The wound on Shen Qianrou’s face was hard to see. Even if she wasn’t injured, she had made a fool of herself at the award ceremony. It was enough for her to find a hole to hide in.

  However, everyone had underestimated Shen Qianrou’s shamelessness.

  She put on a thick layer of makeup and came out to entertain the guests.

  Everyone thought that Shen Qianrou would not appear. Now that she was smiling, she greeted them warmly.

  She didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, the guests felt embarrassed.

  She didn’t know what kind of attitude she should have with such a shameless woman.

  Jiang Rongrong greeted her as well, but all she received was polite alienation.

  Some people handed over their gifts and congratulated her without even smiling.

  They had come specially to get close to Shen Fanxing. They didn’t want to be pestered by this strange pair of grandfather and granddaughter.

  In the backyard, Shen Shanghua stood by the window in a well-ironed suit. He held his phone with a heavy expression.

  “It’s not your fault. Do whatever you want. It’s their fault and they deserve to be punished.”


  Shen Fanxing drove to the Shen family’s old residence. She was alone in the car. Her phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth speaker and Shen Shanghua’s heavy voice echoed in the car.

  Shen Fanxing glanced at her watch expressionlessly. “I’ve never thought that it’s my fault. Although I don’t want to deal with these matters today, it’s hard not to admire the tenacity of some people.” “Up to you.”


  “… Okay.”


  Shen Fanxing hung up and narrowed her eyes. She turned to look at the document on the passenger seat with a cold expression.

  Most of the guests had arrived, but Shen Fanxing was nowhere to be seen.

  “Is CEO Shen coming tonight?”


  “That’s right. I know she’s not on good terms with the Shen family, but it’s Old Master Shen’s birthday today. She should be here, right?”


  “Sigh, let’s wait a little longer.”


  Yang Liwei held Shen Defan’s arm and walked through the crowd with a smile.

  Actually, everyone was conflicted.

  No matter what, Shen Fanxing was still a member of the Shen family. If she let bygones be bygones, everyone in the Shen family was not someone they could afford to offend.

  as

  As the saying went, when a person achieved success, everyone would rise. Besides, no matter how terrible the situation was, what could CEO Shen do to his family?

  Jiang Rongrong went on stage and said,

  “Thank you all for attending my husband’s birthday banquet tonight. To be honest, too many things have happened in the Shen family recently. But everyone makes mistakes these days. Qianrou has been reflecting on herself for the past few days. As her grandmother, I really can’t bear for her life to be ruined like this. Most of the blame for her mistakes is on me for indulging her and siding with her. Therefore, I’m willing to do my best to bear all the responsibility. Now, I announce that Shen Qianrou will step down from her position as the chairman of Lan Yun Entertainment. At the same time, I also announce that Shen Qianrou will permanently withdraw from the entertainment industry and take over the management of Lan Yun Entertainment. I hope everyone can give the young one last chance…”


  “It’s a pity that they can’t give it even if they wanted to.”


  A cold voice sounded from the door.

  Everyone slowly turned their heads and saw a tall and slender figure standing outside the tall door. She crossed the threshold and walked in.

  Beside her was an assistant.

  “It’s CEO Shen.”


  “They’re indeed here!” “CEO Shen…”


  Everyone’s attention was easily diverted.

  Shen Qianrou’s heart sank as she glared daggers at Shen Fanxing.

  She thought that after all these years, she had long been a winner in front of her. She didn’t expect that she would lose completely in a scent-making competition.

  All the glory she had now was something she could never achieve in her entire life.

  She was truly desperate.

  Shen Fanxing had done it.

  Desperate times call for desperate measures…


  Shen Qianrou walked forward slowly and looked at Shen Fanxing meekly.

  “Sister… can I speak to you?”


  Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and stared at her for a while before her lips curled into a faint sneer.

  “Speak.”


  Shen Qianrou bit her lips and looked around. Seeing that Shen Fanxing had no intention of moving, she clenched her fists and said softly,

  “I just want to apologize to you. I was blinded by jealousy previously. I hope Sister can…”


  “I can’t.”


  Shen Fanxing smiled faintly, her voice clear and cold.

  Shen Qianrou bit her lips tightly.

  No one present dared to say anything. Humans instinctively sympathized with the weak. Seeing Shen Qianrou’s humble appearance, they felt a little pitiful.

  However, they didn’t want to offend Shen Fanxing because of her.

  “I know you hate me! But I really know that I’m in the wrong. I also know that what I’ve done to you is too much… I can do anything. I just hope that I can make up for Sister…” Shen Qianrou was moved. She didn’t cry, but it was inexplicably touching. At that moment, a sharp voice sounded. “A knife! He’s holding a knife!”


  The crowd stirred.

  “Shen Fanxing, you b*tch, I’m going to kill you!”


  She watched as the man lunged at her with a knife.

  Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes and was about to dodge when Shen Qianrou grabbed her hand tightly.

  At that moment, understanding and gloominess flashed across his narrowed eyes.

  She didn’t move and gave up struggling. Shen Qianrou held her arm tightly and blocked her with a pale face.

  “Sister, be careful!” With a panicked cry, the man’s knife stabbed into Shen Qianrou’s shoulder blade. A few centimeters lower was her heart.

  Seeing that he had killed the wrong person, the man collapsed to the ground.

  “Qianrou!”


  “Rou’er!”


  Yang Liwei and Jiang Rongrong came back to their senses and rushed over. However, Shen Qianrou’s face was pale as she frowned at Shen Fanxing. “Sister… are you alright?” As she spoke, she covered the wound and slid to the ground slowly in front of Shen Fanxing.

  “Qianrou! Why are you so silly? Hurry up and call an ambulance!”


  Yang Liwei began to cry and the man on the ground was suppressed by the two men. Shen Qianrou’s face was pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

  “Mom, it’s okay. I owe Sister…”


  Then, Shen Qianrou looked at Shen Fanxing and said weakly, “Sister… I really know my mistake… I hope you can forgive me…”


  Everyone was shocked by Shen Qianrou’s sacrifice and looked at Shen Fanxing
