Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 537 Watching you cry with a smile (3)_1
"Shen Cheng, you should think this through. You’ve made it to where you are now with such difficulty. Do you really want to return to your former life, to a life where you had nothing? You have to realize that in this world, there is no second Wanyou."
"My affairs are none of your concern. Get away from me."
"Hahaha, I’ll wait! I’ll wait for the day you beg me!" Wanqian burst into laughter, looking at Shen Cheng, who had lost everything. All the resentment she had felt vanished; she eagerly awaited the moment Shen Cheng would beg her once more.
"Miss Wanqian, I’m afraid you won’t be seeing that day." Shen Congming’s voice rang out once again, and another contract appeared in Wanqian’s hands. The smugness on her face froze again. She widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the contract, at the series of signatures on it.
The contract in Wanqian’s hands, just like Shen Cheng’s, had transferred not only her shares but even her properties and stocks. All the money received from the sale was invested back into the company to help repay its debts.
She, like Shen Cheng, had unknowingly done all the work, only for others to reap the rewards. They were now both penniless, once again hoist by their own petard.
Wanqian’s body, like a leaf in the cold wind, began to tremble uncontrollably, and she collapsed weakly into the chair. The handwriting on the paper was hers, the signature was hers, and even her private assets were listed—assets that nobody else should have known about.
Nobody had forced her, and she couldn’t understand how this had happened. Looking at the signature before her, a vague memory surfaced of her signing it herself, with several witnesses present. These contracts were legally binding, and she couldn’t even utter the words, "I will sue you."
Her fortune, worth hundreds of millions, was now gone in an instant. Just a moment ago, she had been the high and mighty CEO, pressuring Shen Cheng, but in the blink of an eye, she was left with nothing, her fortune vanishing. Wanqian’s entire day had been a rollercoaster, fluctuating between alarm and elation, then elation and sorrow. Even a man like Shen Cheng couldn’t withstand the shock and spat out blood.
Wanqian’s day had not been easy, either. Now she just sat there numbly, her whole body shaking.
Shangguan You’s lips still subtly curled up as she watched the two people who seemed to have lost their souls. The smile at the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but widen. If they thought that this was the end of it, they were mistaken, very mistaken.
"The two of you clean up your things and leave the Shen Family," Shangguan You’s cool voice sounded, trampling Shen Cheng and Wanqian underfoot once more. She smiled as she watched them cry.
"Why?" Shen Cheng mumbled to himself as he looked at Shangguan You, sitting in the main seat. In her, he saw a familiar figure.
"Why? I’m simply taking back what’s mine. However, I must thank you both for selling your shares; you’ve temporarily solved the company’s major problem. Considering your selflessness, I’ll allow you to stay in the Shen Mansion for one more week before I reclaim it."
Shangguan You’s words pierced like a sword once again.
"The Shen Mansion is private property. You have no right to take it over."
"It is private property, but the Shen Mansion is now my property. Here are the relevant documents. You can have a look."
Shen Cheng numbly looked at the property deed in his hands, his eyes becoming increasingly bloodshot.
"Impossible, impossible! These things originally belonged to Old Shen. I’ve searched the Shen Mansion for two years and never found them. You couldn’t possibly have found them! Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with the Shen Family?" Shen Cheng’s voice became shriller. After Old Shen’s death, he had searched every inch of the Shen Mansion. How could something he couldn’t find now be in Shangguan You’s hands?
"I am Shangguan You." Shangguan You’s cold gaze met Shen Cheng’s, sending a chill up his spine and causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.
"Alright, see them out."
Zhong Mingyang stood in front of Shangguan You, looking at the two nearly frantic individuals, then had someone escort them out.
A drastic change swept through the Shen Family in a single day. Former CEO Shen Cheng and Wanqian dominated the headlines due to their resignations and the sale of their shares. Meanwhile, adjustments were made within the Shen Family: several senior executives resigned, and the company infused new staff.
After a change in leadership, the once precarious Shen Family reemerged, dominant before the public. And the Shen Family’s new CEO, who had turned a joint-stock company back into a private enterprise, caused a great stir in the business world.
Unfortunately, this CEO was very mysterious, not attending any events. The company’s affairs were all managed by the acting CEO, Zhong Mingyang. As the former CEO of the You Family, Zhong Mingyang now managed the Shen Family again. With his good relationships, the financial crisis of the Shen Family soon passed.
「Shen Mansion.」
The usually noisy main hall was now eerily quiet. Shen Cheng sat on the sofa, his complexion ashen, looking as if his soul had departed. He had spent the entire day reeling from one shock after another. Now back at home, he was still unable to come to his senses.
On another sofa, Wanqian was not faring any better. Her face was badly swollen, and she was still struggling to believe what had happened, unable to recover from the immense shock.
Shen Congming’s family of three sat in a corner, Shen Congming’s face pale. Shen Jia’s body trembled lightly; she had truly witnessed Shangguan You’s bloodless ways of destroying people. Seeing the condition of Shen Cheng and Wanqian, she scarcely dared to breathe deeply, burying herself in Duan Mei’s arms. She knew that once Shen Cheng and Wanqian regained their senses, a storm would be upon their family. Shen Cheng wouldn’t let her father off, nor would he spare her. If not for their arrival, Shen Cheng would not have ended up with nothing. Everyone held their breath, anticipating Shen Cheng’s fury, awaiting his revenge.
As minutes ticked by in the silent living room, a loud bang made Shen Jia’s body shudder. Shen Cheng, who had been sitting, shot up, his eyes filled with malice as he glared at Wanqian. He lunged forward and struck out at Wanqian with both hands.
