Chapter 358: Sneak

“So after that incident, you chased Fu Ting to Liancheng and never allowed him to come back.” Shen Yin sighed.
The entire incident seemed to have nothing to do with Fu Ting, but the circumstances was too coincidental for them not to be suspicious.
Fu Ting clearly knew that Huang Long had ill intentions towards Lian Meng, but he had still brought her to Huang Long’s place to drink alone. He even got himself drunk first, leaving Lian Meng to drink alone at the club before she met Huang Long.
Lian Jing obviously thought the same thing. Hence, no matter how much Fu Ting and Lian’e argued, he had used his new-found authority as President to send Fu Ting to Liancheng to expand the market.
The feud between the two families started from a power struggle but now reconciliation was out of the question.
Old Master Lian knew this very well. That was why he had tacitly agreed to Lian Jing’s actions back then. Even now, he ignored the fact that Lian’e had been exiled.
However, he could not be too ruthless. Hence, Fu Ting’s return to take over as his mother’s position was an exchange of interests that everyone had tacitly agreed to. This was also Lian Jing’s way of giving in to Old Master Lian.
Besides what Lian’e had done to Lian Jing and Lian Meng, Old Master Lian still loved the siblings very much. Lian Jing was willing to make concessions for Old Master Lian so that he could see his grandson in his later years.
After Lian Jing finished telling Shen Yin all this, the anger in his eyes dissipated slightly. After all these years, he was still brooding over what had happened back then. It was precisely because he was afraid that Lian’e and Fu Ting would attack Lian Meng again that he had insisted on sending Lian Meng overseas so that she would learn to be independent.
Lian Meng had not let him down. In her years overseas, she had learned a lot and she had managed the company well.
However, when Shen Yin thought of the conditions that Fu Ting had proposed to her, she felt a headache coming on. She thought that it would be easier to communicate with Lian Meng, but now that she knew how Fu Ting had once plotted against Lian Meng when she was underage, she did not know what to say.
Perhaps she could think of some other way…
Lian Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms who was deep in thought. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her waist. “What are you thinking about?”
Shen Yin immediately gathered her thoughts. She smiled as she batted her eyes and said, “I was thinking that you were very intimidating back then. Fu Ting must have been very afraid of you.”
Lian Jing tilted his head and planted a light kiss on her lips. “Then are you afraid of me?”
“Me?” Shen Yin widened her eyes and pointed at herself in disbelief. “How can I be afraid of you? No matter how powerful you are, you still have to obey me in everything! ”
Lian Jing was amused by her innocent look. He smiled and said, “You’re the only one who dares to speak to me like that.”
It seemed like she would not be able to reconcile Lian Meng and Fu Ting. Shen Yin would have to find another solution.
The next day happened to be her day off. Coincidentally, Lian Jing went out that morning on a mysterious errand. As usual, Lian Meng went out to play with Shang Sheng and the rest early in the morning. Even Fu Ting went out after breakfast.
Only Old Master Lian and Shen Yin were left in the house.
She made up her mind to wait for Old Master Lian to take an afternoon nap before sneaking into Fu Ting’s room to search it. She wanted to take back the dress he had hidden while he was not around.
Along the way, Shen Yin sneakily and carefully observed the Lian family’s servants who were doing their jobs. After avoiding everyone, she bumped into Lu Wen, who was just exiting Fu Ting’s room.
Both of them jumped in fright. Lu Wen looked Shen Yin up and down and asked with a suspicious frown, “Why is Miss Shen at Young Master Fu’s room? Is there something you need from Young Master Fu?”
“No!” Shen Yin had a guilty conscience, so she answered quickly. Then, she turned around and patted her chest to calm herself down. “Why are you here?”
Lu Wen found it strange, but she played her part and replied seriously, “I’m here to tidy Young Master Fu’s room. Old Master asked me to be in charge of taking care of Young Master Fu, and I take my responsibilities seriously.” “Oh.” Shen Yin did not really want to hear her pompous speech, but she caught the main point.
Tidy the room?
Perhaps she had seen that dress?
Shen Yin flushed at the thought. She deliberately put on a stern look to hide her panic. “You’ve been working hard. I’m just strolling around. You can go about your business.”
Lu Wen nodded slightly. Looking at Shen Yin’s slightly uneasy expression, she suddenly smiled and said, “Miss Shen, you’re really not looking for Young Master Fu? If you have anything that’s inconvenient to say, I can convey a message for you.”
“No need.” Shen Yin only wanted her to leave quickly and not waste her time. If Fu Ting suddenly came back, she would not have time to make her move..
