shang Yucheng nodded, "That's right. If you open this door to Huijin's suppliers, it will affect the entire price system of Yip's shipping company - for Yip's, this is much more important than money. β
She looked at Ye Shen, "Although I hope you can promise me, even if you don't, I will never blame you." β
Ye Shen shook his head, "Ye's shipping is one of the many enterprises of my Ye family, even if the price of Ye's shipping is reduced by ten times now, it will never shake the foundation of the Ye family, I don't care about the price system at all." He looked at Shang Yucheng, "What I care about is just you." β
Shang Yucheng paused and said ashamedly, "I understand." β
"You don't understand." Ye Shen shook his head in disappointment, "I have always felt in my heart that it is more important for you to live safely than anything else, so whether you are willing to take revenge or make me wait, I willingly accept it." He paused, then continued, "But now I don't understand you, if you can eat peacefully with someone you hate, then why should you be obsessed with revenge?" β
"Have you ever thought about-" Ye Shen looked at Shang Yucheng, "If the revenge is avenged, this result is exchanged for the means you maneuver between men, isn't it against your original intention?" β
Maybe Ye Shen said this, he just felt that he was just talking about things. But it was extremely harsh in Shang Yucheng's ears. The words "circling among men" suddenly evoked the memories of the vicious accusations, insults and abuses against her five years ago, and made her shiver.
She looked at Ye Shen coldly, "What kind of means I used, you have been clear since you knew me, and I have never said that I am innocent and kind-" Shang Yucheng took a step back, looked at Ye Shen's eyes, and sneered, "Now you just see through my methods-if you see through me one day, I'm afraid you will be even more surprised." β
After speaking, Shang Yucheng put down the water cup in his hand and resolutely turned around to leave.
Ye Shen realized that his words touched Shang Yucheng's pain point, and he hurriedly grabbed her, "I didn't mean that-"
Shang Yucheng shook off his hand and took a step back. Looking at Ye Shen's somewhat panicked look, most of her anger dissipated, as if her enthusiasm was burned by fire, and her heart was much colder in an instant, she looked at Ye Shen, her originally angry face gradually flattened, "You don't have to be like this, I understand what you mean." β
Ye Shen shook his head a little eagerly, "NoβI didn't mean to accuse you or judge youβ"
Shang Yucheng lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I know, Ye Shen." I understand your good intentions. β
Ye Shen looked at Shang Yucheng, and his overwhelmed appearance was completely devoid of the pride of Ye Dashao in the past, which made Shang Yucheng inexplicably a little sad.
It's that she can't afford this heart, and she doesn't deserve his cherishment. She knew it from the beginning, but she intended to hide the truth and lie to herself.
Shang Yucheng hardened his heart and looked up at Ye Shen, "Even if you can't see my methods and have no way, for me, revenge is more important than anything else-" She paused, "Including you." β
Ye Shen's expression stiffened, and he looked at her without speaking.
"Blame me for not making it clear to you earlier, it's because I can't stand you." Shang Yucheng smiled reluctantly, "But fortunately, it's not too late." β
"Yucheng-" Ye Shen's eyebrows furrowed, and he called out a little eagerly.
Shang Yucheng shook his head and interrupted him, "I should go." β
The heels gently tapped the ground, and the rhythmic sound slowly faded away.
Ye Shen stood in place, and only after a while did he look back in the direction that Shang Yucheng left, but the staircase was empty, only the uneven black shadows of the staircase handrails were reflected in the corridor lights up and down.
ββ
"Miss, you've been reading this newspaper for an hourβ" Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng who couldn't help but say, "Do you have something on your mind?" β
Shang Yucheng put down the newspaper, "It's nothing. I just saw the news written in the newspaper and thought about something. β
Xianglin glanced at the newspaper, which had a large headline written "Zhang Yang Bing Advises Peaceful Settlement".
Xianglin got up and served Shang Yucheng a bowl of hot soup, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Miss to care so much about national affairs!" β
Shang Yucheng smiled and didn't speak, his mind was still on the news he had just seen. At that time, the time when Takakura Moon kidnapped herself happened to be after the military admonition incident, and she was suddenly so eager for that code book, could the inducement be the so-called military admonition? Perhaps she was anxious to get hold of the code so that she could find out what was going on in Xi'an at that time. So who does that password belong to?
Shang Yucheng was a little curious, but it was only a little. She knew that Ye Shen would never tell her such a secret thing, and naturally she would not go to the bottom of it.
Shang Yucheng thought back to the moment when Ye Shen saved herself, maybe it was the only moment when her dream came true, and it was also her sudden realization that maybe in addition to revenge and finding her son, her life might have other meanings.
"Miss, hurry up and eat." Xianglin looked up at the wall clock on the wall and urged. "You haven't changed your clothes yet."
Shang Yucheng looked up, "Is anyone coming today?" β
Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng and frowned, in the past two days, except for going out to school, Shang Yucheng almost stayed at home, often stayed in the room and was distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You forgot? The second young master said yesterday that Miss Leng's new jewelry store was opened, and he wanted to take you to Daoxi. Xianglin reminded.
"Isn't it written in this newspaper?" She stretched out her hand and pointed to a piece of news in the newspaper in front of Shang Yucheng, "Leng's boutique jewelry store opens today-" Xianglin read, "Didn't you see it after looking at it for a long time?" β
"Oh." Shang Yucheng nodded, this is an important day. After two sips of soup, she put down her chopsticks and got up to go to the room to change her clothes.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort, and Lu Jingcheng came. Shang Yucheng changed his clothes, and the two rushed to Leng Hui's new store.
The opening of a new store in such a hurry was of course thanks to Mr. Hoffmann's help. Leng Hui looked at the dazzling array of beautiful jewelry in the store complacently, and felt very proud.
If he hadn't persuaded Mr. Hoffman to come up with his own personal design, Leng would never have opened a new store in such a short period of time. Leng's ability to sweep away the sluggish atmosphere brought about by the fake jewelry turmoil is entirely due to himself. This must have satisfied my father, right? Leng Hui couldn't hide a smile on her face.
"Miss, Mr. Lu is here." The store manager is a staff member transferred from other Leng stores, and he is very stable and has a clever eye. Seeing Lu Jingcheng coming, he hurriedly walked over to remind Leng Hui.
Hearing that it was Lu Jingcheng, Leng Hui hurriedly cut her hair and walked to the door to greet her.
As soon as Shang Yucheng got out of the car, he saw Leng Hui coming out of the door, dressed in a water-red cheongsam and wearing a snow-white fox fur coat outside, which was very eye-catching. About to see Lu Jingcheng, she walked over this way.
"What are you doing in a daze, Yucheng." Lu Jingcheng got out of the car, "It's such a cold weather, don't go in quickly." With that, he pulled Shang Yucheng towards Leng Hui.
"Miss Leng, congratulations." Lu Jingcheng walked up to Leng Hui and said happy with a smile.
"Thank you!" Leng Hui replied with a spring breeze on her face, and when she saw Shang Yucheng standing with Lu Jingcheng, her face turned cold, and she quickly said with a smile, "Miss Shang is also hereβplease come inside." β
Shang Yucheng saw Leng Hui's thoughts at a glance, sneered in his heart, and followed Lu Jingcheng into the store indifferently.
Walking into the store, Shang Yucheng was really taken aback. From the outside, the store looks only medium-sized, but inside it is five or six hundred square meters, and except for the counter on the right-hand side, there are bright glass jewelry cabinets and models, which look spacious and beautiful.
"Sure enough!" Lu Jingcheng praised with a smile, "I didn't expect Miss Leng to be a blockbuster if she didn't make a sound!" β
Leng Hui smiled and shook her head, "Don't coax me to play, how can such a small shop get into the eyes of the young man of Huijinβno, no!" Leng Hui hurriedly smiled and changed her words, "Now it's not a young son, it's a serious owner." β
Leng Hui pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes swept over Shang Yucheng intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled at Lu Jingcheng again, "Speaking of which, I have a friend to introduce to you." How about you come with me and talk about it? β
Lu Jingcheng originally planned to befriend Leng Hui, of course he would not refuse, he was about to ask Shang Yucheng to go over, but he heard Leng Hui say, "We are talking about business, Miss Shang is probably going to be bored." She took Shang Yucheng's hand affectionately, "In addition to the new jewelry in the store, there are also a number of pieces from Mr. Hoffman's private collection and the exhibits we borrowed from foreign jewelry museums. The most rare in the middle cabinet was brought by a British princess. Why don't you go and see how ????"
Shang Yucheng glanced at Leng Hui, smiled lightly and withdrew his hand, "Then I'll go and join in the fun." He turned his head to Lu Jingcheng and said, "You go, I'll take a stroll casually." β
Lu Jingcheng hesitated, but nodded, "Then I'll come when I go." β
Shang Yucheng hummed in a low voice and watched Lu Jingcheng and Leng Hui walk towards the crowd.
"In the past, you refused to suffer a loss, why did you call such a little girl so bullied that she couldn't speak?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Shang Yucheng was stunned and turned around.
"Ye Shen." Shang Yucheng smiled slightly, "You're here too." β
Ye Shen nodded, frowned and glanced at the backs of Leng Hui and Lu Jingcheng, "This is what you arranged?" β
Shang Yucheng was stunned, the last time he had a fight like Ye Shen, he was able to say everything, but Ye Shen didn't have any mustard at all, "No." She shook her head.
If it was for her previous plan, she would never let a woman like Leng Hui appear between herself and Lu Jingcheng, otherwise once there was something, the work of laying the foundation in the past two years would be in vain.
But now, she is a little unhappy. Xu is recent arrangements have been going well, making her feel that she is getting closer and closer to the goal of successful revenge, so she doesn't want to have these battles with Leng Hui at this time.
Ye Shen listened to her answer, looked at her face carefully, and frowned slightly.
Shang Yucheng looked at his inquiring gaze and knew what he meant at once. Maybe he felt that his malaise was because of him.
Perhaps, he was not wrong in his thinking.
Shang Yucheng sighed in his heart and said with a light smile, "There is one more thing I want to tell you." β
"What's the matter?" Ye Shen asked.
"Xianglin's business." Shang Yucheng lowered his voice and said, "At that time, you sent Xianglin to my house for the matter of that wax pill, but now that this matter is already over, Xianglin should also go back." She paused, "Xianglin and Arwen are fiancΓ©es, and they shouldn't be separated forever. β
This meant to completely cut off contact with Ye Shen, Ye Shen looked at Shang Yucheng and did not speak.
Shang Yucheng saw that he didn't speak, so he had to continue, "Then I'll send her away in two days." β
Ye Shen looked at her, and suddenly smiled, revealing the casual demeanor of the merry boy, "Are you so afraid of me?" β
Shang Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of what you're going to do?" Isn't what I'm telling the truth? She's the one who does things for you, and she always stays with me to do something. β
Ye Shen said, "Xianglin came out of our Ye family's old mansion, I just watched her be clever and occasionally sent her to do something." It doesn't matter if she stays with you. After a pause, he looked at Shang Yucheng again, and said with a smile, "What's more, you want to break up with me, but I didn't answer you." β
As soon as Ye Shen's words came out, Shang Yucheng couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't wait for her to say anything, he turned around and flew away.
Didn't respond to yourself? What are these words? Shang Yucheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, now he sees him doing things seriously, but he forgets that he is the most willful and free temper.
She glanced at Ye Shen's back, and couldn't help but feel some envy and yearning in her heart. It is that he carries the heaviest responsibility, but he can still do such a wanton thing, which is about a kind of courage.
After a moment of silence, Shang Yucheng continued to stroll, and before he took a few steps, he saw Mr. Hoffman standing in front of him with a smile, "Miss Shang." β
