Chapter 49: Earth-shattering Secret

Cheng Liyue's expression darkened. Her gaze turned chilly as she looked at Shen Junyao. “Mrs. Lu, what do you mean by this?”

With arms crossed over her chest, Shen Junyao scoffed. “What do I mean? You still do not know? Today, Junxuan told me that he happened to meet you in a restaurant. Tell me, how did you guys coincidentally run into each other in such a big city? Are you deliberately creating opportunities to get close to him?”

Hearing this, Cheng Liyue sneered. “Why should I create opportunities to get close to a man who has cast me aside?”

The rage on Shen Junyao's face did not diminish. She pointedly said, “Why? Of course, it's because my Junxuan is rich. You want to earn his sympathy so that he will feel sorry for you and come to your aid. That way you'll derive some benefits from him.”

“Mrs. Lu, be more polite in your speech. Even if I were left dest.i.tute and have no money, I would absolutely not want Lu Junxuan's pity nor his charity. If there is something I need from him, it's the 15% shares in the Lu Group that he took away from me.” Cheng Liyue's voice rang out loudly.

Listening to this, Shen Junyao's pupils dilated. “You still want to get back that 15% shares?”

“But of course, it was mine to begin with. Back then, it was all of you who schemed against me. What you have s.n.a.t.c.hed out of my hands, I want it to be returned. Is there a problem with that?” Cheng Liyue said coldly.

Shen Junyao gave a derisive laugh as if she had just heard a joke. “Cheng Liyue, it was clearly stated in the divorce papers that you were willing to give up the 15% shares and hand them over to Junxuan. Now, you want them to be returned to you? Keep on dreaming!”

It felt like her heart had been p.r.i.c.ked but she kept her chin up. Feeling unresigned, she replied, “This life is still long, who knows if I have the capability to do so in the future?”

“So, the encounter at the restaurant was not a deliberate move on your part?” Shen Junyao narrowed her eyes as she asked.

Cheng Liyue also understood that Shen Junyao said all these things in order to receive some rea.s.surance from her. Cheng Liyue coldly responded, “If there is nothing else, I need to get back to work.”

Hearing her vague response, Shen Junyao immediately stopped her. “Tell me straight up. Did you intentionally arrange the meeting with Junxuan at the restaurant?”

“So what if I did or didn't? I do not answer to anyone for the things that I do.” Cheng Liyue did not want to give Shen Junyao the satisfaction of being rea.s.sured. She pushed the door open and left.

Shen Junyao gnawed at her lips in rage. The expression on her face turned ugly. If she thought about it carefully, the answer laid in Cheng Liyue's reply. But Shen Junyao simply could not be at ease because Lu Junxuan's intention to sympathize with Cheng Liyue and to come to her aid had already materialized.

Cheng Liyue was like a ticking bomb that could blow up around Lu Junxuan at any time. Just like what she had done back then, it was possible that Shen Junyao would s.n.a.t.c.h Lu Junxuan from her at any time. Shen Junyao dared not let her guard down.

Moreover, there are some things that only Shen Junyao herself was aware of. She had always thought Lu Junxuan would love her forever. But the past four years had shown her that Lu Junxuan did not love her as much as she had imagined.

Shen Junyao left the conference room. She did not continue to look for Cheng Liyue. She was planning to go shopping for new clothes. As long as she dressed herself up beautifully, Lu Junxuan's eyes would not stray from her to look at other women.

She went to the washroom to freshen up. Carrying her handbag, she walked in and entered a cubicle.

At this moment, there seemed to be several female employees coming in as they chattered away.

“Have you heard? This morning, Designer Cheng came to work in a sports car that is worth tens of millions.”

“Yeah. We have long guessed who that man is.”

A new employee asked curiously, “Who is it?”
