Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 30 I Must Take You Back to Hong Kong Island Today
Shen Guining sat up straight in surprise. "How did you know?"

Qu Yanci admitted, "I saw it at the hospital last time."

I noticed a red rose on her ankle, so I guessed that she liked roses.

Shen Guining suddenly realized.

When chatting with Qu Yanci, Shen Guining did most of the talking while he listened, occasionally offering responses, ensuring the young girl didn't have to do a solo act.

Shen Guining knew that Mr. Qu was a man of few words, and it was already quite remarkable that he had the patience to listen to her say so much.

She ended the call only after the food was delivered.

Unbelievable, we chatted for twenty-two minutes without even realizing it.

Judging from Mr. Qu's attitude, he probably doesn't mind her clinging to him.

As long as Mr. Qu cares about her even a little, even if Zhou Shilin comes to Beijing, he can't do anything to her. No matter how crazy he is, he wouldn't dare to offend Mr. Qu.

After the National Day holiday, everyone seemed to be suffering from Monday blues on the first day back at work, listless and lacking energy.

Shen Guining listened to her colleague's sighs and complaints.

"How come three days have passed in the blink of an eye? Is there a one-click restart button to let me go back to the first day of my vacation?"

"That's what I was saying too, I haven't had enough fun yet."

"The director said that we will have more performances later on, and we may even have to tour other cities."

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

For the lead actors in stage plays, touring to various places to increase their popularity is naturally a good thing, but for the unknown backup dancers, they can only get a little extra pay, but they have to rehearse more every day.

Therefore, some people are happy while others are sad.

After complaining enough, everyone perked up and gradually went into the training room to practice dancing.

Shen Guining had just changed her clothes when a colleague came over to tell her: "Guining, someone downstairs is looking for you. They say they are your friend."

"My friend? Did she say her name?" Shen Guining was puzzled. She didn't know many people in Beijing besides her colleagues. Who would come looking for her?

My colleague recalled, "I think her name is Zhu Sixuan, and she's waiting for you in the underground parking lot."

Shen Guining was surprised. Si Xuan came to Beijing to see her? Why didn't she tell her beforehand?
On second thought, she used to like to do little surprises too.

Shen Guining picked up her phone from the table and went downstairs.

The elevator went directly down to the basement parking garage. She walked out of the stairwell, looked around, but didn't see Zhu Sixuan. Just as she was about to make a phone call, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Cousin, long time no see."

Shen Guining froze slightly, turned around to look at Shen Yue getting out of the car, and instantly realized that she had been tricked.

"You came to Beijing without saying a word. Do you know how frantic we've been looking for you?" Shen Yue walked closer to her step by step.

Shen Guining didn't want to pretend with her anymore. "What do you want with me? Is it because I still have any use to you?"

Shen Yue frowned. In just over a month, her cousin seemed to have changed a lot. She had rarely disobeyed her family since she was a child, but this time she did something so audacious. Not only did she block the whole family, but she also took her necklace and sold it, and then hid in Beijing.

"Shen Guining, don't put it so harshly. You're also a member of the Shen family. My parents raised you. Now that the company is in trouble, what's wrong with you making a sacrifice?"

Shen Guining's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "You make it sound so easy. If that's the case, why don't you go and arrange the marriage yourself, cousin? Aren't you a member of the Shen family? Why are you trying to push me out to gain benefits when things go wrong? What good would I get from that?"

Shen Yue was struck by her sharp tongue for the first time. "The Zhou family is a prestigious family in Hong Kong. What wouldn't you want if you married into the family?"

Shen Guining calmly retorted, "Then why don't you go and get married? Why would you think of me when there's such a good opportunity? Would you be willing to marry a philandering, shameless, and lewd man?"

Shen Yue had no rebuttal, glaring coldly at her, "In short, this whole thing was your doing. If you hadn't angered Young Master Zhou, the company wouldn't have suffered such severe losses. I have to take you back to Hong Kong today." "I won't go back with you." Shen Guining turned to leave.

Shen Yue immediately stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "You have no choice. You are a member of the Shen family, so you must obey."

Shen Guining tried to shake off the maneuver, but during the struggle, two burly men got out of the black van and easily subdued her.

Shen Yue ordered, "Take her away."

"I don't want to!" Shen Guining struggled violently and was about to cry for help when her mouth was tightly covered, and she could only make low "ooh" sounds.

The bodyguard quickly pulled her into the car, his movements swift and efficient.

Just then, a Porsche pulled up, and the person in the driver's seat happened to catch a glimpse of Shen Guining being led into the car.

Soon, the van drove away from the parking lot.

Jin Yuhan stepped on the brake, thought for a moment, then took out her phone from her bag and dialed Su Yuchen's number.

When the call connected, a nonchalant voice came from the other end: "Calling me at this hour, missing me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Yuhan said succinctly, "Tell Mr. Qu that Shen Guining seems to have been forcibly taken away in a black Buick with license plate J·49344."

Consider it a good deed she did.
-
After Shen Guining was forcibly taken into the car, they tied her hands and feet with ropes. The thick ropes, thicker than her fingers, rubbed her skin hard, causing her nerves to go numb with pain.

Shen Yue sat to the side watching, with a victor's posture, "Cousin, you brought this on yourself, don't blame me."

Shen Guining had no room to resist. "What you're doing is illegal!"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, it's not illegal." Shen Yue asked her, "Where do you live? Go back now to get your ID card and passport."

Shen Guining clenched her fists. "I told you I won't go back with you."

When she returned, she was met with a forced marriage.

Shen Yue didn't have the patience to waste time with her, and directly threatened: "If you don't tell me, I'll hand you over to the Second Young Master."

When Zhou Shilin was mentioned, Shen Guining's pupils contracted slightly.

She couldn't fall into that scumbag's hands; she had to find a chance to call Mr. Qu for help, because only Mr. Qu could help her.

“I’ll go back with you, cousin,” Shen Guining said, temporarily relenting. “I live in the Guomao Apartments.”

Shen Yue looked up in shock, "Guomao Apartments? How come you live there?"

The residents of that area are all at the top of the pyramid in Beijing, either rich or powerful. How could Shen Guining possibly have the ability to live there?
"I rented it," she said casually, making up an excuse.

Shen Yue suddenly remembered, "The money you spent, was it the money from selling that emerald necklace?"

Shen Guining didn't know how she knew about her selling necklaces, so she simply admitted, "Yes."

Shen Yue chuckled, "Shen Guining, I underestimated you before. It turns out you're the one who's best at pretending to be innocent."

On the surface, they are sensible and obedient, never fighting or grabbing, but behind the scenes they are full of schemes.

Shen Guining said calmly, "When it comes to appearances, I don't think I can compare to your family."

Shen Yue stared into her eyes. "What do you mean?"
