Chapter 690: The Prescription of the Ghostly Beast
Come to think of it, what Xiao Shiqiu said is right. He raised me.
Hall looked as if he had suddenly understood something. "Oh, I see. The relationship you've known each other since childhood is what people in your country call the penicillin-boiled-horse relationship."
I:"……"
What kind of weird prescription is this!
Xiao Shiqiu didn't correct him, but smiled and nodded good-naturedly, "Yes, yes, your Chinese is really getting better and better."
I whispered in his ear, "Why don't you correct him?"
Xiao Shiqiu smiled calmly and replied softly, "I corrected him, so why did he embarrass himself when he came to China?"
What a sinister old man!
Xiao Shiqiu extended a friendly invitation: "I'll send you the electronic invitation to my engagement party in two days. Are you free to attend?"
Hall laughed. "Of course. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to go to China, and you've given me a very good reason."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xiao Shiqiu changed the subject and said, "Let's get back to the point. What do you think about the trouble my cousin is having?"
Lawyer Hall put down his coffee cup, his expression instantly serious. "I've heard about Mr. Tang. I have to say, the Su family's young lady's methods are quite...ingenious."
"That's why I need your professional advice."
Xiao Shiqiu sent over an electronic file. "This is Su Pharmaceutical's financial report for the past five years. As far as I know, their genetic research institute does not have the right to operate assisted reproduction."
Lawyer Hall quickly scanned the documents. "Interesting... Under California law, performing artificial insemination without a permit is punishable by up to ten years in prison. However..." He paused, "To prove that Miss Su became pregnant through illegal means, we need more direct evidence."
"for example?"
"For example, the institute's surveillance footage, or the testimony of staff members."
Lawyer Hall pushed his glasses up. "I remember you said that Miss Su has been frequenting Dr. Chen's clinic recently?"
Xiao Shiqiu gave a meaningful smile. "I've already got the surveillance footage from the clinic. Could you please organize the chain of evidence? I need a complete set of materials that I can use to sue at any time. Of course, I may not actually sue you, but your compensation will not be reduced by a cent."
Hall smiled heartily: "I'm happy to help.
By the way, Xiao, I found out that there was an additional clause in the sperm donation agreement signed by this institution - allowing the donated information to be used for scientific research purposes."
Hall's words made Xiao Shiqiu's eyes flash. He leaned forward slightly, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Scientific research purposes? That's an interesting approach."
Hall nodded and continued, "Yes, according to the terms, the donor's information can be used for medical research, but only anonymously. If Miss Su somehow obtained Mr. Tang's personal information and used it for artificial insemination, she would have violated the confidentiality clause of the agreement."
Xiao Shiqiu tapped the table lightly and said thoughtfully, "In other words, the little girl from the Su family is not only suspected of illegally using assisted reproductive technology, but also violated the privacy rights of the donor. These two crimes combined are enough to make her very unhappy."
Hall smiled and added, "Not only that, if she was able to obtain Mr. Tang's personal information, it would mean that the institute illegally provided confidential information to a third party. This crime would be a huge blow to a scientific research institution and would trigger a series of regulatory inspections."
Xiao Shiqiu nodded with satisfaction, a cold look flashing in his eyes. "Very good, Hall, you really didn't let me down. I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to establish a solid chain of evidence. I want the Su family to resolve this matter quietly."
After hanging up the video call, I asked Xiao Shiqiu, "Will this cause a complete fallout with the Su family? Considering your relationship with Su Yi, isn't this a bad idea?"
He pondered for a moment and said, "I will communicate with Su Yi. We need to discuss this matter carefully."
Xiao Shiqiu called Su Yi. With Su Yi's intelligence, he knew the purpose of Xiao Shiqiu looking for him after just a few words.
Su Yi said with some embarrassment: "Brother Qiu, I know that what Yaoyao did was not right, but she has been the apple of my old lady's eye since she was a child. She has never listened to me, and the old lady is even more protective of her. I really have no choice."
Xiao Shiqiu's tone was still somewhat nonchalant: "Su Yi, your sister has really gone too far this time. Not only has she made your overseas research institute suspected of illegally using artificial assisted reproductive technology, she has also violated the privacy rights of the donors.
"These two charges combined will not only cause your research institute to bear huge compensation, but will also severely affect the stock price due to the scandal. Are you sure your old lady will let her do this?"
Su Yi was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, I know this matter is very serious. But can you give her a chance for my sake? I will let her apologize to Ayi in person and promise not to do it again in the future."
Xiao Shiqiu said earnestly, "Su Yi, I know that Yaoyao is a stubborn girl with strong ideas, but a forced melon is not sweet. Even if she gets Ayi by force, can they live in harmony in the future? What's the point of pairing up a couple with bad tempers?"
Yaoyao herself is very outstanding, so why should she be so pessimistic?
If this matter gets out of hand, the Su and Tang families have always been on good terms. I don't think the Su family would want to sue the Tang family over this, right? This would probably have a significant impact on your Su family's reputation.
You know Ayi’s mother is my aunt, so I can’t just stand by and watch.”
Xiao Shiqiu didn't say it, but Su Yi understood that the Tang family and the Xiao family had a close relationship. To offend the Tang family was equivalent to offending the Xiao family. No matter how much the old lady of the Su family loved her granddaughter, she would never ignore the interests of the entire Su family for her granddaughter's obsession.
Su Yi's expression turned grim, and he clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. He took a deep breath, his tone somewhat helpless, "Brother Qiu, you're right. This matter really can't continue like this. I'll talk to the old lady as soon as possible and ask her to come forward and talk to Yaoyao."
However, you also know that the old lady has always doted on her, so... almost no one in the Su family can suppress her."
Xiao Shiqiu nodded, his tone softening slightly: "I know it's difficult for you to be caught in the middle, but this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If the old lady can't convince me, I don't mind going to talk to her in person."
Su Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Qiu, you'd better not go. The old lady is old, and I'm afraid that your mouth will make her angry and hurt. I will find a way to get my parents to persuade her together, please give me some time."
