Shen Yi picked up the call and asked without waiting for the other party to say anything, “Miss, please come to the factory quickly. If you don’t come soon, Mrs. Yuan will take away all the money in the factory!”

After Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, she realized that the Mrs. Yuan he was talking about was Duan Yan. Duan Yan was actually in the company now?

She didn’t have time to think about it carefully. She comforted the old employee first. “Don’t be anxious. Tell me the whole story slowly.”

Before Shen Yi could explain in detail, Duan Yan snatched the phone away.

She turned her back to Shen Yi and said, “Yuan Shu, tell Shen Yi to hand over the company’s money. This is clearly our family’s money. Why is he refusing to give it to us? Could it be that he wants to monopolize this money after dealing with the accounts for a few years?!”

“You… you’re slandering me! How unreasonable!” Shen Yi was so angry that his flesh was trembling. After he spread his legs, he barely stabilized himself. He stammered as he pointed at Duan Yan.

Duan Yan ignored him and rolled her eyes at him. She even spat at him.

Only then did she turn around and continue, “Yuan Shu, you know that your father’s company is in trouble now. As his daughter, you should help him. You’ve been married into the Shi family for so long, but you actually didn’t give the family a single cent. What kind of daughter are you?!”

Yuan Shu didn’t want to listen to this woman’s unreasonable words, so she hung up the phone and said to the chauffeur, “Go to Yushu Buyi, drive as fast as you can.”

The chauffeur had never seen Yuan Shu so solemn and angry before, so he didn’t dare to delay and stepped on the accelerator.

When Yuan Shu arrived at the company, the scene was very chaotic.

Duan Yan was trying to snatch the company’s official seal while Shen Yi used his body to shield it. He hugged the official seal and used his back to block Duan Yan.

Duan Yan kept scolding, “Damn fatty, give me the seal!” As she hammered Shen Yi, she felt that it wasn’t enough, so she used her slender nails to pinch the fat on Shen Yi’s back.

Yuan Shu looked around the office, which was a dilapidated room that looked like it had been around for a long time. There were some old items in the office, and there was even a tripod for towels and water basins.

These kinds of things also existed in Yuan Shu’s era, but Yuan Shu’s family was more particular. The shelf was made of top-notch pear blossom wood, and the basin was also a copper basin with exquisite carvings. The shelf in this office was made of rusty iron and the basin was made from ordinary porcelain.

As it was a fabric factory, the office would place some materials for Shen Yi to evaluate.

After Yuan Shu picked up a two-meter-long piece of fabric and twisted it into a long rope, she threw the fabric into the basin on the shelf beside the office.

The water immediately soaked the fabric and increased the weight of the fabric. When it was waved, it was much more powerful.

Yuan Shu was best at using a whip. Now that the cloth was wet, it became a whip in her hand.

She waved her hand forcefully and hit the area between Shen Yi and Duan Yan, stopping Duan Yan from pinching Shen Yi’s hand again. The water from the cloth splashed on the two of them.

Duan Yan let out a cry and hurriedly retracted her hand to wipe the water droplets on her face, for fear that the water would ruin her makeup.

“Who the hell dared to spill water on me?!” After Duan Yan wiped the water off her face and looked up at the door angrily, she saw Yuan Shu holding a two-meter-long wet rope in one hand and standing straight at the door.

Her gaze was sharp, and there was a solemn look on her face. When their eyes met, Duan Yan shuddered and didn’t dare to act rashly.

Shen Yi took advantage of Duan Yan’s momentary distraction and hurriedly ran around the desk to Yuan Shu’s side. He was still holding the official seal in his arms.

“… Miss.” He was a little out of breath and stammered as he greeted Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, indicating for him to calm down before speaking.

This was the first time Shen Yi had seen Yuan Shu after she became an adult. The last time he saw her was when she was six years old. Her mother was still alive at that time. Unexpectedly, it had been so many years since they last met. He had heard many rumors about Yuan Shu in the outside world. Rumor had it that she was spoiled, willful, and unreasonable, so he had always been worried that this child wouldn’t be able to carry out her mother’s legacy.

But now, when Shen Yi saw Yuan Shu like this, he actually felt relieved. Someone with such a gaze couldn’t be a foolish heiress..
