137 So Extreme
It would have been better if he hadn’t said this.
Xia Sitong rushed over as if she had gone crazy, punching and kicking Han Tianyi hysterically.
“You’ll take responsibility? How will you take responsibility? Do you really think you have the ability to do that?”
Han Tianyi stood there shamefully, allowing Xia Sitong to kick him as she pleased.
Compared to Xia Sitong, he could be said to have nothing at all. Even his shelter was given by Xia Sitong. If he really wanted to take responsibility, he couldn’t.
Just as Xia Sitong was about to continue scolding, the sound of the door opening came from outside. The staff had arrived.
Xia Sitong glared at Han Tianyi, “You’re not allowed to tell anyone about what happened last night!”
She turned around and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.
Her a.s.sistant suddenly ran over in a panic. “Sister Sitong, seven or eight major clients of the studio are suddenly canceling their orders! These clients have been working with us since the studio was set up, and they’re considered the largest and most qualified clients. If we cancel the cooperation, the company will suffer a huge loss…”
Xia Sitong’s face changed slightly, “Do you know why they canceled it?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, they’re very determined to cancel it.” The a.s.sistant was on the verge of tears.
Xia Sitong hurried back to her seat and lowered herself as she called everyone. By the time she finished a few calls, her expression was extremely ugly.
Almost every customer’s statement was the same, “The effect of your company’s design plan is actually very average, and the price is high. We’ve been working with you before for the sake of Phoenix Technology. Vice President Guo had spoken to us in private before. Now that Vice President Guo said we don’t need to take care of you anymore, of course we’re going to cancel our cooperation.”
No matter how Xia Sitong explained or begged, the other party insisted on canceling the cooperation. There was no room for negotiation.
Xia Sitong was extremely dejected. After hesitating for a long time, she finally dialed Shen Hanyu’s number.
“Brother Hanyu,”
Thinking of what had happened last night, she felt a little ashamed. “Some big clients suddenly canceled their cooperation. Brother Hanyu, can you ask Mr. Guo to contact them again? The studio…”
“I can’t,”
What answered her was an extremely cold and indifferent voice. “I used to take care of you because I treated you like a sister. However, that’s obviously unnecessary now.”
Xia Sitong bit her lip. “Brother Hanyu, I…”
Shen Hanyu didn’t want to hear what she had to say and interrupted her. “Take away your things from the Shen family’s house as soon as possible today. In the future, you don’t need to return there.”
The call was cut off, and the emotionless ‘Toot’ sound pierced Xia Sitong’s eardrums.
She had always known that her studio could rise so quickly because Shen Hanyu had given her a lot of support behind the scenes.
However, she didn’t expect Shen Hanyu to be so cruel. Not only did he cut off all her clients, but he also kicked her out of the Shen family.
Shen Shaofeng was probably the only person who could help her now. Xia Sitong didn’t dare to delay and immediately rushed back to the Shen family’s house.
Shen Shaofeng clearly knew what had happened, and his eyes were filled with heartache. “Sitong, you… You! What can I say about you?”
“Uncle Shen, I know I’m wrong. I don’t know why I did that.”
Xia Sitong started to cry out loud, “Seeing Sang Qianqian and Brother Hanyu being so intimate made me so sad. In a moment of confusion, I… I’m sorry, Uncle Shen…”
“You should be apologizing to Hanyu and Qianqian.”
Shen Shaofeng looked at her in exasperation. “Sitong, ever since your father pa.s.sed away, I’ve really treated you as my daughter, but you’ve disappointed me time and time again. You’ve grown up to have such gross thoughts. You’re not fit to stay with the Shen family anymore.”
Shen Shaofeng handed her a deposit certificate. “When I first set up Phoenix Technology, I asked Hanyu to leave some shares for you. These shares have been liquidated. The money inside is enough for you to live a comfortable life. It’s not in vain that your father and I were friends.”
He heaved a long sigh. “I’ve asked someone to pack up your things for you. You can take a look later. Make sure you don’t leave anything behind.”
After saying this, he didn’t seem to want to say anything more and left.
In the huge living room, Xia Sitong held the red pa.s.sbook in her hands. For the first time, she cried with all her heart. This wasn’t the result she wanted.
She had thought that last night’s plan was foolproof.
With Shen Hanyu’s personality, once he had bedded her, he would definitely take responsibility and would have nothing to do with Sang Qianqian again.
However, she didn’t expect him to be able to hold back. She had clearly increased the dosage by several times, but he had still endured it.
Now, she had gone for wool and came home shorn. She didn’t do anything to Shen Hanyu, but she had to move out of the Shen family.
Moving out of the Shen family would mean that she and Shen Hanyu would no longer be considered siblings. In the future, he would treat her as a stranger…
Xia Sitong wanted to go and beg Shen Shaofeng again, but the servant told her that Shen Shaofeng had gone to the park and wasn’t home.
He was clearly avoiding her on purpose.
Xia Sitong gritted her teeth and ordered the luggage to be moved into the car.
Ding Aojia called her in a panic. “What should I do, Sitong? Chang San were taken away! Didn’t you say that Shen Hanyu was investigating the truth about the fire? Did Shen Hanyu order his men to take him away?”
Xia Sitong’s face changed.
Under Ding Aojia’s orders, Chang San was the one who hired the culprit who entered Sang Qianqian’s residence in the middle of the night and set it on fire.
Chang San knew all of Ding Aojia’s secrets. If Shen Hanyu’s men had taken him away, that meant that Shen Hanyu would soon be able to trace it to Ding Aojia, or even Xia Sitong.
—
In an empty warehouse, Chang San was lying on the ground, covered in wounds. His two hands were broken, but at least he was still alive.
Five years ago, Chang San had been kind to Sang Qianqian because he didn’t want to offend the Sang family. Five years later, even though Ding Aojia thought that Sang Qianqian was in dire straits, Chang San still did not really want to kill her.
In order to avoid suspicion, he had found Long Junzhe’s bodyguard. Through Long junzhe’s bodyguard, he had found a p.a.w.n for the arson.
Chang San had convinced Ding Aojia to commit arson instead of murder, in an attempt to give Sang Qianqian some time to escape.
However, he did not expect that Sang Qianqian would fall sick that night and fall into a deep sleep after taking some cold medicine.
Of course, Chang San also never expected that Shen Hanyu, who lived right across the street from Sang Qianqian, would risk his life to save her.
When Guo Muyang arranged for someone to invite Chang San over, he thought it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn’t expect Chang San to quickly tell him the whole story.
He was the one who arranged the arson, but Chang San did not deserve to die.
In Phoenix Technology’s President’s office, Guo Muyang’s tone was a little dignified.
“A few days before the fire, Xia Sitong and Ding Aojia called Chang San a few times. On the night of the fire, Xia Sitong had also contacted Ding Aojia. Chang San said that Xia Sitong was the one who had given Miss Sang’s address to Ding Aojia.”
Guo Muyang paused, his expression a little complicated. “Hanyu, do you want to continue investigating?”
