The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside
Chapter 1161 Flustered
The car drove smoothly out, passing through busy roads, and arrived at the villa area, the same villa mentioned in the betrothal gifts.
Shen Xuening looked at the scenery outside the window, which was becoming increasingly unfamiliar. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What is this?"
Qin Zizhou smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"
Shen Xuening's bright, star-like eyes flickered slightly as she realized, "I know where this is?"
Qin Zizhou asked, "Where?"
Shen Xuening spoke up: "A villa as a betrothal gift."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Zizhou's eyes: "How did you guess? How did you guess so accurately?"
Now it was Shen Xuening's turn to be mysterious. She smiled slyly and asked, "Guess?"
Qin Zizhou chuckled: "I can't guess, just tell me."
Shen Xuening said, "I saw the name of the villa. When your family came to my house to deliver the betrothal gifts, I opened it and took a look when I went to the study to put the gifts away."
Qin Zizhou nodded: "Yes, you have a good memory. You remembered it after just one look. This is the betrothal villa. It's already decorated in an Italian light luxury style. The furniture is all custom-made. It was decorated half a year ago, and we can move in now."
Shen Xuening said, "We'll live here after we get married."
Qin Zizhou readily agreed: "Okay."
The car was parked in the outdoor parking area, and the two got out and walked together toward the villa's gate.
Qin Zizhou opened the door and raised his arm in an invitation: "Besides our own people, the decorators, and the cleaners, no one else has ever been to this villa. Today, as the owner, you are officially transferring ownership."
Shen Xuening slightly curved her lips into a beautiful smile: "You're a master too, male master."
Qin Zizhou was very happy to hear this: "Madam, please come in."
The two walked into the villa together.
Needless to say, the scene inside the villa was elegant, stylish, and high-class. Most importantly, it was beautiful, grand, and visually stunning. The villa was filled with gold, red, pink, and purple roses, and the air was filled with their fragrance, making you feel as if you were in a sea of flowers.
Shen Xuening's dark eyes were filled with amazement: "When did you set this up?"
Qin Zizhou said, "This morning, before dawn."
"You're so thoughtful." Shen Xuening turned around and hugged Qin Zizhou. "Zizhou, thank you for taking care of me and loving me as always. I will remember it."
Qin Zizhou rested his chin on Shen Xuening's shoulder and whispered, "I just want you to be happy."
The two hugged for a while before separating.
Qin Zizhou took Shen Xuening's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you for a look around the villa. It's very big. Do you think we should hire a housekeeper to do things like cleaning?"
Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "No need for now. We'll move in and then have the cleaning staff come and clean up."
Qin Zizhou was satisfied with the answer: "Alright, let's not have a third person disturb our time together."
“I think so too,” Shen Xuening added. “When I get back, I’ll consolidate Xifulai’s business and not expand it for the time being. I’ll stabilize it first and then focus on making skincare products in City A. That way, we’ll have more time together.”
Qin Zizhou was overjoyed: "Really?"
Shen Xuening answered affirmatively, "Really, I had already thought it through before I got engaged."
Qin Zizhou quickly hugged Shen Xuening, only an embrace could calm his excited heart: "Xuening, you are so good. We have been apart for most of the past few years, we really should spend more time together."
Shen Xuening gently patted Qin Zizhou's back: "By the way, Zizhou, I want to wait until Shen's business is stable before having children, which is about two years. Do you think that's okay?"
Qin Zizhou immediately agreed: "I'll do whatever you say."
Shen Xuening breathed a sigh of relief: "Mm."
……
Grandma Shen asked with concern, "Where did Xue Ning and Zi Zhou go?"
Grandpa Shen immediately said, "It's the young people's business, you old man shouldn't get involved."
Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at Grandpa Shen: "I'm just concerned, aren't I?"
Grandpa Shen said, "They've worked so hard these past few days. Now that they're done, they've probably gone off to enjoy their own lives. Don't worry about it."
Grandma Shen thought about it and said, "Yes, I was overthinking it."
Liu Juan said, "Mom, we're planning to go back early the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go out and buy some gifts to take back tomorrow?"
Grandma Shen looked at Grandpa Shen: "What do you think?"
Grandpa Shen said, "If you want to buy it, then buy it. I won't interfere. Besides, what's the point of me interfering? Just do whatever you want."
Grandma Shen waved her hand: "It's pointless to ask you."
Grandpa Shen stopped talking. He just had to obey; he wouldn't dare to voice his opinion for fear of getting scolded.
Grandma Shen asked Liu Juan, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Liu Juan answered truthfully, "Yes, I want to buy some things for my father and my brother and sister-in-law."
Grandma Shen said, "Then you think about what to buy. We'll have the younger ones take us out to buy more, since it's a rare trip to Beijing."
Shen Dong said, "Would you like to go out for another stroll?"
Grandma Shen thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "We've been to all the places we wanted to visit. The other attractions are too far away. We're old and don't really want to go anymore. You young people can go."
Shen Dong casually replied, "If you want to go, then let's go together."
Grandma Shen shook her head firmly: "We're not going. We'll just rest at the hotel. By the way, the Qin family is inviting us to lunch. If you can't have lunch with us, be sure to tell Xue Ning so we can arrange seating for you."
Shen Dong asked, "Where are we eating?"
Grandma Shen said, "It seems to be the Qin family's manor."
Shen Dong immediately became interested: "A manor? If we go to the manor for dinner, what's the point of going to see the scenery? Let's not go."
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "I heard that the manor is where the super-rich live. It would be nice to go and see it."
Shen Dong's eyes lit up: "We have to go and see for ourselves."
Liu Juan was a little embarrassed: "The manor must be very prosperous. We are just a country folk. Would it be inappropriate for us to visit their home?"
Grandma Shen said somewhat hesitantly, "We're family now, so there's nothing to worry about, right?"
Liu Juan thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Ningning and ask her how she is."
Grandma Shen nodded: "Okay."
Liu Juan immediately dialed Shen Xuening's number: "Ningning, are you busy? Mom has something to tell you."
Shen Xuening asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Liu Juan said with concern, "The Qin family invited us to dinner at their manor tomorrow. We feel like we're too poor. Will it make you lose face?"
Shen Xuening said, "Don't worry about it. Just dress neatly and cleanly. The Qin family knows we are farmers, so just be presentable and appropriate."
Encouraged, Liu Juan said, "Okay, Mom understands." She then asked, "Ningning, should we buy a gift? What gift should we buy?"
Shen Xuening said, "I'll prepare the gifts, you don't need to worry about it. A car will pick you up tomorrow, just follow the car."
Liu Juan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom knows."
……
Shen Xuening had just hung up the phone when she received another call from Shen Junyu.
Shen Junyu said dejectedly on the phone, "Xue Ning, I'm sorry about today."
Shen Xuening was somewhat confused: "Why are you saying sorry?"
Shen Junyu said helplessly, "We came to the hotel to attend your engagement party, but they wouldn't let us in. Junqi and I sat at the hotel entrance for a long time before we left."
Shen Xuening: “…”
After a moment of silence, Shen Xuening spoke again: "Why didn't you call me?"
Shen Junyu said apologetically, "Today is your big day, and we didn't want to upset you. Now that the day is almost over, I'm only calling to tell you now. I'm sorry."
Shen Xuening was a little unsure of what to say: "You should have told me. It's not a big deal to have a meal together."
Shen Junyu's voice carried a slight smile: "It's okay, it's all in the past. But Junqi and I wish you all the best. You must have had a very happy day, right?"
Shen Xuening said, "I'm very happy, it's perfect."
Shen Junyu felt regretful for missing the ceremony, but he was still happy for Shen Xuening: "That's good."
Shen Xuening said, "Thank you for remembering these things."
Shen Junyu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I won't bother you any longer. Get some rest. Good night."
Shen Xue Ning said: "Okay."
The phone hangs up.
Qin Zizhou asked curiously, "From the sound of your voice, it sounds like Shen Junyu called you? Why would he call you?"
Shen Xuening explained the reason and then said, "It was probably quite awkward, so they didn't tell me."
Qin Zizhou asked, "Do you want to repair your relationship with them?"
Shen Xuening shook her head: "Let's just keep the relationship as it is now, superior and subordinate. There's no need to try to maintain anything, so as to avoid awkwardness. Otherwise, I'll have to send them to work elsewhere."
Qin Zizhou said, "Take care of these things and don't let them affect you."
"Okay." Shen Xuening nodded. "By the way, I'm going to the company for a meeting tomorrow to check on the progress of the skincare products. We need to get the set made as soon as possible."
Qin Zizhou told Shen Xuening about tomorrow's schedule: "I'm going to a meeting at Qin's tomorrow. My second uncle has been busy at the company these past few days, and I'm going to take over the work. Then I'll go back to the old house for lunch, and I'll pick you up from the company then."
Shen Xuening said, "No wonder my mother asked me about my trip to the manor."
Qin Zizhou explained, "Mom originally wanted to tell you herself, but I said I would tell you, so she only told your family."
Shen Xuening said, "I understand."
Qin Zizhou thought for a moment and asked, "You said you would introduce girlfriends to Wei Shuyu and Zhuo Jinghao. What were their responses? Just to clarify, I'm not in a hurry. They asked me about it today, and I told them I was asking you."
Shen Xuening truthfully replied, "They need to go back and talk to their families. They'll get back to me once their families agree."
Qin Zizhou immediately understood: "I understand."
Shen Xuening smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll let them know as soon as I have any news."
……
The next morning, Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou got up early. Qin Zizhou made breakfast, and after they ate, they went to their respective companies.
When Wen Xinchuan saw Shen Xuening, he couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "You got engaged yesterday and you're already back to work today? Chairman Shen is working too hard."
Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "Getting engaged doesn't mean things are over. Now that we have time, we should take care of company matters."
Wen Xinchuan laughed and said, "Then should I send someone to announce the meeting?"
As Shen Xuening walked toward the chairman's office, she said, "Give me fifteen minutes to prepare."
"Chairman Shen is so considerate." Wen Xinchuan smiled and turned to get back to his work.
Shen Junyu is Shen Xuening's assistant. He was quite surprised to see Shen Xuening come to work: "Chairwoman Shen, aren't you taking a day off today?"
"I didn't rest. I took a nap and I'm feeling much better today." Shen Xuening sat down in her office chair and began organizing the documents. "Go and make the arrangements. I have a management meeting coming up soon."
"Understood," Shen Junyu replied, then turned and went out to get busy.
Shen Xuening pulled up the relevant information from the past few days, quickly browsed through it, and began preparing.
Ten minutes later, Shen Xuening, Wen Xinchuan, and a group of company executives sat down in the conference room, but one seat was empty.
Shen Xuening's gaze fell on the empty seats: "Who didn't come?"
Shen Junyu quickly replied, "Qin Bin."
Upon hearing the name, Shen Xuening immediately recognized him as the older brother of her father's mistress. She hadn't expected him to be so arrogant, arriving late for work and now being half an hour late.
Does he often eat like this?
Shen Junyu replied, "Yes, I'm late at least ten days every month."
Shen Xuening nodded: "When he arrives, have him come to my office so I can talk to him."
Shen Junyu replied, "Okay."
Shen Xuening looked around: "Let's begin the meeting..."
The meeting room fell silent, with only Shen Xuening's clear voice. As she spoke, everyone listened intently, afraid of missing anything and not knowing anything when it was their turn to speak.
Half an hour into the meeting, Qin Bin arrived. Upon seeing Shen Xuening at the company, Qin Bin immediately panicked.
But Shen Xuening only glanced at him and then told him to sit down without saying anything.
Seeing this, Qin Bin felt somewhat relieved.
The meeting lasted for three hours. Shen Xuening talked about the various problems the company had accumulated recently, and then talked about the goals for future development. Before she knew it, the time had passed.
After the meeting, Shen Xuening returned to the chairman's office.
Shen Junyu walked towards Qin Bin: "Manager Qin, the chairman wants you to go to her office. She has something to say to you."
Qin Bin felt an overwhelming sense of panic: "Did Chairman Shen reveal what he wanted to tell me?"
Shen Junyu naturally couldn't tell him why; he secretly hoped Shen Xuening would fire Qin Bin: "You'll find out when you get there. I don't know."
Qin Bin walked nervously toward the chairman's office.
Shen Xuening heard a knock on the door: "Come in."
Qin Bin pushed open the door and walked in, respectfully greeting, "Chairman Shen."
