Chapter 228: Cheng Wan is a Tool for Attracting Hatred

Chu Fangfei is pregnant.

Wen Lvzhong was a bit stunned by this news, because they had been in a cold war for a long time recently, and there was only one time...

Chu Fangfei misunderstood.

She pushed Wen Lvzhong away, very stubbornly, "Cheng Wan and I have already agreed, we are getting a divorce, you and her are getting back together, so don't worry, I will not keep this child."

Cheng Wan had a headache, "This matter has nothing to do with me, you should take her away quickly."

Wen Lvzhong glanced at Cheng Wan, "Sorry to trouble you."

He half-carried Chu Fangfei, not letting her struggle, "Alright, let's go home."

He took her away half-forcibly.

Cheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't know if it was the mood swings caused by pregnancy, but in short, Chu Fangfei really gave her a headache.

A shadow covered her from behind.

By the time Cheng Wan reacted, she had already been cornered on the sofa.

She looked up and met Chu Li's smiling gaze.

She frowned, "Chu Li, move aside."

Chu Li did not move; he forcibly pressed down on her, his breath falling upon her, and he sneered.

"The person Wen Lvzhong likes is you?"

"I..."

"You knew from the beginning?"

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Cheng Wan was so angry she laughed; what did Wen Lvzhong and her business have to do with him?

Chu Li didn't speak, he just gripped her wrists and kissed her.

There was jealousy in his heart; so it turned out that Cheng Wan and Wen Lvzhong wasn't just her unrequited love, but a relationship where they had liked each other.

Even Chu Fangfei had come to find her specifically, saying she wanted a divorce.

So even now, the person Wen Lvzhong liked was still Cheng Wan.

At the thought of this, Chu Li felt lingering fear; during the three years they were separated, Wen Lvzhong and Cheng Wan had the opportunity to rekindle their old flame.

At the same time, he was also glad that Wen Lvzhong and Chu Fangfei were already married.

In short, he was lucky.

The three-year gap did not diminish Chu Li's feelings for Cheng Wan, but rather increased them.

Cheng Wan was so angry her eyes turned red, her emotions surging.

Finally, it turned into tears that fell.

Chu Li tasted that hint of saltiness; he stopped, pressed her into his arms, and his agitated emotions finally regained some rationality.

"I'm sorry."

He was just, just afraid that Cheng Wan would want to return to Wen Lvzhong's side.

He was afraid that he would lose her forever.

His fingers brushed across her cheek, catching that tear, and in the end, he dared not provoke her further.

He stood up and pulled Cheng Wan up along with him.

"Slap!"

Cheng Wan swung a slap across; she used force, and her palm went numb.

"You are shameless."

She scolded him and grabbed her things, intending to leave.

She must have been crazy to agree to get involved in this mess.

At worst, she could just give up the company; staying quietly at the Cheng Family would also allow her to avoid those risks.

Why make herself so disheveled?

Chu Li took long strides, pulled her back, and there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

"I was wrong."

He shouldn't have been impatient because of Wen Lvzhong.

Cheng Wan shook off his hand, "I don't want to see you right now."

She was agitated and restless.

Chu Li raised both hands to express his compromise, "I know, you go upstairs to rest, I promise not to go up."

Cheng Wan did not want to stay here.

"Chu Li, I said I don't want to see you right now, I'm leaving."

"I can leave, but you can't." Chu Li gripped her wrists and pulled her back, "At the very least, it's not safe for you to leave right now."

Cheng Wan knew, she was just too angry.

Having already been dragged into these matters, how could it be easy to get away?

Thinking that this was all Chu Li's scheme, her mood became exceptionally bad.

After a stalemate for a long while, Cheng Wan flicked her hand and went upstairs.

Chu Li looked at her back and gave a bitter smile.

When the sound of a heavy door closing echoed from upstairs, he went to the sofa, sat casually on the carpet, and began to process the documents sent by Assistant Wu.

He then annotated them one by one, so that Cheng Wan could calmly face those people.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Cheng Wan went downstairs to get water and found that the lights were still on in the living room.

She walked to the door on tiptoe and saw Chu Li half-supporting his head, reading documents.

The light and shadow falling upon him were full of exhaustion.

She bit her lip and went to the kitchen to pour some water.

After drinking the water and turning around, she saw Chu Li standing at the kitchen doorway, his gaze calm.

"Chu Li?" She was afraid he was acting crazy again, so she was very blunt.

Chu Li rubbed his brow, the fatigue between his eyes particularly evident.

"I just wanted a glass of water, but I was afraid of startling you, so I waited outside."

Cheng Wan took this in, and her heart gave an inexplicable twitch.

By the time she realized what she was doing, she had already poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

A smile curled at the corners of Chu Li's lips as he took it and drank a mouthful.

"It's very sweet."

Cheng Wan remained expressionless and brushed past him.

She regretted the heartache she had just felt.

Chu Li stood there holding the water glass for a long time.

The next day, when Cheng Wan got up, Assistant Wu had already delivered breakfast.

"Today, the Old Master will announce the will."

Because of Chu Li's "death," Old Master Chu had to choose a new successor; the Old Master did not drag things out, having already had a lawyer draft a new will, which would be announced at the group shareholders' meeting shortly.

Cheng Wan glanced at Chu Li, who was still leisurely eating breakfast across from her, and frowned.

The Old Master already knew the truth, yet he was still redrafting the will?

Was he planning to make this act even more realistic?

She didn't think too much about it; she waited for Chu Li to finish breakfast, then covered him up tightly with a hat, mask, and sunglasses before they set off.

In the conference room, all the shareholders were present.

Chu Yue and Chu Cheng were sitting together, whispering to each other.

Seeing Cheng Wan enter, Chu Yue's expression immediately turned cold.

Chu Bolin had been taken away by the police yesterday, and Chu Yue held a grudge against Cheng Wan.

When Old Master Chu entered, Cheng Wan sat in the seat next to him.

Chu Yue frowned, then curled her lip in disdain.

It was useless for Cheng Wan to be proactive; the Old Master would not hand the Chu Group over to her.

Besides, with so many shareholders here, they would not agree to it either.

Chu Yue was not in a hurry.

Once everyone had arrived, the assistant closed the door.

At Old Master Chu's signal, the lawyer took out the notarized will and began to read it aloud.

The preceding parts were no different from before.

The only difference was that the successor had changed from Chu Li to Cheng Wan.

There was an uproar.

Chu Yue was even more incredulous and stood up, losing her composure.

Cheng Wan had long guessed this result; if the Old Master wanted to properly hand the Chu Group over to Chu Li, he could only use her as a transition.

To put it bluntly, she was a tool to draw hatred.

"I don't agree." Chu Yue was the first to object, but there were many who echoed her.

After all, Cheng Wan had no relation to the Chu family.

Moreover, the business world was like a battlefield, and Cheng Wan knew nothing about its intricacies.

"The Old Master has lost his mind."

"Letting someone with no experience become the successor will only lead to a decline."

"What is the Old Master thinking, handing over a family business earned over a lifetime to an outsider?"

The Old Master did not speak, and Cheng Wan was even less likely to take the initiative to speak, so she just listened to them talk.

After a few minutes, the conference room gradually quieted down.

After all, the Old Master's aura was still there; his silence was a form of pressure.

Only Chu Yue was not afraid.
