Chapter 131: Qin Yunshu may lose everything, but she will never lose Chu Li, this good brother of hers

Chu Li gave the order that Cheng Wan was not allowed to leave.

Therefore, it was useless for Madam Chu to clamor here.

Madam Chu was grinding her teeth with hatred; she threw a huge tantrum in the living room and smashed many things.

Cheng Wan turned and went upstairs, instructing the servants to keep an eye on Madam Chu.

Let her smash whatever she wanted, just don't let her come upstairs.

Cheng Wan lay on the balcony, bathing in the morning sun.

On her phone news feed was the latest trending topic.

The Chu Group had fired Qin Yunshu; of course, they put it euphemistically, saying Qin Yunshu needed to resign due to some personal reasons.

But those who understood, understood.

On the official website, the name of the developer next to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume had changed to Qin Xingwan.

Cheng Wan put down her phone, her eyes feeling a bit sore.

She had finally taken back the naming rights to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume.

Putting down the phone, she raised her palm to cover her eyes.

Until footsteps sounded beside her.

She guessed it was Chu Li, lowered her palm, and looked at him with slightly reddened eyes.

"Has President Chu come to hold me accountable?"

Chu Li looked at her for a while before saying indifferently, "Yun Shu has already left the position of Research and Development Director."

"I know."

She had just seen the news.

This was Qin Yunshu's retribution.

Chu Li was silent for a few seconds, "The Cheng Family wants to call off the engagement."

Cheng Wan had guessed as much.

After all, Qin Yunshu was not the true daughter of the Chu family, and now that she had left the Chu Group and had a bad reputation, the Cheng Family naturally would not want to accept such a marriage partner.

She said sarcastically, "Then the Chu family decided too early; after all, even if Qin Yunshu loses everything, she won't lose President Chu, this good brother of hers."

Chu Li felt a severe tightness in his chest.

"Cheng Wan, do you even have a heart?"

He questioned her.

Cheng Wan looked at him quietly, her crimson lips pale in the morning sun.

"That was originally Qin Xingwan's thing; you gave it to Qin Yunshu to be named after her without my permission—did you have a heart then?"

Chu Li's pitch-black eyes were filled with coldness.

"You colluded with Fang Yiwen to deliberately swap the perfume, making Yun Shu think you cheated, and then proposed a public competition to suppress her."

"If you wanted to become Master Fang's disciple, you could have relied on your strength, yet you insisted on plotting against her, making her lose face in front of everyone."

He had already investigated clearly, and what he was saying now was the truth of the matter.

Cheng Wan admitted it.

"That's right, it was my design."

"If she hadn't deliberately harbored a fluke mentality and tried to frame me, and if her professional skills had been a bit better, none of what followed would have happened."

"If you want to blame someone, blame her for being less skilled than others."

All of this was caused by Qin Yunshu herself.

She had no ability, yet she claimed the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume as her own; that was the original sin.

Of course, Chu Li had contributed quite a bit to this.

It was he who facilitated today's outcome.

At this moment, Chu Li felt that Cheng Wan was vindictive and felt like a complete stranger.

A cold and desolate voice sounded.

"How did you become like this?"

Cheng Wan laughed coldly.

"I have always been like this."

During the seven years in the orphanage, if she hadn't been like this, she would have been eaten down to the bones long ago.

Later, she met Qin Xingwan, whose kindness and warmth had softened all her thorns.

Now that Qin Xingwan was gone, she could only regrow those thorns to protect what she was supposed to protect.

She didn't feel she had done anything wrong.

A chill covered the depths of Chu Li's eyes, "What about the child? You don't care about that either, do you?"

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes, "I have my own sense of proportion."

Chu Li sneered and turned to leave.

He didn't believe her words.

She didn't care about that child at all.

Cheng Wan sat for a long while; in the end, her eyes were burned by the sunlight, turning red.

By the time she went downstairs, Chu Li had long since left.

The servant said tremblingly from the side, "Sir said, please tidy up, you are going to eat in a while."

Cheng Wan frowned; after they had made such a scene, could they still sit down and eat together properly?

She didn't speak.

The servant added, "The master says you must go."

Cheng Wan thought for a moment, "Understood."

Although she did not know what he was planning, who told her to snatch the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume back from Qin Yunshu's hands?

She was in a good mood, so she would go.

It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that the driver came to pick her up.

There were many people sitting in the private room.

Among them, Cheng Han and Cheng Huade were also present.

And over here, there were Madam Chu and Lady Qin.

Cheng Wan roughly guessed what they wanted to discuss.

She sat down quietly in an empty seat.

Cheng Huade glanced at Cheng Wan, his brows slightly furrowed, "My meaning is, call off the engagement."

He got straight to the point, "After all, Qin Yunshu is not the true daughter of the Chu Family."

Marriage alliances must also consider social standing.

Qin Yunshu's face turned pale, and there were tears in her eyes.

She looked at Cheng Han, but Cheng Han only swirled his wine glass without even raising his head.

As Cheng Huade spoke, he pointed out Cheng Wan by name, "It is also fine to change the marriage alliance partners to A Li and Mingzhu."

"If Miss Cheng can abort this child, I personally will give you a sum of compensation."

Cheng Wan then knew the purpose of her coming.

They all assumed it was she who refused to leave Chu Li.

"If President Chu can agree, of course I am willing."

Chu Li's palms tightened; so, she still wanted to abort that child.

She was truly cruel.

"Uncle Cheng." Chu Li's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, "I have said it before, the marriage alliance between the Chu Family and the Cheng Family can only be between Yun Shu and Cheng Han. If you are unwilling, you can completely call off the engagement, but as for the matter of cooperation, I think I will also have to consider it carefully."

"And as for the matter of Cheng Mingzhu instigating others to bully Cheng Wan, I must also pursue it."

Back then, it was precisely because of this matter that Cheng Han agreed to the marriage alliance.

Cheng Huade frowned, "A Li, don't act on impulse."

Such a large cooperation, and he would just give it up for a woman?

Chu Li's fingers rested on his knees, his presence imposing, "Uncle Cheng, the initiative is in my hands now."

He did not have any virtue of respecting the old and cherishing the young.

Cheng Wan listened to every word, hearing how Chu Li defended Qin Yunshu and how he tried to play matchmaker between her and Cheng Han.

She did not know why Chu Li insisted on her coming; was it to let her see with her own eyes how he defended Qin Yunshu?

If that was the case, then he had won.

She could not listen any longer.

Making an excuse to go to the restroom, she left the private room.

After washing her hands and preparing to return, she turned her head and saw Qin Yunshu.

Qin Yunshu was full of hatred, "It was you who plotted against me, Cheng Wan."

Cheng Wan raised her head to look at her through the mirror.

"Do you have evidence?"

In such an occasion, she was not sure if Qin Yunshu had a recording.

Therefore, it was better not to admit it.

After washing her hands, she left directly.

Qin Yunshu chased after her.

"Cheng Wan, you explain things clearly to me, was it you who deliberately... ah..."

She let out a scream.

Cheng Wan turned back and saw her being grabbed by two men who were drunk.

"Beauty, let's have a drink."

"Get lost." Qin Yunshu's face turned white with fear, and she retreated desperately, but there was a wall behind her; where could she retreat to?

Cheng Wan pursed her lips and took two steps back to leave.

Her conscience would not allow her to stand by and watch someone die.

But rushing forward rashly was not a good method.

Her cell phone was still in the private room.

Cheng Wan thought for three seconds and decided to go back to seek help.

But Qin Yunshu was screaming.

"Cheng Wan, save me."
