Chapter 011: Rebirth of an Incident

Shen Tianming looked at his daughter with the embarrassment of being exposed. "Weilan, you really are clever!"

Weilan, seeing her father like this, felt a sour sting in her heart, yet she didn't want anyone to see her distress.

She opened the door with an indifferent expression and walked inside, saying as she walked, "Dad, if that's the case, you should go back, right?"

"Weilan, your demands are really too high!" Shen Tianming was somewhat troubled. "I can understand you wanting our family's shares, but asking for everything from Lu Hechen of the Lu Family is simply too much!"

"Lu Hechen is the husband listed on my marriage certificate. Shouldn't I want all of it?"

Shen Tianming: "...."

Shen Weilan knew that her father's agreement last night was just a delaying tactic.

Today's morning newspaper announcement had created a fait accompli, informing everyone that she was Lu Hechen's wife. Now, they thought the situation was established, so they came to negotiate lower terms with her, presuming she would have no choice but to compromise!

But Weilan was not that sort of person. She firmly told her father, "I won't change my mind, Dad. You should go back!"

"Weilan, how can you be like this?" Shen Tianming's face showed displeasure.

Weilan mocked herself inwardly; her parents were indifferent to her. If they were not good to her, naturally, she had to be better to herself!

"Dad, I am not a charity organization, nor am I Saint Mary. Why should I exchange my youth for your wealth and luxury without getting anything in return? Please don't bring this up again, I will not compromise! Suit yourself!"

After speaking, Weilan walked further inside.

Shen Tianming had no choice but to say, "At two o'clock this afternoon, come home to sign the transfer contract!"

Weilan turned around, facing her father's displeased expression. It seemed that even though he was displeased, he had come to terms with it.

Weilan gave her father a faint smile and nodded, "Okay, I will be there on time!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Weilan returned to the Shen Family home.

She arrived right on time, and as soon as she entered, she saw her parents and Lu Hechen's parents sitting in the living room, all with unfriendly expressions upon seeing her.

Weilan walked in, maintaining the etiquette she learned at her adoptive parents' home, not allowing herself to lose the manners due, even though they had come to a head. She still retained an air of grace.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Lu, Auntie Lu!"

Lu Yuanhe gave her a nod, his expression matching his personality—without much expression, seeming quite aloof and inscrutable.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Lu gave a derisive snort, as if she especially disdained Weilan.

Mrs. Shen also had a cold face.

Shen Tianming's expression softened slightly: "Weilan, come here, let's talk."

"Mhm!" Shen Weilan came over and sat down. Facing the four elders, she did not feel intimidated. She looked around; there were only the five of them, and no lawyer was present.

Weilan asked, "Dad, without the lawyer here, discussing the transfer of shares doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Shen Tianming looked at Lu Yuanhe, and the two exchanged a glance.

It was then that Shen Tianming spoke, "Weilan, there has been a change related to this matter. Uncle Lu means that giving you a five percent stake of Hechen's shares will suffice."

Shen Weilan was taken aback, as she had expected this.

She was very calm, giving a slight smile that made her look even more stunningly cold, "Dad, this makes it the third time you've gone back on your word."

Upon seeing Weilan's demeanor, Mrs. Lu immediately frowned, "Weilan, giving you five percent is already the limit. Hechen's assets are worth billions. Giving them to you for nothing seems quite impropriate, doesn't it?"

"Auntie Lu, billions in shares are indeed impressive. But now, once the news of Lu Hechen's accident leaks, the stock market will fluctuate instantly, and the losses you face are likely to be much more than a few billion, right?" Weilan replied indifferently.
