Chapter 18



Chapter 18

When Guo Cheng insisted that Shen Ling abort the child, she had already thought of a countermeasure in advance.

When the driver took her to the operating room to wait, she paid the person behind her to change into her clothes and go in for the surgery, and then took the opportunity to run away.

The first thing she did after getting out of the situation was to look for Xu Yanwen, and she unexpectedly saw her in the parking lot. What she wished for came true.

Since God is helping her, she must protect this child even more.

Xu Yanwen rolled down the car window and placed the report upside down on the passenger seat.

"Ms. Xu, what a coincidence." Shen Ling smiled sweetly. The pear-shaped curls at the corners of her lips and the teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes added a lot of charm.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Yanwen had just cried and her voice sounded a little nasal.

Shen Ling glanced at the report on the passenger seat. If she guessed correctly, she must have come here for a physical examination. It was quite pitiful that she had been struggling to get pregnant for so many years.

"Ms. Xu, can I have a word with you?"

Xu Yanwen didn't find it funny, "It seems like you and I have nothing to talk about."

After she finished speaking, she rolled up the window and started the car to leave, but she heard Shen Ling say, "I'm pregnant, with Guo Cheng's child."

Xu Yanwen was startled, then she turned off the car and looked at her again, "What did you say?"

Xu Yanwen couldn't tell how she felt. If there hadn't been that report, she would probably have been furious. After all, the other party had forced her to abdicate with her son. No matter how tolerant she was, she would have to fight with her without caring about her dignity.

However, she had just finished reading the report and accepted the fact that it was impossible for her and Guo Cheng to have children.

Deep down she was actually relieved because now she wouldn't have the chance to let her child suffer because of her selfishness.

But now, she just thought it was ridiculous. How could a man who was born without sperm make a woman pregnant?

What’s funny is that Guo Cheng was sometimes fooled by others. Is this retribution?

Before Shen Ling showed up, she was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming divorce.

But at this moment, the other party seemed to give her an inspiration.

Shen Ling saw Xu Yanwen's deep thoughts as shock and helplessness. She said with some pride, "I said, I'm pregnant with Guo Cheng's child."

Xu Yanwen's eyes fell on her abdomen and asked, "How many months?"

Shen Ling looked at her calmly and asked about the month, and suddenly she felt so pitiful.

It seems that she has always known about her and Guo Cheng's affair. The reason she didn't care is probably because she felt it was unfair, after all, she herself would not give birth.

After this speculation, she became more confident, raised her chin slightly, and said as if to show off, "Three months."

"Does Guo Cheng know?"

"Of course he knew. He was the one who asked me to come for the prenatal check-up today." Shen Ling lied without changing her expression.

Xu Yanwen could see her guilty conscience from her curled up palms and sneered in her heart.

"Get in the car, let's talk somewhere else." Xu Yanwen unlocked the car door and motioned for her to get in.

Shen Ling was slightly surprised, as if she had not expected it to be so smooth. Moreover, Xu Yanwen remained so calm the whole time. Is this the upbringing of a rich girl? If it were someone else, they would have slapped her twice.

Just as she was wondering about Xu Yanwen's intention, the car drove into a private club and the two of them took the elevator directly to the private room.

After the waiter brought tea and snacks and left, Xu Yanwen started talking again: "You were the one who left the lipstick mark on Guo Cheng's cuffs, right?"

Shen Ling was stunned again. The other party spoke in a positive tone, indicating that she knew Guo Cheng's whereabouts very well. But why was she so calm? Didn't she deal with this kind of thing often?

Thinking of this, Shen Ling panicked.

Xu Yanwen saw through her thoughts at a glance, took a sip of tea elegantly, and said slowly: "You are not the first person to force the emperor to abdicate with his child."

These words made Shen Ling feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

"You knew you were pregnant but you still did strenuous exercise in the car. I don't think you value this child that much."

There was a hint of horror in Shen Ling's eyes. She actually knew even the details.

"What? Are you scared?" Xu Yanwen smiled faintly, and the pride in her eyes and eyebrows immediately made Shen Ling at a loss.

Shen Ling shook her head subconsciously.

"Do you think I'm cold-blooded? I know my husband is cheating on me, but I can still do nothing about it?"

Shen Ling nodded wildly in her heart.

"I guess if Guo Cheng knew you were pregnant, he would definitely ask you to abort the baby, right?"

"No, no, he won't." Shen Ling broke out in a cold sweat. Xu Yanwen was not as simple as she thought.

Xu Yanwen snorted and laughed, "If he doesn't know, then why did you come to me? Guo Cheng knows where my bottom line is. Any woman who has been with him will not be so bold as to come to me, unless he doesn't know."

Shen Ling began to tremble.

She had always thought that Xu Yanwen was an easy target to bully, so Guo Cheng dared to act so recklessly. But now, her whole aura and attitude revealed a sense of arrogance, and she didn't seem like a soft persimmon at all.

"Since you are her secretary and hold a high position, you should know very well who Guo Cheng relies on to get to where he is today. Do you really think you can get promoted by having a child, or even dream of replacing me?"

Shen Ling had indeed thought so, but that was before she came into contact with Xu Yanwen.

She had only seen her from a distance a few times before, and she seemed gentle and friendly, but the one in front of her was completely different.

"Guo Cheng and I got married because of love, but love is the most empty thing and will be worn away by time. The only thing that does not change is interests. For people like us, dignity is the most important. Even if I don't love him anymore, I will continue to live happily with him. Of course, some people find it difficult to understand this kind of dignity, so it is inevitable that I will do things that bring shame upon myself."

Tears of humiliation welled up in Shen Ling's eyes. Although he didn't mention her at all, every word was scolding her.

"If you have the ability, just keep the child. It won't affect me. By the way, Guo Cheng probably didn't tell you that if my father finds out about the illegitimate child, he will get nothing. So, you have to hide it well, or you will end up with nothing."

After Xu Yanwen finished speaking, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Shen Ling grabbed the corner of her clothes and knelt on the ground: "No, Miss Xu, I really want to keep this child, please help me, okay?"

Xu Yanwen looked puzzled: "Why should I help you? Don't you think you are being a little too much? This child is like a green hat on my head. Why should I humiliate myself?"

"Didn't you just say you don't love him? If you don't love him, then divorce him. This child is ironclad evidence of his extramarital affair, and he won't get a penny. Your interests still belong to you, and he hasn't taken them away."

Xu Yanwen sneered in her heart. Guo Cheng, who was lingering in the flowers, would never have thought that he would capsize in the perineum.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh my God, do you really love Guo Cheng? How could you frame him like this? What good would it do you if he had no money? Could it be that you two could really be in love forever?"

Shen Ling said truthfully: "As you said, love will disappear, but interests will not. I will help you get him out of the house. You give me 20 million. After that, I will abort the child and leave him."

Xu Yanwen guessed correctly that Guo Cheng's romantic nature was bound to make the women around him feel insecure, and she was certain that Guo Cheng did not intend to have this child.

Shen Ling probably wanted to force her to abdicate when she first approached her, but her indifference made her realize the reality, so she changed her mind. Instead of relying on others, it would be better to make money on her own.

The child is her last bargaining chip.

"I have a mountain of evidence of Guo Cheng's extramarital affair in my safe. Why should I spend money to buy it from you?"

"I also have evidence that Guo Cheng instigated me to steal company secrets. Not only can you divorce me, but you can also vent your anger for years of forbearance by having him spend the rest of his life in prison."

Xu Yanwen raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Guo Cheng would dare to steal the secrets.

Now thinking back on my father's subtle reminder, I realize that he was forbearing with all his might out of consideration for her feelings.

Otherwise, his father would have taken action directly and would not have allowed Guo Cheng to do this.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanwen silently clenched her hands. She was really unfilial.

"I can give you the money, but you have to follow my instructions. I don't want anything to happen to the child before it's done. Can you do that?"

"Sure, no problem."

Xu Yanwen's eyes were slightly dim, it was time to make a conclusion.

*

The next day at work, Xu Yinyin just sat down at her workstation and felt that the atmosphere in the company was a bit solemn. Xue Weiwei quickly gave her some basic knowledge while her supervisor was not there.

"Yinyin, you must be careful today. President Tang asked Zhao Xing's son to take over Zheng Yuan's position. Zhao Gang is even more harsh than Zheng Yuan. If he catches an employee making a mistake or slacking off at work, he will make things very difficult for you. If you see him later, you'd better stay away and don't get into trouble."

In fact, Xue Weiwei really wanted to remind her that Zhao Gang and Zheng Yuan were childhood friends, and he must know why Zheng Yuan resigned, and he wanted to avenge his good friend, so once he got the job, he would definitely go after Xu Yinyin.

But she couldn't, because that would expose the fact that everyone could hear her inner thoughts, so she could only remind him from the side.

Xu Yinyin nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you for the reminder."

[Xiao Qi, does this Zhao Gang have any melons? ]

Xue Weiwei immediately pricked up her ears.

[Let me see]

While the system was searching, Zhao Gang arrived. Xue Weiwei hurriedly reminded him, "He's here, he's here."

Everyone was forced to turn off the signal receiver for eating melons and pretend to be busy.

Xu Yinyin also quickly looked at the employee manual on the computer, pretending to look at it attentively, waiting for the system to respond.

Zhao Gang walked straight towards Xu Yinyin, his square face drooping into an awkward expression. He stood in front of her workstation with a gloomy look and asked condescendingly, "Are you Xu Yinyin?"

Xu Yinyin raised her eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, "Yes, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Zhao Gang sneered and ordered directly: "The bathroom in my office is blocked, go and clear it up."

Xu Yinyin explained in a good-tempered manner: "I remember that unclogging pipes is a cleaning job, so it shouldn't be done by the front desk."

[Damn you square-faced guy, you're so embarrassed, you actually dared to let me clean the toilet, I'll clean your big head ghost! ]

"You--" Zhao Gang's question was stuck in his throat.

At this moment, he finally understood Zheng Yuan's frustration. He could hear her thoughts, but he couldn't restore the original content. He couldn't even mention it. It was ridiculous!

[Oh my god, this guy's melon is so explosive, I'm totally shocked! ]

【Speak quickly, don’t breathe heavily! 】

[It turned out that his current wife was the one his brother-in-law cheated on with. Because she was afraid of being caught by his wife, she simply introduced her to his brother-in-law. Every time he went out, his wife would send messages to his brother-in-law. They kept having sex in their wedding room, changing positions and playing with every corner.]

Zhao Gang was petrified instantly.

[Oh my god, so arrogant? Is this the legendary keeping the wealth within the family? ]

The crowd of onlookers collectively held back their laughter. God damn, all the good stuff should be kept within the family!

The veins on Zhao Gangqi's forehead were throbbing with anger. He wanted to curse again, but was once again hit hard by the ban. He was numb!

[Also, he actually found out after they got married, so he beat his wife every day to vent his anger, and then he went out to find another man in a rage!]

The mouths of the onlookers were all shaped into "O"s with fear.

[Huh? !!!!] Xu Yinyin was shocked, [It just bends like this?]

[And he was the one below. After the first experience, it was like meeting true love. He immediately redeemed himself and bought a mansion to live with him. ]

[Oh my, oh my, you are so affectionate, you are definitely a great benefactor! ]

[But!] The system suddenly took a big turn, making the civets' curiosity spike.

But please say it all in one breath, don’t force me to kneel down and eat!

[His brother-in-law has pried her off again, and now the two of them are making love in the love nest he spent tens of millions of dollars to buy, and they don’t know what day it is.]

[Hey, what kind of hatred or grudge is this? You are cheating on a person, and you are killing both men and women. This is terrible! ]

"Ahhhhhh!" Zhao Gang let out a howl and left angrily with his fists raised high.

【Hey, why did he leave suddenly? 】

[Maybe he had to pee urgently, after all, the bathroom was broken. ]

The villains in the hearts of the crowd of onlookers have already laughed so hard that they are about to burst into laughter. They are in a fucking hurry to pee, and it is obvious that they are in a hurry to go back and catch the adulterer!

Hahahaha, the princess's melons are so big and so fragrant, ah!

Tang Wan, who witnessed the whole process at the door of the secretary's office, was shaking with anger. She thought that by bringing Zhao Gang here, she could kill Xu Yinyin's prestige, but it turned out that he also had some black material.

Is there no innocent person in this world?

"Mr. Tang, are you looking for me?" Sun Min was a little surprised by her sudden appearance.

Tang Wan quickly adjusted her mood, "I remember I have to meet the secretary of Shengda Group today. You can call Yinyin later and we will go together."

A hint of surprise flashed across Sun Min's eyes, and then she said hello.

Shengda and Fengyi have business dealings, and today's meeting is to sign a project contract worth 200 million yuan. For such an important occasion, President Tang actually wants to bring along Xu Yinyin, who knows nothing about it. It's hard for her not to think of conspiracy.

If Xu Yinyin's feelings make the other party unhappy, the project will fail. Then will the loss be counted on her and Xu Yinyin?

Xu Yinyin was sent by the chairman. Tang Wan's targeting could at most make the chairman feel that Xu Yinyin was not worthy of being employed. But if Tang Wan took the blame for her, she would not be able to compensate for the loss even if she lost everything she had.

For a moment, Sun Min was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Before she heard Xu Yinyin's thoughts, she always thought that Tang Wan was sharp, smart and intelligent, and that she was the one she admired and wanted to learn from. But now, she only thought that she was as vicious as a snake, cold and heartless.

Fortunately, she knew Xu Yinyin's identity in advance. Although she couldn't say it directly, she could still remind her indirectly.

"Yinyin, pack up, we are going to Shengda Group."

"Okay, Secretary Sun."

Xu Yinyin quickly packed up her things and followed Sun Min.

"Shengda is a major client of our company. Today we are going to sign the contract with President Tang. You don't have to do anything. Just watch more, talk less, and think less."

"Yeah, I know."

[I thought my aunt wouldn't assign me any important tasks, but she actually asked me to witness the birth of a 200 million contract. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!]

[Don't worry, you're just a receptionist anyway, you're not qualified to sign the contract. I think she must be afraid that you'll be left alone all the time, and the old man will have some opinions, so she occasionally takes you to high-end offices, so that you can gain experience, and when the old man asks about you, you can get your aunt to do the job, right? When it comes to being smooth and impeccable, your second aunt is still the best.]

[That’s why I say that with Second Uncle’s limited intelligence, he is no match for Second Aunt. He is simply completely outshined by her.]

Sun Min nodded vigorously in her heart, that's not the case, it would be unlucky for the old man to have such a timid kid on his side.

But what made her feel relieved was that Xu Yinyin was more cautious than she thought, and the thing she was talking to seemed to be very smart too, so her worries were a bit unnecessary.

Xu Yinyin looked at Sun Min who was leading the way in front, and suddenly felt emotional.

[Actually, Secretary Sun is quite good. It is a waste of her talent to work under Second Aunt. If she can be appreciated by Grandpa, not only will she be promoted at work, but the problem of her gambling husband can also be solved.]

Sun Min didn't expect that her affairs would be known, but when she thought of Xue Weiwei who was working at the next station to her, she understood. When she heard her suddenly mention it, she couldn't help but prick up her ears.

【How do you say it? 】

[I have always felt that her husband dared to let her shoulder the gambling debt, there must be someone with great advice, or even that all of this was manipulated, just to put her in a difficult situation and force her to work hard to pay it back. If the other party pushed her harder, it is not impossible that Secretary Sun would risk committing a crime in despair, because when people are in desperate situations, they will regard anything that appears in front of them as a life-saving straw, and they have no energy to think about whether this straw can save their lives or crush them to death.]

[No way, Secretary Sun looks quite kind, who would treat her like this? This person is too vicious! ]

[This is not difficult to guess. You just need to think about it the other way around and you will know who Secretary Sun is most useful to.]

[You - Second Aunt?] The system asked tentatively.

[Hmm, you also said that my second aunt is very good at dealing with people. The better she does her job on the surface, the more shady tricks she has behind the scenes. I often get sold out by her and still have to count the money with her.]

[Hey, this vicious woman! ]

Sun Min couldn't hear a word of the conversation between the two. Her mind was full of the first time that gambler came to the company to make trouble. Tang Wan directly mobilized the chairman's bodyguards to drive him away, and then sued him for provoking trouble and put him in detention for 15 days.

Sun Min was extremely grateful for this. Tang Wan even gave her the bodyguard captain's private phone number so that she could contact him directly if she had any problems, giving her enough sense of security.

From then on, Tang Wan showed more and more concern for her, and even promoted her to the position of secretary in the general manager's office. She also allocated her an apartment in the name of the company, so that her gambling husband could not find her and dared not come to the company to cause trouble again, allowing her to live a peaceful life for more than a year.

When the news came that the chairman had begun to draft a will, the whole company was in a panic. Some were ready to make moves, while others were secretly plotting. Her brief peace also completely disappeared because of the sudden gambling debt of tens of millions.

Although Tang Wan promised to help her find the whereabouts of the gambler, every time she asked, the other party said there was no news.

Now, considering Xu Yinyin's thoughts and recalling the details, I feel like a calculated lamb, just waiting for the hunter's knife to strike.

Today is a good warning.

Sun Min's legs suddenly went weak and he staggered.

Seeing this, Xu Yinyin quickly reached out to help him and asked with concern, "Secretary Sun, are you feeling unwell?"

Sun Min forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's probably low blood sugar. Just take a candy."

She was about to take candy from the bag with trembling hands, but Xu Yinyin handed her a cat head candy first.

The lifelike little cat's head lay quietly in her palm, small but extremely cute and warm.

To be precise, Xu Yinyin is just a pampered young lady, but she can always say wise words that make people's eyes light up.

And she, who had been working in the workplace for many years, was getting worse and worse, and had lost even the most basic defenses.

You know, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a villain or a thief!

"Thank you, Yinyin." Sun Min looked at her with sincerity in her eyes.

"It's just a candy. You're welcome, Secretary Sun. Thank you for taking care of me at work." Xu Yinyin suddenly lowered her voice, "I know you're using the stove to slack off. I should be the one to say thank you."

Sun Min smiled knowingly and held the candy tightly, as if it were a real life-saving straw.

After everyone got on the car, it drove towards its destination.

Tang Wan said caringly, "Don't be nervous, Yinyin. Just follow Secretary Sun and learn well. You will come to such occasions more often in the future."

In one sentence, the boss not only showed his compassion for his subordinates, but also pointed out his desire to cultivate them.

If Sun Min had any jealousy, she should have regarded Xu Yinyin as her rival and been on guard against her.

Xu Yinyin really wanted to applaud her aunt.

[See, what did I say? My second aunt knows how to stir up trouble. If I were Secretary Sun, I would be on guard against Xu Yinyin. After all, President Tang is planning to cultivate her beyond her level.]

Tang Wan gritted her teeth silently and glanced at Sun Min calmly.

To her surprise, Sun Min was also looking at her.

The moment their eyes met, she seemed to see a different gentleness in Sun Min's eyes, like a cat that suddenly grew sharp claws and was licking its claws gently, giving her the feeling that it would jump up and bite you in the next second.

Tang Wan couldn't help but frown. Did Xu Yinyin say something to her?

That shouldn't be the case. She was the only one who knew that she had used the other party's gambling husband to set up a trap to kidnap and kill Sun Min. Could it be that the system could have snooped into it?

No, the melon-eating system focuses on gossip, how could it have such ability? She has lost the help of many people who were looking for trouble with Xu Yinyin, and she is a little nervous.

Damn Xu Yinyin, you'll mess up the cooperation by eating melons later, and then you'll be recycled by this old man.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan's depressed mood suddenly cleared up.

After arriving at the destination, Sun Min helped Tang Wan get off the car, and then followed Xu Yinyin into the elevator behind her.

Led by the other party's secretary, the group went straight to the conference room where the other party's negotiating personnel were already in place.

Xu Yinyin took a look at the other team's lineup, one woman and four men. The woman sat in the C position, with long wavy hair down to her waist and exquisite Hong Kong retro makeup. She made people feel like they had traveled back to Hong Kong in the 1980s. She was such a bright and classical beauty, YYDS, slurp!

There were two men sitting on each side of the beautiful sister, both of them were dressed in neat suits and white shirts, looking like elites.

But compared to the common big bellies and bald hair of the senior executives, the four men in front of him were tall and handsome, and they didn't look too old, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

[Wow, I thought the people who can make the decision on a billion-dollar contract would have to be at least 50 years old and at the management level, but I didn’t expect them to be young handsome men and beautiful women. Slurp! ]

[Don't be too busy slurping, I call this battle between the other party: fishing for the queen and her minions! ]

[Huh? One versus four? Come on, tell me more!]

Xu Yinyin brought out a small stool and sat down to eat melon. (Fly rubbing her hands.JPG.)
