I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

Chapter 5

Qin Zhen returned home from work, but he did not smell the aroma of food. He immediately sneered. Shen Qingyue’s temper was really not small this time. She did not even prepare dinner.

“Butler,” he called out.

The butler quickly came over. “Young Master, what can I do for you?”

“Where is she?” Qin Zhen’s expression was unsightly.

The butler naturally knew who Qin Zhen was referring to. “The Young Madam left yesterday. She said that she had informed you.”

Only then did Qin Zhen recall that when Shen Qingyue mentioned divorce yesterday, she said she would move out immediately. Since he didn’t come home last night, he was unaware of Shen Qingyue’s departure. At that time, he assumed she was joking, just like how he believed her divorce talk was just an angry statement. However, this time, it seemed like Shen Qingyue had truly left, and the divorce was real.

Throughout the past year, every day, Shen Qingyue would prepare meals for him, even though he didn’t come home half of the time. But today, there was no one waiting for him anymore, and perhaps there wouldn’t be in the future. Wasn’t this good? There was no longer anyone to hinder him, but he furrowed his brows, feeling an unfamiliar emotion lingering in his heart, inexplicable and unshakeable.

The next day, Shen Jun arranged a trusted assistant to accompany Shen Qingyue and help her familiarize herself with the work.

As work was about to end, there was a knock on the office door. She looked up and saw a thin and tall man walking in. “Brother Yiyan, why are you here?”

Shen Yiyan smiled hypocritically, “My father told me you started working at the company, so I came to see you. How is it going? Are you getting used to it?”

Shen Qingyue smiled, “Thanks to Assistant Yu Zhuang, it’s been going smoothly.”

“Really?” Shen Yixuan’s eyes were filled with contempt. A love-struck housewife probably could not even understand a project proposal. He casually picked up a folder from the desk and glanced at it, but his smile quickly disappeared from his face. “I was supposed to be in charge of this project. I had already started making contacts. How did it end up with you?”

Shen Qingyue calmly replied, “I discussed it with Grandfather. I plan to take over this project.” In the previous life, the decline of the Shen family started with this project. Moreover, Shen Yiyan’s so-called contacts were merely a way for him to make money. It started with a few hundred thousand, but later became more and more outrageous, ultimately corrupting the entire conglomerate.

Even if Qin Zhen didn’t absorb the Shen family, with Shen Yixuan around, the Shen family would still be corroded. She wanted to start with this rotten worm, Shen Yiyan.

Shen Yiyan’s expression was a little ugly. “You’ve just joined the company. It’s not appropriate to give you such a huge project worth hundreds of millions. Although Uncle is the chairman, it’s indeed not appropriate to do this. Little SSister, this is not something you can play with.”

Shen Qingyue looked up at him. “Why is it unsuitable? Even if I don’t do well, it’s just a loss of a billion. I can handle it myself.”

Shen Yiyan clenched his fists. He could make several million from this cooperation, which would not mean much to Shen Qingyue, but it would for him. He forced a smile, “Are you deliberately going against me?”

A smile played on Shen Qingyue’s lips. “Brother Yiyan, what are you saying? I just happen to be interested in this project and want to give it a try.”

Shen Yiyan scrutinized Shen Qingyue. He had a feeling that something was not right with her. Could she have figured something out? He took a deep breath. Shen Qingyue was just a love-struck fool. What ability did she have to compete with him?

“President Wang and I are old acquaintances regarding this project. It was originally agreed that I would be in charge, and he agreed to sign the contract. Now, changing it at the last minute, he probably won’t agree. Cooperation cannot be decided by Grandpa’s words alone! Little Sister, you’ve just started dealing with these matters, and there are many intricacies involved that you don’t understand.”

Shen Qingyue had a calm and collected appearance from beginning to end, “It’s okay. Just like I said just now, at most, I’ll bear the losses myself.”

Shen Yiyan did not say anything else. President Wang had long been in cahoots with him. If Shen Qingyue wanted to snatch his things, she would not be able to do so!

…

Shen Qingyue spent some time and found out a lot of things about Wang Ping. She was in a pretty good mood after meeting Ping Wang until she saw Qin Zhen at the entrance of the hotel. New n𝙤vel chapters are published on

“President Qin, why aren’t you talking on the phone with your little lover at night?”

During the past few years when Wei Jiu’er was abroad, Qin Zhen would call her almost every night. And every time he called, he would avoid Shen Qingyue. She always thought he was busy with work or that the Shen family had gone bankrupt. She only found out when Wei Jiu’er returned to the country and bragged to her. It was her own blindness to fall in love with such scum.

“Naturally, it’s work.” Qin Zhen responded and then realized, his face turning gloomy. “You actually checked my phone?”

Shen Qingyue sarcastically remarked, “You think too highly of yourself. Did I need to check deliberately? You call her every day, did you think I’m deaf?”
