59: Chapter 59: You drank too much!
A hint of mockery appeared on Xia Chenyu’s face as she continued, “Perhaps out of guilt, that man secretly gave my mother so money and rented an apartnt for her to live in, occasionally visiting her.
Later, my mother gave birth to …”
“If life had just gone on like that, my mother wouldn’t have had too many complaints.
But who would have thought that on the day of my full-month celebration, so mbers from that man’s family suddenly showed up, including his wife.”
“They said a lot of ugly things to my mother.
The most detestable was that man, who not only expelled us mother and daughter from that apartnt in front of his family but also swore to cut off all ties with us henceforth.”
“My mother’s heart was completely shattered by that man, and she decided to leave that sad and despairing city with that very day.
Eventually, we settled in Zhongzhou City, where my mother used so funds she had saved up to start the ‘Beauty Company,’ raising as I grew up…”
“Since I could understand things, I rarely saw a smile on my mother’s face; she mostly looked worried and gloomy.
When I was twenty, her body, worn down by her emotional strain, finally gave out, and she passed away not long after.”
Two lines of tears slowly stread down Xia Chenyu’s cheeks as she went on, “On the night before my mother passed, tears filled her eyes, and she kept softly calling for that man’s na.
I knew she still loved him, how she wished he would co to see her, to et her one last ti.”
“At that ti, I thought to myself that if that man had co to see my mother, maybe I could have forgiven him for all those years of abandoning us, but he never showed up until my mother was buried.”
Xia Chenyu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of hatred, “From then on, I completely hated that man and everyone from his family…
Even though he later secretly helped us, my hatred for him did not lessen by the slightest.”
“Now that man has beco the Family Head of his clan, powerful and influential.
One day, he suddenly found and wanted to acknowledge as his daughter…
Hah, he expects to marry into ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ to benefit his family’s interests.
What a clever sche he played!”
Having said this, Xia Chenyu wiped away her tears, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and gulped it down, then chuckled to Fang Bai, “You must have guessed already, right?
Yes, that heartless man is Shen Huanian’s father, Shen Dongyang.
And Shen Huanian and I, we are half-siblings sharing the sa father.”
Fang Bai sighed and said, “Shen Dongyang wronged you and your mother, no wonder you hate him!
To be honest, a man without affection or responsibility, I have no respect for him either!”
Xia Chenyu spoke, “Do you know, Fang Bai, when my mother founded the ‘Beauty Company,’ her goal was to make it a top enterprise in Huaxia’s beauty industry, even surpassing the Shen Family’s ‘Belle Group,’ to show Shen Dongyang how wrong he was for abandoning my mother, for his lack of vision.”
“After my mother’s death, I wanted to fulfill this wish for her.
I also wanted to show Shen Dongyang that without the pity of the Shen Family, I, Xia Chenyu, could still live prosperously…”
Before Fang Bai could speak, she laughed mockingly at herself and continued, “The ‘Belle Group’ is the leader of the beauty industry in Huaxia.
It’s too hard to topple them!
Moreover, the Shen Family and ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ have years of business cooperation.
Many secret formulas for beauty products launched by the ‘Belle Group’ are supplied by ‘Rejuvenation Hall’.
With the support of ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ the status of the ‘Belle Group’ in Huaxia’s beauty industry is hard to shake…”
As she said this, she sighed helplessly, poured herself another glass of wine, and unsteadily picked it up to drink.
Her cheeks grew redder, her drunkenness more intense, and her gaze more blurred, as if she might collapse onto the table in a drunken stupor at any mont.
Fang Bai whispered, “Sister Xia, you’ve drunk too much!”
Xia Chenyu didn’t pay attention to him, and continued to say, “But I just can’t accept it!
I feel a surge of anger inside and I just want to compete with ‘Belle Group’.”
“For the developnt of the company, as the CEO, I have to put myself out there, make connections, build relationships, and attend one banquet after another…
Perhaps because I was born with a pretty face, there are always people with ulterior motives who want to get drunk at the dining table and take advantage of .
If I hadn’t been so vigilant, I would have been devoured, skin and bones…”
Fang Bai said, “Sister Xia, you’re a CEO after all; you should have so bodyguards with you.
Even just having an assistant or secretary would be sothing!
For a woman…
especially a beautiful woman to attend a banquet alone, it’s too dangerous.
Like last night, if I hadn’t happened to co by, you would have been in real danger.”
“Last night I was hosting a banquet at Tiangong Grand Hotel for Liu Yuanlong, Zhongzhou’s real estate tycoon.
The Liu Family owns several large shopping malls in Zhongzhou, and I wanted to distribute a portion of our company’s upcoming beauty products there.”
“Liu Yuanlong agreed very readily at the ti, but unexpectedly, while I wasn’t paying attention, he drugged my drink…
If I hadn’t felt that sothing was off and quickly run out of the hotel, and then encountered you outside the hotel, I probably would have already been violated by that beast…”
“Liu Yuanlong…”
Fang Bai felt the na sounded familiar; after thinking carefully, he rembered who it was.
Liu Yuanlong was Liu Yichen’s father, a renowned real estate tycoon in Zhongzhou City with a fortune worth hundreds of millions.
Although he couldn’t compare to the Prominent Clans like the Su Family of Zhongzhou, he was still a big na among Zhongzhou’s elite.
And that guy, Liu Yichen, had not only stolen the body’s original owner’s girlfriend at Zhongzhou dical College but also provoked both openly and covertly on two occasions, ending up with a big loss at my hands.
The two of us had undoubtedly beco enemies.
The son bullied boys and dominated girls at the dical college, and the father drugged people in hotels; one was a spoiled brat, and the other a lecherous old man.
This father and son were indeed of the sa ilk!
“I did think about hiring bodyguards, but hiring bodyguards costs a lot of money!
And almost all the money I have is invested in the research and developnt of the company’s new beauty products…”
Xia Chenyu clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens: “May the gods bless us, I hope our beauty products that will be launched soon can be an instant hit and achieve great success.
Otherwise…
‘Beauty Company’ might fall into a dire situation, and my grand ambitions will dissipate in the wind…
Hah, by then, I wonder how the Shen Family people will mock again…”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Sister Xia, I believe you will definitely succeed!”
“Alright!
For that remark, I have to drink with you!”
With a “giggle,” Xia Chenyu picked up her glass, clinked it with Fang Bai’s, and then they both drained their glasses in one go.
