Chapter 115: Secret Exposed

In the noisy and lively bar, Shang Liqing and her friends laughed and clinked their glasses, whistling to the men on the dance floor frequently.

The charming and beautiful socialites ordered dozens of bottles of whiskey and generously invited members of the opposite sex, who were pleasing to their eyes, to drink with them.

Shang Liqing’s gaze was out of focus as she leaned into the arms of a well-built man she had just met. She opened her mouth to taste the lychees peeled by the man and rewarded him with a sweet kiss.

At the karaoke station, a socialite, who was holding a microphone, thought of an interesting thing when she got lightly drunk. She clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention.

“Did you know? Shang Yan of the Shang Group has stood up today!”

Her voice carried a smile, but the bomb she dropped did not cause the sensation she expected.

Shang Liqing felt the gazes of the people around her. She waved her hand and sat up on the sofa. “Stand up? My brother?”

The socialite nodded her head firmly. She tried her best to focus her gaze on her phone screen, pulling up the secretly taken video.

The phone was passed to Shang Liqing, who was in the corner of the room, by countless people. The socialite’s voice was a little piercing to the ears after being processed by the microphone. “It’s said that they have deleted all the video data.”

“This was left behind by my friend. She passed by the Shang Group and watched the show across the road.”

“Your brother’s assistant and bodyguard probably didn’t notice her.”

The socialite asked her urgingly, “Is that right? CEO Shang has been disabled for many years. How did he suddenly stand up?”

Shang Liqing’s eyes gradually became clear. In the dim room, she tried hard to identify the blurry image on the screen. It was not until the moment Shang Yan stood up that she finally sucked in a breath of cold air and pushed away the man who was hugging her. She then grabbed her coat and rushed outside.

“My phone!”

The socialite chased after her loudly. Shang Liqing smashed her phone to the ground and stomped on it until it shattered.

She then picked up the core chip and threw it into the toilet bowl in the bathroom. “I’ll compensate you with one tomorrow! Tell your friend to delete the video immediately, or the Shang family will not let her go!”

Even though Shang Liqing was unruly and willful, she still belonged to the Shang family’s bloodline.

She clearly understood why Shang Yan would delete all the video data. After leaving the bar, Shang Liqing quickly dialed the number of the old residence. “Hello? Uncle Zhang, please wake Grandfather up. I have something very important to tell him! It’s extremely important!”

Shang Liqing found a chauffeur and instructed him to drive the sports car at the maximum speed.

The sports car sped through the night like a red lightning bolt. The roaring sound of the engine made the driver’s heart skip a beat. He was afraid he would have to pay half of his life savings as compensation if there were a single scratch.

Shang Liqing could not be bothered with what he was feeling. Looking at the brightly lit old residence, she took out two stacks of pink banknotes from her wallet and threw them over.

In the living room of the old residence, Shang Liqing saw Grandfather Shang sitting on the sofa with an unhappy expression and playing the video from the bar.

Grandfather Shang stared at the screen, and his expression gradually became shocked, then happy, and finally, he frowned.

“Grandfather, did you see that? Brother can already stand up!”

“He is a healthy person who can walk freely. At the same time, he is also the Young Master of the Shang Group, a powerful figure in the financial circle. In the past, we let him marry Qu Xiao because there was no other way, but now Brother can have a better choice!”

“As long as Brother can agree to divorce Qu Xiao, I can immediately introduce him to other women! I guarantee that you and he will be satisfied.”

Shang Liqing really hated Qu Xiao. She wished she could immediately disappear from the Shang family and never see her again.

The Qu Xiao in the past was so stupid that it irked people. Her actions would often implicate the Shang family and cause them to be laughed at by outsiders.

But now, she was shrewd and wise to the point that Shang Liqing would feel guilty and afraid every time she met her eyes.

Grandfather Shang did not answer. Instead, he instructed the butler to inform Shang Yan to come to the old residence.

Shang Liqing raised her eyebrows. Feeling that there was hope, she sneaked back to her bedroom and dialed her best friend’s number. She covered the microphone with her hand. “Hello? Are you free? Didn’t you always say that you like my second brother? Now there’s an opportunity in front of you!”

“Dress nicely and hurry over. I might very well call you second sister-in-law in the future!”

Shang Liqing excitedly whispered as she imagined the scene of Qu Xiao leaving the Shang family miserably. Her mood could not be any happier.

On the other side, Shang Yan received a notice from the butler and looked at Qu Xiao, who was preparing to leave.

“It’s okay. Go over when you’re done. I’ll explain to Grandfather.”

Shang Yan comforted Qu Xiao by brushing her hair. His thin lips curved gently as he kissed her lightly.

Qu Xiao was inexplicably flustered. She had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen. She stared at Shang Yan’s back as he drove away. She pressed her hand against her heart and muttered, “What other difficulties can there be? I’ve already endured the most difficult ones!”

Qu Xiao silently cheered herself on and took a bus to the Teaching and Laboratory building of A University.

“You’re here?”

In the laboratory, Lei Qiming took off his protective glasses. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exhausted as he greeted Qu Xiao, “Take a look at the combination of these two drugs. Will the effect of the drug be magnified?”

Qu Xiao changed into a dust safety suit and walked to the observation vessel.

When she saw the reaction through the viewer clearly, she asked in surprise, “Have you found a way to increase the effect of the drug?”
