Chapter 175: Expose the scam!
In order to expose the true face of this group of people, Ye Chen said: "I just said that moving back is no problem, after all, we are all family, but now Churan's studio has been set up, so we have to say it in advance, she won't go back to work at the Xiao Group!"
"What?!" Old Mrs. Xiao seemed to have been stepped on her tail, jumping up instantly and saying: "How can that be! I said, not only should the family live together, but they should also work together! How can Churan return to the Xiao family but not return to the Xiao Group?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Grandma, you just said that it was for the convenience of taking care of my father-in-law, so you invited our family to move back. It doesn't matter if we move back, and we agreed, but returning to the Xiao Group is two different things from going home, and they can't be confused, right?"
"No!" Old Mrs. Xiao said firmly: "Since you are back in the Xiao family, Churan must return to the Xiao Group to work!"
After speaking, she continued to fool Xiao Churan: "Churan, your company has just opened, and there is no business at all. It is very difficult for one person to run a company. How can you handle it? Why not close the company and return to the Xiao Group? If so, your life will definitely be more comfortable and easier!"
Xiao Churan also tasted a bit of unusual flavor from Old Mrs. Xiao's words.
It seems that Ye Chen was right. Old Mrs. Xiao wanted their family to move back to the Xiao family, but it was fake. She wanted her to return to the Xiao Group!
In this way, Old Mrs. Xiao was tossing and turning, actually trying every possible way to get her back.
In that case, all her performances just now should be acting, right?
Thinking of this, she felt a chill down her back!
If it weren't for Ye Chen's quick reaction, she might have been fooled!
So, she hurriedly said to Old Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, I am very grateful that you invited our family to move back, but Ye Chen is right. Moving back and going back to work are two different things and cannot be confused. Therefore, I must tell you clearly that I can move back, but it is impossible to return to the Xiao Group. I want to do my own studio down-to-earth."
Seeing Xiao Churan so determined, Old Mrs. Xiao hated Ye Chen to the bone!
She had done so much work and acted in so many plays, but it was all ruined by Ye Chen in one sentence!
This is simply damn it!
She hurriedly played the bitter meat plan again, crying: "Churan, do you hate Grandma so much? Moving back, coming back to work, let's create a new situation and a new height together as a family. Isn't this a perfect situation? Why do you have to stick to your own studio?"
After speaking, she wiped her tears and asked: "Don't you want to forgive Grandma yet?"
Xiao Churan said seriously: "Grandma, this matter has nothing to do with forgiveness or not. It's just that I understand one thing now. Living under someone else's roof is not a way out after all. The best way is to have a piece of your own world. Even if it is just a roof that can shelter from the wind and rain, it is better than living under someone else's roof. So, I choose to start my own business and will not return to the Xiao Group!"
Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, the couple, persuaded: "Churan, why are you still so stubborn? It's so good to go back! It's much better than starting your own business!"
Xiao Churan said without hesitation: "Dad, Mom, this is my personal decision, don't say it anymore, I can't change my mind."
Old Mrs. Xiao knew that victory or defeat was in this one move!
If Xiao Churan is unwilling to go back, then it is useless to persuade Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, these two burdens and losers.
Therefore, she could only grit her teeth secretly, and at the same time used her trump card!
She saw her trembling to Xiao Churan, knelt down in front of her with a thud!
Everyone in the room was stunned!
Who could have thought that Old Mrs. Xiao, who had always been high above and domineering, would actually kneel to Xiao Churan!
This is really too subversive to their worldview!
Even Xiao Changgan didn't expect that his mother would be so willing to pay such a blood price to cheat Xiao Churan back!
She had been strong all her life, and had always hoped to control others and let others kneel to her. When did she ever kneel to others like this?
Xiao Churan was also caught off guard and said: "Grandma, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please get up and say it!"
Old Mrs. Xiao knelt in front of her, full of apologies: "Churan, it was Grandma's fault before. Grandma apologizes to you! Please forgive Grandma and come back to the Xiao family to help! The Xiao family cannot do without you! If it weren't for you, the Xiao family would really be finished. Grandma begs you, please come back!"
At this moment, Old Mrs. Xiao's attitude toward Xiao Churan changed drastically. There was no more arrogance or relying on her seniority, only endless regret and pleading.
Now the Xiao family was in danger. She felt that even if she knelt down and begged, she must beg Xiao Churan back to the Xiao family.
Otherwise, the huge family business would really be buried in her hands.
Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao kneeling and begging, Xiao Changgan's face changed, and he took Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei to kneel on the ground, begging Xiao Churan.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Churan felt a bit at a loss.
She never thought that Old Mrs. Xiao, who regarded face as more important than her own life, could kneel and apologize to her in front of so many people.
It seems that the current Xiao family is really at the end of their rope...
Seeing Xiao Churan still unmoved,
After speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xiao Churan, looking indescribably miserable, as if she were ready to kneel until she died on the spot.
"If you had known it would come to this, why act as you did in the beginning?"
At this moment, Ye Chen walked up to Old Mrs. Xiao and said coldly, "Grandma, I am very grateful that you came to visit my father-in-law, but it is impossible for you to want Churan to return to the Xiao Group."
As he spoke, he issued an order to leave, saying, "Please leave here!"
Old Mrs. Xiao's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she said indignantly, "Ye Chen, when you had nothing, you married into our Xiao family. Our Xiao family gave you food, drink, clothes, and shelter. Do you not have even a shred of gratitude? At a time like this, you still want to split our Xiao family apart?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma, the people who gave me food, drink, clothes, and shelter are Churan and my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Other than mocking me and calling me a loser, you have never given me anything. Why should I be grateful to you?"
Having said that, Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You want to use a sob story to trick Churan into going back, let Churan help the Xiao Group secure cooperation again, and revive the Xiao Group, right?"
