Chapter 22: Chapter 22 The Heir to Shengshi Group Chapter 22: Chapter 22 The Heir to Shengshi Group “Miss Nianyou, you… you are indeed just like Madam, too kind-hearted, too soft-hearted! Even after Chuyi has slandered you like this, you still say she harbors no ill will and speak so well of her, leaving me feeling utterly worthless! Compared to such a generous and kind-hearted person as you, Chuyi is simply nothing!”
Lin Yueqin was nearly in tears, “Madam, the child you have raised is truly unlike any other; Miss Nianyou has the heart of a Buddha just like you. Unlike me, I failed to raise my daughter properly, letting her wander into the wrong path, and it’s all my fault!”
Lady Wen glanced at Wen Nianyou, and at last, a gentle smile appeared on her pale face. Her eyes were filled with pride, radiating a sense of shared glory.
She patted Lin Yueqin’s hand and spoke softly, “Don’t blame yourself, you shouldn’t feel guilty. Youyou was raised by you since she was little. As for Chuyi… indeed, she hasn’t received much care. We’ll just have to teach her well from now on. Since Youyou has no intention of pursuing the matter further, let’s let it be this time!”
“Madam’s great kindness and virtue, we will never forget! Lin Chuyi, aren’t you going to thank Madam and the young lady!”
Lin Yueqin, following the words, slapped Lin Chuyi hard on the back, causing her to stagger and nearly hit the corner of the table.
Her back was burning with the pain of the slap, but Lin Chuyi didn’t react. She stared blankly at Lady Wen, feeling the pain in her heart growing stronger.
Strange, why is it so?
Lady Wen doesn’t believe her, but trusts her own daughter. Isn’t that perfectly normal? Then why does she feel so upset?
“What, you didn’t hear me when I spoke to you? Have you gone deaf? Hurry up and thank Miss Nianyou, and then kneel down and apologize to her! Without Miss Nianyou’s magnanimity, you would be dead by now, do you understand that?”
Lin Yueqin continued to chatter on, when suddenly she was pushed aside by someone. She snapped irritably, “Who is it, pushing me for what! Are you blind?!”
After she finished shouting, and saw who it was, she immediately froze in place.
This man, tall and straight in stature, with a handsome and three-dimensional face, was wearing a suit that was perfectly tailored and of the highest craftsmanship, even better than Mr. Wen’s custom suits!
He carried an imposing aura, with an aloof and noble demeanor, followed by a muscular and composed bodyguard.
Lin Yueqin, who had spent many years in the Wen Family, had developed an excellent eye for discerning status and saw instantly that this man must be of noble identity. She quickly put on a smile and in a thin, soft voice said, “Sir, are you here to see someone? May I ask for your esteemed surname?”
The man didn’t even glance at her, as if she simply didn’t exist.
He stepped past Lin Yueqin, moved forward, and grabbed Lin Chuyi’s wrist: “The three days are up; it’s time to register our marriage.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone there was shocked, looking at him in disbelief.
Lin Yueqin felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mouth gaping open, motionless!
She saw Lin Chuyi’s wrist grasped by this distinguished man and couldn’t believe it! When had Lin Chuyi hooked up with such a handsome and noble man?! And how could she have had no clue at all!
Qi Yunfan had already let go of Wen Nianyou, his brow furrowed, feeling tremendously uncomfortable.
It had been only a few days since Lin Chuyi had broken up with him; how could she now be registering her marriage with another man! Could it be that she had cheated on him from the beginning?
Wen Nianyou was both shocked and angry. This man who suddenly appeared carried an irritating charisma, was irritatingly handsome! More majestic and attractive than anyone she had ever met! And this man was about to take Lin Chuyi to register their marriage?! Why should he!
Lady Wen looked at Sheng Tingyuan’s nearly perfect profile, but her expression was filled with a trace of doubt and uncertainty. Isn’t this the son of the Sheng Family? How could he be involved with Lin Chuyi…
For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Wen Nianyou kicked Lin Yueqin again.
Lin Yueqin snapped back to reality. Right, she couldn’t let Lin Chuyi register her marriage with this man!
She began to yell again: “Register what marriage? You must be an actor hired by Lin Chuyi, right? Despite your good looks, I didn’t expect you to be involved in scams! Officer, this man is a con artist, he specializes in pretending to be fiancés to help people out for money! Hurry up and arrest him!”
However, the police had already received Sheng Tingyuan’s business card and knew of his identity and responded curtly, “Stop your senseless shouting, you haven’t spoken a single truth! This Mr. Sheng is the heir to Shengshi Group. Do you think he’s interested in that little bit of money?”
“Sheng… Shengshi Group! The heir?!”
Lin Yueqin’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets: “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
