Chapter 379 She is the eldest daughter of Si Mingshan.
Some people in the banquet hall also saw the video, and it caused a complete uproar.
"Holy crap, is this torture?"
"Who's so bold as to mess with Young Master Sheng's people?"
"I suspect the murderer won't live past tomorrow..."
The two women panicked completely. Taking advantage of the crowd's chatter, they slowly moved towards the door, trying to slip away in the chaos.
I had just reached the door and hadn't even had time to feel smug.
"Bang!"
A tall bodyguard, expressionless, reached out and roughly shoved them back.
"Stay put."
The two of them stumbled and almost fell to the ground, their bodies going limp with fright...
Sheng Tingxiao rushed into the women's restroom because he knew that those aromatherapy lamps were used in the toilets.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li." A familiar voice rang out.
"Ugh... Ugh..." Lin Xiaoli suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. She banged her head against the wooden door, making a dull thud.
The next second, the door opened.
Sheng Tingxiao's tall figure loomed over her, backlit, yet it brought her immense peace of mind.
When he saw the woman's miserable state, his handsome face instantly darkened, and anger surged from his heart to the top of his head.
She was tied up and hidden in a small cubicle, her mouth taped shut, her hair disheveled, and her face covered in tears and filth.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." He reached out and helped her out, carefully peeling off the tape from her mouth.
Then, he took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her face, and tidied her hair.
When his gaze fell on the several clear bloodstains on the back of her hand, the atmosphere around him became frighteningly tense.
Once the restraints were released, Lin Xiaoli could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
"Sheng Tingxiao, I want to go home...take me home."
She clutched the fabric of his expensive suit tightly, releasing all the fear, helplessness, and grievances she had just felt.
"I'm sorry I'm late." He hugged her, his broad hands gently patting her back.
His voice was filled with suppressed anger and deep heartache.
"Don't cry, sweetie,"
"Your husband will help you get justice."
Immediately, he pulled her up in his arms and scooped her up in his arms.
Lin Xiaoli gasped in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in the crook of his neck.
The clean, woody scent emanating from him instantly put her at ease.
The man held her in his arms and turned to walk towards the banquet hall.
A terrifying storm raged in his eyes, a pure killing intent he had never displayed before, even when he had personally killed his enemies in the business world.
He was truly furious.
When Sheng Tingxiao carried Lin Xiaoli back to the banquet hall, the once noisy venue instantly fell silent.
All eyes were on them.
Zhou Zhe, the person in charge of Ancheng Shengchuang Company, reacted very quickly and immediately brought over a chair and placed it steadily in front of the stage.
The doctors and nurses nearby quickly stepped forward with their medical kits.
Sheng Tingxiao gently placed Lin Xiaoli on the chair, without looking at anyone the entire time.
The doctor knelt down, dipped a cotton swab in disinfectant, and prepared to treat the wound on the back of her hand.
Everyone held their breath.
"hiss."
When the disinfectant touched the wound, Lin Xiaoli gasped in pain and flinched.
"Be gentle."
Sheng Tingxiao squeezed out two words, his eyes so cold they could shatter ice.
"Okay, okay." The doctor's hands trembled, and he moved with increasing caution, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Zhou Zhe quickly stepped forward and reported in a low voice:
"President Sheng, the source of the videos has been found and they have all been deleted. The perpetrators have also been apprehended."
As soon as he finished speaking, two women in formal dresses were brought in by bodyguards, who bound them hand and foot and forced them to kneel on the ground.
"Young Master Sheng, I was wrong. I didn't know she was really your fiancée. I thought she was some mistress..."
"President Sheng, please let me go! I was just joking around with her, I didn't mean it!"
"We were just standing up for Miss Si, we're her friends! Please, have mercy on us!"
The two women cried so hard their makeup was ruined, and they desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Sheng Tingxiao frowned.
He gave them a look, and Zhou Zhe immediately understood, ordering his men to seal their mouths with duct tape.
The world is finally quiet.
Sheng Tingxiao didn't say anything, waiting for the doctor to bandage the wound on her hand.
He suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Xiaoli, reached out and gently fastened the loose buttons on her shoes.
Then he reached out and straightened her skirt.
Lin Xiaoli's eyes were red, and tears kept falling.
"Sweetie, don't cry. Does it still hurt?" He stood up, reached out and pressed her head into his arms, patting it gently.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, I want to... go home." She sobbed twice.
"Okay, wait ten minutes, then I'll take you home. Hmm?"
He gently coaxed her.
Seeing this, everyone realized just how much Young Master Sheng cherished his fiancée.
He was bullied like this by these two women.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill for them.
Finally, Sheng Tingxiao released Lin Xiaoli and walked up to the two women, looking down at them.
"Who brought these two women here?"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man in a suit felt his legs go weak and he could barely stand.
He was the boss of one of the women, and he was now huddled in the crowd, sweating profusely, too afraid to step forward.
No one dared to utter a sound in the entire banquet hall.
I don't want to ask a second time.
Sheng Tingxiao's voice already carried a clear hint of impatience.
Zhou Zhe quickly stepped forward with a tablet computer. "President Sheng, we found it. The woman in the blue dress on the left is Fang Yun, the chief secretary of Dongyun Enterprise. Their general manager, Chen Fan, is here."
"The lady on the right is Mo Yufei, the second daughter of the Mo family in Dongcheng. Her family is in the foreign trade business."
As soon as Zhou Zhe finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out in the crowd.
A man named Chen Fan squeezed out and rushed in front of Fang Yun, kicking her directly.
"You bitch! I brought you here to broaden your horizons, and you went to bully Mrs. Sheng? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
After kicking the person and venting his anger, Chen Fan turned around and knelt down with a "plop".
"President Sheng! I'll fire her as soon as I get back! Immediately! Please, have mercy on our company!"
Sheng Tingxiao didn't even lift his eyelids, but simply spoke in a calm tone.
"Dongyun Enterprise, Mo family."
Zhou Zhe immediately understood and respectfully replied.
"yes."
Everyone was deeply shocked, understanding what those few simple words meant.
These two companies in Ancheng will go bankrupt completely within three days.
Chen Fan kept pleading for him, but it got too noisy, so the bodyguards pulled him out.
Sheng Tingxiao then asked, "Who hit my baby just now?"
With a single glance from Zhou Zhe, the bodyguards tore off the duct tape from the two women.
"It was her! She started it!" the woman in the black dress shouted first.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" The woman in the blue dress was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin, shaking her head desperately.
A tall bodyguard stepped forward expressionlessly.
"Smack!"
A loud slap landed hard on her face.
"Clap clap clap".
The crisp slaps came one after another, a full twenty times, without any mercy.
The woman in the blue dress was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented, her ears were ringing, and her mouth was covered in blood.
Knowing she was going to die, she decided to give up and screamed wildly with all her might.
"She's a shameless mistress! She stole Miss Si's engagement!"
"She's a slut, she deserves to die!"
Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well curse them out!
"Smack."
She was met with yet another, even harder slap.
The bodyguard then took out new tape and sealed their mouths shut again.
"Shut up. The marriage between our Si family and the Sheng family is not something for outsiders like you to interfere with."
A majestic voice rang out.
The crowd parted to make way, and Si Mingshan walked out with a sullen face, followed by a respectful butler.
The crowd stirred again.
Chairman Si actually came in person!
This is going to be interesting; everyone looked at Lin Xiaoli with a hint of worry in their eyes.
It seems that even the young master of Shengda is in a dilemma today.
To everyone's surprise, Si Mingshan walked straight through the crowd to Lin Xiaoli, slowly bent down, and asked softly with a voice full of tenderness, "Lili, does it still hurt?"
Lin Xiaoli was startled by his action and shrank back slightly, then gently shook her head.
She recognized the person.
He is Si Nuan's father; she met him once when she first arrived at the Si family.
Later, he visited his grandmother and mother, and chatted with her for a long time. A few days ago, he even specially arranged for a maid to come and send over some tonics.
I heard that Si Nuan's mother passed away a long time ago, and her grandmother raised her. Si Mingshan is known for his love for his only daughter.
"I'm sorry, Dad is late. I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble," Si Mingshan said guiltily.
dad?
These two words completely baffled Lin Xiaoli.
Not only her, but everyone at the scene was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Si Mingshan slowly straightened his back, faced the crowd, and announced in an unquestionable tone:
"She is my eldest daughter, Si Mingshan, Si Li."
"She is also Young Master Sheng's fiancée."
"They're getting engaged in a couple of days."
He paused, then added an even more significant piece of news.
“She and my youngest daughter, Si Nuan, own the same shares in Si's Group and have equal inheritance rights.”
"Moreover, she is now the largest shareholder of Nine Stars Technology. I hope everyone will take good care of her in the future."
These words caused an uproar in the entire room.
Who would have thought that Chairman Si actually had such a hidden eldest daughter!
So it turns out this is the real marriage prospect for the Sheng family!
Nine Stars Technology!
That's a smart technology giant with over 30,000 patents, a behemoth worth hundreds of billions!
It is a golden opportunity that Shengchuang Financial, in collaboration with a global technology giant, spent three whole years incubating.
Just one of their patents would be enough to make the Si and Li families fight tooth and nail for it.
Last year's financial report showed a net profit of over 70 billion!
The seemingly delicate Mrs. Sheng in front of me is actually the largest shareholder of Nine Stars Technology?
This net worth is simply unimaginable!
That's incredibly extravagant!
Suddenly, Zhou Zhe presented the broken necklace to him with both hands.
"This is the young mistress's necklace; it's been torn."
Sheng Tingxiao glanced at him coldly.
"Make them pay the full price, 260 million. There's only one set of the Galaxy Kiss. If they can't afford it, let them spend the rest of their lives in jail."
"Yes." Zhou Zhe nodded.
The women in blue and black dresses had their pupils contract sharply, their eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
Is it genuine?
Two hundred and sixty million!
Lin Xiaoli was equally shocked by the necklace worth over 200 million.
Sheng Tingxiao bent down, his strong arms slipping under her knees and back, easily lifting her up horizontally.
He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
"Honey, let me take you home."
Before turning to leave, he added one more sentence to Zhou Zhe.
"Remember to buy all the aromatherapy lamps in the city and have some fun with them."
"Yes!" Zhou Zhe nodded respectfully, and with a wave of his hand, several bodyguards immediately lifted the two women off the ground.
Both women were so frightened they wet themselves, leaving the ground soaked. They struggled desperately, making whimpering sounds as if trying to beg for mercy.
But... it was all too late.
After Sheng Tingxiao carried the person away, several business tycoons immediately surrounded Si Mingshan.
"Chairman Si, Young Master Sheng really dotes on your eldest daughter! The Si family is about to soar to new heights."
"Chairman Si, congratulations on gaining such a wonderful son-in-law as Young Master Sheng!"
Si Mingshan gave a polite smile. "I don't plan to announce this to the public for the time being, so please keep the news under wraps for now. I hope you can all do me the honor of attending the engagement banquet at the Si family home for a drink."
"Definitely, definitely."
"Congratulations, Mr. Si!"
"Chairman Si is truly blessed!"
"This is a great event for Ancheng. With Young Master Sheng's support, the Si family will now leave the Li family far behind."
"Speaking of which, why has Miss Si been constantly chasing after that eldest son of the Li family in the business world all these years? Do they have some deep-seated grudge?"
...
Ancheng was destined to have an extraordinary night.
Although news of the party was kept under wraps, it spread throughout the circle. The eldest daughter of the Si family is named Si Li, a major shareholder of Jiuxing Technology, and everyone is very curious about her.
Moreover, the story of Shanda's young master protecting his wife tonight has been spread in great detail.
When the news reached Si Nuan's ears, she was still at the hospital watching over Li Zhengyang.
He was badly injured and could only lie on his side, unable to get up.
These days, she always waits until midnight to secretly visit him at the hospital.
People in the circle speculated about the deep-seated hatred between them!
It's really deep!
Ten years of love, hate, and grudges!
Her slender fingertips gently stroked his thick eyebrows, and the man suddenly opened his eyes.
Si Nuan was startled and got up to leave.
...
On the other side, Sheng Tingxiao was in the car, comforting Lin Xiaoli all the way, and Lin Xiaoli fell asleep in his arms.
When they returned to the villa, as he carried Lin Xiaoli out of the car, she suddenly woke up and voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Why would Chairman Si say such things, referring to me as the eldest daughter of the Si family and calling me Si Li?"
Sheng Tingxiao looked at her intently and carried her steadily through the garden.
"Si Li is your new identity. From now on, you will be the eldest daughter of the Si family."
"The new ID will be delivered in the next couple of days."
Lin Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, "But I'm not, this is... deception."
Although she was four months older than Si Nuan, she didn't dare to take the position of the young lady.
"Tell me, do you want to marry me?" Sheng Tingxiao looked at her earnestly.
"I want to, but I don't want to use this self-deceptive method." Her attitude was somewhat firm.
Sheng Tingxiao slowly went upstairs and said another sentence.
"Xiao Li, you have a connection with the Si family, and you are worthy of the status of Miss Si."
"What do you mean?" she asked, puzzled.
"First, you saved the old lady of the Si family, which is a great favor to the Si family. She has always treated you like a granddaughter, so you are qualified to be the eldest daughter of the Si family."
"Secondly, do you know that your mother met Si Mingshan in Chuancheng twenty-five years ago?"
"Your father abused your mother in the first year of her marriage, and Si Mingshan even helped your mother."
"If she marries Si Mingshan, you will still be the eldest daughter of the Si family."
Initially, he only wanted to talk to Si Mingshan about cooperation, hoping to use his wealth and influence to pressure him into canceling the marriage with the Sheng family.
To his surprise, the results of the investigation were a pleasant surprise, and he now admired that "expert".
Tell me, will you marry him, or will your mother marry him?
Sheng Tingxiao looked confident and assured.
Lin Xiaoli stared in astonishment...
