Yang Cheng immediately stopped her. "Mom, how can you ask Ruoxi such a question? That's too hurtful. "
"Why not? What's there to hide?! You have to be open and aboveboard. If you talk about it in private, won't people talk about it? If you didn't do it, then say it out loud. I don't want to see any evidence. I just want to hear my daughter-in-law say that she didn't do it! "
Lin Ruoxi let out a self-deprecating laugh. Her eyes were slightly red as she asked, "Mom, do you think I did it?"
Guo Xuehua was speechless. She frowned and couldn't say a word.
"Honey, just say it. Whether you did it or not, I can accept it." Yang Cheng was also a little anxious.
Lin Ruoxi took a deep breath and looked at Yang Cheng. She asked again, "In your heart, you also think that I did it, right?"
"I …" Yang Cheng looked into her deep eyes. He wanted to say "no", but he thought of the past and the incident with Li Jianhe a few days ago.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lin Ruoxi's eyes, but it was gone in a flash. She then turned to Sun Hai and his son and said, "I don't have any evidence, and I won't answer whether I did it or not. I've said everything I need to say on this matter. I'll be waiting for CEO Sun to come to Yu Lei to sign the acquisition agreement. "
Guo Xuehua and Yang Cheng felt their hopes dashed when they heard this.
Lin Ruoxi's expression and tone didn't seem to be able to clear her name. She didn't even have the intention to defend herself. Although she didn't directly admit it, it was no different from admitting it!
His attitude angered Sun Hai to the point of scolding him. "You're admitting to it! What a junior. Although the old CEO of Yu Lei was a woman, she was still a woman. She built Yu Lei up single-handedly and won the admiration of the business community in Zhonghai.
I didn't expect the old CEO to trust the wrong person. After Yu Lei was handed over to you, it was like a lion that didn't know what to eat, biting and eating people everywhere! Do you have the morality of a private entrepreneur?
You earn so much money, live in such a big house, drive so many luxury cars, but you still let so many ordinary families live in poverty. Aren't you afraid of retribution?! "
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were glistening, but she said coldly, "CEO Sun, I respect you as an elder, but please be careful with your words. Don't involve my grandmother."
"I want to say it!" Sun Hai was so angry that she burst into tears. She grabbed Guo Xuehua's hand and said earnestly, "Ms. Guo, you don't know how bad this is for our Bainian Department Store and nearly a thousand employees!
"Ms. Guo, you don't know how bad this matter is for nearly a thousand employees of our Bainian Department Store!
If our Bainian Department Store is acquired, I, an old man, don't have many years to live. It's not a big deal.
However, the employees I recruited have no educational background and have no concept of those industries. When the time comes, won't they all be kicked out of the company?!
These are all ordinary families! It wasn't easy for them to take root in this city, but they cut off their stalks. How cruel must they be! "
Guo Xuehua was also shocked when she heard this. She turned to Lin Ruoxi and said, "Ruoxi, do you have to be so cruel? Do you have to acquire Bainian Department Store?!"
Lin Ruoxi replied mechanically, "The market value of Bainian Department Store is only 1.3 billion. I offered 1.5 billion, which is already far higher than the market price.
With Director Sun's management style and philosophy, our company's audit department has calculated that Bainian Department Store can only last for about five years at most, and then it will go bankrupt due to difficulties in cash flow.
At that time, those employees will leave empty-handed. Instead of that, why don't I give you the money? At most, you can give it to your employees and let them work elsewhere. Isn't that better? "
"Shut up!!"
Sun Hai pointed at Lin Ruoxi and said with a short breath, "What do you know! Do you know that it has been more than forty years since I founded Bainian! He is like my life, my soul!
Do you think you can buy anything with money!? Do you think money can replace the feelings of my employees who have worked for me for decades!? Do you think you can step on the heads of us old men with money!?
Let me tell you, Lin Ruoxi, even if our Bainian Department Store goes bankrupt tomorrow, I will not give in to you! I will not sell my soul to a female devil like you!!! "
Lin Ruoxi's beautiful eyes seemed to flash with electricity, and she sneered, "Alright, since you say so, I really want to compete with you. Let's wait and see. If 1.5 billion is not enough, I will give you 1.6 billion. If 1.6 billion is not enough, I will give you 2 billion!
I don't believe that your soul is worth the price I give! "
"Shut up!!!"
This stern reprimand did not come from Sun Hai, but from Guo Xuehua who was beside him!
One of Guo Xuehua's hands was raised high, as if she wanted to slap Lin Ruoxi.
But at the last moment, she still resisted that action, and only raised it high.
Yang Cheng also reacted at this time, because he was also immersed in Lin Ruoxi's sudden cruel words, and could not believe that these words were said by Lin Ruoxi.
With a face full of grief and disbelief, Guo Xuehua kept shaking her head, and said with tears in her eyes: "How can you be such a child, how can you say such cold-blooded words?"
Lin Ruoxi's face was expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and the raised hand of Guo Xuehua did not move her at all.
"When I saw you playing with those children in the orphanage, I felt that although you looked a little cold, your heart was warm and kind.
But today, why did you shatter my acknowledgment of you in front of me?
Ruoxi, do you know that you are stabbing your mother's heart with a sharp knife! "
Guo Xuehua struggled to shake off her hand in pain, and bowed deeply to Sun Hai, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I didn't expect things to be like this. What you did was right, you can't abandon so many employees. Don't worry, I won't let her buy your Bainian Department Store. "
With that, Guo Xuehua said to Lin Ruoxi coldly: "Ruoxi, don't be so stubborn, give up the acquisition plan, or you will not call me mother in the future, our Yang Family does not want a pure cold-blooded businessman to be our daughter-in-law!"
"Mom! What are you doing, do you have to make things so out of control! "Yang Cheng was dissatisfied and stood in front of Lin Ruoxi to protect her.
"Kid, are you possessed by a ghost or something? She did things like this, and you still want to protect her!? If she treats you as her husband, and I as her mother-in-law, would she speak with such an attitude!? "Guo Xuehua said angrily.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly laughed coldly a few times, "If we don't accept it, others may not be willing to accept it. The acquisition must be carried out. Even if you all oppose me, I will not change my mind.
If you are not willing to accept me, then it is fate. Anyway … "I will only be disliked by others if I stay here …"
After Lin Ruoxi said indifferently, she didn't even look at Yang Cheng's dull and stunned expression, and walked back into the house.
"Mr. Sun, you can go, I welcome you to Yu Lei to sign the agreement at any time …"
Sun Hai was so angry that his head was dizzy, and his body suddenly fell on his son Sun Peng.
Guo Xuehua also didn't have time to continue to be angry with Lin Ruoxi, she stepped forward to support Sun Hai, and said to Sun Peng: "Stop talking, send Mr. Sun to the hospital! He will be in trouble if he continues like this! "
Sun Peng hurriedly nodded, and together with Guo Xuehua, sent Sun Hai to the car, and immediately drove away.
Guo Xuehua watched the car drive away, and returned to the door. She looked at Yang Cheng who was still standing there in a daze, and sighed: "Yang Cheng, don't be in a daze, I know you also don't believe what happened in front of you, and mom also doesn't want what just happened to be true, but you have to pull yourself together, there must be an outcome."
Yang Cheng took a deep breath, and walked into the house together with Guo Xuehua.
After entering the house, they saw Mother Wang anxiously walking in circles downstairs, Yang Cheng asked: "Mother Wang, where is Ruoxi?"
Mother Wang said worriedly: "She went upstairs, and I don't know what she is doing. Young master, I really haven't seen Miss in such a long time, as if she is completely cut off from the outside world, how did it become like this? She was still fine when we were having breakfast … This … "
"Don't worry, let's have a good talk, I think Ruoxi might be in a bad mood today, and said those words out of anger," Yang Cheng comforted.
Mother Wang reluctantly nodded, but she knew in her heart that it wouldn't be so easy.
Not long after, Lin Ruoxi finally came out of her room, but when she went downstairs, she was dragging a red Todds suitcase in one hand, and a piece of paper in the other hand.
Yang Cheng was about to ask Lin Ruoxi why she said those words in anger, and when he saw her dressed like this, he couldn't help but shout: "Lin Ruoxi, what is the meaning of this?!"
"Don't shout at me, who do you think you are?" Lin Ruoxi replied coldly, put the suitcase on the floor, and held the piece of paper in her hand vertically in front of Yang Cheng, Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang.
Yang Cheng only took a glance at it, and he stood there like a wooden stake, unable to move.
"Marriage agreement?"
Guo Xuehua read it aloud, and when she saw the words below, her face turned green, and she shouted: "You guys have a contract marriage!?"
Mother Wang was also dumbfounded, and she covered her mouth, unable to believe her eyes!
