You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

Chen Muzhou had a strawberry lollipop in his mouth.

His cheeks were puffed out round.

I simply couldn't understand my brother's frustration at being alone in the face of adversity.

Two short legs clad in white lace stockings swung happily along the edge of the leather seat.

The black bulletproof Maybach smoothly drove into the hillside of Genting Resort.

The autumn sun cast long, thin shadows on the plane trees.

Time is like a wheel silently rolling along this winding mountain road.

In peace and tranquility, three years have passed quietly.

Three years.

Star Ventures is backed by a ghost base station on the dark web.

It's like an insatiable ancient behemoth.

It not only completely monopolized the economic lifeline of Jianghai City and even the entire Jiangnan region.

Even in the high-tech field overseas, they have torn off a large piece of the most lucrative territory.

Every year, the net profit report shows a long string of zeros representing trillions of assets.

That's enough to make the finance minister of any sovereign nation envious.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

When wealth accumulates to a certain level, you can cook even if you're hiding deep in the mountains.

Those ancient forces hidden deeper within, who call themselves the true Celestial Dragons.

They will also bare their greedy fangs like sharks that have smelled blood.

Deep within the capital city.

Those "Four Great Families" that have been entrenched for over a century and whose profound heritage is unimaginable.

He has been observing the rise and fall of these so-called "nouveau riche" in the area with a detached eye.

In their eyes, no matter how rich you are in Jianghai City.

There was no privilege or red background that had been ingrained for a century.

In the end, it's nothing more than fattening up pigs for slaughter.

Among them, the Huangfu family is the most powerful and the most domineering.

Finally, unable to contain themselves any longer, they set their sights on the huge pie that is Star Venture Capital.

3 PM.

Outside the black and gold carved gate of Genting Manor.

There wasn't a breath of wind in the air, and the stifling heat made one feel a tightness in their chest.

Two black Hongqi sedans with white license plates bearing red lettering, displaying special privileges in Beijing.

They ignored the speed bumps around the manor.

It came to a sudden, forceful stop in the very center of the fountain square.

The wheels screeched against the stone slabs.

Before the security personnel outside could even stop them, the car door was violently pushed open.

Four middle-aged men wearing black Zhongshan suits, with prominent temples.

He was the first to get off the bus.

The aura emanating from these four individuals carried the profound, hidden power of a master of internal martial arts.

He's several times more arrogant than that previous Tai Chi master who caused trouble.

They stood on either side.

Then.

A man wearing an exquisite tailored suit and with his hair slicked back.

He slowly and deliberately stepped out of the back seat.

This man is Huangfu Ming, a special envoy of the Huangfu family.

He was holding two century-old walnuts with a beautiful patina in his hands.

Click, click.

The walnuts clinked together in the palm of my hand, making a crisp sound.

He looked up.

My gaze passed over the fountain and surveyed the luxurious estate that cost hundreds of millions to build.

A barely concealed look of contempt and mockery tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"A nouveau riche is just a nouveau riche; all they do is pile up tacky stones and glass with their money."

"It has absolutely no foundation."

Huangfu Ming sneered.

The bodyguard behind him took two heavy mahogany carved brocade boxes out of the trunk.

This is the so-called "national gift level" betrothal gift prepared by the Huangfu family.

It was used as a stepping stone to open the gates of this manor and, naturally, to reap the rewards of trillions of dollars.

"stop."

Eagle, accompanied by more than a dozen fully armed bodyguards, strode up from the entrance of the hall to greet us.

Like an impenetrable iron wall, it blocked Huangfuming's path.

"Private property. No appointment, please leave."

Eagle's voice was as cold and hard as a piece of raw iron, and his hand was already on the baton at his lower back.

Facing these tough opponents who were clearly skilled in internal martial arts.

His muscles tensed instantly, preparing him for battle.

Huangfu Ming didn't even lift his eyelids.

He didn't stop fiddling with the walnuts in his hands.

"The rules of Jianghai City are a joke in front of the Huangfu family."

A bodyguard in a Zhongshan suit stood beside him.

Suddenly, he let out a cold snort.

He stomped his right foot forward.

A spiderweb-like crack instantly appeared on the hard white marble floor tile.

An invisible, hidden force surged through the air.

This forced the ordinary bodyguards around Eagle to take two steps back.

His face turned pale.

"Have Shen Wanzhou come out and accept this letter of appointment."

Huangfu Ming stopped playing with the walnuts, his eyes cold and arrogant.

"It is a blessing that the Huangfu family took the initiative to come to her door."

Inside the lobby.

Shen Wanzhou was wearing a soft, home-style silk dress.

I sat on the sofa, looking at a children's picture book in my hand.

Hearing the noise outside the door, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Put down the picture book.

Her fair feet slipped into soft cashmere slippers.

Following the corridor from the entrance hall, I arrived at the front door.

Over the past three years.

Under Chen Yuan's boundless pampering and protection.

The unhealthy defensiveness she displayed, stemming from severe social anxiety, has largely dissipated.

Instead.

It's the aloofness and composure inherent in the head of the Shen family conglomerate.

"Eagle, let them in."

Shen Wanzhou's clear and calm voice carried through the half-open door.

Since the other party has already parked their car in the fountain square.

She wanted to see what kind of show this so-called Huangfu family of the capital was going to put on.

Huangfu Ming heard the sound.

A smug, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Accompanied by four bodyguards, he swaggered into the manor's hall.

They didn't even change their shoes.

Dusty leather shoes were stepped directly onto the expensive Persian carpet.

Several glaring stains were left behind.

Shen Wanzhou sat in the center of the leather sofa.

Keep your back straight.

Those shimmering, peach-blossom eyes coldly stared at the uninvited man.

"Speak, what does the Huangfu family want with me?"

Huangfuming didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the single sofa opposite him.

He waved.

The bodyguard behind him slammed the two mahogany boxes onto the glass coffee table.

The lid is lifted.

Inside is a crystal-clear, top-quality jadeite Guanyin statue, along with several priceless antique paintings and calligraphy.

Items of this caliber are put up for auction.

Any one of these items could fetch a staggering price of hundreds of millions at auction.

But in Shen Wanzhou's eyes, this was not as pleasing to the eye as the apple Chen Yuan had peeled for her that morning.

"Chairman Shen, the Huangfu family has always preferred to get straight to the point when doing things."

Huangfu Ming leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced on his knees.

"The profits of Xingchen Venture Capital in recent years have indeed been remarkable."

"Chen Yuan is a grassroots person with no background or foundation."

"We've been lucky to get to where we are today."

He deliberately emphasized the word "luck".

"But the tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

"In China, without real privileges and backing, his trillion-dollar empire will eventually be swallowed up by someone, skin and bones."

Shen Wanzhou's eyes instantly turned cold.

A man who dares to belittle her to her face.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, she would still turn on him.

"so what?"

Her voice carried a chilling edge, like shards of ice.

"Therefore, our patriarch has taken great mercy and is willing to give Chen Yuan an opportunity to transcend social classes."

Huangfu Ming took out a gold-embossed marriage certificate from his pocket.

"The eldest daughter of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Wan'er."

"Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also our patriarch's most beloved granddaughter."

"The head of the family intends to betroth the eldest daughter to Chen Yuan."

"With this marriage alliance, Xingchen Venture Capital will be able to expand its influence in Beijing and even across the country."

"Then you can walk sideways."

Upon hearing this...

Shen Wanzhou's chest heaved violently.

The anger that had been suppressed in his heart instantly ignited like a powder keg.

She laughed in anger.

"A marriage alliance?"

"It seems like I'm still sitting here. In Chen Yuan's spouse section, my name, Shen Wanzhou, is written."

Huangfu Ming felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

He looked Shen Wanzhou up and down with disdain.

His gaze held a condescending and sarcastic air.

"Chairman Shen, we're all adults, so let's not cling to that piece of paper."

"Although you have some money, in the end, you're just a local merchant."

"not to mention."

Huangfuming's eyes turned vicious as he swept them toward the second floor.

"You've already had two children."

"How can this withered, faded body be worthy of Chen Yuan's current trillion-dollar fortune?"

"Only our eldest daughter of the Huangfu family, that pure and innocent, a noblewoman with a red background."

"Only she deserves to stand beside him, to be the true matriarch of Star Capital!"

These words are more than just insults.

They trampled on Shen Wanzhou's dignity as a mother and wife.

Shen Wanzhou gripped the leather edge of the sofa tightly with both hands.

The fingernails were deeply embedded in the leather.

His knuckles turned a horrifying pale white from excessive force.

His breathing became short and disordered.

He was so angry that his whole body was trembling slightly uncontrollably.

A blush of anger welled up in her eyes.

"roll!"

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out the word.

Huangfu Ming sneered.

He didn't get up, but instead took the gold-embossed marriage certificate, along with a check tucked inside.

It was slammed heavily onto the marble coffee table.

It emitted a dull thud.

The special envoy slammed a marriage certificate on the coffee table, looked down at Shen Wanzhou and sneered: "Chairman Shen, if you know what's good for you, take this billion and get out of here. You, the richest man in Jianghai City, can't afford the wrath of the Huangfu family."
