When Zhong Cheng heard this, a ferocious look flashed across his gentle face. With his eyes full of resentment, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Shulan, what good will it do you to ruin the reputation of the Zhong family?"
Chen Shulan thought about the painful days she had lived in the past. It was clearly him who did something wrong, but it was she who was repeatedly tormented by the pain.
Why!
Haha, if we want to go to hell, let’s go together.
She smiled at him and said, "It's not good for me, but it's bad for you. I don't care whether I live or die, I care more about you. We are husband and wife, so we should rise and fall together."
"Why should I cover up for the mistakes you made? The truth should be known to more people, right? Now you want that illegitimate child to join the company, then let me try your tricks."
"Can we suppress all the shareholders' objections?"
Zhong Cheng's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth: "You crazy woman, damn it, I must divorce you."
In the past, whenever this woman heard about divorce, she would be terrified and would beg for mercy humbly. Now, it must be the same...
Chen Shulan hummed, her expression calm, "Okay, I've already told my father and brothers everything. After our divorce, all businesses between the Chen and Zhong families will be terminated."
"Zhong Cheng, my love, I hope you can withstand the coming business shock and survive. Don't make me attend your funeral casually, understand?"
"If you push them to the limit, then we'll fight to the death."
Zhong Cheng sneered, "You're crazy! Our business cooperation is so close that it can't be separated at will. Besides, if you hurt me, your Chen family will suffer a great loss as well."
Chen Shulan smiled as she watched him lose his defense. "Really? Then you can give it a try. Why do you think I've been in so much pain for the past ten years and why I've preferred to take medicine and endure it?"
"Of course you thought I just loved you too much. If you want to split the two families' projects and get rid of the Chen family, what you need most is time. Now it's time to close the net. I hope you like it."
"Betraying a marriage requires a price to be paid. You dare to bully me and turn my daughter from a legitimate daughter into an adopted daughter with no blood relationship. In terms of cruelty, you are the most cruel one."
If he hadn't faked the DNA test with his daughter, how could she have completely given up and wanted his life? It didn't matter, everything was about to end.
After hearing what she said, Zhong Cheng looked at her expression carefully. After confirming that she was not lying, his heart sank completely.
If what she said was true, then she could not afford the consequences. No, when did this happen to the Chen family? There has been nothing unusual for more than ten years.
Project, yes, what's wrong with the project.
Just as he was getting flustered, the reporters in the audience finally came to their senses and leaned in with microphones, asking, "Mr. Zhong, is what's said on the big screen true? Is the son you've just taken back... an illegitimate child?"
This statement immediately ignited the hearts of the audience, and they all shouted, "Mr. Zhong, please answer this question: Is Miss Zhong Yuting your legitimate daughter? And who is Zhong Jiye?"
"Is the woman on the screen your mistress? Was your previous image as a loving wife a deception to the public?"
"Your actions this time, swapping the identities of your biological daughter with your illegitimate son, were you trying to place the illegitimate son in the company? Were your shareholders aware of this beforehand? What impact would this have on the stock..."
The three words "illegitimate child" kept circling in Zhong Jiye's ears like a curse, just like what those people in school used to say, that he was a bastard that no one wanted.
But, but he does have a father. His father will attend their reunions and play with them, but he can’t go to the parent-teacher meetings at school. How come he doesn’t have a father?
Damn, what the hell is going on.
Zhong Jiye subconsciously looked at the old man, ran over and grabbed his trembling hand, and said pitifully: "Grandpa, please save me, I am not a illegitimate child. I am not."
Mr. Zhong was stunned by this sudden change, but now he came to his senses after hearing his grandson's words. He took a deep breath and patted his hand to comfort him: "It's okay, it's really okay, don't be afraid."
"Butler, please ask everyone to leave. Tell them that the Zhong family has some family matters to deal with and outsiders are not allowed to be here."
There was a vicious look in his eyes when he looked at his daughter-in-law. This bitch had always been very docile, but he didn't expect that she was secretly looking for a chance to take revenge on them. How hateful, really hateful.
They had to let the others go. Their family affairs couldn't be exposed anymore. Otherwise, the Zhong family's stocks would be...
Suddenly, more than 20 bodyguards appeared in the villa and began to forcibly expel people. The reporters had rarely found explosive news, so they were not willing to leave easily.
If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know when the next explosive news will come. The two sides started pushing and shoving each other, the scene was in chaos, and the noise was so annoying that everyone had a headache.
No one noticed that Chen Shulan and her daughter were sitting in the corner watching the show.
"Mom, when will someone from Grandpa's side show up? We've humiliated the Zhong family this time. After the reporters leave, they won't let us go."
"Don't worry, they're already on their way and will be here soon. Don't worry, the matter is settled. It's too late for them to do anything. Even if the video footage here is destroyed, it will be useless."
"Your uncle has already sent the backup to the media. He can't suppress it. The Zhong family is doomed to decline. When the time comes, all of their assets will be swallowed up by the Chen family."
Chen Shulan looked at her daughter and said, "This is the price you have to pay. After your grandparents and uncles swallow up the property, it means that even if you are the heir to the Zhong family, you will not inherit the Zhong family's property."
Zhong Yuting's eyes trembled, and after a moment's thought, she spoke: "Mom, I understand. This is a bargaining chip, right? Rather than letting it fall into the hands of the illegitimate child, he will kill me and silence me when he becomes stronger."
"Giving it to my uncle and grandfather is not bad either. At least I can get some dividends in the future, so I won't starve to death. It's much better than giving it to an illegitimate child."
"Mom, I know that everything requires a price to pay, and this price is worth it. From now on, we will live together as mother and daughter, and wait for me... to come out soon."
She had a letter of apology, and the victim was unwilling to pursue the matter. As long as she behaved well, she could be released within a year during those two years in prison. She would just lose her reputation.
As for my fiancé, well, I guess he will come to my house and cancel the engagement soon. Well, it’s nothing I can’t lose anyway.
"Mom, if the Qiao family comes to cancel the engagement, then just do it. Don't make it too embarrassing."
Chen Shulan looked at her daughter's calm face, feeling a little sad. "I'm sorry, it's all because of Mommy's failure to protect you. If I had taken action earlier, maybe... there would have been less damage."
