Shen Yi'an walked on the road in a daze after leaving the Shen family. Suddenly, a sharp ringtone sounded, and Shen Yi'an took out his phone from his bag.
"Mr. Shen, the person who sent the video is a master hacker. We couldn't find any clues or figure out who sent it," the person on the other end of the phone said.
"Alright, I understand." Shen Yi'an hung up the phone.
At the same time, he pondered who could have sent this video to the Shen family. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anyone.
Shen Yi'an returned to the apartment he shared with Chen Yu. The room was cold and quiet; Chen Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Yu was Shen Yi'an's secretary, but recently, she had been away on business trips, negotiating projects. They had very little time to see each other.
Thinking about the company projects and funds mentioned in the email, Shen Yi'an had previously noticed that most of these projects involved the Wu family. He had always thought it was due to Chen Yu's strong work capabilities.
Now he realized it was all exchanged for her body, and he felt an inexplicable wave of disgust.
Although he had been with Chen Yu for so long, this was the first time Shen Yi'an felt aversion towards her.
He loved Chen Yu, but he couldn't tolerate her being intimate with other men, let alone using her body as a means to exchange for benefits to help him. This made him feel incompetent and worthless.
Shen Yi'an had always been like a favored son of heaven, praised by everyone, so he couldn't accept such help from Chen Yu.
As Shen Zhe Xiong had said, for the sake of the Shen family and the company, he had to break up with Chen Yu. Otherwise, if this video were to be exposed one day, it would be a severe blow to the Shen family and himself. The Shen family was already facing operational difficulties and couldn't withstand another heavy blow.
"Click." The lights in the room turned on. Seeing Shen Yi'an sitting in the living room, Chen Yu's heart was filled with joy. She hadn't seen Shen Yi'an return in a long time.
"Yi'an, you're back. Have you eaten dinner? I'll cook for you." Chen Yu walked over, smiling at Shen Yi'an.
When they first got together, she would cook meals and then have a happy dinner with Shen Yi'an.
"Don't bother. I have something to tell you," Shen Yi'an said in a low voice.
Chen Yu walked over and sat beside Shen Yi'an. "Yi'an, what do you want to tell me?"
Shen Yi'an looked up at Chen Yu, who then noticed his expressionless face and gloomy demeanor. Her heart was suddenly filled with a bad premonition.
"Chen Yu, let's break up," Shen Yi'an said slowly.
The last thing Chen Yu wanted to hear was Shen Yi'an proposing a breakup. Her face instantly turned pale. "Yi'an, why? Why are you breaking up with me? Did something happen? Did your father ask you to break up with me and go back to Song Jia Ran?"
The only reason she could think of for Shen Yi'an to break up was that the Shen family didn't approve of their relationship and wanted him to find Song Jia Ran again.
Shen Yi'an let out a cold laugh. "Chen Yu, don't you know what you've done?"
Looking at Shen Yi'an, Chen Yu appeared confused. "What are you talking about?"
Shen Yi'an took out his phone, opened the video, and handed it to Chen Yu. "Take a look for yourself. You say you love me, but you're messing around in another man's bed."
"How do you have this video? Who gave it to you?" Chen Yu suddenly became panicked. This was something she feared. She didn't know why the video had been leaked. "Yi'an, believe me, I was forced. It was Fourth Master Wu who forced me."
As she spoke, she grabbed Shen Yi'an's arm, looked at him tearfully, and wronged him. Sudancxs.com
Shen Yi'an forcefully shook off Chen Yu. "Don't worry about who gave me the video. Just tell me if the person in the video is you."
Then, Shen Yi'an added, "We're over from now on. Don't let me see you again. You make me sick."
Chen Yu wept bitterly and held Shen Yi'an tightly. "Yi'an, I did all this for you. You can't treat me like this."
Shen Yi'an pushed Chen Yu away. Chen Yu fell to the ground. He didn't care about her and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Shen Yi'an, if you dare to leave me, I'll have Fourth Master Wu stop all of the Shen family's projects," Chen Yu threatened loudly.
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Shen Yi'an paused for a moment.
Chen Yu secretly rejoiced, thinking that Shen Yi'an was still apprehensive. "Yi'an, I'm willing to do anything for you. I did all this for you. With me, the Shen family could overcome difficulties so quickly. So you can't leave me."
Shen Yi'an turned around and said coldly to Chen Yu, "Chen Yu, you think too highly of yourself. Without you, the Shen family will still find a way out of this predicament."
Just thinking that the projects he was currently responsible for were obtained by Chen Yu through such means made him feel an uncontrollable disgust.
"Shen Yi'an, I've worked for the Shen family for so long. I still have other leverage. If you dare to break up with me, I'll give that information to the media reporters and ruin you and the Shen family's reputation." Chen Yu threatened again in a cold voice.
Shen Yi'an scoffed at Chen Yu's threat. He didn't believe Chen Yu had any leverage over the Shen family.
Although she was his secretary and had access to company affairs, she couldn't access deeper matters. He figured it wasn't any important leverage and not worth fearing.
"Chen Yu, don't do anything that disappoints me further," Shen Yi'an warned.
Then, he turned around, opened the door, and left. Chen Yu's words weren't a threat to the Shen family, but to prevent the Shen family from being entangled in scandals in the future, he had to sever ties with Chen Yu now.
Between the company and Chen Yu, Shen Yi'an chose the company. He was, after all, a selfish person. For himself and the future of the company, he had to make this choice.
When Chen Yu and the Shen family were not in conflict, Shen Yi'an could give her the love she desired. After all, Chen Yu was his preferred type, and they had been together for so many years; there was still some affection between them.
However, when the two conflicted, Shen Yi'an would choose to give up Chen Yu.
For him, Chen Yu's love was not as important as the Shen family.
Upon returning to the Shen family, Shen Yi'an was summoned to the study by Shen Zhe Xiong, who asked, "Have you resolved things with Chen Yu?"
Shen Yi'an replied, "Yes, I've broken up with her."
Shen Zhe Xiong nodded. "That's good. Yi'an, she's just a woman. When the company reaches a higher level in the future, you'll find someone better."
"Mm." Shen Yi'an then told Shen Zhe Xiong about Chen Yu's threats. After all, the Wu family had greater power, and if they did anything detrimental to the Shen family, it would have a significant impact.
Shen Zhe Xiong shook his head. "It won't happen. We are cooperating with the Wu family. As far as I know, Fourth Master Wu won't make things difficult for us for the sake of a woman."
Shen Zhe Xiong had already reached an agreement with Fourth Master Wu, who would not abandon the Shen family's interests for Chen Yu.
"Mm. That's good then." Shen Yi'an replied, feeling relieved.
