Chapter 529: 529, Everyone has a fatal weakness or vulnerability
Shi Xiuren coldly said, “That’s how things are. How you want to handle it, or whether you believe it or not, is up to you. I only regret not telling you everything earlier. But when I gave you the name ‘Shouye’, you should have known that I am relying on you to protect my legacy.”
Shi Shouye slowly put out his cigarette, a look of disbelief flashed through his shocked eyes: “So, dad, you’ve thought of a contingency plan long ago, haven’t you?”
“It’s just a trifling matter, why worry? Every person has their weaknesses. Once you find it, you can solve everything.” Shi Xiuren said slowly, a cold smile blooming on his lips like the blade of a sharp knife. His murky, experienced eyes seemed deep, as if they were hiding a storm within them.
Shi Shouye faltered: “Dad, are you saying…?”
The air was unusually thin while Shi Xiuren pursed his lips, a ruthless and cold gaze enveloped him, “You know what I mean to say, so you should know what to do.”
Shi Shouye was still shocked, after a moment he closed his eyes and then slowly nodded.

After having lunch with Shi Yuhuan, Song Qinghuan returned to the office alone, and was immediately stunned by the sight that greeted her.
My God, when did my desk turn into a sea of flowers? Who sent these? Could it be Shi Yuhuan?
Impossible. There was no mention of flowers during dinner with Shi Yuhuan.
“Qinghuan, such a lot of flowers, are they from your husband!” Yu Yang immediately came over upon seeing Song Qinghuan.
Subsequently, a group of gossipy female colleagues also came over, their faces showing expressions of jealousy and envy.
Song Qinghuan was surrounded by the women, leaving no room for her to move, her breathing almost stifled by the crowd.
“Such beautiful roses, who’s the handsome guy that sent them? He’s so romantic and persistent!” One of the female colleagues on the side was chattering non-stop, the admiration on her face was even clearer.
“You all stop guessing, Qinghuan is already married, it’s her husband who sent them.” Yu Yang said.
“Wow, Qinghuan, your husband is so romantic. Can you introduce us to him some day?” Even though some might still harbour resentment towards Song Qinghuan, others seem to have changed their perspectives on her.
This was because Song Qinghuan’s nature was easy-going and she was quite warm-hearted, willing to help her colleagues proactively.
Some colleagues were getting along with her better than before, and the number was only increasing.
Song Qinghuan held her head in one hand, silently watching Yu Yang, and then the vibrant roses on her desk; she shook her head in confusion and then pulled an wry smile, “It doesn’t seem like my husband sent these. He’s not the romantic type, wouldn’t do something romantic. As for who sent these, I really don’t know who it could be.”
The crowd was startled and stopped their discussion, but only for a few seconds before someone suddenly gasped, “Could it be Bi Yuntao?”
“Huh?”
“I heard Bi Yuntao’s secretary saying today that Bi Yuntao had her order flowers for someone.”
“Wow, is that true?”
“But doesn’t Qinghuan already have a husband? How could Bi Yuntao send flowers?”
“He might not know about it, so that’s why he sent them.”
Everyone had their own opinions, Song Qinghuan was getting a headache, but she honestly didn’t know who sent the flowers.
Was it Bi Yuntao? It seemed unlikely. After all, Bi Yuntao had seen her attending Shi Annuo’s wedding with Shi Yuhuan.
But if it wasn’t Bi Yuhuan, then who could it be?
