When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 606: The Truths Hidden Within the Truth (16)

What does it feel like to witness the ugly and cruel face of your mother?

Tang Yanqi picked up her phone and called Sheng Jianan. The phone rang several times without being answered. Tang Yanqi called three times in a row, and it was only on the last ring that the call was finally picked up.

Tang Yanqi tightened her grip on the phone: "Jianan..."

Her voice was very soft, as if afraid to disturb something.

There was no sound from the phone, only silence, but a voice in her heart told her that the person on the other end was listening to her.

"Jianan"

Tang Yanqi didn’t say much, she just kept calling Sheng Jianan’s name over and over.

Finally, on the seventh call, a word came from the other side: "Mhm."

Both sides fell silent. After a long time, Tang Yanqi placed a hand on her belly, smiling: "Jianan, the baby and I are still at home." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

There was still silence on the other end, so Tang Yanqi continued, "We’ll be waiting for you at home. Remember to come back when you’re done. I’m hanging up now."

Just as her voice faded, she heard the man’s low, hoarse voice in her ear: "Yanqi, I love you."

The morning sunlight bathed the earth, and Tang Yanqi, holding her phone, turned to look out the window. Today’s temperature wasn’t high, but the sunlight was splendid, enveloping her in an unprecedented calmness.

All the shock, all the pain, gradually settled in this kind of sunshine.

Tang Yanqi pursed her lips, put away her phone, got out of bed, changed into the most beautiful maternity dress, went downstairs, and methodically ate breakfast, greeting Su Weiyi with a good morning.

Then she watched as the driver took him to school, and she herself went to work as usual.

No one in the office knew her identity, so during her work breaks, when gossiping about this piece of news that was like a tsunami, no one was avoiding her.

Everything has its effects, like how this was clearly just a scandal among the rich, but it inexplicably dragged out a lot of strange things.

For example, the online arguments among keyboard warriors; some people thought Sheng Jianan’s actions were inhumane—how could he personally send his mother to prison? Others believed that crime should be punished and that putting righteousness above family was correct.

In short, everyone had their own reasoning.

Another example: the news broke on Monday, and Shengshi Group’s stock was affected, plummeting drastically.

This was an unprecedented crash in the past twenty years, and as a commercial giant, its crash directly triggered a significant financial turmoil.

Tang Yanqi studied economics, and she understood many things clearly.

As she had predicted, this event was a tremendous blow to Shengshi Group. Its status in the business world was so high that even a small disturbance could provoke a tsunami, let alone such a significant upheaval.

In just two days, Shengshi Group’s losses amounted to billions of dollars. Such an event would be catastrophic for any listed group, but the fortunate thing was that Shengshi Group was almost entirely controlled by the Sheng Family.

After Mr. Sheng’s death, his shares were inherited by Sheng Jianan, Sheng Jiayu, and Mr. Sheng.

Mr. Sheng immediately transferred his initial five percent plus the ten percent inherited to Sheng Jianan. Sheng Jiayu also publicly declared her support for her brother at the first opportunity.

A week passed, and Tang Yanqi still hadn’t seen Sheng Jianan. All the news about him and Shengshi, she could only learn through reports.
