She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 150: Chapter 0150: The Young Master Really Spoils You

The Sheng family elder did not understand what his granddaughter was truly scheming.

As Sheng Xueqin secretly glanced at Sheng Xueqian, who was still incessantly crying, she proposed,

“Grandfather, these matters, I can only discuss with you alone. Let’s go upstairs to the study to talk in detail.”

The Sheng family elder frowned.

“Your sister is not an outsider.”

“She doesn’t understand the company’s affairs and wouldn’t comprehend them.

Moreover, didn’t you say she is still weak and needs a good rest?

Ms. Wang, please take the second young miss back to her bedroom.

Rest! Rest! Rest!”

With a hint of a sarcastic smile on her lips, Sheng Xueqin helped the old man towards the study on the second floor.

Sheng Xueqian was sobbing uncontrollably as Ms. Wang helped her back to her own bedroom.

“Ms. Wang, how can I make my sister stop misunderstanding me?

This time I’m really in trouble, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t clear my name!”

Ms. Wang also looked helpless.

“Second young miss, although I have been with the Sheng family for a long time, these matters are not something I can comment on.

You know your elder sister’s temper. She always sticks to her decisions. Otherwise, you might just… avoid her as much as possible.”

Sheng Xueqian pursed her lips and nodded.

“You’re right, all I can do is avoid my sister and stop bothering her.”

“Then second young miss, you take a rest first. I’ll go do some work.”

“Mm.”

After Ms. Wang left, Sheng Xueqian wiped her tears and clenched her hand around her phone a bit tighter. After thinking for a while, she unlocked her phone and dialed a series of numbers.

Second floor study.

Sheng Xueqin laid out her plan completely, and it took the Sheng family elder a while before he spoke,

“Are you sure you want to do this? Huo family has already withdrawn from the bid, and Sheng Corp will surely win it, is there a need to…”

“Grandfather, although the Huo family has withdrawn, I’ve heard recently that many buyers are optimistic about the development prospects of this parcel of land.

I’m worried about possible complications! Huo Tingyang is now recognized by the Huo family. No matter what, this move will definitely be seen by outsiders as a change in the Huo family’s strategy.

Instead of letting this become a joke, why not maximize our benefits?

Let’s secure the bid first, and then immediately announce our engagement at the celebration party, which will also create a buzz.

If this project is hugely successful, it will not only be beneficial for us to penetrate the local market, but it may also pave the way for expansion into the European market.

Moreover, I have already started to scout for a respectable designer for some domestic mid-to-high-end designer brands, so that beyond our family business, we can also explore new sectors and lead the market.

The Huo family specialises in industrial operations, often dealing with infrastructure projects — a big piece of the pie that we cannot easily share.

We have to find an indirect solution. Only by doing so can we change the status of the Sheng family.

Grandfather, you surely don’t want others to mention the Sheng family and think that we are overshadowed by the Huo family?”

Sheng Xueqin came well-prepared this time, first allowing the old man to vent his spleen and to calm down before persuading him with emotions and reasoning.

And truly, the old man bought into Sheng Xueqin’s arguments quickly.

“You’re right, in terms of industrial operations, we still lag behind the Huo family, thanks to the support the authorities provide them, which many people envy.

But it’s unavoidable, that piece of meat has been in their mouth for decades and won’t change overnight. The Lou family had connections everywhere back in the day.

Huo Shiwen only made the Huo family even stronger by marrying Lou Peiyun, the only daughter of the Lou family!”

“Ah, if only I hadn’t gone to Spring City back then, perhaps the Sheng family today… forget it, let’s not talk about it, it’s all in the past now.”

The Sheng family elder spoke somberly, recalling the old times vividly.

It was the first time Sheng Xueqin heard the old man talk about the past.

“Grandfather, are you talking about Huo Tingxiao’s grandmother? She…

“It’s all in the past, there’s no need to bring it up.”

Xueqin, this is the only chance Grandfather can give you. If you fail to grasp it, you should know the consequences it could bring to the Sheng Family.

Although I am the chairman of the Sheng Family, you must understand that losing the public’s trust…”

“Grandfather, rest assured, this time, I definitely will not let you down.”

———-

The day of the bidding arrived, and Tingxiao was invited to be a guest, which also allowed him to attend the celebration party after the bidding.

Who the celebration was for was self-evident.

His gaze fell on the invitation, and Tingxiao spoke in a light tone.

“Did you handle everything I asked you to?”

He Yan nodded.

“Mr. Huo, rest assured, everything is being done as you instructed.”

“Hmm, just proceed as planned.”

“Also, the new dress and shoes you ordered for Mrs. Huo have arrived.”

“Have the dress and shoes delivered to the house immediately, then tell her to accompany me to the bidding this afternoon.”

He Yan naturally did not dare to delay Tingxiao’s instructions.

Mu Lan was in her temporary studio at home cutting a pattern when Mrs. Lee came to knock on her door, informing her that He Yan had brought the new dress and shoes.

“Mrs. Huo, these are prepared by Mr. Huo for you. There’s a bidding event this afternoon, and he hopes you will attend together.”

A bidding event?

“Is TX participating in the bidding for that suburban land?”

Strange, wasn’t it supposed to be given to Xueqin?

“Mr. Huo is only attending as a guest; he is not partaking in the bidding.”

Mu Lan pouted, thinking that Tingxiao really had a strong presence, being invited even though he wasn’t buying.

“Alright, I understand, thank you, He Assistant.”

“You’re welcome, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Hmm.”

After sending He Yan off, Mrs. Lee looked at the dress, her smile beaming.

“The young master really spoils you, even such matters he keeps in mind.”

Mu Lan felt somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, recently Tingxiao seemed to have had a change of character suddenly turning into a perfect gentleman, which she still found a bit unfamiliar and secretly thrilling.

“He might have had a twinge of conscience, no telling how long that will last.”

Mrs. Lee was amused by Mu Lan’s remark.

“The young master appears indifferent to everyone, but he actually isn’t very accustomed to getting close to people.

Actually, when the young master was a child, he wasn’t like this.”

A child? Mu Lan suddenly became interested. Mrs. Lee was usually very discreet and seldom mentioned these private matters about Tingxiao.

“Oh? What was he like as a child?”

Mrs. Lee seemed lost in her memories.

“The young master as a child was actually very lively. He learned to read quite early and could recognize many words even when he was very young, and he was particularly smart.

He was especially fond of small animals and loved sweets, but the old master said those things weren’t good for the young master and wouldn’t allow him to touch them.

I still remember a servant brought back a chick from his hometown for the young master to keep as a pet. The young master secretly raised it, but when the chick grew up, the old master found out.

As a result…”

Mrs. Lee seemed unable to continue, while Mu Lan hazarded a bold guess in her mind, yet didn’t dare to confirm it, thinking it was perhaps too cruel for a child. But she instinctively asked Mrs. Lee.

“What happened… how did it end?”
