nA strange silence filled the scene.
n
nEveryone stared at Xiao Lingyu in disbelief, as if they were looking at an alien.
n
nPreviously, they thought Xiao Lingyu did everything for Chen Ran. But now they realized Xiao Lingyu had merely dug a huge pit for those who harmed her to jump into it.
n
nThere was nothing more terrifying than a woman scorned. They would destroy the world to get revenge.
n
nZhao Huiqing glared at Xiao Lingyu with a hateful gaze. He pointed his trembling finger at Xiao Lingyu and cursed angrily, “Xiao Lingyu, you are the most venomous woman I have ever met! It was Chen Ran who had betrayed you, so you should take revenge on him. Why did you have to bring the Zhao Family into this? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”
n
nXiao Lingyu was unfazed by Zhao Huiqing’s burning rage. She shrugged and told the man, “Who said I’m not taking revenge on him? Have you forgotten that Chen Ran is your son-in-law? His well-being is closely related to you and the Zhao Family! The only way for him to lose power is to ensure that the Zhao Family falls as well.”
n
nThe crowd widened their mouth in shock. They were shocked by how ruthless Xiao Lingyu was. The reason Xiao Lingyu asked Chen Ran to marry Zhao Wenman was in preparation for this moment?
n
nAt that moment, quite a few people agreed with Zhao Huiqing. Xiao Lingyu was also the most venomous woman they had ever met.
n
nZhao Huiqing’s face was white. And then it turned red. His body was under so much pressure that he was on the verge of collapsing.
n
nIf it weren’t for Secretary Lin supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
n
nSecretary Lin called out worriedly, “Chairman, you have to hang in there!” Secretary Lin spoke up for her boss. “Miss Xiao, you should seek revenge with those who did you wrong. Since it was Chen Ran who betrayed you for his ambition, he should be your target. Why do you have to involve the innocent?”
n
nXiao Lingyu’s lips curled into an incredulous smile. “Secretary Lin, you are absolutely right. I am only targeting those who did me wrong.
n
n“If Zhao Wenman didn’t seduce Chen Ran with the promise of a bright future and money, would Chen Ran betray me? And how did Zhao Wenman manage to use those things to tempt Chen Ran? Was it not because she was born into a good family and had a father who pampered her endlessly?
n
n“However, all that is fine. I admit defeat since Chen Ran has chosen to betray our decade-long relationship for these frivolous things. I am never one to force things that shouldn’t be.
n
n“However, Zhao Wenman didn’t want to let me go. She wanted to destroy me. She used horrendous methods to drug me and ruin my reputation. She left a huge scar on my mental health.
n
n“If Zhao Huiqing hadn’t indulged in her daughter for her to become so arrogant, Zhao Wenman wouldn’t dare to do something like this.
n
n“If I didn’t have a strong mental constitution, I would have crumbled from the false accusations.
n
n“So, Secretary Lin, let me ask you then. Have I implicated anyone innocent?”
n
nSecretary Lin instantly fell silent.
n
nXiao Lingyu was right.
n
nIf Zhao Wenman had only stolen Chen Ran away from Xiao Lingyu, it wouldn’t be so serious. Even Xiao Lingyu had admitted defeat because she couldn’t keep her man.
n
nFurthermore, although Chen Ran and Xiao Lingyu were in a relationship for a decade, they weren’t married. They had the right to pursue a different love.
n
nHowever, Zhao Wenman crossed the line. She was too callous and her heart too dark. Zhao Wenman had already stolen Chen Ran away from Xiao Lingyu. She should have stopped at that. However, she did not.
n
nAnyone would be furious if they were placed in Xiao Lingyu’s shoes. So if they were given the same chance, would they not take revenge? No.
n
nSo in short, the Zhao Family only had themselves to blame for losing Huiqing Group and everything.
n
nXiao Lingyu looked at the silent Secretary Lin. “Aren’t Chen Ran and Miss Zhao truly in love? Then I will give them my blessing and even make them tie the knot. Since they can share their wealth together, I am sure they will share their hardships together too! Secretary Lin, what do you think?”
n
nWhat could secretary Lin say?
n
nShe could not say anything.
n
nBecause everything that Xiao Lingyu said was the truth.
n
nXiao Lingyu’s biggest revenge on Chen Ran was to make Zhao Wenman lose everything.
n
nWithout money, without power, without a lover with a strong background, this was a devastating blow for a young man with ambitions in his career. The person who did this to him was the woman who had once loved him dearly.
n
nChen Ran could not accept the truth. He could not believe Xiao Lingyu would be so merciless towards him. His face paled, and he staggered back. He almost fell to the ground.
n
nThe pain was plain on his face.
n
nHe had never thought that Xiao Lingyu would betray him.
n
nChen Ran looked at Xiao Lingyu with a disappointed gaze. He shook his head and said in disbelief, “Yu ‘Er, you’re joking with me, right? How could you hate me that much? And chose to use this method to take revenge on me? I admit that I’ve wronged you by hooking up with Zhao Wenman.
n
n“But you’re still the woman I love the most. After I marry Zhao Wenman and become the new chairman, this company will be in my hands. On the day I control this company, I will divorce Zhao Wenman to marry you. We will have a happy life together.
n
n“I was only thinking about our future together. Yu ‘Er, how can you destroy all of that? You are destroying your own happy future! Why can’t you understand my hard effort?” Chen Ran was hysterical.
n
nChen Ran shocked everyone with his words. He had proven to everyone again how big of a scumbag he was.
n
nXiao Lingyu was right in her assessment of the man. He was the biggest scumbag in the world.
n
nChen Ran had an ulterior motive to be together with Zhao Wenman. He never even liked her. He was only after her father’s company. The man… was terrifying.
n
nBefore anyone could say anything, there was the sound of a knife stabbing into flesh. With a gurgle, blood gushed out.
n
n“Chen Ran, you bastard, I’m going to kill you!” Zhao Wenman held a fruit knife and stabbed it straight into Chen Ran’s chest.
n
nThe blood sprayed on Zhao Wenman, but she didn’t seem to feel it at all.. She pulled out the knife and charged at Xiao Lingyu without warning. Zhao Wenman screamed, “Xiao Lingyu, you bitch, die!”
