Three minutes after the divorce became public, everyone was waiting to laugh at Shen Qingli.
Her former mother-in-law reminded her in front of everyone: "You have nothing to do with the Lu family anymore."
But Shen Qingli took her wine, crossed half the banquet hall, and linked arms with Zhou Yanci, the older brother Lu Huai feared most.
When reporters asked about their relationship, she smiled brightly. "I'm pursuing him."
The whole room erupted.
But Zhou Yanci didn't expose her. Instead, he took her hand. "You haven't won me over yet, Miss Shen. Keep trying."
Everyone thought she'd rushed to find a new backer as soon as she got divorced.
Until she reclaimed the voting rights attached to her 12% stake in Lu Group and publicly halted her ex-husband's 2.6-billion-yuan project; the identity of the mysterious mergers-and-acquisitions tycoon S was revealed, shaking the investment world; and one by one, her identities came to light: the genius jewelry designer who had been missing for years, the low-profile head of a special opportunities fund...
Only then did everyone realize:
She had never been Mrs. Lu because she depended on the Lu family.
Lu Huai finally understood that the person behind him during his most successful years had always been her.
And Shen Qingli, who at first only wanted to use Zhou Yanci's 17% stake, gradually realized things had spiraled out of control.
The man blocked her against the door and asked in a low voice:
"Shen Qingli, do you want my 17%, or do you want me?"
