Chapter 184

The meaning of these words is still to have Xie Mengke agree to them, merge the studio into Xiannaier, and also have Xie Mengke agree to be their designer.

After all, they just want to use Xie Mengke to make more money.

"Hmph! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Xiao Jingrou gave a cold hmph, unwilling to glance at her again.

Afterwards, the police arranged to take a statement.

Yu Siying's people naturally all stood on her side, saying that Xie Mengke started the trouble and threw the first punch.

That woman, perhaps because she's done many bad things, tells lies smoothly, one after another.

Looking at Xie Mengke's side, the situation wasn't looking good; their statements were accused by Yu Siying's side of being false alarms, leaving them with no recourse, only able to anxiously wait.

This matter, an employee of Xie Mengke suddenly thought of the surveillance: "Right, officer, our studio has surveillance; you can check the footage and the truth will be clear."

Upon hearing that, the studio's other staff immediately felt like they'd grabbed a lifeline, but before they could react, the officer on the other side poured a bucket of cold water: "We've already checked; your surveillance footage has been deleted."

"What?"

The studio's employees looked at each other in disbelief, at a loss.

At that moment, Xiao Ming finally arrived at the station: "Dad, I'm here."

Seeing Xiao Ming appear, Xiao Jingrou immediately found her backbone; the big stone in her heart dropped at once, knowing that with her dad around, no one could bully her and her friends.

"Jingrou, are you alright?" Upon seeing Xiao Jingrou, Xiao Ming first gave her a once-over, confirming his precious daughter wasn't hurt, and only then did his expression improve slightly.

"Dad, those people are too bullying; they first bullied my friend, and now they're framing my friend."

"My friend only hurt someone because she saw that guy about to hit me and wanted to protect me; in the heat of the moment she ended up injuring someone." Xiao Jingrou said aggrievedly to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming patted his daughter's shoulder and soothed: "It's okay, don't worry; Dad will settle this and won't let your friend be wrongly accused."

"Where are the other party?" Xiao Ming asked his daughter gently.

Xiao Jingrou looked at Yu Siying with eyes full of hatred: "It's her, that shameless woman."

Afterward, Xiao Ming coldly looked at Yu Siying: "Was it you who made my daughter suffer injustice?"

"Hmph, are you here to help them?" Yu Siying looked at Xiao Ming with disdain; this man's whole body exuded a cold aura, making her uncomfortable, but her background was strong enough to give her ample confidence.

She sneered at Xiao Jingrou: "Miss, you're already an adult, past the age of running to your parents when something happens; you and your friend must take responsibility for your own actions—you hurt someone, and finding anyone to help won't change anything."

With Xiao Ming present, Xiao Jingrou would no longer fear being bullied by such a woman; she raised her voice indignant and retorted to Yu Siying: "You're right—people must take responsibility for their own actions, but you rely on your power to bully others, invert right and wrong, and you will pay the price."

"It was you who first tried to snatch my friend's design drawings and materials in her studio; we stopped you, and you wanted to resort to violence—my friend injured someone only to protect me; the fault lies with you." Xiao Jingrou accused angrily.

"Hmph, you say all that, but do you have evidence? My employees really were injured." Yu Siying replied without a hint of guilt: "We will certainly investigate this to the end."

"Xiannaier's people?" Xiao Ming glanced at Yu Siying indifferently.

Bringing up Xiannaier, Yu Siying believed its name could shock the man opposite, and she replied haughtily: "Exactly, is this your daughter? You, as a father, are truly a failure—learning to stand up for friends at such a young age? If you want to stand out, first measure your own worth."

"Hmph, your daughter stood up for her friend and injured my employee; she too must take responsibility for this. If you're sensible, hurry and beg me—I might consider letting my daughter go easy on yours, reducing her sentence by two years; if you displease me, just wait to rot in prison."

"Is that so? Your parents never told you that a sharp tongue also carries a price?" Xiao Ming said coldly, thinking of letting his daughter rot in prison—has this woman grown tired of living?

"Ha, are you trying to scare me?" Yu Siying was unmoved.

Xiao Ming couldn't be bothered to give that clueless woman another glance; he wasn't the type to press an advantage, but seeing how overbearing she was, he saw no need to be polite.

He could hardly bear to be harsh with his precious daughter, yet this woman dared to speak to him like that about his daughter.

Seeing Xiao Jingrou still looking aggrieved, Xiao Ming felt heartbroken and hurriedly comforted his daughter in every way.

Xiao Yunzhe walked up to Yu Siying, gave a hmph, and sneered: "Woman, I tell you, based on just that sentence, you will definitely die an ugly death today."

"Tch, then let's wait and see; I'm a Xiannaier person, and we're in the right on this matter—what do I have to fear from you?" Yu Siying replied with a scornful laugh.

"Xiannaier's people?" Xiao Ming said the words as if he'd heard the biggest joke, with a playful tone.

Yu Siying, not grasping Xiao Ming's meaning, still arrogantly explained to him: "Exactly, my name is Yu Siying; I'm the young mistress of Xiannaier, the daughter-in-law of Feng Yuejin, and the wife of Feng Zichen."

"As the esteemed young mistress of Xiannaier, would I fear you? You've harmed Xiannaier's people, so you must pay the price." Yu Siying said while stating her identity, her expression extremely proud.

"Tsk, I wonder why you're so arrogant—could it be that the man who slept with you has some background?" Xiao Yunzhe jeered.

But it's merely some background; that Feng Zichen, in front of his father Xiao Ming, is essentially just a younger brother.

"What did you say?" Yu Siying exploded in anger upon hearing the insult.

"I'm saying, if you dare bully my sister, you're as good as dead—and it'll be an ugly death." Xiao Yunzhe retorted provocatively, not forgetting to give Yu Siying a provocative glance.

"Alright, the urgent thing is to get to the bottom of the truth—Xie Mengke's studio surveillance footage has been deleted, and you two each hold your own version..." At that moment, an officer came over to interrupt them.

"It couldn't have been deleted; our studio's surveillance runs 24/7, and we keep the footage for three months before deletion." An employee of Xie Mengke hurriedly defended: "It must have been that vicious woman who used some means to erase it."
