Chapter 517: Chapter 408: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Lady Sabotages Everything 48_2
But he couldn’t take his mind off Su Zhiruan, his gaze frequently shifting upstairs, though from his angle he couldn’t see who was on the upper floor. He took out his phone and sent Su Zhiruan many messages, but he didn’t receive any replies. He looked around the first floor, even spotting a few executives from Su Zhiruan’s company.
At this point, the first and second floors had completely become two different worlds.
The executives on the first floor were ready to listen to the old man’s speech, and see whom he would hand the company over to.
Of course, the most likely candidate was Xie Yanshang. Within the Xie Family, he was the most capable and skilled young person, and even for the greater good, the old man would surely hand over the company to him.
Everyone was buzzing, all guessing who would end up with the title of president.
It was clear to everyone that the old man’s days were numbered, despite him still looking energetic today. However, his white hair and increased wrinkles could not be concealed, and on top of that, a series of internal issues had recently surfaced at Xie Group, along with issues involving Uncle Xie, such as seduction, misconduct with women, and embezzlement, all of which had hurt the group’s stock price.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
On the second floor at this time.
Miss Zhou was triggered by what Su Zhiruan had said.
Her breathing became much more erratic, and she even felt some discomfort in her heart. She looked at Su Zhiruan as if she were looking at a sworn enemy.
“Very good! Very good! You’re doing well! I didn’t even know what tricks you used to lure Yanshang!” Miss Zhou now considered herself Xie Yanshang’s legitimate wife, simply because of a word from the old man. She was certain she would be Xie Yanshang’s wife, never considering what Yanshang himself thought.
That was why, knowing that Su Zhiruan and Xie Yanshang had married, she exhibited such huge emotional fluctuations. She glanced at Su Zhiruan, and then at the railing only as high as her thigh.
Angered beyond reason, a sinister thought crossed Miss Zhou’s mind in an instant.
In the next second, like lightning, a mishap occurred just like that!
Miss Zhou suddenly stepped forward rapidly, her eyes bloodshot, and she pushed Su Zhiruan hard!
Her words came out like a string of curses from her throat.
“Die! As long as you’re dead, Yanshang will surely notice me more! I am his wife, I am his Madam! What are you? Nothing but a newcomer who attracted his attention by tricks!!”
She acted too quickly, leaving her close friends behind her in shock as they burst into urgent screams trying to stop her.
“Quick, save her, save her!”
The friends behind Miss Zhou originally thought they were only there for appearance, but hadn’t anticipated that Miss Zhou’s jealousy would drive her to actually push Su Zhiruan off!
They knew, the railing wasn’t low, and falling from there to the first floor could be deadly or result in grievous injury.
Although their family status couldn’t compare to Miss Zhou’s, they were still reputable figures in the Upper-class circles of Jinghua. If it got out that they were abetting wrongdoing, resulting in a police case, it would affect their families’ standing. Being sharp, they quickly roped in a group to pull Miss Zhou back, and another group to help Su Zhiruan.
The commotion they caused was loud, and soon people on the first floor immediately stood up, anxiously looking up.
Among them, Xie Yanshang was the most anxious. He heard the cries, and he immediately stood and took two steps at a time rushing upstairs, while the executives on the first floor who saw Miss Zhou pushing Su Zhiruan through the railings, their gazes simultaneously turned sharply toward President Zhou.
At this moment, President Zhou was frantic as never in his wildest dreams had he imagined his love-struck daughter could do such a thing.
“Come down, come down, don’t do anything foolish!”
The old man had just picked up the microphone when he saw this scene, he had a clear view of the second floor, and his heart skipped a beat.
Seeing things escalate in this way, Miss Zhou decided to break the jar and follow through, figuring it was better to get rid of Su Zhiruan. She immediately moved forward, pushing harder to try and shove Su Zhiruan over the railing.
Just moments ago, Su Zhiruan was near the staircase railing, and Miss Zhou was near the other side by the flower stand.
So, when she charged over, even Su Zhiruan hadn’t expected she would do such a thing, especially in front of so many onlookers.
