Seeing no trace of Huo Yanyan, Wei Ying relaxed.
Then, someone said, “Mr. Shen looks so haggard lately… I wonder if that crafty woman Huo Yanyan sucked out all his essence.”
Some women laughed lewdly.
Wei Ying felt bad when she heard their words.
If it was in the past, she wouldn’t care how they mocked him, but Shen Mingxi was now indeed at the lowest point of his life.
Due to Shen Mingxi’s relationship with Huo Yanyan, the Wei Family had refused to cooperate with the Shen Family; the senior generation of the Tang Family were old fashioned and didn’t want to work with the guy with a tarnished reputation. Since Tang Chuan didn’t manage the family business, he didn’t have a say in it.
Su Yu was the only one who didn’t boycott Shen Mingxi, but the latter hadn’t invested in film and television, so he didn’t have many opportunities to work with Su Yu.
For some reason, the Ye Family was doing things to crush Shen Mingxi’s business.
Shen Mingxi’s father had gone to the States for rehabilitation after the heart transplant surgery and his mother went there too, leaving Shen Mingxi to support the company all by himself, but it was hard to know how long he could last.
Huo Yanyan looked docile in public but was actively scheming for his downfall.
Of course, she didn’t have the ability to make those business big shots boycott Shen Mingxi; all she needed to do was ruin his reputation as his girlfriend. By spreading rumors on the media, she tried to deteriorate the business of the Shen Family.
Of course, Huo Yanyan had someone backing her, otherwise she’d have no money to live or buy the reporters to do stories to tarnish the Shen Family’s reputation.
Shen Mingxi was even more low-key now. If he was someone else, he’d have had Huo Yanyan’s legs broken long ago.
But considering Huo Yanyan was Tiantian’s only family in the world, he didn’t want to deal with her. But instead of being grateful, she was trying harder to ruin him.
“Another man would have exploded long ago, but he still puts up with Huo Yanyan. No wonder people call him… Ninja Turtle. Haha.”
Hearing their mocking words, Wei Ying couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Stop it.”
“Ying, I hope you’ve gotten over him. Seriously, he now looks like a homeless dog, certainly no match for you. The Shen Family’s market value has shrunk so much that its assets are less than one hundredth of those in your family… You’d better stay away from him.”
“Yeah. Ying, the media has stories about how people stay away from him as if he was a disease. You’d better not have anything to do with him… It’ll bring shame to your Wei Family.”
The girls advised her with great gusto, but Wei Ying ignored them and walked toward the door.
Shen Mingxi had seen Wei Ying when he entered, but he didn’t intend to greet her. He was about to turn away when Wei Ying called out to him, “Mingxi.”
“Hello, Ying.” Shen Mingxi had to stop his steps and return the greeting.
“You saw me but still wanted to leave. Are you avoiding me?” Wei Ying stared at his face in displeasure.
