The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Chapter 24 I Know My Brother Treats Me Best

Seeing the two of them whispering intimately, the jealousy in Shen Zhidie's eyes was about to overflow.

But apart from glaring, she didn't dare to do anything else. She could only let Shen Zhuo pull her away and apply medicine on her face.

Under Gu Beihuai's insistence, Shen Qingyan had to agree to keep one of his female secret guards by her side.

After Gu Beihuai left, Shen Qingyan finally faced her brother who had a gloomy face and remained silent from beginning to end.

"Brother, I have something to tell you. Can we talk about it?"

Shen Qingyan's attitude was sincere, and there was a hint of pleading in her watery almond eyes. Even if Shen Yuanmu was cruel, he could not withstand such a look.

But he still said coldly: "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. I don't want to be accused of disrespecting the princess."

Shen Qingyan knew that the intimidation she had just shown to Shen Zhidie had caused him to misunderstand her, but she did not explain. Next, she would express her attitude sincerely.

Ye Yuege arranged a private room for the brother and sister to sit opposite each other in the room.

Shen Qingyan felt a little embarrassed. After all, she owed Shen Yuanmu too much in her previous life. Now, facing him, she only felt endless guilt.

"Brother, I was too willful before and said some ignorant things that made you sad. Now I have thought it through. I want to live a good life with Prince Su and no longer be obsessed with Prince Chen like before."

Shen Yuanmu's expression changed slightly, but his tone was still somewhat cold.

"How many times have you done what you said? Think about it yourself, how many times have you promised before?"

"I swear, this time it's absolutely true, and I can definitely do it." Shen Qingyan raised her right hand and made a swearing gesture, and said with great determination and sincerity, "If I can't do it this time, let me be struck by lightning and suffer misfortune..."

Before he could even say the word "die", Shen Yuanmu interrupted him, "Okay, no need to talk about these empty words."

In fact, he had seen how close she and Gu Beihuai were just now, and he had already believed it about 70% in his heart.

Shen Qingyan was secretly happy, she knew that her brother still cared about her.

"Brother, I was sorry for you before. If I wasn't so stupid, you wouldn't have given up your career and taken over mother's business..."

Shen Yuanmu looked away. Although his expression was still stern, his tone was much softer. "You think too much. I'm not interested in a career in politics. It just so happens that my mother's business has no one to take care of it. It's just a matter of course."

"Also, don't say you're stupid. I'm your brother. If you're stupid, where would you put me?"

Shen Qingyan's eyes lit up, and she took his arm and said with a smile: "Brother, do you admit that you are my brother? Are you not angry with me anymore?"

Shen Yuanmu snorted coldly and tried to shake off her hand, but when he saw that it was held tightly, he gave up.

"If you stop being so willful, I, as your brother, won't have to worry about you anymore."

"Don't worry, brother. I won't do that again!" Shen Qingyan promised while acting like a spoiled child. "I know that brother treats me best, so I decided to shoulder the heavy responsibility with you in the future. We will take back all of our mother's property and manage it together..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuanmu's expression changed.

"Why, do you want to take over your mother's business to pave the way for Gu Chen'an?"

It's no wonder Shen Yuanmu thought so, because Shen Qingyan did mention it before...

"No." Shen Qingyan quickly explained, "I said I would not be tempted by Gu Chenan again. Of course it was not for him. I really just wanted to help my brother share some of the burden so that he would not be so tired."

Shen Yuanmu looked at her steadily, as if trying to determine how much truth or falsehood her words were.

After a long while, he slowly said, "If you really want to help me, then start from Fengyue Tower."

"Ah?" Shen Qingyan was a little surprised. She knew that Fengyue Tower was not an ordinary place of entertainment. Would it be too hasty to hand it over to her?

"Brother, Fengyue Tower has always been managed by you. I don't know anything. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if I take it over rashly."

Shen Yuanmu explained calmly: "Because I'm in charge of it, I'm handing it over to you. Most of the affairs in the building are handled in an orderly manner every day, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Also, when mother was alive, she wanted to give Fengyue Tower to you. It was you who failed her."

Speaking of her mother, Shen Qingyan felt even more guilty, her nose felt sore, and her eyes slowly turned red.

Shen Yuanmu opened his mouth to say something critical, but he saw the tip of the nose of the woman in front of him was red and tears were welling up in her eyes. He swallowed back what he wanted to say and softened his tone.

"Okay, stop looking so pitiful. If Mother in heaven saw this, she would think I was bullying you."

Shen Qingyan burst into laughter and whispered, "No, I bullied you. Mother will definitely criticize me."

"How could mother bear to criticize you? She has always loved you the most."

Now, the tears that Shen Qingyan had held back with great difficulty were about to burst out again.

Shen Yuanmu was so frightened that he quickly tried to comfort her patiently, having already forgotten about his previous grudge.

Before they knew it, the brother and sister had been talking for another hour. Their relationship had become much closer, and many of their previous misunderstandings had been cleared up.

Outside the door, Ye Yuege frowned as he listened to the laughter coming from the room from time to time.

She had heard of Shen Qingyan's reputation. Could it be that she came here this time to coax the boss to give Fengyue Tower to her?

The boss didn't mention it on the surface, but he actually loved his younger sister very much. If Fengyue Tower was handed over to this willful and stupid sister, all previous efforts would likely be ruined.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuege couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to push the door.

Unexpectedly, a pair of slender white hands stopped her.

"stop."

Ye Yuege looked up and saw that it was the female secret guard.

The female secret guard's name is Jinshu. Although she is a female secret guard, she is quite powerful and her eyes are as cold as ink.

"The master is speaking, you can't go in."

Ye Yuege was angry, but Jinshu was Gu Beihuai's person after all, so she was somewhat afraid of him.

"Get out of the way. I have something important to report to our boss."

"That's your business." Jin Shu refused to give in and said coldly, "I won't let you in until the princess comes out."

Ye Yuege's face darkened, and just as he was about to force his way in, the door was opened from the inside.

Shen Qingyan smiled, looking at their tense atmosphere, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yuanmu also walked out, and Ye Yuege immediately went to greet him anxiously.

"My boss..."

Shen Yuanmu seemed to have anticipated what she would say and spoke first.

"From now on, I am no longer the owner of Fengyue Tower. All power will be handed over to Qingyan. Yuege, you stay here and assist her in managing the affairs of Fengyue Tower."

Ye Yuege was anxious, "Boss, this is not right!"

Shen Yuanmu frowned slightly, a little unhappy, "Why is it inappropriate?"

Ye Yuege glanced at Shen Qingyan, as if he had made up his mind, and said loudly: "Boss, not to mention that she has never been involved in business, even if she can take over, the strength that Fengyue Tower has worked so hard to build up will most likely be wasted..."

It was almost as if he was saying openly that Shen Qingyan would bring Fengyue Tower down.
