Chapter 85: “He won’t let us off! He definitely won’t!”

This family couldn’t just fall apart like this.

Xu Wanting, Xu Xuehui, and Xu Shuying all wanted to maintain a semblance of peace, even if it was just on the surface.

Xu Mo didn’t return home and didn’t go to see Xie Bingyan.

In fact, he didn’t go last time, and it was even less likely this time.

Xu Wanting wanted to talk to him again, but in this situation, she was too afraid to do so.

Xu Mo wanted her to transfer all of Deverna’s shares to him, which was impossible!

Yes!

This was impossible!

Looking back, the reason for refusing Xu Mo’s visit to Deverna, feeling disgusted at the mere sight of him at Deverna, was because she feared he might lay claim to Deverna in the future.

Xu Wanting had been working at Deverna since graduation, and it had been over a decade. She had grown the company from a 500 million yuan value to a 10 billion yuan enterprise, even expanding internationally.

Xu Wanting had invested countless energy and effort into Deverna, how could she just hand it over to Xu Mo?

Not to mention her own disagreement, even the company’s management team and shareholders would likely object.

Of course, she had absolute decision-making power at Deverna, and shareholders couldn’t interfere. If she wished, she could still transfer the shares.

However, she was unwilling.

Even though Xu Mo had become very successful, founding a company worth 10 billion yuan in just a few months, no less than Deverna, Xu Wanting had never considered such a thing.

So during this time, she could only keep herself as busy as possible, not thinking about family matters, to reduce the pain.

In fact, Xu Wanting was also very clear in her heart that Xu Mo was probably just testing to see if she truly regretted her actions, which was why he said such things to her.

But Xu Wanting was also very clear that she couldn’t give up Deverna, which filled her with contradictions and hypocrisy.

Xu Wanting had never thought she could be such a hypocritical person!

Perhaps it was because of this that Xu Mo’s hatred for her was almost etched into his bones.

“I can’t make him not hate me!”

“I’ve tried many times, but I can’t do it!”

“Now he doesn’t even want to see me!”

Xu Xuehui came to her office to chat. Due to the recent family troubles, Xu Xuehui’s visits had increased significantly.

The news of Xu Mo’s successful financing and the soaring value of Little Monster Bikes to 10 billion yuan had spread across the country.

Now the media was frantically reporting on Little Monster Bikes’ international expansion, setting up in Britain and New York City.

Undoubtedly, Little Monster Bikes’ strategy was quite astonishing.

Some people were even unsure of what Xu Mo was trying to achieve.

After all, many second and third-tier cities in China were not yet fully saturated with shared bikes, and some cities didn’t have them at all.

Their move abroad now might be a thankless task.

A month ago, many people were still laughing at them, saying they were taking too big of a step and might hurt themselves.

But now, it seemed they had succeeded.

Shared bikes had successfully been promoted in Britain and New York City, changing the world.

Many investors and entrepreneurs were amazed by the courage and skill of these young people.

They were truly decisive, full of ambition.

Xu Xuehui had seen a lot of news recently. Whenever she picked up her phone or newspaper to check, her expression was complex.

She was amazed by Xu Mo’s recent achievements!

Undoubtedly, Xu Mo was a genius, a genius with astonishing courage and skill.

At eighteen, he had achieved what many could not, making it hard to imagine how great his future achievements would be.

Normally, the Xu family should have been overjoyed to have such a person, but now, no one could be happy.

Because he had been abused since childhood, enduring endless humiliation and torment.

They were all murderers!

“What about fifth sister? Doesn’t he want to see fifth sister?” Xu Xuehui asked.

“He doesn’t want to! Fifth Sister went to Tsinghua several times, but he didn’t see him! He did see Yuanchan once, but they argued!” Xu Wanting said.

“Yuanchan argued with him?”

“He found out about Yuanchan’s situation and said it in public. Yuanchan was angry and argued with him. After that, he never saw Yuanchan again!” Xu Wanting said.

Xu Xuehui was speechless.

She knew a little about Xu Yuanchan’s situation. As a wealthy young lady who liked to play, it was something that wasn’t meant to be exposed. Now that Xu Mo had revealed it in public, it was normal for Xu Yuachan to be furious.

Xu Xuehui thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Sis, what do you think Xu Mo wants to do the most right now?”

“What does he want to do the most?” Xu Wanting’s heart trembled.

“Yes! He seems to be working very hard and is very aggressive. Just look at his expansion speed, it’s incredibly fast! How would an ordinary person run a business like that? He goes abroad to develop without any hesitation. Why is he in such a hurry?” Xu Xuehui looked at her and said.

Xu Wanting was stunned for a moment, her face turning pale.

She didn’t speak, her breathing rapid.

“He won’t let us off! He definitely won’t!” After a while, Xu Wanting said with red eyes.

Xu Xuehui heard this and became somewhat panicked.

At this moment, a series of urgent knocks came from outside.

“General Manager Xu!”

“Come in!”

It was the secretary knocking. Xu Wanting saw her enter.

The female secretary quickly opened the door, her expression seemingly filled with anxiety.

She quickly handed a stack of documents to Xu Wanting: “General Manager Xu, there are reports in the news media that our facial cleanser and skincare cream series have used toxic substances, posing a high risk of cancer! The news has already spread on the internet!”

In an instant, Xu Wanting’s face changed dramatically.

She reached out to take the documents and glanced at them. There were quite a few words written, among which several large characters were particularly eye-catching.

“Contains excessive levels of dioxane^[1]Prolonged exposure to 1,4-dioxane has been linked to several health risks. It can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It is a potential human carcinogen and has been found … Continue reading!”

This was a carcinogenic substance!

Xu Wanting quickly flipped through the documents and found several reports, about three or four, which listed a long string of test data.

A total of three products were involved.

Xu Wanting immediately turned to look at Xu Xuehui, her face pale, revealing an expression of disaster.

“Where did it originate from? Has the PR department found the journalist?” Xu Wanting asked.

“It originated from the capital! We’ve contacted some journalists and reached out to the testing organization and the author of the article, but they’re unwilling to talk!”

“I understand! Do your best to contact the media and the person who wrote the report. If you can buy them off, do so. Use all your efforts to suppress these reports and not allow them to spread further!” Xu Wanting displayed the decisiveness of an entrepreneur, saying coldly, “No matter who it is, they are not allowed to damage Deverna’s reputation!”

“Yes! We’ll go do it right away!” The secretary hurriedly walked out.

A deathly silence filled the room.

Xu Wanting took a sip of water, stood up, and looked out the window, immediately feeling a large mass of dark clouds pressing in from the distance.

Both of them felt a strong sense of oppression.

Xu Xuehui didn’t know what she was thinking and remained silent, but she had some guesses in her heart.

“This is just an appetizer, merely an appetizer!”

“It’s also a warning!”

After a long while, Xu Wanting said woodenly, “He should be testing Deverna’s response capability. The next move won’t be such a small skirmish!”

Xu Xuehui frowned, “This is Xu Mo’s doing?”

“There’s no one else! The only thing he probably wants to do now is this! Because only by doing this can he wash away the shame on his body! He’s such a proud person!”

Speaking of Xu Mo’s pride, they had never felt it before.

Back then, he was as insignificant as dust in the Xu family.

But now, they were definitely feeling it.

Without the slightest hesitation!
