Chapter 91: The Little Matter of Marrying You

Over these past few days of passing messages back and forth, Shi Yuke had also gained a crystal-clear understanding of the situation within the Sheng Family.

According to Sheng Hai's plan, once Sheng Yukai was released, the father and son would completely drive Sheng Hanyu out of the Sheng Family, not even allowing him the opportunity to go to the Northwest as written in the "will."

This was to cut Sheng Hanyu off entirely, not giving him the slightest chance to catch his breath!

Then Sheng Yukai would be the newly appointed Chairman of the Sheng Family, and the entire Sheng Family would be firmly under his control.

Therefore, Shi Yuke's mindset also changed; from initially wanting to use Sheng Yukai to help her marry Sheng Hanyu, she directly shifted to wanting to marry Sheng Yukai instead.

One was the future Chairman of the Sheng Family, with a future that was limitless.

The other was a fallen phoenix that was worse than a chicken; as for which was heavier and which was lighter, the scale in Shi Yuke's heart had long since weighed it out clearly.

What's more, she didn't have zero feelings for Sheng Yukai; if it were just for utility, she wouldn't have risked going to the police station to deliver a message.

It was just that now that the request had been made, she wasn't very certain whether Sheng Yukai would go back on his word.

Sheng Yukai laughed heartily and pulled Shi Yuke into his arms: "I thought it was something serious. Just this little thing? Fine, I'll marry you."

"Really?"

Happiness came too suddenly, so suddenly that she dared not believe it was real.

"Of course it's real, but you have to let me get my fill first..."

"Disgusting."

Sheng Yukai was impatient, and Shi Yuke was half-reluctant, half-willing.

That evening, Shi Yuke didn't leave; she called home to "ask for leave," telling her father she was staying at her cousin Jiang Siwei's house, and managed to fool him.

All night long, she used every skill she had to please Sheng Yukai, dreaming that in the near future, she would become the Chairman's Wife.

Jian Yining Villa.

The three people looked at Sheng Hanyu, their eyes revealing a familiar yet sympathetic gaze!

After that great fire five years ago, he had been in this state, only that time he had held on for longer, whereas this time he had recovered in just three days.

Of course, this time it was Yingzi's credit; the reason they drew lots to decide who to send to bring Sheng Hanyu out was because none of the men had any confidence.

They had assumed it would take Yingzi a long time to get Sheng Hanyu to come out, or that the most likely outcome was returning empty-handed!

That she was so efficient was one of the surprises for the men.

The second surprise was that in just three short days, Sheng Hanyu had reduced himself to this state, neither human nor ghost.

"How could Sheng Yukai be completely fine?" Sheng Hanyu's brow was furrowed so tightly it could crush a fly.

Jian Yining said: "Zhang went to the police station to surrender and overturned everything he had said before. He claimed the will was real, that the old man had wanted to leave the Sheng Family to Sheng Yukai before this, and that his first statement was all at your instigation, and that you forced him to say it."

Mentioning this, the group was furious.

Especially Yun Zhe Hao, who was so angry he couldn't even speak, and for the past two days, he hadn't even wanted to talk to his wife.

The reason was simple: his wife, Ma Ling'er, was Zhang's granddaughter, and his wife had been implicated as well.

"Anything else?"

Sheng Hanyu knew things wouldn't be this simple, as this alone wouldn't be enough to get Sheng Yukai released.

The group spoke all at once, one word after another, and managed to explain everything that had happened within the three days.

All valuable clues in the main residence had been completely destroyed due to the firefighting efforts; Sheng Yukai explained that having the servants keep their stories consistent was to reduce unnecessary trouble.

Regarding the "will," because Zhang took the initiative to go to the police station to admit his mistake, Sheng Yukai was cleared of suspicion.

Although the signature at the crematorium wasn't Sheng Hanyu's, it wasn't Sheng Yukai's either; Sheng Hai took the blame for this, saying he had discussed it with Sheng Jiang and that the brothers had decided it together.

And when they investigated Sheng Jiang, Sheng Jiang actually admitted it outright, saying he knew about it and had indeed agreed to it!

Just like that, not only was all suspicion against Sheng Yukai cleared, but tomorrow they were going to hold a press conference to drive Sheng Hanyu out of the Sheng Family, and the reasons were already prepared.

Things like plotting to seize the Sheng Family's assets, harming his brother during the chaos... in short, they were pinning everything Sheng Yukai had done onto Sheng Hanyu, using the opportunity to drive him out of the Sheng Family.

This was also why everyone was in such a rush to get him to pull himself together.

Sheng Hanyu asked: "What time is the press conference tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, at the Prince Hotel, twentieth-floor VIP conference room," Sheng Zerong said.

He looked at his older brother, feeling a bit embarrassed, and gathered his courage to say: "I'm sorry, Big Brother, I..."

Sheng Hanyu stopped him: "It has nothing to do with you; you are you, and they are they."

In fact, he had been longing to break away from the Sheng Family!

If it hadn't been for his grandfather's strong opposition back then, he would have long since made a clean break with those people, including his own parents.

It was a very ordinary sentence, yet it moved Sheng Zerong to the point of tears; others could understand his predicament, but only Yingzi mocked him mercilessly.

"Is it really that necessary? He didn't even say anything, and you're moved to this extent? Are you really that easy to fool?"

Yun Zhe Hao said to Yingzi: "Don't interrupt if you don't understand the situation."

He was the person who understood Sheng Zerong's inner thoughts best; the mentor who guided Sheng Zerong's doctoral studies in law was Zhang.

His best friend and older brother being set up by his own parents and older brother... his heart had always been conflicted and guilty, and now that even his mentor was involved, Sheng Zerong didn't know what to say.

Although he hadn't locked himself in his room to drown his sorrows in alcohol these past few days, his heart was no better off than Sheng Hanyu's!

"Fine, I won't interrupt." Yingzi thought to herself that if Shi Yuke hadn't gotten involved, she wouldn't care about their business at all.

The next day, nine-ten in the morning.

Although there were still fifty minutes until the press conference, the Prince Hotel conference room was already packed with reporters.

Everyone wanted to grab a good spot and snatch the first-hand information; today, the front-page headlines of all major news websites were reporting on this matter. Although the conference hadn't started yet, the hype was already as hot as it could get!

Inside the Presidential Suite.

Shi Yuke picked up a silver-gray Armani suit and held it against Sheng Yukai: "This one looks more steady, A Kai, what do you think?"

Besides the one in her hand, there were dozens of other suits from various international luxury brands in the closet, all of which she had prepared for Sheng Yukai for this press conference.

Sheng Yukai was holding his speech draft and memorizing it, very dissatisfied at being interrupted by Shi Yuke.

He had spent a large sum of money to have this draft written by someone, and he had to have it memorized perfectly before the press conference began.

He glared at Shi Yuke impatiently: "How many times have I said it? You can decide these kinds of things yourself; you always disturb me with trivial matters, don't you know what is light and what is heavy?"

"It's all my fault, A Kai, don't be angry, I won't disturb you again." Shi Yuke lowered her head submissively and apologized in a hurry.

Of course she knew that memorizing the draft was more important at a time like this, but she was also doing it for Sheng Yukai's own good; he was yelling at her before they were even married, so if they got married in the future, wouldn't it become the norm?

Shi Yuke felt aggrieved, and tears fell from her eyes in pairs!

Seeing this, he frowned; shedding tears on a joyous day was very inauspicious.

Sheng Yukai suppressed his disgust and gently pulled Shi Yuke into his arms to comfort her: "Be good, my attitude was bad just now, I apologize to you, stop crying."

"A Kai..."

Bai Xue and Sheng Hai did not knock, but pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see this scene!

The smile on Bai Xue's face vanished instantly, and she immediately let her face drop: "Pah, what kind of day is it today to be crying and wailing? Bad luck!"
