Chapter 227: 0227 Cannot be listed Chapter 227: 0227 Cannot be listed Tan Lirong’s message was quite clear, and everyone in the room understood it, including Su Xinyan herself.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed her cell phone and bag and hurriedly stood up, saying somewhat eagerly,
“I’m going to find Brother Heng.”
As soon as she finished, she rushed out of the room.
Watching her departing figure, Tan Lirong and the others smiled indulgently.
“This child, hurrying about without even eating.”
Wen Peipei also wore a gentle smile, raising her eyebrows slightly, her expression relaxing for a rare moment.
“Let it be, young people are just like us after all. Didn’t rest at all last night, you all eat something too, then take a good rest for a day.”
Su Hongde and Tan Lirong nodded, then walked toward the living room.
The servants had already brought the prepared food to the table, but before anyone could start eating, a live news broadcast suddenly appeared on the TV in the living room.
Wen Peipei’s just-relaxed expression abruptly changed, and she said sharply,
“Turn up the volume on the TV.”
The servant behind her was clearly startled by her stern and sharp voice, shuddering before hurrying to the living room to turn up the volume with the remote control.
Su Hongde and Tan Lirong also turned to look, their complexions growing grim.
The voice from the TV reached the ears of the three.
“According to the latest investigative report, Yong City’s famous rich second-generation heir of the Xu Family, Xu Jie, has been found to be involved in multiple cases of sexual assault, including two cases leading to the suicide of underage girls. His father, Xu Zhi, is suspected of tax evasion and smuggling, and has been detained according to law. Overnight, the Xu Family has faced ruin…”
Wen Peipei’s chopsticks fell onto the table, her expression frozen instantly, her face turning unsightly.
“What’s going on? What exactly is happening?”
All three of them looked terrible. How could the Xu Family encounter trouble overnight?
That was one of Yong City’s top families. Who had the power to bring them down overnight?
Wen Peipei’s hands trembled slightly, regretting now more than ever her decision to align with the Xu Family.
With the Xu Family in trouble, she was uncertain whether it would have repercussions for the Su Family.
As this thought flashed through her mind, a servant walked over holding her cell phone.
“Madam, the company is calling for you.”
The unease and panic within her intensified; she calmed her emotions before answering the call.
Her complexion dramatically changed immediately!
“What do you mean, it can’t go public? What exactly is going on?!”
Whatever was said on the other end of the phone, when the call ended, Wen Peipei’s face had lost all color.
“Mom, what’s happened?”
Noticing something was amiss, Su Hongde asked worriedly.
Wen Peipei opened her mouth but failed to produce any sound.
“The company says, Enrich’s designs are suspected of plagiarism, and we’ve been instructed not to proceed with production or release.”
The moment Wen Peipei finished speaking, Tan Lirong’s face changed drastically, her voice turning somewhat shrill.
“What plagiarism? Where did Xinyan plagiarize? Wasn’t this matter already resolved?”
Wen Peipei simply gave her a cold glance.
“This is the decision from above. Can you challenge them?”
Tan Lirong was still somewhat unwilling to accept this.
“But that’s Xinyan’s hard work for several months. How can those people be so unfair, trampling on someone else’s achievements…”
She couldn’t help but argue.
“Enough, you too, hold your tongue,”
Su Hongde said impatiently, cutting her off.
The Su Family was now truly in troubled waters. With the Xu Family connection severed, and the new product unable to be launched.
