In the private room, Guo Muyang stood up and glanced at Tang Bochuan and Zhen Zhu, who were standing outside the door. He nodded at Shen Hanyu and left first.
Guo Muyang had no intention of getting involved in the Zhen family’s affairs, and it would be inconvenient for him to be present, so it was better for him to leave.
He picked up the resignation letter on the table and passed it to Tang Bochuan as he walked past him.
“Since she’s still here, it’s better for Mr. Tang to take this letter back.”
Guo Muyang laughed. “Hanyu can’t accept it now.”
He looked at Zhen Zhu’s face, who was staring at him with a cold, proud, and sharp gaze.
This girl was really… A person not to be trifled with.
Guo Muyang patted Tang Bochuan’s shoulder. “Good luck.”
Tang Bochuan misunderstood his words and thought that he was hoping that Zhen Zhu and Shen Hanyu could come to an agreement so that he would be free from his hard work.
“Thank you, President Guo,” he replied in a low voice.
After Guo Muyang left, Tang Bochuan was about to put away the letter when Zhen Zhu quickly snatched it over. “I’d like to see what you’ve written,”
She thought that the letter was related to her, and it would be filled with Tang Bochuan’s complaints about her. However, when she opened it, Zhen Zhu was stunned. “A resignation letter?”
She felt a little complicated and angry. “You don’t have to go that far, do you? Is this the level of trust you have in me? You’re so confident I’ll run?”
Tang Bochuan remained silent.
Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes glanced at the two of them, and his well-defined fingers tapped on the table. “I’m short on time. Let’s talk about business first.”
Zhen Zhu threw the resignation letter back at Tang Bochuan. “I’ll settle this with you later!”
The letter fell to the ground. Tang Bochuan bent down to pick it up, bowed to Shen Hanyu, and left the room.
She walked over to Shen Hanyu, pulled out a chair, and sat down. She took a glass of red wine from the table beside her and poured herself a glass.
“This wine is not bad.”
She took two sips and looked at Shen Hanyu. “Shen Hanyu, are you surprised that I changed my mind?” she asked.
“Not really,” Shen Hanyu replied. “You were bound to change it sooner or later.”
“Ha, you’re pretty confident in yourself.”
Zhen Zhu raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you have any worries?”
“Why should I feel uneasy?” Shen Hanyu asked indifferently.
“Not only did you lock me up and restrict my freedom, but you even sent me to that villa.”
Zhen Zhu sneered, “See that? Tang Bochuan can’t stand your tricks. He couldn’t bear to see you bully a woman like me and wanted to resign. I’m still your cousin, don’t you feel any guilt when you dream about me at night?”
“Guilt?”
Shen Hanyu glanced at her and said with a calm expression, “You’re not worthy.”

Zhen Zhu was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.
This person was an emotionless, cold-blooded animal. It was a mistake to play the emotional card with him.
She knew that she wouldn’t get any advantage from Shen Hanyu, so she didn’t want to waste any more time. “Shen Hanyu, before we talk, I want to ask you a question.”
“Ask,” Shen Hanyu replied indifferently.
“Can you tell me the truth?”
She went straight to the point. “Why do you want me to go back to the Zhen family?”
Shen Hanyu took a sip of tea. “Because the Zhen family needs you.”
Zhen Zhu was not satisfied with this answer. “Zhen Yiping would be more satisfied if you were there. Why do you have to make me go back?”
Even if she went back, she would not be able to do better than Shen Hanyu.
“I can’t stay in the capital for too long,” Shen Hanyu said slowly.
“If you stay, Zhen Yiping might hand the Zhen family over to you.”
She stared at Shen Hanyu and said, “That’s the Zhen family. Shen Hanyu, I don’t believe that you haven’t been moved by their wealth and reputation before.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her expressionlessly. “It’s just the Zhen family. It’s not worth my time.”
She was suspicious. “Then what can move you?”
If the Zhen family wasn’t worth his time, what was?
Shen Hanyu’s phone rang before he could reply.
However, when he saw the name of the caller, his cold and indifferent eyes instantly softened.
The person on the other end of the line was probably asking when he was coming home. He replied in a low voice, “There’s still a while, you sleep first.”
The person on the other end of the line said something else. Shen Hanyu replied with a low “Hmm.” His previously cold eyes were now so gentle that water could drip out of them.
However, after hanging up the phone, Shen Hanyu looked up again, and his expression returned to the cold and indifferent look that kept people away.
If Zhen Zhu hadn’t seen the gentleness in him just now, she would have thought that he was just a cold man who had no feelings at all!
“No wonder Cousin said you were short on time. So someone is waiting for you.”
“Is it Cousin-in-law?” Zhen Zhu asked tentatively.
Shen Hanyu’s attitude toward her softened a little when he heard her call Sang Qianqian ‘Cousin-in-law.’
He nodded. “Your cousin-in-law doesn’t want to stay in the capital for long.”
Sang Qianqian had said before that she still wanted to return and live in Ming City.
She had lived in Ming City for 18 years and kept too many memories there.
She said that she wanted to bring her father to Ming City in the future so that it would be easier to take care of the elderly on both sides.
As for her family’s business, she could also persuade her brother to slowly move back there.
Moreover, work would be even simpler. She could apply to be transferred to the hospital’s branch in Ming City and work with Director Xue again.
Shen Hanyu didn’t answer Zhen Zhu’s question directly. What would move him?
However, Zhen Zhu seemed to have understood the reason why her cousin insisted on her returning to the Zhen family.
“I can go back,”
Zhen Zhu stopped hesitating and went straight to the point, “However, you have to do one thing for me.”
Shen Hanyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhen Zhu. “You can tell me, but it’s up to me whether I do it or not.”
“It’s not difficult for you. I won’t ask you to do anything that will harm the heavens or trespass your morals.”
“I just want you to help me investigate something,” Zhen Zhu said frankly.
She had not been idle these days, so she had more or less learned about Shen Hanyu’s past.
There was a lot of news about Shen Hanyu on the internet. She read one which said that he had cooperated with the police to destroy the Ruan family in the capital. There were all kinds of gossip about his legends.
Of course, the information Zhen Zhu had gotten from Tang Bochuan was more believable.
The reason why she didn’t negotiate with Shen Hanyu the first time was that she didn’t fully trust him at that time.
However, after living in the villa for several days, she finally wavered.
Shen Hanyu had the ability to bring her to a place that she had not been able to enter for more than ten years. The hope she had completely given up on a long time ago was reignited.
He wanted her to return to the Zhen family at all costs so that he could get out of this mess, and she happened to have a request as well.
If she agreed to his request, he would definitely spare no effort to help her.
She decided to take a gamble and use his ability to help fulfill her wish.
If she won the bet, the knot in her heart for more than ten years could finally be untied. If she lost the bet, she would not suffer from any losses. After all, she had nothing to lose..
