Chapter 584: Chapter 584 Taking Over Shan’s (1)_1

At that time, Shan Xue had an affair with another man outside and accidentally became pregnant. After discovering her pregnancy, she was in a panic and wanted to go to the hospital to have an abortion. However, Old Master Shan found out and stopped her from going through with the procedure. Instead, he came up with a plan for her. He suggested they claim the baby was Liu Bowen’s and promised to take care of any loose ends himself.

Having gotten away with it once, Shan Xue became bolder and ended up in a second affair. The Shan Family always believed they managed these cover-ups discreetly and thoroughly, confident that the Liu Family would never find out.

"It was the Dragon Society’s Young Miss who sent someone with the material. While I was at the Liu Family’s home, some men in black suddenly appeared, saying it was Dragon Society’s Young Miss who had sent them to deliver the material to Elder Liu," Shan Xue answered, sitting up after hearing her father’s question.

"The Dragon Society’s Young Miss? Our Shan Family doesn’t seem to have any dealings with the Dragon Society, nor do we have any grudges with them. Why would the Dragon Society’s Young Miss get involved in this matter?" Old Master Liu was very puzzled. Why would the Dragon Society be involved this time, and specifically, that mysterious Young Miss of theirs?

"I’m not very clear on that, but, dad, what’s the use of worrying about it now? I think we should quickly think of a way to resolve this matter. Elder Liu said that he wants me to leave the family empty-handed, without taking a single penny from the Liu Family." Although Shan Xue had some feelings for Liu Bowen, when compared to money, it was nothing. Now, she knew there was no chance of reconciling with Liu Bowen. She began thinking about how to take more from the divorce settlement.

"This matter requires careful thought. Hmph, the Liu Family shouldn’t think they can kick you out without giving a penny," said Old Master Shan with the same temperament as Shan Xue. He was also avaricious.

However, before Shan Xue and Old Master Shan could come up with any ideas on how to take more from the divorce settlement, the third issue of the Dragon Society newspaper was published.

The news this time was also explosive. The headline was very eye-catching: "The Unspoken Romantic Tales of the Shan Family’s Young Miss, Shan Xue."

The article chronicled Shan Xue’s love life from her youth, detailing every single relationship, starting with her first love, leaving nothing out. It also covered the news about Liu Chengtian and Liu Xinyu not being the biological children of her current husband, Liu Bowen. The newspaper even published two paternity test results.

When this news came out, neither Old Master Shan nor Shan Xue could come up with enough solutions. Shan Xue was destined not to get a penny from the Liu Family.

As the news materialized, the matter also started to reach its end. Situ Xin also felt that it was time to wrap things up.

"Baibai, let’s go. Today, let’s take a stroll to the Shan’s. Oh, no, after today, the Shan’s will no longer be called Shan’s, it’s going to need a new name. Hmm, Baibai, what do you think would be a good name?" Situ Xin said to Baibai as she held it and came out of the room.

Situ Xin’s words were met with an eye roll from Baibai. It had no interest in naming things; it didn’t concern it. It wanted to drink the wine from the space. But because it was caught sneaking drinks by Situ Xin a few days ago, Baibai was now banned from drinking.

Situ Xin, looking at the downcast Baibai, had not an ounce of sympathy. She understood very well that this creature liked to play pitiful to gain sympathy. Situ Xin reached out and lightly tapped on Baibai’s tiger head, saying, "Hmph, Baibai, stop acting pitiful with me. Let me tell you, even if you keep it up, it’s futile. No wine means no wine."

"Master, Baibai knows it was wrong. I won’t sneak drinks anymore. Please, don’t punish Baibai, alright?" Baibai lifted its tiger head and looked at Situ Xin with a pitiful expression.

"Out of the question. Reflect on your actions well," said Situ Xin, unmoved, leaving Baibai feeling so irritated its teeth itched, yet it was utterly helpless.

Situ Xin and Baibai bantered over this meaningless issue all the way. If their conversation hadn’t been conducted through Divine Sense, the people around them would have been thunderstruck by the vacuous dialogue between the woman and the tiger.

The car stopped in front of Shan’s, and as Situ Xin stepped out holding Baibai, a blond, blue-eyed middle-aged hunk greeted them at the entrance. "Oh, Xin, I finally get to see you. It’s not easy to meet with you," he said.

"JIM? Why are you here in person?" Situ Xin was surprised to see JIM. She figured he would have his assistant deliver such a small matter.

"I missed you, my dear Xin," JIM said in his awkward Country H language, which he spoke rather oddly, but it made Situ Xin feel touched because she knew they learned the language of Country H because of her.

"JIM, your Country H language is coming along well," Situ Xin complimented.

That simple praise from Situ Xin made JIM happier than completing a successful transaction. It might have been the first time JIM heard Situ Xin praise him since they met. "Xin, really? Did I do well?"

"Yes, very well," said Situ Xin, not expecting that a simple compliment would make the middle-aged JIM so pleased.

"Then I’ll have to study harder when I get back," JIM said with a charming smile across his handsome face.

"Next time we meet, I’ll give you a proper test," Situ Xin continued in response to JIM’s excitement. "Let’s go in. Once we’ve settled things here, I’ll treat you to Country H’s delicacies."

"Really? I’m really looking forward to it," JIM’s eyes started to sparkle at the mention of food, which Baibai caught and returned with a despising look, thinking to itself, "Glutton."

If Situ Xin knew what Baibai was thinking, she would certainly have told Baibai that it was the actual glutton.

As Situ Xin and JIM’s group entered the Shan’s corporate building, they attracted most of the attention in the lobby downstairs.
