Kris Chen came to the manor of Su family.
There were anger and discontent in everyone’s face.
There was a crisis of trust between Huanyu Group and Su family for the big mistake of Mary Su. Su family would sure be blamed.
The old lady of Su family sat in the front seat with a solemn look. The whole hall was very quiet.
Mary was in charge of packaging(fame-building preparation for a star) Rui Liu, so everyone was staring at her, which made her very anxious and uneasy.
However, her anxiety and uneasiness was relieved after Kris arrived, because the people of Su family turned their eyes from her to Kris when they saw him.
Everyone frowned subconsciously. “What is the crap doing here? Is here a place for him?”
At that moment, Hai Su suddenly stood up from his seat. He pointed to Mary and said with a sneer, “Mary, it’s not an easy thing foe Su family to cooperate with Huanyu Group. But the relationship between Su family and Huanyu Group broke down for your mistake. What do you suggest we do about it?”
Mary was speechless for a moment and she didn’t know what to do. She looked at the old lady and said, “I’ll follow grandma’s decision.”
Before the old lady said something, Hai said with a sneer, “Mary, it’s you who made the mistake, but you want grandma to deal with it. Aren’t you going too far? Nothing can make up your mistake.”
After saying that, Hai looked at the old lady and said, “Grandma, as Mary made such a big mistake, she is no longer fit to be in charge of this task. She should be dismissed directly. At the same time, in order to avoid Huanyu Group venting anger on us, she should not be involved in company affairs.”
After hearing what Hai said, the other people of Su family nodded in agreement.
The old lady looked at Mary disappointedly and said, “Just do what Hai said. Mary, from tomorrow on, you can leave the company alone.”
Mary had already prepared for it, but when the old lady said it in person, her heart was full of sorrow. She wanted to explain, but didn’t know what to say.
At that time, Kris, who sat beside Mary, stood up and said, “I don’t agree.”
What Kris said caused an uproar again.
“Kris, shut up. Do you have a say here?”
“You are only the live-in son-in-low of Su family. What right do you have to speak here?”
“Ha, ha, that’s really killing me. Kris is an excrescence. He starts talking nonsense without seeing his own identity.”
There seemed to be a breakthrough of the atmosphere, which was depressing to the extreme. All the people vented their emotions to Kris.
All kinds of angry rebuke, scolding and enigmatic accusations were uttered mercilessly, as if Kris was a heinous criminal.
“That’s enough. Be quiet.” The old lady pounded the table and said. When they saw the old lady was angry, they shut their mouths and dared not speak.
The old lady looked at Kris with a sullen face and said, “What are you talking about? Are you qualified to speak here?”
“The mouth is used to talk. If you don’t talk, what it’s for? I just think you guys are being silly. You don’t even find out what’s going on with Rui Liu program. But you put all the blame on my wife and want to remove her position. Isn’t it too hasty?” Kris said with a sneer.
The old lady doesn’t like Kris. After being contradicted by Kris, her face was even more terrible. “You mean I do Mary wrong?” She said.
The moment when Kris was about to speak, Hai jumped out suddenly. He pointed to Kris and scolded, “Who are you? It’s a family meeting of Su family. What right do you have to boss us around? You are so arrogant that you even question grandma’s decision.”
Kris said with a sneer, “In ancient time, the emperor needed to listen to the opinions of his ministers when making decisions, so why can’t we raise opinions when grandma is making decisions? Besides, I am asking grandma to check it out before she makes the final decision. What are you barking at?”
“Fuck you!”
Hai immediately flied into a rage and he wanted to hit Kris, but Kris’s half-smiled expression stopped him. He remembered the time when grandma was celebrating her birthday and he made a fool of himself, so he immediately gave up the idea of fighting.
Kris laughed at Hai and said, “Mary was framed. It’s not an accident that the headphones of Rui couldn’t receive signal suddenly. Someone must at the back of this.”
What Kris meant was obvious.
But no one believed what he said.
Blue veins stood out on Hai’s neck. “What the fuck are you looking at me? Do you mean I am behind the scene? Fuck you, don’t frame a good person.” Hai said.
Kris smiled and said, “I didn’t say it’s you. Why are you so excited?”
“Kris, shut up. If you make any more nonsense, get the hell out of here.” The old lady pounded the table and said.
The old lady would rather believe it’s Mary’s mistake rather than Hai was behind the scene as to the matter of Rui.
Moreover, the old lady had made it clear on her 70th birthday that if Mary admits Kris as her husband again, she should never call her grandma again.
The old lady was very dissatisfied that Kris appeared at the meeting today. She wanted to scold, but when she thought the matter of Rui hasn’t been solved yet, she didn’t say anything.
The old lady didn’t expect that the crap dared to slander her favorite grandson in front of all the people of Su family. Wasn’t that meant she was wrong?
After seeing the old lady was venting her anger, all the people of Su family gloated at Kris. They wanted the old lady to ask him to get out of there immediately.
“Kris, sit down. Don’t you know where here is? Do you have a say here?” Changhe Su, who sat aside and has been silent, said.
Mary was also anxious. She hurriedly pulled Kris’s clothes and said, “Sit down and stop talking.”
Jane Tang looked at Kris with disgust and didn’t say anything.
Kris was very indifferent to the responses of everyone.
“Well, that’s settled. From now on, Mary is no longer the staff of the company. You can leave now.” The old lady said with a sullen face.
“Wait!”
Just as everyone was about to stand up and leave, the door of the hall was opened and a beautiful figure came in.
She is Rui Liu.
The hall fell silent when she appeared.
They all had some embarrassed expressions on their faces. Did Rui come to denounce them?
The old lady was silent for a moment, then she showed a polite smile on her face and said warmly, “Oh, here comes Miss. Liu. Please have a seat.”
Rui is a new artist of the first serious of Huanyu Group and her future is boundless. Even the old lady dared not slight her.
Mary was very surprised. She didn’t expect that Rui would come here in person. For a moment she was very upset. She wanted to apologize but didn’t know how to say it.
It was Rui’s debut, after all. As there was such a big problem, Mary couldn’t shirk her responsibility.
Rui smiled and didn’t sit down. She went straight to the old lady.
As Kris was there, she dared not to sit down.
Seeing that Rui didn’t sit down, but walked toward her, the old lady frowned but unbent after a while. “Is Miss Liu here for the program? I’m really sorry. It’s the responsibility of Su family. Please rest assured, we will find out what’s going on. Besides, I have just removed Mary from her post. I promise that this will not happen again.” The old lady said.
As soon as the old lady said that, Mary’s eyes dimmed down. She was completely hopeless.
“No, I have known what’s going on.” Rui shook her head and said. Then she said to Mary with a smile, “Mary, take it easy. I’ve checked it out. It’s not your fault.”
After Rui said that, all these in the hall were nervous.
What? It’s not Mary’s fault?
Was there really a person behind the scene?
The people of Su family looked at each other confusedly.
“Miss Liu, what’s going on?” The old lady said with a dull look.
Rui didn’t speak but turned her head to Hai, who was not far away from her…
