"Second Uncle!"
Shangguan Wan's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with barely suppressed anger.
She walked quickly to Shangguan Cheng, her beautiful eyes fixed on him as if trying to see right through him.
"What exactly do you want?!"
Her voice trembled slightly with anger.
The crystal chandelier in the living room cast a cold light, making Shangguan Wan's face appear even paler.
Shangguan Cheng slowly put down his wine glass, his movements elegant and composed, as if he had everything under control.
He looked up at Shangguan Wan, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Wan'er, why are you so agitated?"
He spoke slowly and deliberately, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"What else can I do? Of course, I'll... get the formula for your new product and then hand it over to other companies."
He deliberately dragged out his words, each one like a knife, stabbing deeply into Shangguan Wan's heart.
"you!"
Shangguan Wan was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Shangguan Cheng, her fingers shaking violently.
"We are all members of the Shangguan family, why are you doing this?!"
Her voice already carried a hint of a sob.
She couldn't understand why the bond of blood, thicker than water, could be so vulnerable in the face of self-interest.
The smile on Shangguan Cheng's face vanished instantly.
Instead, a chilling coldness pervaded the air.
He suddenly stood up, walked up to Shangguan Wan, and looked down at her.
"Why?"
He sneered, his voice filled with resentment.
"What makes you, a woman, qualified to be the president of Fengling Group?!"
His voice suddenly rose, making the entire living room buzz.
"The Shangguan family should have been mine all along!"
His eyes burned with a fierce fire of jealousy.
For so many years, he has lived in the shadow of his older brother, Shangguan Hong.
He was clearly more capable and decisive than Shangguan Hong, but his father always favored his older brother who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
His heart was already filled with resentment.
He hated Shangguan Hong, hated his father, and hated the niece in front of him even more for taking away everything that should have belonged to him!
"My brother doesn't understand anything, he's not fit to manage the company at all! I'm the most suitable person, I'm the one who should be at the helm of Fengling Group!"
Shangguan Cheng's voice was hoarse and frantic, like that of a wounded wild beast.
He always believed that Shangguan Hong had taken his position.
He always believed that he was the most outstanding heir of the Shangguan family.
But reality slapped him hard in the face.
Father actually handed the company over to Shangguan Wan, this greenhorn girl!
How could he accept this?
Looking at her second uncle's ferocious face, Shangguan Wan felt a chill run down her spine.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited emotions.
"Second Uncle, the reason I became the president of Fengling Group is not for my own sake, but for the development of the entire Shangguan family!"
Her voice was firm and powerful.
Why are you pressing me so hard?!
Her eyes were filled with disappointment and pain.
She didn't understand why her second uncle had become like this.
Is all he wants just the CEO position?
Shangguan Cheng sneered, his face full of disdain.
"Not for your own sake?"
He said dismissively.
"You might be able to fool a three-year-old with something like that, but do you think I'd believe it?"
"Not for personal reasons? I could say that too!"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
He didn't believe Shangguan Wan's nonsense at all.
In his view, everything Shangguan Wan did was to consolidate her own position and satisfy her own selfish desires.
Shangguan Wan looked at Shangguan Cheng, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.
She knew that no matter what she said, Shangguan Cheng would not believe her.
His heart has been blinded by power and desire.
The kinship between them had long since vanished.
Qin Yang stood aside, quietly watching all of this.
He didn't speak, but silently tightened his grip on Shangguan Wan's hand.
He knew that what Shangguan Wan needed most at that moment was not comfort, but support.
He will always stay by her side and face everything with her.
Shangguan Wan took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm.
"Second Uncle, as long as you sign the agreement now and guarantee that you will not hand over the formula of the new product to other companies, I will pretend that nothing happened."
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
She desperately hoped that her second uncle could turn back and that they could still be a family.
The corridor lights were dim, casting dappled shadows on the walls, much like her broken heart at that moment.
Shangguan Cheng shook his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Wan'er, you are still too naive."
He spoke slowly and deliberately.
“I have already handed the formula over to the Xue Group. Do you think the Xue family will slink back to Ninghai in such a sorry state?”
He paused deliberately, admiring the gradual loss of color from Shangguan Wan's face.
"They contacted me a long time ago!"
His voice was filled with pride and satisfaction.
Looking at Shangguan Wan, Shangguan Cheng felt a surge of vengeful pleasure.
This is what happens when you go against him!
He had been waiting for this day for a very long time!
This is also the reason why he suddenly resigned yesterday.
Only by cooperating with the Xue Group and leaving the Fengling Group can suspicion be eliminated to the greatest extent possible.
