Chapter 825: Bankrupted
"Sister, it’s fine if you don’t want to admit it." Shen Sisi bit her lips and said in a pitiful voice, "Mr. Ji is right here. It’s useless for you to scold me when you owe Mr. Ji an explanation."
"Filthy people think that everything they see is filthy." Since Ji Yan appeared, his eyes had been fixed on Shen Hanxing. It was only now that he gave a bit of his attention away. His black eyes were cold as he looked at Shen Sisi and asked, ’Miss Shen Sisi’s thoughts are so filthy. Is it because you do this often?"
Shen Sisi face turned pale as she suspected Ji Yan knew what she had done. No, it was impossible for him to know about her private life. Ji Yan was an aloof and noble person who didn’t care about anything. Why would he pay attention to her love life? However, Shen Sisi was indeed two-timing, so she inevitably felt guilty. When her eyes met his dark pupils, she felt her hands and feet turn cold.
Shen Hanxing chuckled and turned to Ji Yan. "Why is Mr. Ji here?" She did not look nervous at all and communicated with Ji Yan as normal. "Aren’t you busy at work today?"
"At Mr. Lu’s invitation, I’m here to take over some of Lu Corporation’s assets." Ji Yan’s demeanor softened like a tamed lion when he turned his eyes on Shen Hanxing. He looked at her attentively and explained, "Mr. Lu has gone into the house. I saw the chauffeur waiting for you at the gate, so I came here to look for you."
Take over Lu Corporation’s assets? When she thought about the project that had just started, Shen Hanxing understood. This project must be very lucrative, or Lu Guo wouldn’t have gone all in. It was just that the investment was also substantial. With Lu Guo as the precedent, those who were not capable would not dare to take such a risk, and those who were capable would not touch such a problematic project. Moreover, most businesspeople were superstitious. A project that brought down an entire company surely wasn’t auspicious. Ji Corporation was rich and powerful, and Ji Yan never believed in such things so he was indeed the best candidate to take it over.
Lu Guo and Mrs. Lu were not innocent people. There were quality problems with their project and they evaded taxes. The higher-ups had yet to liquidate everything the Lu family owned.
