Chapter 123: Congratulations to the Shen Family, You’ve Lost the Partnership

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Mingxuan felt like he was on top of the world!

He was utterly convinced that Gu Chuan could not possibly be the president of FGH, and the reasoning was simple.

First of all, no top-tier tycoon would ever work as a personal bodyguard for a minor celebrity.

Secondly, all men crave power. If Gu Chuan were truly the president of FGH, he would have made it known ages ago. There’s no way he would remain anonymous!

Lastly, Gu Chuan was only twenty-seven years old. How could someone that young have founded such a massive multinational corporation? Absolutely impossible!

Based on these points, Shen Mingxuan was certain that Gu Chuan could not be the mastermind behind FGH.

However, since Gu Chuan dared to boast about his status by leveraging the reputation of FGH, he should back it up with proof. Otherwise, Shen Mingxuan wouldn’t hesitate to make Gu Chuan lose face completely.

Shen Mingxuan puffed out his chest, expecting others to praise his cleverness and admire him, but instead, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with a trace of disdain.

Shen Mingxuan snorted inwardly, thinking that once he exposed Gu Chuan’s true identity, everyone would recognize his brilliance!

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mingxuan raised his voice, “Gu Chuan, just saying that FGH is yours doesn’t make it so. You need to show proof.”

Gu Chuan glanced at him, his cold eyes seeming to regard Shen Mingxuan as a fool.

Shen Mingxuan grew even more furious, shouting, “If you can’t provide proof, then you’re lying, and you must apologize to me and the viewers watching this livestream!”

[What’s wrong with Shen Xu?]

[Totally speechless at Shen Xu’s behavior. Yuck~]

[Why is Shen Xu so worked up about Gu Chuan being the FGH president? Is he sick or something!]

[Must be jealousy, right? Shen Xu is so petty, he can’t stand seeing someone better than him.]

[Even if Gu Chuan was lying, why does he have to apologize to Shen Mingxuan? Who gave him that right!!!]

[But Shen Xu isn’t wrong either. If Gu Chuan says FGH is his, shouldn’t he prove it?]

[Right, if Gu Chuan can’t prove it, then he’s lying and deceiving the audience. I support a ban!]

[Ban my foot. He’s not a celebrity, he’s a capital tycoon, not an entertainer!]]

At this moment, Jiang Mi narrowed her eyes at Shen Mingxuan, a dangerous aura surrounding her.

He was bullying her man in front of her!

Looking for death!

“You want proof, right? Fine, I’ll give you as much as you want!”

Seeing Jiang Mi’s fierce gaze, a strong sense of foreboding surged in Shen Mingxuan’s heart, and sure enough, in the next second, his mind exploded!

“Shen Mingxuan, ever since you entered the industry, you’ve marketed yourself as a noble scion of the Shen family, portraying yourself as their heir. But you’re not even the legitimate eldest son of the Shen family. The Shen family has never recognized you as their heir; you’re just an illegitimate child.”

Shen Mingxuan went berserk upon hearing the term “illegitimate child.” This was his lifelong shame, a stain he could never wash away!

His eyes turned bloodshot, his face contorted with madness, “Shut up! Don’t say that! That’s slander!”

“If you think it’s slander, then show proof that you’re not an illegitimate child. If you can’t, then you’re the one lying, and you owe me and the viewers an apology!”

Jiang Mi’s words were sharp, deliberately targeting his deepest fears.

In truth, Jiang Mi believed that being born out of wedlock or within marriage didn’t matter, as long as someone lived righteously and honestly. After all, children were innocent, and the fault lay with the parents.

But Shen Mingxuan, with his hypocrisy and shamelessness, was an exception.

[What?! Shen Mingxuan is an illegitimate child?]

[There was a talk show where Shen Mingxuan personally said he was the Shen family’s eldest son and future heir. This claim even trended on social media because he said he’d inherit billions after leaving the industry. Was all of that fake???]

[Not targeting illegitimate children here, but it’s disgusting for one to go around boasting about inheriting the family fortune, completely disregarding the legitimate wife and children.]

[Seriously, how shameless! His mom was a mistress, and now the son wants to seize the family fortune? The legitimate wife and son must be devastated!]

[Shen Xu’s face looks really twisted right now, clearly hit a sore spot!]

[Am I the only one who noticed that this had nothing to do with Jiang Mi, yet she went all out? We know who she’s defending.]

[Haha, Mimi is always protective of her husband. She won’t let him suffer even a little bit!]]

Shen Mingxuan was furious.

No, his mother and father were true love!

He was the rightful eldest son of the Shen family!

The label of an illegitimate child wasn’t true; Jiang Mi was slandering him to help Gu Chuan divert attention. Yes, that must be it!

Shen Mingxuan seemed to brainwash himself, glaring hatefully at Jiang Mi, “Jiang Mi, you’re deliberately slandering me to cover for Gu Chuan, right?”

To hell with that!

Jiang Mi was ready to unleash another verbal barrage, but suddenly, her wrist was gently held. The man’s warm, slightly rough hand gave her a sense of security.

Jiang Mi turned to look at Gu Chuan, who squeezed her wrist as he stood up.

Gu Chuan, towering at nearly 1.9 meters, looked even more imposing in his all-black suit, exuding an overwhelming aura.

His sharp, dark eyes locked onto Shen Mingxuan, and this time he didn’t hold back his presence. The ferocious, oppressive aura of a powerful man swept over Shen Mingxuan like a tsunami.

“You want proof? Fine. But are you sure you can handle the consequences?” Gu Chuan’s cold voice was filled with both pity and cruelty, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

A surge of intense fear gripped Shen Mingxuan. He trembled uncontrollably, his instincts screaming at him to run.

But no, his judgment couldn’t be wrong. Gu Chuan was just bluffing.

Shen Mingxuan pinched himself hard to stop his body from shaking so much. “Gu Chuan, stop playing word games. If you don’t have proof, just apologize.”

Gu Chuan smirked, his dark eyes filled with a chilling intent. His cold, merciless voice slowly filled the room.

“The Shen family has faced consecutive project failures, and their cash flow is nearly depleted. They’re currently seeking bank loans and trying to secure a partnership with FGH’s latest real estate project.”

“The new project guarantees a minimum profit of 10 billion yuan. If the Shen family secures the partnership, they’ll earn at least 2 billion yuan, enough to resolve their financial crisis.”

“But now, as the president of FGH, I officially notify the Shen family that, due to Shen Mingxuan, you’ve lost your bid. FGH will never cooperate with the Shen family again.”
