There was no expression on Sheng Mian's face. After walking over, he took the painting on the table and spoke calmly.
"A gift from Mr. Cao?"
Cao Sheng's eyebrows flashed with pride. His company was bigger than Shengjia's. Shengjia had just completed its second round of financing. He had never thought of cooperating with Shengjia before.
Cao Sheng didn't know about the marriage between the Sheng family and the Fu family for the time being. Only a few companies that had close ties with the Fu family knew about it.
And because Cao Sheng was arrogant, he never contacted his so-called old classmates.
Now that there was a lot of pressure from the police, he used his connections in the police station to check on Sheng Mian's father, intending to use this as a threat.
Unexpectedly, her father was a classmate with him, so this matter would be much easier to handle.
The Sheng family made its fortune by selling paint. Back then, the Sheng family started working as a street stall, and Cao Sheng's side was a decoration company. The two companies could work together perfectly.
In order to show his sincerity, he brought an ancient painting with him and said that he had a misunderstanding with Sheng Mian at work.
Sheng Zhong knew that Sheng Mian was working as an interior designer, so he thought it was just a minor misunderstanding at work, so he accepted the ancient painting with a smile.
"I sent it to you. It's the first time you come to see an old classmate. You have to show your sincerity. Penny, we have been working together for three years after all. I did have a misunderstanding about what happened before. Because I have a good relationship with your father.
For our sake, why don’t we just laugh and forget our grudges.”
Sheng Mian looked at this painting and was not stupid. He knew that Cao Sheng wanted to use 30 million to settle the incident last time.
Sheng Mian had already blocked him, but she didn't expect Cao Sheng to be able to jump around, and he did find an opportunity to jump around.
Before she could speak, Sheng Zhong had already asked Su Lan to deliver tea to Cao Sheng.
"Mianmian, Mr. Cao is right. You have been working together for three years. You know each other well. If there is any misunderstanding, we can't talk about it. Let's have a cup of tea together. After tonight, don't worry about it anymore."
Sheng Zhong wanted to pull Sheng Mian to sit down, but Sheng Mian didn't accept the offer.
"Dad, do you know the specific misunderstanding between Mr. Cao and I? Just ask me to forgive him. For 30 million, if someone asks you to sell your daughter, will you do the same?"
The long-standing resentment suddenly broke out, and Sheng Mian's words were already a bit serious.
Anyway, wasn't Sheng Zhong's previous marriage to the Fu family just a disguised selling of his daughter?
Sheng Zhong's face suddenly darkened. In addition, when he met his old classmate for the first time, he was disobeyed by his own daughter, which made him lose face.
A man's reputation is as high as the sky, let alone a business man.
Sheng Zhong immediately became angry and slapped him with his hand.
Sheng Mian grabbed his wrist and prevented the slap from falling on her face.
"Dad, I have always thought about your body and always thought that you would take care of my feelings. But Cao Sheng violated the contract with me last time. After I found another company to cooperate with, he became angry and sent several kidnappers.
He defiled me. If someone hadn't arrived in time to save me, do you think you would still be able to see me now? After all this, you still want me to forgive him just because of a 30 million painting?"
When Sheng Mian said this, her eyes were red.
But she looked at Sheng Zhong calmly and slowly put down his hand.
"Dad, the doctor said, you can't get excited. I thought I came here tonight to really meet my mother's friends. It turned out to be because of this. Don't say anything like Cao Sheng and my mother are also old classmates.
, if my mother has a soul in heaven and knows what happened to me, she would only wish she could fake her body in person to vent my anger. No relationship is of any use to her. If she is here, no one can hurt her under her nose.
daughter."
She took a deep breath and put down the ancient painting in her hand.
"I don't have anything to say. You haven't disappointed me once or twice. I have work tomorrow, so I won't bother you."
Just as Sheng Mian was about to leave, Su Lan, who was still pouring tea, spoke.
"Why are you talking to your dad? Since Mr. Cao is standing here, it means that the matter will not succeed. Isn't there still room for negotiation?"
Sheng Mian sneered, said nothing, and strode away directly.
Su Lan rolled her eyes and placed a cup of tea in Sheng Zhong's hand.
Sheng Zhong had a dark face and waved away the cup of tea.
"So in your mind, what happened to my daughter is just a small matter?"
Sheng Zhong looked coldly, took the calligraphy and painting on the table, and threw it into Cao Sheng's face.
If he had known there was such a misunderstanding, he would not have let Cao Sheng in.
"roll!"
"Old classmate, you..."
"roll!"
Cao Sheng's expression changed and he couldn't stay any longer.
As soon as he left, Sheng Zhong sat down shaking with anger.
Su Lan was also a little uneasy. She had been too complacent just now. When she saw Sheng Mian and Sheng Zhong arguing, she subconsciously wanted to add fuel to the fire, but she forgot that Sheng Zhong still had the status of his daughter in his heart.
Now my attempt to add fuel to the fire has become superfluous. I'm afraid that after this incident, Sheng Zhong will feel that he owes Sheng Mian.
