Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Beg Me

Shen Yanhe was forced to stop, and before she could turn to see who had grabbed the back of the wheelchair, she heard a deep, angry voice, "It really is you! Shen Yanhe!"

When Shen Yanhe turned around, she saw her uncle Shen Guowei standing behind her, hand clutching the back of the wheelchair, his beard scruffy, eyes full of red veins, looking utterly dejected.

It seemed that Shen Guowei had a rough few days.

Shen Yanhe looked at him calmly and asked, "Uncle, what’s the matter?"

Shen Guowei held onto the back of her wheelchair tightly, as if afraid she would escape, and upon hearing her question, he scoffed with a furious expression, "You still recognize me as your uncle, do you?"

"I thought that after you climbed up to the Fu Family, you had cut ties with the Shen Family! Look at what you’ve done before!"

"I’ll not even mention beating your cousin, but you actually hit your aunt too! Knowing she’s allergic to milk, you still forced her to drink it! You let her lie in the hospital for so many days without visiting or even apologizing!"

Shen Guowei rebuked Shen Yanhe, "And now, seeing me, not a trace of remorse on your face! Shen Yanhe, do you even have a heart? Are you happy only when you’ve torn my family apart?"

After Shen Guowei complained to his mother over the phone, he thought Shen Yanhe would immediately come to the hospital to apologize to Gandan Xue, using that opportunity to pressure her, to whisper into Fu Yanhe’s ear and convince him to back off from attacking the Shen Corporation.

But he waited and waited, and Shen Yanhe didn’t show up.

Not only that, the company’s projects kept getting terminated one after another, and just this morning, the company’s stock plummeted again.

He was at his wits’ end, having not slept well for days, and despite repeatedly calling Shen Yanhe, she never answered.

Shen Guowei couldn’t take it anymore. He had intended to go directly to the Fu Family to find Shen Yanhe, but he hadn’t expected to bump into her at the hospital—it really seemed like fate was on his side.

Facing Shen Guowei’s accusations, Shen Yanhe was calm, her face showing no reaction, her eyes full of mockery, "The reason I hit my aunt, she knows very well herself. Uncle, you might want to ask her about it."

She now somewhat regretted not being harsher back then, wishing she had put Gandan Xue straight into the ICU, making her lie there for three or four days without being out of danger, just like Shen Huai used to be.

Shen Guowei almost choked on his breath, pointing at her accusingly, "Even if she did something wrong, you could’ve just asked her to apologize to you, couldn’t you?"

"Just because of that private issue, you let Fu Yanhe attack the Shen Family’s company?"

Shen Guowei blurted out in exasperation, "That company doesn’t just contain the toil of your uncle’s lifetime, it also holds your father’s shares! Can you really bear to watch it go bankrupt by the Fu Corporation’s doing?"

Shen Guowei wasn’t stupid.

At first, he too thought it was Shen Yingying who had provoked Fu Yanhe, but considering that his wife was Shen Yanhe, he figured Fu Yanhe would not take action against the Shen Corporation for her sake.

But now that he had taken action, it must certainly involve Shen Yanhe’s influence.

Upon hearing Shen Guowei bring up the fact that her mysteriously missing father still had shares in the Shen Corporation, and that neither she nor Shen Huai had seen a penny of the dividends all these years, her eyes grew even colder, and she scoffed, "The company isn’t mine, why shouldn’t I bear it?"

"My dad has dividends, but neither Shen Huai nor I have seen a penny of it over the years."

Shen Guowei choked up, his face looking uglier as he said, "But wasn’t that money used to treat Shen Huai’s illness? You’re not unaware of how expensive his treatment was."

He had not expected that even when he mentioned her father’s shares in the company, Shen Yanhe would still remain unmoved; he started to feel anxious inside.

Fearing that Shen Yanhe would continue to dig into the dividend issue, he shifted his gaze to her, heavy with a hint of threat, "Then can you bear to see your grandmother heartbroken when she learns that the Shen Corporation has gone bankrupt?"

Shen Yanhe’s expression darkened. She caught the implication in his words.

If the Shen Corporation went bankrupt, he would tell their grandmother about the bankruptcy.

And the one thing the old lady dreaded most was distress; her health was already not good—two more years of worrying over this, and she might not hold up much longer.

Seeing Shen Yanhe’s troubled expression, Shen Guowei softened his tone a bit, hypocritically saying, "Yanhe, your uncle knows he wronged you with the forced marriage, but your uncle had no choice; I am here to apologize to you."

"If I could, I wouldn’t want grandma to be so burdened and worried, but the company is at the brink of collapse now. If it really goes bankrupt, uncle won’t be able to hold on either."

Shen Yanhe watched his pretentious expression with a blank look, her grip on the wheelchair’s armrests tightening.

"Yanhe, for the sake of your grandmother, please make Fu Yanhe stand down. Don’t let him target Shen Corporation anymore, can you?"

"Rest assured, as long as he stops targeting the company, I will also restrain your aunt, so she won’t bother you anymore."

"I’m begging you now. I really can’t afford to go bankrupt."

Shen Guowei had never begged anyone in his life. Now he had to humbly plead with a junior, which made him feel incredibly stifled.

But he had no choice but to beg.

If he didn’t, the Shen Family would truly be ruined.

Shen Yanhe’s grip on the wheelchair armrest tightened, her knuckles turning white. She looked at Shen Guowei expressionlessly and said, "Uncle, begging me is useless."

"You overestimate my position in Fu Yanhe’s heart. I can’t persuade him and I can’t control him."

"You would be better off saving your energy and asking Fu Yanhe directly."

She was well aware that she didn’t hold much of a position in Fu Yanhe’s heart. If Fu Yanhe had made a move against the Shen Family, it was because the Shen Family had provoked him.

She didn’t think she could influence Fu Yanhe’s decisions.

Shen Guowei did not expect that despite his patient pleading, Shen Yanhe would still be so stubborn. His face instantly turned incredibly ugly.

"Uncle, instead of wasting time pleading with me, you might as well spend it figuring out how you managed to provoke Fu Yanhe."

"Also, uncle, if you have any conscience left, don’t let grandma know about these complicated matters. She’s your mother, and you’re her son. She has worked hard for you for most of her life. You should let her enjoy some peace."

As her words fell, Shen Yanhe didn’t look at Shen Guowei’s dark and dripping expression and simply wheeled away.

Shen Guowei stood in place, his gaze heavy as he watched Shen Yanhe’s retreating back. He snorted coldly and left with a sullen face.

Inside Gandan Xue’s hospital room.

Shen Yingying was sitting in front of Gandan Xue’s bed, peeling an apple.

The bedridden Gandan Xue, her face spotted with rashes from allergies and with a hoarse voice, cursed Shen Yanhe: "That little bitch is just as vile as her mother! If she comes to apologize to me, and she doesn’t kneel, there’s no way I can calm down!"

Just as she finished cursing, the door to the hospital room was pushed open from the outside.

Shen Guowei entered with a gloomy face, and Gandan Xue eagerly asked, "Husband, when is that slut Shen Yanhe coming to apologize to me?"

He glanced at Gandan Xue, then abruptly grabbed a newspaper from the coffee table and threw it violently in her direction.

"Ah!" Gandan Xue was hit unexpectedly in the face, crying out in shock, while Shen Yingying, frightened, flinched and nearly cut her own hand with the fruit knife.

"Shen! What are you doing?" Gandan Xue shouted, holding the newspaper and yelling at Shen Guowei, "Are you rebelling?"

"Me, rebel? It seems to me that you’re the one rebelling! Look what you and Shen Yingying have done! I asked you to keep quiet, not to provoke Shen Yanhe or infuriate Fu Yanhe, and you just wouldn’t listen!"

Shen Guowei stood up abruptly, pointing at Gandan Xue and swearing furiously, "Now look what happened! The company’s operations have completely collapsed, and the stock price has plummeted. Our company is about to go bankrupt!"

"I was out there begging Shen Yanhe like a dog to give the Shen Family a chance to survive, and here you are, comfortable in bed, calling her a slut. So what does that make me, begging for the help of a ’slut’?"
