"Okay, let me ask you this: if you propose to me, what will happen to Bai Ling?"

Shan Chengming paused for a few seconds, but Malaysia Airlines spoke without hesitation.

"Bai Ling? That ill-mannered woman is a complete liar!"

Shan Chengming spoke with great anger, as if Bai Ling were a vicious and wicked person.

Shen Beitang raised an eyebrow and said that Bai Ling was a liar. Did he know that Bai Ling's background was fabricated by her?

So Shan Chengming put on this show in front of him.

"Do you know about Uncle Bai Ling?" she asked tentatively.

Shan Chengming's expression froze, and he asked in confusion, "Uncle? Isn't she an orphan?"

Shen Beitang understood. It seemed that Shan Chengming knew nothing, but simply disliked Bai Ling and felt that she had no value to him.

"Then do you know that Bai Ling is dead?"

"Dead?"

Shan Chengming repeated those two words, "She's dead?"

He was fine when he went abroad, but without money, it was really difficult to get by overseas, so he slunk back.

Bai Ling was indeed to my liking, but she had no background and was an unacknowledged illegitimate child.

He came back this time with the intention of seduce Shen Beitang and then seize the Shen family's assets.

As for Bai Ling, it wouldn't be bad to keep her outside as a little lover. If you get tired of the food at home, it's nice to go out and change things up occasionally.

But now, Shen Beitang tells him that Bai Ling is dead...

"It's good that she's dead, then no one can stop us."

A sense of joy welled up in Shan Chengming's heart. He had originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort dealing with Bai Ling.

I never expected her to die so quietly. It's really...good.

Looking at the man in front of her, Shen Beitang felt that every pore of his body was hideous, like a monster with bared teeth and claws.

Although she knew it was pointless, she still wanted to tell Shan Chengming something.

"Bai Ling committed suicide; she stabbed herself in the stomach with a knife. She was carrying twins, and the forensic doctor said they were boys."

Shen Beitang only learned about this when the forensic doctor gave her the autopsy report.

It's hard to imagine what Bai Ling was thinking when she plunged the knife into her own stomach.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Shan Chengming recalled that before he went abroad, Bai Ling said she would give him a surprise when he returned.

It looks like it's the twins in her belly.

But so what if she has a child? Bai Ling just wants to use the child to tie herself down.

"Who knows if the child in Bai Ling's belly is his own? It's better if it's not."

Shan Chengming approached her step by step.

"Shen Beitang, didn't you hate Bai Ling the most? Shouldn't you be the happiest person now that she's dead?"

Shan Chengming himself is inhuman, yet he uses the greatest malice to speculate about others, trying to drag everyone down to his level.

"I feel so sorry for Bai Ling. She was so happy waiting for the birth of her child, waiting for you to come back, but in the end, the person she was waiting for was not the right one."

Shen Beitang later learned that Bai Ling had opened two bank accounts and deposited the money she hadn't managed to get into the scheme into separate accounts.

This risky move to sever ties with Bai Li is also an attempt to give the child a clean family.

"I feel so sorry for Bai Ling. She may not be a good person, but she must have been a good mother."

Shen Beitang suddenly felt a little fortunate that Bai Ling died when she thought Shan Chengming loved her the most.

She remembered that when Bai Ling and Shan Chengming got engaged, both the ring and the dress were fake.

Such a beginning may also foreshadow the end of their false love.

When Shen Beitang had the security guards drag him away, Shan Chengming was still shouting.

"Shen Beitang, this is your last chance to be with me, so don't you cherish it!"

Shen Beitang did not exterminate the Shan family at first, but gave them a way out.

It seems completely unnecessary now; otherwise, encountering such a situation in the business world later would only embarrass me.

As a result, the Shan family, which was once very popular in Anshi, moved away overnight and disappeared without a trace.

...

While eating, Shen Beitang could always sense a mournful gaze.

Following the gaze, I saw Gu Zhun sitting at his desk, flipping through documents, but his eyes were fixed on me.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Gu Zhun, is there anything you want to say?"

"So you sent me away yesterday and went to such a far shopping mall just to see Shan Chengming."

"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do about it."

Because she had just met Shan Cheng, she had already told Gu Zhun about it immediately.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhun not only failed to come up with a solution for her, but also kept repeating that phrase, which made her scalp tingle.

"I knew you'd just brush me off like that."

Gu Zhun's resentment filled the entire office.

"You have a shareholders' meeting in 15 minutes," Shen Beitang kindly reminded him.

This shareholders' meeting will signify that the shares will henceforth belong to him alone, and the company's shareholders will change from two to one.

"You actually went to see Shan Chengming behind my back." Gu Zhun kept repeating this sentence.

"Today you will be making an explanation regarding the equity adjustment of the Gu family. This is your prepared statement."

Shen Beitang developed an impenetrable defense, perfectly blocking Gu Zhun's onslaught of resentment.

They methodically prepared all the items for the meeting and presented them to Gu Zhun one by one.

“Raise your head.”

Shen Beitang lifted Gu Zhun's chin with one hand and took a sip of ice water.

While his lips were still slightly cool, he kissed Gu Zhun's lips.

"You're still so hot-tempered in winter, let me cool you down."

But just as Gu Zhun wanted to delve deeper, Shen Beitang had already gotten up and left.

With a flushed face, she wiped the water from her mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Aren't you going to the meeting yet?"

...

"President Gu, we propose that the shares be auctioned off or distributed to senior employees."

"That's what a department manager who's worked at the company for 15 years said."

"It's certainly good for you to manage things alone, Mr. Gu, but it's easy for the company to become a one-man show, causing it to lose its original vitality."

Shen Beitang glanced at the people in the conference room who were all singing in unison; they were all former associates of Yun Su.

Now that Yun Su has fallen, and seeing that he can't gain any benefits, he's starting to flaunt his seniority, wanting to split the shares equally.

Gu Zhun nodded thoughtfully: "I also think what you all said is very true."

Everyone's eyes lit up, after all, they had all witnessed how Gu Zhun dealt with Yun Su.

This is just a trial balloon to test the waters before making further plans. I didn't expect Gu Zhun to be so easy to talk to.

So some people were already getting restless and handed a document to Gu Zhun.

"Mr. Gu, this is the draft group allocation contract we have prepared."
