Chapter 238 - How could a woman as beautiful as yourself not have a dance partner? (2)
Shen Weiyin didn’t immediately recognize him . It was only after he introduced himself that she suddenly recalled that this person was Lu Beichuan’s second uncle and had been living abroad for several years .
It wasn’t that no one had invited her to dance, but that her sights were set high . No one could match her skill level in dancing .
Although… she looked over this tall, handsome, and humorous man and stretched her hand out .
“It's my honor . ” Lu Shaoyan courteously kissed the back of her hand . Following the rhythm of the music, they spun around on the dance floor .
“Miss Shen, it’s been so long since I last saw you . You’ve become more and more beautiful . ”
Shen Weiyin slightly smiled . “Mr . Lu, you’ve become more and more handsome too . ”
“The genes of the Lu’s have always been very good . ” Lu Shaoyan looked through the gap in the crowd to see Ye Zhen whispering something to Lu Beichuan . “I thought you and Beichuan would end up as a couple . Who would have thought… Well, people are subject to the whims of fortune . ”
Shen Weiyin remained silent .
“Although I was young when I went abroad, I knew there were three major companies in Haibin . Lu Corporation and Shen Corporation occupied the top two positions . But something seems to have happened to Shen Corporation recently?”

A hint of surprise flashed over Shen Weiyin’ face, but it quickly disappeared without leaving any traces . She smiled and asked, “Mr . Lu, where do you hear this gossip?”
Lu Shaoyan raised his eyebrows . “Really? You haven’t heard about Shen Corporation’s failed investment?”
Some gossip wasn’t baseless . Although they might be exaggerated, there was still some truth to them .
Shen Weiyin had already known about this matter a year ago . Old Master Shen didn’t have a successor, and she knew that her family business wouldn’t be able last long . At its current crumbling and precarious state, it was only a hollow shell with a glamorous facade . The only family that could afford to throw huge capital into Shen Corporation was the Lu’s .
Although the Lu’s and the Shen’s were family friends, it was limited to her grandfather’s generation . In the generations below Old Master Shen and Old Master Lu, there was no such thing as a friendship that experienced life and death together .

The Shen’s wanted the Lu’s to help them by filling in their huge deficiency with funds, but that required an excellent relationship between the two families .
Moreover, Lu Beichuan was the one in control in the Lu’s . Unless they were a family, why would he lend them a helping hand?
Although Lu Shaoyan said those words, Shen Weiyin’s expression remained unchanged . “Is that so? I’m not involved in the family business, so I’m not too clear about that . ”
Lu Shaoyan chuckled . He wasn’t surprised that this woman would pretend to be stupid and unaware .
“Miss Shen, you actually don’t know about this? Well, I advise you to pay more attention to your family business . After all, if the Shen’s go bankrupt, your following days probably won’t be good . ”
Shen Weiyin’s feet were sluggish to react, and the dance steps were messy for a moment . However, it only lasted for a moment before her smooth dancing resumed .
“What’s your purpose in saying this?”
“If the Shen Corporation is bankrupt, so many people will lose their jobs . You know, I’ve always been a kind-hearted person, so I can’t stand to see something like that happening . Moreover… Miss Shen is so beautiful . I wouldn't want you to be swallowed by the wolf’s lair that is the entertainment circle . ”
The smile swiftly dropped off of Shen Weiyin’s face . “If you continue to say such nonsense, you and I have nothing to talk about . ”
“Look, my nephew already has a son and his relationship with his wife is good enough they’re practically stuck at the hips . There’s no gap for you to stick a needle in . Why don’t you look for another target? What do you think of me?”
Intuition told Shen Weiyin that plotting with this person was like discussing with a wicked person to give up his own interest . It was doomed to fail just like asking a tiger for its skin .
