Shen Yan screamed at the top of her lungs, "It was my grandfather who saved your life! It was my grandfather who gave you your status and wealth today! Without him, without our Shen family, you, Lu Zheng, are nothing!"
She frantically pounded on Lu Zheng's chest, as if trying to wake him up.
"You can't be an ungrateful wretch! It's only right that you help the Shen family, and our wedding should be held immediately! Lu Zheng, let me tell you, you will never be able to repay the Shen family's kindness to you!"
Lu Zheng grabbed her hand and ruthlessly shook it off.
Shen Yan crashed directly into the bodyguard's arms, and tears immediately streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Lu Zheng said, "Your Shen family's appetite is far too great. I never do business at a loss."
He took out his phone.
"Besides, you were the one who broke off the engagement first. Do I need to release the recording of you agreeing to Lu Jianhua's proposal?"
"No!" Shen Yan stared at the phone in horror, trying to snatch it away, but was restrained by the bodyguards. She angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are? A bunch of dogs dare to block my way?"
The bodyguards remained unmoved by Shen Yan's insults and threats, standing like stubborn rocks in front of her.
Lu Zheng nodded to Xie Yan, "It seems Miss Shen still doesn't understand whose fiancée she is. She needs to wake up."
Xie Yan immediately took out his phone and made a call, "I'll send you a recording shortly, send it out right away..."
"Lu Zheng, I am your fiancée!" Shen Yan shouted hysterically, drowning out Xie Yan's voice.
The gossip reporter on the other end of the phone was startled. "What...what happened? Are you sure you want to expose us?"
Xie Yan glanced at Lu Zheng's expression and said decisively, "Yes, send it immediately."
Shen Yan's eyes reddened even more, "Lu Zheng, are you trying to force me to my death..."
Lu Zheng remained unmoved. He glanced at the elevator doors as they opened and slowly raised the marriage certificate with one hand. "It seems Miss Shen doesn't understand her place."
"..." Shen Yan hiccuped, her trembling finger pointing at the marriage certificate, "You have it in your hand, can't you see it clearly? I'm yours..."
She was about to call out the word "wife" when she was startled by Lu Zheng's actions.
Under Lu Zheng's slender fingers, the rosewood picture frame carved with dragon and phoenix patterns broke easily.
Immediately afterwards, splinters of wood fell to the ground, but the marriage certificate remained in Lu Zheng's hand.
Shen Yan's mind was buzzing. "Lu Zheng, what... what are you going to do..."
Lu Zheng did not answer, but held the marriage certificate in his hands.
"Sizzle—"
A crack appeared in the marriage certificate, reflected in Shen Yan's dark pupils, as if a knife had cleaved her soul and spirit.
Lu Zheng curled his lips into a cruel smile. Under Shen Yan's blank stare, he continued to tear at the marriage certificate until the thick stack of papers was small enough and difficult to tear, at which point he flung it away.
Like flowers detached from branches by a raging storm, the red paper fluttered down from the top of the smoke-filled sky.
"Lu Zheng, are you crazy!" Shen Yan reached out in panic and anxiety to catch the scraps of paper. "This is our marriage certificate!"
A few scraps of paper landed in the pale palm, while more scattered and messy pieces flew around, covering the ground.
"Marriage certificate? What marriage certificate?" Lu Zheng completely turned his back on him.
He didn't know where Old Master Shen had hidden the marriage certificate, so from deliberately calling Shen Yan "cousin-in-law" yesterday, to later blocking Shen Yan's contact information, and then ignoring Shen Yan for most of the day today, he was forcing her to bring the marriage certificate to him and force her to marry him.
This marriage certificate was extremely offensive to him, and he could not allow it to continue to exist. He had to completely erase the marriage contract and break free from this shackle.
Looking at the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, Lu Zheng felt a sense of relief.
There were better ways to repay Grandpa Shen back then, but Grandpa Shen refused and insisted that he get engaged to Shen Yan.
He had thought about canceling the engagement many times, and this moment finally brought it to fruition.
At this moment, my heart is pounding with joy, and I wish I could fly back to Qiao Zhen's side right now.
"Army Aviation".
Lu Zheng spoke, uttering a name without any emotion.
Shen Yan trembled all over.
Lu Zheng said, "Your fiancée came to the company and caused a scene, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," a young man with a lewd face walked over, bowing and scraping. "Brother, don't be angry, I'll take her away right now! Please don't hold a grudge against a woman."
Lu Hang is Lu Jianhua's youngest son, a typical good-for-nothing rich kid whose best skills are all written in the criminal law.
He glared at Chen Yan angrily, then reached out and pulled her, "Stop making a scene, it's really embarrassing. Aren't you coming back with me right now?!"
"Get away!" Shen Yan disgustedly shook off Lu Hang's hand, clutching her chest and feeling nauseous. "Don't touch me!"
She stumbled a few steps, knelt on the ground, and rummaged through the scraps of paper with her hands.
"Lu Zheng, no matter what you do, our engagement will never be broken. I am your wife!"
"Damn it..." Lu Hang cursed impatiently, "How dare you cheat on me in front of me! Do you think the Shen family can go back to what it used to be, and you're still the enviable eldest daughter of the Shen family? It's your good fortune that I'm willing to marry a down-on-her-luck woman like you, don't you understand?"
As he spoke, he tugged at Chen Yan again.
Actually, he didn't really want to touch this stupid woman.
Not to mention that Shen Yan's appearance is not particularly outstanding, there are many young models he has slept with who are prettier and have better figures than her.
But who told his own father to be so ungrateful and anger Lu Zheng, resulting in disaster and him currently sitting in the police station?
Seeing that their family was about to suffer a great calamity and that his carefree life as a rich second-generation was about to end, he had no choice but to cling to Lu Zheng's coattails.
Lu Zheng pointed east; he dared not go west.
He glanced cautiously at Lu Zheng, then grabbed Shen Yan's arm more fiercely, twisted it behind her back, and dragged her towards the elevator. "My mom wants to meet you, her future daughter-in-law, and also to teach you some manners! This is outrageous..."
Shen Yan was no match for a normal-sized adult man and was dragged into the elevator.
The elevator doors slowly closed, silencing her cries.
Lu Zheng's ears finally had some peace and quiet. He calmly instructed Xie Yan, "There's no need to rush to release the quality inspection report. Control the public opinion, especially suppress some unnecessary trending topics."
He didn't want these trivial matters to bother Qiao Zhen.
Thinking of Qiao Zhen, her cold and hardened heart softened instantly when facing Chen Yan and the others.
Lu Zheng finished his work as quickly as possible and returned to the resort.
Because of Qiao Zhen's reminder text message, even though he was eager to get home, he still obeyed the traffic rules and drove carefully.
The rain was still falling. He didn't bother to open his umbrella and ran quickly into the villa, but his hair and suit were still soaked.
Hearing the commotion, Qiao Zhen came out to greet him. Seeing the water droplets on Lu Zheng's hair, she quickly grabbed a dry towel, placed it on his head, and gently rubbed it. "Why didn't you use an umbrella? Be careful not to get wet and catch a cold."
Qiao's mother and caregiver Deng both looked over.
Under their gazes, Lu Zheng embraced her openly, his dark eyes filled with tenderness, "Because I missed you so much."
