The ward fell into a deathly silence.
A storm was brewing in Zhou Yanci's eyes.
A month ago, he was still the spirited president of Chengzhou, in control of the company and Shangwu.
But now, he can only bow his head before Shang Wu, even though she has blatantly harmed his child.
Zhou Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and he had to loosen his tie to catch his breath.
He didn't look into Chenmian's desperate eyes, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of weakness: "Fine, you're right. This child wasn't even born yet, but he was already a well-known illegitimate child. His death was destined."
"A-Ci! What are you saying! That was a precious life! Your son's life!"
Chenmian shouted anxiously.
Zhou Yanci glanced at her coldly, her gaze carrying a stern warning: "Enough. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have touched you? This child was conceived by accident, so it's normal that he's gone now. He shouldn't have been born."
"What, what did you say?"
Chenmian was stunned by his words and froze on the bed.
Shang Wu chuckled lightly: "Take a good rest, Miss Shen. If Yan Ci can't afford the medical bills, I'll pay them."
Zhou Yanci clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white, and closed her eyes.
He had never experienced such humiliating words and such a stifling feeling before.
Shang Wu admired his restrained expression and Zhou's mother's distraught look, and raised an eyebrow: "Well then, I'll be going now. You two can continue your conversation."
She turned and left.
The moment Shang Wu walked out, Zhou's mother grabbed Zhou Yanci and ordered, word by word, "After you marry her, take back all the assets—the shares, Chengzhou, and the branch we set up for her—and then throw her away! Our Zhou family can't keep such a vicious woman!"
Zhou Yanci kept his head down and didn't speak, his expression dark and complicated, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at that moment.
Zhou's mother was both angry and anxious: "Are you stupid! Did you hear what I said?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci snapped out of her daze and gave her a deep look.
"Is this my retribution?"
Zhou's mother was taken aback: "What do you mean?!"
Zhou Yanci smiled, but there was no light in her eyes: "Yes, this should be my retribution."
He pushed Zhou's mother's hand away and left, dejected and heartbroken.
Watching his figure disappear through the ward door, Chenmian felt a pang of anger in her chest.
She went through so much trouble, even losing the child, only to receive such a lukewarm response from Zhou Yanci.
She can't accept it!
Chenmian gritted her teeth and found the photos saved on her phone.
As she looked at the intimate photos of Shang Wu and Lu Rang, her gaze gradually turned cold.
With her child gone, she also lost the leverage Shang Wu had over her, and now she could do whatever she wanted without restraint.
Even so, Shang Wu must not know that she did it.
This woman is too vengeful; who knows what methods she will use to retaliate?
Then send the photos to people who also hate Shang Wu.
With a smirk, Chenmian found a contact number and sent the photo.
Shang Wu returned home, let Lu Rang know she was safe, and then went to take a shower.
After she came out, she put the men's scarf into the closet.
Hanging together with the scarf were Lu Rang's two coats.
Shang Wu smiled, took out her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Lu Rang.
A few seconds later, she received a reply from Lu Rang.
【nice. 】
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow and replied, "If you want to brag about your fashion sense, just say so."
Lu Rang replied instantly: 【I meant she's good-looking.】
Shang Wu was stunned for a moment, and after checking the photo she had just taken, she realized that she had accidentally included herself in the picture.
The half-full-length mirror in the photo shows her wearing a nightgown, her hair half-wet, and her bare face.
Shang Wu gripped her phone tightly, hearing her heart pounding like a drum at home.
She didn't reply to Lu Rang; she went to rest.
the next day.
Shang Wu went to work at the company.
It was quiet on Zhou Yanci's side; I wonder what she was doing.
Shang Wu has been too busy lately to care about his current attitude.
Since the investigation into the merchant's case has been reopened, she now finds it difficult even to give Zhou Yanci a smile.
Shang Wu was busy all day, finalizing projects with several partners and holding a video conference to report on the current progress.
Upon hearing that the project had been finalized, the shareholders were very satisfied and made no secret of their praise for Shang Wu during the video call.
"If it weren't for President Shang's efforts to turn the tide, the company would have collapsed when Zhou Yanci got into trouble and was embroiled in scandal last time."
"Now that the company's new project has been secured, the expected revenue is enough to cover the losses from the previous stock price decline, and we'll be able to make money and distribute dividends again in the second quarter. Mr. Shang is really great."
Looking at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces on the screen, Shang Wu leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and smiled meaningfully.
"Even if I can make money for you, it's only temporary. Yanci should be back by the end of this month."
After hearing this, the smiles of the shareholders faded slightly.
Shang Wu took in their reactions: "There is no jewelry department at headquarters right now, and the branch's profit settlement will take another two months. Hopefully, once he takes office at the end of the month, he can make you a lot of money."
The shareholders have absolutely no trust in Zhou Yanci now. They not only question his abilities but are also afraid that he will have another affair with another woman.
They don't want to see the stock price fall again.
Thinking of this, someone blurted out: "After you get married, you won't distinguish between you and me anymore. Doesn't it matter who sits in the CEO position?"
“Exactly, it doesn’t mean that Zhou Yanci will take over just because they’re married, right?” Others chimed in.
