"I can accomplish both options easily—take your pick,"
Shen Yuexin's tone was even, but beneath that calmness was undeniable dominion.
As the President of Huamei Group, she had every right to be so imperious!
"President Shen, is there really no third path we can take?"
Chen Yuelin's voice was tinged with defeat, and one could easily picture him looking suddenly much older.
After all, the entire Yuelin Group was the work of Chen Yuelin's lifetime.
He started from scratch and had overcome countless hardships, even life-and-death crises, to bring Yuelin Group to its current stature, only to have it pushed to the edge of a cliff by Chen Bai's arrogant incompetence during its rapid rise.
Chen Yuelin had no way out; his only option was to move forward.
And moving forward... there was but a slim chance of survival!
"A third path?"
Shen Yuexin thought for a moment, then said, "There is one—I could personally intervene to acquire Yuelin Group. But with my methods, I would clear out all the members of Yuelin Group's board, and as for your shares..."
Chen Yuelin fell silent, while Chen Bai's heart nearly leapt into his throat.
"Chen Yuelin, believe me, in my eyes, Yuelin Group is nothing more than a child's plaything. If I so wish, the entire Yuelin Group could be mine—do you believe that?"
"I do."
Chen Yuelin nearly spat out the words through clenched teeth.
Though he hated to admit it, Chen Yuelin had to acknowledge that with Shen Yuexin's tactics, if she wanted to leave him no way out, he truly would have none.

"You should thank yourself that I'm even considering acquiring your group and not just letting it collapse because of the great potential Yuelin Group still holds,"
Shen Yuexin waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, I've said all I need to say. I trust you know what to choose."
After a long pause, a sigh from Chen Yuelin could finally be heard on the other end of the phone.
"I understand..."
Chen Bai felt utter despair. Just as he was about to put the phone down, he heard Shen Yuexin say, "Wait!"
"Please speak, President Shen!"
Chen Yuelin's voice instantly perked up with a hint of hope mixed in.
"I warn you, take the money you're entitled to and disappear from my sight, Shen Yuexin. Don't even entertain the thought that you might make a comeback under my watch. If I find out you harbor any delusions about 'remaining green to kindle the fire anew,' I won't give you another chance to live—understand?"
When Shen Yuexin said this, her tone was incredibly stern, and even her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of lethality.
"I understand..." Chen Yuelin said dejectedly.
He knew there was no turning back, although he had genuinely considered starting another company with that money.
But Shen Yuexin's words had effectively blocked his every avenue for entrepreneurship.
It was clear what Shen Yuexin meant: Chen Yuelin could only use that money to enjoy his retirement.
After hanging up, Chen Bai staggered several steps back, slumping against the wall, his legs weak.
He deeply regretted his actions, wishing he could bash his head against the wall, but he simply didn't have the courage...
Shen Yuexin looked on indifferently at Chen Bai, asking, "Now do you understand who I am?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bai nearly choked, a mouthful of blood on the verge of spilling out.
He couldn't bear to stay there a moment longer and tried to leave immediately.
Seeing this, Qiao Lixue hurried over to help steady Chen Bai.
"Smack!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Bai turned around and delivered a resounding slap.
Qiao Lixue was stunned by the sudden blow, standing there cupping her face in shock.
"You bitch, it's all your fault! All because of you!!!"
Chen Bai's eyes looked like they were about to pop out as he pointed at Qiao Lixue and cursed, "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this! How could my dad's group have ended up like this!"
"Chen Bai, calm down a bit..."
Qiao Lixue wanted to say something, but Chen Bai slapped her again and then stormed off in anger.
Having been slapped twice, Qiao Lixue's face was nearly lost.
In fact, she didn't feel any guilt towards Ye Ling.
If she truly did, how could she have abandoned her former boyfriend Ye Ling to begin with?
Her visit today had two purposes, the first was for the house belonging to Ye Ling's family, and the second...
Clearly, it wasn't true guilt, but rather she wanted to flaunt her wealthy boyfriend.
But she could never have expected things to turn out this way, to end up with such a result.
"Ye Ling!!!"
Qiao Lixue suddenly turned around, her otherwise beautiful face now somewhat hideous.
"Are you satisfied now? You've made me lose face and caused my boyfriend to lose his fortune. Are you happy now?"
Ye Ling frowned. Could all this be blamed on him?
"Qiao Lixue, let me make it clear to you, I'm not the Ye Ling I used to be, and I have nothing to do with you. Leave my house before I start to entertain the thought of hitting a woman," Ye Ling said.
"What if I don't want to? Can you hit me? Go on, hit me?!"
Qiao Lixue's voice was sharp, and as she spoke, she even walked towards Ye Ling.
"Slap!"
Just at that moment, another loud slap landed on Qiao Lixue's face.
Qiao Lixue was stunned.
Because the one who slapped her wasn't Ye Ling, but Shen Yuexin.
"You... what right do you have to hit me?" Qiao Lixue asked reflexively.
"Because you deserved it."
Shen Yuexin pointed towards the door and said, "I'm giving you three seconds to leave. If you're still standing in front of me after that, you'll also be bankrupt."
"You!" seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Qiao Lixue wanted to curse at Shen Yuexin, but remembering what had happened before, she held back and quickly left.
Though she was angry, she hadn't lost her reason; she didn't want to end up bankrupt herself.
"Domineering, truly domineering!"
Watching Qiao Lixue leave, Li Dazhu gave Shen Yuexin a thumbs up and sincerely admired, "Seriously, I, Li Dazhu, have lived for over 20 years and have never seen a woman as domineering as President Shen. Today has been quite an eye-opener."
Ye Ling also looked Shen Yuexin up and down.
He couldn't help but recall the scene from a few days ago when Shen Yuexin's handbag was snatched.
It was hard to imagine that the woman who seemed so fragile back then could have such a domineering side to her.
"Alright, now that everything's been taken care of, I should also be heading back," Shen Yuexin said.
Shen Yuexin smiled at Wang Shufen and said, "Auntie, thank you for your hospitality."
"Miss Shen, why the hurry? Can't you stay for dinner?" Wang Shufen quickly asked.
Wang Shufen had seen everything and had taken a strong liking to Shen Yuexin.
"No, Auntie, I have things to attend to this afternoon. I will visit again when I have the time," Shen Yuexin replied.
After speaking, Shen Yuexin took out her phone and dialed a number.
