Seeing Fan Junchen grabbing onto her arm with exasperation, Shen Que fiercely shook off his hand. “This matter has nothing to do with me. If there’s anything, you should go to Yuan Ranran.”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Fan Junchen’s eyes. As expected, this woman still wanted to use this method to attract his attention. “I know about what happened to Ranran. You were the one who found the internet troll service to defame Ranran. The two of you are sisters. No matter what, you shouldn’t have done this!” Fan Junchen rebuked.

“What you said is really funny. What evidence do you have to say that I was the one who did this?” Shen Que asked.

Seeing Shen Que’s disdainful look and remembering Yuan Ranran’s usual gentleness, Fan Junchen naturally chose to believe in Ranran.

“Shen Que, I know you like me, but no matter what, you shouldn’t have used such despicable methods to suppress Ranran. To be with me, you actually did something like this. Don’t you know that it would only make me feel disgusted?”

His narcissism probably surpassed Narcissus himself! From the beginning, not one had Shen Que said that she liked. Moreover, towards this ex-fiancé, Shen Que only felt disgusted. She had never thought of getting close to him. This time, he was the one who had suddenly appeared and blocked her way. She seriously wondered where he got his confidence from. Why did he think that she liked him to the point that she would use such despicable methods?

Shen Que’s face was full of smiles. She did not feel any discomfort because of Fan Junchen’s words. Instead, there was even a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. Looking at Fan Junchen who was in front of her, Shen Que suddenly remembered that she and Yuan Ranran were both celebrities under contracts with his company. If she did not terminate the contract, she would have to be controlled by him.

“Since you’re here, why don’t we talk about terminating the contract?” Shen Que dished out her thoughts of terminating the contract. In a company with both Yuan Ranran and Fan Junchen, she had no way to refute whatever they wanted to do.

Fan Junchen felt that Shen Que was no longer the same person he thought she was. She was so obedient back then, but now she was not as easy to control. For no reason, he felt a sense of panic which made him fiercely refuse, saying, “Don’t even think about it. You signed a contract. If you unlawfully terminate the contract, you’ll have to pay a huge penalty for breaching the contract.”

“You don’t agree? How much is the penalty for breaching the contract?” Shen Que asked again. She did not understand why Fan Junchen still wanted to keep her in his company if he felt so much disdain for her. She could not figure out the logic of this person’s mind. However, she had already made up her mind to terminate the contract. She did not want to continue staying in the same company as Yuan Ranran. Similarly, she did not want to continue being tied down by them and not being able to do anything.

Right now, she was focused on building a career for herself. The first step to doing so was to leave her current company. Otherwise, there was no chance for her to stand out at all.

Hearing Shen Que ask him about the penalty as if she could afford it, Fan Junchen laughed as if he had heard a joke. Could it be that if he said it out loud, Shen Que would be able to get rich and pay the huge penalty for breach of contract? He did not believe that a person from the countryside would have so much money and be able to pay such a huge amount of liquidated damages.

“When we signed the contract back then, you were aware as well that if you wanted to terminate the contract one-sidedly, you would have to compensate the company with 100 million liquidated damages to make up for the company’s losses,” Fan Junchen said. He believed that when Shen Que heard that she would have to pay such an amount as compensation for breach of contract, she would definitely be afraid and would not dare to mention terminating the contract ever again..
