Song Shijing reminded her indifferently. âOld Madam Qiao, let me remind you that if you donât tell the truth, you canât blame our president for being vicious. There arenât many companies left under the Qiao familyâs name. There are only three more. Let me tell you again, we wonât touch the companies left behind by Madam Xia Yunqiu. After all, those companies were left behind by Young Madamâs mother. Theyâre the hard work of our presidentâs mother-in-law. Those companies will be left to Young Madam in the future.â
âBut the Qiao familyâ¦â Song Shijing looked regretful. âPresident, Iâm afraid Old Madam Qiao wonât tell the truth. Thereâs nothing left in the Qiao family. Everything will probably be destroyed after we burn a few more documents. How boring.â
Old Madam Qiaoâs body swayed and she almost fell to the floor. Then, she glared fiercely at Qiao Xi and forcefully endured the anger in her heart. âXi Xi, the Qiao family is your home too!â
âOld Madam Qiao, our presidentâs time is limited. If you continue to delay and anger the president, your Qiao family will lose everything!â Old Madam Qiaoâs face turned pale, while her heart thumped violently. Qiao Xi, that little b*tch! Why didnât she tell her family that she had married Gu Zheng? Shouldnât she take the initiative to give the Qiao family a sum of money to tide over the difficult times and bring benefits to the family?
âOld Madam Qiao, our president just wants to know the truth. Why did you want our young madam to marry Young Master Zhong? Was it just for that sum of money? If it was for money, you have so many other options. Why did you have to choose to marry Young Madam to the sadistic Zhong Ming? Or is Mr. Zhong telling the truth? Did the Qiao family want Young Master Zhong to torture our young madam to death?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Madam Qiao was shocked. âNo, no! Heâs spouting nonsense!â
Then, the flames burned again. A piece of paper turned to ashes, which also meant that one more of the Qiao familyâs businesses had gone under.
Old Madam Qiao felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. She forcefully endured the rage in her heart and hurriedly explained, âWe didnât intend to torture Xi Xi to death. We just thought that Xi Xiâs character was too stubborn, so we wanted toâ¦â
Song Shijing took out another document. The lighter was lit up, and the paper was burnt to ashes.
âStop burning! Iâll tell you the truth!â
The Qiao familyâs phones rang one after another. Their subordinates were anxiously asking for help. Gu Corporation was suppressing the Qiao familyâs businesses. Some went directly bankrupt, while others were forcefully bought over. If this continued, Qiao Corporation would disappear from Li City.
Old Madam Qiaoâs eyes were bloodshot. She was going crazy. She stared at the lighter in Song Shijingâs hand. If she did not tell the truth, Gu Zheng would destroy the entirety of Qiao Corporation.
This could not continue!
Gu Zhengâs expression was indifferent, and his eyes were calm. However, the aura he exuded made one shudder and feel reverence.
At this moment, everyone present did not say anything. They were afraid that if they angered President Gu, he would use the same method to deal with them.
Seeing the Qiao familyâs businesses getting destroyed one after the other, Old Madam Qiao almost went crazy. âIâll say it now! It was Rou Rou. This was all Rou Rouâs idea!â
Qiao Rouâs heart skipped a beat.
Song Shiyu had a mocking look on his face. âMiss Qiao Rou, didnât you say it was all for the sake of our young madam? You suggested this marriage because you wanted someone to take care of her. You made it sound as though our young madam would be letting you down if she refused! You pretend to be gentle and sensible, but in reality, youâre trying to kill our young madam!â
Gu Moling looked at Qiao Rou in disbelief.
Song Shiyu continued to attack her. âSecond Miss Qiao is indeed the daughter of a mistress. Sheâs so pretentious! She sold our wife to Zhong Ming just to torture her to death!â
The entire venue was silent as everyone watched this scene in disbelief.
Qiao Rou took a few steps back and hurriedly retorted, âSister, I didnât do that! I know you still hate me, but Brother Moling and I are about to get married. What else do you want?!â
Immediately after, another document was burned to ashes.
Qiao Rou widened her eyes and stared at the ashes on the floor. âI⦠I didnât do it. I didnât do it. Donât burn it, donât burn it! I didnât do it!â
Gu Zheng shot him a look, and Song Shijing continued to burn the documents.
Seeing that there were not many documents left, Old Madam Qiao felt her heart stop.
