Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

Everything seemed to have a similar taste and a similar formula like before. Will only felt the front of his eyes darken. He had a feeling that today would not be a good day and that the negotiation would not proceed well. Megan, who was sitting at the side, was extremely angry. Perhaps, Will and Bailey had already agreed that she would be their scapegoat. She was unwilling yet helpless. Hence, she had an uncooperative attitude.

Will offered to pay the bill generously and told them to order anything that they wanted. Shen Qianshu ordered without restraint. It did not matter to Tong Hua if he liked it or not—he chose the expensive dishes specifically. Anyway, Will was rich and did not care. Yun An opened a bottle of dated Lafite wine.

Will’s face remained unchanged. This bunch of people looked like locusts. Perhaps, they ate in this style regularly. If he made a fuss, it would seem like he had not seen the world before. Hence, Will was calm.

“Mr. Will, do you want to seek a truce with us?” asked Chen Wanwan.

“Yes.” Will knew that Shen Qianshu had the most authority and looked towards her. “What does Miss Shen think? You can raise any conditions. We will consider them.”

Shen Qianshu poured a cup of wine and toasted Yun An. Yun An himself could not bear to open such an expensive wine. A bottle of red wine worth more than a hundred thousand dollars was more suited to be in a collection. Indeed, it tasted delicious.

Gu Yuanan said, “I have a winery in France. If you like it, you can choose the wine yourself there.”

When he was being Li Chen, it would be a bit too outrageous to seem overly wealthy, considering his birth origins. It would seem too unrealistic and would make others suspicious about whether his money was clean. However, when he was Gu Yuanan, he did not have such reservations anymore. He had a couple of wineries that were being managed by a few of his trusted men. They did not belong to Ghost City. They were his own, private property.

Yun An humphed and did not say a word, savoring the wine instead.

Shen Qianshu said, “Mr. Will, we had already wanted to reconcile with you since a long time ago. We are all well-known figures, and the B Family is a global brand. However, when I wanted to reach a reconciliation, you did not accept our favor. In addition to that, you even defamed me and used substitutes to replace me. Only after hearing that I have found witnesses and that you would definitely lose did you come and find me. So, are you here to reconcile with us?”

Mr. Will was a bit embarrassed, yet he did not withdraw. If they lost the lawsuit, the losses would be too great for them. It was better for them to settle it privately. He did not expect the issue to blow up so much either. He had assumed that it would be a trivial thing.

However, he neglected the man behind Shen Qianshu’s back.

The man behind her back was Ye Ling.

If he was just a mere designer for Haute Couture, it would be easy for Mr. Will to snuff them out.

However, he still had inhibitions towards Ye Ling. Hence, this issue had blown up and was hard to settle now. If any more accidents happened, his losses would be devastating.

Mr. Will said, “I have been kept in the dark from the start and did not know the truth because it really was Megan’s works. She had been in our company for many years as an independent designer, and we trusted her a lot. Miss Shen, we are willing to apologize and compensate. You can raise any conditions you have.”

He had put himself in a very low position.

Tong Hua ate elegantly.

The food in this restaurant was indeed decent.

Top-class!

Shen Qianshu smiled. “First, Megan must apologize openly. Second, you must also apologize for defaming me. Of course, it should be your publicity team. Don’t push the blame onto others. Third, we want the truth regarding the incident involving Li Chen.”

She paused. “I want B Family’s apology. Don’t think that this issue will be settled by letting Megan be the scapegoat.”
