Soon, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

The grand Su Family Business Gathering began.

Everyone who could attend this gathering was an important figure in Hai City's business world.

Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran stood at the entrance with Su Lili, Su Qiqi, and Su Mu, welcoming the guests.

Although Su Chen had attended the Business Gathering, he really could not be bothered to put on an act with them at the entrance. He sat on a sofa inside the banquet hall, playing on his phone.

"Chairman Su, these must be your three children. Every one of them is exceptional!"

"General Zhao, you flatter us. Your children are also promising young talents with outstanding appearances!"

"Haha, you flatter us!"

About five minutes later, a plump old man with a crafty smile in his eyes arrived with a young woman.

Su Zhenxing immediately led Liu Yanran and the children to greet the old man even more warmly.

This old man, Wang Hai, was also the founder of Tian Di Hai, a first-rate company in Hai City. Its market value was only slightly lower than Su Corporation's.

The Su Family and the Wang Family had always intended to form a business marriage alliance and join forces.

The intended pair were Su Mu and Wang Yiyi, who had come to the Su Family Business Gathering with Wang Hai this time.

That was why the Su Family treated Wang Hai and Wang Yiyi with such warmth.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Wang Yiyi spotted Su Chen sitting on the sofa. She frowned, her face full of disgust.

"Why did you let that little piece of trash attend the Business Gathering?!"

"This is such an important occasion. What right does that little trash have to be here?!"

Yes, Wang Yiyi deeply despised Su Chen.

After all, her intended marriage partner was Su Mu. Su Chen was, after all, the Su Family's biological son. Although Su Chen could be said to be utterly mediocre, even embarrassing, the mere fact that he was the Su Family's biological son posed a huge threat to Su Mu's inheritance of the Su family fortune.

Sensing a hostile gaze, Su Chen looked up and saw Wang Yiyi standing at the entrance, glaring at him with malice written all over her face.

Su Chen instantly recalled everything Wang Yiyi had done to him in his previous life, as well as her ending.

In his previous life, in order to strike at Su Chen, Wang Yiyi would verbally humiliate him every time she saw him. Whenever she did not see him, she would look for opportunities everywhere to spread all sorts of embarrassing stories about him.

In the end, with the help of Wang Yiyi and the Wang Family, Su Mu overcame every obstacle, defeated Su Lili, and seized control of the Su Family's businesses.

But just when the Wang Family and Wang Yiyi believed they could marry Su Mu and form a powerful alliance, Su Mu produced a large number of photos showing Wang Yiyi frequenting nightclubs, smoking, drinking, and sleeping around since her teenage years. He openly declared that Wang Yiyi was not qualified to become the mistress of Su Corporation.

Faced with Su Mu's photos, in order to preserve Wang Yiyi's value as a marriage alliance candidate, the Wang Family could only painfully abandon the idea of marrying into the Su Family.

That was right. Wang Yiyi was a good girl who treated nightclubs as her home, smoked, drank, and slept around.

Wang Yiyi believed that none of the men she had shared fleeting romances with were worthy of a good girl like her. Only the son of the wealthiest family in Hai City, the Su Family, was worthy of her.

That was why she had spared no effort in helping Su Mu expand his business and strike at Su Chen.

Yet she had never expected that Su Mu had begun investigating her as early as her teenage years and had kept so many scandalous photos of her.

Su Chen glanced at Wang Yiyi, who was looking at him with hostility, and smiled.

Su Chen then looked at Su Mu.

Presumably, Su Mu had already begun investigating Wang Yiyi by now, and his phone probably already contained plenty of Wang Yiyi's scandalous photos, right?!

Faced with Wang Yiyi's cruel words, the Su Family all gave awkward smiles.

No one said anything.

After all, they also believed that Su Chen was not qualified to attend this Business Gathering.

However, the influence of the deceased Su Grandmother still weighed heavily on the Su Family's hearts. No one dared say that Su Chen was not qualified to attend.

Wang Hai was an old hand. Seeing the expressions on the Su Family's faces, he knew there was more to the matter and hurriedly stopped Wang Yiyi, who was about to go over and cause trouble for Su Chen.

Before learning exactly what had happened, it was best not to stir up any more trouble.

At last, everyone had arrived for the Business Gathering.

As the organizer of this gathering, Su Zhenxing naturally took the stage first and delivered an impassioned speech.

Then it was Su Mu's time to perform.

In order to lay a foundation of connections for Su Mu's future business development, Su Zhenxing had specifically arranged speaking time for him.

After Su Zhenxing stepped down, Su Mu, brimming with confidence and looking every bit the outstanding young man, first plugged his phone into the computer displaying the PPT below the stage and opened the speech he had prepared for today. Only then did he confidently take the stage to give his speech.

Next would be Su Mu's moment in the spotlight.

The businesspeople below began discussing among themselves.

"Just look at how well the Su Family has raised their child. He's only in high school, yet he already has such presence."

"Exactly. This child is definitely going to accomplish great things when he grows up!"

"Even though he's an Adopted Son, I'm afraid the Su Family will be under this child's control in the future."

"You're right!"

Listening to the conversations around them and looking at Su Mu's impressive appearance, Wang Hai and Wang Yiyi nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of the future son-in-law chosen by the Wang Family. He truly was extraordinary!

The Wang Family really had excellent judgment!

By comparison, that child the Su Family had brought back from an orphanage was truly not worth mentioning.

Wang Yiyi looked toward where Su Chen had been sitting earlier, only to discover that he was no longer there.

Wang Yiyi frowned but did not pay it any mind.

That little piece of trash had probably hidden in some corner out of shame.

Wang Yiyi had guessed correctly. Su Chen was indeed in a corner.

Su Chen had quietly made his way to the computer displaying Su Mu's PPT.

Onstage, Su Mu delivered his speech with great passion.

Below the stage, Su Chen operated in complete silence.

Su Chen first unplugged Su Mu's phone from the computer, then began searching through it.

Very soon, Su Chen found what he was looking for.

The moment he found it, Su Chen was stunned. He had not expected to locate his target so quickly.

Su Mu had truly been too helpful.

Because Su Mu viewed them so often, the photos had been automatically pinned to the top of his phone!

Su Chen smiled. He had not expected Su Mu to have this kind of hobby. Was it really that satisfying to look at intimate photos of his intended marriage partner?!

Su Chen turned on the photos' autoplay and plugged the phone back into the computer displaying the PPT.

Su Mu was still delivering his impassioned speech onstage when he saw everyone below turn to look at him. Even the people who had been whispering among themselves had fallen silent.

Su Mu was overjoyed. These people must have all been captivated by his charm.

But very soon, Su Mu realized something was wrong.

Why were all these people taking out their phones, their faces full of excitement as they began snapping photos toward the stage?!

And Wang Hai and Wang Yiyi, who had been looking at him with smug satisfaction just moments ago, were now glaring at him with fury before rushing anxiously toward the stage!

Even his father, mother, and sisters were looking at him anxiously and shouting.

"Turn off the display!"

"Turn off the display!"

Su Mu instantly realized that the problem lay with the display screen behind him.

Su Mu quickly turned around.

There—

On the enormous display screen—

Photo after photo played continuously, showing a young woman naked in the arms of different men, looking intoxicated and blissful.

And that young woman was Wang Yiyi.
