He felt a chill in his heart. When he heard this news, he should have been unable to contain his anger, brimming with despair.

But hearing it, his first reaction was not one of deep sorrow. In fact, it didn’t hurt as much as hearing about Ye Lu’s disappearance. That was his child, had he gone mad? Was he treating Jiayin fairly?

Shang Jingchen, you can’t be like this.

Upon entering the ward, he was greeted by the sound of Yuan Jiayin sobbing uncontrollably. Seeing him, she rushed into his arms, crying.

"Jingchen, our child is gone. That evil woman caused me to lose our child; she’s so cruel. I hate her, she killed our child."

Shang Jingchen seeing her like this, felt even more guilty. He held her tightly, gently soothing her.

"You’re weak now; don’t let your heart ache this much. We will have children in the future."

"But, I can’t forgive her. She pushed me downstairs and killed our child." She lifted her head from his arms, her eyes filled with pitiful tears. "Jingchen, you will divorce her. You will avenge our child, right?"

Shang Jingchen shuddered, but faced with her sorrowful expression, he couldn’t utter words of refusal.

"Yes!"

Yes, how could he ever think of Ye Lu again? She was so cruel that she pushed Jiayin downstairs and killed their child.

He couldn’t be stubborn; he had to get justice for Jiayin.

The city’s business conference was a high-profile meeting. With the city itself being the largest business hub in the country, it attracted many distinguished merchants and celebrities, making it nationally influential.

Hundreds of media reporters stood anxiously outside the venue.

The mysterious Jun Group, several national financial groups, and even several foreign conglomerates would be attending. It would indeed be a grand gathering in the world of business, lit up by many stars.

However, this conference was filled with undercurrents behind the scenes.

The joint appearance of the Gu Clan and Shang Family, two major financial groups, caused an uproar in the business world. Their union was not good news for other enterprises.

The representative sent by the mysterious Jun Group was the lesser-known Third Young Master, Jun Huang, instead of the eldest one, which amazed everyone. Was this the start of the power struggle for the Jun Family’s succession?

A few foreign dignitaries, unfamiliar to the media, were also being watched due to their extraordinary demeanor.

Among them, an elegantly dressed white man leaning against the banquet hall windows attracted the enthusiastic discussion of many female guests.

He quietly held his wine, dressed in a European nobleman’s outfit. His face was refined and aloof. Underneath his eyebrows were a pair of exceptionally stunning icy blue eyes, disinterestedly watching the whole room.

"I heard that he’s a hereditary duke from a large European noble family, Duke Hai Lanse. Truly befitting a blue-blooded noble, his aura is unique. However, he seems aloof and doesn’t allow strangers to approach."

Everyone was avidly discussing, but nobody dared to approach. They all felt that this duke radiated a strange sense of danger.

"What a gathering of handsome men today! And that young man from the high-end North American IT group over there; he’s an Easterner, handsome, and looks very genteel."

The female guests excitedly looked at another overseas conglomerate tycoon, Hua Lunxi. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"I heard he came to this country in search of his cousin. His uncle once came here to pioneer the IT industry and met a woman. Nobody knows what happened afterward, but that woman became pregnant and had a daughter. Now that his uncle has passed away, his only wish was for Lunxi to find his daughter."

"So, the illegitimate daughter instantly becomes the princess of the IT conglomerate. How envious! I wonder who the lucky one is."
