Xiao Yuyi's pointed words caused Chen Yuanyuan to look astonished. She couldn't help but slightly open her mouth to refute something.

The jewelry store had indeed lost a lot of money in the past few months, so how did he know about this? What was the meaning of attacking her in front of so many people?

If she couldn't make ends meet, she was planning to close the jewelry store. She naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Yu where the money came from.

"Little Yu, who did you hear that from?" I'm afraid there's been a mistake. " Although Chen Yuanyuan's expression was normal, she was incomparably panicking in her heart, "My jewelry shop's business has been pretty good recently, and I even made a lot of money. The money I earn from travelling is from earning money."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu pursed his lips, his tone cold.

"Of course." Chen Yuanyuan's expression turned ugly as she looked reproachfully at Xiao Yu, "Little Yu, what you're saying is wrong. Don't you want Second Sister-in-law's jewelry store business to be booming?"

"But what I said was the truth." However, Xiao Yu didn't intend to let the matter go, "This is inconsistent with my investigation. Since two years ago, Second Sister's jewelry store has been on the decline and only a few months ago it was profitable. Afterwards, there were complaints about counterfeiting, and from then on the business of the jewelry store has plummeted. I'm afraid there are no more guests. "

"No, where did you hear that?" Chen Yuanyuan's expression was no longer calm, "My jewelry shop's business is very good, don't spread the news, you'll know one day when you see it for yourself. There are also a lot of customers who come back, and every time a new model is released, they impatiently come to the store."

"Recently, there has been a problem with the Xiao Group's project." Xiao Yu methodically continued, "After the investigation, we discovered that the person in charge of this project gave the project to a third-rate contractor, and he spent a large amount of money to get the project."

"This is a matter of your group, I don't understand."

"Second Uncle should be clear that Second Uncle is personally responsible for this project. In the afternoon, I already sent someone to report the problems that occurred during the project. I wonder how Second Uncle will handle it?"

"Little Yu, don't worry." Xiao Zhenju was a sincere and serious person, "If there are any problems in this project, I will take full responsibility. I will try my best to make up for the lost funds. I won't make it hard for Xiao Yu."

"What did you say?" Chen Yuanyuan panicked when she heard that, "It wasn't just a small amount of money that was lost on that project, you …"

"Shut up, you still think it's not enough!" Xiao Zhen Ju suddenly reprimanded Chen Yuanyuan. She had always been a kind and kind person, but this was the first time his face had turned so dark. She scared Chen Chong so much that she didn't dare say anything more.

"Since Second Uncle is willing to bear the burden, then …" Xiao Yu's gaze swept over Chen Chong Yuanyuan intentionally or unintentionally, "I won't continue to investigate this matter. Let's leave this matter at that."

"Thank you, Little Yu." Xiao Zhenju nodded.

However, Chen Yuanyuan was angry, but she didn't say anything. Taking advantage that no one was paying attention to them, she tugged on Xiao Zhen Ju's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Why do you have to take responsibility? "Do you know that this is simply a bottomless pit? You …"

Xiao Zhenju said coldly, "You took the money without permission, didn't you?"

"I... What nonsense are you spouting? " Chen Yuanyuan turned her face away unnaturally.

"The evidence is already conclusive, yet you still refuse to admit it. Do you know what it means to accept bribes? If Little Yu were to pursue this matter to the end, you'd probably end up in jail your entire life."

Chen Yuanyuan's face turned red from being scolded at. How could she not have complaints in her heart?

"If it wasn't for the fact that this old man was biased and started a company for Big Bro, I'm afraid you're the one who's in the advanced position right now. You wouldn't have fallen to working for them, just looking at them." Chen Yuanyuan was furious.

"Enough, how long are you going to continue to remain ignorant? "I've already said that my brother started the company with money from the bank." Xiao Zhenju frowned and spoke in an impatient tone.

"These words can only be said to fool you. This old man must have given it to you in private." Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth.

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan had been brooding over this matter for so many years, Xiao Zhenju shook his head helplessly.

It was unknown when she would be able to understand and feel better.

During the whole process, Ye Yan and Xi Lin were looking at the scene attentively. Xiao Yu's intention to protect Huo Lin had caused her to smile.

If she had questioned Xiao Yu, he probably wouldn't have admitted it. He would have argued that he had wanted to question Chen Chong Yuanyuan a long time ago. However, Ye Yan knew that Xiao Yu didn't want his mother to be treated coldly.

Ye Yanxi had also looked over Xiao Yu's information early in the morning. The information that she hadn't planned to mention at the family banquet was from tomorrow's meeting.

However, Xiao Yu had chosen to say it out loud. It was likely that his purpose here wasn't as simple as it seemed.

On the surface, it didn't seem like the relationship between Xiao Yu and Huo Lin was that good. However, blood was thicker than water. Xiao Yu subconsciously protected his mother.

Although Ye Yanxi did her best to tell her that it was just a meal, but she still couldn't bear Su Mei's hostile gaze. When she first entered the Xiao family's guest hall, Su Mei had arrogantly regarded her as an employee, but after the matter of Xiao Yu protecting her, Su Mei was obviously very unhappy.

As a result, the following scenes often occurred during meals.

When Ye Yan Xi picked up the dish and placed it in her mouth, her arm was suddenly hit, and the dish landed on the table as expected.

Every time, Su Mei would grasp an absolute opportunity, as if she was the only one watching her eat. She was simply everywhere, and even now, Ye Yan Xi still hadn't eaten much.

Seeing the food on the chopsticks being intentionally knocked away by Su Mei, Ye Yan Xi would turn around and glance at her, while Su Mei was eating with a nonchalant expression, as if she hadn't noticed Ye Yan Xi at all.

As the number of times increased, Ye Yan Xi was also annoyed. She felt that Su Mei was too childish. In the end, she just gave up on her chopsticks and picked a spoon. This time, she wouldn't drop it easily.

In this way, Su Mei could not find an opportunity to make a move and could only watch as Ye Yan Xi used her chopsticks to scoop all the dishes into the bowl, then calmly scooped the dishes into her mouth.

Looking at Ye Yan Xi's calm and composed appearance, Su Mei was naturally unhappy in her heart.

Ye Yan Xi's appearance not only attracted Xiao Yu's attention, but she also occupied her position. This was a great chance for her and Xiao Yu to get into a relationship at such a close distance.

In this way, he didn't know how long he would have to wait until the next time.

Thus, Su Mei, who was unwilling to give up, wanted to find an opportunity to make a move and chase Ye Yan Xi away from this position. As long as Ye Yan Xi left, she would be able to openly occupy this position and get close to Xiao Yu.

Thinking up to here, Su Mei looked at the wine cup in front of her and felt that it was not enough. She gave the servant some red wine and coincidentally, Ye Yanxue was wearing a white shirt today.

Su Mei smiled sweetly and then stood up. She raised her voice a little bit higher and said to Xiao Yu, "Big brother Xiao, I haven't properly greeted you today. I'm Su Mei."

To raise a wine cup in front of so many people, everyone would probably raise their own cup in return.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu also raised his wine cup in a symbolic manner.

As long as he had that intention.

The corner of Su Mei's mouth hooked up into a sinister smile, she suddenly extended her hand forward, seemingly because her gravity was unstable, so she fell towards Ye Yan Xi's body.

When Su Mei stood up, Ye Yan Xi felt that Su Mei was harboring malicious intentions. Especially when she was looking at her with a smug look. Ye Yan Xi was naturally on her guard.

As expected, in the name of a toast, she actually poured it onto her.

After practicing Taekwondo for so many years, with Ye Yan Xi's reaction speed and adaptability, it was easy for her to dodge.

Thus, just as Su Mei was about to fall over, Ye Yan Xi's toes quickly hooked up and kicked Su Mei's knee. This caused Su Mei to involuntarily shrink back.

This action made the red wine in her hand splash onto her body, causing her to feel a chill in her collar.

Su Mei cried out in alarm and retreated a few steps back in a flurry. She kept patting her clothes and her well-maintained image of a lady was ruined.

She was wearing a light dress today, and red wine trickled down her collar.

The dress was ruined.

At this moment, the servant was still wiping the wine off with a tissue. However, the red wine had already seeped in. How could he wipe it clean?

Su Mei's image was also in a mess. She looked at Ye Yan Xi with suspicion.

She clearly wanted to throw a tantrum, but why did she do it herself?

Huo Lin naturally saw this scene. Su Mei accidentally spilled the wine on her body, "Su Mei, are you alright?"

Su Mei was furious. Seeing Huo Lin's worried eyes, she smiled. "It's okay, Auntie. I'll go to the guest room for a while and ask my family to send me another set of clothes."

"Alright, alright." Huo Lin agreed, then ordered a servant to take Su Mei to rest.

Ordinary people would have already left in such a situation, but Su Mei was not willing to give up this rare opportunity.

Seeing that Su Mei had left, Ye Yanxi stuck out her tongue mischievously, maintaining her silence throughout the meal.

Suddenly, she heard Xiao Yu open his mouth and say, "Mom, I came here today to announce something."
