Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 534 Rebellion Within the Nest 2_1

This was a blatant threat, a naked coercion against Shen Cheng.

From the initial heartache and sky-high fury, Shen Cheng had gradually calmed down. His icy gaze swept over Wanqian and Shen Congming incessantly, his mind filled with incessant pondering—what exactly had Wanqian used to move his uncle, to make him betray him?

His uncle, no one knew him better than Shen Cheng, which was why he had entrusted him with the company’s financial authority. However, an ordinarily inconspicuous person had surprisingly stabbed him in the back, forcing Shen Cheng to take him seriously.

Shen Cheng’s gaze drifted over Wanqian’s stomach. A thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it. That woman Wanqian has such high standards; she couldn’t possibly be interested in Shen Congming.

"Regarding this issue, I’d like to share my thoughts," Shen Cheng quickly regained his composure and spoke again. "The Shen Family business is the lifeblood of Elder Shen. Elder Shen handed it over to Wanyou, and because of what happened to Wanyou, he felt he owed me and thus passed it on to me once more. Whether it be for Elder Shen or Wanyou, I have the right and the qualifications to manage the Shen Family business properly."

"Now that such an incident has occurred, affecting the company’s interests, I truly am sorry, and I feel that I have let down Elder Shen and Wanyou. But given the company’s current predicament, I cannot simply walk away. To honor Wanyou and Elder Shen posthumously, no matter what, I must ensure that the Shen Family makes a comeback. I’ll definitely help the Shen Family overcome this crisis. A crisis is only temporary, and as long as everyone works together, the Shen Family will surely get through this difficult time..."

Listening to Shen Cheng invoking the sentiment of family, Shangguan You’s heart could only sneer. In this world, there were none more shameless than Shen Cheng. To let down Elder Shen...

"The company has now reached a dead end. If the company is handed over to you again, the entire Shen Family might as well be ruined. Personally, I think Mr. Shen would be better off resting at home for a while," Wanqian spoke lightly, her gaze sweeping over those around her, prompting the previously silent crowd to voice their opinions.

"The company’s current situation is all Mr. Shen’s fault. I agree with Miss Wanqian’s assessment. Miss Wanqian’s team’s capabilities are well-known. I personally believe Miss Wanqian should take over the company."

"Indeed, Mr. Shen’s dereliction of duty and poor management have led to the company paying out hundreds of millions in compensation and even losing a thirty percent stake in the company. Coupled with Mr. Shen’s tabloid news, I also think Miss Wanqian should take over the company."

"Exactly. After all, Miss Wanqian is the legal heir of the Shen Family, much better than someone who married into the family. If it’s not their own enterprise, naturally they won’t handle it with care."

"That’s right, we agree with Miss Wanqian leading us out of this predicament."

Hearing the people below, one after another sneering about him ’marrying into the family,’ even Shen Cheng, who usually maintained a good temper, couldn’t take it anymore. His anger was on the verge of erupting.

Even though he had married Wanyou, he wasn’t exactly someone who had married into the family, but in managing the Shen Family enterprise, in the eyes of others, he was seen as riding on his wife’s coattails. In the past, people feared Shen Cheng. But now that he and Wanqian had fallen out, and given that the words they were saying were hinted at by Wanqian, they would speak whatever was most hurtful and most embarrassing.

Shen Cheng’s face alternated between pale and flushed. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to begin. He had entered the Shen Family because of Wanyou. After Wanyou’s death, he had infuriated Elder Shen to death and thus acquired his position. Before, Wanqian had been wholeheartedly supportive of him, naturally helping him clear all obstacles, but now they had become mortal enemies, obviously not making things easy for him.

Shen Congming, after his initial barrage of targeted remarks at Shen Cheng, simply sat there quietly, continuously wiping sweat from his forehead, pretending not to hear as everyone discussed noisily.

"Manager Shen, what do you think about this matter?" Wanqian looked at Shen Cheng with a triumphant smile, thinking, Shen Cheng, from today onward, I’ll make you lose everything. Let’s see how you can still be arrogant, how you can still show off in front of her, how you can continue to keep women outside.

"I’m just the financial manager of the company. Regarding company matters, I completely follow the arrangements of my superiors." Shen Congming’s response was standard and proper; "following the arrangements of my superiors" signified that he had no opinion on the matter and would comply completely.

Shen Cheng took a deep breath, once again calming his rage. He opened his mouth and revealed his trump card: he was the company’s largest shareholder. Unless he was willing, no one could dismiss him.

"I am a shareholder of the company. I hold fifty percent of the company’s shares. No one can dismiss me."

"Hehe, is that so? Mr. Shen, you’re so confident? Confidence is good, but excessive confidence is idiotic," Wanqian said with a smile, looking at Shen Cheng as if he were a fool. I want him to taste the bitterness of abandonment by all. I want to see Shen Cheng kneeling at my feet, begging for my forgiveness.

Shen Cheng wasn’t even willing to acknowledge his own child; such a man needs a lesson to never forget the pain.

"Shen Wanqian, watch your words," Shen Cheng warned.

"Did I say anything? Hahaha," Wanqian laughed coldly. At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room. "Come in," Wanqian said. The door of the meeting room was pushed open once more, and two lawyers, along with Shen Jia and the hotel staff member from before, entered together.

"Everyone please take a break first. We will continue the meeting in a while," Wanqian announced. With her word, all the executives left their seats and exited the meeting room.

A light smirk appeared on Shangguan You’s lips. Her lawyer and Shen Jia had arrived.

"Ms. Shangguan, Manager Shen, this matter concerns you both, please stay," Wanqian said, arranging matters like the host. Shen Cheng, on the other hand, had been constrained and preempted by Wanqian at every turn from the outset. He had even been notified about this very meeting only at the last minute, which was why Wanqian’s assault caught him so completely off-guard.

Moreover, with the stab in the back from Shen Congming, Shen Cheng felt the sting of utter betrayal. Now, seeing Shen Jia, a bad premonition welled up in Shen Cheng’s heart.
