Chapter 167: Cocktail Party Battle
"This gown suits you."
Matthew pushed open the door to his room and saw Lauren standing in front of the mirror, straightening
her clothes.
Seeing Matthew, Secretary Zhou wisely walked out of the room, leaving space for Lauren and Matthew.
"Matthew, I can only say that you have a good eye and have completely captured the perfection of my
figure to pick such a suitable dress for me, but what surprises me is that you would pick a dress like
that for me."
Lauren's mouth crossed with a cold smile, lifting the hem of her skirt and sitting on the side of the sofa
to fix her makeup.
"If I told you that the gown was switched, would you believe me?"
"Transferring?"
Lauren's red lips rose slightly, evoking a sarcastic smile.
"Matthew, this is not your style, for what you have done, you now also want to cover it up? I know that
in your hands, myself is just a pawn, but you should not forget that even the best pawn, there will be a
day of revenge, today's shame I will bear in mind."
Matthew grunted coldly.Lauren's reaction made him give up the idea of trying to explain. The stony lips
rose slightly, hooked in a wickedly light smile.
Walking up to Lauren, he took her wrist and pulled her directly into his arms.
"For a pawn in my own hands, I will never give her the chance to resist, give up the idea just now, or
you will die a worse death."
Throwing the mirror in Lauren's hand on the floor, Matthew lowered himself and his thin, sensual lips
covered Lauren's red lips directly.
Rampantly sucking in the sweetness that belongs to her inside.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem. The company's main business is to provide a
wide range of products and services to its customers.
"You still can't escape the passion I've set up, and in this life only I can let go. You can never have the
time to let go."
Matthew's domineering tone instead made Lauren laugh.
"Matthew, you do have a knack for seducing women, but do you think a woman who has already died
once would be afraid of what it's like to be worse than dead?"
Lauren lifted her phoenix eyes and looked at Matthew's lofty eyes with a haughty expression, without
the slightest sign of weakness.
"Dang. Dang. Dang."
The knock on the door caused Matthew to withdraw his dark pupils that were locked with Lauren's.
"Get ready, go out with me, the big man you are waiting for will appear soon, and the good friend Emily
in your heart will also appear at the same time. I believe that your meeting. It will definitely bring her a
big surprise."
The corners of Matthew's mouth, has been hanging a let people can not see the evil smile.
"Great. I'm also looking forward to your plan to see what you're so brilliant at?"
Lauren carried the hem of her skirt and followed Matthew out of the room.
"He's here, and the people we expected to be there are showing up."
Just as the two walked out of the room, they saw Wei Chen Chen standing in the doorway.
"Chenchen, you did a good job, now stand with those reporters, take the picture we want to present
and let them shoot it in, I want to see today's news on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper."
Wei Chen Chen made an OK gesture, gave Lauren a parting glance, and then turned to leave.
"Come on, my princess, the big show is coming up soon, and you're the heroine of the big show, you
can't be late for the show."
Matthew bends his right arm.
Lauren understood what he meant and placed her right hand with a white glove on his arm, and the two
walked slowly down the stairs like a pair of wallflowers.
"They're really here, so why do I get a nervous feeling?"
Lauren was walking while speaking softly to Matthew beside her. She thought she was all prepared, but
when she saw with her own eyes Shangguan Baocheng pulling Emily with a smile on his face and
chatting with the guests, she still had a hint of nervousness in her heart, not knowing what kind of
mindset she was going to use to face Shangguan Baocheng later.
"Don't be nervous, remember, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. There is only one person
you have to face, and that is Shangguan Baocheng, the father who has never acknowledged you."
Lauren nodded, took a deep breath, and came to Shangguan Baocheng and Emily with Matthew.
"Matthew, I didn't expect that you would make the reception so massive, your ability really makes me,
an old man in the mall, have to admire it, huh?"
Shangguan Baocheng seems to have completely forgotten that he withdrew all the funds in the first
place and kept looking at Matthew with a smile on his face.
"President Shangguan, why do you have to be so insensitive? Although you withdrew all the
preliminary funds at the beginning, but I really have to thank your precious granddaughter, she took an
additional 10 million dollars and intends to re-inject it into this resort development, but do you think I will
her this opportunity?"
Matthew, as if by magic, took out the check that he had torn up long ago in the first place and placed it
in front of Emily's face.
"Miss. Shangguan, here is your check, now return it to its rightful owner, I will not accept any apology
from someone who has betrayed me before."
All the guests, completely caught up in their behavior, approached their direction in droves.
With so many people watching her, Emily had to passively put the check away in her bag.
"Matthew. why do you have to be so sarcastic? You should know that I wouldn't let something like this
happen if I had the power."
Emily's voice was filled with bitterness.
Matthew nodded his head.
"Don't worry, I don't blame you, for my woman's niece, how can I have any resentment? President
Shangguan, don't you think so?"
These words of Matthew. Not only did they leave Emily with a puzzled look on her face, but they also
left the surrounding guests dumbfounded, not understanding the meaning of his words.
"Matthew, what do you mean by that? You make it clear."
Emily asked Matthew.
"Miss. Shangguan, you'd better ask your grandfather, I believe Elder Shangguan will give you a perfect
answer."
Matthew looked at Shangguan Baocheng, who was feigning composure, with ulterior motives.
"Matthew, everything in moderation, do not easily drive others to their death, or sooner or later, you will
have that day too."
Shangguan Baocheng obviously did not anticipate that Matthew would do so, so for a moment did not
know how to solve such an embarrassment.
"Elder Shangguan, I'm just seeking a little justice for my woman. I believe you should know how to deal
with the current scene."
Matthew's whole body exudes a frightening aura.
"Baby, my princess, now is the time for you to step up to the plate."
Matthew deliberately pushed Lauren, who had been standing behind him, into the presence of
Shangguan Baocheng.
"Elder Shangguan, you should not be a stranger to my woman, right? When I had a misunderstanding
with her, you took great pains to bring her to your side, right?"Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Matthew's body suddenly radiated a satanic gloom. The air in the hall instantly seemed to be frozen,
emitting a shivering chill.
"Lauren, what's going on? You knew my grandfather before?"
Emily had some suspicions about her grandfather forcing Lauren to stay by her side, but she was afraid
of her grandfather's words. So did not ask about it.
"Emily. you're not supposed to call me by my first name. if I remember correctly, you're supposed to call
me an aunt."
Lauren's words were like a bomb that exploded suddenly in the hall.
"Lauren, what the hell are you talking about? I've always treated you as a friend, don't be a toaster and
think of such outbursts in a despicable way just to get the attention of the press."
Emily's sharp eyes noticed. There were a lot of reporters in the hall, and the cameras in their hands,
aimed in their own direction.
"Emily. am I talking nonsense, you can ask your grandfather, he, the scribe will be very clear, you know
your grandfather, if what I say is not the truth, do you think he will not say a word?"
Lauren walked up to Shangguan Baocheng and looked at the biological father with a sneer on her face.
Shangguan Baocheng's heart is clear, Matthew must have done all the preparations, or would not have
given himself a hard time on such an occasion today.
"Yes, Lauren is indeed my daughter."
The sudden admission of Shangguan Baocheng, so that all the reporters, have pressed the shutter in
their hands, this is a luxury secret matter ah, I believe that tomorrow's newspaper, will certainly be in
short supply.
Receiving Matthew's hint, Wei Chen Chen hurriedly and secretly called a few reporters he had
arranged. Come to Shangguan Baocheng's front.
"President Shangguan, can you tell me if Miss. Li is really your daughter? If you knew she was your
daughter, why didn't you ever think of recognizing her?"
"Miss. Shangguan, for those who know. A good friend suddenly becomes his aunt, what kind of
thoughts are in his heart?"
Sharp questions from reporters came one after another toward Emily and Shangguan Baocheng.
Shangguan Baocheng in the end is very knowledgeable, even by so many reporters forced to ask,
there is no fear on the face, but rather an intriguing smile.
Raising his hands high, he gestured to the reporter to keep quiet.
"Originally, I just wanted to attend Yin's Group's reception, but I didn't expect that it would bring so
much trouble to everyone. I can now solemnly tell you that Lauren is indeed my daughter, as to why I
don't identify with her. Three days later, Shangguan's Group will hold a press conference, now please
move aside. I will give you a satisfactory answer after three days."
Shangguan Baocheng came to Matthew's face.
"Matthew, do you think that by saying these things, you will hit me? Suddenly things come out of
nowhere for me, Shangguan Baocheng. I have seen a lot, and I look forward to the next encounter with
you."
Matthew's dark eyes were locked deeply on Shangguan Baocheng's face.
"I'm also very much looking forward to what happens next in the game."
Shangguan Baocheng gave a cold snort. Glanced at Lauren, then left the reception under the
protection of bodyguards.
"Matthew, things are developing as you expected, may I, the leading lady, please take a break from the
scene, I don't wish to be interviewed by any reporters. I believe that such a small question is a more
than trivial matter for the big president Yin."
Lauren's heart, there is a kind of unspoken taste, she needs to think quietly, think about just and
Shangguan Baocheng eye to eye every image.
Matthew nodded his head.
"Secretary Zhou. Send her back to the mansion."
Secretary Zhou nodded. Helping a tired-looking Lauren, under the open road of the bodyguard.
Avoiding the reporters' inquiries, she left the reception through the side door.
