Chapter 139: Chapter 139 What Do These People Know

When Yang Chen stepped out of the elevator on the first floor, he found quite a few people gathered in the lobby, all huddled in the customer lounge area used for receiving guests. Several security guards from Yu Lei International were maintaining order, seemingly in dispute with someone, but for some reason, the guards dared not lay a hand on them.

As Yang Chen approached the edge of the crowd, many people noticed him. After more than a month, many people in the company had probably become familiar with him. At this moment, they immediately cast smug or mocking glances at him. Some men even raised their thumbs in what seemed like admiration for something about him. Of course, many others looked at him with disdain.

As the crowd voluntarily made way, Yang Chen easily walked to the lounge area where leather sofas were placed and saw the situation before him.

In the lounge area near the French windows, two men and a woman were sitting on a long row of sofas, while several confused Yu Lei security guards stood opposite them, along with the front desk supervisor wearing a black-and-white uniform, frowning deeply. Among the two men, one was indeed the guy Yang Chen had seen that night, Yu Guang, while the other man, dressed in a dull gray suit, looked to be in his early thirties, but with a pair of black-framed glasses and an impeccably chiseled face filled with pent-up anger, he exuded a dark, gloomy aura tinged with arrogance.

As for the woman, she was none other than Zhao Hongyan, who had not shown up for work early in the morning. At the moment, her complexion looked awful, without any makeup. Her hair seemed messy, and there were still fresh tear stains on her face as she sat nervously beside the man in the gray suit, clutching her legs tightly without moving.

Sharp-eyed Yu Guang was the first to notice Yang Chen walking in. A hint of triumphant ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he pointed at Yang Chen and shouted, "Bro, look, this man is the one who's been fooling around with your sister-in-law!"

Zhao Hongyan raised her head, seeing Yang Chen indeed arriving at the scene, a hint of panic in her eyes. She bit her lip, wanting to say something but didn't dare to speak.

"Do you need me for something?" Yang Chen glanced at the clamorous Yu Guang but turned to ask the gloomy-faced Yu Guang instead.

Yu Guang stood up, his eyes showing a hint of disdain as he asked in a deep voice, "Are you the one helping this guy bully my brother?"

"Brother?" Yang Chen asked with a smile, "Who are you referring to?"

Yu Guang shouted angrily, "Stop pretending! Little Hui told me about that day's incident long ago! You went to the bar with him, had a rendezvous in the parking lot, got caught by my brother, and then you both teamed up to drive him away! You, this filthy, disgusting social garbage, foolishly think you can deceive me?"

The surrounding employees of Yu Lei International all showed signs of realization, growing increasingly excited, murmuring incessantly.

Yang Chen sighed, "Do you just believe your brother like that? The truth might not be as you think."

"Do I have to trust a scum like you instead of believing in my own brother?" Yu Guang shouted loudly, "Let me tell you! Today, you must give me an explanation!"

Yang Chen found it somewhat absurd and asked, "Give you an explanation for what?"

"I want you to publicly admit that you have an improper relationship with my wife! You're a third party! You've done despicable things!" Yu Guang's face was stern. for new novels

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Do you have a problem with your brain? Leaving aside the fact that I haven't done anything wrong, do you really want to publicly accuse your wife like this and force another man to admit to having an improper relationship? Are you trying to ruin your own family's reputation, or are you just here to make a scene, or perhaps you enjoy being treated like an idiot?"

Yu Guang's face turned red with anger, "How dare you insult me! I am a person of education and refinement, I won't lower myself to your level! But I will expose scoundrels like you in broad daylight, to uphold the moral standards of society!"

Seeing this, Yu Guang, consumed by rage and shame, immediately shouted, "Did you all see that?! This is solid evidence! These adulterers are finally showing their true colors, yet they still refuse to admit it!"

At this point, many of the Yu Lei employees felt a great deal of sympathy for Zhao Hongyan, especially since most of them were women, naturally inclined to view the situation with compassion and understanding. As for the so-called chief editor of the major publishing house, his thoughts seemed somewhat extreme and peculiar, and everyone was inclined to ignore him.

"Get up, he's not worth you sitting on the ground for, and he's not worth your tears," Yang Chen disregarded Yu Guang's ranting, softly spoke to Zhao Hongyan.

Zhao Hongyan lifted her head. It was the first time she appeared before Yang Chen without makeup. Her tear-stained face, devoid of its usual charm, now carried a touch of purity.

As their eyes met, Zhao Hongyan saw something solemn, serious, and tender in Yang Chen's clear and bright eyes for the first time.

"Thank you," Zhao Hongyan held onto Yang Chen's hand, wiping away her tears as she stood up.

Yu Guang sneered repeatedly, "Good, good, good! What a pair of foolish lovers! If I had known earlier that you, woman, were such a flirtatious fox, I wouldn't have married you in the first place! Fortunately, it's not too late. I'll divorce you later!"

At this moment, a bystander couldn't help but speak up, "Sir, don't you know that according to the law, divorce requires both parties to sign an agreement? It's not like ancient times where a husband could just send a letter to divorce his wife. This is a rule of law society, you know?"

"Yeah, that's right. Who hasn't made mistakes? You're too harsh. Making such a big fuss about it," several girls also expressed their support for Zhao Hongyan.

Yu Guang arrogantly glanced at them and said, "What do you know?! In our old Yu family, if the daughter-in-law makes a mistake, she gets out of the house! Whether she wants to or not, she has to leave!"

"Yeah, that's right, bro. These are just employees, they don't know anything. How can they compare to our family?" Yu Hui added fuel to the fire.

Yu Guang looked satisfied and gave his brother a glance, "Little Hui, thanks to your quick thinking this time. Otherwise, who knows how long this woman would have deceived me. That would have been a disgrace to our ancestors."

"I don't know what your so-called old Yu family is, but I'm sure it's not something worth my understanding," Yang Chen shook his head with a sigh.

"We, the Yu family, are not 'something'!" Yu Guang corrected solemnly.

Yang Chen chuckled, "Whatever you say. If you say you're not 'something,' then you're not 'something.' But what I'm going to tell you now is that indeed, I did have an affair with your wife."

As soon as this statement came out, not only was Yu Guang stunned, but the other employees who had been supporting Zhao Hongyan were also dumbfounded. Yu Hui, who knew the truth, wore a puzzled expression, but the most shocked was Zhao Hongyan herself!

"Yang Chen, what are you talking about!" Zhao Hongyan blushed with embarrassment and tugged at Yang Chen's sleeve.

Before Zhao Hongyan could say anything else, Yang Chen suddenly reached out and pulled her into an embrace, intimately holding her soft body close to him!
