They certainly didn't believe Liu Meng could be so kind-hearted.
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Yu wants Yu Chengqun to inherit the Yu family, right? As for Yu Taiduo?" At this point, Liu Meng cast a somewhat sympathetic glance at Yu Taiduo.
"You probably want Yu Chengcai to inherit, don't you?"
Both Yu Taiduo and Yu Paoyan looked at Liu Meng with astonishment.
No matter how much they fought internally at home, these matters had never been discussed with outsiders. How did Liu Meng know?
Yu Taiduo asked, "How do you know?"
Liu Meng smiled and unfolded the paternity test report in her hand. "Because of this. Yu Chengqun is actually Yu Paoyan's son."
Yu Taiduo's eyes widened.
In this moment, he felt a rage even greater than when he learned of the betrayal.
"You old beast, I hope you die a horrible death."
Yu Paoyan wasn't afraid of Yu Taiduo at all. Now that Yu Taiduo was severely injured, he was determined to seize this opportunity to reclaim the power Yu Taiduo held.
It was time for him, the family head, to stand tall again.
Chang Lüfù, on the other hand, looked utterly indifferent. So what if they knew? What could they do?
Whether it was Yu Chengqun or Yu Chengcai, they were both her sons. It made no difference to her who inherited.
She only cared about her own future status and lifestyle.
However, Yu Taiduo definitely wouldn't let her off now. Under no circumstances could she allow Yu Taiduo to regain control.
Liu Meng didn't linger any longer and walked out of the hospital room.
Based on her understanding of the Yu family, Yu Taiduo would absolutely finish off that old man.
Everyone thought Yu Taiduo was just the pampered young master, but in reality, he was a ruthless and merciless "filial" son.
After visiting Yu Taiduo, just as Liu Meng was about to leave the hospital, she unexpectedly saw Luo Yao and Lin Ran.
"President Luo? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Yao shook her head. Lin Ran carefully supported Luo Yao as they walked to the private lounge. This scene made Liu Meng sense that Luo Yao might genuinely be ill.
But judging by her complexion, she seemed perfectly fine.
Yi Buhao hurried over, holding a report in his hand.
"President Luo, Young Master Lin, the baby is very healthy, currently at 8 weeks and 1 day."
Liu Meng's eyes were filled with shock. "President Luo, you're pregnant?"
Luo Yao nodded. Liu Meng felt as if the sky had fallen.
She had always believed Luo Yao wouldn't have children, given that her boss had such an intensely possessive nature.
Having a child would mean Young Master Lin would have to divide his attention.
But now, something seemed off.
Lin Ran frowned. "From your reaction, it seems you're not happy that Yao Yao is pregnant?"
Liu Meng snapped back to reality. "No, no, congratulations, Boss's Husband, congratulations, President Luo."
Luo Yao glanced at Liu Meng. "Don't tell anyone this news."
"Okay."
After leaving the hospital, Liu Meng returned to Luo Corporation. Sitting in her office, she felt an itch all over.
Wang Fang brought in some documents. "President Liu, there's an assistant team meeting at 10 AM today, an executive meeting at 11 AM, a cooperation negotiation with Samsung's President Park at 1 PM, and at 6 PM..."
As Wang Fang went on and on, Liu Meng gave her a sidelong glance. "Sister Wang, we've known each other for so many years. I can trust you, right?"
"Of course. Although I'm your special assistant, more often than not, I'm also your friend."
Liu Meng nodded with satisfaction. "Then let me tell you a secret. Let's be happy about it together, but you mustn't tell anyone else, okay?"
Wang Fang replied, "Okay, okay."
"President Luo is pregnant."
"Oh, that's quite normal. Women often get pregnant after marriage, don't you think... Wait, who did you say is pregnant?"
After hearing Liu Meng's explanation, Wang Fang felt her worldview had been shaken.
"Remember, you can't tell anyone, or even I won't be able to save you."
Wang Fang nodded blankly, then suddenly burst into tears.
"Waaah, President Liu, why did you have to tell me this? How am I supposed to keep it to myself? Waaah."
Liu Meng laughed. "Sister Wang, you have to hold it in, even if it's hard. Otherwise, you'll have to leave Luo Corporation and become a little princess in someone else's gilded cage."
Wang Fang composed herself. Her red, teary eyes added a touch of vulnerability that made people instinctively want to protect her.
Actually, Wang Fang was quite beautiful, with very classic, pretty features. From certain angles, she might even be more attractive than Liu Meng.
Liu Meng had a domineering, sharp beauty, while Wang Fang possessed a delicate, fragile beauty.
After Wang Fang left, Liu Meng finally shifted her gaze away from her and looked at the schedule Wang Fang had left behind.
"Park Gukgi? Negotiate cooperation? Hmph! Do you think I don't know what you're after?"
Meanwhile, the Ai family and the Yu family were going at it.
Of course, "going at it" here meant in the business arena.
And the most high-end business wars often employ the simplest methods.
The Ai family had people dump loads of sand and gravel in front of the Yu family's headquarters. If someone chased them away, they'd leave, only to return and dump more after it was cleaned up.
The Yu family wasn't one to take bullying lying down. Under Mr. Yu's direction, with Yu Chengcai temporarily in charge, they directly had a sewage truck dump its contents in front of the Ai family's headquarters.
Cleaning up sand and gravel is just laborious, but even after cleaning up sewage, the smell lingers.
Let's see who's tougher?
In the midst of this back-and-forth between the two families, Liu Meng entered the fray, sweeping through the industries of both the Yu and Ai families. This left the young Yu Chengcai overwhelmed and scrambling to cope.
Of course, Liu Meng's "sweeping" meant attacking their businesses, not absorbing them.
As the saying goes, if she truly became the sole dominant power, problems would come rushing in one after another.
Time moved to the afternoon. Park Gukgi arrived at Luo Corporation in a wheelchair.
Although he had become disabled, his spirit was incredibly resilient; otherwise, he couldn't have brought down his entire family back in South Korea.
But at this moment, he was extremely nervous because he was about to meet that angelic woman.
Following Luo Corporation's receptionist, he was wheeled into the negotiation room. Liu Meng and Wang Fang had already been waiting there for some time.
At the first sight of Liu Meng, Park Gukgi was completely stunned.
She was still as dashing and beautiful as ever.
"President Liu, it's been a long time."
Liu Meng smiled and nodded. "Please have a seat, Mr. Park."
Park Gukgi thought: Haven't I been sitting all along?
He had someone wheel his chair forward.
Today's negotiation was crucial—it concerned Luo Corporation's entry into the South Korean market. With Samsung, a longstanding local powerhouse in South Korea, as a partner, things would proceed much more smoothly.
Soon, both parties reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Coupled with Luo Corporation's control over the partnership with Samsung, Samsung demonstrated a very significant attitude and sincerity this time.
"President Liu, I wonder if I have the honor of having dinner with you?" After concluding the business talks, Park Gukgi made this request.
Liu Meng leaned back in her chair and shook her head. "I'm afraid I must apologize. I have plans for the evening. I'll have a company representative accompany you."
Hearing this, Park Gukgi felt a pang of disappointment and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I have a question I'd like President Liu to answer."
"Go ahead."
"Do you think a cripple like me... has any chance of being worthy of liking you?"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.
