Xiao Yuyi's pointed words caused Chen Yuanyuan to look astonished. She couldn't help but slightly open her mouth to refute something.

The jewelry store had indeed lost a lot of money in the past few months, so how did he know about this? What was the meaning of attacking her in front of so many people?

If she couldn't make ends meet, she was planning to close the jewelry store. She naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Yu where the money came from.

”Little Yu, who did you hear that from?” I'm afraid there's been a mistake. ” Although Chen Yuanyuan's expression was normal, she was incomparably panicking in her heart, ”My jewelry shop's business has been pretty good recently, and I even made a lot of money. The money I earn from travelling is from earning money.”

”Is that so?” Xiao Yu pursed his lips, his tone cold.

”Of course.” Chen Yuanyuan's expression turned ugly as she looked reproachfully at Xiao Yu, ”Little Yu, what you're saying is wrong. Don't you want Second Sister-in-law's jewelry store business to be booming?”

”But what I said was the truth.” However, Xiao Yu didn't intend to let the matter go, ”This is inconsistent with my investigation. Since two years ago, Second Sister's jewelry store has been on the decline and only a few months ago it was profitable. Afterwards, there were complaints about counterfeiting, and from then on the business of the jewelry store has plummeted. I'm afraid there are no more guests. ”

”No, where did you hear that?” Chen Yuanyuan's expression was no longer calm, ”My jewelry shop's business is very good, don't spread the news, you'll know one day when you see it for yourself. There are also a lot of customers who come back, and every time a new model is released, they impatiently come to the store.”

”Recently, there has been a problem with the Xiao Group's project.” Xiao Yu methodically continued, ”After the investigation, we discovered that the person in charge of this project gave the project to a third-rate contractor, and he spent a large amount of money to get the project.”

”This is a matter of your group, I don't understand.”

”Second Uncle should be clear that Second Uncle is personally responsible for this project. In the afternoon, I already sent someone to report the problems that occurred during the project. I wonder how Second Uncle will handle it?”

”Little Yu, don't worry.” Xiao Zhenju was a sincere and serious person, ”If there are any problems in this project, I will take full responsibility. I will try my best to make up for the lost funds. I won't make it hard for Xiao Yu.”

”What did you say?” Chen Yuanyuan panicked when she heard that, ”It wasn't just a small amount of money that was lost on that project, you …”

”Shut up, you still think it's not enough!” Xiao Zhen Ju suddenly reprimanded Chen Yuanyuan. She had always been a kind and kind person, but this was the first time his face had turned so dark. She scared Chen Chong so much that she didn't dare say anything more.

”Since Second Uncle is willing to bear the burden, then …” Xiao Yu's gaze swept over Chen Chong Yuanyuan intentionally or unintentionally, ”I won't continue to investigate this matter. Let's leave this matter at that.”

”Thank you, Little Yu.” Xiao Zhenju nodded.

However, Chen Yuanyuan was angry, but she didn't say anything. Taking advantage that no one was paying attention to them, she tugged on Xiao Zhen Ju's sleeve and lowered her voice, ”Why do you have to take responsibility? ”Do you know that this is simply a bottomless pit? You …”

Xiao Zhenju said coldly, ”You took the money without permission, didn't you?”

”I... What nonsense are you spouting? ” Chen Yuanyuan turned her face away unnaturally.

”The evidence is already conclusive, yet you still refuse to admit it. Do you know what it means to accept bribes? If Little Yu were to pursue this matter to the end, you'd probably end up in jail your entire life.”

Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red from being scolded at. How could she not have complaints in her heart?

”If it wasn't for the fact that this old man was biased and started a company for Big Bro, I'm afraid you're the one who's in the advanced position right now. You wouldn't have fallen to working for them, just looking at them.” Chen Yuanyuan was furious.

”Enough, how long are you going to continue to remain ignorant? ”I've already said that my brother started the company with money from the bank.” Xiao Zhenju frowned and spoke in an impatient tone.

”These words can only be said to fool you. This old man must have given it to you in private.” Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth.

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan had been brooding over this matter for so many years, Xiao Zhenju shook his head helplessly.

It was unknown when she would be able to understand and feel better.

During the whole process, Ye Yan and Xi Lin were looking at the scene attentively. Xiao Yu's intention to protect Huo Lin had caused her to smile.

If she had questioned Xiao Yu, he probably wouldn't have admitted it. He would have argued that he had wanted to question Chen Chong Yuanyuan a long time ago. However, Ye Yan knew that Xiao Yu didn't want his mother to be treated coldly.

Ye Yanxi had also looked over Xiao Yu's information early in the morning. The information that she hadn't planned to mention at the family banquet was from tomorrow's meeting.

However, Xiao Yu had chosen to say it out loud. It was likely that his purpose here wasn't as simple as it seemed.

On the surface, it didn't seem like the relationship between Xiao Yu and Huo Lin was that good. However, blood was thicker than water. Xiao Yu subconsciously protected his mother.

Although Ye Yanxi did her best to tell her that it was just a meal, but she still couldn't bear Su Mei's hostile gaze. When she first entered the Xiao family's guest hall, Su Mei had arrogantly regarded her as an employee, but after the matter of Xiao Yu protecting her, Su Mei was obviously very unhappy.

As a result, the following scenes often occurred during meals.
