Zhong Yuting looked at the farce not far away, her eyes dim as she said, "Mom, I've learned my lesson this time. I won't be as willful as before. Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

The Zhong and Qiao families had a business marriage. Now that the Zhong family's empire was about to collapse, it was reasonable for the other party to cancel the engagement. There was nothing to be sad about. She had nothing left to lose.

Having nothing, you naturally have nothing to fear.

The farce was under control in more than half an hour. Reporters and bloggers were driven out one after another. The originally noisy banquet hall gradually quieted down, and the Zhong family members all looked over.

His eyes were like knives, and he wished to skin them alive. Zhong Cheng strode over, his eyes were gloomy, and without saying anything, he raised his hand and slapped them twice.

Zhong Yuting stood up when she saw this, raised her hand and hit the other person, but her wrist was grabbed.

Zhong Cheng's eyes were filled with resentment: "Oh, I'm your biological father and I've loved you for so many years, and this is how you treat me. You actually want to attack me. It's simply unbelievable."

After saying that, he threw the person to the ground and reached out to grab Chen Shulan's neck. At this moment, he had lost his mind due to the impact of anger and looked at her with gritted teeth.

"Why do you do this? I've treated you badly over the years because of your depression. Going to a nursing home is the best thing you can do. I've never treated you harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Chen Shulan, you're not going to be satisfied until you destroy me, are you?"

Chen Shulan's neck was being pinched. Her dead eyes moved and she couldn't help laughing: "Zhong Cheng, you are so ridiculous. I am the eldest daughter of the Chen family. I have been living a life of luxury since I was a child."

"With or without you, I will live the best life. I need you to reward me. Let me make it clear that it was you who went to the Chen family to propose marriage, humble as a dog."

"You promised... to treat me well forever, but you didn't keep your promise. You cheated on me right after we got married. Why? Haha, you're a hypocrite who says one thing and does another. Who are you trying to show off to?"

Zhong Cheng's decent face was torn off by the other party and stepped on the ground. His expression became distorted and his hands slowly tightened.

Chen Shulan was out of breath and spoke with difficulty: "Do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, the Chen family will not let you go. Your Zhong family will be completely destroyed. Haha, my life in exchange for the entire Zhong family is a good deal."

"Oh, everything that happened today was caused by you. If you hadn't betrayed me and cheated me, the Zhong family wouldn't have come to this point."

Reason finally triumphed over anger. Zhong Cheng released his grip, pulled out his phone, and called the PR department directly: "Hey, no matter what, suppress all the negative news about the Zhong family on all platforms."

[Yes, it doesn't matter how much money it costs, just keep the news secret.]

[Yes, Mr. Zhong.]

Zhong Cheng looked down at her and said, "Chen Shulan, you will pay the price. I will divorce you and marry Xiaorou. Then Jiye will still be a legitimate member of the Zhong family."

"The shareholders object, haha. What right do they have to object? As for you and your daughter, get out of the Zhong family now. Your daughter won't want anything from our family in the future."

"I want to see how your parents will protect you as a married daughter. Do you think you can go back to the Chen family? If you destroy me, you will not end up well either."

Chen Shulan couldn't help laughing: "Zhong Cheng, you are still so conceited and take things for granted. I am a person with depression and I have so much time to think about these things every day. Do you think I don't know?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not a threat to the Chen family. On the contrary, I'm a help. I only need a little dividend every month. I don't want to go to the group, so my mother's family won't sit idly by."

"Besides, the Zhong family has many other businesses that the Chen family is very interested in. In the business world, there is no emotion; profit is the only thing that lasts, isn't it?"

Zhong Cheng clenched his fists, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

Mr. Zhong was supported behind him and said, "Alright, Zhong Cheng, stop getting entangled with a woman. It's more important to deal with the company's business. This matter can't be spread out, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the company's stock."

"We suppressed the negative news at all costs and publicly claimed that Chen Shulan had a depression attack during the banquet and threatened suicide, so the banquet had to be suspended."

"Okay, I understand, Dad."

Zhong Cheng shouted, "Come here, lock them up in the basement. Don't give them any food or water for three days. This will teach them a lesson."

Zhong Yuting looked at the nanny who came over and said expressionlessly: "Dad, don't forget that I am still in detention. You are only temporarily bailing me out. I have to go back before dark."

"If you lock me up, the police will come to your door."

"Also, if anything happens to Mom, I will definitely not let your illegitimate son go. Since you don't acknowledge us, we will be strangers from now on. You shouldn't mind not having any descendants."

Zhong Cheng looked at her coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

Zhong Yuting pursed her lips and said, "It's just a friendly reminder, how can it be a threat? Since I'm no longer a member of the Zhong family, then naturally I have to change my surname to Chen. It's easy to make life difficult for an illegitimate child."

"I won't do stupid things like killing people again, but it's easy for an ordinary person to have a hard time living and eventually die. Who can I blame for my poor ability to endure it?"

"Dear father, isn't that what you did to my mother? When you betrayed her, she was in pain, but you didn't think there was anything wrong with it. You even blamed her for being too imaginative and fragile."

"I hope that when the Zhong family falls, your illegitimate son can be strong and not die so easily. Otherwise, how boring it would be for me."

Zhong Cheng bent down and lifted her up: "Are you crazy? He is your blood brother."

A trace of hatred flashed in Zhong Yuting's eyes: "My mother only gave birth to me. I have never had any younger brothers. That was just a bastard you couldn't control yourself and forced to produce."

"I've always been the only child in the Zhong family. There's no one else, and there can't be anyone else. Stop saying those useless things."

"...You're just like your mother."

Zhong Jiye walked over quickly, panic in his eyes: "Dad, what should I do next? Can I still enter the company?"

Zhong Cheng stood up and walked to his son. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder. He suppressed his irritation and comforted him: "It's okay. The Zhong family has a deep foundation and will not be defeated so easily."

"I will marry Chen Shulan and your mother. Then you will be a real member of the Zhong family. If anyone dares to object, I will naturally have ways to deal with them."

Zhong Jiye felt more at ease after hearing what he said.

Soon the housekeeper ran in with a look of panic on his face: "Boss, there are more than ten cars outside. They are... the Chen family."

"What? Why are the Chen family here?"

Zhong Cheng looked at the person sitting on the ground and asked, "Chen Shulan, did you ask them to come?"

Chen Shulan rubbed her neck, her voice a little hoarse: "Yes, you want to divorce me, then of course I want to take the dowry away. You won't take away the dowry of a woman like me, right?"
