City A has experienced a long-awaited turmoil. The wealthy Yu family has declared bankruptcy. The Yu couple were killed in a car accident.
Only their only daughter, Yu Yan, the divorced wife of the Si family, was left. She owed a huge amount of money and her reputation had plummeted. She had just experienced an affair and was now facing the disaster of the death of both parents and the bankruptcy of her company.
Overnight, Yu Yan became everyone's gossip. A wealthy young lady, always provided for, faced with such an ordeal, it was unclear whether she could survive.
Half of the people are on the side watching the joke. They can't help when someone is in trouble, but they can kick someone when they are down. At the rich lady's afternoon tea, Yu Yan became the unfortunate person in their eyes. The successive blows are bound to make people sigh.
They expressed all kinds of regrets on their lips, but their eyes clearly showed gloating. The enemies were sad, but their relatives were happy. The Yu family occupied such a big piece of the pie in the shopping mall, and now that it collapsed, they could naturally get a piece of the pie.
Furthermore, Yu Yan is a well-known rich girl. Both her figure and appearance make her the envied daughter of wealthy families. In the past, with the Yu family as her backing, no one dared to provoke her. Later, with the Si family, no one dared to take the risk. But now, the Yu family has collapsed and the Si family has expelled her from the family. She is just a weak woman with nothing.
So the dead hearts of those young men who were idle and indulging in wine and women began to come back to life.
But outside, it looked like the sky was falling, and Yu Yan, the person involved, disappeared inexplicably.
The Yu family failed to pay back their debts, and the creditors became anxious and desperate, so they approached Si Youli, instigated reporters, bribed the media, and reported the matter directly in the news.
The stock of Sishi, which had finally stabilized, began to fluctuate again.
Everyone thought that the Si family would choose to remain silent this time. After all, it was not their family that owed the money. In the final analysis, it had nothing to do with them. As long as they let the debt collectors waste their time, it would eventually come to nothing.
But I didn't expect the Si family to respond so quickly.
The dispute was reported in the newspapers in the morning, and Si Youli held a media conference in the afternoon.
The man in a black suit had an extremely gloomy expression on his face and sat there, allowing the reporter to throw tricky questions at him.
The reporter asked several questions in a row. Si Youli pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "First of all, Mrs. Si and I have a good relationship. We have not separated as the outside world says. Secondly, Si has already repaid the large amount of debt owed by the Yu family. The remaining small amount can be settled by contacting Si later."
"As for my wife, she's been devastated by the loss of her parents and is resting at home. I haven't allowed her to appear in public, and I don't understand the rumors that she's disappeared. I'd like to remind everyone not to be too curious about my wife's privacy. I don't think you would want my lawyer to have to deal with you either. What do you think?"
The latter words were said to the reporters in front of him. The reporters here were basically from the largest newspapers and media. If they did not take the lead, the rest of the reporters would not dare to take the risk, so it was necessary to make an example of them.
The reporters here are all smart people. Looking at Si Youli's attitude, they can basically guess what his attitude towards Yu Yan is.
So they began to express their positions and promised that they would never report Yu Yan's affairs without his consent.
Hearing their assurances, Si Youli curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
In a press conference that lasted less than half an hour, everything about the outside world was explained clearly.
Si Youli's words were brief, but his meaning was clear. He protected Yu Yan.
Si Youli's uncle has been eyeing the Si family covetously, and every decision Si Youli makes will cause him dissatisfaction.
The accusatory phone call came just as he left the press conference.
He looked at the caller ID on his phone and sneered sarcastically.
Is this a desperate move? They came to him so impatiently. He thought their willpower was so strong, but it turns out they are just this strong.
The moment the call was connected, an accusing voice rang out, "Si Youli, the company doesn't belong to you alone. Why didn't you discuss it with the shareholders before making any decisions? You just poured billions of dollars into it. Where do you put us shareholders?"
Last time at the old house, they had a falling out. In order to protect Yu Yan, he didn't even have basic respect for them. No matter what, they were his elders. He was so arrogant and didn't put them in a good position.
Having lost face, they were too lazy to even pretend and just fell out. The company is now basically divided into two forces, one belonging to Si Nanshan and the other to Si Youli. No one knows when one of the forces will be disintegrated, and it is also unclear whether the company will change hands.
Si Nanshan was trying his best to suppress his anger, but his voice was still filled with dissatisfaction and accusations.
Si Youli chuckled, and the contempt in his laughter was conveyed to Si Nanshan through the phone.
The tone was slow and lazy, but the sarcasm was so thick that it seemed to be overflowing.
"Uncle, I'm using my own funds to repay the Yu family's debts. It has nothing to do with the company. How could I not know that I need to greet a group of irrelevant shareholders just to use my own funds?"
Every word he said fully demonstrated that, in his eyes, they, the shareholders, were nothing.
It is conceivable how angry Si Nanshan was. His heavy breathing could be heard over the phone, and finally he gritted his teeth and said "You!"
In late autumn, the leaves begin to fall. Red and yellow leaves fall from the trees one by one, weaving a bit of warmth.
However, they are destined not to have time to appreciate and experience this warmth.
Si Youli looked up at the azure sky and suddenly said something in an ambiguous tone, "Uncle, if you think your life is too busy, you can resign and retire."
Si Nanshan's face changed drastically, and before his anger could ferment, the phone was hung up.
Looking at the words "call ended", he couldn't hold back his anger and threw the phone against the wall with a bang. The fragile phone couldn't withstand the force and fell to the ground in pieces.
Because of anger, the corners of his eyes were red, he clenched his fists fiercely, and cursed with gritted teeth: "Si Youli, you are going too far!"
Si Youli, who had gone too far, drove to the hospital after leaving the press conference.
Tomorrow is the funeral of Yu's father and mother, and she hasn't woken up yet.
Ever since the doctor said he could talk to her about topics of interest and things that concerned her, he had time to sit by her bed and talk to her.
Before this, he never knew that he could talk so much by himself. It was hard to describe the feeling. Seeing her lying so quietly on the bed, he was alone, chattering about trivial things. The quiet ward was filled with only his voice and her extremely quiet face.
At that moment, he actually felt a sense of peace and tranquility. It was absurd, but very real.
