Chapter 65 Shen Wancheng, a pleasant collaboration

Shen Wancheng stared straight at Gu Jinxing, as if trying to see into his heart through his eyes.

However, Shen Wancheng felt that what she saw was complete honesty.

Gu Jinxing's logical reasoning was all coherent, and there was nothing about her that Gu Jinxing would want from her. The value she was demonstrating now was such that if Gu Jinxing had ulterior motives, he could have replaced her with another woman.

Therefore, there was nothing Shen Wancheng wouldn't dare to agree to Gu Jinxing's request.

Shen Wancheng said, "I've made up my mind."

Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow and smiled, his rugged and handsome face instantly softening.

Gu Jinxing asked, "What are the conditions?"

Shen Wancheng walked towards Gu Jinxing and extended a hand to him.

"Be honest. Even if I'm being used, I need to know that I'm being used."

Marriage is ultimately a different kind of interpersonal relationship, and Shen Wancheng needs a commitment.

Of course, Shen Wancheng also understood that when someone harbors ill intentions towards you, any verbal promises or agreements become invalid the moment those ill intentions arise.

But as long as there is a promise, and that promise is overturned, she has every reason to retaliate in any way.

"I promise you, I will be completely honest with you about everything concerning you."

Gu Jinxing grasped Shen Wancheng's hand, stood up from his wheelchair, and stood opposite her.

Gu Jinxing is 1.8 meters tall, and he looks exceptionally tall in front of Shen Wancheng, like a towering green mountain standing in front of her.

It gives people a sense of security without them even realizing it.

"Actually, not only do you not believe it, but I myself didn't believe that this day would come when I would choose someone for reasons other than self-interest. But it has happened after all, and one day you will believe that I chose you not because of self-interest."

Gu Jinxing was originally holding Shen Wancheng's hand like a gentleman would hold a lady's hand, but Shen Wancheng switched to a cooperative handshake.

"I won't mince words, Gu Jinxing. I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future."

Helpless, Gu Jinxing could only agree with Shen Wancheng and say, "Shen Wancheng, it's a pleasure to work with you."

When the door to the reception room was pushed open from the inside, and Shen Wancheng pushed Gu Jinxing out, Shen Yao was the most surprised.

Shen Yao jumped up from the sofa and took a few steps to Shen Wancheng.

"Sis, why did you push this guy out? If you had just called out, someone would have come and pushed him out."

Shen Wancheng shook her head at Shen Yao, "It's okay, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Ok."

Shen Wancheng had already told Gu Jinxing that they would tell Xu Pingtao about their upcoming marriage at another time. So after Gu Jinxing came out, he chatted briefly with Xu Pingtao and then left with Liang Muchao, who was waiting for him.

Although Xu Pingtao was older than Gu Jinxing, they were both heads of prominent families in Hong Kong and were on equal footing. Xu Pingtao saw Gu Jinxing to the door before returning to speak with Shen Wancheng.

From Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's expressions, no one could tell what the two had discussed in the reception room.

Not to mention Shen Yao's curiosity, Xu Pingtao was actually quite interested in their conversation.

Xu Pingtao asked Shen Wancheng, "What exactly is your relationship with Gu Jinxing?"

Shen Wancheng pursed her lips and chuckled softly, "I thought Grandpa wouldn't be curious."

"Haha, you little rascal, you're keeping me in suspense. I was thinking you'd tell Grandpa right away."

Shen Yao pouted, "Grandpa, don't pretend to be wronged. I don't even know what happened yet, so why would my sister tell you first?"

Shen Wancheng glanced at the time; it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, so she stopped the conversation.

"It's getting late, Yao Yao and I should head back."

"You can stay at the mansion if it gets late."

Shen Wancheng looked at Xu Pingtao and said meaningfully, "Shen Mei is still waiting for us."

"Alright, you can go back and stay here today. We'll have someone tidy up the small building on the right side of the mansion tomorrow. Since your grandmother likes you, you can come and stay at the mansion for a few days from time to time to keep her company."

Shen Wancheng understood He Lin's silent support today and was grateful to the old woman.

Shen Wancheng readily agreed, "Okay, Yaoyao and I will definitely come to stay at the mansion from now on. Thank you for taking care of us today, Grandpa and Grandma He."

In fact, given today's situation, even if Xu Pingtao had a problem with Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao because of the banquet farce, he would have unconditionally supported and protected them at the banquet.

This is the He Mansion, Xu Pingtao's territory. If his adopted granddaughter suffers injustice here, he won't stand up for her. What matters is the reputation of Xu Pingtao and the He family.

However, if Xu Pingtao was only protecting Shen Wancheng out of a desire to save face, he wouldn't have let He Lin stand up and call Shen Wancheng away.

Shen Wancheng understood this very well.

“From today onwards, you are my rightful granddaughters, Xu Pingtao, and it is only right that I cherish you.”

Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao thanked them again in unison.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

It was already late, and He Lin had long since gone back to her room to rest, so Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao didn't bother her anymore.

They went to the banquet hall to call Shen Mei, who was waiting there, and then they went back together by car.

Shen Mei returned to the banquet hall before the banquet ended, and she found a corner to quietly observe everything in the banquet hall.

Watching the figures moving about in the banquet hall, everything was glamorous and dazzling.

They also watched as Xu Pingtao led the Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao sisters, chatting and laughing happily with Hong Kong celebrities.

The ambition and resentment in Shen Mei's eyes burned fiercely like flames.

That evening, Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao went into the lounge to talk to Gu Jinxing and Xu Pingtao. Shen Mei no longer followed silently as before, but stayed alone in the banquet hall.

When Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao came out, Shen Mei remained silent and followed them in the car back.

In the car.

Shen Yao didn't notice Shen Mei's silence; her mind was entirely on Shen Wancheng.

"Sister, what exactly did you and Gu Jinxing talk about? I'm really curious."

"It's nothing, you'll find out in a few days."

As soon as Shen Wancheng finished speaking, Shen Mei glanced at Shen Wancheng and their eyes met.

Shen Mei felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught spying.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt.

Shen Yao didn't care about the perfunctory tone in Shen Wancheng's words, and nodded to herself, saying, "Okay, you'll tell me sooner or later anyway."

"Sister, actually, if Gu Jinxing weren't lame, he would be a pretty good husband, don't you think?"

Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow, "But isn't he limping?"

"Hmph." Shen Yao snorted coldly, "Who knows if he's faking it or not."

Shen Wancheng pressed further, "Why do you say that?"

"I bumped into him downstairs this morning. He was still blind. I said to him, 'He's blind and lame. How could he be good enough for you? He's just dreaming of being my brother-in-law.' But tonight he showed up and he wasn't blind anymore. Isn't that unbelievable?"

"I think he understood from my words that we disliked him, and he dared not pretend anymore."

Did you stop pretending because of her?

The idea had barely formed in Shen Wancheng's mind when she rejected it.

She and Gu Jinxing had only met a few times, so why would she change his plans? Gu Jinxing was just going with the flow because of today's banquet.

Shen Wancheng came up with a more reasonable reason in her mind, but a strange feeling remained in her heart.
