Han Yuan lifted her head and stated firmly, “Since Xi Cheng has sold these companies, whether willingly or tricked into doing so, what’s done is done. Everyone, including the buyer, is currently waiting to see our corporation’s attitude towards the matter, and they’re also waiting for the corporation’s next move.”
She went on, “I fear their target isn’t simply those five companies, so I suggest we hold a press conference immediately. We have to make necessary sacrifices for the good of our corporation. As it was Xi Cheng’s own personal decision to sell those companies, the Xi Corporation will remove him from office and terminate all business with those five companies from today onwards.”
“Mom!/Madam!” Exclamations rang throughout the meeting room.
Xi Cheng moved forward on his knees and held Han Yuan’s knees. “Mom,” he cried, “I’m your son! You’ve got to help me! You can’t just toss me out! What am I to do then? You can’t abandon me! This isn’t my fault! I was tricked! I was deceived by that b*tch, Gu Man! And those five companies… You’ve got to help me get them back! Mom, please!” As he shouted, Xi Cheng shook Han Yuan’s knees, eyes red with agitation.
Han Yuan’s heart couldn’t help but bleed as she looked at her tall and handsome son before her. She raised her eyes toward Shi Nian, who was standing at the side, and felt as if she were stabbed in the heart. She was competitive and strove to be above others all her life, but she never imagined her son to be so inadequate compared to another’s.
“Shi Nian, can you understand why Auntie is doing this?” Han Yuan asked Shi Nian slowly.
Shi Nian reached out to pull Xi Cheng up, saying softly, “Xi Cheng, Auntie is doing this for your own good!”
The anger that Xi Cheng had nowhere to vent found its outlet. He forcefully pushed Shi Nian away and yelled, “Stop with the good Samaritan act. You say this is for my own good? This is for my own good? Shi Nian, you sure know how to twist the knife. You guys just want to see me make a fool of myself, don’t you? You guys have been waiting for this day, haven’t you?”
Xi Cheng abruptly stood up and directed all his ire at Shi Nian. “You just sat there waiting for me to make a mistake so you can benefit from the Xi Corporation, didn’t you? You! The Ye family! And the Liangs! You guys were all in on this together! I know you guys aren’t happy with me because I failed Fang Xi! You guys ganged up on me just to stick up for Ye Kun!”
Yun Nan slapped Xi Cheng across his face. “That is for Ye Kun and Fang Xi!” she said icily.
