Chapter 252: You Don’t Like Shen Wan Too?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Ru had just crossed the small garden when she encountered Shen Qian driving out of the garage.

“Big Bro.”

He sat in the driver’s seat with the car window halfway down, revealing his handsome and gentle profile. “Good morning.”

Shen Ru’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and she suddenly gave him a teasing smile. “I sent in my car for maintenance. Big Bro, you wouldn’t mind giving me a ride, would you?”

“Get in.”

Shen Ru bent down and settled into the passenger seat, effortlessly fastening her seatbelt as the car smoothly exited the old mansion.

“Big bro, you’re as prompt as ever,” she commented out of the blue during the ride.

He kept his gaze on the road ahead, and his expression remained unchanged. “If you’re in a hurry, I can speed up.”

Shen Ru chuckled while covering her lips. “I wasn’t talking about your driving skills.”

“Oh? Then I must not understand.”

She inwardly cursed him as a “sly old fox,” but her expression revealed nothing. She continued with a hint of mystery, “Speaking of the Mingya bankruptcy, I can claim some credit for that too. If you act ignorant and play word games with me, it won’t be fun.”

“Credit?” He raised an eyebrow.

“The news about the Hongya Village project being a government pilot project that would affect the future tenders for several large industrial parks was something I had someone leak to Tan Yao. Do you think that makes me a significant contributor? Without this bargaining chip, Dad would never have easily agreed to let Mingya go bankrupt.”

Shen Qian’s gaze darkened. “So, it was you.”

“What? Surprised? I happened to have dinner with a few friends from the Planning Bureau who mentioned it. I took note, and it turned out to be quite useful at a crucial moment.”

He fell silent for a moment.

Shen Ru couldn’t quite read his thoughts, and her eyes darted around. “I just didn’t expect, big bro, that you would be so… decisive.”

“Is that so?” He chuckled softly, and the two words he replied with carried a hint of an enigmatic meaning.

“Of course. Calling for bankruptcy without hesitation. I thought we’d have to wait for ten days or half a month to get any news. It seems you’re even more impatient than I am.”

As she tested the waters, he remained unresponsive.

Shen Ru frowned and then chuckled softly. “But it makes sense. Acting early to prevent further troubles. Ah Yan used to complain that you favored Wan Wan excessively, and I never believed it. But now, it seems Ah Yan was overthinking it. How could big bro have any lingering affection for a bastard child?”

Throughout her conversation, Shen Ru had been observing her brother’s reactions from the corner of her eye.

Unfortunately, Shen Qian concealed his emotions too well, revealing no clues.

Apart from that, he remained silent, thwarting her attempt to discern his thoughts from his words.

“Bro, you don’t like Shen Wan either, do you?” With this statement, she had laid her cards on the table, making her own attitude clear.

Normally, Shen Ru kept her feelings well-hidden, but now she was openly expressing her likes and dislikes, and all this was happening in front of her greatest rival, her own brother.

It could be said that she was sincere in her words.

Or it could be said that she was casting a stone to get jade, wanting to test Shen Qian’s reaction, seeking resonance or rebuttal, always trying to see his true attitude towards Shen Wan.

“Oh.” His response was just this one word.

Neither approving nor disapproving, his emotions inscrutable.

This left Shen Ru in a state of ambivalence.

“Oh?”

Did he mean to affirm that he also disliked Shen Wan, or was he simply indicating that he knew about this issue?

“You…”

“We’ve arrived.” Shen Qian interrupted her, his gaze shifting to the window.

Shen Ru followed his line of sight, and there stood Mingda Tower right before her eyes. The car had silently come to a stop.

Her destination had been reached.

With that, the remaining questions were best left unspoken.

It truly was… quite coincidental!

Shen Ru opened the door, stepped out, and stood by the window, waving to her brother. “Thanks, bro. Goodbye.”

“It was on the way, no need to thank me.” With those words, he pressed the gas pedal and drove away without delay..
