Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 536 Watching you cry with a smile (2)_1
Wanqian looked at Shen Cheng and took a few steps back, fearing he would charge at her recklessly. If that happened, the child inside her might be in danger. "Why won’t you acknowledge the child in my belly? If you had, none of this would have happened today. Even if we gave away shares, our combined holdings would still be fifty percent, and we’d still be the company’s largest shareholder."
"Shut your mouth! Don’t try to pin your bastard child on me. I, Shen Cheng, will not raise someone else’s bastard for nothing!" Shen Cheng shouted, cutting Wanqian off.
"Shen Cheng, is it really so hard for you to acknowledge this child? It’s our child! Why are you so cruel? You were this cruel to my sister back then, and now you’re treating me with the same cruelty?"
Listening to Shen Cheng repeatedly call the child a bastard, Wanqian’s heart ached even more. As she thought of Wanyou’s death, tears she could no longer hold back streamed down her face.
"You shut your mouth! You’re not even one-tenth of what Wanyou was. How dare you compare yourself to her? You’re a bastard yourself, and so is the child in your belly!"
"On what grounds for comparison? Don’t forget, you were the one who sent her on her way! And you were on that yacht with other men, cuckolding me!"
Shen Cheng’s eyes reddened with anger. He rushed forward, grabbed Wanqian, and slapped her hard across the face. "Don’t think I’m a fool, Wanqian! You dragged that man there, put them together, and even fed him an aphrodisiac. Don’t think I don’t know anything about it!"
"So what if you know? You still watched her die right in front of you! Shen Cheng, you are heartless and unrighteous!"
"I am only taking back what belongs to me." Shen Cheng clutched Wanqian’s hair and slapped her again. Wanqian’s mouth swelled, and blood spilled from the corner as Shen Cheng tightly restrained her.
In the entire conference room, only the furious shouts of Shen Cheng and Wanqian echoed. Shen Congming, pale-faced, held Shen Jia in a corner. He remained silent, not even attempting to step forward and mediate.
A cold, murderous intent flashed in Shangguan You’s eyes. He watched the dogfight before him with a faint smile. He had assumed their bond would be deep, but it seemed that even the deepest connection couldn’t outweigh their individual interests.
"Shen Cheng, let me tell you, whether you acknowledge it or not, the child in my belly is your seed! Are you even a man if you can’t admit to your own flesh and blood?"
"Bitch!"
Amidst the curses, Shen Cheng and Wanqian grappled with each other. Deep red scratch marks appeared on Shen Cheng’s handsome face. The two had completely lost their reason and were now brawling.
Shangguan You watched the scene with a cold smirk. After a long moment, he finally spoke, his chilly voice giving both of them a jolt and causing them to release each other.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, this is a company. If you two wish to fight or argue, please go home and close the door. You can fight all you want there."
Zhong Mingyang had enjoyed the spectacle. Hearing Shangguan You speak, he naturally added sarcastically, "With the Shen Family in your hands, it’s no wonder it’s facing an economic crisis. You lack even the most basic self-control. These two are no better than street shrews, utterly lacking the dignity expected of those in high positions."
Shen Cheng snorted heavily and straightened his clothes, his face burning. Wanqian fared no better; her entire face was swollen, and her hair was a tangled mess.
"Alright, Manager Shen, do you have anything to say?" Zhong Mingyang spoke indifferently, his gaze turning back to Shen Congming.
As Zhong Mingyang finished speaking, Shen Cheng and Wanqian turned their puzzled gazes towards Shen Congming. Could it be that Shen Congming had done something else? Shen Congming is already playing both sides; surely he hasn’t...
At this thought, their expressions grew even uglier. They had been so preoccupied with outmaneuvering each other that they had forgotten about the crucial figure of Shen Congming.
"Uncle..."
"Shen Cheng, I’m sorry, but I had no choice. The company’s debts were too large, and I had no alternative but to sell the shares you owned. All the money from the sale was used to pay off the company’s loans." Shen Congming’s voice trembled, and he lacked the courage to even glance at Shen Cheng.
"I will sue you," Shen Cheng said, stunned for a moment. He struggled to keep from fainting as he managed to force out those four words.
"Shen Cheng, you personally signed the share transfer agreement." Shen Congming handed a contract bearing Shen Cheng’s signature to him.
PFFT! Upon seeing the familiar signature, the familiar handwriting, and the contract’s contents, Shen Cheng could no longer contain himself and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Good, good, good!" Shen Cheng cried out three times, then could say no more. He collapsed awkwardly onto the chair. Those were the documents Shen Congwen had made him sign right after he was released on bail. At that time, fresh out of detention and reeling from the news that Wanqian had taken control of the company, Shen Cheng hadn’t paid much attention and had impulsively signed several papers.
Shen Cheng had been wary of everyone, but he had completely trusted Shen Congming. Now, he had been betrayed again.
"Shen Cheng, I did this for your own good. It wasn’t ours to begin with, so why should we fight so hard for someone else’s property? Even without the Shen Family’s assets, I will still take care of you, just like before. Let’s return to B City and start over." Shen Congming’s eyes reddened. He knew what he did was wrong, but he felt he had no other choice.
He didn’t want to be a fence-sitter, but it seemed he was destined to be the most colossal one.
"HAHAHA! Shen Cheng, you have nothing now! As long as you acknowledge the child in my belly, we’ll still be family. Then, what’s mine will be yours!" Wanqian was briefly astonished upon hearing Shen Congming’s words but quickly regained her composure. Now that Shen Congming has sold Shen Cheng’s shares, Shen Cheng truly has nothing. If he wants to start over, his only option is to come back to me.
The conference room filled with Wanqian’s triumphant laughter. Now, after being abandoned by everyone, she wanted to see how Shen Cheng could possibly maintain his pride and arrogance in front of her!
