Looking at the evidence on the table, Guan Yong, who was originally angry, completely lost his temper. He wanted to say something, but after a long time, he couldn’t say anything. It was really too embarrassing.
Su Yan didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she watched the change in Guan Yong’s expression. After Guan Yong stuffed everything back into the brown paper bag, she then said, “Mr. Guan, the copy in your hand is only a spare copy. All the original documents are in my hands. Do you still think that eating this meal with me is a waste of time?”
Upon hearing her sarcastic words, Guan Yong burned with anger. He glanced at Wei Zhou, who was sitting beside him. If Wei Zhou wasn’t there today, he wouldn’t have admitted defeat so obediently. He asked Su Yan, “Do you think these things can defeat me?”
However, today’s dinner was arranged by Wei Zhou, so he had to show respect to Wei Zhou. He didn’t dare to be rude to Wei Zhou. Moreover, it was obvious that Wei Zhou was on Su Yan’s side.
Looking at Su Yan’s smug smile, Guan Yong held back the hatred in his heart and said, “President Su, this is just your word. I can’t just listen to you and do whatever you say, right? But don’t worry, I will get someone to verify this matter. If the situation is true, I will definitely order Yutong to apologize to you.”
Hearing him say this, Su Yan picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup. “President Guan, we are all adults, so why do you have to say such childish things? If a simple apology is useful, then why do we need the police? Or is it that if your precious daughter says sorry to me, I have to forgive her?”
Seeing that Su Yan wasn’t going to relent, Guan Yong stared at her and said, “Since you say so, why don’t you tell me your plan, and I will sue…”
Initially, he wanted to say something harsh, but when he heard Wei Zhou snort, he immediately held back the rest of his words. Although the snort wasn’t loud, it made him feel a chill down his spine.
Su Yan took a sip of tea and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. People always make mistakes. Originally, I could have let your daughter go on account of Mr. Guan, but this matter has caused a sensation on the internet, and it has affected my reputation greatly. I myself have been subjected to a lot of online violence and personal attacks. The most infuriating thing is that your precious daughter is the mastermind. She used underhanded methods to fool the public. If I expose this matter, I think Mr. Guan can imagine what will happen to your precious daughter, right?”
Guan Yong stared at Su Yan. “Just say it. What exactly do you want Yutong to do before you forgive her?”
The corners of Su Yan’s mouth curled up. “Since we’re going to use an apology to resolve this matter, why don’t we do it more straightforwardly? Let your precious daughter take the initiative to reveal the ins and outs of everything and apologize via live broadcast. As long as she can do it, I won’t pursue this matter anymore. What do you think, President Guan?”
Upon hearing this, Guan Yong slammed the table and said, “In other words, no matter what, you won’t forgive her? You must make my daughter ruin her reputation and her career before you’re satisfied?”
He wasn’t a fool, so he naturally understood what Su Yan wanted to do. Making Guan Yutong publicly apologize was no different from making her announce her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Guan Yutong’s persona would be ruined and she would suffer countless curses and accusations. As her father, he naturally didn’t want to see such an outcome.
Su Yan chuckled. “Mr. Guan, please understand one thing. It’s not that I am unwilling to forgive her, nor do I want your precious daughter’s career to be ruined. It’s that she is unwilling to let it go. She got karma. This is called ‘self-inflicted punishment’.”
When he heard the words ‘self-inflicted punishment’, Guan Yong was enraged. However, what the other party said was right. He couldn’t refute anything. After all, his daughter had brought this upon herself.
At this moment, Wei Zhou put down the teacup and said coldly, “There’s another idiom. It’s called ‘you reap what you sow’. It’s also very appropriate.”
Guan Yong’s expression changed. “President Wei, how can you say that about Yutong? Our two families are old friends. You and Yutong have known each other since young and are at least childhood friends. Although she did something wrong, you can’t just watch her reputation get ruined, right?”
He had completely different attitudes towards Wei Zhou and Su Yan. When he faced Su Yan, even if she had a lot of evidence in her hands, it couldn’t change the contempt and arrogance in his heart. But towards Wei Zhou, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
