Ye Lu grunted as she put down the phone, their intention to provoke her only ending up rattling her own nerves.

She breathed out harshly, but her heart was anything but calm.

Thinking back to the coquettish laugh she heard over the phone from Bai Sijia, and those words full of flaunting, her heart was throbbing with pain.

So, Third Young Master Jun and this woman had done it, even dabbling in bondage, S, and M. That was indeed his typical lustful style.

Upon this thought, Ye Lu felt a sudden wave of nausea in her stomach, almost ready to throw up.

She caressed her stomach, considering her unborn child. He would soon have a child with Bai Sijia, so he wouldn’t care about hers at all.

"How disgusting!" She covered her stomach and sat on the chair.

"What happened?" Ye Yuan asked as he walked in, noticing the disgust on her face.

"Nothing much," Ye Lu gave a bitter smile, "How are Shang Corporation’s stocks doing?"

"Due to recent events, the stocks have been falling, there’s plenty of negative news, investors aren’t optimistic. But after all, Shang Corporation is a big corporation, eventually it’ll stabilize after hitting a certain low."

"That’s not too bad then, he has already lost billions in just these couple of days," Ye Lu grumbled. So, Shang Jingchen also had his down days.

Recalling all the times he humiliated her, when he wanted to push her downstairs, threatening her unborn child, she couldn’t forgive that jerk. She had endured a lot for Old Sir Shang. Rather than let Old Sir Shang’s legacy fall into the hands of this jerk and Yuan Jiayin, that annoying woman, she might as well take it over herself.

"I heard he is going to give an interview to the media today."

Ye Lu’s eyes brightened, she turned on the TV, "Shang Jingchen is going for an interview? Hmph, Yuan Jiayin, let’s see how strong the bond between you two lovebirds is."

After waiting for more than an hour, the media who had been waiting outside Shang Corporation were finally allowed in.

...

As soon as Yuan Jiayin arrived at the company, she was met with strange looks from everyone in the lobby. A mix of disbelief and contempt, it hurt her eyes.

She was furious. Usually, these people fawned over her, but now they saw her as a spectacle. Hmph, once she turned the situation around, she would teach them all a lesson.

With sunglasses on and her head down, she hurried up to the thirtieth floor, tracking down Shang Jingchen’s secretary.

However, the secretary looked at her with an odd expression, saying Shang Jingchen was in the middle of a press conference.

Yuan Jiayin’s face turned pale, her heart dropped. He held a press conference this soon? He didn’t even discuss with her on how to face the press. He went ahead with the conference all by himself, what was he trying to say?

Yuan Jiayin was absolutely on edge now, rushing over immediately.

As she entered the conference room, she heard Shang Jingchen’s calm and formulaic voice from the stage.

"Thank you all for the concern, considering we are busy at Shang Corporation recently, my wedding will be postponed!"

"When will it take place?" a reporter quickly asked.

"Not sure yet."

Yuan Jiayin’s head spun, she swayed and almost fell down. Her face turned ashen, rage seething within her. What did Shang Jingchen mean by this? He didn’t consult her, and unilaterally decided to postpone the wedding.

Postponing the wedding, what did that imply? It might be postponed indefinitely, and then the wedding wouldn’t happen at all.

This was the favored move rich families used to ditch women. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

That bastard, was he trying to dump her?

This was exactly what the despicable Ye Lu was after, but she wouldn’t have it her way.

"Hmph, it seems Shang Jingchen isn’t as committed after all. After a scandal, he’s in such a rush to postpone the wedding, what an irresponsible man." Ye Lu sneered disdainfully.

It seemed she wouldn’t need to lift a finger against Yuan Jiayin, her happy days were coming to an end.
