Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 814: Chapter 814: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (40)

Jing Liang stayed at Shangyu Company, and at first, Shang Yu could still hold on, but later he couldn’t manage anymore.

Jing Liang had bribed everyone in the company, not to empty him out of power, but his subordinates would not follow his commands.

Shang Yu was just a Bare-Pole Commander.

Shang Yu, being pressured, became irritable, and this irritation had nowhere to be vented.

Jing Liang sometimes felt quite sympathetic towards Shang Yu.

He had no idea what had offended the junior boss so much that he scrutinized him like this, and yet he was plotted against by someone else without even knowing who it was.

But sympathy was sympathy, and work was work.

The task assigned by the junior boss still needed to be diligently executed.

”Director Jing, Shang Yu went to the club and called for two girls...”

”What does that matter to me?” Shang Yu finding women, there was nothing worth mentioning about that.

”No, that’s not it...” The person bent down and whispered a couple of sentences in Jing Liang’s ear.

Jing Liang raised an eyebrow: ”Really?”

The other person nodded, affirming it was true.

Jing Liang pondered for a moment: ”You go keep an eye on it, I will go and talk to the junior boss.”

”Alright.”

Jing Liang dialed Chuzheng’s number, but it went to voicemail.

This time...

Jing Liang checked the time displayed on his phone’s screen; it was still early... why was it turned off?

Without Chuzheng’s instruction, Jing Liang did not dare to act rashly; he could only try calling at intervals to see if he could get through.

Two hours later, the call connected.

The voice on the other end was Chuzheng’s cold and distant one: ”What is it?”

”Junior boss, there’s a matter I would like to report to you.”

The person on the other side hummed indifferently as if someone was speaking to her, she softly said something, and then quiet descended around her.

Jing Liang knew he could speak now.

He repeated the situation to Chuzheng: ”Junior boss, you see, should we...”

”Underage, are you sure?” The voice from the other end seemed distant, as if muffled by something.

Jing Liang thought Chuzheng’s voice was pleasant to listen to.

But when you listened carefully, it would unexpectedly give you a chill.

”Certain,” Jing Liang guaranteed: ”It seems like the girl was drugged...”

”Hmm...” Chuzheng paused, then said, ”Since that’s the case, let’s lend a hand.”

Jing Liang considered for a moment: ”Understood.”

After hanging up, Jing Liang immediately called the person on the other end.

In less than half an hour, that club was surrounded by police.

The club, riddled with filth, was overflowing with sordid affairs.

It was said that Shang Yu was caught red-handed, the young girl already barely conscious; if they had been any later, it might have cost a life.

Underage, drugged.

The scandal-ridden Shang Yu made headlines once again.

But this time, he wasn’t so lucky.

Shang Yu always liked younger girls and had often engaged in such activities in the past; none played clean in that circle.

Give them money if they listen, drug them if they don’t, take some photos afterward for blackmail, who would dare to speak out?

But this time he was caught in the act.

That amounted to rape.

The first thing the girl did upon regaining consciousness was to sue Shang Yu.

He wouldn’t be getting out for several years.

-

”Smack!”

The woman turned off the TV, the remote clattering on the table, her face drawn sharply by the poor quality makeup.

”Mom.”

The young man pushed the door and entered, dressed like a rogue, and said, ”Today, Fatty in our class bought a new phone, I want one too.”

”Where would I get money from?” The woman said irritably: ”Do you think you’re still the young master?”

This woman was no other.

It was Mother Yao.

The young man was Shang Lu.

Several years had passed, and he had grown up quite a bit.

At first, when Shang Lu was kicked out of the Shang Family, he couldn’t accept it and went to make trouble for Shang Yu.

But whenever Shang Yu saw him, it was as if seeing his own foolish past, deceived by Mother Yao, how could he show him any kindness?

In the end, Shang Lu had to leave with Mother Yao.

After such an incident, he didn’t dare to continue attending school.

He switched to a new school.

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to return to frugality.

Shang Lu often blamed Mother Yao.

Now, hearing Mother Yao’s words, Shang Lu erupted.

”I was fine at the Shang house, but it’s all your fault, why did you have to have an affair and give birth to me?”

”You...” Mother Yao was so angry her face turned red.

If she could have a son with Shang Yu, would she have ended up like this?

Shang Yu was actually infertile!

”I know you still have money, my dad gave you quite a bit, give it to me.” Shang Lu stretched out his hand towards Mother Yao.

”Your dad? Hah, does he even consider you his son?” Mother Yao was reluctant to give it, she had given birth to this son just to enter the Shang Family.

To put it bluntly, Shang Lu was just a tool.

Mother Yao’s care and fondness for him were all because of Shang Yu.

”Don’t give me that crap, give me the money.”

”I don’t have any.”

Shang Lu was at an age of volatility, and when Mother Yao refused, he turned his head to scout the surroundings, searching in places he thought likely to hold money.

A chaotic rummaging ensued.

Mother Yao cursed in anger, ”How did I give birth to such a Gate of Doom? Shang Lu, stop it and get out, just get out!”

Shang Lu was not to be outdone, shouting back at Mother Yao.

In the end, they even came to blows.

Although Mother Yao didn’t give Shang Lu money this time, as Shang Lu’s temper grew increasingly worse, and despite Mother Yao’s cunning and scheming prowess, she was no match for the young and fiery Shang Lu.

However, Mother Yao wasn’t stupid, she would rather die than give Shang Lu the passwords.

Before Shang Lu could further his actions, she ran off with the remaining money.

Mother Yao also wanted to find Chuzheng.

After all, in her heart, Chuzheng was her daughter, and now she had married a company CEO. As a mother, she ought to get some money out of it.

Unfortunately, Mother Yao couldn’t even get a glimpse of Chuzheng’s face.

-

Half a year later.

”Excuse me, are you Miss Yao Chuzheng?”

Leaning back in her chair, with sunlight falling on her, Chuzheng hummed lazily.

The person on the other end of the phone continued, ”It’s like this, we are from the police station. Shang Lu has been detained for intentional assault. You are his sister, right?”

”No.”

”...”

The person on the other end obviously choked.

”I don’t know him, goodbye.”

Chuzheng hung up the phone.

When the person on the other end called again, Chuzheng directly blocked him.

Chuzheng indifferently watched the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

”Baby,” Mu Shen entered, wrapping his arms around her from behind, ”What day is it today?”

Chuzheng: ”July 14th, what about it?”

Mu Shen turned her around with the chair, ”What do you think?”

Chuzheng with a cold face: ”What about it? Is there something special about today?”

”What do you think.”

”I don’t know.” Chuzheng stood up, ”Okay, I’m going, remember to eat the stuff.” It’s such a hot day, and I even came here to bring you something to eat. I’ve already put in a lot of effort.

Mu Shen held onto Chuzheng, ”Do you really not remember...”

Chuzheng turned and kissed him, ”I’m going.”

Mu Shen: ”...”

Mu Shen watched Chuzheng leave with disappointment.

Mu Shen felt down all day, and the staff at the company, seeing his low spirits, didn’t dare to linger around him.

Geng Hao and the others cornered Mu Shen in the office, ”Brother Shen, are we gathering tonight?”

”Hmm.”

Mu Shen was distracted.

So when they led him somewhere, Mu Shen wasn’t very sure of the place. Only when the car stopped did he realize the surroundings were very quiet.

”Where is this??”

Geng Hao and the others chuckled twice and opened the car door.

”Ta-da, may we present our leading man!”

Mu Shen: ”?”

What’s going on?

Mu Shen stepped out of the car, suspicious. This place was... somewhat secluded.

He smelled a rich sweet scent in the air, the aromatic fragrance of candy.

This is...

Snap—

Spotlights suddenly shone on him as lights around gradually lit up.

The lights revealed a building in the distance, a gigantic, fantastical candy house-shaped building appeared before Mu Shen’s eyes.

He was standing right in the pathway leading to that building.

Mu Shen took a shallow breath.

The sweetness in the air intensified.

Mu Shen took a deep breath and walked towards the building.

The door automatically opened as he approached, revealing an array of all kinds of candies, like entering a fairy-tale world.

This was a candy factory!

Chuzheng stood inside, looking at him with an indifferent expression.

The girl stood there, dreamlike and surreal.

”Baby...”

Chuzheng walked out and took his hand, ”This is for you. Do you like it?”

Mu Shen didn’t know how to express his feelings at the moment; he could only nod.

Whatever she gave him, he liked it.

Just as Mu Shen was touched, a crowd popped up from nowhere, setting off celebratory fireworks towards them.

The two stood in the showering fireworks, silently looking at each other.

Mu Shen was the first to lift a faint smile.

Even the sweetest candy isn’t sweeter than you.
