Both she and Su Rou were in the entertainment industry. As long as Su Rou liked a role or an advertisement, Li Xuemei would spend money and do everything she could to help Su Rou get it.
Several collaborations that Su Xi had previously agreed to were also secured by Li Xuemei through various means because Su Rou wanted them.
Su Xi saw it all.
It's laughable, I think.
If she really wanted to compete, let alone a movie, Su Rou wouldn't be able to secure even a single advertisement.
Li Xuemei showed no remorse whatsoever, glaring at her viciously, "If you were obedient, would I have hit you?"
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh.
Wasn't she obedient enough when she was little?
She would do whatever Li Xuemei asked of her.
Even when she was beaten, scolded, or abused, she endured it and dared not cry.
She lived cautiously in the Su family, trying her best not to make mistakes.
But what about Li Xuemei?
I beat them three times a day, without the slightest bit of leniency.
Even when it was windy, thundering, and rainy at night, he didn't come to see her once, let alone come to apply medicine to her.
Her wound became infected and ulcerated, but Li Xuemei continued to work as usual.
They wouldn't even let her eat a single bite of food.
They say the most venomous heart is that of a woman.
This was truly embodied in Li Xuemei.
Su Jianguo, who had been silent all along, couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, saying, "Why waste words with her? She's the one who caused this mess, and she has to clean it up for me."
Su Xi's gaze shifted to the father.
Of all the members of the Su family, this father was the most 'kind'.
Su Jianguo never participated in the beatings or verbal abuse of Li Xuemei.
She always turned a blind eye and tolerated everyone's bullying of her.
To be honest, Su Xi didn't hate this father.
It's hard to call it a feeling.
"Clean up this mess and get the stock back to normal, and I can let this go." Su Jianguo didn't care about the trivial matters in the entertainment industry; he only knew that the company had to recover its losses.
"Dad, it's best not to let Su Xi get involved in company matters."
Su Rou suddenly interrupted, "Have you forgotten? Five years ago, because of Su Xi's scandal, the company suffered a severe blow. When Su Xi came out to explain, not only did no one believe her, but the company was also smeared and on the verge of bankruptcy..."
The story of Su Rou was brought up again, and the scars that had been buried in Su Xi's heart were torn open once more...
Five years ago, when she first debuted, it was a major shadow in her life.
Su Xi still remembers how she got through that period.
In an attempt to steal her advertising deals, Su Rou maliciously spread her scandals and hired a large number of online trolls to post comments in the top of the comment section, causing her reputation to plummet and resulting in her being verbally abused and personally attacked by her fans.
They even hired reporters to guard their home and company entrance, causing chaos and disturbance throughout the household.
The Su Group was also thrust into the eye of the storm, its stock price plummeted, and it fell into an economic crisis.
Clients cancelled their partnerships one after another, and banks stopped providing financing to the company.
The Su family pinned all the blame on her. In order to restore the cash flow, Li Xuemei was even more inhumane, sending Su Xi to the bank manager's bed.
Su Xi will never forget that night, how she helplessly cried for help in the dark, and how the bank manager abused her.
The other person was a pervert; he tied her hands and feet with rope, whipped her with a belt, and burned her skin with cigarette butts...
A maniacal laugh still lingered at the corners of his mouth.
Fortunately, someone went into the wrong room and saved her life. Coincidentally, someone in the next room was arrested for soliciting prostitution. The police were nearby, and the bank manager's atrocities were exposed and he was arrested.
This matter has gradually faded away with the passage of time.
Unexpectedly, Su Rou brought it up at this moment, which rekindled her memories.
Su Xi's eyes were so cold they seemed to drip with ice water, and she looked at Su Rou as if she were looking at a corpse.
Su Rou felt a chill run down her spine from the gaze and quickly apologized, "Xi'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up, please don't be angry!"
But deep down he was incredibly proud.
She wanted to rub salt into Su Xi's wounds and make this bitch suffer terribly.
Who told Su Xi to steal the man she liked and even her role!
"Rou'er is right. If it weren't for you back then, how could the company have encountered difficulties? Why are you glaring at her?" Li Xuemei was easily swayed by Su Rou's words. Seeing Su Rou being wronged, she felt extremely sorry for her.
Su Xi sneered, "So what? Five years ago you sent me to an old man's bed, and five years later, what new tricks does Ms. Li have up her sleeve?"
Li Xuemei exerted pressure, saying, "You've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, you should have saved up a lot of money. Take it out to compensate the company."
"Also, go tell Director Zhu that the lead role will be given to Rou'er, and you will play the maid."
Su Xi didn't give him any face and refused decisively, "You want money?!"
Li Xuemei thought she had agreed and nodded.
Su Xi smiled again, "No!"
"Su Xi, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble," Li Xuemei threatened.
Su Xi laughed sarcastically, "Ms. Li was quite generous in throwing money at Su Rou to clear her name, wasn't she? What, now that the company is in trouble, Ms. Li isn't even willing to take out her private stash?"
"Su Xi, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Li Xuemei's face suddenly turned ugly.
Su Jianguo was unaware that she had spent money to help Su Rou.
If this gets out, Su Jianguo will definitely not be able to get away with it.
"Didn't President Su check the accounts? Where did all the company's money go?" Su Xi turned to look at Su Jianguo.
The father had a quick temper. Upon hearing that there was a problem with the accounts, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and demanded, "Li Xuemei, what's going on?"
“Jianguo, don’t listen to Su Xi’s nonsense. I didn’t touch the company’s accounts. She’s just trying to sow discord between us.”
Li Xuemei was genuinely panicked.
When Su Jianguo gets ruthless, she has a hard time.
At best, they'll scold her a few times or freeze her expenses.
In severe cases, she estimates she won't be able to leave her home for at least half a month.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Su Rou quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, Mom is devoted to this family, how could she possibly spend money recklessly? It's Su Xi, she's trying to get herself out of trouble by framing Mom."
Su Rou was also afraid that Su Jianguo might investigate the accounts thoroughly and find out that all the money had been spent on her.
Even she's going to be unlucky.
"Ms. Li, the truth will eventually come out," Su Xi said with feigned sigh.
Fear and anger, Li Xuemei lunged at Su Xi with a ferocious expression, "You troublemaker, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart..."
Su Xi really didn't want to fight, but some people insisted on sending her to fight.
She was in a difficult position.
Li Xuemei lunged forward, and Su Xi was about to move when suddenly there was a bang, and Li Xuemei was kicked away.
