The elevator door opened, and she marched out . At a glance, the President’s office seemed even more somber and gloomier than the lobby .
Xuxu had a hunch that something bad had happened . This atmosphere couldn’t be entirely due to Flourish & Prosper being on the headlines .
She narrowed her eyes in suspicion and strode inside .
“Lady boss . ”
Qiao Jian had walked in, and he seemed to be in a hurry .
Xuxu stopped him in his path . “Where are you rushing to? What happened? Where is President Yan?”
Qiao Jian answered, “President Yan is in the meeting room, having a shareholder meeting . ”
Shareholder meeting .
Her worst fears had come true, these people had seized the opportunity to create more chaos first thing in the morning . Didn’t they know that the scandal already made everyone feel upset and angry?
Xuxu frowned and her eyes revealed disgust and loathing .
“I shall go there . ” She turned around to head towards the meeting room .
Qiao Jian suddenly reminded her . “Lady boss, First Madam is here . ”
‘First Madam is here . ’
It stumped Xuxu for words, and she halted her footsteps . First Aunt was here . She took the flight home last night, and she was back in the morning .
And the first thing she did was to attend the shareholder meeting .
‘Wang Bin had clearly stated that it was Yan Rusheng who had persuaded him to confess and to tell the truth . ’
Shit . This wasn’t good!
Xuxu’s face went pale and scurried towards the meeting room .
She reached the room and was about to push the door .
But before she could do that, the door swung open .
A familiar towering figure appeared, and she peered at him . “President Yan . ”
Yan Rusheng’s face was starkly green as his hands were clenched by his sides . He was obviously trying to suppress his raging emotions .
His expression softened a little when he saw Xuxu . “Why did you come?”
He walked a few steps forward, and people streamed out from the room . They were all Flourish & Prosper’s shareholders .
Xuxu anxiously pulled Yan Rusheng’s hand . “What happened? I heard that First Aunt is here?”
A refined and graceful woman exited the room . The moment Xuxu caught a glimpse of her, her mouth slightly hung open, and she felt sorry for her .
Just overnight, Jiang Qinglian looked so haggard . It was as if she had aged a decade older, and her hair had streaks of white .
“First Aunt!” Xuxu’s eyes glistened and walked towards Jiang Qinglian .
Jiang Qinglian shot her an icy glare .
And in that instant, Xuxu felt as though she couldn’t breathe .
Jiang Qinglian’s eyes contained hatred, and her expression was cold and spiteful . Xuxu deliberated for a few seconds before taking a step forward .
Yan Rusheng held her back .
Xuxu blinked and stared at Jiang Qinglian, trying so hard to form words . But Jiang Qinglian cut across her . “From now on, we have nothing to do with each other . ”
Every word she said pierced through Xuxu’s heart like an icicle .
She opened her mouth, dumbfounded . Her eyes brimmed with tears that contained overwhelming emotions .
Second Brother was apprehended, and First Aunt had become so haggard overnight . The Yan family was facing a crisis and was on the verge of splitting up .
Xuxu’s words were choked, and she couldn’t utter a sound for some time . “First Aunt, this is a misunderstanding . Why would Ah Sheng do that? Wang Bin was clearly being used . ”
Jiang Qinglian ignored her explanation and coldly said, “I’m here today to get back the shares that the old madam left us . You have no rights to possess it . ”
