Chapter 51 Bitch!

The Speed Swift Shipping line was an ocean route connecting with the island nation, a project currently being handled by Shen Qianchi.

Perhaps to make amends for today's incident, Shen Zhou slowly opened his closed eyes, his gaze falling upon Shen Qianchi's face.

Shen Qianchi possessed a classically elite appearance—sharp and heroic.

After studying him for a few seconds, Shen Zhou picked up the contract from the coffee table and smiled, "Very well."

With that, he stood up and looked at Tang Yuan, "Wife, let's go."

Tang Yuan felt a sense of unease. Having known Shen Zhou for so many years, she naturally knew when he was angry.

His emotions were rarely displayed outwardly, but there was truth to the saying that the quietest dogs bite the hardest.

She hurriedly stood up as well, "Dad, Mom, I'll be leaving first."

Yao Mei felt uneasy and quickly chased after them all the way to the car.

"Xiao Zhou, did you hear those things? I was just rambling nonsense."

Shen Zhou grabbed Tang Yuan's wrist, opened the car door, and pushed her inside.

As the car door closed, Tang Yuan sat within, unable to hear what they were saying.

Shen Zhou merely smiled, but Yao Mei's eyes turned red.

Tang Yuan guessed that the problem this time was likely quite serious.

After getting into the car, Shen Zhou closed his eyes and told Jiang Nian to drive.

Through the rearview mirror, Tang Yuan could still see Yao Mei standing outside.

This woman, usually so harsh and petty toward her, was as humble as could be when facing Shen Qianchi.

When the car stopped at Shuiyue Bay, Tang Yuan got out first.

Had it been her past self, she would have certainly tried her utmost to stay by Shen Zhou's side.

Yet now, having woken up to reality, she knew there were plenty of little mistresses who could keep him company.

She pointed to her own car parked nearby, "Husband, I'm going to check on my studio."

Shen Zhou had no time to spare for her. Seeing that Tang Yuan had left, he said to Jiang Nian, "Go investigate my father's past."

Forty minutes later, the moment he sat down in his company office, Jiang Nian brought over the gathered information.

"President, the Master indeed had a woman he fancied back then, but they broke up very quickly and he married Madam instead. After all, they had an engagement."

The gathered information was extremely brief. Jiang Nian had tried to find more clues, but everything had been wiped too clean.

Shen Zhou glanced through the pages and tossed them onto the desk, "Even that woman's name isn't clear?"

"The Master must have handled these leads himself. I even had people probe Madam indirectly, but she doesn't know either."

A cynical laugh escaped Shen Zhou's lips, a sight Jiang Nian rarely witnessed.

His slender fingertips tapped against the documents. "In my father's eyes, interests come above all else."

Even if he had truly lost his heart to another woman, if that woman ever threatened his status, he would discard her without a moment's hesitation.

Yao Mei had the backing of a decent family, which could provide massive support to Shen Qianchi at the time. Since Shen Qianchi chose to marry her, it seemed the background of the woman who had captivated him must have been quite poor.

An illegitimate child...

The Shen family did not tolerate the existence of illegitimate children.

He leaned back in his chair, though he could not entirely rule out exceptions.

"Keep digging."

Do not let him find out who that potentially existing, shameful illegitimate child might be.

Tang Yuan was not actually heading to her studio; she was going to visit Fu Yansheng on set.

The crew had finished filming in the countryside and had now relocated to the film city.

Before Fu Yansheng made a name for himself, the recruitment plans for her studio had to be put on hold.

The moment her car stopped at the gates of the film city, she caught sight of that female CEO from Baisheng who had slept with Shen Zhou.

The female CEO was wearing sunglasses today, but upon seeing Tang Yuan, she took them off.

No matter how formidable a woman might be, the moment she fell into the trap of romance, she became foolish.

A flash of jealousy crossed Sheng Yun's eyes. Remembering Shen Zhou's ruthlessness, her expression turned foul.

"Whom is Mrs. Shen visiting on set today?"

Could it be that she was having a secret affair with some actor?

That would certainly be amusing; a scandal of a Tang family woman cheating would make major headlines in high society.

Tang Yuan stepped aside with poised grace, "Just dropping by to look around."

She did not go inside. Sheng Yun clearly wanted to target her, and if the other woman discovered Fu Yansheng's existence, it would invite endless trouble.

Sheng Yun put her sunglasses back on and stepped slightly closer, "On your wedding anniversary, five minutes after President Shen left, we shared a very passionate kiss outside."

Tang Yuan had long been aware of Shen Zhou's promiscuity, but her heart still inevitably took a sharp blow.

Sheng Yun sighed, raised a hand to pat Tang Yuan's shoulder, "He loves kissing women while gripping their necks; I almost lost my breath. Mrs. Shen, didn't you satisfy the man enough at home..."

As she reached the end of her sentence, her voice lifted with a distinct note of smugness.

"Right, the first time we slept together was at your house. That day I wore your pajamas—the yellow one. It was so thrilling! You put your wedding photo on the bedside table; you must really love him, huh?"

Tang Yuan's hand hanging by her side tightened slightly. Just how foolish had she been in the past? She remembered returning home one day and indeed noticing that the yellow nightgown had a slightly different scent, assuming she had simply forgotten to wash it. She had even found a hair on it that did not match her own length.

At the time, Shen Zhou had tapped the tip of her nose and smiled gently, "You're just being paranoid."

Seeing Tang Yuan's changing expression, Sheng Yun felt much better inside. She adjusted her sunglasses, "I'm definitely not the first woman he's brought back. President Shen is so wild that your pajamas have probably all been worn by someone else. I even wore your high heels, you know? He likes women to wear high heels in bed, especially that silver pair of yours."

The moment those words fell, a heavy slap landed squarely across her cheek.

Sheng Yun froze. Her sunglasses were sent flying, and she stared at Tang Yuan in sheer disbelief.

Tang Yuan still wore a smile on her face as she uttered two words, "Bitch!"

With that, she turned and got back into her car.

Sheng Yun stood rooted to the spot, her entire body trembling, her teeth grinding audibly, while her eyes burned with a terrifying glare.
