C12 Marry Lin Tian!
"You're the one who came onto me, you lowlife!"
"How dare you twist the story and pin the blame on me?"
"I'll end you today, you wretched woman!"
Hu Yong was livid, lunging forward to unleash a flurry of punches and kicks on Xu Lili.
Equally enraged, Xu Lili wasn't about to back down, snapping her jaws and clawing wildly at Hu Yong.
In no time, they were a bloody, screaming mess, chaos unfolding around them.
"Security, get these two foul-mouthed, low-class individuals out of here. Mingchuang Design doesn't need employees like this!"
Cheng Yuwei had seen enough and issued the command with icy detachment.
Instantly, several burly men charged at the pair.
"Yuwei, please, no! Think of all the years we've been classmates, friends. Can you really stand to throw me out of the company?"
Xu Lili was terrified at the thought of losing her coveted job.
The salary was generous, and thanks to her close friendship with Cheng Yuwei, she wielded considerable influence within the company.
Which of her colleagues would dare not greet her with the utmost respect?
The prospect of being ousted from the company was unbearable for Xu Lili.
Hu Yong was also frightened, pleading with Cheng Yuwei:
"Director Cheng, I've been nothing but diligent and devoted to this company for years. I may not have accolades, but I've certainly put in the hard work. Please, don't let me go."
Cheng Yuwei's face briefly softened with pity as she watched them beg.
But remembering their betrayal, which nearly ruined her company, her compassion evaporated.
"Xu Lili, Hu Yong, I, Cheng Yuwei, have been nothing but good to you both.
Yet you conspired with outsiders against me, nearly causing the shutdown of my company.
Did you spare a thought for me when you plotted your schemes?
Did you consider what would become of me if the company collapsed?
How could I possibly keep you in the company after that?"
Xu Lili asked, her tone icy.
"Yuwei, I realize my mistake. I was foolish, blinded by greed.
Please, give me another chance to make things right.
Do you really want to see me homeless, out on the streets?"
Xu Lili's face was a picture of despair as she slumped to the ground.
"Director Cheng, I swear, if you let me stay, I'll work tirelessly to atone for my grave sins," Hu Yong implored, falling to his knees.
But before Cheng Yuwei could respond, Lin Tian's mocking chuckle cut through the tension:
"Heh, it seems you two are mistaken about something.
Well then, allow me to reintroduce myself, and listen well:
I am Lin Tian, the current majority shareholder, chairman, and the big boss of Mingchuang Design in East River City!
So the decision about your futures here is mine to make!"
With those words, Xu Lili and Hu Yong's faces went pale.
Seeing Lin Tian's contemptuous smirk and Cheng Yuwei's cold demeanor, they knew their chances of staying were nonexistent.
Lin Tian would not forgive them.
In an instant, they rose from the ground, their faces twisted with bitterness.
Hu Yong, seething with rage, spat out his venomous curse:
"Hahaha... Cheng Yuwei, you hypocrite! Parading around like you're so pure and virtuous, yet behind closed doors, you're nothing but a harlot who lures away other women's husbands."
"And you, Lin Tian, you're no saint either! Weren't you the one seduced by me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Do you have any idea how wild your wife is in bed?"
Xu Lili spat out her curses at Lin Tian and Cheng Yuwei with venomous resentment.
"Lin Tian, you lowlife, climbing the ladder by seducing women, what gives you the right to laugh at us?
"Pah, I hope you die a miserable death.
"And you, Cheng Yuwei, did you already hop into bed with Lin Tian, this cur?
"Is that why, as soon as you heard I divorced him, you couldn't wait to help him oust me from the company?
Cheng Yuwei, you're nothing but a whore, a homewrecker!"
Cheng Yuwei was taken aback by their vile and shameless behavior, shaking with anger, her face ghostly white.
She finally unleashed her fury on them:
"I can't believe the world harbors such shameless, filthy, promiscuous creatures like you two.
Xu Lili, you're dying to know if I've ever been with Lin Tian, aren't you?
Well, let me set the record straight—I haven't!
Unlike you, we're human beings, not animals.
But that's about to change because today, I've decided to marry Lin Tian.
Xu Lili, rest assured, as an old classmate and dear friend, you'll be the first to receive our wedding invitation."
The room fell into a deathly hush once more.
Every face was etched with shock, confusion, and disbelief.
A giant question mark loomed in their minds:
"Is Director Cheng serious? Is she really going to marry Lin Tian?"
Xu Lili was stunned, her voice breaking in disbelief:
"Cheng Yuwei, you're lying! I refuse to believe you'd marry a loser like Lin Tian!"
Cheng Yuwei smirked with scorn. "Loser? Oh, Xu Lili, you're truly clueless!
A tall, handsome, wealthy catch was right before your eyes.
And yet, you chose a greasy, repulsive mongrel.
Hahaha... Xu Lili, I genuinely pity you.
But let me also offer my heartfelt thanks.
Thank you for your lack of discernment, for your shortsightedness.
How else would I have had the chance to land such an exceptional man?"
Cheng Yuwei's words cut deep, each one a dagger to Xu Lili's heart.
Xu Lili's complexion turned the color of liver.
She felt as though she was being choked, gasping for air, her body collapsing backward with a thud.
Luckily, Hu Yong was right there to catch her.
"Damn you... Don't celebrate too soon, you despicable pair.
Just wait, Director Zhao won't let this slide.
You'll both be groveling at my feet before long!"
Hu Yong's face twisted with malice.
Cheng Yuwei's face hardened at his words, worry flickering in her luminous eyes.
"Ha, hold that thought... Before worrying about our fate, perhaps you should ponder your own."
Lin Tian's lips quirked in a sly smile as a chilling light flashed in his deep-set eyes.
