Just then, the cell phone rang suddenly. The fat on Yao's father's cheeks twitched. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, and he picked up the phone tremblingly.
"Mr. Yao, this is terrible. The head office has received an offline complaint saying that all of our company's smart products are malfunctioning and can't be operated. I don't know who has exposed this matter online, and now all our partners have canceled their orders and are demanding liquidated damages from us. What should we do now?"
The anxious voice of the company vice president came through the receiver.
Yao's father supported Yao's mother, his face was pale and his whole body was shaking.
Yao's mother, who had just been eager to read the news, couldn't help but tremble when she saw that Yao's smart products suddenly exploded and were criticized online. Her phone fell to the ground with a "snap" and broke into pieces.
Yao's father's lips were tense, and the finger pointing at Yao Zitong kept shaking. Finally, he closed his eyes and fainted completely.
Then came the sound of Yao's mother squatting down and shaking Yao's father, crying and wailing.
Reporters' cameras rushed forward to capture this funny scene.
Just now, the couple was arrogantly saying that Yao's success lies in product quality and that they would not go bankrupt even if they were surrounded by negative news.
It now seems that once the news of the adoptive parents forcing their adopted daughter to take the blame and apologize is released, the Yao family will go bankrupt within two days.
But what the reporters couldn't understand was that as a leading company in the smart home appliance industry, Yao's products have always had stable performance and are deeply loved by the people. How could they suddenly malfunction?
What's more, it was a comprehensive product failure, which was simply unbelievable!
I listened to the various speculations of the reporters, and the corners of my lips slowly rose.
What they didn't know was that although Yao Zitong had applied for a patent for the company very early on, she still created a fault program during research and development that only she could trigger remotely in order to prevent plagiarism.
Unexpectedly, what was originally a small bug for theft prevention eventually became a sharp blade that stabbed the Yao family.
I called the police for them with an expressionless face, as Yao Zitong's last respect to them.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, Yao's mother suddenly called me from behind.
"Yao Zitong, don't think I don't know that this is all your doing. You can't take this company away. As long as Xie Chenyu is here, he will definitely help Qingqing and won't let you take the company away!"
Yao's mother's smile was filled with pride, completely devoid of the gentleness she had shown her daughter when they were children. She continued to stab her former daughter with the words she thought were most heartbreaking, "Since you've ruined the Yao family, don't blame Chen Yu for not wanting you!"
I looked back at the middle-aged woman whose eyes were full of hatred towards me, and I didn't blame her.
On the contrary, she is much more lovable than a woman like Qiao's mother who is confused about how to love her adopted daughter.
After all, the reason she hated me so much was that after she found out that Yao Zitong was not her biological daughter and saw that this adopted daughter was better than her biological daughter in every aspect, her love for me gradually turned into disgust.
However, their mistake was that they shouldn't have hurt Yao Zitong again and again with the family affection that she cared about the most!
I squinted my eyes at her, slowly curled my lips, and replied to her word by word, "I've long disliked this rubbish Xie Chenyu. If your daughter likes it, I'll give it to her!"
Then I looked around at the reporters who were still frantically gawking at me and announced again, "I'm Qiao Chuyue. I can't stand Xie Chenyu and his mistress being so affectionate in public, so I've decided to formally file a divorce with the Xie family!"
The video from the banquet hall had already spread everywhere, and the ambiguous relationship between Xie Chenyu and Yao Qingqing was exposed under the witness of netizens across the country.
Furthermore, based on what I said about my engaged relationship with Xie Chenyu, it has now been confirmed that Yao Qingqing is the mistress.
As soon as I finished speaking, Xie Chenyu, who had just bailed out Yao Qingqing, rushed over and happened to hear what I said at the door. He widened his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said in disbelief, "You...you want to break off the engagement with me?"
"Yes, I want to cancel the engagement!"
As I said that, I took off the plain ring I had been wearing on my hand and threw it directly at Xie Chenyu, just like when Yao Zitong was abandoned by them. Finally, the ring rolled off his body weakly and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Xie Chenyu just watched the ring fall from her hand to the ground, and his heart felt as if someone was pulling it hard.
He bought this ring in a fit of excitement to propose to her when she helped him establish the company and the company made its first pot of gold.
At that time, she was so moved when she put on this cheap plain ring that she cried and said she would never take it off.
But she had clearly taken it off and decided to let him go to fulfill his pursuit of true love. He should have been happy, so why was there such an indescribable sadness lingering in his heart?
Xie Chenyu suppressed his inexplicably complicated emotions and angrily asked her in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean? What qualifications do you have to break off the engagement with me? You clearly know that the engagement was forced by the old man. If you want to break off the engagement, go and tell him!"
His face was filled with anger, as if he was as eager to break off the engagement as I was, but because of family reasons he had to pretend to be nice to me and felt wronged.
I folded my arms and looked at him. Of course I knew what he was thinking. He enjoyed the benefits of Yao Zitong accompanying him in starting a business, and the benefits of being engaged to me and gaining the status of heir, but he did not want to bear the stigma of abandoning me, and wanted to take all the benefits.
There is no such thing in the world that he can get all the good things!
Looking back at the group of reporters behind me who were still recording the gory affairs of the wealthy family, I smiled and said to them, "Since you are here, why don't you accompany me to the Xie family to witness the broken engagement!"
The reporters' eyes were shining with excitement. They quickly packed their bags, knocked over Yao Qingqing who was blocking the door, and followed me out.
Yao Qingqing fell to the ground and subconsciously called out to Xie Chenyu, but after calling out a few times, she found that he was still standing there motionless, as if he had lost his soul, and he didn't hear her calls.
She threw the bag beside her over, bringing Xie Chenyu back to his senses from his daze. He looked up at her blankly.
"Xie brother, why don't you help me up quickly, my hands are all rubbed raw!"
In the past, Xie Chenyu would definitely hold her hand with great heartache, and then carry her to the hospital.
But now he just numbly walked up to her and pulled her up, then without saying a word, without even looking at her, he hurriedly followed them out the door.
Yao Qingqing stomped her feet in anger as she watched the man leave without any regrets.
Although she didn't like Xie Chenyu, she would not allow Xie Chenyu to abandon her.
In the past, people in the circle said that Xie Chenyu was her lapdog, and Yao Zitong was Xie Chenyu’s lapdog.
So she couldn't let Yao Zitong cancel the engagement, and she couldn't let someone lose the title of "a dog licking a dog"!
So when she saw several people rushing to the Xie family's old house, she ignored the mother Yao who was sitting on the ground and kept shouting at her to save father Yao, and followed the crowd out of the press conference without looking back.
