Chapter 238 – How could a woman as beautiful as yourself not have a dance partner? (2)
Shen Weiyin didn’t immediately recognize him. It was only after he introduced himself that she suddenly recalled that this person was Lu Beichuan’s second uncle and had been living abroad for several years.
It wasn’t that no one had invited her to dance, but that her sights were set high. No one could match her skill level in dancing.
Although... she looked over this tall, handsome, and humorous man and stretched her hand out.
“It’s my honor.” Lu Shaoyan courteously kissed the back of her hand. Following the rhythm of the music, they spun around on the dance floor.
“Miss Shen, it’s been so long since I last saw you. You’ve become more and more beautiful.”
Shen Weiyin slightly smiled. “Mr. Lu, you’ve become more and more handsome too.”
“The genes of the Lu’s have always been very good.” Lu Shaoyan looked through the gap in the crowd to see Ye Zhen whispering something to Lu Beichuan. “I thought you and Beichuan would end up as a couple. Who would have thought... Well, people are subject to the whims of fortune.”
Shen Weiyin remained silent.
“Although I was young when I went abroad, I knew there were three major companies in Haibin. Lu Corporation and Shen Corporation occupied the top two positions. But something seems to have happened to Shen Corporation recently?”
A hint of surprise flashed over Shen Weiyin’ face, but it quickly disappeared without leaving any traces. She smiled and asked, “Mr. Lu, where do you hear this gossip?”
Lu Shaoyan raised his eyebrows. “Really? You haven’t heard about Shen Corporation’s failed investment?”
Some gossip wasn’t baseless. Although they might be exaggerated, there was still some truth to them.
Shen Weiyin had already known about this matter a year ago. Old Master Shen didn’t have a successor, and she knew that her family business wouldn’t be able last long. At its current crumbling and precarious state, it was only a hollow shell with a glamorous facade. The only family that could afford to throw huge capital into Shen Corporation was the Lu’s.
Although the Lu’s and the Shen’s were family friends, it was limited to her grandfather’s generation. In the generations below Old Master Shen and Old Master Lu, there was no such thing as a friendship that experienced life and death together.
The Shen’s wanted the Lu’s to help them by filling in their huge deficiency with funds, but that required an excellent relationship between the two families.
Moreover, Lu Beichuan was the one in control in the Lu’s. Unless they were a family, why would he lend them a helping hand?
Although Lu Shaoyan said those words, Shen Weiyin’s expression remained unchanged. “Is that so? I’m not involved in the family business, so I’m not too clear about that.”
Lu Shaoyan chuckled. He wasn’t surprised that this woman would pretend to be stupid and unaware.
“Miss Shen, you actually don’t know about this? Well, I advise you to pay more attention to your family business. After all, if the Shen’s go bankrupt, your following days probably won’t be good.”
Shen Weiyin’s feet were sluggish to react, and the dance steps were messy for a moment. However, it only lasted for a moment before her smooth dancing resumed.
“What’s your purpose in saying this?”
“If the Shen Corporation is bankrupt, so many people will lose their jobs. You know, I’ve always been a kind-hearted person, so I can’t stand to see something like that happening. Moreover... Miss Shen is so beautiful. I wouldn’t want you to be swallowed by the wolf’s lair that is the entertainment circle.”
The smile swiftly dropped off of Shen Weiyin’s face. “If you continue to say such nonsense, you and I have nothing to talk about.”
“Look, my nephew already has a son and his relationship with his wife is good enough they’re practically stuck at the hips. There’s no gap for you to stick a needle in. Why don’t you look for another target? What do you think of me?”
Intuition told Shen Weiyin that plotting with this person was like discussing with a wicked person to give up his own interest. It was doomed to fail just like asking a tiger for its skin.
