Xu Shuying went to the station to visit Xu Wanting.
Xu Wanting had already been held in the detention center for two days, and the police were unwilling to release her.
Of course, due to Second Uncle Xie Zhen’s influence, no one dared to mistreat Xu Wanting.
In the past two days, the household seemed to be in chaos, with Xie Bingyan being exceedingly furious and continuously seeking out several people to resolve the situation.
She even went home herself, sought out Second Uncle, then Uncle, and finally met with her grandparents.
Xie Bingyan’s goal was straightforward: to bring down the Pinduoduo company. Even if it went public, she wouldn’t spare Xu Mo, demanding a ban on Pinduoduo’s market operations.
The outcome was still pending, and everyone was waiting. The Xie family, after all, couldn’t control everything single-handedly.
Compared to Xie Bingyan’s side, Xu Deming’s side was much quieter. After all, if even the Xie family couldn’t handle it, the Xu family’s intervention wouldn’t be of much help.
Xu Deming preferred to find a way to talk to Xu Mo and resolve these issues.
The sisters all believed that Xu Mo was behind this. After all, Xu Mo had taken action more than once or twice, and this time, Xu Mo didn’t seem to deny it either.
Xu Deming’s attempts to contact Xu Hongluan were quickly relayed back home, and that very night, upon receiving the news, Xie Bingyan immediately went after Xu Deming, intending to tear him apart.
Xu Deming was furious, but he didn’t dare to do anything to her.
“Xu Mo said, Hongluan must join the Xu family, be registered in the Xu family’s household, and receive a share of the Xu family’s property and some equity!”
“The Xu family rightfully includes Lu Hongluan! Based on blood relations, the Xu family needs to allocate some rights to her!”
“Equity, property division rights, part of the inheritance rights! All of it needs to be clearly written! Otherwise, Xu Mo will let Eldest Sister stay in the detention center for good!”
“…”
Xu Wanting had already been in the detention center for two days, and her situation wasn’t good.
Even though her sisters had visited her during these two days, and her secretary was stationed at the detention center, ready to report work to her at any time, Xu Wanting appeared listless, not eating or drinking!
Xu Shuying didn’t know what she was thinking and felt sorrowful.
“Eldest Sister, no matter what, you need to pull yourself together! Xu Mo has become very powerful now, and the Xie family can’t easily move him!”
“He has exceeded everyone’s expectations! The market value of Pinduoduo has inflated tremendously and is now deeply tied to the interests of many people! Just a few days ago, a retired chief justice from the capital joined Pinduoduo’s legal department as the legal department manager! Such people are now numerous at Pinduoduo!”
Xu Wanting still didn’t respond, looking lifeless and hollow-eyed.
“And, the fraud has been confirmed! This has been going on for four or five years. You weren’t the one who started it, Eldest Sister, but once it’s confirmed, Fengxiang Jewelry will need to provide an explanation to the consumers! Therefore, Dad might be forced to initiate an internal investigation!”
“In other words, someone from the company’s top management will need to take responsibility for this matter! The entire company will need to apologize to the customers, promise compensation, and mitigate the impact!”
“Dad just asked me to talk to you first! After all, the Xu family needs to ensure that Fengxiang Jewelry doesn’t get into trouble. The issue lies with certain individuals, certain corrupt elements!”
Xu Wanting understood Xu Shuying’s meaning.
It was clear that, to protect Fengxiang Jewelry, she was to be sacrificed!
The company intended to pin all the blame on her, to pour all the dirty water on her, in order to quell consumer anger and salvage Fengxiang Jewelry’s reputation.
Even Xu Deming, the president of the group, wouldn’t dare make light of Fengxiang Jewelry.
Given her previous scandal involving Deverna, placing the blame on her became the best choice. The more dirt they threw at her, the less impact it would have on Fengxiang Jewelry.
Seeing Xu Wanting’s silence, Xu Shuying sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
It was possible to proceed this way, but it meant Eldest Sister would likely be ruined.
Since starting college, Eldest Sister had tirelessly pursued entrepreneurship, managing the company with great effort, and had always been one of the Xu family’s prides. Now, with her career in ruins, she would likely find it hard to accept.
“Eldest Sister, if you need anything, just let me know! I’ll always be here for you! Second Sister will come to see you later as well!”
“Stop staying silent! If you don’t speak, we’ll be worried!”
Xu Wanting turned her head dully and gave her a slight glance.
In fact, the situation was somewhat absurd.
Not long ago, she had planned to sacrifice Xu Mo for the sake of the Xu family, knowing full well that only by abandoning Xu Mo could she possibly preserve the family’s integrity.
Yet now, it was she who was being sacrificed!
Xu Mo probably understood this very well, so all the retaliation was directed at her—his elder sister.
Xu Wanting remained speechless and motionless, her heart consumed by despair.
…
Seeing this, Xu Shuying could only stay with her a bit longer before heading home.
“To make Lu Hongluan join the Xu family’s household? How dare he even think of that? It’s absolutely impossible!”
“Unfilial child! This ungrateful child!”
“Is he trying to negotiate with me now? Does he have the right to negotiate with me? Am I giving him face?”
When Xu Shuying arrived home, she could hear the angry shouts from the living room. Xie Bingyan was once again enraged, likely because Xu Mo had sent another message.
Yesterday, when Xu Deming received the message from Xu Mo, Xie Bingyan’s mood had turned sour.
Xu Mo’s move was clearly like stabbing Xie Bingyan’s heart with a sharp knife, leaving her wounds open and exposed.
So cruel, so heartless, that Xie Bingyan could barely endure it. She nearly tore Xu Deming apart and smashed his phone.
The next day, Xu Deming replaced his phone and reestablished contact with Xu Mo. Seeing this, Xie Bingyan’s anger only intensified.
Xu Shuying walked in and saw Xie Bingyan, furiously shouting at Xu Deming, “I want you to cut off all contact with him immediately! He wants Lu Hongluan to join the household registry? He can wait until I’m dead! As long as I’m alive, it’s absolutely impossible!”
“And what about Wanting? What about Eldest? How do you plan to bring her back? Do you want to destroy Eldest Sister?” Xu Deming retorted, his shirt torn once again in the altercation.
“I knew you, Xu Deming, had bad intentions! I knew exactly what you were planning! Let me tell you, Xu Deming, I’m not finished with you yet! Don’t think this matter is over! I’m telling you, it’s absolutely impossible!” Xie Bingyan was nearly beside herself with rage.
Xu Deming shouted back, “So what do you suggest we do now? How should we handle this situation?”
“Just wait and see! I will make sure you don’t get away with this!” Xie Bingyan was gasping for breath, her anger unrelenting.
The house had been wrecked once more.
Xie Bingyan had clearly just thrown another tantrum, and it took a while for things to settle down.
Last night, Xu Shuying had discussed the situation with Xu Xuehui, Xu Manni, and others, and they all agreed that Xu Mo’s actions were indeed cruel.
No matter what, Lu Hongluan could never be added to the Xu family’s household registry—absolutely not!
Not only would Xie Bingyan refuse, but the Xie family would also never agree, and they, too, would never consent.
Xu Mo’s motive for doing this was likely to deal a blow to Xie Bingyan.
He was even willing to send Eldest Sister to the police station for this!
