The Empty Bridal Chamber

For the sake of her family's dying company, Lin Wanmeng was forced to marry Ye Lingxiao, a man in a vegetative state. It was a solo wedding, after which she found that her boyfriend, Shen Yusong, was sleeping with her best friend. She gritted her teeth and decided to use her new status as Mrs. Ye to punish those scum! Throwing herself in front of Ye Lingxiao's, she bawled, "Oh, my husband... Don't worry. I will take care of you so that you recover soon! Sob..." The Ye family sighed. "We've picked the right girl. She just might be Lingxiao's lucky star!" "What a fine child! You will have played the most important role if he recovers!" "Yes, this is the right wife for my son. Shame he's so unfortunate in life!" Although Lin Wanmeng lay motionlessly in bed, he thought then that she was quite the actress, so he pinned her underneath himself and went for it. Later, rumors swirled everywhere that the persistently praised daughter-in-law of the Ye Family was pregnant with a bastard soon after her belly started to bulge. When the Ye family came with a bone to pick, Ye Lingxiao descended upon them, tenderly caressing her belly as he spoke words that left everyone shaking in their boots: "Call my son a bastard again, and I will tear your tongue out." As Shen Yusong saw Lin Wanmeng becoming more reliant on Ye Lingxiao by the day, he broke down and slapped himself across the face. "Oh, Wanmeng! I was wrong! The one I love has always been you! Let's elope! "Really? You're getting gutsier by the day, teasing your aunt now too!" Ye Lingxiao strode towards them and kicked Shen Yusong away before grabbing Lin Wanmeng by the chin and kissing her. She was sobbing as she wrapped her hands around his neck, complaining, "Oh, darling... If you were a second later, you would have lost your wife and son..."

The quarrel at the banquet affected their daily interaction. Ye Lingxiao gradually stopped going home, and Lin Wanmeng never asked where he went.

She now had a new goal, which was to strike while the iron was hot and destroy Lin Bo's company.

Lin Wanmeng finally had the confidence to settle both old and new scores.

Lin Bo's company had already suffered a blow. For some reason, the Ye Corporation, which was originally friendly to them, suddenly stopped all business with their company, even the neighbouring companies were affected.

Lin Bo was in a terrible fix. He knew why Lin Wanmeng wanted to attack the Lin Corporation, so he had requested to negotiate for peace many times with Lin Wanmeng.

After several big orders were snatched away, Lin Bo finally couldn't take it anymore. He called Lin Wanmeng's assistant for the last time. His attitude was very sincere. He even asked the old employees of the company to help him intercede.

Lin Wanmeng was originally cold to him, but for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind.

At the Lin family home.

When Shi Yanru opened the door and realized that it was Lin Wanmeng, the smile on her face immediately collapsed.

However, just as she was about to close the door, the butler said, "This is Mr. Lin's guest."

Because of the company's deficit these few days, Shi Yanru could not squander freely outside and quarreled with Lin Bo several times.

After being reprimanded, she did not dare to cause trouble. When she heard the butler say this, she hurriedly squeezed out a smile. "Mengmeng, you're back."

Lin Wanmeng's face was full of doubt. "I'm sorry, do I know you?"

Since she did not come with good intentions, Shi Yanru did not stand on ceremony anymore. She sashayed back to the living room and sat down. "What are you doing here?"

She knew that Lin Wanmeng had been developing well recently. She was worried that Lin Wanmeng was here to discuss Lin Bo's remarriage with that b*tch, so the words she said stung.

"Let me tell you, Lin Bo and your mother are already divorced. Logically speaking, this isn't your home. You'd better behave yourself."

At this point, Shi Yanru's true nature could be said to have been completely revealed.

However, Lin Wanmeng had expected this. She slowly took a sip of tea. The butler beside her knew what was going on, but he did not dare to say anything. He could only bite the bullet and endure it.

"You might have misunderstood. I came back to discuss business with Mr. Lin. As for the rest, I don't think we have anything to talk about."

Her words successfully made Shi Yanru nervous. The more indifferent the other party was, the more Shi Yanru felt that something was wrong.

"Do you want your good-for-nothing mother to come back? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. The Lin family is mine!"

Lin Wanmeng could tolerate Shi Yanru's insults, but she could not tolerate her insulting her mother.

She stood up in a flash. Before the butler and Shi Yanru could react, she raised her hand and slapped Shi Yanru hard.

"You… How dare you hit me!"

Shi Yanru's eyes were filled with tears. She covered half of her face and sprawled on the sofa.

She roared fiercely, "Have you all became stupid? Hurry up and drag this lunatic out."

The butler was in a difficult position. Lin Bo had instructed that Lin Wanmeng was an esteemed guest that should stay no matter what, but Shi Yanru was also the mistress of the Lin family.

"Shi Yanru, let me tell you, you insulted my mother. You deserve this slap."

Lin Wanmeng slowly wiped her hands and picked up her bag. "As for you deliberately seducing him and being a mistress, you still owe her a slap."

Seeing that Lin Wanmeng was about to leave, the butler hurriedly went forward to stop her and said awkwardly, "President Lin, look…"

"Please help me relay this to Mr. Lin. We can discuss about it, but he has to give me his sincerity."

Shi Yanru looked at Lin Wanmeng with her mouth agape. How did this b*tch suddenly become a distinguished guest of the Lin family?!

She took two steps forward in her high heels and pointed at Lin Wanmeng. Before she could open her mouth, she was blocked by the other party.

"From a personal point of view, I want to tell you something." Lin Wanmeng's face was filled with mockery. "You cradle that man in the palms of your hands, but no one wants to snatch him. You don't have to bark at people like a dog seeing bones."

Lin Wanmeng was not in the mood to argue with her. She got into the car and left.

Shi Yanru glared at Lin Wanmeng and bit her lip unwillingly.

'What happened?'

This mother-daughter pair had always been at their mercy and deceived. How did they become so powerful now?!

After leaving the Lin family, Lin Wanmeng did not go to the company. Her previous car had been scrapped for too long. Recently, she had been riding in the Ye family's car, so it was inevitably inconvenient.

She had the time to buy herself a new car today.

She chose a nearby car dealership. Half an hour later, a familiar figure came downstairs. "President Lin, we meet again."

As if they had really met by chance, He Yan came up to greet her familiarly.

Lin Wanmeng was a little surprised. Fortunately, He Yan explained in time, "This is a car dealership under our company. A friend saw President Lin coming and called me."

Lin Wanmeng did not think too much about it. After a while, Shi Qiuqiu walked in with a murderous aura. When she saw her, she pointed at Lin Wanmeng's nose and shouted, "Did you hit my mother?"

It seemed that Lin Bo did not go home. Instead, Shi Qiuqiu went home first.

Lin Wanmeng sneered, "So what if I did?"

Shi Qiuqiu held her breath but didn't act immediately.

She glared at Lin Wanmeng and made a call. Not long after, Shen Yusong walked in. When he saw Lin Wanmeng, he was stunned.

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a car?" He looked at Shi Qiuqiu.

Ever since Ye Lingxiao woke up, Shen Yusong had put aside his ambitions for the time being. He was focused on the company, so he was naturally impatient with Shi Qiuqiu's complaints and curses at Lin Wanmeng.

Especially when he found out that Lin Wanmeng's Qinyu Corporation was thriving, while Shi Qiuqiu's Lin Corporation was almost suppressed into a small third-rate company, he became even more impatient.

If not for the fact that Shi Qiuqiu was usually rather attentive to him when they were affectionate, Shen Yusong would have dumped her long ago.

Shi Qiuqiu did not call Shen Yusong over to be in a daze. She stomped her feet and pointed at Lin Wanmeng. "She went to the Lin family today to hit my mother."

Shi Qiuqiu grabbed Shen Yusong's arm and shouted coquettishly, "Hurry up and teach her a lesson for me."

Shi Qiuqiu was indeed brainless to seek help from Shen Yusong.

As expected, Shen Yusong frowned and removed Shi Qiuqiu's hand from his arm. "Stop fooling around. This is President Lin."

He turned around and smiled at Lin Wanmeng. "Mengmeng, long time no see. You've been busy with work recently and have lost some weight."

Lin Wanmeng looked at Shen Yusong mockingly. However, the other party was not embarrassed at all and continued to look at her affectionately.

"It's Qiuqiu's fault this time, but on account that she's your sister, forget it."

Lin Wanmeng was done laughing. She stretched out a hand and placed it in front of Shen Yusong. "Stop. You have to make it clear. When did I have such a sister?"

An awkward expression appeared on Shen Yusong's face. He did not expect Lin Wanmeng to be so merciless.
