Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife-Chapter 117

In the Shang family’s villa, the atmosphere was awkward and stagnant.

Shang Yan furrowed his brows. He knew Shang Liqing’s intentions and always kept his distance from Wen Wan.

Wen Wan recalled Shang Liqing’s instigation and mustered her courage to walk to Shang Yan’s side. She bit her tender lips and closed her eyes as if struggling and hesitating. She confessed softly, “I like you! From a very long time ago, Brother Shang Yan, I have liked to be by your side and fantasized about marrying you.”

“I know that you and Qu Xiao are married because of the family’s agreement and your career needs.”

“You have no feelings for her, and Qu Xiao is not worthy of you. Brother Shang Yan, as long as you are willing to divorce, I will definitely be able to convince my family to agree to us being together. The Wen family’s resources will all go to the Shang family when that time comes. The collaboration between the two families will definitely bring more glory than now.”

Wen Wan was smart. She knew that by saying these words, she would be able to win Grandfather Shang’s support.

After all, a marriage in the financial circle was not purely based on a relationship. Without material things, it would not be able to go on for long.

Shang Liqing secretly winked at Wen Wan. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she agreed. “Compared to the Qu family, the Wen family’s…”

“Shut up!”

Shang Yan looked enraged as he reprimanded her. Shang Liqing hurriedly shut up. She lowered her gaze and stared at the floor, not daring to speak rashly again. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Wen Wan’s body trembled in fear. Like a frightened white rabbit, her eyes were so red that they could capture people’s empathy.

Shang Yan cleared his throat and stared indifferently at the girl in front of him. He tried his best to use a gentle tone to reject her, “You and Liqing are friends. I have cared for you like my younger sister. I definitely have no other thoughts. The expansion of the Shang Group in the country has been going smoothly, and there are no difficulties with the capital either. If the Wen family is willing to join hands with us to seize the market, I am delighted to have a powerful ally.”

“But if the premise of the alliance between the two families is to establish a marriage relationship, I think the Shang Group doesn’t need it.”

Wen Wan’s pupils instantly constricted. She had put down her ego to come to the Shang family to confess publicly, but all she had received was such humiliation!

Her pale face instantly turned red. Wen Wan bit her lips tightly and glared at Shang Liqing resentfully, hating her for putting her in such a situation.

Shang Yan was silent for a long time. It was as if he was saying to Wen Wan, but at the same time, it was also as if he was announcing to the members of the Shang family. “I love Qu Xiao.”

“Love increases with time. Right now, I can be sure that I will only cherish and love her for the rest of my life. Regardless of whether the Qu family is on the verge of restructuring and bankruptcy, I am willing to continue walking hand in hand with her. I don’t wish that anyone, including my family, blame and complain about her.”

Shang Yan’s gaze fell on Shang Liqing as he said in an aggravated tone, “I don’t want what happened today to happen again.”

Shang Liqing lost all her face in front of Wen Wan. She did not know where she got the courage, but she confronted Shang Yan with her hands on her hips.

“Second Brother, ask your conscience. How many wrong things did Qu Xiao do to you? Can you blame us for being biased against her?”

“She has a complicated relationship with Ling Chi. She cheated on you outside, stole business projects from the Shang family for the Qu family, and even used your name to attract investments and connections for the Qu family. Do you think you can choose to forget those?”

Shang Liqing recalled the stupid things Qu Xiao had done and was so angry that her eyes turned red.

“She doesn’t respect you at all. Do you think I want to destroy your marriage? I don’t want you to feel aggrieved!” 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“So the whole family has forgotten about the past. Only I’m playing the villain, right?”

Shang Liqing screamed in grievance. Grandfather Shang and Shang Xinchen kept silent in embarrassment.

Qu Xiao’s change was too big. She had simply become a completely different person.

Shang Xinchen also thought that she was pretending at first. As they got closer, he realized that Qu Xiao was really different from the past. Her various actions could not be done by pretending to care, “Liqing, everyone makes mistakes. It’s fine as long as they can change.”

“You also said that you hope that Second Brother can be happy, right?”

Shang Xinchen grabbed Shang Liqing’s shoulder in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.

Shang Liqing suddenly turned her head and gritted her teeth as she glared at him. “You! A fence-sitter. What benefits did Qu Xiao promise you to help her?”

Grandfather Shang just listened to the young ones argue and did not speak.

He had seen Shang Yan’s hand gently resting on his knees, and his eyes filled with gentleness when he mentioned Qu Xiao. He sighed in compromise.

“Enough!”

Shang Liqing and Shang Xinchen shut their mouths simultaneously and looked at Grandfather Shang obediently.

Grandpa Shang looked at Wen Wan lovingly, “Wen family’s little girl, I have watched you grow up. Grandfather naturally knows that you’re a good child. No one will talk about what happened today. Just treat it as if it never happened. In the future, if Grandfather sees a decent boy, I will personally come and introduce him to you.”

“As for Shang Yan, there will be no happiness if things are attained forcibly in a relationship.”

Grandfather Shang’s words drew an end to this farce.

Wen Wan was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to turn around and leave angrily. Shang Liqing hurriedly grabbed her elbow and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

She also did not expect things to develop to such an extent.

There was a sound coming from the villa’s entrance. Qu Xiao changed into a pair of slippers and came to the living room. Seeing the subtle atmosphere in the crowd, she stared at Wen Wan and sized her up.
