Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

The Ye family, unlike the perfunctory Shens, held their heads high, brimming with arrogance. It made sense. Even before the bankruptcy, a marriage alliance with the Shen family was already a significant step up for the Yes, let alone now.

Shen Yuan's arrival undoubtedly drew the most attention at the engagement party. He was the current head of the Shen family, young and accomplished, and had recently broken off his engagement with the Ye family. He was quite the catch. No sooner had Su Tang spoken a word than people rushed towards him.

“Mr. Shen!”

“I heard you're planning to expand your business overseas?”

“Mr. Shen, what are your plans for that plot of land in the old city district? Are you looking for partners?”

…

One after another, they surrounded him, quickly leaving Su Tang on the sidelines. Happy for the peace and quiet, she found a place to sit.

The engagement party was held outdoors in a beautiful garden with picturesque mountains and water features. Ironically, the celebratory balloons seemed to detract from the natural beauty.

She lazily sipped her drink and nibbled on pastries. Turning around, she saw Shen Ling and Ye Huan approaching.

She raised an eyebrow, her posture unchanged, but her words were surprisingly sincere. “I wish Mr. Shen and Miss Ye a hundred years of happiness and many children.”

Her sudden sincerity made Shen Ling frown. This infuriating woman had never spoken to him in such a tone before.

Shen Ling's first reaction was suspicion. There had to be a catch.

“Cheng Ye, this is the Shen family residence.”

Su Tang hummed in acknowledgement. “I'm not blind. I know this is the Shen residence.”

Having suffered at Su Tang’s hands before, and quite significantly, Shen Ling gritted his teeth. “Cheng Ye, if you try anything here at the Shen residence, I'll make sure you come in standing and go out horizontal.”

Su Tang chuckled. He made her sound like some thug.

“Mr. Shen, do you need me to remind you? You started it. If it weren't for your ulterior motives, I wouldn't have sent you to the headlines.” She curled her lip, looking at the two with a smirk. “And really, I am truly congratulating you. Such a match made in heaven. It would be a shame if you didn't end up together.”

Though her words were congratulatory, Shen Ling heard only sarcasm.

Finally, Ye Huan spoke in a sweet voice. “Shen Ling, it seems some other guests have arrived. Let's go greet them. There's no need to waste time on this insignificant person.”

Shen Ling, who initially looked down on Ye Huan, now found her words extremely pleasing. A smile even spread across his face. “You're right. Why waste time on insignificant people? Let's go somewhere else to breathe.”

Su Tang paid no mind to Ye Huan's snide remarks. However, the young lady seemed fixated on her, shooting a venomous glare as she walked away with Shen Ling.

Su Tang responded with a bright smile.

Ye Huan wasn't lying about the other guests. As a member of the elite, Shen Ling had his share of dissolute rich friends. No matter how perfunctory his engagement party, these friends would still be invited.

These friends, accustomed to behaving ostentatiously, punched Shen Ling in the chest as he approached. “Shen Ling, not bad! The first among us to get married!”

Unlike with Su Tang, Shen Ling's face immediately darkened at his friend's words. He turned to Ye Huan, who was still clinging to his arm, and said with utter disdain, “Go wait somewhere else. I didn't call you, so don't come over.”

Ye Huan bit her lip. She wasn't ugly. After carefully dressing up, she even possessed a certain pure beauty. Unfortunately, Shen Ling wasn't buying it.

“Shen Ling…”

She spoke softly, but as soon as she uttered his name, he glared at her coldly.

Unwilling but afraid to say anything, she could only endure the humiliation and leave.

Once she was gone, Shen Ling's expression softened slightly, but only slightly.

His friends exchanged glances, then resumed their boisterous banter.

“Shen Ling, this Second Miss Ye isn't ugly. Why does it look like you're being forced to marry her?”

Shen Ling's face contorted in disgust. “She's not ugly, but this woman schemed against me. I just wanted to play around with her, but who would have thought she'd use a pregnancy to force a marriage?” The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. Ye Huan wasn't ugly, and as a woman, he was willing to sleep with her, but that didn't mean he was willing to marry her. Not to mention he had no intention of getting married right now, even if he did, he would never choose a bankrupt loser.

Shen Ling grew increasingly angry, finally spitting in disgust. “Speaking of which, it's all Shen Yuan's damned assistant's fault for putting me in this situation.”

His words reminded his dissolute friends of the incident.

“So, is she at the engagement party today?” These were men of means, accustomed to getting their way. A mere assistant was nothing in their eyes. “Shen Ling, just say the word, and we'll teach her a lesson.”

Having learned his lesson, Shen Ling wasn't about to be reckless. “No, Shen Yuan is here too. I can't slap him in the face in public.”

“What are you talking about? Shen Yuan might be the current head of Shen Corp, but it's just an assistant. Would he really disregard your family for an outsider? Don't forget, Old Master Shen is still alive. As long as he's alive, Shen Yuan doesn't have the final say in Shen Corp.” These men, accustomed to doing shady things, quickly came up with a plan. “Didn't that little assistant ruin your reputation? Let's return the favor.”

Su Tang had no idea she was being targeted. However, she had her system. When they approached with a drugged glass of wine, she was immediately alerted.

“You're Brother Shen Yuan's assistant?”

The group surrounded Su Tang. They all wore harmless smiles, but those who associated with Shen Ling were all birds of a feather. While a couple of them were reasonably good-looking, their eyes were unpleasant.

“Little assistant, what's your name? You're so pretty. Could it be that Brother Shen Yuan hires assistants based on looks?”

“Hahaha, Dongzi, I think you're right.”

“Hey, little assistant, let's get acquainted. How about a drink?”

Su Tang stared at the glass of red wine, then smiled. “Sure, who wants to drink with me?” Seeing their slight hesitation, she added, “I prefer to drink one-on-one.”

“The little assistant is a straight shooter!” One of them immediately grabbed a bottle of red wine.

“Come, I'm Li Kang. What's your name, little assistant?” He offered her the glass.

Su Tang stood up from her chair, took the glass, and placed her hand on his shoulder with a smile. “Me? You're not worthy of knowing.” With that, she poured the red wine down Li Kang's throat.

Her move was so unexpected that by the time anyone reacted, the glass of wine had already been emptied into Li Kang's stomach.
