Chapter 175: Exposing the scam!

In order to expose the true colors of this group of people, Ye Chen said: "I just said that moving back is no problem. After all, we are all family. However, now that Churan’s studio has been set up, we must make it clear in advance that she will not return to the Xiao Group to work!"

"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 us to move back. It doesn't matter if we move back, we also agreed, but returning to the Xiao Group and going home are two different things, they can't be mixed up, right?"

"No!" Old Mrs. Xiao said decisively: "Since you’ve returned to 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’s very difficult to run a company by yourself. 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’s invitation for their family to move back was fake, and wanting her to return to the Xiao Group was real!

In this way, Old Mrs. Xiao was tossing and turning, actually trying every possible way to get her back.

In that case, all her performance 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 for your invitation for our family to move back, but Ye Chen is right. Moving back and working back are two different things, they can't be mixed up. So, I have to tell you clearly, I can move back, but it’s impossible to return to the Xiao Group. I want to work steadily on my own studio."

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 ruined by Ye Chen in one sentence!

This is simply damned!

She hurriedly played the bitter meat scheme again, crying: "Churan, do you hate Grandma so much? Moving back, returning to work, let’s work together to create a new situation and a new height, 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. 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 sky of your own, even if it’s just an eave that can shelter from the wind and rain, it’s better than living under someone else’s roof. So, I choose to start my own business and 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 depended on this!

If Xiao Churan was unwilling to go back, then just persuading Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, these two burdens and losers, would be of no use at all.

So, she could only grit her teeth secretly, and at the same time used her trump card!

She saw her trembling and walking to Xiao Churan, kneeling 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 and mighty, would kneel to Xiao Churan!

This is truly too subversive to their worldview!

Even Xiao Changqian didn't expect that in order to trick Xiao Churan back, his mother would be so willing to pay such a price!

She had been strong all her life, 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 hurriedly said: "Grandma, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please get up!"

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 return 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 greatly. There was no longer the arrogance and relying on the old to sell the old, only endless regret and pleading.

The Xiao family was now in danger. She felt that even if she had to kneel and beg, 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 Changqian’s face changed. He took Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei and knelt on the ground, begging Xiao Churan.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Churan felt a bit at a loss.

She never expected 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 Xiao family today is really at the end of their rope...

Seeing Xiao Churan still indifferent, Old Mrs. Xiao cried even more, begging: "Churan, please have pity on Grandma, the Xiao family cannot do without you, please come back!"

After speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Churan three times, looking miserable, as if she was going to kneel to death on the spot.

"If I had known today, why act as I did back then?"

At this time, Ye Chen walked to Old Mrs. Xiao and said coldly: "Grandma, thank you for coming to see my father-in-law, but you want Churan to return to the Xiao Group, that’s impossible."

After speaking, he issued an eviction order: "Please leave here!"

Old Mrs. Xiao shed tears and said angrily: "Ye Chen, you married into our Xiao family when you had nothing. We gave you food, drink, clothes, and housing. Don't you have any gratitude? At this time, you still want to split our Xiao family?"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said: "I’m sorry, Grandma, the people who gave me food, drink, clothes, and housing are Churan and my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Besides mocking me and calling me a loser, you have never given me anything. Why should I be grateful to you?"

After speaking, Ye Chen’s face
