Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Shen Family Predicament (2nd Update)

Upon seeing the man, Shen Nan frowned slightly, “Shen Jun, you’ve only been in M Country for two years, and since there’s no one else here, just speak Chinese!”

Shen Jun smiled arrogantly, “To me, English is the most wonderful language in the world! I’ve decided that from now on, I won’t speak Chinese anymore!”

Such words were simply nauseating!

At that moment, Shen Jun also noticed Xue An standing to the side, first he was startled, then his expression darkened.

“NanNan, who is this?”

“This is a friend I met yesterday, and we just happened to run into each other on the plane today! They also came to Hollywood for a visit, so I invited them to our house as guests,” Shen Nan said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun looked at Xue An and snickered coldly, “Friend? Just happened to meet? NanNan, there are plenty of people with ulterior motives in this world. You are still young, be careful not to be deceived!”

He spoke these words in Chinese, with an extremely unfriendly tone.

Shen Nan’s face immediately turned ugly, and she retorted angrily, “Shen Jun, you are just a distant cousin of mine, what right do you have to meddle in my affairs?”

Shen Nan’s words caused Shen Jun’s face to fluctuate, and eventually, he could only offer an embarrassed smile and said, “I’m just afraid you’ll be deceived!”

“There’s no need, and it’s not your place to pass judgment on my friends!”

Shen Nan huffed and then turned her head to nod apologetically at Xue An and An Yan.

“Sorry about this, he’s a distant cousin of mine and doesn’t know how to speak properly. I truly apologize!”

Xue An merely smiled in response.

To him, someone of Shen Jun’s caliber wasn’t even worth a glance.

It’s like when you are walking down the street and a dog barks at you a couple of times! The normal reaction is to walk away, not to bark back incessantly!

When it was time to leave, Shen Nan glared fiercely at Shen Jun, then personally drove off first with Xue An’s family.

Shen Jun was left standing there with a face ashen with rage, his eyes flickering with malevolent light.

The Shen Family lived in the wealthy district of Hollywood, in a very grand villa.

When Shen Nan led Xue An and the others into the house, they happened to cross paths with a few people from M Country.

And then these people from M Country hurriedly left.

Upon entering the living room,

Shen Nan’s father, Shen Kang, was sitting on the sofa with a worried face.

When he saw his precious daughter walk in, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.

“NanNan is here!”

“Dad, look, these are my new friends! Brother Xue An and Sister An Yan!” Shen Nan introduced them happily.

Shen Kang, upon hearing this, nodded slightly at Xue An, “Nice to meet you both!”

Then he turned to Shen Nan and asked, “NanNan, how have you been lately?”

Shen Nan replied with a smile, “Pretty good! Dad, what were those people from M Country here for?”

Xue An noticed the middle-aged man who was starting to go bald, his eyes constantly filled with a hint of depression, as if he was troubled by something.

Hearing Shen Nan’s question, Shen Kang shook his head, “It’s nothing! Where is your cousin?”

Shen Nan snorted, “That Shen Jun is so infuriating, suspecting my friends are bad people. I left him at the airport!”

Shen Kang laughed, “Still acting like a child!”

While they were talking, Shen Jun walked in from outside.

He looked normal, showing no sign of anything amiss.

“NanNan, you take your friends to the adjoining parlor to sit! I have something to discuss with your cousin,” Shen Kang said.

“Okay!”

Shen Nan really disliked her cousin and couldn’t wait to leave.

“Let’s go to the next room for some desserts! Our pastry chef is from France!” Shen Nan said cheerily.

By the time they had moved to the adjacent drawing room, An Yan and Shen Nan started talking about topics girls usually like, hitting it off quite well.

Xue An slowly sipped his tea, casually overhearing the conversation between Shen Kang and another in the living room.

“How’s it going?” Shen Kang asked with a grave tone.

“I’ve asked several companies, but no one’s willing to take over. Those guys seem to be aware of the situation and are all saying that if the dispute isn’t settled, then they wouldn’t dare to take on the project!” Shen Jun said.

Shen Kang heaved a long sigh and it was quite a while before he spoke again, “A company from M Country just approached me, but the price they quoted is practically robbery; I can’t let the company I worked so hard to build get destroyed like this!”

At this point, Shen Jun lowered his voice and said, “Uncle, there’s a company from Country R that is very interested, what do you think…?”

“Country R?”

“Yes!”

Shen Kang was silent again for a long time before he finally said dejectedly, “Let’s try it! Although I really hate the idea of selling to the devils from Country R, we can’t let this situation trap us to death!”

“Alright!”

Hearing this, Xue An roughly understood the situation.

It seemed that the Shen Family was facing a severe problem, to the extent of having to sell the company. The potential buyers knew the deal was troublesome, which was why they were intentionally suppressing the price.

However, Xue An could tell from the tone of Shen Jun’s voice that he was hardly concerned, probably up to no good.

As Xue An had expected.

Shen Jun, upon hearing his uncle agree to meet with the people from Country R, couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, yet managed to remain composed.

“Okay, I’ll contact them right now to see if we can meet as soon as possible!”

Shen Jun had come from their home country to seek refuge with Shen Kang a couple of years ago, when he was destitute and his relationship with Shen Kang’s relatives was actually quite distant.

But Shen Kang, being a person who cherished old ties, kindly took him in!

Who would have thought that Shen Jun had ulterior motives?

Especially since Shen Kang had no sons, only a daughter, Shen Nan.

So Shen Jun was always scheming to get Shen Nan, and through her, take over everything belonging to the Shen Family.

Unfortunately for him, Shen Nan had no interest in her good-for-nothing cousin, not in the slightest.

As time went on, Shen Jun couldn’t help but become annoyed, completely forgetting who had taken him in when he had run out of options.

Recently, Shen Kang had offended a big shot in M Country, and now the company was in a dire predicament.

Seeing an opportunity, Shen Jun deliberately contacted a company from Country R and had even negotiated with them beforehand, planning to conspire both from within and without to cheat Shen Kang.

Now that his goal was within reach, he naturally felt elated.

Shen Nan! Heh, I’ll see how you act so arrogantly in front of me when your family goes bankrupt!

Shen Jun thought triumphantly.

Of course, Shen Nan had no idea about any of this; she was happily discussing computer games with An Yan.

It turns out Shen Nan also liked horror games quite a bit.

In this respect, the two women had found something in common.

Watching them chat so amiably, Xue An smiled slightly, then looked down at Xue Xiang and Nian Nian, who had managed to get their faces covered in cake like little tigers.

“Is it tasty?” Xue An asked with a smile.

Xue Xiang nodded vigorously, “It’s really good!”

Nian Nian was too busy to answer, her mouth stuffed full of sweets, looking like a little hamster.

Watching this, Xue An couldn’t help but chuckle.

Well then, consider these desserts as payment for hosting Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian!

This time, I’ll lend you a hand!
