I gritted my teeth, the anger and heartache inside me intertwining: "You better stay away from me, or I will make you regret it!"
I shot a glare at Chen Yifei and turned to leave the banquet hall.
Seeing that I was about to go, Lu Chen hurriedly chased after me. When he saw my expression, his heart ached for me. He pulled me tightly into his arms, continuously comforting me.
At that moment, my tears finally burst forth. "Who you choose to be with is your freedom; love who you want."
Lu Chen quickly explained, "I have nothing to do with her. I don’t know what happened just now; she suddenly leaned on me and asked me to help her for a moment. My heart has always belonged to you alone, silly girl. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were the one."
I was confused. "Have we met before?"
He hurriedly took out half of a jade pendant and handed it to me. "Do you remember this?"
Of course, I remembered; it had been taken by that boy back then: "You are the boy who saved me? How did you know it was me?"
"Once, when you were playfully fighting with Chen Yifei, I suddenly saw the jade pendant around your neck. I asked around and found out your name is Ye Lan. But seeing how much you loved Chen Yifei, I chose to silently guard you from the sidelines and be your friend. I couldn't always be by your side, but whenever you needed me, I would be there right away." He looked at me with deep affection as he spoke.
"I originally planned to quietly leave after you two got married; as long as you were happy and joyful, I would be content. But I never expected him to treat you like this; it's too despicable."
My tears flowed more abundantly, leaving Lu Chen flustered.
"Did I say something wrong? Please don't cry; I..." He could only hold me tightly in his arms, comforting me.
I felt so happy and warm inside that I quickly wiped my tears, looked up at him, stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him. Seeing his stunned expression made me smile.
After gathering enough evidence, I decided to confront the scumbag head-on.
I arranged a press conference and invited major media outlets.
At the entrance of the hotel banquet hall, I intentionally "ran into" Chen Yifei and said with a mischievous smile, "Chen Yifei, how's that Ocean Group project going? This is a big gift I've specially prepared for you; make sure to enjoy it."
He looked at me in confusion just as his phone rang: "President Chen, bad news! Our Ocean Group project is gone; they... they ran away..." His phone fell from his hand as he seemed to lose all support, looking utterly disheveled. He roared at me, "It's you! You knew all along; you set me up on purpose, didn't you?" Each word was squeezed out through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.
I couldn't be bothered with him. Taking a deep breath, I walked into the press conference venue with determined and cold eyes.
The media reporters were already in position, flashes going off in anticipation of the explosive news about to be revealed.
Dressed in a well-tailored black suit, I walked confidently onto the stage, each step exuding undeniable confidence and determination.
"Hello everyone in the media," I said from the stage, my gaze piercing as I looked directly at the pale-faced and trembling Chen Yifei below. My voice was clear and firm, resonating throughout the venue: "Chen Yifei, you once thought you could use me and exploit the Ye Family's trust to do whatever you wanted. You forged evidence to frame the Ye Family and even sacrificed innocent lives just to satisfy your greedy desires. But today, I'm here to tell you that everything you've done will face its rightful judgment here."
I paused slightly, scanning everyone present before continuing: "Did you think your schemes could remain hidden in darkness forever? No! Justice may be delayed but will never be absent. Today, I'm going to show everyone your true colors and your crimes!"
The venue fell silent as everyone held their breath in anticipation.
I gently pressed the remote, and the large screen began to play a series of meticulously prepared videos and documents, each frame capturing evidence of the collusion between Chen Yifei and Wang Qiang. This included their channels for spreading negative information, records of their connections with media and opinion manipulators, drafts of false contracts, and transaction records—ranging from footage of their secret meetings to the financial flows involving the Ye Family in their ruthless schemes, and even the conspiracy plans to frame the Ye Family...
As the evidence displayed on the big screen one by one, my voice gradually grew more passionate: "These videos, these documents, are irrefutable proof of your crimes. They record every betrayal, every scheme, every merciless attack against the Ye Family. You once thought you could escape unscathed, but today, you will pay for your actions!"
I looked at Chen Yifei, my eyes filled with anger and determination: "Chen Yifei, in a past life, you caused my family to fall apart; you destroyed everything I had. Today, I want you to know that I, Ye Lan, am no longer that little woman you could manipulate. I have returned from my rebirth to make you pay—blood for blood!"
