REHC – Chapter 18

        After calling Shen Shu, no one answered after a dozen or so rings.

        Ruan Tian raised her arm and glanced at the watch on her wrist. She saw that it was still pretty early, so she changed into a warm coat and headed outside.

        It was already snowing in the capital and, although the snow-covered scenery was very beautiful, it was also freezing cold.

        Ruan Tian took a taxi over to the Shen Group Building, a place that was considered the top spot in the business district. The building was huge, with dozens of floors that towered into the air before disappearing into the clouds. Ruan Tian looked up and tried to spot the top of the building for a while, but in the end all she got was an ache in her neck. 

        Eventually, Ruan Tian sighed, reorganized her thoughts, and slowly went into the building under the watchful eyes of the security guards.

        However, before she could get on the elevator, Ruan Tian was stopped at the front desk.

        The receptionist smiled at her, “Hello, who are you?”

        However, the bit of contempt in the receptionist’s eyes betrayed her, and Ruan Tian could tell that this woman definitely knew who she was.

        In the end, she just said: “I’m looking for Shen Shu.”

        The receptionist asked: “Pardon me miss, but do you have an appointment?”

        “No.”

        “Then please make an appointment first.”

        “I need to see him now.”

        I can’t contact him on your behalf if you don’t have an appointment.”

        Ruan Tian fell silent for a moment.

        Then she pointed to her own face, “You recognize me, right?”

        “?”

        “The relationship between him and I, you should be very clear on it in your heart, right? Do I need to make an appointment with you when we roll in the bed?”

        “…”

        The receptionist looked at her with an expression that seemed to say ‘Look at this abandoned woman who has gone crazy because of love.’ 

        “Miss Ruan, I can only act in accordance with the regulations. Do you have an appointment or not?”

        This receptionist clearly regarded her as a crazy woman who was obsessed with Shen Shu and had come to harass him, so she was determined not to let her go up.

        Ruan Tian was speechless, “I don’t have one.”

        She just came to ask for money, why would she make an appointment?

        Fuck.

        In the end, Ruan Tian was driven out by security.

        The doors of the Shen Building slammed in her face, and she just stood there dumbly for a moment with an expression like she wanted to die. 

        However, she never expected that this scene would be photographed and then posted to an anonymous forum.

        【Eating melons on the front line: The small 18th-line actress who married rich couldn’t even see her husband’s face and was driven out by the people below. The picture is her after being thrown out. 】

        2L: Hahahahaha, WTF, I’m going to die laughing.

        3L: I didn’t expect it to be so funny before I clicked on the picture.

        4L: Wow, this is Ruan Tian, right? I guess that the rumors that the Shen family are about to dump her were true.

        5L: What kind of married rich is this? Isn’t she just an abandoned woman.

        6L: I can’t wait to see Shen Shu’s new woman after this. He’s a rich businessman so the delicate sisters will flock to him. I’m laughing to death.

        This photo of Ruan Tian was continually roasted in the entertainment section of the forum.

        The screen was full of posts about her.

        【WTF, why is this so funny! ! I’m still laughing half an hour later. 】

        【After seeing this picture of Ruan Tian I had to install a new head to get out all the laughter. 】

        【Ruan Tian’s left eye says ‘I want to die’ and her right eye says ‘Let me die’. Her expression like ‘No really, I’m not here to harass my husband’ is just too funny. 】

        As for Ruan Tian herself, who was inexplicably generating heat again, she still had no idea about any of it.

        Right now, she was sitting in a coffee shop nearby the Shen Group Building, with an icy expression on her face. She rested one hand on her palm and casually sent a few WeChat messages to Shen Shu, “I, my cat, and your mother all miss you very much.”

        “Oh, wait! I forgot!”

        “I don’t have a cat.”

        “And you don’t have a mother!”

—————

    Inside the Shen Group Building, the meeting had been ongoing for two hours, and all the senior managers of each department were on edge. 

        Shen Shu was sitting at the head seat of the conference table. His black suit emphasized his pale complexion and his expression seemed cold at a glance. However, if you looked closely, you could see a detached smile playing about the corners of his lips. 

        For a man, his hand was extremely beautiful, with fingers that were slender and pale. Currently, those fingers were idly twirling a pen. Gradually, the spinning motion began to slow and slow until it finally stopped, the black pen held upright in front of him. From around the table, everyone looked at him with bated breath, waiting for him to make the final decision.

        He slowly said: “We’ll finish this meeting here for now.”

        A huge breath of relief seemed to escape all at once, and everyone began to pack up and leave. When the people in the conference room finally dispersed, Secretary Xu silently stepped forward and told Shen Shu about Ruan Tian’s visit.

        Shen Shu raised an eyebrow and gave a slight smile, “Did she come to make trouble again?”

       Secretary Xu hesitated. He thought for a while, and then replied: “The Madam didn’t make any trouble, rather, it seems that she was looking for you for something.”

        Shen Shu assumed that Ruan Tian only wanted to pester him as usual, but perhaps she had dreamed up some new method this time. His face showed a faint sneer, not taking it seriously at all.

        Secretary Xu’s eye twitched and he debated whether to say anything more. Before speaking with the boss, he had checked the surveillance and he felt that Ruan Tian really didn’t seem to have come to make trouble or pester the boss this time. On the contrary, when the president’s name was mentioned, there was clear dislike on her face.

        Shen Shu took out his phone and saw that there were a dozen or so missed calls from Ruan Tian, but his face remained indifferent. He fiddled with the phone for a moment, opened WeChat, and what he saw-

        “You don’t have a mother!” 

        The five words were large and extremely conspicuous.

        Shen Shu smiled thinly. It was a cold smile that would make a person shiver to see.
