Chapter 585 - 566: Have Any Objections? Talk to My Lawyer.
At noon, Shen Ruozhuo dragged her weary body back to the Shen Family.
She woke up from the cold and ruthless reality created by Xi Siwei, realizing she couldn’t immerse herself in his illusions any longer. She needed to plan for herself.
However, starting from eleven o’clock, she kept receiving calls from the gallery, informing her that those young painters who previously collaborated with her would steadfastly cease any future interactions with her. She didn’t mind those young painters, as none of them had real talent or ability, yet they were overambitious. She had only pitied them, which was why she displayed their paintings in her gallery. So be it if they didn’t cooperate.
But soon after, the staff from the calligraphy association rang, informing her that her eligibility to run for the position of secretary-general of the association had been revoked! This meant she couldn’t enter the circle that every calligrapher dreamed of joining!
Then, the gallery staff informed her that all her paintings stored in the gallery were consumed by a fire!
Her efforts of over a decade were destroyed in an instant!
She knew, all of this was done by Qin Mobai!
"Miss, you’re back?" The servant said to Shen Ruozhuo, trembling.
Shen Ruozhuo was in no mood to pay attention to the servant, not even lifting her eyelids.
The servant curled his lips. Shen Ruozhuo displayed one attitude in front of the master and mistress and another towards the servants, though they were accustomed to it.
Initially, the servant wanted to remind Shen Ruozhuo that an important person had come to the living room, but seeing Shen Ruozhuo’s indifferent demeanor, she chose to say nothing.
Shen Ruozhuo intended to go upstairs directly to her room but had to pass through the living room on her way.
As she stepped into the living room, she felt a figure approaching, and before she could raise her head, a resounding slap landed!
"Pa—"
The entire living room echoed with the sound of this slap.
Shen Ruozhuo felt a ringing in her left ear, akin to intermittent insomnia, and she was completely knocked to the ground!
"Didn’t I warn you earlier to stop your sly games! You refused to listen, and now Lou Xi had a miscarriage; can you bear this responsibility?"
Lou Xi, Lou Xi, always Lou Xi!
Why did everyone have to bring up Lou Xi with her?
Shen Ruozhuo abruptly looked up, only to see two other people in the living room.
Ji Mushen and Shen Youran.
No wonder Shen Yucheng was so emotionally agitated.
Lou Xi, your backers are becoming increasingly formidable!
"It’s not my fault... I truly don’t know why Lou Xi... why she had a miscarriage..." Shen Ruozhuo clutched her cheek that was numb from pain, tears in her eyes, "I warned her not to overwork, yet she... she insisted on acting like a workaholic..."
"Hmph!" Shen Youran sneered, "Are you implying that Xixi’s miscarriage was due to her own overexertion?"
Though the doctor had said the same, Shen Youran refused to believe it.
"I truly don’t know..."
"Sister, Ruozhuo is an obedient and sensible child. Perhaps she used to have some conflicts with Lou Xi, but after knowing she was your daughter, she treated her like a sister..." Lin Qingqian spoke up for Shen Ruozhuo.
"Sisters? Our Xixi wouldn’t dare take on that title!" Shen Youran said indifferently, "I returned this time, initially not planning to take the inheritance left by grandpa, but now I must leave something for my daughter! So, Yucheng, you have to return the portion grandpa left for me!"
Shen Yucheng’s face changed instantly; if he returned Shen Youran’s portion, nearly half of his current assets would have to go to her!
"Sis..."
"Any objections, talk to my lawyer." Shen Youran’s lawyer was Ji Mushen’s lawyer, no, it was a legal team.
This time, the Shen Family was sure to bleed heavily!
