412 The Secret About the Past 30 (1/2)

Mrs. Jin's face overflowed with tears. ”I think this is just how my life is. I kind of regret choosing this path back then.”

”You mean you regret marrying Father, or having an affair with the butler?”

”I don't know,” Mrs. Jin simply replied, ”I just regret it badly.”

Two days later, a video of Chi Rui'er and Mr. Jin emerged online again. It even revealed the conversation between them clearly and had multiple sexually explicit pictures of them.

This was a worse crisis than the previous one.

When she was notified of this, An Xiaoning was about to go mad.

The worst scenario she had not wanted to see eventually still happened.

When the board members were discussing a solution to this matter, even those who were completely on Mr. Jin's side previously changed their stances and asked for him to be removed as the Chairman.

This motion went through with unanimous votes of agreement.

Without a moment of delay at all, a press conference was held.

This time, An Xiaoning did not attempt to explain or cover up the truth as she had already guessed Xu Youran's next move.

As such, at the press conference, she answered the media reporters' questions truthfully.

A reporter asked, ”CEO An, may I ask, what explanation do you have towards the matter that emerged online?”

She answered, ”I just received news about this and saw the video and pictures. I am deeply shocked and ashamed by this incident. Regarding the negative impacts of my father-in-law's actions, I sincerely apologize here to everyone.”

Someone asked, ”Then, your father-in-law is having an extramarital affair, right?”

She answered, ”It's nothing of that sort. My mother-in-law and father-in-law have previously divorced.”

Another asked, ”I heard your father-in-law is still the Chairman of the company in name. May I know if there will be any manpower changes in the company?”

She answered, ”Just before this, the board members of the company have held an emergency meeting, and the motion to remove my father-in-law as the Chairman has passed through unanimously. From now on, my father-in-law's relationship matters are solely his personal issues.”

…

At past five in the evening, the sky was overcast, and not long after, thunder started roaring.

Chi Rui'er stood there, her legs shaking uncontrollably as she looked at a gloomy Xu Youran.

The room remained silent as Xu Youran stood before the window, staring at the sudden pouring of rain outside, her mood extremely unpleasant.

She tried to start a commotion, but An Xiaoning always managed to handle these problems unexpectedly.

This time round, regarding the scandalous video that emerged online, she had thought that An Xiaoning would justify that the video was not real and had been edited. However, she not only admitted the scandal but even apologized for it, which was completely out of her expectation.

She stood there silently like that while Chi Rui'er was drowning in anxiety.

She just had an ominous feeling.

”Does your mother know the pin number of your bank account?”

Chi Rui'er's heart was in her mouth. ”No, she doesn't.”

In reality, she had long told her mother the pin number.

”That's a pity then. Your savings will be donated to the bank.” Xu Youran had her hands folded in her pockets. ”I give you a chance to call others for help again. Actually, I know that you have no one to turn to anyway. Even if you call An Xiaoning, she won't come and save you either.”
