On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!
Chapter 15 Uncovering the Treachery
Su Chenxi raised her head. "Don't think I'm afraid of you."
"I'll make you fear me." Xia Xiaomeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Do you believe me? In the future, I can make you wish you were dead with just a flick of my finger."
Su Chenxi ignored her and walked towards the door. Xia Xiaomeng's cold laughter came from behind her, "So what if you go to study abroad? I will ruin your career and shatter your dreams sooner or later. I will make you like a rat in the dark, never able to see the sunlight."
Su Chenxi clenched her fists and turned around angrily, saying, "Xia Xiaomeng, don't push your luck."
Xia Xiaomeng reached out and covered her lower abdomen. "So what if I bully you? Everything in the Shen family will belong to my son in the future. How can you compete with me?"
Su Chenxi looked at her lower abdomen in surprise, "You're pregnant?"
Xia Xiaomeng smiled, raising an eyebrow smugly. "Yes, it's a son." Then, she added sarcastically, "Envious? Your crippled husband probably couldn't get you pregnant!"
Su Chenxi snorted and retorted, "It's none of your business."
After saying that, she turned and left, but she didn't want to go back to the banquet. She wanted to find a lounge to stay in.
As soon as she entered a lounge on the second floor, in the quiet and empty corridor, she heard an angry thud. Startled, she instinctively moved closer to the lounge.
From the half-open door came an angry voice, "Yaorong, haven't you asked for enough? You want to force me to sign an equity transfer agreement?"
Su Chenxi gasped. Good heavens, that was Old Mrs. Shen's voice. She seemed to be filled with grief and indignation.
"Mom, the shares you hold must be given to me and Jianchang. The Shen Group has suffered significant losses due to the recent stock market crash, and we need you to hand over your shares." Shen Yaorong's cold voice rang out.
"Even if I were to hand over the shares, they would be split equally between Jianchang and Yanchuan, not all of them given to you. He's already crippled, and you still won't let him go?" the old lady angrily accused.
"Mom, if you want him to live a long and peaceful life, you shouldn't give him the shares, because that will only harm him." Shen Yaorong's voice remained cold.
"How far...how much more do you intend to harm him?" the old woman cried out, driven to despair.
"Mom, please sign! I'm begging you, it's for the future of the Shen Group."
"I won't sign, I won't sign, take it away!" the old woman's voice rang out angrily.
Shen Yaorong sighed, "Why are you so stubborn? You don't have much time left."
"Go away, I don't want to see you," the old woman said, shooing him away.
Hearing footsteps, Su Chenxi quickly hid behind a pillar.
She didn't dare to breathe loudly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Shen Yaorong's footsteps left. She wanted to go in and check on the old lady's condition, in case she got angry and something happened, she would need someone by her side.
As soon as Su Chenxi entered the lounge, she heard footsteps behind her. Worried that Shen Yaorong had returned, she quickly hid behind the curtains next to the screen.
It wasn't Shen Yaorong who came in, but a woman dressed as a nanny. She walked in and said, "Grandma, let me make you a cup of tea!"
After saying that, she took out a packet of tea leaves, steeped it in boiling water, and poured the tea into a cup after three infusions.
Su Chenxi peeked out and suddenly saw the nanny take out a small amount of powder from her sleeve and pour it into the tea. Her eyes darted around sharply, clearly showing that she had done something wrong.
She stirred the tea slightly and then brought it towards the old lady.
Su Chenxi thought to herself, "Could it be that Shen Yaorong is going to drug the old lady?"
Although Su Chenxi had only spent a few days with the old lady, her gentle demeanor warmed her heart.
She couldn't bear to watch the old lady be murdered, so she immediately pretended to walk in from the direction of the door, "Grandma, you're here!"
The nanny was startled, and the teacup in her hand trembled, but fortunately the tea did not spill.
Su Chenxi stepped forward and took the teacup, saying, "Let me feed Grandma!"
After saying that, Su Chenxi forcibly took the teacup from the nanny's hand, and then, pretending that it was too hot, knocked the teacup to the ground.
Looking at the broken tea leaves and spilled tea on the floor, Su Chenxi immediately apologized, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'll pour you another cup."
The old lady looked over with concern and asked, "Did you burn yourself?"
"Second Young Mistress, I'll go pour some tea!" the nanny said with a smile.
"I'll do it, you clean the floor!" Su Chenxi volunteered.
The nanny stared at Su Chenxi, scrutinizing her. She felt a little flustered. Su Chenxi's sudden appearance and the fact that she had broken the teacup aroused her suspicion.
Su Chenxi brewed another cup of tea for the old lady and brought it over, saying, "Grandma, be careful it's hot!"
The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"Grandma, I'll stay with you!" Su Chenxi sat down next to the old lady and decided to stay there.
The nanny stared at Su Chenxi suspiciously several times. Su Chenxi noticed, but pretended not to see it.
After the nanny left, Su Chenxi asked curiously, "Grandma, do you usually like to drink this kind of tea?"
"Yes, this is my favorite kind of Osmanthus-scented Snow Bud Tea. I've been drinking it for many years, almost every day," the old lady said with a smile.
Su Chenxi couldn't help but think of the report she had seen last time. Two years ago, the old lady was still able to attend the board meeting and was in good spirits, but in the past two years, there have been frequent reports of her being unwell.
Could it be that someone is slowly poisoning the old lady, causing her health to deteriorate?
She didn't know what kind of drug the nanny had given her, but since the old lady had shares in the company, the person who gave her the drug certainly wouldn't kill her suddenly; instead, they would force her to hand over the shares.
So, this person is Shen Yaorong.
He not only killed his own brother and sister-in-law and crippled his own nephew, but he also wanted to do something even more heinous.
He even wanted to poison his own mother.
They're worse than animals!
At that moment, in another room, the nanny truthfully recounted what had just happened to someone—not Shen Yaorong, but Shen Yaorong's wife.
"You mean that girl might have seen you drug her?"
"I'm not sure either. I don't even know when she appeared in the room, and why she took the teacup and deliberately broke it? Madam, what should we do?" the nanny said, somewhat panicked.
"Don't panic. So what if she finds out? What can she do?" Madam Shen sneered calmly.
"If she tells the second young master, and the second young master tells the old lady, then I... I'm doomed."
"Then you should find an opportunity to get rid of her today." Madam Shen's gaze was as sinister as a venomous snake.
The nanny's face changed in fright. "Madam, what do you mean?"
"Go do it! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens." Madam Shen's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
