Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Yan Xuxu didn't know how she had offended the client.

I was forced to drink nearly ten shots of strong liquor in one night, but what I received wasn't a cooperation agreement, but rather a sentence...

"Ms. Yan, there is a gift for you in the presidential suite upstairs. Please check it before we discuss business."

Exhausted and confused, Yan Xuxu forced her limp body to go upstairs.

Upon opening the door, a series of suggestive sounds rushed out, making one blush.

She thought she had gone to the wrong room and was about to leave quietly when she heard voices coming from inside.

"Ah Zhou, are you really willing to let Yan Xuxu keep running around doing business? Don't you plan to give her a more comfortable job?"

The familiar voice showed no pity whatsoever, "I married her for the position of company president. She'll help me solidify my position, isn't that perfect!"

A chill ran through Yan Xuxu's heart, and she barely managed to steady her swaying body by leaning against the wall.

The person inside... was her husband, Shen Mingzhou.

"Tell me honestly, you've known Yan Xuxu for so many years, and she's been so devoted to you, haven't you felt even a little bit attracted to her?"

"It's because we've known each other for so long that I can't muster any interest in that area. If it weren't for what happened five years ago..."

Yan Xuxu was already numb from the pain.

Yes, if it weren't for that drunken incident five years ago, she wouldn't have married Shen Mingzhou.

The Yan family and the Shen family used to be neighbors, and she and Shen Mingzhou had never gotten along since childhood.

Instead, he became very close to his non-blood-related older brother.

Five years ago, she had an unexpected relationship with Shen Mingzhou after getting drunk, and became pregnant. Under pressure from both families, she had no choice but to get married because of the pregnancy.

After marriage, Shen Mingzhou took meticulous care of her throughout her pregnancy. Even after the child died, he carefully looked after her during her postpartum period. Over time, he warmed her heart and made her take the marriage seriously.

She felt sorry for Shen Mingzhou, who was suffering from headaches every day because of work, so she quit her job to take care of his social engagements.

Little did they know, it was all just a scheme and manipulation!

"So you used someone else's identity information to get a marriage certificate with her, leaving yourself a way out?"

Su Wanqing fiddled with the expensive necklace around her neck, then took a picture and uploaded it to her WeChat Moments.

Yan Xuxu thought she had blacked out from drinking and was hallucinating.

What is other people's information?

Are she and Shen Mingzhou not actually husband and wife?

Shen Mingzhou remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Su Wanqing continued, "Your grandfather liked her so much that he insisted you marry her before handing over the inheritance to you. What if things get out? How do you plan to cover it up?"

Shen Mingzhou lit a cigarette and sneered, "Yan Xuxu can't leave me. The Yan family has long since lost its foothold. If she leaves me, she has nowhere better to go."

"As for me being the only heir of the Shen family, what can Grandpa do even if he doesn't like me? That adopted son has been missing for five years, so I can only be the president of Ming'an Group."

After saying that, he glanced at the time, then stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "I'm not saying anything more. I told her I was working overtime. It'll be troublesome if she comes back to the company and finds me gone."

Shen Mingzhou got out of bed, dressed, and resumed his usual impeccably dressed appearance. He then took Su Wanqing's arm and left the presidential suite.

Hiding in the corner, Yan Xuxu completely lost control of her emotions, her body slowly sliding to the ground, covering her lips and sobbing uncontrollably.

At first, Shen Mingzhou was not the most ideal successor in Grandpa Shen's mind.

It was after their marriage that she helped him secure one project after another, which enabled him to gain Grandpa Shen's favor and become the president of Ming'an Group.

But to my surprise, he looked down on her from the very beginning!

He used gentle lies to coax her for so many years, just to secure his position as heir!

Yan Xuxu had no desire to go back and discuss cooperation, nor did she have the energy to figure out why the client wanted her to watch such a good show.

Wiping away her tears and calming herself down, she took her phone out of her bag and dialed a number.

"Please check my marital status with Shen Mingzhou. It's very likely that Shen Mingzhou is not my husband."

*

Yan Xuxu is used to not driving when she goes out to discuss cooperation, because it's inconvenient if she's drinking.

In the past, it would take a long time to get a taxi at this time, but tonight it went exceptionally smoothly.

She walked to the roadside in a daze, and a taxi happened to stop next to her.

It was as if they had been waiting specifically for her to appear.

Yan Xuxu didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a coincidence, and gave her address after getting on the bus.

Shen Mingzhou did not return tonight as expected.

The nanny is on leave these days, and the huge villa is empty. Under the bright lights, it is desolate and quiet, devoid of any human presence.

Yan Xuxu stumbled upstairs and immediately rummaged through the cabinet to find her marriage certificate, examining it carefully.

All the information was from her and Shen Mingzhou.

The official seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau on the photo is so clear.

Who would have thought that this was a forged document!

Ironically, she hadn't noticed all these years!

Yan Xuxu smiled and then tears streamed down her face again.

She tore the marriage certificate in half, slammed it to the ground, and roared, "Shen Mingzhou! How could you do this to me!"

Even if they don't love each other, they've been childhood friends for over twenty years. No one would be so heartless!

But he actually used someone else's information to register their marriage, without considering what kind of situation this would put her in!

Drunk and agitated, Yan Xuxu experienced waves of intense stomach cramps. After the pain subsided, she dry heaved, unable to vomit anything, yet tears streamed down her face. She felt as if her intestines were being pulled and twisted by countless hands, making even breathing difficult.

She forced herself to calm down, rummaged through the cabinet for some stomach medicine and swallowed it. Without even taking a shower, she lay on the bed breathing heavily.

As the medication gradually took effect, her mind became clearer, and she closed her eyes to think about what to do next.

Without a marital relationship, she could simply walk away, and no one could stop her.

But her maternal grandfather's medical books were still with Ming'an Group, so she couldn't afford to break ties with Shen Mingzhou.

Back then, Shen Mingzhou couldn't achieve any results at the company, and his grandfather kept putting pressure on him. Unable to bear the pressure, he borrowed a medical book from her.

Two years ago, Shen Mingzhou reorganized the company, and many documents and files were re-filed, including the medical book, which was also registered as part of Ming'an Group's assets.

Shen Mingzhou explained it to her and even signed a temporary safekeeping agreement with her, but the agreement did not specify when it would be returned.

At that time, she was completely devoted to Shen Mingzhou and signed the papers without thinking.

Unexpectedly, this has now become an obstacle to her leaving.

This medical book is the culmination of my maternal grandfather's life's work, containing prescriptions for various medicines, making it extremely precious.

Since Shen Mingzhou is so heartless, there's no need for her to continue playing the good guy. When he comes back, she needs to test his intentions first, and then find a way to get the medical book back.

It wasn't until dawn that Yan Xuxu finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep.

I didn't sleep well.

Yan Xuxu was tormented by nightmares, clutching the bedsheets tightly and sobbing.

In my dream, I saw that familiar, reliable figure walking forward without hesitation, heading into the darkness she could not reach.

"Don't go..."
