Chapter 150 News about Lin Wu
"Kneel... kneel down?"
Frightened by Old Madam Su's stern reproach, Su Tianhao shuddered from head to toe.
Old Madam Su said with resolute determination, "Correct, kneel down to me immediately!"
"Grandma, but I'm still injured!" Su Tianhao wanted to cry but had no tears.
Su Yue also quickly spoke up, "Grandma, though big brother is at fault, he's injured. I'm afraid he can't even stand up, isn't kneeling a bit too much?"
"You shut your mouth!" Old Madam Su shouted angrily.
Su Yue opened her mouth, pale-faced; it was also her first time seeing Old Madam Su erupt in anger. Chastised by Old Madam Su, Su Yue didn't dare to speak again.
"Kneel, or will you not kneel?"
After scolding Su Yue, Old Madam Su once again turned her gaze to Su Tianhao.
Su Tianhao's face turned deathly pale as he broke out in cold sweat. At that moment, he wanted to kneel but was physically incapable.
The previous night, he had been kicked by Ye Fan, breaking several ribs in his chest. The slightest movement brought unbearable pain, let alone standing up and kneeling down.
Ye Fan mocked from the side, "Su Tianhao, you brought this upon yourself. Don't you want to bear the consequences? If you don't kneel, you'll drag the entire Su Family down with you. Do you want to become the criminal of the entire Su Family?"
At this time, Ye Fan was most pleased to see Su Tianhao's embarrassment.
He had beaten up Su Tianhao last night, and to his surprise, Su Tianhao, unrepentant and with broken ribs, still dared to return to Su Corporation to deride Su Ruoxue.
For someone like Su Tianhao, who never learned his lesson, Ye Fan naturally showed no mercy with his words.
"Ye Fan, you bastard!" Su Tianhao's eyes nearly burst from rage.
He wanted to go forward and beat up Ye Fan, but he couldn't even stand up, so he had no chance whatsoever.
Xu Ruoxuan could tell that Su Tianhao and Ye Fan were at odds, so she turned to Old Madam Su and asked, "Is this the attitude of the Su Family?"
"Su Tianhao, how dare you not listen to me?" Old Madam Su burst into fury.
With a look of grievance, Su Tianhao said, "Grandma, it's not that I refuse to kneel, but my body just won't allow it!"
"Your body won't allow it? What a fine excuse 'your body won't allow it'!"
In order to prevent Xu Ruoxuan from troubling the Su Family, Old Madam Su, furiously raised her right hand and fiercely slapped Su Tianhao's face in an instant.
Slap!!!
Caught off guard, Su Tianhao was fiercely slapped by Old Madam Su, and along with his wheelchair, he tumbled to the side, evidence of the slap's immense force.
"Ow!"
Su Tianhao hit the ground face-first, letting out a mournful scream as his chest ribs suffered another heavy blow.
After wailing, the intense pain was unbearable for Su Tianhao, and he fainted on the spot.
"Calamity, calamity!"
Old Madam Su seemed not to have vented her anger fully, kicking Su Tianhao twice more, directly exacerbating his injury, with fresh blood quickly soaking through his shirt in front of his chest.
Seeing that Su Tianhao was bleeding, Xu Ruoxuan finally said slowly, "Old Madam, that's enough! Let's end this matter here!"
"Thank you, Miss Xu, thank you, Miss Xu!" Hearing this, Old Madam Su was relieved as if reprieved.
She knew that the Su Family had been saved and no longer faced the risk of bankruptcy.
Xu Ruoxuan went on to say, "Of course, this matter is not over yet. Your Su Family will have to compensate our Xu Family by completing the eighty million high-end series of cosmetics as per our arrangement!"
"Of course!" Old Madam Su hurriedly replied.
Xu Ruoxuan glanced at Ye Fan and smiled, "In the future, during your Su Family's cooperation with our Xu Family, if you dare to pass off inferior products as high-quality ones again, it will not be resolved as easily as this time!"
"What? Future cooperation?"
Old Madam Su was shocked; she could not have dreamed that after offending the Xu Family, Xu Ruoxuan would still want to continue cooperating with the Su Family.
"Yes, future cooperation!" Xu Ruoxuan emphasized.
Old Madam Su was overjoyed, "Miss Xu, rest assured, from now on, I will personally supervise all the cosmetics Su Corporation delivers to the Xu Family. There will absolutely be no problems!"
"Very well! Then, let's consider this matter settled!" Xu Ruoxuan finally felt satisfied.
Old Madam Su felt as if a massive burden was lifted from her shoulders, "I'm truly grateful to Miss Xu!"
"No need to thank me, you should thank Mr. Ye instead!" Xu Ruoxuan glanced at Ye Fan.
Thank Mr. Ye?
Old Madam Su was quite astonished, as she could not understand what this matter had to do with Ye Fan.
Just now, Old Madam Su had thought that it was her attitude that had satisfied Xu Ruoxuan, and that Xu Ruoxuan gave Su Corporation a chance because of the old acquaintance between her grandfather and her spouse.
Little did she know, if it hadn't been for Ye Fan speaking up, Xu Ruoxuan would have already made an example out of Su Corporation.
After a pause, Xu Ruoxuan added, "Moreover, Su Ruoxue is the true rising star of your Su Family. From now on, she will be fully responsible for the cooperation between the Xu Family and the Su Family!"
"Yes, Miss Xu!" Old Madam Su didn't dare to object in the slightest.
The fact that the Xu Family could continue to cooperate with the Su Family was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; as for who would be in charge, it was no longer important to Old Madam Su.
Then, Xu Ruoxuan looked meaningfully at Ye Fan and said, "Mr. Ye, I never expected that in just one day you would owe my daughter two favors!"
"Two favors? Miss Xu, you really know how to do business!" Ye Fan said with a mix of laughter and tears.
He clearly understood that Xu Ruoxuan's sparing of Su Corporation was the first favor, and the continuation of their business partnership with Su Ruoxue being put in charge to solidify her position within the Su Family was the second favor.
Xu Ruoxuan smiled charmingly, "I hope these two favors of yours won't disappoint me, Mr. Ye!"
"Sweat! If I'd known earlier, I would've kept silent!" Ye Fan was speechless.
Xu Ruoxuan was indeed very intelligent, effortlessly making him owe her favors. Given Xu Ruoxuan's wit, it probably wouldn't be easy for him to repay those two favors.
"Giggle giggle giggle..."
Seeing Ye Fan's embarrassed expression, Xu Ruoxuan couldn't help but smile.
Having achieved her goal, Xu Ruoxuan didn't linger. She bid farewell and left the Su Corporation.
A woman's sixth sense told her that the two favors Ye Fan owed her would be very valuable, even possibly more precious than gold.
Watching Xu Ruoxuan leave, Su Ruoxue looked at Ye Fan with a bizarre expression, "Is your relationship with Xu Ruoxuan really just ordinary?"
"Ruoxue, don't you trust me?" Ye Fan blinked innocently.
Su Ruoxue coldly demanded, "Write a one thousand-word self-criticism when you get home tonight!"
"I'm doomed!"
Upon hearing that, Ye Fan's mouth twitched violently; he knew Su Ruoxue was jealous.
Su Ruoxue had always harbored ill feelings toward Xu Ruoxuan, aware that Xu Ruoxuan felt the same toward her.
Moreover, Xu Ruoxuan was extremely intelligent. Despite knowing there were issues with the Su Family's cosmetics, she not only gave Ye Fan the eighty million owed for the products but also an additional twenty million in interest. It was truly puzzling.
Moreso, Xu Ruoxuan was the Xu Family's beloved daughter, currently at the helm, virtually the Head of a Noble Family.
A person of such high status—how could she easily let go of the Su Family just based on a word from Ye Fan?
Although Su Ruoxue trusted Ye Fan, seeing Xu Ruoxuan flirting with him right in front of her, it would be odd if she weren't jealous.
Suddenly, a phone call came at that moment.
Upon checking the caller ID, Ye Fan saw it was from Lin Wu.
"Ruoxue, I'll take this call!" Ye Fan excused himself and walked away.
After answering the call, Lin Wu said solemnly on the other end, "God Ye, I have an update for you on the investigation you asked for! You were right, an insider betrayal did occur in Zhuang Yan's case ten years ago!"
"An update already?"
Ye Fan was genuinely surprised and urgently asked, "An insider? Who is it?"
