Upon hearing this, Chen Ying felt reassured and asked, “Is there any news from Chi Ming?”

At the mention of this, Shen Qingyue’s mood instantly sank. She had tried calling Chi Ming today, but still couldn’t get through. The same was true for Zhang Jianci and Chen Jiang. However, she was tied up with her family matters now, and could only ask others to investigate. Yet, there was still no news of Chi Ming.

Her voice was almost inaudible, “Perhaps no news is the best news. I’ve been waiting at the disaster site all day, searching everywhere. If news suddenly comes, it might be about Chi Ming’s death. I’d rather have no news at all.”

Chen Ying sensed her despondency and didn’t dare to continue asking. She quickly changed the topic, “Grandpa Shen woke up during the day. Should we tell him about Yan Xi? I feel there’s something suspicious about Yan Xi getting the property transfer agreement. Although Grandpa cares about family, he’s not foolish. Transferring the group to Yan Xi now… isn’t that a joke?”

“I don’t plan to tell him about this for now. He can’t handle any more shocks…” Shen Qingyue was well aware of Shen Jun’s health condition. Another surgery might make it difficult for him to recover.

“But if you hide it from him and deal with Yan Xi, won’t he be angry?” Chen Ying was concerned. After all, Yan Xi was Grandpa Shen’s own granddaughter. Some things were really hard for them to handle.

“Perhaps… but I have to do this.” At first, she had let Yan Xi be, thinking she wouldn’t do anything harmful to Shen Jun. But now? Yan Xi did not care about Shen Jun at all. If she let her continue unchecked, the Shen family would be ruined. She couldn’t bear to see her grandpa get hurt again.

Chen Ying knew she was in a difficult position and said, “Take care of yourself. I’m here for you.”

Shen Qingyue’s heart warmed, “Thank you.”

The next day was the inauguration ceremony prepared for Yan Xi by Xu Fengzhi and others. The venue was chosen at the city’s most luxurious hotel, decorated extravagantly and high-end.

This was Yan Xi’s personal choice. Since becoming the Young Miss of the Shen family, she demanded the most expensive things in every aspect of her life. In just a few days, she spent money that most ordinary people hadn’t seen in their lifetime.

To pave the way for Yan Xi, Xu Fengzhi naturally invited the heads of major companies, but to her surprise, half of them did not show up. She did not want to admit it, but what was her identity? And what was Yan Xi’s status? Without an invitation from Shen Jun or Shen Qingyue, who would give them face? Did they really think this was some entertainment news, that anyone and everyone would come to watch the show?

Seeing this situation, Yan Xi’s composure shattered. “Aunt, why haven’t several big business tycoons come? What does this mean? Do they look down on me?”

Xu Fengzhi couldn’t care less about Yan Xi, but it was precisely because of this foolish woman that she had some use. She smiled and reassured her, “You’re overthinking it! You’re now the Young Miss of the Shen family. Who would dare to look down on you? The people I invited are all big shots in the business world; they’re very busy, probably just too occupied to make it.”

Hearing this, Yan Xi’s mood slightly improved.

Not long after, Shen Qingyue arrived. She was dressed in a white turtleneck cashmere sweater, covered with a black coat. Her long black hair was tied at the back of her head, and her whole demeanor was sharp and confident, exuding a strong aura.

Yan Xi glanced at herself. Clearly, she was dressed elegantly, but she still felt overshadowed by Shen Qingyue. She gritted her teeth and approached with a bright smile. “I thought you wouldn’t come today…”

Shen Qingyue gave her a glance. “What? Afraid I’ll steal your thunder? I think there’s no need to compete, right?”

Yan Xi’s face stiffened. She might have dressed expensively, but her understanding of elegance was simply piling valuable things on herself, ignoring the advice of stylists. So, her outfit looked a bit tacky. “Sister Qingyue, what are you saying? Today is my inauguration. I was just worried that you, the former President, might feel awkward.”

Shen Qingyue sneered, “The inauguration ceremony hasn’t even finished yet, and the work hasn’t been handed over. How am I already the former President? I know you don’t understand these things, but at least try to learn. Don’t embarrass yourself the moment you open your mouth.”

Her words were sharp, showing no intention of calming the situation.

Yan Xi felt mocked again, her face turning ugly. She clenched her teeth and continued to smile. “Sister Qingyue, you’ve misunderstood me…”

As she spoke, she caught sight of two more people entering the room from the corner of her eye, a sly smile flickering in her eyes. She knew very well that the person Shen Qingyue least wanted to see was Qin Zhen, especially when she saw Wei Jiu’er holding onto Qin Zhen.. Yan Xi immediately greeted Qin Zhen warmly, “President Qin, you’re here!”
