The surprise inspection caught Xu and Qi off guard and also frightened other companies in Jincheng, which issued notices for emergency rectification.

The one who brought the search warrant to investigate Xu and Qi was Lin Ran.

The families in Jincheng also realized that Young Master Lin from the capital was not just a playboy as he appeared to be.

Fortunately, this surprise inspection was a random check, and only Xu’s Jewelry and Qi’s Catering were inspected.

So the question is, why only Xu and Qi were randomly checked?

After some inquiries, each family got the possible reasons from their wives.

It turned out that the daughters of the Xu and Qi families spread rumors about Lin Shao at school, and the ladies of the Xu and Qi families even had an argument with Mrs. Gu at the tea party.

Xu Family,

Xu Xuanyan covered her red face, stood in the living room with her head down, not daring to speak, tears streaming down her face.

Her father has always loved her, but this was the first time he got so angry and slapped her.

Father Xu was furious. "You think you can make up rumors about Young Master Lin? If Gu Jin really wanted to hook up with him, wouldn't you rush to curry favor with her and offend her to death?"

Xu Xuanyan didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. She said incoherently: "I, I thought Mr. Lin wouldn't care about school affairs, and I was also instigated by Qi Yan this time. Dad, I was wrong..."

When she apologized to Gu Jin at school, she didn't think she was wrong, but now she regrets it.

She was only targeting Gu Jin and had no intention of angering Lin Shao because of it.

Father Xu looked at Xu Xuanyan with a look of disappointment, covered his face and sighed, his eyes full of vicissitudes: "Why are the daughters of other Gu families more ambitious than the others, but the ones in our family are always cheating their fathers?"

"It's too late to say this now. It's useless to blame Xuanyan."

Mrs. Xu is different from most wealthy ladies who are good wives and help their husbands. She is a career-oriented woman who has overtaken her husband to become the president of Xu Jewelry. In the Xu family, she has more say than Xu's father.

Father Xu: "If it's not her fault, then why are you to blame? When did you get the radioactive jewelry? How come I didn't know about it?"

Mrs. Xu felt a little guilty: "I didn't know that the radiation from that batch of jewelry exceeded the standard so seriously... You also know that Ruan Xueling and I are competing in sales. If we want to have a high profit, we must reduce the cost..."

Father Xu also knew that she had been competitive all her life and would do anything to win.

He sighed dejectedly, and almost pleaded, "He Lu, stop fighting. After we get through this, we will run the Xu family peacefully. The Xu family's foundation cannot fall into my hands.

Even if you beat Ruan Xueling, what does it matter? She has the Gu family and Gu Zhaoming behind her, and she can start another Xueyao at any time.

The Gu family is very popular now, even the Fu and Tang families avoid it. If the Xu family confronts the Gu family, the Xue family will end up like this. The Wang family is a lesson for us."

Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with reluctance, but as the president of Xu Corporation, she also recognized the situation and knew that it would be good enough if Xu Corporation could survive this time.

"Xu Xuanyan, come with me tomorrow to apologize to Mr. Lin. Then we'll go to Gu's house again."

An apology is definitely needed, but not just from Lin Ran.

Just as his daughter thought, this little affair was nothing to Young Master Lin. He made such a fuss about it, and I'm afraid the key was still the real daughter of the Gu family.
