Chapter 38

When Wen Qing woke up, she found herself in a car.

The car was moving quickly on the wide road.

She had breathed in traces of Chloroform, so she had only barely regained consciousness. Her physical strength had not yet recovered.

She analyzed her surroundings. She did not recognize the car she was in. She was sitting in the back seat, and two men were sitting beside her. They were the two men she had met in the elevator. Shu Rui was also in the car.

Wen Qing wanted to speak. Her lips moved slowly and arduously, but she could not get a single word out.

At this time, Shu Rui, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, saw that Wen Qing had woken up. She turned to look at Wen Qing. “You’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Wen Qing could not speak. She only stared at Shu Rui.

Shu Rui quickly said, “Don’t glare at me. I’ve tried my best to make sure that you won’t suffer along the way. I thought that you’d be unconscious until we get on the plane, but you’re already awake. Considering the side effects of the drug, I’m pretty sure you’ll stay awake for the whole flight.”

Get on the plane?

Where was Shu Rui going to send her?

The only thing Wen Qing could think of was human trafficking. No way! Shu Rui was highly educated. She would not do such an immoral thing.

She could be executed for this!

Shu Rui was surely aware of the law!

“I know what you’re thinking, Wen Qing. I might as well tell you the truth. I made a deal with someone. This person wants you, and I’m responsible for taking you to them. What do I gain from this? Fengyang Enterprise will experience a run of good luck.”

Shu Rui laughed as she spoke, her expression innocent. “I’m already working in Fengyang, and I’m learning to take over the company. I’m not like you, Wen Qing. I don’t dream of muddling along in the entertainment industry. I’m much better than you. Even so, people seem to support you. No one sees my excellence.”

At this point, Shu Rui’s innocent expression changed. “I played a part in the marriage alliance. You were my competition. However, that old man only took a fancy to you. He set you up, and even let you choose who you wanted to marry. He gave you such a great privilege. How is this fair? I’m so angry. Since you’ve chosen, why are you still trying to humiliate me?”

“But, fortunately, Shang Ke doesn’t like you.”

When Wen Qing heard this, she finally understood why Shu Rui disliked her so much.

It made sense. Her mother had been instilling all sorts of twisted thoughts into her, making her hate the Wen family. Later on, Shu Rui felt like she had fallen short. She was not as well-acknowledged as Wen Qing was. Her thoughts became twisted with envy.

When Shang Ke’s grandfather wanted to choose a wife for his grandson, he decided on a marriage of convenience. Many young ladies from various noble families were tempted. The Shang family had many heirs and every one of their grandchildren would have a family. If they could join the Shang family, it would be a huge leap.

The Wen family also participated. In the end, Shang Ke’s grandfather took a fancy to her and even let her choose who she wanted to marry.

She did not expect that Shu Rui would hold a grudge against her because of this.

Shu Rui tossed her hair back. A calmness took over her expression. “I’ve thought about this a lot. Maybe you’re more likable than me. This time, you’ve caught the eye of someone again. They want you. I don’t want to be a broker. After all, I’m a highly educated person.”

“However…”

Shu Rui laughed again, then her expression changed quickly. “However, something happened to Fengyang. If I take advantage of this opportunity to save Fengyang, the Shu family will not only have Fengyang’s shares, but the entirety of Fengyang Enterprise will be mine.”
