"Who's here?" Xiang Nuan had already straightened her skirt and came over.
Shen Yanshi opened the door and led her to the living room: "The person who came to die."
After a while, Mrs. Chen invited Cao Lian and Gong Nian in.
Shen Yanshi sat on the sofa and looked at Cao Lian with faint eyes: "Why do you still have time to come to me?"
Cao Lian's face looked a little tired, his back was slightly bent, and his eyes were filled with fear and fawning when he looked at Shen Yan.
"During the banquet, what happened last time was my fault, but now the Cao family is suffering from these unreasonable disasters..."
Shen Yanshi interrupted expressionlessly: "What does the Cao family's affairs have to do with me?"
Cao Lian's face was tense, and he really couldn't say a word to refute.
At least on the surface, the heavy losses suffered by the Cao family have nothing to do with Shen Yanshi. Just like the scandal that Xiang Nuan exposed a few days ago, the Cao family has nothing to do with it.
But they knew each other well.
Cao Lian finally couldn't hold back anymore and lowered his head: "Yes, everything the Cao family is suffering now is all because of me. It was my fault during the banquet. I didn't want to offend you. Can you, can you show your noble hand? Let the Cao family go?"
Shen's sudden withdrawal of capital caught the Cao family by surprise, and their capital chain was almost broken. Originally, the Cao family relied on Shen for most of its industry.
What's more, the Mingting Hotel, the largest property of the Cao family, is still involved in the scandal of secret filming, and he can't suppress it, although he knows very well that Shen Yanshi is also behind this incident.
Shen Yanshi leaned against the back of the sofa, crossed his legs, and had a cold smile on his lips: "Cao Lian, do you still remember what I told you before?"
Cao Lian's face looked a little ugly, of course he remembered.
A few days ago, Shen Yan came to see him at the Mingting Hotel. The last thing he said before leaving was: "The next time you come to beg me, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Cao Leng was panicked and said in a much humbler tone: "It was my fault during the banquet. I should be honest with you. I made a mistake in this matter."
He looked at Xiang Nuan next to Shen Yanshi, with a rare respectful and sincere attitude: "I still have to apologize to Xiang Nuan. It was my hotel's negligence that led to such misunderstanding. I really know that I was wrong. I will try again next time." I don’t dare anymore.”
Xiang Nuan looked cold and said nothing. She knew very well that his apology was for his own property and had nothing to do with her.
It’s really hard to impress people.
Seeing that Xiang Nuan didn't buy it, he felt annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he looked at Shen Yanshi with a more humble attitude: "Yanshi, I already knew I was wrong, can you just stop here..."
"It's not impossible for me to stop."
Cao Lian's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Thank you so much for the banquet..."
Shen Yanshi raised his hand and interrupted him: "I have a request."
Cao Lian froze and asked cautiously: "What's the request?"
"Bring out the hotel's surveillance cameras that day, hold a formal press conference, make it public, explain to the public that what happened that day was purely the hotel's negligence, clarify the truth for my fiancée, and restore her reputation."
Xiang Nuan's matter has been making waves on the Internet for several days. The words "Xiang Nuan get out of the entertainment industry" are still high. The photo of her and Qin An in the same room has become irrefutable evidence of cheating.
If this matter is not explained clearly, she will become a tainted artist in the future and her acting career will come to an end, not to mention the troublesome people from the Shen family.
But now that there is "irrefutable evidence", Xiang Nuan cannot prove his innocence even if he opens his mouth 800 times. Only Mingting Hotel stands up to clarify this innocence.
Cao Lian's face instantly turned ugly, and he said awkwardly: "If you do this, the hotel's reputation will be completely ruined. Don't embarrass me during the banquet."
Not to mention the behind-the-scenes operation, he secretly opened the door of the customer's room, secretly assigned the customer's room card to others, and summoned reporters to block the door. Each of these things is enough to ruin the reputation of Mingting Hotel!
If the surveillance camera is handed over for clarification, Xiang Nuan has been cleared. Isn't the Mingting Hotel still a dead end?
Shen Yanshi sneered: "So you came here with two empty hands and a mouth? Do you think I'm easy to talk to, or do you think I'm stupid? When did I give you such a misunderstanding?"
Cao Lian's face was ashen, and thin beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Gong Nian finally couldn't help but speak: "During the banquet, Ah Lian and we are all friends who grew up together. Why do we have to do something so cruel and push people to a dead end?"
Shen Yanshi raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes covered with frost: "Is it possible that his plan didn't push Xiang Nuan to a dead end?"
Gong Nian hesitated for a moment and glanced at Xiang Nuan beside him, with jealousy hidden in his eyes.
How can that kind of woman compare with them?
Shen Yanshi was already a little impatient: "You want me to let you go so lightly. It's impossible. If Xiang Nuan's matter is not solved for me, don't think about anything."
Gong Nian looked at him pleadingly: "During the banquet, Ah Lian was so anxious about family matters that he didn't sleep for several days. He also summoned up the courage to come and beg you. After all, we are friends who grew up together. Just let him go, even if it’s for my sake.”
Shen Yanshi stared at her with a hint of judgment: "Who is he doing these things for?"
Gong Nian's face instantly stiffened, and he stuttered: "I, I don't know, I came because he asked me to help intercede. During the banquet, I..."
His eyes turned cold and suddenly lost all warmth: "Gong Nian, just because I didn't trouble you about this matter doesn't mean I don't know about it."
Gong Nian's face turned pale with fright, his eyes were red, but he didn't even have the strength to argue: "I, I didn't..."
"I thought you were a smart person. Xiang Nuan is my fiancée. If you slap her in the face, you just don't take me seriously. In this case, I will never interfere in the Gong family's affairs in the future."
Shen Yanshi's tone was indifferent, but the words he spoke were as sharp as a knife cutting through flesh.
Gong Nian looked at him in shock, his eyes widened, and he was so stiff that he couldn't speak. Is he drawing a clear line with her?
She trembled, tears rolled down quickly, and she choked with sobs: "You don't care about me anymore?"
His eyes were cold, as if looking at a stranger: "You can take care of yourself from now on."
Gong Nian was shivering all over, his heart was so clenched that he couldn't breathe. He froze there and looked at him almost in disbelief.
How could he ignore her?
They grew up together and have been in love for so many years. His mother asked him to take care of her since she was a child. He cares about his mother so much that he never ignores her.
Even if she left him when he was in his most difficult time, even if she married his arch-enemy Wei Chengze, even if she got divorced and became a lost dog, he still helped her regardless of past grudges.
She thought that she was always different to him.
But now, is he leaving her for Xiang Nuan?
She was crying and struggling to stay: "During the banquet, are you really going to leave me? Have you forgotten what my aunt said? She said she asked you to take care of me. Have you really changed?"
