After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 151 Fine tea! But too lazy to appreciate it...

The top floor of the building at No. 90 Xinye Street.

Shen Chaohuai took off his gloves and gently exhaled a breath of white air.

The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was shrouded in thick fog, and the deep winter scene was nothing but gray and white.

As instructed by the investment team, the original plan for this season was to allow three people to invest, and he and Su Qi would invest together, so there were more than enough slots available.

The donation box was placed on the top floor, and Shen Chaohuai signed the check and threw it in.

However, before the note could be thrown in, the hand, adorned with an expensive ring, preemptively tossed the check into the box.

His note then fell to the ground.

"What a coincidence! Young Master Shen is going to participate in a variety show and make investments at the same time. You get all the benefits."

A clear male voice rang out, and Shen Chaohuai looked at him disdainfully: "Young Master Zheng, now that your businesses are so diverse, you're not in a hurry to invest in this kind of variety show, are you?"

Zheng Ran lowered his head, gracefully took his hands out of his pockets, and casually picked up the check for him.

"And what about Young Master Shen? If you weren't eyeing a business opportunity, why would you come to a place like this?"

"Aren't you afraid that if there's only one donation box, it's a scam?"

Shen Chaohuai's eyes darkened: "What are you pretending for? You know best that I also invested in this variety show last time."

Zheng Ran chuckled and, seeing that Shen Chaohuai was about to throw the check in, quickly stopped him.

"What do you mean?"

"In short, I can't let you have the best of both worlds." Zheng Ran said solemnly, gripping Shen Chaohuai's wrist tightly.

The sound of people going upstairs came from the stairwell, the sound of women's heels coming from behind and getting closer. Suddenly, the two stopped arguing.

Su Qi arrived at the investment site as agreed, only to witness this scene upon going upstairs, where Zheng Ran and Shen Chaohuai were locked in a stalemate.

Zheng Ran's eyes darted around, and before Shen Chaohuai could react, Zheng Ran released his hand and quickly placed it on his own arm.

Zheng Ran deliberately said, "Young Master Shen, you've hurt me. I was just an early investor, why are you so upset with me? I really feel sorry for Xiao Qi, being deceived by a hypocrite like you."

Shen Chaohuai was speechless: "You..."

He shook off Zheng Ran.

Su Qi blinked, unsure of what was going on.

Zheng Ran quickly stepped forward and grabbed Su Qi: "Xiao Qi, look at Shen Chaohuai, how could he do this? He used unfair means to suppress his competitors. If it were me, I would have competed fairly long ago."

Shen Chaohuai gritted his teeth. Who was using improper means?

She awkwardly wiped Zheng Ran's hand away: "Please have some self-respect."

Zheng Ran deliberately brought up the sore spot in front of Shen Chaohuai: "I was very happy when you came to see me that night. Next time you have the chance, Xiao Qi, remember to come and play, okay?"

Shen Chaohuai snorted coldly, his expression clearly distorted, wishing he could skin Zheng Ran alive on the spot.

Su Qi slowly lit a cigarette, the flame rising above his clearly defined jawline.

"Does Young Master Zheng want me to visit you more often?"

Shen Chaohuai raised his eyes, wanting to see how Su Qi would respond.

Zheng Ran lowered his head and smiled, nodding almost imperceptibly.

Su Qi deliberately asked, "Do you want me to come and favor you often?"

The inertia of nodding made Zheng Ran nod without even thinking.

A moment later, Zheng Ran realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Shen Chaohuai looked at Su Qi with a nasty expression: "Are you serious?!"

Su Qi clapped her hands: "What are you so excited about?"

He clenched his fists. What else could he do? If he swore, he would lose. He could only curse his rival in his heart.

The next second, he walked towards Su Qi with a smile. "Isn't it just pretending to be a green tea bitch? Anyone can do that!"

Shen Chaohuai looked at Su Qi with a wronged expression: "Xiao Qi, I didn't mean to have a conflict with him. He invested first and then pushed me away."

"If it were me, I would never resort to such despicable competitive tactics."

"There are three investment slots available, so it doesn't matter who goes first or last, right?"

"What Young Master Zheng did was quite discordant."

"Besides, you're engaged to the Shen family."

"I would be extremely kind to my sister who is in prison on the surface, but I would be dissatisfied with her brother in private. I can't do such a double standard."

Su Qi finally understood that the two were arguing in front of her. She smiled and looked at Shen Chaohuai: "What does his marriage agreement with the Shen family have to do with you? Everyone in Hong Kong knows that you have unilaterally announced the dissolution of the kinship."

Shen Chaohuai stood there, stunned: "I..."

His expression was slightly puzzled, and he gestured with his eyes to indicate who Su Qi was helping.

Meanwhile, Zheng Ran sent a message to his assistant while the two were talking.

Shen Chaohuai was alert for a moment before realizing that Zheng Ran was diverting their attention.

"Zheng Ran!"

Zheng Ran looked up: "Hmm?"

Continuing to play the victim, Su Qi coldly stared at Zheng Ran, completely ignoring him: "A good dog doesn't block the way; I still need to make money."

Zheng Ran was pushed away by her. She was about to put the investment fund into the donation box when the donation box's slot closed the next second.

She patted the donation box, but Zheng Ran said unhurriedly, "Don't pat it, be careful not to break it or lose the money, the organizers will make you pay for it."

Su Qi turned her head and glared at Zheng Ran: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so unreasonable, we wouldn't have missed the investment."

Zheng Ran shrugged smugly. Shen Chaohuai, unable to invest either, called his assistant.

"Help me connect to the office of the organizer of the dating reality show."

The phone was suddenly answered: "I'm sorry, our husband is not here. We will contact you later."

After the line was busy for more than ten minutes, Su Qi's phone popped up a notification.

"The dating reality show 'We May Be' has stopped accepting investments for its third season. The current number of investors is 1."

Su Qi looked at Zheng Ran warily, but Zheng Ran acted as if nothing was wrong: "Stop looking. This time, the organizers of the dating reality show only allow one side to invest. What, didn't you guys get the news?"

Shen Chaohuai clenched his fist and quickly swung it forward, aiming at Zheng Ran's mouth.

Zheng Ran fell to the ground, pitifully covering his mouth: "Look, Young Master Shen is such a violent person. Xiao Qi, you must be careful."

"Although I don't know if your relationship is real, I still have to remind you that Shen Chaohuai is not a good man."

Zheng Ran sighed, got up, dusted off his clothes, and elegantly pressed the elevator button to go downstairs and leave.

Shen Chaohuai was pointing fingers at Zheng Ran behind his back. Everyone knew that Zheng Ran was the one who sabotaged their investment. What a scheming woman! Only Su Qi falls for that.

However, that wasn't the main point she was thinking about.

Su Qi put his hands on his hips: "It's over, my get-rich-quick dream is over."

She stared at the ceiling, tears welling up in her eyes, then squatted down, almost begging God for mercy.

【Master, this is terrible, our money-saving progress has slowed down again.】

Shen Chaohuai sighed unconsciously and squatted down to try to comfort Su Qi, but his hand froze in mid-air before he put it back down.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Su Qi looked at him.

Is terminating the adoption relationship important?

Her brow furrowed slightly. Indeed, was this matter that important?

She lowered her head in thought: "I don't want to carry the name of the Shen family's adopted daughter for the rest of my life."

She loathed the Shen family and all forms of manipulation stemming from various relationships.

"Because I bear the debt of gratitude for being raised, am I obligated to selflessly dedicate myself to the Shen family?"

"I don't like it, I just want to be myself."

Shen Yu's appearance completely awakened her, not only because of the dispute over property or morality, but more importantly, because this matter was part of the journey towards freedom.

He gazed at her with a determined expression, reached out and gently stroked her back, letting her lean softly against his shoulder.
