Chapter 79: Can’t Afford to Offend
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Xing Shu, I’m just concerned for your welfare. We can’t afford to offend the
Liu family.” Xing Linlin grabbed Xing Zewu’s arm in fear. “Moreover, Madam Chen Ru just caused a ruckus in the Xing family. The Xing family is thinking of ways to separate the business relationship between the two families. Have you thought about what would become of the Xing family if the Liu Family attacks us? If the Nie family sticks a finger in the pie too, then the Xing family… Xing Shu, you mustn’t be so willful.”
Xing Linlin’s words touched the nerves of Wu Minxia and Xing Zewu. They could not afford to offend the Liu family!
Xing Shu found them very glaring.
wu Ivnnxna tnougnt tnat Xing snu naa comprormsea, so sne said to tne ponce officer beside her. “Xing Shu will bear the responsibility for losing the USB flash drive alone. She’s the Director of M&A; she should be responsible. Now, quickly recall the people you sent to the Liu family. Don’t blow things up.”
The police officers looked at each other and finally looked at Xing Shu, waiting for her to speak. Xing Shu found it funny. She slowly moved her foot. The wound that had not been bandaged was excruciating. But it also made her mind clearer. “You want me to bear the responsibility alone? How do I bear tens of billions of trade secrets?”
Wu Minxia did not expect Xing Shu’s attitude to be so unyielding. Her face was thunderous. “Then what do you want to do? Do you really want to rock the boat with the Liu family? Why are you such a troublemaker?!”
Xing Shu retorted, “I’m a troublemaker? If the Liu family didn’t send a henchman after me, why would the police trace it to her account? The Liu family brought this on themselves. I’m definitely not letting this go, no matter who intercedes. Officer, do what you have to do. President Cheng is still waiting for my feedback.”
Wu Minxia was so angry that she could not speak. She pointed at Xing Shu for a long time before lamenting, “Why do I have a daughter like you?!”
Xing Linlin—who was behind Wu Minxia—took a step forward and pretended to stop Wu Minxia. However, her fingertips unintentionally yanked off the scarf around Xing Shut s neck. The scarf slowly fell, revealing the marks on Xing Shu’s neck. No one present was a child; everyone knew what those marks meant.
Wu Minxia’s mind went blank. She grabbed Xing Shut s neck. “You slut! How many men did you fool around with?! Why are you so wanton?! How did you become like this?!”
Wu Minxia’s force from her outburst of anger was surprisingly strong; so much so that Xing Shu was unable to break free and felt that Wu Minxia had left a red mark on her neck. Wu Minxia was so furious she fainted from anger.
Xing Zewu and Xing Linlin quickly went forward to help her up. Xing Zewu looked at Xing Shu with disgust. Xing Shu touched her neck and knew that Xing Linlin did it on purpose. She had achieved her goal.
Xing Linlin helped Wu Minxia up. Her eyes were red, and she asked in a crying voice. “Brother Xing, what should we do? I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just afraid that Aunt Wu and Xing Shu would fight. I didn’t expect to pull off Xing Shut s scarf. I didn’t expect… Let’s send Aunt Wu to the hospital first.”
Xing Zewu took a good look at Xing Shu—recalled the hooligan in the police station—and was instantly disgusted. No matter what, Xing Shu grew up in the Xing family. Why would she take a fancy to such a man? Then he remembered Xing Shu confessing she had hired a gigolo and felt nauseous. This woman was such a tramp!
Xing Zewu berated, “Xing Shu, aren’t you slutty? What do you take yourself for?
A whore? A village bicycle? You ended up in the police station over a lovers’ tiff. Aren’t you afraid that Grandpa will find out?”
Xing Shu raised her head and looked at him. “Grandpa’s health isn’t good. You want to agitate him with this? Aren’t you afraid that he won’t be able to take it and something might happen to him?”
Xing Zewu said, “You’re the one who caused this. Even if something happened to Grandfather, it’s because of you.”
Xing Zewu helped Wu Minxia up and looked at Xing Shu. “You’d better go to the hospital for a body check up. Aren’t you afraid of getting sick with your promiscuity? You keep saying that I’m biased towards Linlin, but look at what you’ve done and what Linlin has done.”
Xing Linlin held Wu Minxia’s other arm. She said in a choking voice, “Brother Xing, forget it. Let’s send Aunt to the hospital first.”
Xing Zewu said, “Okay.”
As she turned around to leave, Xing Linlin’s lips curved into a smile. She had not anticipated this unexpected bonus..
