Chapter 21: She Was Tricked

哈.这就是男人的样子.他们用各种方式照顾他们喜欢的女人,但当涉及到她时,他们会做任何事情.他和她睡在一起,现在她怀了他的孩子.虽然那天晚上的事件是她有意策划的,但这不是重点.她猛地一动,从沙发上站了起来,眼中燃烧着愤怒.当她移动时,他抬起头,注意到她脸上相当大的脾气.所以,她也会生气.沈明不屑地撇了撇嘴."基于母性的恩惠?我肚子里有两个孩子,这仍然无关紧要."好吧,我来做,"她带着尖锐的果断说."我现在就打电话给苏取消欢迎宴会."她看了一眼手腕上的时间.在此之后,她还有另一次会议.她看了他一眼,然后继续说."荣先生,我希望下次我们见面时,您能准备好讨论我两个孩子的未来.是时候让家人知道发生了什么,无论您是打算抚养他们还是让他们离开.是时候好好谈谈它了."说完,她转身迅速离开了.她走后,他咔嚓一声打开了他的金属打火机,从包里掏出一根香烟.他点燃了它,慢慢地抽了一口,品尝着烟雾.她刚才的大胆态度...她是在威胁他吗?承诺解释?他悄悄地自嘲地笑了起来.她很快就会后悔的.她会爬回来.在她与荣兆南交谈后,她取消了苏宁为她安排的欢迎宴会.在业务方面,事情进展得更加顺利.尽管生产线已经停滞不前,但 Shen Ming 通过举办新品发布会卷土重来.公司正在进行改造,一切看起来又焕然一新.江少墨听到这个消息,不禁想起了那个女人.她如此自信地说话的记忆让他微笑.她就像一只杀不死的蟑螂."江先生,宁集团的宁先生想见您,"他的助手说.江少墨点头表示认可,然后,在转动了两次戒指后,他指示他的助手."给沈明发个口信.让她知道我会来参加她的新产品发布会.当沈明收到江少墨助理的信息时,她应该很高兴.但感觉有些不对劲.有一种奇怪的焦虑感在啃咬着她.她无法摆脱它,即使她把车停在楼下,她的右眼也抽搐了好几次.出了点问题.事情进展得太顺利了——太顺利了.她不像她的竞争对手程安仪那样只是低调行事.就在她思考这件事的时候,她抬头看到程安仪站在她公司的门口.程安仪自己来了.她下了车,两名保镖在她身边.从外观上看,她已经准备好大展拳脚了.在她走近之前,沈明站在她的车旁,冷静地指着大楼的监控摄像头.这是程安仪最讨厌的地方——沈明总是那么自信.她总是设法逃脱任何危险.Cheng Anyi had been threatening her, saying she'd hold a new product launch event? The audacity!But Cheng Anyi wasn't done."Shen Ming, I really underestimated you!"Shen Ming shrugged casually."You're still underestimating me. There's plenty more you haven't seen."Cheng Anyi was just a nuisance to her. She had plenty of ways to handle her. As for Jiang Shaomo's claim that she had powerful backers, like the notorious playboy Ning Zhiqian, Shen Ming wasn't worried about that either.She gave her clothes a quick dust-off before leaning against her car, giving Cheng Anyi a condescending glance."Cheng Anyi, what's the rush? You came all the way here, so there must be something you want. Didn't you say you were going to sue me? Do you have enough evidence now? I heard you found the best lawyer in Haishi, Wu Dazhuang. What's the hold-up? You've been online claiming so much, yet nothing's happening? Is that all you've got?"Lying, and then threatening to sue her? What a joke."Enough!" Cheng Anyi's anger boiled over as she glared at Shen Ming, wanting to tear her apart. "Wu Dazhuang is Ning Zhiqian's uncle. I didn't expect him to not help his nephew but instead help you. No law firm in Haishi will take on this case now. Shen Ming, you're really something!"Shen Ming had given up on the welcome banquet that Su Ning had arranged for her, giving up the chance to publicly reveal her status.Rong Zhaonan had also agreed to her request.But Cheng Anyi had wasted all that time just trying to make things difficult for her. Shen Ming didn't crush her immediately, but that was just showing restraint.Now, Cheng Anyi was here in person to confront her.Shen Ming stayed calm and watched her carefully."So, tell me, why are you really here? If it's just to praise me, I don't need it.""Praise you?" Cheng Anyi burst into laughter, her eyes filled with venom."Do you really not understand, or are you pretending? Why hold a new product launch now? Is your funding enough? Can your production line even work? What you don't know is, I'm here today as a representative of ME Group to acquire your company."Acquire?ME Group?Isn't that a private investment company under Rong Zhaonan?Shen Ming frowned deeply.So, she and Rong Zhaonan were connected? How could that be?!"What's your connection with ME Group?" She asked, now only concerned with this piece of the puzzle.Cheng Anyi enjoyed seeing Shen Ming's panic."ME Group recruited me as their chief investment banker. Acquiring your small company is my first task. Shen Ming, don't think you're the only one with skills. You may be good at handling PR, but when it comes to connections, you're nothing compared to me. Wake up—this time, you have no chance of turning things around."After a cold laugh, Cheng Anyi walked past her with her bodyguards, heading into the company building.Shen Ming remained rooted to the spot, leaning against her car, staring after them with cold eyes.Inside, she felt a deep chill.It wasn't because of Cheng Anyi, though. She had figured it out. The real threat wasn't Cheng Anyi, but someone else behind all of this.Someone far more powerful.Her fingers, chilled, reached for her phone and dialed Rong Zhaonan.It wouldn't connect.She had been blacklisted!Her heart sank completely.Rong Zhaonan, you really would do anything to ruin me.You used Cheng Anyi to make me miserable.In her past life, she had never heard that Cheng Anyi had anything to do with ME Group.Why was Rong Zhaonan doing this?Just then, she received a call from Lian."Mr. Shen, where are you? Did you go to the hospital? I'm on my way over. The company is in trouble—an investment company is coming to inspect us. The new product launch is coming up, and at this rate, are we going to be acquired?"An acquisition? Shen Ming knew that this was bad news—an acquisition could lead to a hostile takeover or bankruptcy.She knew all too well how ruthless companies could be when they wanted to kill a competitor."Tell the VP to handle it for now. I'm heading to the hospital."Even as she spoke, she could barely focus on the hospital. She was too anxious."Mr. Shen, I'll come pick you up later.""Okay."The moment she received her check-up results, she understood everything.How laughable.Shen Ming, for once, had been played.She thought she had been the one manipulating everything, but Rong Zhaonan had turned the tables, and now she was left helpless.As she looked at the pregnancy test results in her hands, she was hit with a hard truth.She wasn't pregnant at all!
