Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 531 Rebellion Within the Nest 1(1)_1

Shen Cheng didn’t breathe a word about being taken to the police station, shifting all the blame onto Wanqian. As Shen Cheng finished speaking, the company’s executives once again started buzzing with discussion.

Shen Cheng watched Wanqian with a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

"President Shen certainly has a way with words," Wanqian began bitterly, "but it seems President Shen has forgotten that the severe losses our company suffered due to the plummeting stock price were caused by President Shen’s sex scandal involving two women, one of whom was an underage girl. President Shen, you sure didn’t hesitate to harm such flowers of our nation, HEH HEH HEH." Wanqian’s voice was tinged with malice, and she even intentionally amplified it.

Shen Cheng’s complexion turned ashen in an instant. "You’re no better, cavorting with men in hotels. Who knows how many men you’ve been with."

"Shen Cheng, watch your mouth."

"I was being subtle enough. You have the nerve to do it, but not to face it. That illegitimate child in your belly is proof enough. Do I need to provide any more evidence?" The crowd below was abuzz with discussion, while the sound of their argument lowered, audible only to the two of them. Shen Congming felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead as he listened to their quarrel.

"Shen Cheng."

"What, brave enough to do the deed but not to admit it? Why not have that adulterer come out and confront me directly? I’d like to see what that loverboy of yours looks like."

"Shen Cheng, aren’t you going too far? Is that the kind of thing you should be saying?"

"Hmph, why can’t I say it? If I find out who the adulterer is, I’ll make him understand that while some women in this world are shameless and despicable, not just anyone is someone *he* can trifle with. I’ll make him regret doing what he shouldn’t have done." Shen Cheng’s tone was filled with murderous intent as he spoke.

"Shen Cheng, don’t be so shameless. Even if you’ve set your sights on other women and want me to leave, there’s no need to humiliate me like this, again and again. You think by denying this child and fabricating an adulterer, you can deal with me? Let me tell you, as long as I, Wanqian, am alive, don’t even think about it. You want to marry those women? Dream on."

Shen Congming looked at the people below, who were talking in low voices, and heard the two attacking each other. His forehead became even more drenched with sweat, and his heart grew more uneasy. If Shen Cheng discovers the child in Wanqian’s belly is his, Shen Cheng will never let him go, and Wanqian is no saint either.

It wasn’t just him; Shen Jia and Duan Mei would surely be dragged down as well. At this moment, his heart was filled with regret. Why couldn’t he have restrained himself back then?

"Manager Shen, what’s your opinion?"

"Manager Shen, even though you were recommended by President Shen, your excellent performance at work is recognized by all of us. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."

Wanqian’s voice was still the same, but now with a threatening undertone. She directly pointed out that Shen Congming was a relative of Shen Cheng, clearly prompting him to take a stance.

Shen Congming, who had been sitting, stood up, feeling the sharp and piercing gazes of both parties. Sweat started to drip steadily down his forehead.

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone’s eyes turned to Shen Congming. It could be said that Shen Congming was now the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone knew Shen Congming was Shen Cheng’s man, but if Shen Congming opposed Shen Cheng here, Shen Cheng wouldn’t be able to maintain his position as President.

If even his closest confidant didn’t believe in Shen Cheng, how could anyone else?

Shen Cheng, whose gaze had been confident, narrowed his eyes when he saw Shen Congming’s continued silence and the sweat beading on his forehead. He glanced at Wanqian, who stood beside him looking rather smug.

"Manager Shen, although you are my uncle-in-law, business and personal matters are separate, so you’d better tell the truth," Shen Cheng pressured Shen Congming once more with his words.

The atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense. Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded. Before anyone could open it, the door was pushed open from the outside, and two figures entered. "Sorry, I’m late," a crisp voice announced as the two figures walked in. They nodded politely to those inside before taking seats below Wanqian.

The previously tense atmosphere in the conference room was instantly disrupted by Shangguan You’s arrival, especially her easy, nonchalant demeanor. This also allowed Shen Congming to breathe a sigh of relief, spared from having to make a choice.

"Miss Shangguan, we are in the middle of a meeting." The arrival of Shangguan You and Zhong Mingyang shocked not just Shen Cheng but also Wanqian. They were having an internal company meeting; what was she doing here?

"Miss Shangguan, may I know what brings you here? The court hasn’t made a verdict yet, so you temporarily have no right to attend Shen Family’s internal meetings. Please leave for now." Shen Cheng’s eyes narrowed. With all the recent developments with Wanqian, he was exhausted and hadn’t had the time to keep up with the court’s decision. Moreover, his lawyers had managed to delay the proceedings. So what did her appearance here mean now?

Is she trying to flex her power? And currently, without any shares in the Shen Family, what right does she have to be here? Are the company’s security guards all dead? Don’t they know there’s a meeting in progress?

"HEH, whether I have the right to be here, Mr. Shen, you’ll understand once you look at these documents. Then you’ll know if I have the qualification to stand here and attend this meeting." Shangguan You was dressed in a beige business suit today. Although it seemed a bit mature for her age, she felt she had no choice; if she didn’t dress formally, she wouldn’t command the necessary respect.

Hearing Shen Cheng’s words, her tone became even more relaxed. Moreover, she wants to witness this dog-eat-dog drama firsthand; otherwise, it will all lose its meaning. It is a pity she was a bit late, or she wouldn’t have missed the earlier show.

Following Shangguan You’s response, Zhong Mingyang, a tall and slender figure who was her legal representative, stood up. He distributed the well-prepared documents he held, one copy to each person.
