Chapter 705: Qiqi is Truly a Blessing
“Qiqi said that you and Bowen were a couple. I had high hopes that I would soon have a granddaughter-in-law. I didn’t expect that it was my grandson’s wishful thinking.” Old Master Sheng said regretfully. “Why is it so difficult for him to get a wife?”
Ren Yufei looked embarra.s.sed..
Because the chairman in front of her was totally different from the one in her mind.
“Secretary Ren, tell the truth to this old man. If you are really sincere toward Third Brother, I’ll make the decision for you.”
“Chairman, I don’t have the intention to fawn over the influential. Please don’t misunderstand…”
Old Master Sheng sighed. This child was really very cautious.
“Child, I’m telling you the truth…”
“Did you forget you’re famous for making things difficult for others?” Old Man Shen laughed at the side. “It’s no wonder your Third Brother can’t find a wife. Everyone is afraid of a difficult grandfather like you. Who would dare come to his door?”
“Old Shen, don’t make sarcastic remarks. Can you help me persuade her?” Old Man Sheng was helpless. “The move that Qiqi said would work is useless.”
“What’s useless about what she said? You didn’t put in enough effort.” Old Master Shen rolled his eyes before he explained to Ren Yufei, “Xiao Ren, I’ll call you that for now. This old man was very bad in the past, but ever since he was stabbed in the head, he has become normal. So, you don’t have to worry that he will trick you. Tomorrow, he will send you a plane ticket and send you abroad. Just tell me honestly, do you feel anything for the Sheng family’s Third Brother? This old man here really wants you to be his granddaughter-in-law.”
Ren Yufei looked at the two old men for a long time and finally believed in Old Master Sheng’s sincerity.
“I…”
“Don’t worry. This old man isn’t satisfied with simply anyone taking care of Third Brother. There’s only you. Rest a.s.sured.”
“The president is a very good man…”
Before Ren Yufei could finish, the two old men nodded. “Then it’s settled.”
Ren Yufei was speechless with tons of question marks hovering over her head.
Because to the two old men, as long as she didn’t hate Sheng Bowen and didn’t directly reject him, she was interested in Sheng Bowen.
A moment later, Sheng Bowen’s figure appeared in the gra.s.s. This person had hurriedly finished all his official business and was looking for the two of them.
“Why are you so eager to come over?” Old Master Sheng asked despite knowing the answer. “Would I eat Secretary Ren?”
“Grandpa, she’s my secretary. I have a lot of things waiting for her to deal with,” Sheng Bowen quickly found an excuse.
“Don’t give me excuses. Let me tell you, don’t use Xiao Ren to order around. She’s my chosen granddaughter-in-law now.” Old Master Sheng snorted. “Find yourself a male a.s.sistant. Look at Eighth Brother. He never worries Qiqi.”
Sheng Bowen felt like he got struck by lightning when he heard that. “Grandpa, what are you…”
“I can’t wait until you make a move. My old bones are probably going to turn into ashes, so I can’t wait any longer. Xiao Ren is innocent. That’s good. I don’t object to you guys dating. If it’s possible, consider getting married early…”
Sheng Bowen looked embarra.s.sed when he heard that. “Grandpa, Secretary Ren and I…”
“You’re doing the same thing?” Old Master Sheng snorted. “You weren’t in a hurry to disclose the news of your divorce with Hu Ran. Why are you suddenly trying to distance yourself from her? Do you dare swear that it really has nothing to do with Xiao Ren?”
Ahem… Sheng Bowen coughed lightly.
“But everything has to be done step by step.”
“I’m not asking you to do anything. I’m just making it clear that I won’t make things difficult for Xiao Ren when she marries into the Sheng family. I’ll still love her like my own granddaughter. Don’t let me scare her away.” Old Master Sheng pointed at Sheng Bowen with his walking stick. “Do your best for me. I’ve been working for so long, but she still hasn’t accepted you.”
Sheng Bowen was really embarra.s.sed.
“That’s enough. Your Grandpa Shen and I still have to catch up on old times. You two can go. Bring Xiao Ren back for dinner if you have nothing to do.”
Sheng Bowen was in complete shock. He quickly dragged Ren Yufei away to leave.
After getting into the car, Sheng Bowen explained, “Don’t take it to heart.”
Ren Yufei was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly laughed out loud. “Actually, the chairman is quite cute.”
“That’s… No matter what, you… Think about what Grandpa said.”
Ren Yufei looked at Sheng Bowen in astonishment.
“I seem to treat you… more than just my partner.” Sheng Bowen took advantage of the momentum that Old Master Sheng gave him to confess. “Especially when you’re being bullied.”
Which was exactly why when Hu Ran begged him not to announce the divorce, he did not hesitate at all and got Qiqi to play a trick on Hu Ran.
Ren Yufei’s face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as a yes.”
“But Miss Hu seems to still have feelings for you.”
“She was the one who proposed the divorce. No matter what she thinks, to me, that marriage is in the past. “I’m not some doll. She wants a new life, so she proposed a divorce. She’s still hung up on the past, so I have to cooperate? There’s no such thing in this world,” Sheng Bowen answered seriously. “Yufei, let’s give it a try, okay?”
“You’re too sudden.”
“No, it’s just that over time, when no one believed in me, only you gave me trust. You thought that with my personality, I could manage Huang Yao well.”
“During my most difficult times, you also fought for me on the frontlines. I haven’t forgotten all of this.”
Ren Yufei fell silent again, or rather, she couldn’t believe it.
“So, nothing here is sudden for me.”
At this moment, Ren Yufei finally understood what kind of girl Sheng Bowen really needed. He looked calm and appeared to need a raging fire to burn, but in actual fact, he was perceptive. It was just that he was born with a slow reaction. What he really needed was someone who was like drizzle, silently moisturizing the ground, giving it what it needs.
“I can try… but it’s easy for me to shrink back.”
“Easy to shrink back? You even promised Sheng Kai to seduce me.” Sheng Bowen laughed. “Do you want to tell him that you’ve completed the mission?”
Ren Yufei relaxed when she saw that he could still joke.
“Promise me that you won’t do anything excessive in the company.”
“As you wish.”
Sheng Bowen cried out in his heart. The old man had finally done a good deed and acted as a divine a.s.sistant.
Of course, he didn’t know that Mu Qiqi was the one who had given the idea behind the scenes.
He just didn’t know what kind of expression Hu Ran would have if she knew about this. At first, she was unwilling to be with the calmness that was Sheng Bowen. But after she left, she found herself worrying about this man again. Now that Sheng Bowen had Ren Yufei, could she… really let go of the past?
After returning to the company, Sheng Bowen hid in his office and called the old man to tell him the good news.
The old man hung up the phone and looked at Old Man Shen. “This Qiqi is truly a blessing.”
“Hmph, and to think you couldn’t stand her back then?”
