Chapter 110: All‑or‑Nothing Cheng Daqiang

Yun Yubing's eyelids twitched slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed her brows.

"What evidence do you have?"

Cheng Daqiang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He knew this was his last chance.

"My father, in order to control the Cheng Group, had long been scheming behind the scenes."

He lowered his voice, as if recounting an earth‑shattering secret.

"He used multiple accounts to secretly purchase shares of the Cheng Group."

"These shares are registered under other people's names, but the actual control remains in his hands."

Cheng Daqiang stared intently at Yun Yubing's eyes, trying to see a hint of wavering in them,

"He actually holds up to thirty‑nine percent of the shares!"

"That's why he is the real chairman of the Cheng Group!"

Yun Yubing listened silently, her face showing no expression.

Cheng Daqiang felt uneasy in his heart.

He didn't know whether Yun Yubing believed him.

The woman was like an iceberg, making it impossible to see into her heart.

"General Manager Yun, I'm not lying to you."

Cheng Daqiang said urgently.

"As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee the Cheng Group will fully support the Gaoxin District Construction Project."

"Only under my father's leadership can this project realize its greatest value."

Yun Yubing finally spoke,

"Your father indeed is very capable."

"However, everything must follow the contract. Unless... your father can place me in the general manager position."

"Alright, Mr. Cheng, I have other matters, so I'll take my leave now."

After Yun Yubing finished speaking, she gracefully walked into the conference room, leaving Cheng Daqiang alone in the spacious office, lost in thought.

Sunlight streamed through the floor‑to‑ceiling window, bathing him, yet it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.

His complexion shifted between gloom and brightness,

The Di Jiang Group's terms were very clear,

Whoever is the general manager, they will cooperate with that person,

Cheng Daqiang clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles whitening from the strain, and blue veins bulging on the back of his hands,

Partnering with the Di Jiang Group is a juicy piece of meat—who wouldn't want a bite?

But this piece of meat is laced with thorns, stabbing him painfully.

He must pull Cheng Tianci, his second uncle, down from the general manager position. Then, he will ascend himself.

But doing so would completely tear the façade between them, leading to countless future battles and troubles.

Never mind, if I don't fight for it, won't I truly become a waste?

Cheng Daqiang shook his fist, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

His second uncle is getting old; it's time for him to step down and make way for the worthy.

……

In the office,

Yun Yubing stepped into the office and, with a reverse hand, closed the door.

The indoor lighting was soft; she walked to the desk, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly.

Yun Yubing's voice was soft, carrying a faint, barely perceptible hint of expectation.

Yun Yubing's voice was gentle, carrying a barely perceptible hint of anticipation.

A deep, low reply from Jiangnan came through the phone.

From the other end, Jiangnan's deep voice replied.

Brief, yet it made Yun Yubing's heart race.

"Cheng Daqiang just came again."

Yun Yubing reported.

"Oh? What does he mean?"

Jiangnan's tone carried a hint of amusement.

"He seems to want to replace Cheng Tianci and cooperate with our Di Jiang Group. He also mentioned that Cheng Tianyi is secretly controlling more shares."

Yun Yubing answered truthfully.

"It seems the Cheng Group's internal waters run deep. Yun, what are your thoughts?"

Jiangnan's voice revealed a profound insight into everything.

"I think we can continue following your plan, steering him into conflict with Cheng Tianci."

Yun Yubing stated her arrangement,

"You did well."

……

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Murong Wan stretched her arms, loosening a body that was slightly stiff after a night of sound sleep.

In front of the floor‑to‑ceiling window, Murong Wan stretched her arms, her body, slightly stiff after a night of sleep, loosening.

【61】 She twisted her waist, outlining a graceful curve, a faint smile curling her lips, revealing a hint of sweetness.

Remembering everything that happened with Jiangnan last night, a warm current rose in her heart.

She could see Jiangnan any moment, and her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

She took a deep breath and turned toward the dressing room.

She carefully selected a light‑blue dress that outlined her graceful figure.

She then applied a subtle makeup; the woman in the mirror had bright eyes, white teeth, and a pure, elegant look.

Satisfied, she nodded and turned to go downstairs.

Her steps were light, like a joyful fawn.

Just as she stepped out of the building, a black Rolls‑Royce caught her eye.

It parked quietly by the roadside, its body glittering in the sunlight.

The window lowered slowly, revealing Jiangnan's handsome face.

He had deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Murong Wan felt a surge of joy and hurried over.

She threw herself into Jiangnan's arms and held him tightly.

"Why did you come to pick me up?"

She lifted her head, her eyes sparkling with delighted light.

Jiangnan gently stroked her silky hair, his gesture tender.

"I'll take you out for a walk tonight."

His voice was low, with a hint of indulgent affection.

Murong Wan felt a honey‑sweetness fill her heart.

She nestled in Jiangnan's embrace, feeling his familiar scent.

In that moment, she felt she was the happiest woman in the world.

The two entered the car, the Rolls‑Royce started slowly, and drove away.

Inside the vehicle, Murong Wan turned her head to look at Jiangnan.

He drove attentively, his profile sharp and heroic.

A sense of pride rose in her heart.

This outstanding man was her boyfriend.

"Where do you want to go?"

Jiangnan spoke suddenly, breaking the car's silence.

"Hmm... anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you."

Murong Wan's voice was soft, with a hint of shyness.

Jiangnan's mouth twitched slightly upward,

he turned his head, gave Murong Wan a glance, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Then let's go stroll the mall; I haven't taken you there before."

The Rolls‑Royce stopped in front of the most bustling mall in Jinghai City.

Jiangnan was the first to get out, walked around the front of the car, and opened the door for Murong Wan.

He extended his hand, palm up.

Murong Wan gently placed her hand on his palm, using his strength to step down.

The moment their fingertips touched, a warm current surged through her entire body.

She lifted her gaze, plunging into a deep pool.

Jiangnan's eyes were filled with tenderness, and a faint smile curved his lips.

The two walked side by side into the mall.

Cool air brushed their faces, dispelling the summer's stifling heat.

Inside, the crowd wove like a tapestry, bustling beyond compare.

Melodious music echoed in the air, intertwining with voices and laughter.

Murong Wan slipped her arm around Jiangnan, feeling the warmth radiating from him, a indescribable sweetness swelling in her heart.

"What would you like to eat?"

Jiangnan spoke again, breaking the quiet between them.

"Hmm..."

Murong Wan pondered briefly, her eyes landing on an ice‑cream shop,

"I want ice cream."

"Let's go."

Jiangnan took Murong Wan's hand and headed straight for the ice‑cream shop.

Inside, the colorful ice creams glowed enticingly under the lights.

Murong Wan's eyes sparkled, excited like a child.

She ordered a strawberry ice cream, while Jiangnan chose a vanilla one.

The two sat in the shop, tasting the ice cream.

The sweet flavor spread across their tongues, bringing a wave of coolness.

Murong Wan scooped a spoonful of ice cream and brought it to Jiangnan's lips.

"Try it," she said softly, with a hint of anticipation.

Jiangnan was slightly startled, then opened his mouth and took the ice cream in.

The sweet fragrance of strawberries and the rich aroma of vanilla meld in the mouth, bringing a wonderful mouthfeel.

He looked toward Murong Wan; she was gazing at him with a beaming smile, happiness shining in her eyes.
